THE Mckinley craze has quoted down
somewhat, but 1t Is the quiet winch comes
from attainment of purpose. NO one of
Mchlnleys admirers Will candIdiy survey
the proportions OF the man to determine
whether he IS a suitable person for the
position To which he asplreS during this
period of truhlesOme times. when the
safety Of the country demands clear
head, good purpose and unfaltering de-
termination on the part OF the chief exc
cuuve. Mchlnley's one claim to dis
unctlon rests upon the fact that his name
is used IN connection with n law which
the people repudlated at the first oppor-
tunlty. The people have taken to running
after dispensers OF YARDS and political
Chinese doctors, because the regular
practitioners cannot ut once cure distress
which Is the result of years Of business
dissipation, extravaganza and false ideas
OF political economy. 1t needs time to
tone mp the system, but the people want
some OF Mchinley's patent medicine SO
as TO effect cure at once.
Mckinley stands among the poorest
executives Ono has had. Prominent re-
publlcans admit lie has no executive
ability and that his administration of
public affairs In Ohio was weak. inefficient
aud loose. Senator Sawyer knows this.
so does La Toilette; so do many other
delegates to the st. Louis convention
who still will insist that Mckinley is the
logical candidate" and that it would he
treason To the people to do aught to
thwart MchInlev's ambition.
There Is reason for the growing spirit
ofanarchy throughout the country. Hon.
esty IN political matters is at a discount
and hypocrisy u in the saddle. Mcklnley
demonstrated his untitness as an exc
cutiye while governor Of Ohio. but he Is

can create prosperity. And those who
know better, fall in with the delusion

The cow BEATS THE BICYCLE.

Centralia has passed an ordinance
requiring bicyclers to give up the
public walks to the COWS. The act
declares that it is unlawful ito ride or
propel while riding any bicycle along
upon lengthwise of any. public walk or
sidewalk within said city" and further
that it is unlawful ''to obstruct the same
or in any manner hinder or interfere
with the safe and convenient use
thereof by pedestrians" The bicycle
ordinance may have been necessary.
but what about the COWS? If they do
not hinder the safe and more especially
convenient use of walks in Centralia
more than bicycles ever did, then we
give up the doughnut. Consistency is a
jewel and it seems to US there is
certainly question before the house.
If the bicycle, then why not the COW?

Death of Former Centralia Resident.

Died, at her home in Terry, Montana,
June Sth, 1885, Mrs. Virginia Landry,
wife of George Landry, and daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Lambert of
Centralia, Wisconsin. Her age was
twenty-six years and nine months,
which showed her prime in woman
hood, just in the full spring of life.
About six weeks ago, after passing the
winter in Wisconsin, Mrs. Landry
found her health failing and accepted
the advice of physicians and with her
family returned TO the more bracing air
of her western home, accompanied by
her sister Elida who remained with her
to the last. But all was Of no avail.
Her life gradually faded here on earth,
to begin anew in the better land. Her
suffering was borne with Christian
patience and resignation. To her
husband, who was with her constantly,
she confded her wishes regarding her
three little boys, whom she fully
realized would soon be without a
mothers care. Shortly before death
she dictated letter of farewell to her
father, mother, brother, sisters and
friends in which she begged them not
to mourn for her, assuring them of her
Christian faith, and a hope of happy
meeting in the future.
To all who were acquainted with Mrs.
Landry it is unnecessary to speak of
her quiet, amiable disposition, her
affectionate nature and the many
estimable qualities of her mind and
heart. To such as she, ITO live is
Christ, but to die is gain"

Sawyer Not a Candidate.

We for one are glad that Sawyer is
not a candidate for Governor, for if he
was the old treasury matter would be
revived and used to the detriment OF
the Republican party. One Of the
strongest reasons against the re-nomi-
nation of Geo. Upham is because he
signed two bills which released Baetz
and kuehn from their liability to the
state, when the Republican party in
convention assembled had promised
the people that they would leave that
matter wholly in the hands of the
Court for disposal. Upham and every
other man who had any part in the
release of the eX-treasurer obligations
should not be re-nominated, and if
successful in denomination, should be
defeated at the polls. While we
understand that Mr.. Sawyer is not now.
and never has been favorable to the
release of the eX-treasurer obligations,
he would be charged with desire to
reclaim said funds by the opposition
party. Avoid nominating any man who
had any part or interest in the treasury
matter, land convince the people that the
Republican party desires to be honest
with them and what they promise in
their platform can be relied upon.
There is no need of uniting upon a
candidate until the state convention
convenes; first let us elect our delegates
anti-Upham and be sure of that, then
select man to unite on afterwards
Wood county is favorable to any good
man who can be relied upon for
honesty and integrity in the discharge
of the duties of that office.
