There can be no question but that the
people of Ohio are in earnest about Nc
Kinley's candidacy. The enthusiasm
his name occasioped during the state
convention showed how strong is his
hold both upon the people and the poll
tfcians. But tisn't always the man for
whom the most noise is made that VIII 8
the race, as the repeated defeats of
James G. Blaine declare. The McKin-
ley boom is in good condition, but his
friends should take care it is not worked
too ASST sidueusly. IT may wear itself out
before the convention next June.

must come. Coming expenditures must
be met, and the present debt must he
paid; and money cannot always be bor-
rowed for these objects. The system of
loans is but temporary in its nature,
and must soon explode. 1t is a system
not only ruinous while it lasts, but one
that must soon fail and leave US desti-
tute.. As an individual who undertakes
to live by borrowing soon finds his ori-
ginal means devoured by interest, and
next, no one left to borrow from, so it
must be with the government.
The words of Lincoln aptly describe
the situation today. The government
has borrowed millions of dollars during
the present administration, and the end
is not yet. The country is pursuing a
ruinous policy, which, if unchecked, can
lead but to bankruptcy.
The people will have an opportunity
next November to repent of their mis-
take foul years ago. and the words of
are a solemn admonitlon as to
how they should act.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. thereby destroying the foun-
-dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The propretors have SO much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address:

A VOICE FROM THE PAST.

All the Democratic editorials written
between now and next November can
not convince the American people that
the enactment of protective policy,
similar in purpose, if not degree, to that
which bears the name of Mckinley, is
not the need of the hour. The past
tnree years have produced facts more
eloquent than all the arguments of Dem
ocratic orators, to whom the task of ex-
cusing their party's policy is difficult
one.'
The United States, after passing
through "a fearful conflict, when its re-
sources were drained to their utmost,
saw the period of its greatest prosperity
from 1865 to 1892. During those years
the increase of wealth in this CT untry
was greater by many millions than the
Under the -benefcent workings of pro-
tective system this country was able to
\ repair the damages the civil war had
caused, to gather its shattered finances
and place them upon basis that made
the country's credit unquestioned
throughout the world. The industries
that had been stopped because of the
war were revived; avenues of employ
ment opened Tor labor, and the country,
began new era of development, which
closed with the election of 1892.
The disastrous results which followed
that event are too painfully impressed
upon the people to need emphasis. The
greatest financial panic, with consequent
stagnation of business, the country had
election. The commercial life of the
country reached such low ebb that i'm
provement or collapse must come, and
with the prospect of Republican success
in '96 times have taken turn for the
better, though, after all, the improve
ment is slight.
In view of the know. edge which the
American people have learned since
1892, it is interesting to note the views
OF Abraham Lincoln, ex pressed in 1843,
upon this same question. His remarks
at that time showed how clearly he read
the future. At a Whig meeting in
Springfield Mr.. Lincoln was appointed
to prepare an address to the People of
the State," and commenting upon his
work, he said
The first of our resolutions declares a |
tariff of duties upon foreign importa,
tions, producing sufficient revenues for
the support of the general government,
and SO adjusted as to protect American !
Industry, to be indispe nsably necessary
to the prosperity of the American peo-
pie; and the second declares direct tax
alton for a national revenue to be i'm
proper.
For several years past the revenues of
the government have been unequal to
its expenditures, and consequently loan
after loan, sometimes direct and some
times indirect in form, has been resort
ed to. BY this means a new national
debt has been created, and is still grow
ing on US with rapidlty fearful to con-
template-a rapidity only to be reason
ably expected in time of war. This
state of things has been produced by a
prevailing unwilling ness either to in
crease the tariff or to resort to direct
taxation. But the one or the other

combine in themselves the positions of

A nervous young minister was filling
the pulpit for a country charge that
was without regular pastor. A part
by tho local paper The very pious
old lady at whose house he stayed, in
showing him his room. said: ut amt
everybody I'd put In this room. This
here room is full of sacred associations
to me-" she went on. my first hus-
band died In that bed with his head
on three pillows. and poor Mr.. jerks
died sitting in that corner. Sometimes
when I come into the room in the
dark I think / see him sitting there
still. My OWL father died lyin' right
on that lounge right under the window
there. Poor pa he was spiritualist
and he allus said he'd appear in this
room after he died and sometimes
am foolish enough to look for him. Il
you should see anything of him to-
night you'd better not iell me. It'd be
sign to me that there was something
in spiritualism, and I'd hate to think
that. My son by my first man fell
dead of heart disease right where you
stand. He was doctor. and there's
two whole skeletons in that closet there
belonging to him. and half a dozen
skulls in that lower drawer. II you

wasn't an observer Of nature but nao
heard of and wondered at the yeiiow
cats doings. Old HI Hubbard put OUT
lot Of corn last year near the guiiy
on his farm. Coons got to resorting 10
the corn in late August. and one nlght
the yellow cat went there. too. likely
thinking to find partridge sleeping
among the stalks low down or q smaii
bird or two. The yellow cat didn't hha
the birds, but 1t did find black COON
and It liked the black coon uncommon
ly well. The two got acquainted, just
as wolf or coyote sometimes gets 10
know shepherd dog. The two be-
came great friends. They went along
the rows OF corn hills together. as their
tracks in the sand showed, and the ca
would sit on its launches while the
coon pulled down fat ear. After q
time the cat and coon wandered of
across the field toward Zephyr Heights
Swamp and In the road stopped. Bert
Jones was coming along the road just
then. He had been up to Northwood
on an errand which wasn't anybody's
business. and lie had his dog along.
The dog is fighter from bulldog and
bear-tracking stock. II was believed
that II could whip even Phil Perry's s
fighting dog. which once cleaned out
a wildcat. Jones set his dog at ths
cat and coon and away 1t went with
yelping bark that made old Hi Hub
bard come to the window. The dog got
TO the cat and the coon quickly, but II
wasn't circumstance to the way II
got away from them, once 1t bro.a
loose. Coone are mighty good fighters,
and lean yellow cats are in this way
quite as good as coons. The two could
have whipped whole pack Of such
dogs as Jones'. The cat got onto the
dogs back and stretched out Its hind
legs with the claws raking the dog's 6
hide. That was when the dog tried to
bite the coon. When the dog turned
on the cat. the coon set Its teeth into
the dogs tail, and the tail is crooked
now. The row did not last long-only
while Jones was running up to join In
