A WORD Or TWO ON BEING a sNOB.
GOODWILL would come easier if we
could all contrive to make our eXpecta-
tions Of one another bear more rea-
sonable relation to facts Most of us
are apt to have a general standard OF
looks, conduct morals, intelligence,
and agreea bleness, and to think favor
ably of persons who come up to it or
surpass it, and more or less unfavor-
ably of persons who don't. People who
come up to our standard are mice, y
and we like their company and culti-
Vate their society, and other people
are not mice" and we are apt to speak
of them with some disparagement, to
AVOID being thrown with them, to sigh
when they ask us to dinner, and to
think the time spent with them is time
wasted. But we can easily discrimi-
nate overmuch and be ungencrously
fastidious about our companions. Peo-
pie whose circle of playmates is limited
to select few of certain scarce kind
are bound to be narrowed by their So
cial circumstances. 1t is much better
for them to compel themselves to take
people more as they come, and try
to get some pleasure out of every one,
even if it is only such self-denying
happiness as comes from pleasure
given. christmas Decemberl Scrib-

Hon. GALUsHA A. GROW of Pennsyl-

He was first elected to Congress in 1859.
He has continued to Grow until he is
now congressman-at-large while his
majority has grown from about 500 to
297, 446, the largest ever cast for any
congressman.-Time Star.

hands, and it will be a busy one too
with most interesting results. An ex-

would prove of the utmost interest.

AROUND ST. MARYS.

The Carter Oil Company are starting
new well on the Broadwater farm,
three-quarters of mile east of the
Plum Run development. This we'll is
intended to test large scope of terri
tory in the Hebron field.
The Hebron wells are all holding up
very nicely. This pool and the Ben
wood pool, in Ohio, appear to be racing
in the matter of production; one week
Hebron is ahead, the next week Ben
wood takes the lead. The Carter Com
pany's well, on Clark Smiths land,
north of tho Meadville development
some distance, is reported to be quite q
gasser from the Keener sand, but will
be drilled to the Big Injun.
L. j. Murphy drilled in good we'll in
the edge of Tyler county, Wednesday.
1t is said to be good for 20 barrels an
hour.
The Williamson Oil Company, on
Robert Reynolds farm, on the Island,
are now drilling down to the Big Injun
sand. They had trouble in their work,
as they had crooked hole to contend
with, and found no oil in the Cow Run
sand, yet they are not going to stop un-
til they reach the Big Injun. They
will know by the fifteenth of this
month what the result of deep drilling
will be in this field.

up a new pool in this part of the

SILVER Dick" Bland. of Mo-, is the
fifth democrat who has entered the
fight for the leadershipo of the minority
in the next House. Strange to say the
fight for this position has already be-

understand why.

Self-preservation is the first law Of
lawers, as well as of nature. That is
why the better class of patent lawyers
are making their voices heard in pro-
testing against methods adopted by
some patent solicitors to obtain the
money of Inventors, for services alleged
to be but not actually rendered. They
recognize that unless the honorab BILE
men in the profession can put stop to
these practices the inventors and the
general public will soon be CHASING
the best of them with the shysters
whose only object is to work the in
ventor for all the money he can raise.
In protecting their profession from the
bad and designing they necessarily
protect the inventor, and the inventor
never needed protection worse than he
does now. Among the worst of the
Objectionable methods, which cannot
be reached under the limited authority
welded by the Commissioner of Pat
ents, but which it is believed could be
reached and stopped by the organiza-
tion of Patent Bar, are the periodical
gambling lottery competitions and the

Senator Lodge has put a stop to all
the talk of the probability of his going
into the cabinet or the diplomatic SER
vice by saying: "There is no place in
the gift of the President that would
tempt me to give up the position of
Senator from Massachusetts,. The very
fact that went to Canton would indi-
cate, it seems to me, that l had no ap-
plication on file. AS matter of fact,
would not permit any one to say any
thing for me. There is no place de-
sire other than the one l now occupy"
1t is very clear that if all the other
repu blican Senators have the same
idea that Mr.. Lodge has of the com
paratiye desirability of being "a Sena-
tor and being memb Der of the Ca binet
that no Senator will be in President
McKinleys cabinet, but there is reason
to believe that there are Senators who
are willing to accept cabinet portfolios.
Chairman Cannon, of the House APP
preparation committee, who is already
up to his ears in the work of prepar-
ing the regular appropriation bills,
was asked to outline the policy that
would be followed by his committee at
this session of Congress. In reply he
said: "The committee will no doubt
recommend appropriations for an eff
fcient public service. The receipts of
the government, however, are less than
the expenditures, and this deficit has
been and is being made up by borrow
ing money at interest. As long as this
situation continues the appropriations
and expenditures should be held down
rigidly to the smallest aggregate COM
patible with the efficiency of the pub
lie service. No new expenditures
ought to be, and in my judgment none
will be authorized that are not abso-
lutely indispensable for the public safe
ty and the preservation of the National
honor. In other words, no new eX-
penditures will be authorized while
this condition exists, however desira-
bic they may be or would be if we had
the income to coyer them" If this
policy be strictly followed there will
be no new public buildings authorized
at this session.

THE POLITICIAN.

The big Mckinley and Hobart jolli-
fcation meeting held last week under
the auspices of the united republican
campaign clubs of the District of Col
umbia was shouting success. The
republicans of the National Capital
have no votes, but the managers OF
every national campaign made by the
party can testify to their efficiency as
workers for the party and TO their lib
eralitY in contributions The largest
available hall was secured for the
meeting-the only one larger has an
ice floor and is being used as skating
rink, which made it entirely too cold
for a redhot affair like this meeting
5000 tickets were divided among the
clubs. Each ticket called for a seat
and they were all used. Besides, hun
dreds stood up and many had to be
turned away for lack of room. Quite a
number OF Senators and Representa-
tiyes participated in the jolification.

Mr. Cleveland may not be trying to
play into the hands of those who are
trying to prevent any general revision
of the tariff By the next Congress, but
that is about the only construction
that can be placed upon his having
limited to Senator that he would al
without his signature if the Senate
passed it at this session without further
amendment Had he desired the bill
to become law at the last session he
could easily have accomplished it, as
he could have controlled the votes of
enough democratic Senators to have
offset the votes of the objecting silver
republicans.

Representative Grosnenor did not let
any grass grow on the misunderstanding
story that he was to be candidate for
Speaker of the next House. He not
only denied the story, but took occa-

Congress knows to be true, that Speak
er Reed will have no opponent for re-
election before the republican caucus
of the next House.

BRYAN's CHANCES.

Bryan's chances for. election are daily
growing brighter, according to all tie
Information which reaches New York
He is losing no friends and S.the gold
Democrats are constantly dropping back
into line with more or less. grace, and,
Notwithstanding the positive announce
ment that gold Democratic convention
ia to be held at indianapolis on September
g. to nominate another Presidential
ticket, there are but few Democrats
who believe that anything done at that
convention will either ieopardize Bryan's
election or play any important part in tho
campaign. The Democratic managers
figure that as soon as the campaign gets
fairly started It will be plain to every
body that it must be either Bryan or Nc
Kinley, and that fully 90 per cent. of the
Democrats will vote for Bryan, and that
for every one of the 5''per cent who will
vote for Mckinley or a gold Democrat,
or not vote at all, Bryan will get the votes
of at least ten silver Republicans. The
fact that Tammany Hall has announced
its intention to support Bryan and Sewall,
Notwithstanding the extraordinary Efforts
made by prominent gold Democrats to get
it to with hold action until the New York
state convention met in September, is
a straw showing the drift of Democratic
sentiment in the stronghold of gold
which will have much effect in Bryan's
favor elsewhere.
Bryan's speech at the monster noti1ca-
tion in New York city tonight will not
only set the keynote for the Democratic
campaign, but will set the pace for the
Republicans to follow, as Mark Hanna
has said thet the Republican plan of cam
paign would not be settled upon until they
have the speech before them. Mr.. Bryan
ought to, and doubtless does feel highly
complimented to occupy this position be-
fore the country.

FREE SILVER AND THE FARMER.

Free silver has its strongest advocates
among the farmers. They know that
something is wrong. They have seen
their condition go steadily downward,
and they welcome anything that promises
them a change. They reason that, no
matter what may be the effect Of free
coinage, 1t cannot possibly make their
condition worse than it is now. It Is idle
to talk to the farmer about a high tariff
being the onlyJremedy for 1.-THE existing
ills, for he knows thatl we have had the
highest kind''of tariff for the past thirty
years, and the farming interest has
steadily grown poorer while manufactur-
ing interests, protected by the tariff, have
steadily grown richer.
The farmer has seen all legislation,
state and national, enacted purely in favor
Of the great manufacturing interests and
corporations and when he has voted to
send farmers to help make laws he has

would be for the welfare of their fellow
farmers and show an interest only in the
measures affecting corporations. He has
seen congressman, with no business con
nections, yet sporting round from ore
years end to the other on the $4,000 ar
nual salary that appears to have no end.
All these things make the farmer discor-
tented. Let him get Ibis: just
share of the growing Swealth of the
country, and he will be satisfied. But he
has been fooled too many times. He has
been swinded ooGmuob. Bryan was
nominated by men who have suffered by
agricultural depression, and things mutt
be materially changed in November II
they do not give,him their loyal support.

WHO ARE THE BOLTERS.

There are some Democratic "kiokers"
against Bryan and Sewall. They have
been misled by the goldite outcry, but
they will see the lighU before long, and
most of them will return to the party;
for they are honest at heart. But there
are other "kickers' who may be olassi-
fed thus:
Fellows who hold Office under the ad-
ministration and think it will help them
to assail Bryan and Sewall.
Persons who have held office for twenty
years or more as Democrats, They want
things run in the old way.
Parties who never earned an honest
dollar, They are loud in denouncing free
ooinage.
These are the "kickers" whose opinions
are SO freely quoted by the goldite press
They amount to nothing compared with
the mighty Democratic hosts that are
for Bryan and Sewall.

THE WOMEN IN THE FIGHT.

Women have no votes, but they have
considerable influence with the voters.
This was shown In the last Presidential
election, when the fight for q reduced
tariff was backed up by the strong
feminine sentiment in favor of cheaper
goods. Reduction in tariff rates, 1t was
shown. meant lower scale Of prices for
many articles of household necessity, and,
accordingly, the great majority of the
women of the country were unquestion-
ably supporters of tariff reform and threw
their inuflenoe on that side. What their
influence Is whom they throw it on any
side is too we'll known to admit Of dis
pute, and there can be no doubt that they

Day by day the pressure upon the peo-
pie becomes more severe. Day by day
new classes are involved and made to
suffer. For years the holders of city
property have looked complaoently at
the decline of farm land, never dreaming
that their turn was to come. The
gathering of the population into the cities
has tended to hold off the decline there,
but the end of this movement will come
sooner or later. Then city property, like
farm land, will radidly sink before an ap-
preciating money standard. Even now
there is no lack of instances of such de-
cline. The small house owner is as surely
in the way OF falling prices as is the
farmer though the effect may be longer
in reaching him.

BRYAN PASSING THROUGH OHIO.

The ovations to Mr.. Bryan in passing
through Ohio outstrips anything in the
past that have been given by either of the
great political parties to their standard
bearers Even Blaine, the great idol Of
the Republican party, did not evoke as
much enthusiasm in his remarkable cam
paign Of 1884 as did the imam of the
people," yesterday, who is now on his
way to New York to receive notification
of his nomination for the highest civil
trust of the world.
At every point in Ohio where the train
stopped, Mr.. Bryan was met by hundreds
and thousands, who had come for miles
around to see him and shake him by the
hand. They came to see the man who
stands pledged before God and man to
rid the country of financial system that
has made monopoly stalk forth through
out the land in the insolence of power; /;
that has made the rich the richer, and
the poor the poorer, and that is rapidly
multiplying the damnable curse of mil
lionaires and tramps.
But at no place along the line was the
demonstration as great as in this city, the
home of his distinguished opponent.
When the train hove in sight, fully 5000
people were at the depot. Men and
women of every description were present
to get glimpse of Mr.. Bryan and his
noble wife. .r.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were highly elated
at the receptions all through Ohio, but
the one at Canton exceeded any expects-
ton that they had had, and the demon
stration yesterday most certainly puts a
quietus on the hue and cry that in Can
ton everybody is going to vote for MoKiu-

Low PRICES.

The great middle class, the bone and
sinew of the country; energetic, law
abiding farmers, business people, par
tisans. small manufacturers (the number
of the latter steadily deolining), all join
in the complaint: Hard times'and Low
prices" This Is not idle talk, or
calamity howling'-it is fact. In spite
Of harder work and constant worry and
anxiety-the strife that kills-the bur-
dens of life are constantly becoming
heavier. Low prices drag us down like
the quicksand and while property declines
in value, and labor is of less and less
worth, taxes go on forever, never stor-
ping, never decreasing. Taxes and the
poor remain with us always.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-08-13

When people ask you what Bryan's
plans and purposes are. quote his own
words at Lincoln, Neb, recently. He
said; "This agitation of the money ques-
tion arises out of vicious system of
finance that has not had In view the well
fare of the great masses Of the people-a
system of finance which has allowed a
few to gain an unjust advantage over the
maryland the purpose of agitation is to
restore the gold and silver coinage Of. Il g
constitution and to place silver back by
the side of gold as one of the money
metals of this country"

Senator Woloott, of Colorado, is the
happy recipient of good deal OF praise
In these days from our Republican CON
temporaries for his support Of the Hanna
and Hobart ticket. To be sure, he is a
believer in the free coinage of silver, they
say, but he sensiSly recognizes the fact
that there are other issues In the cam
Faign and so he is going to stand by the
candidates of the grand old party, even
IL they are on a gold platform. These
same journals have run short OF language
TO express their contempt for such sound
money Democrats as have announced
their determination to support Bryan in
spite OF their disagreement with his views
on a single issue. Is it any less natural for
Democrat who believes in low tariffs,
an income tax, local self government, and
the subsection of trusts to public au-

had much to do with the Democratic
victory Of four years ago.
The women are now In the free silver
fight They know that free and unlimited
coinage of silver means increased wages
for their husbands, and that there is moth
ing that 50 much inspires the laborer, the
mechanic and the artisan, and nothing so
much fills the household with Joy, as
knowledge Of the fact that the wages
of the husband are going to be increased.
