part of the week continued very
warm and dry, but commencing
the 10 favorable rains occurred
nearly every day over large por.
tions of the state. The drought,
however, continues to prevail il
some of the western counties, in
southern portions of the central
district. and especially over the
southeastern and coast region.
The temperature was above nor

and where sufficient rain fell
crops made rapid growth.
Central District.-With the ex-
ception of local areas in Montgom-
cry, Anson, Stanley and Forsyth
counties, the entire district re-
ceived copious rains this week
from the 10Th to 23d; the rains
were quite heavy and washed
lands at a few points. Hail was
reported in nine counties with
some damage to crops, necessitat,
ing some replanting, but less
than might have been expected.
A very favorable change resulted
from the timely breaking of the
drought, and crops are nov max
ing splendid growth. Setting
sweet potato slips made much
headway, and the transplanting
of tobacco is approaching com
pletion. Some corn was planted
to replace failed crops, and some
cotton was damaged by hail

NEfNLEr GIVES WAY 10 BUSHNELL.
William Mckinley became yesterday
n private citizen and Asa $. Bushnell
assumed the duties of governor of Ohio.
Ex-Governor Mckinley was chief exec
utiye Of the state -four years and his
administration was marked by integ-
rity, judicious economy and the eXer-
else of business principles in all depart
ments. He showed Il high order Of
executive ability and made n record
which places him among the very best
governors Ohio has had and that Is no
ordinary praise. His successor, Gov
Bushnell, is a man of practical
affairs, but not without expert
ence in public life. His election
last November by n great majority at
tested Il measure of popular confidence
which there is every reason to expect
will be justified by his administration.
Ex-Governor Mckinley will be no
private citizen than he has bcen as gov
ernor. The last Ohio republican state
convention unanimously endorsed him
as II candidate for the presidential
nomination and Notwithstanding re-
ports to the contrary there is no rea-
son to doubt that he has the hearty
support of all the Ohio republican lead
ers and will have the full and stead
fast support of the delegation from that
state in the st. Louis convention. Re
lipyp1 pf official dutipS II iS tn bp prp-
sumed that Ex-Governor Mckinley will
give more attention to his campaign
for the presidential nomination, which
as yet has not developed marked ac-
tivity. Whatever shall be the political
future of William Mckinley, he has
distinguished himself as one of the
most patriotic of Americans, whose life,
public and private, has been above re-
Droach.

sci hostile action by III government
and II Is 10 be observed that such are
for the most part churclmen-do not
counsel wisely. At a mass meeting held
in Detroit Sunday to express sym
pathy with the Armenian sufferers n
letter was read from Mr.. Don VI. Dick
lnson In which he said that In view
Of the remotencSs of the United States
from the scene of the outrages in the
Turkish empire and the presence of
the representatives of the powers there,
he did not believe that intervention
by the United States by force would
be either wise, necessary or effective.
nor would it be wise TO send Il ships
out of American waters now.
This is unquestionably the rational
view of the matter. American mission
aries in Turkey have lost property and
experienced some ~hardships. but there
lns been no loss of life among them,
while 1t is understood they are now
receiving protection from the Turkish
government. For the property destroyed
and the hardships suffered the United
States has demanded an indemnity and
although 1t has received no assurance
that this will be paid there is as yet
no reason to assume that it will not be.
All the talk, therefore, about sending n
fleet to enforce the payment of the in
demnity is not only premature, but is
apt to have an effect unfavorable to
American missionaries In the Turkish
empire, rendering their position there
less secure than it now is. Possibly a
show of force on our part
might draw the indemnity de-
manded out of the almost bank
rupt treasury of Turkey, but it is more
than probable that it would have no
such result and would involve us i'm
complications of greater gravity. Re
cent events have made 1t apparent that
the Turkish government is not easily
intimidnted. Besides, 1t manifestly
would be unwise TO send our war YES

waters.
Everybody will endorse the rcso-
lutions adopted at the Detroit meeting
asking the United States government
to bring to bear OH the Christian powers
of Europe all possible moral influence
to end the Turkish atrocities. The SEN
timent of the American people cannot
too strongly expressed against these
fearful %outrages. But our government
is hardly prepared to use force against
mand for it.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 13.-The Commercial

Since the nomination of Senator Blackburn
by the democratic caucus and of Congress-
man Godfrey Hunter by the republican
caucus. there is a bitter political fight for
election as senator. Blackburn and his
friends are attending the burial of Repre-
sentative Wilson. Hunter has had an all day
reception and received hundreds of con-
gratulatory kilograms. The law provides for
balloting the second Tuesday after the as
sembling the legislature. Blackburn's
friends say there will be no joint ballot
Tuesday, January 81 if flibustering will pre-
vent 1t. The special election for Wilson's
successor will be January 20. Blackburn
men will have the new democratic member
here Tuesday, January 81. They insist no
ballot will be taken till he qualities. Mean
time all interest centers in the committee
considering the contests for the SEATS of
Hoffman and Tompkins. both democrats. The
attitude of the two p%opulists is also still
watched. Without the populists and with
Wilson's place filled there is a tie between
the republicans and democrats. The com
mittee on elections was selected by lot.
Whatever may be the finding of the com
mittee, the fight will be on the adoption of
the committees report. If two democrats
are unseated Hunter will have no further
trouble, but the indications are that there
will be a long struggle. Blackburn men de-
