We cannot overestimato the value OF
the reports being furnished every
month by our consuls. They are par
tloularly valuable to the agricultural
interests. A great many good things
have been reported during the last two
years Some Of these reports have been
printed in large volumes. like the con-
sular report on cattle. issued some
years ago. This was n volume OF over
n thousand pages. illustrated with sew
eral hundred full-page cuts. II was n
revelation to those people that sup
posed that the chief breeds OF the world
could be comprised In a score OF titles.
The monthly reports are Issued IN
pamphlet form. They have given US
information Of the style OF living in all
foreign countries. with opportunities
for the sale Of American goods. Be-
sides that we have received informa-
ton Of the latest inventions. II Ia to
be hoped that the consular service will
suffer no deterioration.

james G.. Blaine, in his Twenty

fifth congress, in which Mckinley first
sat. as follows: William Mckinley,

He enlisted in an Ohio regiment when
but II years old and won the rank Of
major by meritorious service. The inter-

ablest defenders Of the doctrine Of pro-
lection.

The sentiment which resulted in the
nomination Of Mckinley for governor
II Ohio was engcndcrad Immediately
upon the announcement II the result Of
I the election Of 1890. when after Ii
years continuous service III congress the
Ohio statesman was defeated for re-elec-
tion, despite the fact that he cut down
the Democratic majority from 2, 800 TO
302.
During his gubernatorial campaign in
1898 Mckinley visited So II the ss cOun
ties of Ohio and made l30 speeches. He
was elected by plurality Of 50, 90j, up
10 that time the record plurality in
Ohio's history.
The policy which Governor Mckinley
pursued during his four years Of occu-
pancy Of the gubenatorial chair was
well outlined when in his inaugural ad-
dress he said: 1T is my desire 10 CO.
operate with you i'll every endeavor 10
secure awis,, economical and honorable
administration, and, SO far as can be
done. the improvement and elevation Of
the public service. "
From the day Of his Inauguration
Governor Mckinley took the greatest in
terest in the management Of the public
benevolent institutions Of the state, and
he made "A study Of means for their bet
terment During his first term the state
board Of arbitration was created, and he
made the workings Of the board mat
ter Of personal supervision during the
entire four years Of his administration.
This board has had its services enlisted
in 2s strikes, and in 10 cases its efforts
have been successful.
No account of McKinley's connection
with labor problems would be complete
without some mention Of the tireless'
energy which he displayed i'll securing
relief for the 1000 miners in the Hook
ing valley mining district who early in
1895 were reported out Of work and des
titute. The news first came 10 the gov.
ernor one night at midnight, but before
O'Clock in the morning he had upon
his own responsibility dispatched TO the
afflicted district car containing 81 900
worth Of provisions. Later he made APP
peals for assistance and finally distri-
buted among the 2,132 families in the
district clothing AID provisions TO the
Smount of $32. 796. 90.

Canton, where he formed partnership
with Judge Belden.
He was an excellent advocate, even in
those early years, and made some Of the
best jury arguments ever made at the
Stark county bar. At the time he was
first elected to congress he enjoyed one
Of the leading places and one of the best
general practices in the county.
AS lawyer Mr.. Mckinley was al.

ration Of cases. He had the confidence Of
everybody and soon became particularly

himself by thorough courses II reading

Farming Is depressed. as you say, but
the farmers are as well of "a any busi-
ness men we know of in the city, and
better OIL il they are out of debt. \
farmer who can make living now, and
keeps things even, should not change
his business, ST least until our indus
tries revive. He should 'let well
enough alone" However, il a young
man does not like farming the chances
are that he will make no great success
at il. II he is fretiing and chatting TO
get away To town or the city and en-
gage in other business he had better go.
He may be successful, and at least, may
learn that he made mistake In leaving
the farm and will stay contentedly
when he goes back. We never took
much stock in trying to keep boys on
the farm il their inclinations were all
against farm life.-Ohio Farmer.
