Oh, there amt no signal service
That is any better sign
or when the weather will be gloomy
Or the sun agoin' to shine,
Or when 1t will turn colder.
Or when it's goin' to rain
AS when your legs are achin'
With an old rheumatic pain.
There is a time n feller wishes
That he never had been born,
When his knees are soaken muddy
Gettin' down to shuck the corn,
And his bones they set to achin'-
Till he hardly can refrain
From asayin something naughty
When he knows it's goin' to rain.
Oh. there amt no use thinkin
OF the cattle in the shed,
Or the horses IN the stable;
An the hogs that amt been fed
When fellers backs hurtin
An his legs refuse'to walk
Then there amt no use othinkin'
OF a'tendin to the stock
When the chickens oil their feathers
And the sun is settin' red.
An the rooster hoop-de-doodles,
After fiyin up to bed,
| Then their amt no use o'thinkin'
or endurin' all the pain,
When the rheumatism'S hurtln
| An you know it's goin' TO rain.
No sweeter time OF year to live,
SO Whitcombe Riley thought,
Than when the frost was on the pumpkins,
| And the fodders in the shock;
| II he'd a. had rheumatics,
He'd have changed the time, Ween,'
| To when the tater bugs are feastin
On the farmers paris green.
Then the days are nice and balmy ,
| And the weather warm and dry
| And the bees are oa the clover
| And the blossoms on the rye.
| Oh. give to me the June-time.
With the happy, rosy morn,
| When the bug Is on the taters
And the dew Is on the corn.

CHAS. G. DAWES
Gets Credit for Large Share of the
Glory in Handling Illinois for
Mckinley

Mckinley.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer of Monday has to say as fol-
lows, concerning Marietta boy. Our
people will be interested and pleased
to read of the success of one of her
young sons.
CANTON, OHIO, June 2S.-One of the
most notable guests Major Mckinley
has had since the nomination, is Mr..
Dawes, of Evanston. Scarce 80 years
old, and of youthful appearance for his
age, this Illinois man has made for
tune of several millions and placed
himself in the front rank Of national
politics. 1t is just now disclosed that
the whole Mckinley movement in Hi
nois has been under his supervision
Marietta. Ohio.
His father was one of the most wide
ly known of Ohio's Brigadier Generals
in the War of the Rebellion. The Gen
eral distinguished himself at Gettys-
burg and on several other important
battlefields. Several times he has been
an unsuccessful aspirant for the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination.
THE YOUNGER DAWES
was educated as an attorney, but found
other channels more profitable. Going
to Nebraska when scarcely of age, he
engaged in the meat packing business
&c 81 1n,r Nd
soon made fortune. He erected
business block at Omaha, and has other
interests there now. He made study
of Illuminating gas, and is now largely
interested in plants of the kind at
Chicago, Evanston, several points in
Wisconsin and at Akron, Ohio.
His father was an early friend of Nc
Kinley, and through their associations
young Dawes became intimately ac-
quainted with the Major He attached
himself more than year ago to the
movement for McKinley's nomination,
and the management of the fight in
Illinois was intrusted to him. He Ike pit
SO well in the background that few
knew he had anything to do with the
candidacy of the Little Napoleon"
Even Senator Cullom, the Illinois
candidate for the Presidency, did not
know what was going on. Dawes con-
Quoted
A M'KINLEY BUREAU
In Chicago with clerical force Of 90
persons, month after month, without
the friends of Cullom discovering his
operations. In whatever reward Nc
Kinley may have in the future to be-
stow upon Illinois Dawes will receive
the preference He already is slated for
The Illinois member of the National
Advisory Committee. 1t is said by
those in position to know, however,
that the young man is not playing for
an appointment in the event Of Nc
Kinley being elected. He is so devoted
to his business interests that he wants
nothing more than some recognition in
the management of the campaign.
The position now occupied by Editor
H. H. Kohlsaat. the Chicago friend of
Major Mckinley, is giving the friends
of the Major no little uneasiness.
Kohlsaat's refusal to support Tanner,
the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date, places Mckinley in an embarrass-
ing position. Dawes, hewever, is an
active Tanner man, and this makes
him of additional value to the McKin-
ley managers under the circumstances.

The speeches of John G. Sheehan and

endorsement of Bryan and Sewall carries
with it the platform, because they are a
platform in themselves. Bryan is as In.
separable from the cause as was Lincoln
from anti-slavery. Those who will vote for
him know that he will go into Office de.

The election in Alabama on Monday last
resulted in Democratic victory, the ma
jority being about 10000. The election OF
a Democratic Legislature in that State does
not by any means insure the re election of
Hon. James l.. Pugh to the United States
Senate. He is opposed by Governor Oates,
one of the strongest men in the State and
one OF the most popular personally, and by
Gen. E. w. Pettus, a man of marked ability.
Governor Oates, in the present condition of
politics, will be weakened before the Legis.
lature by the TACT that he has been an oppo-
nent of the free coinage of silver, though he
has accepted the Chicago platform and is
giving Bryan and Sewall hearty support
General Pettus, on the contrary, has been an
earnest free.silver man. He wrote the State
platform and was chairman of the Alabama
delegation at the Chicago convention. He
is one of the best. known men in the State.

In Maryland just now crimes seem to
come like trouble, not single spies, but in
battalions. From all portions of the State
reports of homicides, suicides and other
serious offenses have come In quick success
sion, and the monotony of the recitation has
been broken by two lYnchings. There seems
to be no lack of vigilance and activity upon
the part of the officers of the law, and why
there should be this sudden outbreak in
Maryland, one of the most orderly and law
abiding States Of the Union, no one can tell,
1t is to be hoped that it is only transitory
"crime wave" so to speak, passing over the
State, or rather that it has passed and we
shall now have an end of it.

THE GREAT RAILROAD DISASTER.

THE GREA T RAILROAD DISASTER
The comparative safety with which the
great passenger traffic of the country is con-
Quoted renders the shock all the greater
which people have received from the disas.
ter at Atlantic City on Thursday evening of
last week. In 1898 accidents were common
on the Worlds Fair trains, but the traffic
was exceptionally large and the confusion
considerable Since that time traffic has
been measurably safe. The great trunk
lines have had few disasters The block
system has been brought almost to perfec.
ton, insuring safety to all trains that follow
its signals.
But the block system is directed by human
hands, and 80 long as man is liable to err,
so long will there be some degree of inse-
curity.
There is some difficulty in determining
who is responsible for the Atlantic City dis
aster. Engineer Greiner, of the Bridgeton
excursion train, says that when he ap-
preached the fatal crossing he looked up at
the tower and saw that he had clear track
Accordingly he proceeded on his way, being
justified in doing so, and he says also that
the signals were interchangeable, and the
fact that the white was against him would
throw the red against the Reading express
This explanation tends to clear Greiner,
although even when an engineer follows a
signal he is likewise expected to be on the
lookout for every kind of emergency, so as
to forestail it if possible.
The case against the dead engineer of the
Reading express is strong, but not quite
clear. John Peters, a passenger on the West
Jersey train, says: "The trains were cross
ing the Meadows at a terrific rate, and it
seemed to me as If one was racing to catch
a switch before the other. So far as can
see the red light on the signal tower was up,
blocking the Reading train and giving the
right of way to the West Jersey train.
The block signal man has so far made no
explanation on this important point. Until
he does so some doubt will be felt as to his
liability. But the circumstance that the
white signal was all right seems to vindicate
him.
Public sympathy will go out for the homes
that are rendered desolate, and for the
MANNED victims of this disaster 1t is sad
that this summer, which was passing away
with so much peace and comfort, should
now be associated with such dreadful ca
lamity.

Some Mckinley Republicans are raising
their hands in holy horror at the mild refer
ence to the United States Supreme Court in
the Chicago platform. These persons should
recall the anger with which the Abolitionists
denounced the Supreme Court for its de-
cision in the bred Scott case. The Supreme
Court is not infallible, and is fair subject
for criticism.
