HANNA ON THE STUMP,
Ahe ohio Senator's Strange tumble of
Words and Sentences.

Senator Hanna made speech in
ONO saturday, at the opening Of the
republican campaign, and if the news
paper reports of it are correct it was
strange tumble of words and ideas
ne declared, amOngEOther things, that
Ihe republican party is responsible
through that measure (the Dingley
iaWl Tor bringing back this prospect
ty."
Then he said he had about made up
MS mind that "the Lord is a republi-
can, and that it is perhaps on this &C
count the Creator has caused short
crops OF wheat in foreign countries.
Ihere you have the average republi-
can idea of the cause of better times
and higher prices. The whole bias
phemeous theory freely interpreted is
that the Lord looked upon the republi-
can party and found it good: that He
then inspired the leaders to frame the
Dlngley law; and that IN order to make
sure OF the result cut off the crops of
wheat in those countries which have
Heretofore competed with the United
States in the worlds markets.
Mr.. Hanna is the first responsible
leader, so far as we know, who has had
the gall to announce that republican
legislation has brought about the re-
turn OF more tOlerable times, and even
he Is inclined to leave a loophole of es-
cape by the suggestion that the Lord
Is republican.

RECKLESS NAT GOODWIN.
An Illustration Of How The Comedian
Has Money to Burn.
From New Yort Journal. ]

From New York Journal.l
A story I have just heard anent
Nat Goodwin is but another in
stance of his reckless generosity
and constant desire to burn money
! upon all possible occasions.
Nat had been in the habit OF
passing part of his time at a Ger.
tain hostelry-that is all the de.
scription necessary of the place
presided over by fat, good
natured German. They had
known each other well and were
on excellent terms. 1t came about
one day, during the broaching of
q bill, that Mr.. Goodwin disputed
an item of $50. In doing so he
was morally certain that the in
debtedness was not his. Mine
host was equally sure on his side
of the contrary. The dispute
waxed hot and heavy.
See here" said Goodwin. II

$50. It's the principle of the
thing, that's all. Just the primer.

the money away or burn it than

Without another word Nat
Goodwin took his check book out
of his pocket, filed out a check
for $40, tore it out, applied 9
lighted match to it, and held il
until twas reduced to ashes.
The German, who had watched
the process with bullying eyes,
banged a rubber stamp on the
disputed bill. scrawled his sigma
ture across it and said with a
sigh:

EDITOR GInrksDurR lELE6hAM.I
We we're talking with q gentle
man from the county a few days
ago who is opposed to the new
bridge /; this party lives across
the creek opposite the Centre
Branch school house in what is
quite little neighborhood of
prosperous farmers. Those who
are familiar with this section
know that the people referred to
above have to ford the creek in
going to and from town. and also
to church. Their children are
often prevented from going to
school when the stream is high.
Somewhere across the creek in
this neighborhood a bridge is
undoubtedly needed. and as citi-
zens of Clarksburg we are dis
posed to be possibly somewhat
more friendly with our country
neighbors than they seem to be
toward US on such matters, and
wish therefore to bring the ques-
ton of erecting this bridge, to
the attention of the county court,
notwithstanding the fact that the
town and other parts of the
county will never have particu-
lar use for such, bridge. Our
motto is that wherever for the
comfort and convenience of the
public a reasonable Improvement
Of any kind is required, then let
it be had without any hoggish or
envious squabble and dissention.
We dare say no one in town
will protest against this bridge
as it will only cost two or three
thousand dollars and this in ad-
dltion to the amount asked of the
county for the new depot bridge
will not exceed fifteen thousand
dollars. 1t does seem very
strange indeed that our county.
long boosted Harrison cannot
erect two bridges needed as much
as these, especially when the
cost is so trivial.
The last Auditors report we
have at hand shows our rate of
county levy to be 33a cents on
the 500 Door in other words the
average county levy of the other
81 counties of the State is 100 per
cent higher than our own and for
several years ours stood lowest

There ought to be some way to
compel the council to repair the
side walk along the East side
of the county court house. OF
course we do not know who is to
blame but when the work could
be done at such little expense
there is no excuse for delay. The
way it looks now would indicate
that the Traders Company, after
paving the whole street could
not arrange to join the town for
a few feet in connecting the pave
ment on the opposite side. 1t re-
minds us very much Of two con-
lrary farmers VINO would not
join line fences but preferred to
maintain a line between their
farms.

An Important Test Of Quality.

The quality of a newspaper,
like that of an individual, is best
determined by its bearing under
circumstances that try its capaci-
ty. The gathering of the news
of the Gr@co-Turkish war is a
case in point. As soon as it be-
came reasonably certain that
there would be fighting 1.-The
Philadelphia Press sent staff
correspondents to the capitals OF
the countries involved. In con.
sequence TIE Press has had every
day prompt, complete and accur-
ate information of every move
on each side eff the conhict. No
other Philadelphia paper has
had this service and DOLLY a few
other papers in the country have
gone to the same trouble and ex-
pense. It is gratifying to note
this new evidence that TIE Press
neglects no opportunity to
strengthen its positioo as Penn,
sylyania's greatest newspaper.

rarely marry for beauty alone.
But the time consumed in per-
sonal decoration would lead one
to suppose this took prominent
part. Too many otherwise sem
sible girls cater to the puerile
fiattery of men whose natures
are as shallow as the rouge which
infatuates them. They are moths
and futter about a light that is
often unnatural and falsely
brilliant.
To teach a girl standardization
by flattery is to crush the finest
instincts of perfect womanhood.
Girls are sensitive to praise. and
unless gifted with powers OF
sound discrimination, are apt to
overrate the advantages OF per.
sonal attractiveness. and devote
more attention to the perfection
Of the outer rather than of the
inner graces.
The admiration of a manly
man, a man of noble mind ard
pure instinct, a man whose hori-
ION is not restricted to the limi.
tations of personal environment,
is the greatest incentive to self
cultivation girl can receive.
The praise of such man is an
inspiration. No conquest is too
great and no task too laborious,
for the admiration is sincere,
and its appreciation is sacred.
Such men and such women are
the balance wheels of the uni
verse. Their lives, thoughts,
hopes and aspirations are as pure
as the rarest crystal, and conse,
quently stronger IN adversely, an
tagonism and misfortune than
the puny good wishes of undls'
ciplined minds.
There is a class of men, how
ever, land they unfortunately
stand higher in social life than
we expect to look for them)'
whose sole aim in conversation
is to turn petty compliments and
foster self-admiration in women.
A well-turned compliment is 9
happy lubricant to a sincere con
versation, but mostconversatiops
are not sincere-not even tolera'
bly sensible. .'Small talk is the
bane of civilization, and if this is
necessary to please women, the
sooner they become emancipated
and assume the dignity which is
their right. the better it will be
for the next generation.
