The military revival of Japan, which
began with the conquest of China,
showed itself in the various ways the
great industries Of the country cele-
brated the heroic incidents and victories
of the war, says Atlantic. The toy
makers sent out legions OF mechanical
toys representing the flight of Chinese
soldiers. the storming of Port Arthur
and the fight OF the japanese flagship
with the enemy's ironclads.
Artists commcmOrated the nations
triumphs in porcelain, metal work and
lacquer ware. Designers portrayed
them on the dresses of men, women
and children. Tobacco pouches, sleeve
buttons, hairpins, combs and even chop
sticks were covered with representa-
tions that expressed the war spirit.
Bundles of toothpicks in tiny cases
were offered for sale, each toothpick
having engraved upon it, in micro
scopic text. different poem about the
war.
Gallant deeds were dramatized. The

the death of the bugler, Shirakami

AT the battle of Song-Hwan this jap

charge. He had sounded it once when
a bullet passed through his lungs,
throwing him down. His comrades
tried to take the bugle away, seeing
his wound was fatal. He wrested it
from them, lifted it again to his lips,
sounded the charge once more with all
his strength and fell back dead.

A new form of swindle has come to
light from the rural districts. A party
of tramps who represent themselves as
linemen in the employ ofsome telephone
company, eat and sleep at the expense
OF the farmers along the route, leaving
them as pay what they claim to be orders
on the company, saying that an agent
will be along in a few days to take them,
but the agent never comes. They have
worked their game successfully in differ
parts of the country.

MEDICAL REFORM IN CHINA.
Signs of n, Great Change i'm the Pres
ent Methods of Treatment.

ent Methods of Treatment.
China has long been the stronghold
OF barbarous and complicated civiliza-
ton. AS an empire she has cultivated
customs permeated iby the most ridicu
lcus superstitions known to mankind,
says the London Medical Press. The
frailty of scientific foundation. in fact,
that lies at the root of their supremely
clever ignorance is especially conspicu-
Gus in the art of medicine. Chinese
practitioners, it is well known, dose
their patients with wasps' nests, ele-
plants skin and every kind of filth and
abomination. But signs are not want
ing that huge wave of reform is about
to sweep over the medical world of
China. In other words, the Chinese are
beginning to recognize the superiority
of western medicine. The process of
adoption is likely, however, to be slow,
although the government has officially
signitied, from time to time, its approval
of the medical practice of the foreign
devils. In China social reforms spread
from the throne downward, so that
there appears some remote prospect OF
the general introduction of scientific
medicine among the population of that
huge empire. If the emperor be really
in earnest, the best plan would be TO
send over a large number of young
Cinnamon TO the medical schools of
Europe.

In his GAINESVILLE speech Senator M. A.
Hanna, who has been most outrageously
and cruelty persued by Allen O. Myers
and the merciless bioodhounds set on
him by John R, Mclean, meets the lies
OF his enemies and utterly refutes them
Among other things, he says:
"They could not attack Mckinley last
fall and as their issue had gone back on
them and because of friendship for Nc.
Kinley and the fact that as chairman of
the national Republican committee, they
chose to turn their batteries on me and
because 1 was an employer of labor to
some extent they sought to make the
country believe what they have been
trying to make the workingmen of Ohio
believe that have been labor crusher.'
l have been an employer OF labor for a
good many years and am today in many
diversified industries and have worked
at my end as hard as my men have at
theirs, for it takes work to find work for
others. And for my success in business
I give as much credit to the men who
have worked for me as 1 take myself.
ut has always been my principle and
practice, whether business was profitable
all the time or not, to keep the men at
work every day possible. know that
am standing in great industrial center
and that many men here to night are
working men and so to you from this
platform wish to say once and for all
that the charges made against me on
this subject are absolutely false, and in
making that statement, offer you a
chance to obtain the proof Go to any
one of the 5000 men in my employ; l
don't care whether he is coal miner or
street railway employe, whether he works
on the docks or in the shipyards,. I am
willing to abide by the verdict of these
men. Ask them whether ever pay less
than the highest going wages ask them
whether l ever ask them whether they
belonged to union or not. l never
did. Ask them whether when any man
or any committee of men came to me
with complaint if ever refused to see
them. 1 never did. Ask them if they
think ever in my life Intentionally
wronged any working man. I never
! did"

Look ut Them |!

Perhaps you don't just know how Ger.
tain Democrats have been making monk.
eys OF themselves for the benefit of the
Negro Protective ticket.
When new party seeks place on
the State ballot, it is required as guar.
antee that there will be enough votes
cast to justify the trouble and expense,
that the party seeking place shall pre-
sent petition signed by at least one per
cent. of the voters of the State. These
signatures are presumably the citizens
who will vote that ticket, Else, the OBJ.
ject of requiring petition is defeated.
Very recently the leading members
of the Democratic organization were en-
gagged with desperate energy in signing
and getting signatures to the petition for
the Negro Protective party. So anxious
are they for it's success that j. B. Wor.
ley commits the unprotessional act of
taking a notarial acknowledgment OF
the petition to which his own name is
attached. M. A. Mosier signs the jurat
for another petition, thus endorsing un.
der oath the statements and purpose
contained therein. If anything farther
was needed to expose the true nature OF
this Democratic trick, surely the follow.
ing would be sufficient:

DEMURRERS


Filed to Suit for Damages for Urbana
IVnching by County Commissioners.
URBANA, o., Oct. 1S.--Ben Church,
half-brother of the late "Click" Mitch
ell, lynched in the Urbana courthouse
yard last June, recently brought suit
against Champaign county for $1,000
damages under the Smith law, giving
the heirs damages for lynching. Satur-
day the county commissioners filed a
demurrer of four points: First, that the
petition does not state or contain facts
sufficient to constitute a cause for
action in favor of the plaintiff; second
that the statute under which the plain
tiff brough suit is repugnant to and in
violation of the constitution of the
state of Ohio, and is, therefore, uncon-
stitutional; third, that said statute is
in violation of the Constitution of the
United States; fourth, because the
court has no jurisdiction

The attempt of the Democrats to
place the colored people in the attitude
of being the only people on the face of
the earth who would organize party
without shadow of principle, with
nothing but the piratical motto of spoils
upon its banner, is an outrage upon
their manhood. The colored people OF
Ohio will resent this insult at the polls
in November.
