THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The lieutenants of King Hanna in
Ohio are taking every precaution to
prevent the Republican campaign run
ming into the silver issue, because Han
ma, though he may not be gifted with
brilliant intellectuals, is certainly
shrewd, cunning and foxy, and he
knows what would result from head
on collision between his single gold
standard and bimetallism, for there is
not a prominent man in Ohio regardless
of politics who is not on record as a
bold advocate of free silver coinage
and at the head of these silver advo-
Gates who have all turned their coats
to suit the exegencies of the party and
Hanna. stands Mr.. William Mckinley,
himself.
No wonder Foraker and Danford at
Bridgeport the other night steered clear
of the silver issue declaring loftily that
it was dead and gone and not worth
they are politicians enough not to run
onto that snag.
The only difference between the
speeches of Danford and Foraker is
that Foraker employed a trifle more
demagogy and a good deal more cheap
wit than Danford Demagogy is a pref
ty strong term, but it is not strong
enough to characterize the utterances of
these speakers.
Cheek, brass, gall, come nearer to
describing their efforts. The keynote
Of both speeches was the alleged pros
perity we are now supposed to be en-
Toying as the result of the election of
Mr.. Mckinley last fall. Both Danford
and Foraker Dragged about dollar
wheat and the temporary squirt
In prices and business activity resulting
from our great crops and the general
famine broad, as the result of McKin-
ley's election. The mills had been
opened, they said, and wages raised as
the result of Republican success at the
polls last November. And then when a
disghsted workingman in the crowd
asked one of the speakers how about
the Bellaire mill. he responded, "Oh,

ALLISON BEGINS TO SEE

The Chicago Chronicle supported the
gold side in the last campaign, but it
has since the election changed its views
considerably on the coinage question.
1t is the only Democratic morning daily
in Chicago and yields great influence.
It's conversion to bimetallism, therefore,
is an important sign of the times. 1t
calls attention to Senator Allison's
speech in Cleveland last Saturday as
evidence that Mr.. Allison, also, is open
ing his eyes to the true monetary policy
for this country to pursue. In that
speech Senator Allison fatty acknowl-
edged that the fall in the price of silver
was caused by it's demonstration alone.
Senator Allison admits-and it is a
noteworthy admission-that a CONNER
cial ratio approximating 151s to 1 was
maintained steadily before silver was
demonetized, and that the dislocation
of this parity followed only after it's
decentralization in the minis of the
world.
Not long ago, as the Chicago Chroni-
Gle points out, economists Of the Allison
school were asserting most positively
that it was impossible to restore the
old relation between the two metals by
International cooperation because the
dislocation was wholly due to the great
not at all to the closing of minis against
it. But now that we have commits
sion in Europe to promote international
bimetallism and a commission appoint
ed by Republican president it be-
comes necessary for Republican ora
tors to admit that there may be some
potency in government action.
Mr.. Allison still assumes that it is
silver alone that has changed in value.
He assumes that silver has fallen in
value more than one-half and that gold
has not risen at all. But he can well
afford to 60 a step further and admit
that gold has probably risen as much
as silver has fallen; that when gold
debt contracted twenty years ago is
paid now the gold paid is worth very
much more than the gold borrowed.
There is reason enough to believe this
is true. Why did silver fall when minis
were closed against it? Because the
closing of the minis against it dimin-
ished the demand for it. But evidently
it increased the demand for gold as
much as 1t diminished the demand for
silver Then why should it not raise
the value of gold as much as it lowered
the value Of silver?
A comparison of prices, which is the
only way to find out, shows that the
value Of gold has risen largely as a
matter Of fact, for it takes a larger
quantity Of commodities in general to
buy given quantity of gold. Then
Mr.. Allison should admit the fact.
Bimetallists on their part will not hes
itate to admit that as the closing of
minis lowered the value of silver and
raised the value of gold so the reopen
ing Of minis would lower the value of
gold as we'll as raise the value of sill
yer.

THAT WHEELING DELEGATION.

The Intelligencer says at the Foraker
Danford meeting at Bridgeport there
were between 1850 and 5000 people.
The reporters there and others used to
estimating crowds placed the total
number It 1,1G0 at the outside.
The Fourteenth street organ has a
convenient method of estimatin crowds
for publication. 1t takes its honest es-
innate of Republican gathering and
multiplies it by four. If the meeting
is Democratic it divides the number of
people present by four. This serves the
organs purpose better than telling the
truth. 1t spoke also of the large
Wheeling delegation that formed in
line" and marched over. This delega-
ton consisted of band wagon, a
couple of carriages containing speakers
and distinguished guests and dozen
small boys carrying red fire. AS the
distinguished guests and speakers in
the carriages refused to pay toll for
the red fire enthusiasts the latter
turned back at the bridge. And that
was the organs large Wheeling delega-
ton.
Verify, the Intelligencer's reputation
for unreliability, especially in political
matters, is we'll earned.

attribute their failure to the opposition
Of the bankers and the London Times.
This bears out to the letter our pre-
dictions as to the outcome of this mon
etary commission made at the time OF
its appointment. England. whose life
and soul is the gold standard, will new
er consent to any other standard. 1t
would mean that she would have to
play second or third fiddle to Uncle
Sam in the commercial world, and well
she knows it. England is plundering
all the earth with the gold standard.
Tho adoption of bimetallism would
force her to loose her grip, and to that
she will never consent. The only way
to cast off the english shackles is to
force them off by not waiting for Eng
lands consent to bimetallism. And the
only nation so situated as to be able
to do this successfully is the United
States, which furnishes the worlds sill
yer.
Let this nation open its minis to the
free coinage of silver and silver will
that instant jump to par and gold come
down to par at the coinage ratio the
world over. And at that same instant
England's present monetary advantage
as the great creditor nation will be
gone and instead of paying our debts
and interest in 200-cent dollars, we
will pay in 100-cent dollars.

The Government Armor Plate Board

again in a few days. AS the Register
has already pointed out at length, our
business men should keep an eye on
this board, which is looking for site
for government armor plate works,
and not allow it to overlook Wheeling,
than which, with the possible exception
of Pittsburg, there is not a better loca-
ton for such an establishment in the

a PECULIAR REMEDY.


Something About the New Discovery for
Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F.. l. Bell, highly es-
teemed minister residing In Weeds
port, Cayuga county, N. Y, in recent
letter writes as follows. There has
never been anything that have taken
that has relieved the Dyspepsia from
which l have suffered for ten years
except the new remedy called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them
ing and again after long years CAN
Weedsport, N. Y, formerly Italia,
Col.
Staurt's Dyspepsia Tablets is re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of in
digestion, but because it seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases Of
Dyspepsia as we'll as in mild attacks
of Indigestion or biliousness. A per-
son has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overworked, all it wants
is a harmless, vegetable remedy to di-
gest the food and thus give it the
much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Staurt's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. A trial of this splendid
remedy will convince the most skepti-
cal that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets are
prepared by the Staurt Chemical Co.,
of Marshall, Mich, but so popular has
the remedy become that Staurts Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained
at any drug store at so cents per pack
age. Send for book on stomach dis
eases free.

to complete their we'll on the Hayburst
farm.
The Elk Fork Oil and Gas Company
drilled in their No. on the ]. K. Hill
40-acre lease yesterday, and they will
have well good for not less than 20
barrels an hour. The we'll is located in
the southwest extension of the field and
will open up large amount of new
stuff.
There was no change in the market
to-day and the producers seem to be
little surprised, as they expected that
as the market had gotten on the tObog-
gan again, it would not stop until it
got to so cents.
The Hill Oil Companys we'll on the
J. K. Hill farm. which should have been
in, will probably not be in until some
time to-day.
There will be a number of new wells
started now in the vicinity of the well
I drilled FIJI by the Elk Fork Oil and Gas
Company, as number of those who
have territory in that section have been
waiting for it to come in before they
would commence operations.
The Hill Oil Co.'S No. 2 on the ]. K. Hill
farm at Elk Fork has been drilled in, and
is showing up for about Is barrels an
hour. 1t is located but a short distance
from the No. 1 on this farm and 1t will
open up that territory. Their No. l is
holding up nicely at 375 barrels a day.
Their No. 5 is drilling at a little better
than 1000 feet, and No. ) started spud
ding yesterday. No. is located and the
rig almost completed, while Nos. 6, 1 and
have been located and the rigs will be
started for them at once.
The outlook in the southwest extension
of the Elk Fork field is better now than
for some time, and it is believed that the
wells mentioned above will be the natural
outlet Of the field. The Elk Fork Oil &
Gas Co. have drilled in their No. l on
the j. X Hill 49-acre lease and will have
a producer good for about 200 barrels.
This well is located little to the north
of those mentioned above. 1t will be
shot to-day and it is believed the shot Will
increase its production.
Boyer & Caldwell have drilled in their
No. / on the Hawkins to the north of the
original Elk Fork pool. and have a dry
hole.
The Padens Valley Oil Co.'S well on the
Pollock farm is still attracting some at
tention. but it does not amount to a
great deal When the well was drilled in
it showed for a small producer and filed
up with OIL The oil is still showing and
this has caused some of the people living
in that vicinity to think there is some
thing there that has not yet come TO the
front.
The South Penn Oil Co. have shot their
we'll on the Meredith form near Centre
VILE and have increased its production
from 10 barrels an hour to %. The Victor
Oil Co. have a lease near the Meredith

Mon aghan says one of tle frncipal novel, ties of the adopted system is thar no poles are used. The method of swing ing wires is by means of ornamental rosettes fastened into the woodwork or walls of houses, having projecting hooks t0 which the wires are attached. These hooks are firmly fastened and are tested with seven times the weight they will be called upon to bear. Owners of houses, without exception, preferred to allow the use of their houses free rather than have poles on the sidewalk. The streets through which the cars wind their way are wider than Washington street, Boston, or Westminster street, Providence. The railway tracks, in conformity to the law, are level with the pavement, and accidents to vehicles of any kind are rare. The gauge is narrower than in America, but the cars keep the track and run as rapidly and as smoothly as in the United States. In the heart of the city they run 220 yards per minute, and in the suburbs 330 yards per minute.
 The increase of traffic since the intro duction of electricity in Chemnitz has been 60 per cent The cars have no con- ductors. The motorman is the only person on board who represents the company. By doing away with conduc- tors the company saves 44,0oo marks an- nually. The fare is only 10 pfennigs. or a trifle less than 21s cents, on all routes, including transfers. Should 150,G00 persons evade payment in 12 months the loss would be only 15,oo0 marks. It would take 45o.0o0 evasions in fare to offset the company's savings by dispens- ing with conductors salaries. Among a people who pay for food and drink in restaurants, saloons and gardens on their honor alone it is unlikely the com pany loses much. Culprits in this re- spect, when detected, are punished by having their names advertised in the newspapers as warning to others. Fare boxes are attached to both ends of the car, so there is no such excuse as difficulty in getting forward "-Scien- tific American.

Remedies That May Be Always Kept

For cramps or pains in the stomach try few drops of essence of comphor.
 For a nervous headache a cup of moderately strong tea in which two or three slices of lemon have been in- fused.
 For tired feet put a handful of com mon salt into four quarts of hot water. Place the feet in the water while 1t is hot as 1t can be borne. Then rub the feet dry with rough towel.
 For making a clear complexion stir two teaspoonfuls of flowers of sulphur into half pint of new milk. Let 1t stand a while, and then rub the face over with it a short time before wash Ing.
 For binding up cuts and wounds al- ways use linen, not cotton, as the fbers of cotton are flat and apt to irritate q sore place, while those of linen are per fectly rounded.
 For badness try the following tonic: Liquid ammonia. almond oil and chlorofor1n, each one part; alcohol. five parts; oi. of lemons, one dram. Ap- ply freely and often. first thoroughly brushing the hair This is mild stimuiant and perfectly safe.
 For nail-cleaning liquid use the following lotion: Tartaric acid. one 1ram; tincture of myrrh, one dram; eau de Cologne, two drams; distilled wa ter, three ounces.
