Big Sales of Tobacco.

There have been some large
sales of tobacco during the week
passed. Messrs. Geo. E. Wilson
and w. w. Clark sold their en-
tire crop of somewhere in the
neighborhood of IL, 900 pounds at
prices which they are highly
pleased with. They talk about
putting forty acres in for the fall
crop, which is more than doubling
their acreage.
Mr.. B. S. Ashley disposed of
his crop also to the same parties.
MIR. VIM. Lyle sold his crop,
which was estimated at about
four thousand pounds, to the
Vuelta Abajo Company of this
city.
The prices in all these cases are
kept secret, though it is pretty
well understood that they run
from thirty-fve to forty-fve
cents. The fact that the sellers
will plant again and on a much
larger scale, is evidence enough
that they have made money

The old man who looks out at
the world with clear and healthy
eyes cannot help feeling great
qualification at the thought that
his children have inherited from
him no weakness nor tendency to
disease. The healthy old man is
the man who has throughout his
life kept his digestion good and
his blood pure. Not one in a
thousand does do it. Germs go
through the healthy body without
effect. Let them once find lodg-
ment OR let them find a weak
spot, they will develop by the
million and the blood will be full
of them. Instead of giving
strength to the tissues, it will
force upon them innutritious mat
ter, and the man will lose flesh
and the more susceptible he is to
disease. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only
medicine that absolutely and in
fallibly cures all blood diseases,
and almost all diseases are blood
diseases. It isn't a medicine for
some one particular so-called dis
ease. It is medicine for the
whole body. It forces out all the
germs of disease, and replaces
impurities with rich, red blood.

A Foolish Characterization.

1t argues badly for a state of public In
telligence to take either literally or flip
PANTY the story of Jonah. The Rev. Ly-
man Abbott, it is conceivable, hurt the
sensibilities of more than the literalists
when he spoke of the great parable as one
of the "Pickwck Papers of the Bible"
There are no "Pickwick Papers" in the
Bible. There are not many in nature, but
what there are in nature are not in the
Bible, Emerson told great historic truth
when he said;
Out of the heart of Nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible old
The litauies of nations came.
Like volcanoes tongue of flame,
Up. from the burning core below
The canticles of love and woe.
There was no room in the ancient Hebrew
mind for Pickwick. In the presence of the
awful Jehovah all was austere, cruel ami
terrible. Zeus, Jove, even Varuna. We're
gentle myths, merely cloud-compellers or
shepherds of feecy fiocks, as Max Muller
points out, compared with the horrible
conception of the early and servile Semitic
mind-early, that is to say, as we compute
dates.
The legend is in itself Semitic in this
aspect. 1t impresses an awe-inspiring
truth. The Egyptians called it Kismet.
The Greeks, who elaborated the Egyptian
| des put the postulate into the mouths OF
several of their choruses much less grace
| fully than the book of Jonah depicts it
| an1 even in the "Agamemnon' Aeschylus
himself han lily more impressively pro-

THE CASE OF MIR. HANNA.

Republicans of the country will be gen.
orally disgusted 10 learn that Hanna's pros
poets of succeeding Mr.. Sherman in the
senate are not at all promising. There is
no other man in the party so well entitled
to party favor as Mr.. Hanna. To his
mastery generalship is largely due the
splendid victory of last November-one of
the most important victories, not only for
the party, but for the country, in the his
tory of American politics. 1t was sup
posed that he would have 4 place in the
cabinet as one of Mr.. McKinleys advisers,
but when Senator Sherman was selected
for secretary of state the explanation was
made that Mr.. Hanna preferred the sena-
torship, and would be given Sherman's
seat.
But il seems this arrangement was en-
tered into without q definite understanding
with Senator Foraker, and that, conse-
quently, it is likely TO fail. Foraker 1t is
said, fears that if Hanna goes into the sem
ate he will control the federal patronage
for Ohio, and that his own lieutenants and
supporters viii so hungry. 1t happens that
the governor of Ohio is Foraker man,
and will not appoint as Sherman's sue
ccssor anyone TO whom Foraker objects.
d.. This makes Hanna's cake dough. The
cabinet is made up without him, and the
senatorshp is beyond his reach. He could
receive a good foreign appointment, but in

THE HOME RULE ORDINANCE.

The leading provisions of the ordinance
to bring the police department OF hahsas
City under home rule. as reported oy the
judiciary committee of the upper house, are
certainly most commendable. The report
shows two amendments of the original
measure. The first is that the police COM
rnissloners shall be elected in Joint ses-
sion of both branches of the common
council instead of being appointed by the
mayor, subject TO the confirmation OF the
council. The second provides for the
creation of an excise board to be composed
of the mayor. the police judge and the city
auditor.
1t matters comparatively little whether
the commissioners shall be elected by the
council or appointed by the mayor and con-
firmed by the council; but the original pro-
vision that both commissioners shall not
belong to the same political party should
be allowed 10 stand. in order that, as tar
as possible, the department shall be freed
from party dictation.
The creation of an excise board would
seem 10 be wise and safe means TO secure
the best possible regulation of the saloon
privileges and abuses. Under the proposed
ordinance this board would be made up
entirely of elective officers, who would be
responsible to the people for their acts. A
board composed of the mayor, who must
keep generally informed on the citys af-
fairs; the police judge. who should be
posted on the character of applicants for
license and concerning the Fepute of the
saloons in operation; and the city auditor,
who is acquainted with the subject of reve-
nues. ought to be an intelligent body.
The ordinance could hardly have been re-
ported at time when its advantages
would be more apparent to the public. If
there was any doubt as TO the inefficiency
and corruption of partisan police de-
partment, that doubt has certainly been
removed during the last few days of the
senate committees investigation. One
commissioner admitted that he knew of
gambling, but could not explain why 1t
was not suppressed another was surprised
by the testimony relating to gambling. thus
taeitly acknowledging his incompetence;
and the chief of police, who was placed in
