Mr.. HASTINGS FOR POSTMASTER.

1t Is reported on the streets that Mr..
Washington Hastings has thsoffice hold
ing bee buzzing in his bonnet. His am
bition at one time was to be member of
Congress, but he was unable to make
it falling a few votes short of a majority
to elect. He has been one of the biggest
kind of kickers and has been a disturbing
factor in the Republican party. He is
never happy only when he has the party
in hot water or is writing articles for the
Press at which he is an adept. The latest
piece of gossip on the street is that Mr.
Hastings would like to succeed Colonel
Enoch Moore as postmaster. He thinks
the salary Of $500 year and the job
would just suit him. That he has earned
the position by his work in the late cam
paign> when the Republicans after the
vote was counted were found not to be in
it. How would Postmaster Hastings
sound anyhow

WILL FIELO RETIRED

1t Is again reported that Stephen
J. Field, an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court is talking Of retiring
from the bench, and that the date OF
his retirement has been fixed for the
first Of July. Field Is 81 years Of age
and has been very much Of an invalid
for several years past. During that
time, he has not been able to give
much attention to the duties OF lis
Office. However, for man on the
shady side OF four-score years, he
shows remarkable vitality that seems
to be as shrewd. and crafty as he. was
when lincoln presented him with
his commission in 1863, thirty-four
years ago. At the time Of his AZ.
pointment Field was a resident Of
California and his appointment is
credited to this State.
when Joseph McKenna gave up a
life time position as Judge Of the Cir
cult Court to accept d Cabinet posi-
ton, it was said that there was tacit
understanding between himself and
President Mckinley that he was to
succeed Justice Field on the Supreme
bench. That rumor is now revived,
when the announcement is made that
Field intends to lay aside the judicial
toga. .u,s .... ..- ..,
While Judge Field has some warm
friends he has many bitter enemies,
and many of his official acts have
been severely criticised and condemn
ed by many of his coun:rymsn. Que
Of his most implacable enemies was
the late Judge David s. Terry, of
Stockton, and the nl-feellng existing
between the two led to the tragedy in
the Lathrop eating house, which cost
Terry his life. He was shot down
like dog by the gunrfghter, David
Neagle, who was acting in Il the
capacity Of bodyguard for Judge
Field. q. : ....,, a.. =, -.
During Grover Cleveland's Admin
istration it was. asserted that Field
made a propagation to resign. provid-
ing he be allowed to name his sue
cessor. The President refused to dis
cuss the proposition, the matter end
ed there, and he is still on the bench.
He apparently did not look on Office
as q public trust, but rather as @pri-
vate snap" Isl. IT,, a,r, ~. ...-.
The question should be at the pres
emit time, however, notvwhen Field
shonld be permitted to retire; but if
he should not be forced to retire.. His
deplorable intellectual condition is a
disgrace to the bench.-Sacrsmento

that revenue is necessity, and in order

tional tax of A cents a barrel on beer,
This is addition to taxing imported wool
and hides.
Republican papers are scolding terri
bly, at the importers Of foreign wool
ransacking the world for wool which
they expect to get into the country be.
fore the Dingley bill becomes law.
They say the importations of clothing
wool in March, 1894, the last March un.
der the Mckinley law, amounted to
only 924, ,5l2 pounds. Those in March,
1895, under the Wilson law, amounted
to 1879 ,4O5, and those in March, 1897,
3s,5S5, ,455.
In 1894 wooden manufacturers expect
ed soon to get free wool and we're wait
ing. This year they are improving their
opportunity while wool is free. The
wool production in the United States is
only little over one-third of what is
required. 1t would take ll0,0O0,000 Of
sheep to furnish full supply, and in
the whole country are only some 3s, ,OOO,.
900. Facts are stubborn things.

Mr.. Wanamaker, the great merchant
Of Philadelphia, and postmaster general
under President Harrison, has had his
say as to the failure of pledges Of boom
ing prosperity in his speech the other
day. He spoke right out and it is the
growing discomfort. Here are few Of
his plain words:
"The country is not prosperous. Since
the outset of the last presidential cam
paign the party, press and political lead.
ers, generally, fixed the November elec-
ton of 1896 as the date of the beginning
of good times. A full half of the year
has expired since the will of the Republi-
can party was declared. Thus far but
one Of the important Issues of the cam
paign is nearing settlement, and hardly
any noticeable improvement of the
wretched times is manifest. The tide will
soon set in strongly against the Republi-
can party unless the depression of bust
ness is altered. Idleness and want breed
bitter discomfort, which will never be
overcome until there are ample employ
ments. 1t is terrible thing to observe
public sentiment adrift and unexplained
and the people sweeping away from
their affection to the old party.

BUSINESS FAILURES.

Who would not rejoice to see general
revival of business in Canton and else.
where2 But there is no use in claiming
what does not exist. The average num-
ber of failures in business continues, and
this is reported weekly. Many of
the manufacturing establishments in
Canton find business worse than year
ago. This does not seem to be jubilee
year for the United States, though in
Great Britain it is being celebrated as a
diamond jubilee.
To improve affairs retrenchment in
appropriations is requisite; but there is
no promise or talk in that direction. An
extra session for tarih.ripping purposes
gives no promise Of retrenchment, and
the Dingley bill, as it passed the House,
was not in the line Of reform. The last
Republican, Reed. Congress made no pre-
tense OF favoring reform.
1t is interesting to perceive that Re-
publicans in Congress do not agree as
yet on this tarif-ripping business. The
Senate subcommittee realize the fact

THAT PROMISED PROSPERITY.

The Chicago Times-Herald, a close
organ of the administration, advises
patience to the deluded people who
voted for the "advance agent" The
New York Evening Post, &" also a sup
porter of McKinley's election, remarks
in matter-of fact way that anything
like the general prosperity which the
election of Mckinley was guaranteed to
bring is now seen to be impossible"
This must be anything but comfort
ing to those votes who were deceived
and deluded. The Times-H Herald is
troubled over heavy imports that glurt
the markets and prevent good times.
The Chicago organ says nothing about
our enormous exports. For example:
In March the total value of the imports
was SO, ,844 900, but the value of our ex.
ports during the same month vas $685.
AL 900, and of this amount $25, 5,S74 900
were exports of American manufactures.
This should satisfy surely reasonable
individual, but the Times. Herald don't
mention it but speaks OF "the unreason.
ableness Of expecting a speedy revival
of Mckinley times" by which is sup.
posed to be meant times of unbounded
prosperity.
1t is quite natural and certainly pro.
per for manufacturers to stock up be.
fore the Dingley monstrosity shall be
saddled on the country and compel them
to pay higher rates. The talk of these
organs now in excusing the continuance
of hard times is really a confession that
their campaign promises, and pledges
were humbugs and made to deceive. The
promises of the Republican party are
discredited and dishonored. Promise
is one thing but performance quite
another.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

1t seems at the meeting of the Re.
publican State committee of Ohio, when
their State convention was fixed at
Toledo, June % and 23d, there was con.
siderable discussion and plain talk. For
example, according to the Enquirer,
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, in his speech
inviting the convention to his city,
argued that there we're less unfavorable
conditions in Toledo than elsewhere.
He said the country was in unparalleled
depression, with anything but bright
prospects ahead; that the Republican
party had promised better conditions,
but the promises had not been fulfilled
and that if it failed to fulfill them speed
lily it would be retired from power, and
would deserve to be.
Even General Grosvenor, in speaking
for an early convention, said: Nothing
but immediate and thorough organiza.
ton will save the administration from
an overwhelming defeat here in Ohio,
which is something too terrible to con-
template"
Mr.. Rose, of the fifteenth district, next
pumped in some "executive session"
business in open meeting: "Why
should we want an early convention"
he asked. "What will we meet in con.
vention for? Have we any report to
make to the people2 What can we say
to them? Nothing. We made no end
of promises to the people last year. Has
one of them been fulfilled? Not so far
as reported. We had better wait till
some of them are performed before we
again appeal to the people, Why meet
and resolve that we are Republicans and
make more promises, with those of last
year unfulflled? If you think that is
going to satisfy the people you are mis-
TAKEN"
Said Mr.. Weirick, of the eighteenth
district: "There is no Disgusting the
fact that the tide Of public feeling is
against US, and is growing constantly,
We must organize at once and put
stop to it."
Mr.. DIR, of Cincinnati, referred to
troubles and several others reported that

tiles. DR.. Earhart, Of the sixth district,
put cracker on the debate by remark
ing: "Don't promise us tariff and good
times again in advance. Let the conven.
ton await their arrival, and then it can
say something"
These significant observations carry
their own comment with them. 1t is
honest to have it "thus set down" The
of these incontinent de.
iveries in the Republican press, how
aver, does not indicate that they will be
1sed as "key notes" in the speech Of
Grosvenor as temporary
chairman Of the convention.

the trouble, or knowing it, are careless

The feilure of salves and ointments to

Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful and at this time are no longer

Everything for the cause" is a good
motto these days. The general good is
individual good. The country requires
justice and economy in public affairs,
local and general. Hence the necessity
Of union of all who oppose the selfish
rule of grab and greed. When baG men
combine good citizens should associate.
At such a time it is not so much a ques-
ton whom we shall nominate as whom
can we elect. Mr.. Jefferson's test it is
proper to bear in mind: "Is he honest;
is he capable; is he faithful to the con-
stitution?" In political as in other
affairs, it is not best to be too imperious.
1t is ever virtue to regard the right of
others and to be considerate. We must
learn to give and take in working with
our fellowmen, and in our country this
is all important. Falstaff says, "discre-
ton is the better part of valor," and
discretion in all human affairs, including
the political, is highly necessary.
