Negroes Are Born White

AFreneh physician who has attended
at the birth of many negro babies says
that, as a rule, they are white or nearly
so when born. The air turns them
darker soon. He suggests that by rear
ing negroes in the dark the race could
be made white in a few generations.-

The persistency with which the
Ohio Democrats avoid discussing tar

markable, especially in view of the
fact that they made silver their chief
issue only three months ago.

Here's lesson in advertising from an
exchange. "a newspaper recently
gave notice that in case a buggy whip
was not returned to certain place be-
fore its next issue it would publish the
name Of the party who took it. The
place designated was the back yard of a
certain business place. The next morn
ing after the notice came out-the night
having been very dark-seventeen
whips were picked up in the said back
yard. Yet there are people who do
not believe in advertising"

Madison Democrat: 1t is noticeable
that Mr.. La Toilette makes no per-
sonal attack on any one-least Of all on
Governor Scofeld whom he is charged
with desire to supplant, Or upon SEN
ator Spooner. In fact, Senator Spooner's
choice was as unanimous in his party as
it could be. If Mr.. La Toilette is nom
mated for governor, it will not be per-
sonal reflection on Governor Scofield
but an evidence that the republican
party is doing penance for its sins-its
own SINS, and not the sins of its very
sensible and worthy present governor.
So, if Mr.. La Toilette is elected to the
senate, it will not be reproof to Sena-
tor Spooner, but sort of plea of guilty
to the charge of machine politics gen
orally.
Senator Hanna, Governor Bushnell,
and Senator Foraker spoke together
from one stand in Ohio the other day,
thus giving fresh evidence of the
falsity of the democratic claim of
dissentiOn in republican ranks in that
state. Nothing has been heard of any
similar cooperation on the part of
Mclean, Chapman and Brice, or 9th
ers of the democrats there, and Nc
Lean is paying no attention to any
body but himself, and as he puts up
the money in the campaign, his word
is law. Editor McLean's ambition to
get into the senate is said to be in his
desire to protect his Washington gas
and railroad interests. These are
valued at from three to five million
dollars. The gas companies and street
railways may charge such prices in
Washington as are determined by
congress, and if Mr.. Mclean could
get an eight years seat in the senate
through this years Ohio election, it
would be of great value to him in
protecting his personal interests.

The farmers of the country will
probably be interested in the fact that

importation of manufactures of wool

The secretary of war has issued an
order creating a military reservation in
that part of Alaska lying within radius
of fifty miles of ST. Michaels. The pur-
pose is to confer upon Lieut.. Col Ran

in this section Of the country, both of
which are believed to be jeopardized
by the large number of lawless charac-
tiers gathered near the mouth of the

metal on the plan of the democrats of
1896.

have odd days to be married on, such
as Monday or Saturday, an unheard-

A very pretty fashion is to have
loose punches of the prevailing flower

careless intervals, and the effect is
very striking.
The bride-to-be, or some near
friend if she can't get through with SO
many, writes a note Of thanks for each
gift, the sooner the better, and it is
usual to introduce the groom's name
in some way and write them in the
plural number.
