as that of helpless infant denied its birth.

of mothers neglect their children because
of Ill health. No woman can properly
perform mothers duty who Is constantly
suffering from sickness, whose system Is
debilitated and wrecked by the awful drains
due to the diseases and weaknesses pecu-

from the listlessness, lassitude and despond-
ency due to these troubles is pretty sure to

Republicans Place Themselves In Ques-
tionnble Position.
1.-THE Ohio Democrats reafIlrmed Of
their late state convention al! the wild
vagaries of the Chicago platform and
call special attention to free silver
Gazette.
One Of the "vagarlcs' OF the Chica-
80 platform is "in favor Of the arbitra-
tion of differences between employers
engaged in interstate commerce and
their employees" This year the Re
publican party in It's state platform
declares itself in favor of law for
the adjustment and settlement oi
such differences as may aclSe between
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce and their employees" This
was "vagary" and anarchy last year
and now it is part Of the Republican
platform! Have the Republicans turn
ed anarchists, or did they lie last year
In either case are they not guilty OF
literary theft? But are they sincere
in their present pretenses? Nobody
believes 1t. The state has no authority
to deal with interstate commerce. and
this plank, out of place in state plat
form, is but the homage that Ropub-
lican vice pays to Democratic virtue
AS to the deceptive position of the
Republican party on free silver" we
need but quote its platforms. LII 1888
1t said upon It's national faith and
honor that "the Republican party is
in favor of both gold and silver as
money, and condemns the policy CT
the Democratic administration in its
efforts to denonctize silver" In 1892
the same party said with the same na-
tional faith and honor tta. "the Amer
ican people, from tradition and interest
favor bimetallism, and the Republican
party demands the use of both gold
and silver as standard money" Now
they embrace as a sweet morsel what
they denounced in 1883 and 1892, and
having stepped into the shoes then
despised (?) they hold the gold Dem
ocratlc boilers as their aid society!
President Mckinley said, before he
sold OUT, II have always been In favor
Of the silver product Of the United
States, and have SO voted on at least
two occasions during the time I have
been in public life" He sold those
convictions for the gold In the st.
Louis platform.
John G. Carlisle. as late az 1890
voted TO restore the silver dollar and
make 1t "a legal tender for all debts
public and private" He sold out that
conviction for Office under Plutocrat
Cleveland. Cleveland was very sue
cessful in buying UP silver men. Not
only Carlisle for secretary Of the treas
ury, but Herbert OF Alabama for secre-
tary of the navy; Hoke Smith Of Geor-
gia for secretary CT the interior, and
Mr.. Wilson of West Virginia for post
master general. These all bloomed out
as radical gold men, and the Repuh-
llcan rarty has stepped In, adopted the
system and bought out all the Ropuh-
lioNns that were for sale, and now,
"like the fox who was caught and un-
tailed they try to persuade that the
fashion prevailed"
All this simply proves that the Dem
ocrats have not sold out, while the
Republicans have. Judas, Arnold and
other ncted characters In history did
the same thing, ng,-Mcdlna Sentinel.

the assassination of the Spanish
Prime Minister, that Mr.. Taylor,
our old Spanish Minister, who is
presumed to be better posted on
the condition of affairs than a new
man would be, should continue for
u while to represent the United
States at Madrid. The fact is, the
administration wants to see which
way the Spanish cat is going to
jump before showing its Cuban
policy to the government of Spain.
Boss Hanna's fight for election
to the Senate is being aided by the
administration wherever possible.
Mr.. George p. Hamlet, of Ohio,
who was recently made Chief Of
Post Office Inspectors, was given
that place as a reward for what he
is expected to do for Hanna. There
are nearly 100 postoffice inspectors,
and the chief can order as many of
them into one particular state as
he may be pi eased to have there,
The programe is for Mr.. Hamlet
to keep enough inspectors in Ohio
to see that all the postmasters in
that state given Hanna all the help
they can, and any one of them who
fails to meet expectations in that
line will be likely to find that the
inspectors will discover something
wrong in the way he conducts his
Office. Oh yes, of course, this is a

The Cleveland Press has set the pace
for the Republican manufaoturerE and
other gold standard business men" to
travel in this brief of the situation:
The manufacturers were for new
tariff bill. They will soon have q new
tariff bill.
The people, 1t would seem, have ex-
pressed their confidence In the manu-
facturers' opinion as to what would be
best for the country.
Upon the passage Of the tariff bill
the manufacturers will owe II to the
country and themselves 10 go ahead

There should be the reopening of
shops, the employment OF workmen,
and a general demonstration of conf
dence on the rart Of those in whose

and congress have shown confidence,

Gates proceed ON that line and restore

fail let them confess to the scarcity of

evidence in the hearings in the

shown by that evidence that of the

patents by Wedderburn & Co. dur

1900 have been rejected as con-
tanning nothing patentable, and of
the remainder only few, probab-

The Time Lock on the National Pie
Counter won't "0pen Sessun Fast
Enough" - What the Plain
Dealer Has TO Say Of Our
NeighbOrs.

The Republican national plat
form last year declared that "thc
civil service law was placed on the
statute book by the Republican
party, which has always sustained
it," and added, 1--WE renew oul re-
peated declarations that 1t shall be
thoroughly and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practica-
ble." The Ohio Republican plat
form this year denounced "the vio-
lation of the spirit of the civil serv-
ice act by President Cleveland in
those orders which extended its op-
GRAFTON beyond its purpose and in
tent" and demanded "such revoca-
lion of orders or modification OF
the law as will accomplish its man
fest purpose" Now comes the
Congressional Record Of Aug. H.,
with speech about $4,000 words
long, falsely purporting to have
been delivered in congress by Rep
resentative Charles III. Grosvenor
of Ohio, July 10, in which he de-
nounces the law and the system it
was designed to build up, and de-
inands its radical reconstruction or
abolishment. AS tho speech was
never delivered in congress and ap-
pears for the first time moro than
three weeks after the date of its
pretended delivery, it is evidently
intended for campaign purposes,
and Ohio voters may soon expect
to receive copies for their instruc-
tion.
Gen. Grosvenor is not afraid of
boldly unfolding the old banner
with the inscription "To the victors
belong the spoils." The applicant
for position is not to be eligible
unless he has the approval of the
representative from his district
and is in political sympathy with
the current administration. That
carries with it, of course, the pre-
sumption that the representative is
also of the same politics, otherwise
the appointing power has to be
lodged elsewhere. With the ap-
pointment of his congressman the
will march to an exam
iner who tests his fitness for the
place, but not in competition with
any one else. Then he is to he given
a commission or certificate for
term of years, at the end of which
time the appointing power"-that
is to say, the congressman-can re-
appoint him or put some one else
in his place, the latter being the
in most cases. In short,

Boon Prosperity.


The word has been passed along the
line for Republican papers to boom
prosperity. The nation Is anxious to
greet prosperity face to face, but a
repetition of the false promises Of the
last political campaign can do nobody
any good.
A gold and trust organ Of New York
dished up q story some two weeks ago
alleging that mortgages had been paid
off in Nebraska within the last eight
teen months to the abount OF 100000
600. Every Republican newspaper all
along the line Is now reproducing the
absurd statement, some OF them with
ponderous headlines. But 1t turns out
that not one-twentieth of this sum has
been actually paid in cash Tho large
ply renewals but many Of the mort
cages were paid off by the debtor 8
land being sold on foreclosure to pay
the debt Furthermore, many of these
debtors who have been sold out have
lost all and are still in debt. In many
cases the lenders foreclosed their mort
cages, took the debtors lands, and still
hold from so to rs per cent of the
debts against the people who bor-
rowed.
