to those for whom he had such a feeling
he was as true as steel.
The Richmond Times, the organ of the
gold Democrats in Virginia, advises the
people of its persuasion to put up no State
ticket. 1t is opposed to fusion with Re.
publicans and Populists. This advice is
in response to letter written by "Gold
Democrat" from Abingdon, Va,
SENATOR PETER has also deserted Mr..
Bryan and his one idea of free silver. In
an interview at Kansas City q few days
ago he said: "Mr. Bryan must change.
Free silver alone will not carry him
through"
We hardly know what advice to give
our Republican voters with regard to what
course to pursue in the approaching elec'
ton. The State Committee has deter
mined that there shall be no convention,
and we suppose the campaign is to one OF
mastery inactivity" Under existing
conditions we are of opinion that will be
best.
WHAT ridiculous attitude isthat of the
average Democrat on the present business
situation. He reaches out his hand and
enjoys the favorable conditions that Re-
publican government is producing, but
cries out "a plague on the party that is
doing it," There are none SO blind as those
who refuse to see.
DOLLAR wheat makes the Democratic
farmer SO happy that be almost forgets to

A POLITICAL DRAMA.

For some days prior to February 18th, it
had generally been conceded by the newspapers
that Gov Bushnell would not appoint Mr..
Mark Hanna to succeed Senator Sherman, of
Ohio, in the United States Senate.
But on that date George B. Cox, the notori-
GUS Cincinnati dive keeper, threw his influence
morning February 19th,) the following special
telegram from Cleveland Hannas home
appeared in The Ohio State Journal of Colum-
bus, the leading Republican daily in the state,
which told the story:
Cleveland O., February 19th.-"Chairman
Hanna was greatly pleased when he heard that
George B. Cox of Cincinnati, had ndorsed his
candidacy for the Senate and would throw his
influence to the election of the national chair
man to the seat to which he aspires. Mr.
Hanna stated that the Endorsement of Mr.. Cox
was entirely unsolicted.' -
The fact that Cox had declared for Hanna
and had demanded Hanna's appointment from
Governor Bushnell was telegra phed all over the
country, and within 48 hours afterward Febru-
ary 21st,) Governor Bushnell furnished the
newspapers with written statement that he
would appoint Mr.. Hanna TO the vacancy. Since
then, Republican newspapers generally state
that Hanna owes his appointment to Cox. Cox
is the political boss Of Cincinnati, Republican
autocrat OF southern Ohio saloon and dive
keeper of a quarter of a century's standing, ex-
proprietor of the "Murderers Corner saloon,
one of the fouest plague-spots in Ohio's biggest
city, and man who at this hour claims the dis
tinction of being the proprietor of more saloons
and bawdy- y-houses than any man in Cincinnati

The Great Money Question.

The cost of liquor consumed by the people of
this country is about twelve hundred millions of
dollars annually, whilst all the silver coined
in the United States is less than half that sum
($46O OOC, ,OOO).
The tariff duties levied by the United States
government in 1895 amounted to about $l52, ,OOO,-
900 per annum on imported goods, valued at
about 1869, 900, 900; showing that the money
wasted on drink is about three times the value
of imported goods and nearly eight times the
value of all tariff duties.

Who Can Answer?

Here's pointed little thing that is going
the round of the temperance press:
First.-This is a soul in hell!
Second-This is the rum that sent the soul

Third.-This is the saloon keeper that sold
the rum that sent the soul to hell!
Fourth.-Ths is the license that permitted
the saloon kepeer to sell the rum that sent the
soul to hell!
Ffth-These are the men (?) that voted
for the license that permitted the saloon keeper
to sell the rum that sent the soul to hell!

Boston, March 19th-A magnificent demon
stration in honor of the 93rd birthday of Neal
Dow, the father of prohibition was given last
night in fremont Temple under the auspices of
the Massachusetts, prohibition state committee.
Upwards of 800 people sat down to banquet on
the occasion, and a much larger audience spent
the evening in listening to addresses. The pro-
ceedings were throughout most enthusiastic in
character.
The big hall had been appropriately decor
ated with flags and bunting and with portraits
of the hero of the occasion and other leaders,
and in front of the platform an inscription
containing the words, ':True to Conviction,
Loyal to Principle, Faithful to Duty"
At the close of the banquet representatives
of the leading temperance and prohibition
organizations of the state addressed the audi
ence.

Dow takes God at his word, and has everlasting

would voice that purpose worthily must deal
with verbs-not adjectives. For this mans life
has been essentially one of action.
We Prohibitionists are reproached by our
critics because we have, they say, no great man
