The Tariff Bill too Scientific.

w. e. Curtis, writing from Wash
ington to the Chicago Record,
quotes Mr.. Kenneth Barnhart OF
Marshall, Field & Co., Chicago, as
saying: ~ have no objection to
stating, from the standpoint of my
own personal experiences In GUS
tom matters, that the bill is entire
ly too scientific for practical appli-
cation. The divisions for classifi-
cation and the provlsos are so num-
erous that a Philadelphia lawyer
will be necessary adjunct to every
importing establishment. This is
apart from the rates themselves,
which are in almost every instance
as high or higher than contained
in the Mckinley bill of 1890. For
example, on woven linens it pro-
vides n rate of 8 cents per pound
on all counting less Than fifty
threads per square inch, 8 cents per
pound on all counting over fifty
and under 100 threads, and 30 per

The Rush for Office.

If there be one thing on earth
that President Mckinley should
be thankful for it is that his prede-
cessor established the civil service
rules. If it had not been done the
storm of officeholders in Washing
ton would have devoured the pres
ident, his cabinet and congress like
an army of locusts. The pressure
is almost unbearable even now.
The president has hardly time to
prepare his message to congress.
Every congressman, senator ard
cabinet officer has political debts
to pay, but the chances are very
few at present. Every door in the
White House that leads into the
presencs of the president is besieg-
ed. Worse than the rush in game
of football is the attack upon the
presidents privacy.
They are hungry crowd, these
Republican politicians, about this
time. They have been out in the
cold for four years; ;they want to ge;
in and warm their toes on the pub
lie hearth. The Ohio man has the
inside track. He thinks that he is
one of the elect, with spe cial rights
to the presence of the president; if
anyone thinks he cannot furnish
applicants enough to go ro1nd and
fill all the offices, he is not acquaint-
ed with Ohio politicians. The only
way known on earth and among
men to give good service to the
country and to enable the president
and his cabinet officers 10 perform
their duties efficiently is to have "A
thorough enforcement OF the civil
service rules. What arrant non
sense it is to change all the clerks
in the department every four years
10 give place to political heelers,
simply to satisfy politicians,-Plain
Dealer.

A Trying Ordeal.

1t was after the card party and
the men were grouped around in
the coat room putting away at the
hosts cigars.

with a heavy sigh; 81 had my pict.

he seemed to bear up nobly under
the unexpected honor. Now l
want to tell you just how it worked
on me. 1t may be an old story to
you, but to me, you see, 1t had all
the charm of an exciting novelty.
"The patient photographer posed
me in chair directly In front of a
screen with hinge in its back
Then he made me sit up so rigidly

notwithstanding the face, and he
said he would. There he added,

BATTLE ROYAL
Did the Repubs Have For
Central Committeeman.
yickers Moved EN- Down to the Tune
of Eighteen Out Of Twenty Four.

On Saturday last the Rspubli-
cans had their usual round of Cen
trail Committee contest, but this
time it took a peculiar phase.
1t will be remembered that three
years ago we chronicled the down
fall of +. S. Pursell in committee
supremacy at the hands OF l.. d.
Vickers, who championed the
cause of Mckay and his paper
Victory perched d'upon the Vickers
Mckay banner and the former
gentleman fought on, true to his
trust, but Mckay ultimately "fell
among thieves" and dumped his
Mark Hanna Vickers at the battle
of Marietta. Hence forth the spir-
it of Vickers has been manifest,
viz: True to each other, but once
false-done.
The administration changes and
spoils are at hand. Instead of Nc
Kay having his once Stone Wall
jackson on his staff, the said "gen-
eralp is his bitter foe. Mckay ap.
plies for the post-ofllce but soon
finds Vickers his strongest orposi-
ton. The former seeks endorse
ments from our citizens, the latter
gets as many; the former digs up
the rural signitures, the latter gets
the most; then it is made matter
of choice for Central Committee,
Mckay in confidence. The battle
comes and Vickers carries away
eighteen out of twenty-four who
will endorse him. What next will
Mckay appeal to, we know not.
He dumped his friends, feasted
with the enemy, and in turn has
been dumped. He has taken up
the old Pursell standard, and hoped
to bear it along, but goes down in
awful defeat. Pursell, no doubt
from his lofty position smiles at
the near future when he will be
called back to muster the scattered
ranks. Without the endorsement
Of the chairman of central and eX-
ecutive committee, Mckay cannot
hope for any spoils, and he is as far
from such endorsement as ourself
Vickers will get the post-office or
it will drcp to third person, you
may paste that in your hat.
The fight throughout the county
was bitter to the end, with each
faction well defined and organized.
The question was, "VickerS or Nc
Kay" and the result is indisputable.
Grosvenor will know who is vastly
in the supremacy and govern his
appointments according.

cent, ad valorem on all counting
over 100 threads per square inch,
expecting shirting linens. The
rate under both the Mckinley and
the Wilson!bills on such goods was
35 per cent ad valorem. On cotton
cloths the rates, which have always
been too numerous, have been add
ed to and increased; on cotton en-
broideries, edgings, inserting and
fouDcings we recommend COM
pound rate which has been adopt
ed, but partly destroyed by pro-
viSo. Our recommendations on
leather gloves have not been fol-
lowed as we expected and were
given to understand they would be.
Smaschen and lambskin gloves
have been increased % cents per
dozen over our figures and 80 cents
per dozen extra has been added for
pique sewing and 80 cents more for
embroidery. The rates on all tex
tiles are nearly prohibitory, partic-
ularly on manufactured woolens.
and in my opinion will have to be
greatly reduced before the bill can
pass the senate."

Common Occurrence.

PORTSMOUTH, O., MCH. 0.-Mrs.
Sarah McCandless was to-day SEN
fenced to one year and six months
in the penitentiary as accessory to
crime in which j. Ed ward Kelly,
a bicycle salesman of Piqua, Ohio,
was the principal. Early in Janu-
ary he met Miss Lille Myers, a
girl of II, on the street here by ap-
pointment and went with her to
Mrs. McCandless's house. They
were followed by the girls father
and Kelly was arrested. Mrs. Nc
Gamblers was arrested and tried for
permitting such enticlng. Kelly's
case was continued because of the
absence of material witnesses. The
Public Prosecutor admitted all that
these witnesses would swear TO in
the trial of Mrs. McCandless and
proceeded with the trial, with the
above result.
Gases under this statute are very
rare, and travelling men all over
the state have exhibited consider
able interest in Kelly's trouble. A
purse Of $500 has been raised for
bond and to carry his case through
Common Pleas and Circuit Courts.

1t Don't Take Money
To Run Newspaper, Says the Editor
of The Saguache Herald.

ut doesn't take money to run 8
newspaper; it can be run without
money. 1t is q charitable institu.
tion, a begging concern, a highway
robber, B'Godfrey. The newspaper
is the child of the air, a creature OF
dream. 1t can go on and on and
on, when any other concern would
be in the hands of a receiver and
wound up with cobwebs in the
window. 1t takes gall to run a
newspaper. 1t takes scintilatiop,
acsobatic imagination, and a half
dozen white shirts, and railroad
pass to run a newspaper. But
money-Heavens to Betsy and six
hands round, whoever needed
money in conducting newspaper ?
"Kind words are the medium of
exchange that do the business for
the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an
editor with money watch him.
He'll be paying bills and disgrace
ing his profession. Never give
money to an editor. Make him
trade it out. He likes to swap.
"Then when you die, aftei having
stood around for years and sneered
at the editor and his little Jim crow
paper, be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by
one Of your weeping children, and
when she reads the generous and
touching notice about you, fore.
warn her to neglect to send fifteen
cents 10 the editor. 1t would over
whelm him.
"Money is a oorrupting thing.
The editor knows it, and what he
wants is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers
and then they can thank their
grocers. Take your job work to
the job Office and then come and
ask for half rates for church notices.
"The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors.
Don't worry about the editor. He
has charter from the state to act
as a doormat for the community.
He'll get the paper out somehow,
and stand up for you when you run
for Office, and lie about tyour daugh-
ter's wedding, and blow about your
sons when they get a S4 per week
job, and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from your
grasping body, and smile at your
giddy wife's second marriage. He'll
get along. The Lord alone knows
how-but the editor will get there
somehow."-Heaildt

Silver Ticket
In Result of n Fusion in Ward TOwE-
ship.-lt viii be Elected.

CARBON HILL, O, March 16, 1897.
Editor of Ohio Democrat, Logan,
O.--The Populists and Democrats
met in Convention at Longstreth
Saturday March 18th for the pur-
pose of fusing and putting out a
good ticket. Mr.. S. ID. Hannah of
Sand Run was chosen chairman of
the meeting and j. p. Nunnemaker
of Murray City Secretary, After the
chairman had opened the meeting
with some few remarks Mr.. G. a.
Chatleld of Murray City arose and
stated that he believed owing to
some feelings ofdissatisfaction that
the Populists should occupy one
side of the house and the Democrats
the other and that each should
make their own nomination. This
suggestion was adopted, the Demo
Gratis chose for their chairman Mr..
E. Minner Of Carbon Hill and the
populists chose George Jacoby of
Sand Run, our elected County Com
missioner. a few moments later
committees representing each
party met and decided which oflic-
es each should take. The Popu.
lists were given n Trustee, Con-
stable and one Assessor and the
Democrats Treasurer and one AS
SCISSOR. The Populists, Noal Powell
for Trustee Of Blatchford, John
Dolan Of Murray City Constable,
1Ssac Newton of ,Longstreth for
Assessor; the Democrats nominat-
ed d. M. Soliday of Carbon Hill for
Treasurer and j. p. Nunnemaker
of Murray City for Assessor. Ac.
cording to Mr.. Chatiield's original
suggestion the two parties met
again in joint convention and in
dorsed each others candidates. The
question as to what ticket should
be used came before the convention.
After some discussion it was decid-
ed to call the party the Independent
Silver Ticket. 1t is said to have
been the largest convention ever
held in the township. The repub-
licans felt very sick over the re-
suit, and the Democrats and Popu.
lists left the Hall laughing and
for joy. No look of disatis-
faction was seen upon the brow Of
any one. The republicans have al
ready conceded the Township to
the Silver ticket by a handsome
majority,

go across the street to borrow two

And he will go swimming all day
and stay in the water three hours
at time, and dive and the next
morning he will fell that the un-
measured insult has been offered
him when he is told by his mother
to wash his face carefully, so as not
to leave the score of the ebb and
flow so plain to be seen on his gils.
And he will wander about the bed
of dry creek all the afternoon
piling up pebble fort and nearly
die off when his big sister wants
him to pick up a basket Of chips
for the parlor stove. And he will
spend the biggest part of day try
ing to corner stray mule for
ride, but feels that life's charms
have fled when he comes to drive
