yesterday discussed the enrolment of VOL

treaty forbids the use OF irregulars that all

NEPOTISM UNDER M'xINLEY.

We all remember how the virtuous
Republican press belabored President
| Cleveland for appointing his relatives
to Office. Well they have not word
to say about McKinley's numerous ap-
pointments of relatives to Office, while
deserving party workers are standing
around with their tongues hanging

To a cousin Of Mr.. Mckinley has
been given the lucrative post Of Con-
sui General to London. An uncle
holds that Of assistant postmaster at

nounced that still a, third nephew is to

lions at Columbus, o. 1t is but natural
that these appointments of his kins-
| folk to Office should have excited I'M
! favorable comment on the part of the
general public and much dissension
among the rank and file Of the Presi-
dents own party.
The people Of this country have al
weys heartily disapproved Of ten
dency toward nepotism on the part Of
the Chief Executive. They see the JUS
tice of leading and influential party
workers being rewarded by important
appointments, but they cannot per-
ceive the logic which would pension a

honor of election to the Presidency.
They argue, indeed, that the dignity OF
that exalted position is very material

OLD. YOUNG PEOPLE.

People age quickly in this American
life, and instances Of preservation of
youthful strength and vigor in mature
years are pointed to as remarkable.
We are educated to believe in early de-
cay of physical beauty and strength,
especially in our women, and permit
the decline to continue with a passing
sigh. Most women have a worn look
in the early twenties, the figure loses
its roundness, the face the glow of
youth, and from that time on they age
rapidly. All this is wrong and unnec-
essary. Let everybody to whom this
word may come, men and women alike,
consult DR.. Greene, and learn from his
great experience the cause of your
trouble, and secure his invaluable adj
vice. DR.. Greene, discoverer of the ia
nous Nervura, and many other Won
derful remedies, invites consultation
at his office, 50 West 14th Street, New
York City, either by personal call or
by letter through the mail, and in
either case he will give you advice abb
solutely free of all charge. This offer
is for everybody, old and young, rich
and poor, and thousands of happy peo-
pie testify to-day to the practical ma
ture Of the experienced advice of this
great specialist and the marvellous cur
ative power of his remedies Don't be
satisfied to grow old prematurely when
the advice of this famous physician is
at your disposal for the asking, wholly
free of charge.

Senator Elkins, Of West Virginia,
said to-day that he wished to correct
a misapprehension that he claimed the
authorship of section % of the tariff

had been interested with him in franz

as much credit as the public should
give it. The movement in behalf of
discriminating tariff provision will
go steadily forward" said Mr. Elkins,
"and there will be no halt until ade-
quate protection is secured for our
American shipping and against the
privileges of the Canadian railroads.
The first thing l will do on the reas-
sembling of Congress will be to present

BRITAIN'S INDIAN TROUBLE.

Recent. cable news conveys the inter-
esting information that British officials
in India have come into possession of
a budget of secret correspondence be-
tween Russia and Afghanistan going
to prove that both the Car and the
Ameer are implicated in widespread
plot against Anglo-Indian influence
that has already brought about the
native uprising on the frontier, placing
a most serious and threatening aspect
upon the existing Indian situation.
Heretofore the English suspicion of
Russia's hostile influence as exercised
upon the Ameer and among the war
like hill tribes has had but little tan
gible evidence upon which to base de-
cisive action. 1t was to Russia's inter
est, always at the gates of India and
longing for a weakening of British
power, to foment trouble for the domi-
nant nation, and it has long been he
lieved that no opportunity has been
lost to safely and secretly carry ont
such a policy. But the connecting
link in an intrigue of this nature has
always been missing until now-tak-
Ing 1t for granted that the most recent
news of this discovery. Of secret CORE
spondence is correct and authoritative.

A NEGRO TICKET.
Colored Men of Ohio Cut Loose From
the Old Parties Convention in
Columbus to Take Independent
Action Ticket, Platform and EN-
biem ALI Are Decided Upon.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Columbus, september 22.-The col
Ored race OF ONO Will look TO ue-
vice on the State ticket this year
other IMAM the eagle to guide them
In the assertion or independence ana
manhood. The best representatives OF
the race met here in convention to-
day. They met for the purpose Of
issuing a new declaration of independ-
ence. They met not only to Iormu-
late such declaration, but to nOmi-
nate ticket and ADOPT a plaIIorm OF
principles that would reassert the in
dependence of the race.
a This day marks new era in the his
tory of the negro race in Ohio. Poll
political parties were concerned.
Spies and detectives from either of the
great political parties have been dis
carded. The convention nominated
the following ticket Governor, Sam
uel j. Lewis, Hamilton county; Lieu
tenant Governor, Jason M. Tilley, Guy
ahoga county; Judge of Supreme
Court, Graham Deuwell, Franklin
county; Attorney General, Charles F.
Armisted, Gallia county; Member
Board of Public Works, John Mckee,
Clark county; Treasurer, Moses Moore,
Montgomery county; State School
Commissioner, c. D. Horner, Hamil-
ton county.
The men who have nominated the
above ticket and adopted the platform
of resolutions given are disinterested
citizens Of Ohio. They are men who
recognize that as long as men go
along the street pointing to co,ored
men as the slaves of the Republican
party he is nothing more than a serf
from a political standpoint Enraged
beyond the measure of endurance by
the indignities heaped upon the color
ed race by Hanna, Bushnell and others,
the negroes of intelligence have come
to a realization Of the fact that they
have nothing to expect from blind
adhesion to any party whatsoever.
The meeting was one of the most Sc
cret ever held in the State The or
ganization perfected to-day is oath
bound. 1t exists for the sole purpose
of protecting the negro 1t exists not

dition of servitude. e

England viii accordingly take diplo-
matte action that may cause very me-
nacing crisis in the European situation.
Grim evidence Is not lacking of the
fact that the British Government re-
CARDS the situation as far graver than
any likely to arise from an unsupport-
ed revolt Of the native tribes. The
same cable news that tells OF the un-
masking of the Russo-Afghanistan
pot tells also of British action that Is
little less that a declaration OF war
against the Ameer. The British war
Office has already notified the London
commercial agent of the Afghanistan
Government that mo war material or
machinery for the manufacture thereon
will be allowed to cross the frontier
during the present crisis" Ten bat
teries of horse and field artillery now
in garrison in England have been or
dered to embark for India, giving the
unprecedented total of IA batteries Of
artillery assigned for active duty in
that country. In addition, also, $4,000
troops are to be massed on the from
tier. 1t would certainly seem as if
i''the authorities are possessed of infor-
nation of a serious character" as the
cable states.
Every Englishman and every Rus
sian has been for years taught to be-
lieve that conflict between Russia
and England, with India for the battle
field, was inevitable. While it may
not be we'll to predict war between
the two nations as the outcome Of the
present crisis, it is undeniably true
that the outlook is more threatening
now than at any time before. The
averting of trouble depends almost en-
tirely upon Great Britain's estimate Of
Russias strength under existing inter-
national alliances, and the British view
of the advisability of playing a bold
diplomatic game against Russia inter-
meddling in Indian affairs, with a
readiness to carry the game through,
if necessary, to the final move of re-
sort to arms.

The colored voters of Ohio have
finally decided to trust the white pol
lticians no further, after an experience
of quarter of century, during which
they were made the victims of a bien-
NAL game of bunco. The leading COL
ored Republicans met at Columbus the
other day and put an independent col
ored ticket in the field in opposition
to the old ticket which they have al
ways voted faithfully, but without re-
ceiving any Of the promised rewards.
1t is brand new declaration of indie
pendence on the part of the Ohio COL
ored people, but it remains to be seen
II they have the stamina to stick to
their resolution or not.
