GHOST STORY.
Two Young Women Nearly Frightened
to Death by Wierd Visitor
at Homework,

For some time past ghost shss made
Its appearance frequently to differenb
persons living at or near Homework.
Last Saturday night was the last vista
tion ofthis weird guest as a result Of
which two estimable young ladies. Of
that place received q scare from which
they are not likely to recover for some
time. 1t seems that this ghost is of .
very, unoanny nsturs and well -ftted
judging from the looks of the thing,
whatever IL may be, to play the title role
among the many spirits in ghostdom.
The large bridge near the east end Of
Homework is fayorise haunt Of the ap-
partition, from which It suddenly springs
and through terror, inspired by the horri.
flying appearance of the spectre, all
persons are put to flight. Some linger to
take second look at this thing, when,
! phantom like. 1t fits from place to place
but 1t is safe to add that second look l.
more than sufficient for the most courage
Gus human being to Withstand, and they
beat hasty retreat
This ghost is described along the line,
that would flll the most fanoiful idea
ever conjured up on suoh subject. Tn,
shrek omitted by the spectre, just as 1
vanishes into the air above, is the mos
awe-inspiring cry mortal being ever at
tempted to describe. Beginning In a Low
wall, like the cry Of love-slck cat, /
swells in oadenoes until it teaches soul
freezing shrek, then breaks of abrupt!
into the moans, and sobs of dyinI
babe. A large and well-armed party hs
been organized, and the matter will
Investigated, as people living in tha
neighborhood are worked up to ptto
of frenzy through the excitement COCA
stoned by the repeated appearance Of tn
apparition.

Gov. Bushnell has the card that fills
Foraker's hand in the Senatorial game
in Ohio. The Governor may appoint a
successor to John Sherman, or he may
call an extra session of the legislature
and have that body elect successor.
Hanna wants to go to the Senate but he
is afraid he can't get there. The legisla-
ture is made up largely Of Foraker men.
Both Stark county members and State
Senator Williams belong to the Foraker
wing. The Mckinley men hereabouus
have barred their necks to the heads ans
axe and have received the blow without
a murmur, all for the sake of Mckinley.
Now what will Mckinley do to repay
these men for their sacrifces2 While the
Mckinley mems hands were tied, the
Foraker fellows have safely intrenched
themselves and will not be dislodged.
One man worship has done the Nc.
Kinley crowd to death. They wake up
to find that they are entirely outside of
the breastworks so far as state emolu-
ments are concerned, and Mr.. Mckinley
will do nothing for them. A most dis
tinguished crowd of self sacrificing
patriots in this county will soon be re
solved into most clamorous set of dis
appointed dupes.

The monetary convention at Indian
apolis has adjourned. What their action
will amount to remains to be seen.
Their interest and activity in the gold
standard is manifest. They seem de-
termined to continue to press the crown
of thorns upon the Draw Of labor, and
willing to cruelty it on the cross of gold.
These fellows are elated and seem to
think the people have endorsed them.
This may be, but the sober second
thought may tell quite another tale.
Even the present experience is telling
and time will only make II mole and
more evident, so the friends of righteous
government need not be without hope.

CABINET TROUBLES.

Major Mckinley has undoubtedly
much trouble in making up his cabinet,
and 1t is largely owing to the fact that
none of the veteran and leading States
men of the Republican party appear to
have any desire to share with him the
responsibilities of the next four years.
This is peculiar situation, and has con.
fronted no President of either party in the
past. From the commencement of party
government the Presidents elect generally
called about them the great leaders of
their respective parties, and generally
some of those who contested for. the
nomination. To go no further back,
Mr.. Hayes had Sherman and Evarts,
Garfield had Blaine and windon, Arthur
had Freling ghuysen and Folger, Cleve-
land on his first term had Bayard, Whit
ney and Manning, Harrison had Blaine
and Window, and Cleveland on his
second term Olney, Gresham, Carlisle
and William L. Wilson. Major Mckinley,
it appears, cannot prevail on the re.
cognized leaders of his party to join the
administration. Reed, Dingley, Allison,
Aldrich and others of second
grade declined. They all wish the new
President well, but have no desire to, sit
at his council board.
We can conceive of no other reason
than that there is a general feeling that
Mark Hanna will dominate the admins
tration, whether he holds Office or not.
He is a masterful man, and his claims
on Mckinley rise paramount to those of
all other men. The great party leaders
have no ambition to play second fiddle
to the resourceful boss. They we'll
understand that while the Major is O
pleasant and nice gentleman, he has
none of the qualities of Jackson, or ever
Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleve.

dependent personal action. He is o
the yielding sort, of which Pierce, Haye
and Garfield were notable illustrations

Major McKinley's cabinet is likely t.
be of second rates, except Mr., Hanna
Some of these second rates may max

the exception of the treasury and stat
departments the cabinet places are no

The new governor of Kansas, Cover.

State in his Inaugural address. He pays
his respects to the Eastern maligners of
Kansas because the State did not vote
to suit them on the Presidential and
