Speaker Reed is faithfully carry

for him by Mckinley. The whole ma
chinery of the nation is at a standstill
waiting for the passage of the odious
Dingley tariff bill.-Chicago Chronicle.
Talk about a surplus in connec
ton with the Dingley bill is superfuous.
There will be NO surplus. There will
not ever be revenue sufficient to meet
the necessities of the government. A
protective tariff as such will logically
nal.

concerning the retroactive tariff order

There can be no doubt now about Boss
Hanna's usefulness in the senate. II
will be a big job to keep that majority
OF one in sight.-St. Louis Republic.
The people do not like the traffic
agent, and the mere juggler in politics
Mr.. Hanna is one Of those politicians
and statesmen who have no principles
or convictions that cannot be accom-.
modated to the desire of success. Thi.
is the reason why his political career in
Ohio will be short. He will! be senator
till next january only.-Portland Ore

long been selling goods 10 foreigners
cheaper than to Americans. The pro

which had an element of fascination in
spite of its dangerous nature. A hol-
low in the ground retained the last
half pint, into which n end of the fuse
was cooled and weighted with a stone.
The girl retreated. With fin
gers the yarn was trailed from the
camp until its length was spread on
the barren soil. The fayine seemed like
a valley of death. Men and horses alike
were in the world of sleep.
"God forgive me if this is a crime!''
prayed the delirately-nurtured mis-
ehief-maker.
A sulphur match was rubbed on a

gray. The strain had lasted a long
time, and the brave girl sobbed com
vulsively, whether for JOY OF terror or
both she hardly knew.
When the sun penetrated into the
mountains, two men were to be seen
nea the railroad, moodily waiting for
the Florence express. The rosy light
stole up the ravine until the blackened
remains of a camp were reached; and
on the brow of the hill a cheerful beam
kissed the face of a fair girl lying in
healthful sleep in front of a tent, her
arms hugging a rife as if it were her
most precious possession.

DEMOCRATIC OHIO.
The buckeye State Has Had Enough
Of Hanna.

The buckeye State Has Had Enough
Of Hanna.
No better indication of the increasing
dissatisfaction with the present admin
istration could be found than that af-
fonded by Ohio last week. The state of
Mckinley and Hanna repudiated those
gentlemen in the most vigorous and un-
mistakable manner. Cincinnati wiped
out the republican plurality of nearly
$4,000 last November, and put in place
of it a democratic one of I've 1000.
Similar results were reached in other
cities.
Cleveland clearly showed that it had
enough of Hanna. The previously re-
publican majority of 4,OGO has been
swept away. The dictator's home city
repudiated him. Indeed, Hanna had
many causes for regret last week. There
is no possible doubt of the result in his
state in the fall. 1t will go strongly
democratic. The legislature which is
to choose the senator to succeed Hanna
will be democratic, and that per
manent retirement from congress for
the p~lutOcratic power behind the throne.
Hanna will be obliged to leave Wash
ington or slip in through some obscure
side door to the cabinet. Of course,
Bliss may be relied on to resign at the
proper moment. But even that consola-
ton does not lift the gloom from the
prospect staring Hanna and his pro
tege in the face.-Tammany Times.
Every citizen knows that the gem
eral government must have sufficient
revenue to administer the affairs of gov.
eminent economically. and all citizens
would agree to the passage of a revenue
tariff bill. But citizens are fast finding
ont that under the guise Of a bill to pro
duee reuenue President Mckinley and
Mr. Dingley are trying to foist upon the
people a measu reducing trade and
increasing taxes-Nashvlle American
There is little doubt that the con.

Among other boiler workers employed
in putting up the hood for the cupola at
the new plant of the Bellalre Steel Com
pany, was E. e. Bastoe. Yesterday af-
ternoon he was busIly at work when,
without any warning he was precipltat-
ed from his perilous position thirty feet
below TO a death of awful suddenness,
From what can be learned of the ira
gedy, the unfortunate Bastoe made a
misstep and, before he could recover
himself, fell a distance of thirty feet
onto a hydraulic "jack." His head
struck the Jack" with the result that
he was crushed beyond recognition al
most, and brains were scattered all
around the spot, Bastoes Mortified fell
low workmen hurried to the scene, but
the man had been instantly killed. and
no human aid could avail.
BastOe came TO Bellaire two weeks
ago from Portsmouth, Ohio, with his

Rather than Have Him Sent TO Reform
School, lawyer Adopts watE
Mayor Roth. Recorder Wagner and
other prominent Fulton citizens last
night gathered in Squire Haberleld's
court to ask that something be done
for George Bowers, n thlrteen-year-old
boy, whose inroads upon their hen
coops, and general vagrnncy had filled
the town with terror of him, The town
fathers instructed Recorder Wagner TO
bring the boy TO court and II possible
get him sent to the state reform school,
or some place where he would be looked
after.
The case developed n very sad picture.
The boy Ia n neglected walt. His moth
er died FIVE years ago, and his dissolute
father married a worthless character,
the marriage ending IN a separation.
The father then went to Slstersvllle,
and since then the boy has almost
starved, an empty coal house or shed
affording him the only shelter. II
wasn't strange that he stole n little un-
der the circumstances. Last night all
he had on him was n hat, shirt and
pants. There was n disposition TO send
him to the reform school. which Lawyer
II. Ryan eloquently argaued against,
finally conscntlng to take charge OF the
boy himself, which was agreed to and
the case dismissed. Mr. Ryan and Mr..
Strohlman, of the Wheeling auction
room, will adopt the boy.
