A Cheerful Minnie.

That cheerful minnie II. II. Han
ma is again before the public with
lis. committees to regulate the fin,
,,ances of the country. Mr.. Hanna
says that he has o.doubtthat Con-
!; gress will accept the program of
his committees and that it will
speedily become law. Some OF
the machinery in Mr.. ianna'S
works must be out of order.
The cheerful minnie does not
know that his greater namesake,
Mark Hanna has decided that it is
not necessary to trouble Congress
about making a law to reform cur
rency, which means to retire the
greenb2cks, the greater Hanna
fears there might be some difficulty
in getting them obstropuIous mem
bers' to do this work, he is not ii
cheerful minnie, like the smaller
Hanna.
SO the greater Hanna has decid-
ed to let Secretary of the Treasury
Gage make the law for himself
that is retire all the legal tenders
by locking them up in the Treasury
vaults as they are paid in, and not
rei-suing them as the law com
manls him to do. The Secretary
has already locked up fully one
fifth OF the legal tenders, as shown
by his own monthly report and the
National Banks are helping him,
by holding on like grim death to "A
departed African, to every legal
tender dollar they can get hold of
until they have now double the
amount required by law as a re-
serve.
The lesser Hanna, the cheerful
idiot might as we'll disbend his cur,
~ency reform committee. 1t will
not be- needed. Secretary Gage
will give us another example of eX-
ccutiVe law making, such as Secre-
tary Sherman did when he created
ii gold reserve and Secretary Car,
Isle did when he declared that
every legal tender dollar must be
redeemed in gold.

Popular Prices.

New Lexington Tribune.
a well known house in Glouster
has for weeks been conspicuUusly
advertising goods and prices as fol-
lows: White fine shirts 3Sc, six
boxes good matches 5c, three lead
pencils Ic, three pens lc, $50 pins

clothespins per dozen 1c, ten darn
ing needles 1c, two good pie pans
sc, good broom 9c, blacking per
box 2c, good spectacles 0c, shoe
polish Sc. How and where these
goods are bought at wholesale
would he an interesting question.
Our New Lexington cotemporary
seems to be very much surprised
over the figures quoted above.
What do you think Of the following
figures-and they are not specialties
either-they are the every day
prices of our leading Logan busi-
ness houses. Here they are, white
fine shirt zoe, two boxes matches lc,
five lead pencils sc, 800 pins 1c, six
cakes toilet soap DC, clothespins six
dozen lc, three good pie pans 5c,
good broom r., backing three
b bXes So, shoe polish sc. We won't
mention any more as our brother
of the Tribune might be effected
with heart trouble and the shock
from reading the prevailing prices
of commodities in an up-to.date
little city like Logan might result
disastriously and in consequence
there might be young widow left
on our hands. Read and ponder
over these figures gentlemen and
then when sou want to do some
trading come over toa live town
do it'll.

guests of Treasurer and Mrs. j. H.
Kline at their beautiful home in
Enterprise. All that know Henry
Kline and his good wife know what
to expect at banquet at the hands
of these good people on an occasion
of this Kind. They conceived the
idea in the impulse of their generous
natures, and in the spirit of graft
tude for favors rendered, to extend
the pleasures of Il royal, big dinner
TO the Treasurer's bondsmen and
good wives, and to include the al
ways hungry newspaper men in the
dead. When we received our invita-
tion in the middle of the week, we
began to get smart and eat nothing,
to save up our ever knawing capaci-
ty for this occasion, and what we did
10 it, when it did come. as the little
boys says, WAS plenty" At
about 10 o'clock the guests began
pouring into our nearest neighbor
village, and soon the jolly host and
hostess had their hands full, receiv-
ing and extending the hearty well
come to the many guests. The good
wife assisted by her most excellent
daughter Miss Cora, and Miss Emma
Willoge, Mrs. j. $. Shaw, Miss Mar
garet Mccarthy and Mrs. Lima Han
sci. entertained the ladies in the
parlOrs and on pOrchcs, while Mr.,
Kline and his two noble young men
sons Alma and George, were kept
busy with the joking, jolly, noisy
fellows out under the trees. The
hour before dinner was spent in
happy feast of learning and flow OF
soul; the mingling and making ac-
quaintance, and the exchange of
jolly good jokes. The kind host
passed the good cigars often and the
stalwaIts made the air blue with the
fragrant smoke.
At the neon hour the spread was
called and continued, by reason of
numbers. until three O'Clock and the
point Of a pencil or printers ink Is
not intended to describe such Il ban
QUet. The tables were beautifully
decorated with flowers and ferns,
and the sumptuous touch Of banquet
artists WAS evident on all sides. The
hungry guests, for we believe all
gueSts'aTe hungry, could not have
anticipated Il more complete repast
or a more eNhilarating refreshment,
and personally if ever in our lives
we made an exhibition Of out stick
to-itivencss and staying qualities it
was right then and there. We plead
guilty and echo answers, there are

guest from the table they We're the

The.afternoOn was further spent in

and reluctantly did the guests de-
part for their homes late in the after
noon. 1t was one of those happy
times that 90 to prolong life, and
wipe away the business cares, and
the one impulse was that Treasurer
and Mrs. Kline are the king and

Attention Farmers.

Don't let them fool you in bnying
Fertelizers 10y telling you that they
sell the same grade, or the same
kind for less money than is sold by
j. II. Kline, Of Enterprise, o. for
they cannot do it by three or four
dollars on the ton. Remember
that our celebrated FerteIizprs are
not sold by any other person in
Hooking county, except j. III. Kline
and his representatives who pur-
chase them Of us in 100 ton lots and
over and get the very lowest cash
price, and therefore can sell the
Farmers a better FERTILIZER for less
money. Our celebrated desolved
bone sold at Sl7.00 per ton can not
be beat for wheat and grass also
our Plain Super. Prostate sold at
$500 per ton will give a number

price. Call on our agent j II. Kline
and get your fertelizers and you
will make no mistake. 1t will

On Monday, Sept. 5th, 1897, Mr.. j.
IL. Kline, as we formerly announced
took his Office as Treasurer of Hook
ing County, and our county, one
more step, drops back to her original
and proper mourings, and upon the
shoulders Of none could it have fall
len withmore fitness or efficiency
than upon j. II. Kline. He is man
OF sterling worth, fit companion for
the good men in official capacities
with whom he will serve; worthy
servant of the people. He is a thor
ough business man, n good man with
countless friends and will make II
model treasurer. He has eX-treas-
urer John Notestone helping him for
a while and it does our eyes good to
see these two good Democrats in pos
session again.
Mr.. ii. j. Woodworth, who retires
after serving two years, made a good
treasurer and kept the affairs of his
Office in strictly business way, and
comes out with u clean record. We
opposed him politically and will ride
the county to defeat him as we did
last year, should he come again.
His patronage was to the Journal,
the paper of his party, as it should
have been, and did us no good. We
didn't cry around and beg; udge the
other office their good fortune, but
whetted up our AK, went out and
changed it and will enjoy our re-
ward, and we know Mckay will not
cry over spilled milk, but will grin
and bear it like man. We propose
to see to itthat his entire corps of
officials are eliminated so that we
may jog along and live awhile, and
let some Of the good fellows of our
belief and persuasion enjoy the good
things.

THE FORESTRY RESERVE

1t was not because the Globe was
opposed to the establishment of for
estry reserves that it criticised the
measure proposed by Mr. Cross, of Min
neapOliS, and introduced in the house
by Judge Hicks. The Importance of
preserving our forests as far as possi-
bic is unquestioned. The task is made
harder by the premium of 81 a thou
sand feet congress proposes to put
upon the destruction of our pine for
ests, and this renders it only the more
necessary for the state to interpose for
the preservation of forests now in it's
control and the reforesting of the de-
nuded lands that may be conveyed to
it. Our opposition was directed to that
feature of the bill which reserved pro-
century in two-thirds Of the land to
the men who had aided in making re-
foresting a pressing necessity. That
feature is entirely eliminated in the
pending bill as it came back from the
committee of forestry with a favorable
recommendation IL now creates a for
est reserve out of lands that may be
set apart by the legislature or donated
to the state or granted by the United
States. 1t creates a board of forestry.

James S. O'Brien, of Saltwater was
yesterday appointed by Gov. Clough to
succeed John G. Nelson, of the same
city, as surveyor general of logs and
lumber for the First district, which in
GUIDES the st. CrOiX and it's western
tributaries.
The appointment is one Of the richest

having in years past been estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, and the
fact that Gov. Clough conferred it on
a lifelong Democrat is significant Of
tendency to obliterate party lines.
During the last campaign. it is true
Mr.. O'Brien was loyal to the cause Of
sound money, but was none the less
aVowedly a Democrat. He has been
state senator. gaining his seat by close
contests against the party to which
the governor belongs. and for several
years lately he has been a member Of

ley BILL whatever its effect on the price
sharp advance in the price of all wool
ems. 1t will add the duty to the price
of all foreign woods, and these are es-
sential in cloth-making for mixture
with domestic wool. It is probable, as
has been the case heretofore, that the
price of the latter will drop and the
former rise. Foreign wool is now free
of tax. All that can be bought and
worked into cloth will give profit to
the weaver at least equivalent to the
tax. It is this profit which the wooden
mills are anxious to reap, and it is in
anticipation of it that the enormous
purchases of foreign wool are being
made and the mills running on full
time making cloths.
On the other hand, there is no such
inducement to the weavers of cotton.

rise is to be anticipated in cotton cloth
prices through the measure devised by
the lieutenants Of the Advance Agent,
because there is to be no advance in
the price of cotton by taxing imports
of it. Such a tax would be as absurd
as is the tax on wheat, but the latter
is laid because it is confidently be
lieved in the ways and means commit
tee that there are yet farmers in the
Northwest growing wheat who are so
very supplemented as to think that
it, somehow, helps them. Neither is
in the price of cotton fabrics because
of the change, as, while, there is an ad-
vance in the cotton schedule over the
rates of the present law, the proposed
rates are somewhat lower than in the
Mckinley act. This accounts, on bust
ness grounds solely, and independent
of prosperity making by legislation,
for the contrary conditions that pre-
vail in the wooden and cotton mills of
obeying the universal impulse to get
what they want at the lowest cost and
TO get for what they make the highest
price possible, and in both movements
