"Thus the gold drifts to the banks and
treasury" says a Republican paper.
Exactly, but not among the people. Yet
in estimating per capita circulation it is
usually counted. In the Ohio treasury,
too, is half million or so of surplus.
Would this money not be better among
the people? Why take from tie tax
payers Of Ohio money they badly need
for business and other purposes in order
to have a surplus in the State treasury a?
The Ohio State Journal says:
Under Democratic rule it was often
necessary for the counties to make ad.
vance payments into the treasury in an
ticipation of the taxes, in order to meet
the obligations of the State. But that
has gone out OF fashion with Republican
management. Now there is not only an
abundance OF money to pay the matut-
ing debts of the commonwealth, but the
treasury hes plenty OF funds subject to
appropriation. This is good state OF
affairs and reflects credit upon all con
cerned in state finances.
The News-Democrat submits If it il
not better to leave these millions among
the people as long as possible for then

use. Several millions in the State treas.
ury about this time and IN the
eighty.eight county treasures of
the State is surely calculated
to embarrass business. Is 1T not bet
ter for the State treasurer to draw upon
the counties in advance for a part of the
States share than to hoard up millions
and thus embarrass all classes of peo.
ple2 Republican flnanciering seems to
care little for the welfare of the tax psy.

PREVENTED A HOLDUP.


DUBLIN, Tex, Nov. 24.-When the
westbound passenger train on the Rio
Grande railroad was about three miles
west, rounding deep cut, the engineer
discovered the track. to be obstructed
by pile of rock three feet high. The
engineer reversed his engine and sud-
denly stopped his train, and in an in.
slant started to back to this city. As
the train slowed up, four robbers sur.
rounded the train and ordered all hands
up, but seeing the train move backward,
they opened fire on the engineer who
had crouched behind the boiler to avoid
their bullets. Many shots were fired
but no one was hurt. The robbers were
foiled.
The men wore no masks. A posse
was organized and conveyed to the
scene at once. The crowd showed
their appreciation of the engineers
bravery in substantial manner.

COMMISSIONER SUMNER.


Our fresh county commissioner, ]. b.
Summer, is running the worknouse
campaign alone. Possibly he imagines
he is the board, but he may discover
that in body of three, two is major.
ity, and one, even if a great man me, is
a minority.
His last article reminds one OF Tory
speech in the British parliament
which Sheridan said ., had much
that was new and much that
was true; but what was new was
not true, and what was true was not
new. But nevertheless it suits the Hanna
organs, for they like something fresh.
Our fresh commissioner prophecies a
workhouse deficiency "of about $50, 900
next year, if etc " What is that com
pared TO deficiency of over forty mil
lions in four months under the Dingley
Law? Mr.. Summer would keep "the
Stark county workhouse solely and ex.
clusively as place Of punishment etc. "
Why, that is equal to Weyler, the late
Governor General of Cuba!
Mr.. Suumer would send home all
prisoners from outside counties as soon
as possible and receive no more. Yes
this individual would do wonders The
directors of the workhouse have credit
in this county of being men of sense,
and they, not the superintendent, made
these arrangements. Besides, the dis.
bursements for the workhouse are super.
vised and approved by the county COM
missioners. This alone should be suf.
fcient answer to their fresh member.

surroundings, such as habits of life
dieteties, cleanliness, etc. A distin-
guished British medical author in the
early part Of this century advised north
ern people going to a warm or tropica
cline to forego their usual diet mainly
and live upon the fruits and products of
the locality. The writer claimed that
by SO doing they would be less liable to
yellow fever and other diseases.

According to authorities in mining,
silver averages 40 cents an ounce, while
gold averages much less. Gold bullion
per dollars worth costs about forty cents
to mine. Many a gold nugget has been
picked up, and yet the owner has had il
coined into dollars. The mint official
makes no enquiry of the miner when
receiving his gold, what it cost him ia
mine it. The farmer when selling wheat
is not asked, what it cost him per bushel
to raise. Nor when selling cattle OF
