Rev. Messrs. Kaufman, Selleck, Bixby.
NuttiDg, Bromley and Furman are all
the recipient OF new votes today.
To All Voters-We repeat, IL Is not nec-
essary TO write tho name of your favorite
pastor on all Of "a batch of ballots. But
to avoid confusion where only one ballot
is written on, the batch should be pinned
Or tied together or, at least enclosed In
an envelope all together.
The News has been asked 10 print single
sheets of its daily issue of the page con-
tanning the ballot. We cannot do this,
though If we did we should, OF course,
charge the same price one cent-as asked
for completed copy. But in not the
smallest way does The News wish TO seem
to influence or take any share in the en-
thusiasm of the friends Of the several
pastors who are advanced in this pleasant
competition And on no day still open
10 the competition will The News
print an extra edition above advance
orders and its customary allowance FOR
the demand. The News Is watching the
balloting with perhaps rs great and cor
dial an interest as any Of the voters. but
unfortunately it cannot In even the most
innocent way be participant AS a dis
tinyuished public official once observed as
To his own position: 1t Is not only
necessary that we should do right but
that we should seem TO do right.

Free Silver Distasteful.

Comment is heard on all sides on
the marked disinehnation of all the
prominent democrats TO talk for free
silver. This has been specially no.
ticeable since silver commenced to
decline in price again. Among them
selves heretofore ardent democratic
silverites have not hesitated TO eX
press their admiration for the manner
in which Senator German hedged on
the silver question in the Maryland
democratic platform, and there is
very little doubt that many of the
national democratic leaders regard
free silver played ont as a battle cry,
and are engaged in hunting new
phrase which they can use to BAN
boozle the voters.
The death of the free silver craze is
also regarded as the end OF the can
didacy of Bryan. Meanwhile the
country grows daily more prosperous,
and the people know that they owe
their returning prosperity to the
faithfulness with which President
Mckinley and the republicans in Con-
gress kept the promises made in the
last national republican platform, and
knowing it are not likely to pay any
serious attention to any new expert
ment that may be proposed by the
beaten and demoralized democratic
party.
A majority of the voters in 1892
trusted the democratic party to their
everlasting sorrow and four years of
distress, but they won't do it again.

There are two WAYS of being happy

There are two ways of being happy.
we may either diminish our wants,
or augment our means-either will do
the result is the same; and it is for
each man to decide for himself and do
that which happens to be the easier.
If YOU are idle. or sick, or poor, how
ever hard it may be to diminish your
wants, it will be harder to augment
your means. If You are active and
prosperous, or young, or in good
health. it may be easier for You TO
augment Your means than to dimin-
ish Your wants. But if you are wise
you will do both at the same time,
young or old. rich or poor, sick or
well; and if You are Very wise you do
both in such way as to augment the
general happiness of society Benz

sted with honors. shortly afterwards he
accepted profes,orship in Rust uniyer-

Nothing more contemplate is re-
corded in the annals of American
politics than the plot, for plot it un-
doubtedly is. to attempt to force the
retirement from the cabinet of Secre
taIy Sherman by disappearing not
only his words and acts, but his men
tai condition.
Secretary Sherman was never
stronger mentally than he is to-day
but even if it were true that his men
tai faculties were beginning to feel the
advance of age, his long and honora-
BILE public service would entitle him
to sympathy, in place of the sneers
and inuendoes which have been and
are being melted out to him in the col
umns of the democratic and assistant
democratic press.
Of course, everybody knows that
the principal object of these political
ghouls is to injure the republican
party in Ohio at the coming election,
but, as the average of intelligence
among Ohio voters is as high as that
of the voters in any state in the Union,
this nasty plot will be more likely 70
react upon its concoctors than to in
jure the republican party or Secretary
Sherman.
The Ohio voters are likely to have
an opportunity to Judge for them
selves whether the mental faculties of
Mr.. Sherman are as strong as ever, as
he intends making some speeches in
the state during the campaign, if his
health continues as good as it is now.

signs of prosperity. are not lacking
The strong rise in stocks, the growth
of bank clearings and railroad earn
ings, the heavy speculation in many
