THE OHIO GovERNoRsHIP.
Republican Leaders in the State to
 Assemble in Washington.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-A meeting is to be held in this city in the imme- diate future which will be attended by the republican leaders of Ohio and many of the aspirants for gubernatOrial honors. The purpose will be to can vass the strength of these would-be candidates, and determine which one shall have the support of the admin istration. Of those who are at this time importuning their friends for support, there are two who have some claim upon the party and upon the ad- ministration for past services; but there are also two more who are con- sidered better fitted for the office, and who enjoy a higher standing at the White House.
 The answer which Judge Day will give to the gentlemen of the commit tee of conference, when he is waited upon, may cause an easy solution Of the vexed question. He is the pre- ferred candidate of President Mckinley and Senator Hanna, and it is presumed he would not be objectionable to Sen ator Foraker, because of the strict neutrality which he has observed in the factional fights of the Ohio repub- licans It is doubtful if Judge Day will consent to be a candidate for governor, and, such being the case, President Mckinley will be disposed to

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARIES
An interesting Article in a Recent
 Swiss Review.

Washington, Dsc 2S.-Consul Gen eral Dubois at St. Gau1 has made re- port tci the state department in regard to the Swiss opinion of American H. braries. While the great republic of the vest he says, 'is teaching many useful things to the old world in the way of freedom, educational advance ment and commercial progress, it's in f1uence is being felt ir other ways as we'll Heretofore we have been locked upon as a nation whose chief aim was making money. but now we are recog- nized as a potent clement in the higher civilization. The press here cOnta ns frequent and intelligent articles con cerning our public school system, cur colleges and universities, our hospitals, cur asylums for the insane, the dsaf and dumb, and for those dependent up- on public and private charity for sup port To these institutions are given ths highest praise. Recently much has been written about cur public libraries. In a late number Of the Lausanne Bib liotheque Universells ct Revue Suisse and article was published by MT. AL bert Shinz on libraries in the United States He describes in an interest ing manner the v5ry astonishing in crease of public libraries in our cOun- try, and says that net only does the United States publicly and privately contribute five times as much annually for public library purposes as any other nation in the world, but it spends nearly as much annually for educa- tional purposes as do England, France and Germany combined"

 a British Vessel.

New York, Dec. 28.-The Wilson line steamer Idaho, which arrived yester- day from Hull with bow damaged by striking an unknown obstruction and fore paak full of water, was in further trouble today.

Patriotism and Poverty.
j. c. RrppENrHAL. LR.

In chapter thirty-six of "Quo Vadls" we
find statement and description worth
considering. An immense throng watched
Nero, In pomp and glory, departing for
Antrium. The Polish writer says: Though
wretched people were not lacking in that
throng, people with sunken stomachs and
with hunger In their eyes, that spectacle
infamed not only their desire for enjoy
ment and their envy, but filed them with
delight and pride-because 1t gave feeling
of the might and invlnclbllity OF Rome, to
which the world contributed and before
which the world knelt"
Were 1t not for this strange emotion-or
maybe affection--which is so we'll por-
trayed In the foregoing quotation, almost
all the governments Of the world would
collapse In few hours. But the patriotism
which consists solely of that wild, unrea-
soning emotion is something unstable to
build upon.
To the landless, homeless, houseless,
hopeless, helpless wanderer-perchance a
person Of family, too-love Of country can
not be anything more than that inane pride
and delight OF the hungry Roman moo.
There is nothing for them to stand up for
or to fight for. Men may fight for love of
adventure, but not knowingly to uphold
and increase the levy of rent. interest and
profit upon themselves Mercenaries have
ever been unreliable. Those who have
nothing of their own, individually or col
lectively, cannot be expected to be the best
soldiers Our surest national defense will
not be in the increase of standing army,
but In the general diffusion of wealth and
opportunities among ALL 50 that all have
an interest to guard.

In a word, Populism stands for the whole

for the happiness and prosperity Of state
and nation. When It's principles are fully
established, then, and not until then, will
prosperity In It's full sense return to

Citizens of Kansas, the party which 80

is against the people, this party asks you
to step aside from the principles Of right
and cast your vote for them and give them
power to invite swlndling corporations into
the State again to devour the substance Of

Last, but not least OF all, POpulsm stands
for home rule, the right OF the people to
manage their own municipal affairs, which
they have a right to do.
Surely, In view of all that has been done
for you in the last two years you cannot
afford to lose an administration which
has saved to the State thousands of dol
lars and a Legislature which has given
you many good laws Tor one which would
squander your money and change the laws
in the interest Of corporations and thus
bring upon you the old state Of affairs.
you cannot afford to lose such men as j. d.

your interest. You cannot afford to do
this for mere party sake. See to 1t by

LOUIS MATIGNON.
Experiments with a new mining machine
operated by electricity have been going on
for some time, 80 far with the best of re-
suits (from the operators standpoint), and
every operator Is anxiously watching until
Its ability and capacity as O coal-producing
and Cost-savlng factor has been definitely
demonstrated, when they will be put In
full operation In every shaft in this dis
trict. OF course, the cost Is quite large,
but the increase of tonnage that its use
will result In and the great reduction in the
cost Of production are inducements that
overcome any argument that may be ad-
vanced against 1t.
Each machine costs about 81 300 and pro-
duces daily q tonnage of seventy tons of
coal for an average nine hours work.
1t will reduce the necessity of hand labor
fully 70 per cent, besides producing moth
Ing but good lump coal. So you see the
advantages derived by this machine are
worth having. The electric company peo-
pie here who have charge Of this work are
very much interested in making the ma
chine success and have placed the man

pert electricians. have watched for a

The Success of Prohibition.
7. u. STEPHENS.

In the closing paragraph Of an editorial
on Prohibition in Canda," in last weeks
paper, you speak as follows
If the prohibitionists in Canada win
this first battle they will be obliged to
be or the alert to keep their ground
The commercial element opposing them
will have more at stake than before,
and the adoption Of prohibition In Can
ada will not mean its success there by
q long ways, any more than 1t has In
Kansas.
The first two of these statements are alb
solutely true, but in view Of the fact that
the Advocate and News Is a strong sup
porter of anti-liquor legislation, with the
enforcement Of the same, 1t does not seem
to me that the impression conveyed by the
last statement Is the impression which the
editor intended.
1t is true that the adoption of prohibition
In any State or nation does not necessarily
mean it's success. To insure this moral
suaslOn and legal suasion, agitation and
legislation should always go hand In hand.
Your closing statement strongly implies
that prohibition has not been a success in
Kansas. If 1t has not been an absolute
success 1t is because temperance people
have failed to keep up vigorous tenn
perance mot necessarily prohibition) agita-
ton.
But that It has been great compare
tive success every liquor paper in the Unit
ed States has borne positive testimony.
will cite but one instance The Brewers
Journal, the leading organ Of the brewing
interests Of the United States, in its issue
Of January l, 1897, is authority for the fol-
lowing figures: The consumption of beer in
Nebraska in 1896 was 16l ,Sl7 barrels, while
in Kansas it was only 6,099 barrels. Ne
braska paid $544.173 internal revenue; Kan
sas 100000 greater population) paid $2SS-
92. The annual per capita consumption of
beer in Kansas is less than One-tifteenth
of the per capita consumption in the re-
naming territory OF the United States.
The object Of prohibitory legislation is not
primarily to save or to reform the drunk
ard, although it aids in doing this. Its pri-
The Advocate and news., 1898-10-05

mary objects are to protect society, to pro-
tect our homes, to protect the weak and
helpless, and to prevent the community or
state from being overrun with crime and
pauperism. Not reformation, but protec-
tion and preservation are the objects OF
prohibition; and in these things (as per-
haps you will permit me to show in a future
article) prohibition In Kansas has been and
Is great success. Nevertheless, with con-
slant temperance agitation 1t would be an
even greater success.
