CONGRESSMAN TAYLER's BARGAIN
ING.

The Lisbon Ohio Patriot, in a late is-
sue gave an account of the bargain and
sale between Tayler and johnson and
disclosed some of the secrets, compacts
and incentives OF the opposition to
Judge Johnston, in the fol owing article.
The patriot says:
Democrats and Republicans alike hate
bargain and sale in politics. All fair
mind ed men want to see fair play among
candidates, and when fair play is not al
lowed, then party ties are not binding.
In the nomination for Congress Judge
Johnston, Of Mahoning unity, was
sbamefuliy treated. The chief parties
to the com pact which fettered and de-
feated the judge we're X. w. Tayler, OF
Lisbon, and Judge l.. w. King, OF
Youngt town. The compact or agree
m, mt was made at Lisbon a short time
before the Republican primaries last
spring. Judge King and his friends
came to Lisbon in the evening and met
r. w. Tayler and his friends. The ses-
sic n lasted till about daylight the next
morning " hen the Youngstown worthless
drove back home. The substance OF
that agreement was this: 81 will see at
any cost that you carry Mahonlng
county this time, If you will agree to
give me Columbiapa next time" said
Judge King. Il pledge you my honor,
Judge, that myself and friends will de-
liver you this county two years from
this time if you faithfully do what you
promise" said K. w. Tayler. The
Youngstown parties went home aud
with the use of money and other disre'
putabe methods the city of Young2t 1wn
was turned against Judge Johnston and
Tayler was nominated. Will the mass
of Republicans ratify the compact? Thai
is the question. We believe they viii
not. We know they should not. al
nominations should be conducted fairly
and free from political contracts.
Th9 Democrats present most worthy
man for Congress, and we earnestly en-
treat our far minded Republican frieDdi
to- Join us in his election. II you do yor
will never regret it. In helping hin
you help brave and big hearted sol
der, and you place the seal Of copdem
nation on the compact OF Judge KIM
and X. W. Tayler

The German. American Union in New
York city declares tor Judge Van Wyck
as governor. The New York Indepen-
dents were for Roosevelt before he be-
came Platt's man, but now they have
nominated full ticket and Teddy is not
on it. The New York Evening Post"
supports Colonel Roosevelt, but says bis
acceptance speech was a "chill" to the
Independents 1t was jingo speech,
and the "Nvening Post" reasons in this
way:
The independent voter ia very rarely
lingo. What he wants in this cam
paign is good state government. He is
not going to vote to "approve the war,"
or "to repudiate the war;" or to in
huence opinion in Havana, or Madrid,
or Paris, or Berlin, or London. Least

WHY is IT9

Why is 1t that 30 many workingmen

These two are utterly antagonistic

the former goes on the principle of do

from Honolulu under date of August
Is, as follows:
The congressional members of the

eminent for the territory of Hawaii,

The three commissioners met PreSi-

WOMEN MAY AID JUBILEE.
Proposition to Give Them Places on
Important Committees.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-A proposition to
give women representation on the inn
portant committees having in charge
the preparations for Chicago's great
peace jubilee was preached at yester-
at the Union League club. Although no
action was taken on the matter the
friends of the project express confidence
that the value of women as promoters
of the celebration will be recognized
and they will be given an opportunity
to show that patriotism knows no sex
distinction.
letter to the general committee
from Grant Kitchener of Valparaiso,
Ind, deputy auditor of Porter county
Ind, was read, in which he said the
residents of suburban towns for so miles
around Chicago were willing and anx-
1ouS to do something to contribute to
the success of Chicago's great day Mr.
Kitchener said that 500 people would
come from Valparaiso alone, and that
the other towns around Chicago would
send propOrtionately large crowds. More
than this, he said the people of the
small towns would take an active part
would arrange many attractive features
for the parade or the decorations about
the city.
The general committee decided to act
on Mr.. Michener's suggestion that one
or two representatives of the peace
jubilee committees be appointed in
every town within so miles of Chicago
zenS of those towns in helping to cele-
brate the return of peace. Mr.. Kitchener
received a vote of thanks from the COM
mittee for his suggestion.

NEGROES LEAVE PANA.
Only so Remain of the 200 I'M
ported From Alabama.

Pana, III, Aug. 25.-Contrary to pre-
dictions no lawlessness is being resorted
to by the striking white miners, al
though they have been reinforced by
the arrival of numbers of union miners
from over the state. John Mitchell, of
Spring Valley, Ill, national vice presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers; J.
w. Russell, of Danville, state vice
president; w. D. Ryan, state secretary
and treasury; President Cartright, of
Springfield district, and President Top
ham, of the Danville district, are here
advising with the strikers.
The officers express the opinion that
the remaining blacks, some fifty in all,
will leave the city in a few days after
learning the real situation. Mine OPP
orator PenweH stated today, however,
that it is the intention of the local Op-
orators association to have shipped in
$50 negroes from Alabama as soon as
possible. The sixty-fiVe negroes who
left the Springside mine camp yester-
day, have notified their friends at
Birmingham, Woodward and Bessemer,
Ala, of the conditions existing here,
advising them to have nothing to do
with any proposition to come to Pana.
The union miners sent 81 of the negroes
to Chicago last night in a special car
and twenty blacks to Alabama, while
several walked out of town in different
directions on the railroads during the
night.
State Mine Inspector Walter Rut-
tIedge of Alton, has arrived here and

for Insurance

Paris, Aug. 25-Ernest Joseph Possel,
the German who had been trying to
collect claim Of 900 upon life in
surance policy issued to his late wife,
an English woman, by the Urbaine In
surance company, which had resisted
payment on the ground that he had
thrown her off the cliff near Florence,
Italy. committed suicide last evening
at the Durand restaurant in the Place
De La Madeleine.
Possel who called himself the Mar
Quis De GondeVille and pretended to be
a French subject was under heavy bail
and the authorities had ordered the ex-
humation of the body of his wife.
The maiden name of Mrs. Possel was
Eleanora Beckett, and she was about
81 years old.
The couple had been staying at Flor
ence and one day Possel returned alone
from a drive saying that his wife fell
off the cliff on the edge of which she
was resting while he was mending his
harness.
They were married in England last
March and Possel insured her life al
most Immediately. 1t developed after
her body was found beneath the cliff
that Possel had been seen there several
days before, throwing down large stones
and watching their descent. The moth
er of Mrs. Possel, however, Stoutly
maintained that Possel was innocent of

COLUMBUS BONES.
Spain Will Try to Have Them
Carried Back Home.

Madrid, Aug. 25.-An agitation has
been started here for the purpose of in
serting in the treaty of peace a clause
providing for the return to Spain of the
remains of Christopher Columbus, lest
they should be used by the United
States as a trophy of war or else leased
to Barnum as a feature of his travelling
show, which would be a scandalous pro-
fanation. 1t is equally out of the ques-
ton to leave them in Havana in the
charge of the traitOrOus separatists.
If the United States gives way to this
demand on the part of Spain it will be
the fifth journey undertaken by the il
lustriOus navigator since his death.
Dying at Valladolid, he was buried
there Three years later he was ex-
humed and taken to a convent at Sc
vile; from thence, 80 years later, he
was transferred to the island of San
Domingo, and when the latter was ced-
ed by Spain to France by the treaty of
Basic, just 100 years ago, the body was
transferred to Havana.

PLETHORA OF MONEY.
In Kansas Banks Held Up by Mr.. P.
L Bonebrake at Denver.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 25.-The closing
session of the tWenty-fourth annual
convention of the American Bankers
association opened with full attend
auce. the election of officers being on
the programme.
After prayer by Rev. Father CARR
gan of st. Patricks church, William l.
Royal of Richmond, Va, read a paper
on 1.-The Need of Banking Facilities in
Rural Districts"
w S. Wood, of the National Bank Of
Commerce Of Kansas City, No, con-
demned the ideas advanced in Mr..
Royals address from first to last. He
declared that the west had seen enough
of currency issues by local banks. The
banking business, he asserted, was high
" developed all over the country. In the
east large commerce had led to the
establishment of banks of large cap
ital while in the west smaller commerce
had been satisfied with smaller banks
In the west banks were too plentlIul.
Competition had been so excessive, that
the banking business is not prontaple
and consequently in many cases not
safe. He advocated the branch pank
system as the remedy for the trouble.
Large city banks should absorb little
country banks; then a plethora OF
money could not exist in one Locality
while an unsatisfied demand existed in
another.
Mr.. Bonebrake of Kansas disagreed
with Mr.. Royals assertion that coun-
try districts lack banking facilities
especially in the west. He quoted fig
ures to show the amount of money in
the country banks in Kansas.
John P. Branch, president of the Mer-
chants National bank of Richmond,
Va, disagreed with all suggestions. He
favored permitting country banks to
issue currency on the same terms as
city banks.
