history. In 1924 the Federal press
reached the climax of its abuse and
vilification of people who opposed its
schemes OF Capitalization and polit-
ical slavery.
Private character was assailed
everywhere by the writers Of the
Federal newspapers; all men were
denounced as traitors and seditfon-
lists who believed in the untrammeled
right to Individual judgment and
action.
This furious fusilade continued
until 1882, when the Federal party
dissolved and the Whig party took
its place. For time the leaders OF
the Whig party were tolerant, but by
1874 the Wing press became virulent,
and began the wholesale denuncia-
tion of private character and the
personal and political honesty of its
| opponents, at the instance of clique
of powerful and unscrupolous men
who had gained control of its mach
inery.
In 1852 the Whig party died of its
own malignancy, and twoiyears later
the Republican party was organized.
For time its leaders were tolerant
and its newspapers presented argu-
ment instead of vituperation.
In 1892 the Republican press dug
up the files of the Federal and Whie
press and began the bombardment
of private character, being particu'
larly savage against the members OF
it's own party who were opposed tic
the mercenary schemes of its bosses
Year by year it became more and
more abusive until today it has be-
come the mere vituperative mouth
peace of lot of constituencies mer
who purchase the abuse of theil
fellow citizens by the column.
The leaders and the press of the
party have about reached their limit
and the next thing will be the disso.
luton of party which has become
clog upon the wheels of progress

Got His Price.

Rufus w. Lane, the contemplate
Cincinnatian who was elected to
the Legislature, last fall, by the
Democrats and Anti-Cox Repub-
licans, on platform pledging him
to vote against Hannaism of every
form and then turned himself over
body and soul to Hanna and voted
for that gentleman for United
States Senator, has been given an
other reward in order to keep his
mouth shut. Like Griffith and all
the other dishonorable and dishon-
ored wretches who regard "checks'
as of more consequence than honor,
his boss fears he may yet "peach'
and has to give him all he asks in
order to keep his mouth shut; for
there is yet danger lurking in the
contest proceedings in the United
States Senate, and Hanna will feel
safer with this fellow on the other
side of the globe. Yesterday al
Hanna's dictation this low and un.
principled persou-Rufus w. Lane
was appointed by the President
of the United States as Consul al
Smyrna. 1t is a good thing to have
the weak little chap sent so fal
away out of the country; but what
about the President of the United
States who poses as an honest mar
and sincere patriot and yet fills the
offices at his disposal with the
crooked tools OF Mark Hanna?

was monster benefit for the
families of soldiers and sailors. He
was wildly cheered when he APP
peared and throughout his address
the audience applauded again and
again.
A new point developed from his
talk on the experience of the Merri-
mac men. 1t was that the Span
iardS, after the sinking Of the
Merrimac, displayed tendency to
resort to inquisition methods to get
information from the prisoners.
An impertinent question was put
to the prisoners by an officer,
What followed is given in Hobson's
own words:
"One of the men, Charette," he
said, "spoke French. The Spanish
soldiers made significant sign
(the speaker indicated the leveling
of musket) but our seaman laugh
ed. (Appluuse),
"When the question was asked
What was the object of your COM
ing in here?' Charette, drawing
himself up said. In the United
States navy it is not the custom fol
a seaman to know or to ask tc
know the object of his superior
officer.'"
Ex-Secretarv of the Navy Nc
Adoo and General Woodford, min
ister to Spain, were among the
other speakers. Mrs. Hobson anC
her daughter, mother and sister o
Lieutenant Hobson, were in tn,
audience. Nearly $4,000 was raised
as result of the meeting.

Swish ! Thud!
And Senator Garfields Head Rolled
Into the Basket.

Subdued elation was generally
manifest in local Kurtz quarters to-
day at the result of the contest in
the Twentieth congressional dis
trict, when young James A. Gar
field, the right hand man Ex-senator
Hanna, was turned down Thursday
through the pressure of the Nc
Kisson influence.
Garfield will be remembered as
having taken an exceptionally
active part in the fight made upon
Hanna at the last legislative session
here. He was the champion of the
Doodle senator throughout the at
tack and crowned his efforts in the
end by sending in a minority re-
port when the investigation COM
mittee pronounced in substantia-
tion of the bribery charges against
the senator. Garfield in the pre-.
sent contest held the backing of the
entire Hanna machine and was op.
posed directly by the McKisson
element. While they had but one
candidate in the field and practic.
ally no chance to land him, they
arranged a deal whereby the con.
gressional aspirations OF young
Garfield were sent tglimmering.
In the fight were James A. Gar
field and Judge Phillips, of Medina

Don't forget that the man who ut
tered the worst and most reasonable
sentiments during the war, was Con-
gressman Grosvenor, of Ohio. He
declared over his own signature that
President Mckinley was forced into
an unjust, useless and foolish war by
the clamor of the people who ought
to be compelled to pay $4,000 100000
for their foollshness? He is candi-

stituents do not defeat him, they are
to be pitied indeed.

No Prosperity.

The Journal recently printed a long
dispatch from the Hooking Valleys
telling about the total suspension of
business in the mining regions and
the hard times that prevails. This
is in Grosvenor's district, and the

at the late Republican State Con-
vention has not yet reached his own
district.

OF course this is a Republican war,
just as the late war was. There were
no Democrats in the Civil War and
they were all Republicans that fell
before Santiago. Cuba ought to be
admitted as a state at once, so that
Gen. Grosvenor, Mark Hanna, ct al,
can go down and tell them how they
freed them just as they have been
telling the colored people for third
of a century.

loyal to the Newtown church and what
he believed to be his duty, he emphati-

the name of friendship that had only
grown stronger as the years passed
away, to shake again the welcome hands
of their friends, and wish them cOntin-

sat round the festive board, Joy shone
on each face, while the host and hostess
were afTAbility itself. Toasts we're drunk,
