ETThe attempt of a few democratic
organs to make the senatorial cleo
ton last winter an issue in this fall
campaign will be signal failure, from
a democratic standpoint. Everyone
knows the facts in connection with it.
Everyone is familiar with the dis
graceful combine which was organ
lied to defeat Senator Hanna, and
which was abctted to the best of their
ability by the democratic organs of
the state. The iafamy of that com
binc will not be forgotten and the ef-
fort of the democratic party to make
the election of Senator Hanna an is
sue again this fall will react with tell
ing effect on them.-Ohio State Jour

ONE lesson of the war is that ships
are no match for land batteries. Some
81, 000 600 was wasted when the Amer
lean fleet at Santiago attempted to re-
duce the forts. The hundreds of shots

harmless. What might have been the
result had the forts contained good
guns and good gunners?

SHORT sight is more common il town
than among country folk, for the SIM
pie reason that townspeople have less
need for long sight, they have fewer
opportunities for exercising their
sight on distant objects, and their oc-
cupations do not favor its develop
ment by training or selection. but t
is not, in the majority of cases proof
of physical degeneracy, as can be seen
in the case of the Germans, who are a
VIGOROUSLY short-sighted people.

Policy Says An Englishman.

London, October 20.-The Rt. Hon.
Lson Courtenay, former deputy speaker
of the House of Commons and now a
Unionist member of Parliament for the
Bodwin division Of Cornwall, speaking
at Tideford, Cornwall, this evening said
that one of the consequences of the war
with Spain upon the American people
had been to create a spirit which must
in the near future lead to great trans.
formation of American character and
policy.
"Instead of being self contained. in
dusurious, peaceful and non-aggressive
people, said Mr.. Courtenay, "the Anne
ricans, If the take the sovereignty in Cuba,
will have to keep a large naval and mill
tary force in order to make the influence
of the United States felt. Although the
American members of the peace commits
sion have declared that the United States
do not want Cuba or the Philippines,
the history of our own country has shown
that when once there was an occupation
the intention to leave after disorder has
been righted, has seldom been put into
5xecution.
"The war emphasizes the necessity OF
the peace proposals of the Czar. II there
had been an organized tribunal to settle
international quarrels the Hispano-Ame.
