Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present. Past and Future.

The first monument to the dead in
the war with Spain has already been
built. 1t stands in the suburbs of
Cincinnati, and bears tablet to the
memory OF the Sixth Ohio volunteers.
1t guards the entrance to Fort Thomas.
1t is 100 feet high and upon either of
of the four sides is tablet 7x1O feet.
Now that the questions of war is
settled, or practically SO. the country
can turn to other things, such as in
dustrial improvements OF various kinds.
By the way, if the young mon OF the
country would undergo half the hard
ships in real work for the establish
ment Of industries here and there as
the soldiers have to bear, there
would be many a mandatory that is
never heard OF.
The safety of transportation is re-
duced to fine point where proper care
is taken. The way things are some
times smashed up on railroads would
indicate that few things are safe in
transportation. Much depends, how
ever, ON how goods are packed or pre-
pared for shipping. It was careful
crockery dealer who sent from one OF
the Atlantic states to missionary at
Teheran, Persia, last year 325 dishes
with only one dish broken when open
ed. The goods were seven months in
transit and we're carried 500 miles be
caravan.

If President Mckinley had done as
we'll in his appointments this year as
he has in matters of war, be would
have pleased the South better. Before
the war vas declared he did every thing
possible to avert it, but when once it
was declared he was not wanting q sln-
gle day in earnest effort to have the
conflict over as soon as possible. Nor
did he do anything that could be re-
gafded as lacking in prompt decision
In his policy towards Spain. But the
South VIII be slow to forget his policy
in appointments to post-office service.
He has perhaps appointed more negro
postmasters in the South than any
other President in twenty years.

The COMMON is very glad to
see so many indications that Populists
throughout the State are willing to
return to the Democratic party, the
true white mans party but we must
saw that it does not look exactly right for
them to come asking for certain favors
and nositions as an inducement for
then, to return. They left the Demo
cratic party, they said, in the interest
of good government and with no selfish
motives now let them ret,,rn in the
same way, for they ce rtainly have not
improved the government of the coun-
try by aiding popuIlsm and republic
anism. Let all come back In the hon.
est wish for better government, and
have no quibbles over what any one
shall receive for coming.
The law against cruelty to animals
is perhaps more generally disregarded
in this State than any other law on the
statute books. Men overload, over
drive. halt-starve and otherwise abuse
their teams ard go unmolested.
This is wrong and the good citizens
Of the State in every community ought
IN see to it that more attention is paid
to the observance of the law.
