The Old Garfield District.
The contest for the congressional nor,i
nation in the old Garfield district centers
in Cleveland because of the CONTIGUOUS
territory. More is heard of it now than of
other phases of politics, and the perennial
hanna and antf-Hanna echoes are awaken
ed The convention TO nominate success
sor to the late Representative Northway
meets october 4. The leading candidates
are Charles F. Dick of Summit county and
1homas II. Gflmer of Trurnbull county
Mr. Dick is secretary of the republican ma
uonal committee, and has been for the last
TWO or three years one of Senator Hanna's
trusted Heutenants. The republicans of his
own county, in their convention at Akron,
gave him unanimous Endorsement Dick
is lieutenant colonel in the Sth Ohio Volun-
teers. and has n two weeks record Of SOL
d1ef1ng at Santiago. He is doomed as the
soldier candidate, but it is doubtful if this
Will nave effect one way or the other His
personal popularity is the strongest factor
in his chances.
Mr.. Gilmer Is a leading LAWYER ar War
rem. He will have the support of Trum-
Dull county, which in the number of dele
gates will offset Dicks support Ii is not
certain that the other countieS-Ashtabula
portage and Geauga-wil present live can
oldates, though some dummies may be set
up. Ashtabula will have the largest num-
Der OF delegates, and. If they can be con-
trolled solidly. will dictate the nomination
Inc county is split into factions and
divided delegation is said to be probable
The MckissOn influence throughout the
district Will be concentrated against Dick
yet the nomination Of Gilmer or of some
dark horse would not mean an anti-Hanna
candidate. II would be simply the barren
satisfaction of defeating one of the sena-
tors lieutenants. Last summer, when
young Garfield failed to secure the nomi-
nation in an adjoining district this was
announced as a McKisson victory, because
Garfield had been a. prominent supporter Of
Hanna in the legislature. Judge Phillips,
the nominee, fastened to have it known
that he was not anti-Hanna. In the Ash
tabu a district Mr. Gilmer has already pro-
claimed that he is not in antagonism with
the national administration Like every
seeker after office, he Will welcome support
from all quarters. but he will not let HIM
self be placed in opposition to the power
that controls the post offices. If Dick fails
to receive the nomination 1t will probably
be a personal disappointment to Senator
Hanna. but it will not be a defeat The
significance of these contests for congress
sional nominations seems greater at 4 dis
tance than on the ground.

ficadiIIy Club of Cincinnati Honors
the Naval Hero.

disratCh from Cincinnati last night
says: The Picadilly club of this city, an
organization of the leading business men
had on exhibition at their meeting tonight
the loving cup which its executive com
mittee has provided 10 be presented to
Rear Admiral George Dewey.
Taking advantage Of the return of the
9th Infantry To Cincinnati The club in
vited the officers of that regiment to at
tend guests. an5 the dinner was made
one of thorough patriotic rejoicing ever
the glory of the army and ;he navy.
The Picadiiiy Club was in session in May.
when the news from Manila was received.
and it then ordered cup to be made. The
base represents the ocean, ont of whicn
rises Neptune, bearing. instead of his tri-
dent. a six-inch shell. Above this. IN
strong relief. is Mars then Victory with
her laurel wreath, and Aurmounting the
edge Of the cup rise- Fame. bearing the
palm for the victor. Tho motto inscribed
je simply, Dewey, Manila, May l. August
13 1S9S''
The cup is to be accompanied by letter
of cOngratulation. signed by the members
of the club.
Very little speechmaking was INDUCED
in. but Colonel Egbert of the 6th Infantry
said his regiment had reversed the mill
tary rule which prescribes that an in
trenched enemy must first be preached by
artillery, and then assaulted by infantry
or suffer aLnihilatiOn. The 6tn and its
companion regiments at San Juan hill as
saulted without artillery and drove the
enemy.
Captain kennon. who mad the honor Of
being among the first to plant oJr banner
on San Juan hill. said he had bur two or
ders in that battle from Colonel Egbert.
The first was 10 move forward. After
he had moved a long way forward the
second order came. 1t also was to move
forward. These words were now the mot
to of the regiment.
Senator Foraker reused the widest en-
tbusiasm by a ringing speech, in which he
spoke OF the great glory of the navy and
of the surprising achievements of the
army. He was warmly aDDlauded when
he said we were hereafter to have d larger
army and Increased navy. lie made
the assertion that If the regular army had
been kent UP 10 the strength of 2 hundred
thousand men from the lose of the civil
war till now the cost would have been fully
repaid by the effective work it could have
done in this war.

in Germany.
Consular Agent Neuer at Gera, Germany,
reports to the State Department that con-
tinually increased attention is given in Ger
many to the question of technical and in
dustrial education. The government as well
as mercantile corporations and municipaH-
ties are aiding this movement in every pos
Sible way. Schools are to be found in near
ly every large trade center, where the de-
tails entering into the manufacture of vari-
Gus classes of goods are taught, and the
Latest discoveries Of science and practical
experience is employed. OF this widely
spread system of technical and Industrial
education the weaving school in Gern forms
a branch. Wealthy manufacturers take a
deep interest in the institute and have aided
it from time to time by donations anu be-
quests. Moreover, the institute is support
ed by subscriptions, the fees of the stu
dents and an annuity Of 2.UGo marks {$476)
granted by the government. 1t has a prin-
cipa, and seven assistant teachers, WHO

The pupils are partly Young workmcn

weaving mills. and are divided into four
classes. The school is O2en twice a week:
on Sundays from I or y TO haif-Dast . or
10 o clock in the morning, and on Tuesdays
or Thursdays from to . O'clock in I1e
evening, thus not interfering with the usua
working hours of the students. -
The fee to be paid monthly by each pupil
amounts to only 81 nfennigs G21a cents,
