by Mr.. Hanna's adversaries in yester-

to get the necessary seventy three votes

The result is satisfactory to those who

THURSDAY. JANUARY 10, 1898.
Sueakinc of the Garfieids.

~HE man who presented the name
of McKisson in yesterdays joint
session at Columbus wove into
his speech the remark that IL James
IA Garfield were a member Of the sem
ate he would certainly cast his vote for
Mckisson.
That depends If James 4. Garfield
had been 2 member Of 0hios senate
yesterday and if he We're out of office,
the first thing he would have done
would be 10 cast about to see il there
want a senatorship in it for Garfield,
as d compromise between the two
rivals.
4 james A. Garfield had the name of
looking out for Garfield after that fash
ion He sat in the republican national
convention of 1880 as the leader of the
Ohio forces for John Sherman. The
ballots ran along. with Grant and
Blaine in close rivalry. Sherman was n
coed third and he was in handsome
shape to get the benefit of the break
when it came. as manifestly IL was
bound to come. on several ballots Gar
field received one vote. sherman held
his own handsomely through thirty-hNe
memorable ballots.
When there was a sudden sort Of
turning on the part of some Of Blaine -
supporters to Garfield, he didn't stand
out as firmly as some men would have
done under like circumstances for Sher-
man. nor did he say that he felt bound
To be loyal to the candidate from his
own state who had shown strength nm
broken in all the ballots. Garfield had
his lightning rod up all the time. HaY-
ing risen to seventeen votes on the
thirty-fomrth ballot, he received the
bulk of Blaines strength. scoring three
hundred and ninety-nine votes and the
nomination on the thirtysixth ballot.
In this country We're tens of thousands
of men whose assertion is was that, in
this emergency Garfield did not do the
square thing.
A son of James A. Garfield Is an Ohio
senator He made loud announcement
of the fact that IL he found any traces
of Hannas money in the senatorial cleo
sion. he would renounee Hanna and join
the opposition. Everybody knows that
distinct charges of bribery We're made
in Columbus with square offers To prove
that Hanna had tried more than once &c
purchase support.
Senator Garfield VAS opposed to the
consideration Of the charges before the
vote was taken yesterday-it was an
inquiry into which, somehow, he did not
seem inclined 10 enter More than that

session, and after Hanna was declared
elected he was one of the few republi

The Dear People.

r~HAr circumstances alter cases is

with which the Ohio legislature

The Wheat of 1898.

~HE price of wheat as measure
of prosperity is going to be put
To "a severe test next fall. If q
republican administration had anything
to do with the price of 1897 wheat. 1T
ought to do much better by the wheat
of 1898. But the chances are that the
natural conditions Of 1897 will not be
repeated in 1898, and that in conse-
uuence the bottom will be knocked out
from under the present gratifying
prices. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has
been making some Investigations into
the subject and 1t finds an enormous
and unpreee dented acreage of wheat
has been put into shape for 1898 by the
farmers. They have actually drilled in

IT appears that the government at
| Washington is buying much Salu-
able information in regard To the
life, times and usefulness of the rein
deer. The appropriation for klondike
relief included many thousand dollars
set apart for the Importation of rein
deer from Norway and for the cost of
transporting them across the continent.
The plan WAS To carry the animals in
freight cars from New York to the
Pacific coast. As the reindeer have
long branching antlers, the problem of
how to pack them in freight cars
troubles the authorities. and il is seri-
ously proposed that the reindeer should
be dehorned before leaving Norway.
Nothing could he more absurd or show
more clearly the lack of understanding
as to the reindeers habits. The princi-
pal value Of the animals in such regions
as the klondike is that they can forage
for their own food through numherless
feet of SNOW, digging UP the arctic moss
with their antlers As well give up the
project Of transporting these useful
animals for purposes Of suceor 10 the
Alaskan exiles as IL deprive them of
their principal means of subsistence at

Buckeye infant draws from its mother S
