Gratifying News from Ohio.

The news from Ohio is very crafty
ing for several reasons. Among the first
suggested to the mind is the probable de-
feat Of the attempt of handful of Re
publicans to turn a United States sem
atorship over to the enemy, or to fill
the office with one who should BE-
bound by obligations to the enemy. 1t
may be said that Il state convention
has no right TO attempt to bind the
state legislators whom it does not elect.
BE that as ii may it has been demon
of the vast majority of the Republican
party in that state. Not only hat but
he will represent the principles of Re
publicanism, whereas had another been
chosen by the methods that We're
used he would have been representa-
tive chiefly of Organism. Nor has it
been shown that the reluctant Ecpub-
licans had any good reason other than
personal advantage for voting against
nm. Not one oil tNtln tbulu nlcau
high sense Of duty as an excuse for his
cratic course. Mr. Kurt and some of
the others may have felt they. had
been personally wronged. but the Re
publicans of the country do not take
kindly to any attempt to place their
party under the yoke to tread out the
corn for any individual member or
clan If he have grievances let him
air them in the proper place if such can
be found. otherwise they have no place.
The struggle that has been going on
in the Ohio legislature was one which
reflected anything but credit on the
party politics there. But when the Re-
publican voters of the old Buckeye
state realized what was afoot they raj
lied in a way which redeemed the sit
uation. their party and their state
from what would otherwise have been
a disgrace. When the majority of Re
publicans in Ohio shall choose to elect
a man in Mr.. Hannas stead they Will
find a way to do it without leaving it
for eight or ten legislators elected by
Republicans to call in the assistance Of
the Democratic party and its colrup-
ton fund to effect the purpose.

4 Fraqment.

Friend. if you seek the soul OF life
You must endure the whole of life.
You must not shirk the pain and strife.
The pangs that bite like caustic dust
The griefs that clog the heart with rust.
The duties that command. You must.
Fen to the very gates of death.
Heed not the soothing voice that saith.
This work delay and pause for breath.
Heed not the languor that allures-
This moment said the sage, lis yours
And only this: no more endures'
And. friend, bind not your faith to joy;
The idIest instant may destroy
Your hearts delight. A word may cloy
Tho music of the sweetest song.
TO song the joys of life belong;
y moment ringing. pure and strong,
Then dying like an echo drowned
In some great. raging storm of sound
or Gushing winds and waves and ground
o Joy we heard you yesterday
Thrilling Il loVc-lorn roundclay--
And now. and NOW, Oh. Whcrcaway?

We have it on no less authority than
Bishop Leonard of Nevada that the
Indians never use profane language
until they learn English and become
''civilized." We wonder where they
learned to torture their victims. While
burning at the stake was known in the
old world before ever the new was dis
covered it has not been thought pos
sibIe the red men, aborigincS. who res
gartlcd the white men as ambassadors
from God until they learned to their
sorrow otherwise, could have been in
formed of it. Anyhow burning at the
stake was known To the whites before
the red men were and is occasionally
practiccd by them now that the red
men have practically ceased from
offending in that manner 1t seems al
so worthy of comment as we think of
the capacity of i"ndshnrss in ia"
human being in a white skin that last
week there were numerous harharunS
lypchin-s. in which the whites were
the lynchers. and this week Their" was
a most brutal murder committed in the
state of Massachusetts presumably by
the white man who was hired on the
farm.

Demaaogism.

We recall no speech ever before made
by Mr. Bryan in which the demagog-
ism. naked and unahashed. figured $
prominently as in his address on Jack
sons day in Chicago. In the first place
Bryan nor a Bryante has any more
right at the shrine of Andrew Jackson
than voudoo priestess has to assume
the role of a Christian missionary. He
was Il gold bug of gold bugs. But tbs
Bryanites would write in lying char

statue erected in his memory. He
fought the United States bank and
the fanatics who hate a banker be
cause of the name represent jackson
as preaching the same theory they
would spread, when there is no rela-
ton whatever between the two qucs-
tons.
only the other day a business agency
collected statistics which showed that
more than a half million people ar
employed today who were practically
out of employment when Bryan wa
