SENATOR HANNA.

After Tuesdays vote at Colum bus the
result of the joint ballot on Wednesday
was not surprise, though Kurtz and
Myers confidently claimed victory to
the end. From the instant the full
enormity of the great conspiracy to
dishonor the Republican party became
known the feeling grew stronger in the
breasts of the loyal Republican hosts
of Ohio that such an upholy cause mus,
fail.
In the heat of the strife Senator Han
ma stood calmly and with a dignified
bearing, confident that he would in the
end be not betrayed. 1t is supreme
test which he has undergone, and he
comes out of it with added laurels tc
his manhood, and victory on his bar.

IT is with great apparent delight
that certain patriotic so-called Ameri-
cans point to the deficit of sA5, 900, 600
for the first half of the fiscal year as
due to the Dingley law. 1t is found
by reference, however, to the Treas
ury receipts that during the last four
months of the operations of the Wilson
law nearly s4O,OOO,O 600 in excess of the
normal receipts was poured into the
Treasury, owing to excessive importa-
tions to escape the increased duties of
the Dingley law. This O,OOO, 600
would otherwise have come in under
the new law, and there would have
been little if any deficit. The Dingley
law is, however getting rapidly on it's
feet and its friends are satisfied to
smile at these Democratic screams,
knowing full we'll that they cannot en-
dure long.

THAT the year passed has been a
good one from business standpoint is
shown by the figures on business fail
ures as compared with those of pre-.
ceding years. The total number OF
failures of firms, individuals, banks
and other corporations throughout the
United States reported for the year
just ended was 1909, or more than
1000 less than in 1896, or IS per cent
The decrease was Is per cent from
1S9S the panic year, and 2.3 less than
even 1891, which was admittedly a re-
markably prosperous year.

the so-called failure of the Dingley law
to produce enough revenue to meet the
monthly expenses during the fall
months are highly delighted at the
December figures, which show sur
plus of nearly two millions. Their
jubilance, however, seems to be pecu-

Muskingum Township Farmers Club

Muskingum Township Farmers Club
Met at the home of Israel Devol on
Saturday, January sth. Corinne Stowe
recited "The School Exhibition" nicely.
Hattie Devol answered the Query cor
rectly. Prof. Phillips read paper on
the imminent partition of China. He
justified the proceeding on the broad
grounds of the pre-eminent right of the
highest civilization to extend them
selves over all lands. whose people
show little or no capacity for such civi.
lization, and in the nature of the case
the advanced nations must be the
judges of when and how this shall be
done. Upon the regular question
"Plans for the coming Year" w. y.
Devol said work we'll planned is hall
done. A farmers work for the year
should be we'll considered. The first
and most important is to maintain the
fertility of his lands. His stock oi
manure or other fertilizer should be
carefully saved and judiciously applied.
Next arrange for your labor and see
that you have enough, you are apt to
need more than you think. The seed
you will need should be had early.
Use only good seed. Arrange your
fields for economic tillage, getting SO
near as possible the same kind of soil
in each field. Notice what repairs or
Improvements your buildings or fences
may need. Have these matters so in
hand that the regular farm force can
do them at odd times, if possible. Then
plan such further adornments of your
house and grounds as you wish.
j. j. Strecker on Preparation for
Crops" said "As a general rule plow
your land prepare it for crops on the
assumption that the season will be dry.
You will then be in the best form for
any kind of season."
1t was thought by the older members
that the lands of this community are,
at least, as fertile as they have ever
been. They are producing better crops
now than fifty years ago, when their
virgin fertility was somewhat reduced.
