TIE nHIO.CAMPAIGN

If the President of the United States
is to be dragged into the Ohio cam
paign, as appears inevitable, the Re-
publicans in the over-the-river State
must be driven to desperate straits
and have a well-founded conviction
that there is grave danger of the cleo
ton of John Mclean, as Governor
The Republican majorities In Ohio, the
past few years, have been literally
overwhelming, and yet, with all the
advantages of a favorable National
Administration, and with the added
glories of the Philippine war, there ap-
pears to be a suspicion on the part
of the 6. o. p. leaders that there may
be slip in the cog and that Nash may
be defeated, in which event McKinley's
chance for a second term will not be
worth considering. Under this fear
anAbressure such folks as Teddy
Roosevelt have been run into the
State, only to become laughing stock
for sensible people. The spectacle of
President Mckinley being called upon
to save the day in State campaign
in an off year is a sad one, yet well
illustrates the desperation to which Re
publicans are driven in these imperial
istic times. By all means the admin
iStratiOn ought to summon Alger to
the rescue. His presence would be an
imposing spectacle, and Hanna tap
ping his ''barl' would add to the dra-
matte effectiveness of the scene.

If any credibility attaches 10 the reports
which were in circulation before and since
the recent Republican Councilmanic eau
Gus, modesty is not one of the distinguish
ing virtue OF the Richie Republicans.
From time immemorial the benighted vot-
ers in Squire Schultz's bailiwick have
been rolling up big majorities for the
ticket, and nominations by the Democrats
have been merely an empty formahty. 1t
has always been a question simply of ma
jority down there, and in close contests
the leaders have always turned to the
Eighth for hope, and have seldom been
disappointed. just as the Democrats, in
the good old days, chung tenaciously to
their claims until the returns were all in
from Wetzel. Party leaders in the ward
have been brought 10 realization of the
fact that the staunch loyalty of the Eighth
has been a prominent factor in all the re-
cent Republican victories in Ohio county
When this light dawned upon them
there was born an appetite for office viii h

In fact it is charged that the Eighth ward
politicians are manifesting a porkish spirit
with reference to the disposition of the
spoils of victory. A case in point was fur
nished prior to the caucus for the selec-
ton of members of the city gas board.

WAR ALnlosT CERTAIN.

Despite pacific kilograms during the
last ten days, the drift of affairs be-
tween England and the Transvaal has
been steadily towards war, and the la
test adyices, while still holding out a
lingering hope for diplomatic arrange
ment of existing differences, really in
dictate that peace thoughts must be
given UP, and that bloody and porten-
tious struggle is inevitable.
OF the two countries the Transvaal,
with the support of Natal, is best pre-
pared to meet the issue. and has been
right along. England's immense re-
sources, however, will soon even mat
tiers up as to troops, but not before her
forces may have been overwhelmed in
preliminary encounters. The Beers are
understood to have fifty-five thousand
men capable of taking the field at once,
while Natal smay be counted upon for
ten thousand more. Before the .situa-
ton became at all acute England had
about six thousand men at the Cape,
which was gradually increased to nine
thousand. Recently this force has been
augmented, but still it is very doubt
full if England can gather ten thousand
men for active operations during the
next ten days, while maintaining es-
sential garrisons. There is some talk
of enlisting hordes of natives on the
British side. but this sort OF auxiliary
force is always uncertain and unreIi-
able.
If war comes-and it appears newt
albeit is not unreasonable 70 expect
Dutch success at the outset. VIVA. will
happen later on is uncertain.

These New York figures have not
been approached for long time past,
and yet they will doubtless prevail TO
greater or less extent until there IS
return movement of currency from
the West and considerable importa-
tons of gold, now ordered, arrive. The
vast number of people in New York

money market to very considerable
extent, for the two millions or two

tainly leave fifteen millions of outside
cash behind them when they depart.

Readable Items From the Town

Ham. Bigley, Democratic candidate
for county commissioner, was in town
yesterday meeting the voters. Mr.. Big
ley will run best where best known, and
he mas the happy faculty of winning
friends wherever he goes. The con-
sentative element in either party are
convinced that minority representa-
ton on the Board of Commissioners
would be good policy from business
standpoint, and for this reason the
Democratic candidate will be given
handsome support here Mr.. Bigley' S
ample experience and sound business
judgment, together with his sterling
honesty, fits him beyond question for
the responsible duties of commissioner.
The record of Mr.. Wilkinson, who
stands for reelection, will be no bar
rier to the running qualities of Mr..
Bigley.

RECENT COMMENT.

COMMISSIONS WITHOUT END.
Peoria Herald Transcript.
President Mckinley seems to have the
same faith in commissions that Dr. San
grade had in bleeding-they are universal
specific. He has never neglected an OPP
portunity to appoint d commission and if
a single one of them has done anything
that justifes itself history is silent. For
foreign complications there have been
commissions.
1t took commission to find out what
was the matter over in Hawaii, in Cuba,
in Porto Rico, in the Philippine islands.
1t took commission to obtain the privi-
lege of ending the war with a conquered
enemy by paying $4,000, 900 A commission
of peace has been nosing around in the
Philippines while war was going on and it
is only now that it has been discovered to
be out of place. Industrial troubles in ths
country demanded commission. And of
all the frauds perpetrated on the American
pubic that industrial commission was per-
haps the worst.

WHAT IT WILL COST.

WHAT IT WILL COST.
Cleveland Leader.
If. as estimated, a million strangers have
been attracted to New York by the Dewey
celebration, it will not be difficult to count
the cost of the celebration.
The average cost of railroad transporta-
ton and hotel accommodation to these
million visitors cannot be much less than
forty dollars, and incidental expenses will
probably bring the average up to fifty dol
lars. This is fifty millions OF dollars to be
paid by the visitors. to say nothing of
what the celebration viii cost the people
of New York.
There can be no question as to the inan-
cial resources of a country or the prosper
ity of its people when a small fraction of
them can afford to spend such vast sum
for the pleasure of helping pay tribute to
a naval hero. There are few other coun-
tries. if any, in which such a thing would
be possible and it is doubtful if there ever
assembled in this country on a similar &C.
casion such a crowd as will be in New
York to-day and tomorrow to cheer
Dewey.

OPERA HOUSE Monday and Tuesday,

For a Woman's Sake" attracted a
large audience to the Grand Opera
House yesterday afternoon, and last
night Nat C. Goodwin's famous sue
cess, In Mizzoura," was produced to a
large and very appreciative crowd, who
applauded the many meritorious fea-
lures of the play. the capable acting.
the excellent scenic effects and the
pleasing specialties introduced between
acts. This afternoon the powerful neio-
drama, "A Struggle for Cold" will be
on the boards. Tonight, by special re-
quest, the company will repeat the sue
cess of the opening night, The Min
ister's Son." the play constructed by
Mr.. w. D. Patton, which is one of the
strongest dramatic offerings in the
high class repertoire of the company.
A good-sized audience assembled at
the Opera House last night to witness
the first presentation in this city of
new farce comedy entitled Browns In
Town" 1t is not as funny as some
farces with which it has been compared
and which it is said to resemble, but it
is nevertheless very pleasing play,
and the audience last night was kept
in good humor by the ludicrous COM
plications into which the plot placed
the principals. One of the best things
in the production is the specially by
Mr.. Kennedy. in the last act Mr..
Kennedy is an accomplished pianist,
and one of the most skillful dancers
who has ever appeared on the Opera
