Senator Mark Hanna, Republi-
can boss and patron saint of the
administration party in Ohio, adj
mits he has very nasty fight on
his hands over there. This signi-
fioant interview appears in the
Washington Star, rampant adj
ministration organ:
When asked by Star reporter
about the situation in Ohio he re-
piled:
1--WE are having a hot fight-a
very hot fight"
6Do you mean to say it is hot
enough to be threatening the Re-
publicans2" he was asked
III always look on the dark side
when in close fight"
"Then you consider the contest
seriously closer"
Eyes, it is very close, hot and
determined fight"
Even Hanna is beginning to re-
alize that the Republican party is
up against the real thing, and that
from now on to election day the adj
ministration is to fight for it's life.

rho Three Reasons.

Inhis address at Dallas, Texas.
Tuesday evening, Mr.. Bryan dis.
oussed some new issues, among
them imperialism, and in the course
of his remarks he happily said.

fend imperialism, but when you get
man who has the audaoity to de-
fend an imperial policy you viii
find that he will make one of three
defenses. have never heard of
but three defenses of imperialism.
The first is the financial argument
that there ismoney in it. The SEQ
ond is the religious argument that
God is in it. The third is the po-
litical argument that we are in it
and can't get out oft. (Laughter)
These are the only three reasons
that 1 have ever heard given"
We might have added to these
the additional reason" that the
administration relies largely upon
this unnecessary war to carry it
through the next campaign,
through much waving of the stars
and stripes and the invoking of
the patriotism of the people to up
hold the government, otherwise

CHARLESTON, Oct. 4th, 1902
The political pot has not begun to
boil Yet, though the fires are quite
warn beneath the same. Soon
they will be rekindled and it will
begin to simmer, then bubble
trouble, double trouble There is
at present more activity among the
Rep blicans than Democrats, but
it's The knife they are using, and
some are using it about the heart,
strings of their nearest and best
friends in and about the Capitol
building. Your correspondent is
not hn instrument of the weather
COCK Persuasion, but if we read the
stars Alright we would judge from
ere fJresant indications that the
present handsome Secretary of
State, Mr.. w. M. o. Dawson, will
be the poor unfortunate who will
head the Republican ticket in the
next great fight, and that the pres
emit occupant of the State House
chair, Governor Geo. w. Atkinson,
will be the nominee for the Su-
preme Court bench. Geo. Poffen-
barger, of your town, is well
thought of for the place, but it is
the opinion of those highest in au-
thority that he had better stay at
home and try being Justice of the
Peace awhile first before aspiring
to this great office. Cyrus w. Hall,
now Judge of the Criminal Court,
this city, is the latest buIletined
candidate for Auditor. He will
likely receive the nomination and
go down in the disaster with
the rest, before triumphant and
victorious Democracy. just now
the Democrats are most busy get
ting together again for the coming
great fight. With Davis, Menager
or any other good man, the Demo
cratic party will win again as of old,
in 1900, On every hand, which
ever way you turn, you hear the
whispered determination of the
Democrats to win, while the Re-
publicans are on the contrary, are
blue and disconsolate. Byrd Hill
is about the most hopeful of any
of the Republicans. He will be
candidate for promotion next time,
going to go before the next Repub-
lican Convention for State Senate.
He is a good man to lead, to such
a sacrifice, for the Fifth Senatorial
District will surely go Democratic
next year With the Democrats it
is not so much as to who the NOM
inees will be. There are plenty of
good men for the places to the fill
ed, and they will be named when
the time comes, harmony being the
prevailing point, and being upper
most in the minds and 'hearts of
the mon of the party. ID.

Evening.
N. JENNIE VAN 81 ATRE.

The sun is slowly sinking,
on his home, far in the West;
And he brightens all the landscape,
AS at last he goes to rest.
And the COWS are family lowing,
AS they're driven slowly home,
From the meadow cool and shady,
Where they love to lie alone.
And the Whippoorwill is singing,
His sad and mournful song,
And the boy he cheerily whistles,
AS hedrives the COWS along.
And when daylight has faded,
And the dusky twilight wanes,
The insects hum their glad adieus,
And then dame slumber reigns.
And all nature seems reposing,
And the dew begins to fall,
Then the moon in glorious splendor
Calmly rises over all.

old Glory.
prM JENNIE VI MArRn.

By NJ. JEENIE yAS MArRE.
Three cheers for Old Glory,
Was the cry that rang from many
victors lips,
AS the defeated Spaniards looked
upon
Their wrecked and useless ships
AT the battle of Santiago,
When Old Glory rose high above all.
How bravely they fought ON that day,
The ones that loved her,
How many of them now lay
In an unmarked grave,
On Spanish soil far away.
But of those who lived throught it,
How many to- day3
lyon would ask them the question
How quickly they'd say,
That Old Glory as she rose over all
Repaid them thousand times,
For their brothers who had to fall.

In few years from now tho sys-
tenn of locks and dams now being
built on the Ohio river, will have
been completed. The looks will
be longer and wider, than those
on the Kanawha, admitting of
a greater number of boats and
barges to pass through at one time,
and they will be operated by cleo
tricity, to the great saving of both
time aud expense. 1t now takes a
passenger packet on an average of
about nine minutes to go through
a look on the Kanawha. The.work
will be greatly expedited. The
Register would advise the farmers
who own low lands, creek bottoms,
etc, that would be reached by rea-
son of the locks and dams being
built, to sell the same when they
can do so to advantage. When
slack water navigation is had in
the Ohio, the usefulness of much
valuable land will be destroyed by
the water backing up.

No Trutn in the REPORT.

Some one, for a malicious pur-
pose, and to get up bad feeling
against the town, started report
that property owners of this town
had combined together to raise the
rents on tenement houses. We
have interviewed q number of prop
erty owners in this regard, and
every one said there was no truth
in the report, as they had no inten-
ton of raising the rents on their
houses, and had never notified the
occupants that they had suoh a
thing in view. The houses in this
town are now renting at about the
same prices they have always been;
The inclination of the property own
ers is to reduce rather than raise
the rents. Nearly every owner of
tenement house will put water in
to the premises, and will not think
of asking the renter to pay the cost
of the hydrant. We hope our rail
road people who became alarmed
over the report, will now see the
injustice that has been done our
people, and will become reconoiled
to the fact that rents will not be
raised-but conveniences increas.
