Before the coming week ends there may
be another mayoralty candidate in the race,
backed by ticket for aldermen and police
commissioners.
According to the rumor on which this
statement is based, the new candidates will
be put out by the Pastors union and what
they term the moral element of the city.
Dispensary the Issue
The platform on which these candidates
will make the race will be DISPENSARY.
Until the present stage of the city CAM
paign, the dispensary question has not
been agitated except in an verse sense.
The German-American union mad it in
cluded in it's list of questions sent to the
different candidates and they endorsed
the man who said he was opposed to 1t.
1t is said that since the action of the
German-American union the Pastors union
has been considering the question of plac-
ing full ticket in the field for city offices.
The matter has been kept very quiet and
only leaked out last night along with the
announcement that the dispensary advo-
Gates would take the issue to the consti-
tutional convention. 1t is said that the

Workshop GleaninSs.
At an adjourned session of the Massa-
chusetts grand lodge, held the last of
June, the proposition TO so amend their
grand lodge laws as to bring them into
conformity with the position of the su-
preme lodge and with the legislation of
the state was presented and adopted by
a vote of $50 affirmative to 66 negative.
The proposition was then submitted to
make the adoption unanimous, and it re-
ceived the votes of all but three of the
members of the grand lodge. This ends
the Massachusetts episode. The juris-
diction is now fully in line and harmony
with its sister jurisdictions, with the su-
preme lodge and with the laws of the
state.
The man who is careful and conscien-
tious enough to make provision for those
dependent upon him is likely to be care
full and conscientious in other things and
has within his grasp the means of pres
ent happiness and of happiness at the
end of life.

NO DEAD ISSUES.

There was time when Washing
ton Mclean, as owner and editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, opposed
several prominent Democrats of
Ohio something after the fashion
that the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
of uncertain ownership and
more uncertain control, is now
opposing the Hon. John R. Mclean.
1t is to be hoped and there is good
proof that the elder McLean's Oppo-
sition was of more unselfish kind
than that which is bringing the Plain
Dealer into i'll repute with the
Democratic party.
But since Mr.. John r. Mclean has
been in control of the Enquirer no
man could question its loyalty to the
Democratic party or Democratic
leaders. 1t has done more than any
other influence in the great central
states to crystalline the sentiment
that found expression in the plat
form of principles adopted at Chicago
and prepared the way for the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Bryan.
Such is the record of the Enquirer
under the control of John R. Nc
Lean. How can it be assailed?
Every true friend Of the Chicago
platform and Mr.. Bryan must admit
that this is no year for Ohio's
Democratic forces to be divided
by the rehearsal of personal
quarrel which happened in the
last generation. But if the newspa-
pers that are part of the Hanna
bureau, including the wayward
Plain Dealer of Cleveland, can find
pleasant occupation in exhuming
the remains of the dead and forgot
ten past, who would hinder them?
They will have nothing but their
labor for their pains, and-in the
rugged language of our amiable Re-
publican friend, Col. Burlison-"the
stencil which always clings to the
dog that digs up rotten bones.''
Ohio people have living issues to
consider in this campaign. They
will waste no time on dead ones.

adjusted so that they are equitable and
will insure the perpetuity of the institu-
ton, and there need be no hesitation in
asking men to become members of this
