Voice of the Presidents state.

The democracy of the presidents
state has spoken on the paramount
issues of the times. There are two
main planks in the Ohio democratic
platform:
"First-We heartily reafiim the en-
tire Chicago platform of 1896. and We
especially emphasize the financial
plank therein, and we continue to de-
mand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold as equal in primary
money at the ratio of 16 to l, indie
pendent of all other nations in the
world"
"Second-Hon. William j. Bryan
still retains our entire confidence,
and we demand his nomination in
1900"
These two declarations carry with
them the true spirit of democracy,
and the statements that have been
published in all the republican papers
of the United States that the demo-
cratic party seeks to repudiate Bryan
on the principles which he has so elo-
9uently and forcibly championed are
thus successfully refuted. The de-
mocracy of Ohio voices the sentiments
of the democracy at large now and as
they will be a year hence.

The Useless Philippine War.

The Boston Herald turns the search
light of truth upon the presidents
responsibility for the Philippine war.
The Hub City Journal says of the
war:
Politically, it seems to US that this
must injure President Mckinley with
the American people. With him lay
the creation or the avoidance Of the
war, and the manner in which he met
this responsibility has not been fortu-
nate for himself or the nation. In the
opinion of many who believe in ma
tional expansion the president has lis
tened to bad advice in the course he
has taken. 1t can hardly be regarded
as an error of judgment on his part in
any other aspect, for he has had no
policy of his own-we do not under
stand him ever to profess to have had.
He is the subject of criticism for hav-
ing failed to so conduct our national
affairs as 10 have prevented the war,
and 6f[course the longer the war con-
tinues the greater will be the dis
satisfaction of this kind among the
PEG ple.A It, has<to be confessed that
the effects of it are apparent already.
The president is less popular in the
country than he was, and the people
are more inclined to be impatient I'M
der the wars prolongation.
Even with expansionists he is
severely criticised because of the con-
spicuous lack of ability he has shown"

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
com bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimo-
malls, free.

Oriental Judgment on Mixed Babies.

The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide a case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous judgment. By n strange
coincidence a woman and her daughter
both gave birth to a female child at the
same time. But the babies got mixed,
and, as one of them was ugly and the
other pretty and healthy, both mothers
claimed the latter. The elder woman
maintained that, as all her other chill
dren were handsome, the ugly child
could not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that, being young, handsome
and strong. she could not be the moth
err of a weak and ugly babe.
The religious chief of the town set
tied the affair in n summary way. He
adjudged the beautiful child to the
daughter on the ground that, 1t being
her first. the occasion was not to be
made one OF humiliation and disap-
pointment, while the elder mother
could afford to forego her claim since
she had already had several handsome
children.-Constantin Malumat.

Inauguration of Wylerism may
strike the average citizen of this

that they should be free and indie

After the whole Of the U. s. i'm
migration laws are extended to
these Islands, assisted" emf
grants will not be permitted to
land from foreign countries. And
then laborers will have to be
sought in other ways.
Meanwhile is II not best to
keep the control of the lmmigra-
ton, and at the same time pursue
a course which will compel seek.
ing laborers from other sources ?
It should be borne in mind that
after the U. 8. laws are in force
the bringing Of laborers from the
United States to these Islands
will not be assisting FOREIGN
emigrants.
Steps should be taken to induce
American farm laborers to come
here.
The increasing number of Japa.
nese laborers in these islands,
and especially gathered in large
number in isolated places, lie a
growing menace to the public
peace and safety.
am Of the opinion that hereto
fore the contract system has been
great protection to the commu-
mites of these Islands. It has
been in the nature of police re-
gulstion, and has been an i'm.
portant factor in preserving law
and order.
1t has also been a protection to
the laborers. The law provides
for the enforcement of the con
tract against the lsborer.
