STAND UP, MR.. SHEETsl
Will There Be q Change of Policy as
to Trusts, In Ohio?

Mr.. Frank Monnett, Attorney Cen
eral, has been one of the most faithful
public officers this State has ever
known. He has made persistent and
successful warfare upon all great tax
dodgers and trusts, and has made them
pay hundreds of thousands of dollars
into the Treasury. The Telegraph,
Telephone, Express, Insurance, Stand
ard Oil and other wealthy corporations
that had been avoiding the payment Of
their taxes, he has brought to time,
and they have had to walk up to the
Treasurer's Office and pay their taxes
like poor folks.
The result of this has been that Mr..
Monnett has aroused the enmity of
these millionaire tax kleptomaniacs,
and they threatened to defeat him if he
were renominated. The Republican
party found it very convenient to drop
him at the end of his second term, and
nominated Mr.. John M. Sheets, of
Putnam, instead of making a campaign
to vindicate Mr.. Monnett's battle for
the people. Perhaps that was politics,
but it was not brave. Heroes should
be rewarded in political life as well as
in war. Mr.. Sheets comes from the
Standard Oil regions, and has there
fore been charged with being the
Standard Oil Company's candidate. 1t
would be just as sensible to charge a
Logan county farmer with being the
candidate of whisky ring, because he
raised corn. But Mr.. Sheets will have
to clearly define his position when he
gets on the stump. A Chicago dis.
patch of Wednesday, contains an allu.
sion to him that requires his immediate
attention.
Mr.. Monnett has been after the
National Steel Company, of Chicago
having notified them that they are
liable to action under the antitrust
laws of this State. One of the Direct
ors of the Company speaking of this
notice says:
''We do not admit that we are trus
within the meaning of the statutes
since we are not organized to fix prices
of Bessemer steel or to restrict compe
tition. !. There will probably be 6
change of administration in Ohio this
November, and we do not intend tt
borrow any trouble until we have to-
This is plainly an intimation tina
there will be change of policy in thi
State towards Trusts, after the Novem
Der election, and that,Mr. Monnett ant
his policy will, step down and out
Therefore the Trusts will borrow nj
trouble!
This gentleman cannot refer to tn
Democratic candidate, for he is not ye
nominated. His intimation is that tn
Republican candidate, Mr., Sheets, will
be a man of another kind, from Mr.
Monnett. Has he any reason for hi
faith? We hope not. Let Mr.. Sheet
tell the people just where he stands
and stop the mouth Of this Chicag
Trust Director. The people are in n
mood to be sold out to the Trusts, an
they want straight goods.

The healthy old man wears his gray hairs
like silver crown. What II he be threescore
and ten if there is still fire In his eye, frmness
in his step, command in his voice and wisdom
in his counsel He commands love and rev.
erence. Yet how few wear the mantle Of age
with dignity. Dim eyed, querulous Of speech,
halting in step, childish in mind, they flag
superfuous on the STAGE" dragging out the
fag end of life in simple existence The
secret Of a healthy old age is a healthy mid
die age. The man who takes care of his stOm-
ach, who keeps his body properly nourished,
will find that the body does not fail him In old
age. The great value of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery lies in the preservation OF
the working power Of the stomach and Other
organs Of digestion and nutrition. From this
center is distributed the nourishment of the
whole body, the salt for the blood, the lime
for the bones. phosphates for the brain and
nerves. A sound stomach means a sound man
man who keeps his stomach sound by the
use of Golden Medical Discovery" will wear
the crown of gray hairs as BELTS monarch
with dignity and ease.

THEY have county in Kentucky
called Clay, where the principal occu-
patton Of the inhabitants seems to be
to return each other to the clay that
Adam was made of. Somebody kills
somebody that he didn't like, and then
every man connected with the family
OF the deceased feels that it is his re-
ligious duty to kill every one of the
murderer's connection, that he can get
the drop on. Then the others feel that
they must return the compliment; and
SO on. There is one thing to be com.
mended about such civilization, and
that is, that owing to its character, II
will never get to be very extensive.

ALGER RESIGNS.
The Secretary of War Retires From
The Cabinet.

At 4:30 o'clock, Wednesday after
noon, Secretary Alger rendered his
resignation, which was accepted by the
President. He will retire from the
Cabinet before the end of the month.
His successor has not yet been named.
1t is said that the President approves
Aiger's conduct Of the war, but is hurt
over Alger's alliance with Pingree.
Later advices show that Alger re-
signed at the request of the President
communicated to him by Vice-Presi
dent Hobart.
1t is said General James II. Wilson
will probably succeed him.
