JOHN SHERMAN'S LETTER.
Nash Is In Every Way Equipped to
Be Governor.
Mansfield, O., Aug. Is, 1899.

Mansneld, o., Aug. 10, 1S99
Hon. W. 8. Kerr, Mansfield, o.:
My Dear Sir-I have received your letter
of this days date in regard to certain
newspaper statements which you think
might tend to create the impression that
| am not in accord with the nominations
OF our party this fall, and inviting state
ment from me as to the matter.
l have noticed the articles to which you
refer, and have not thought it worth while
to pay any attention to them but as you
say they mislead some people, 1 will frank
ly reply.
In the first place 1 can not imagine how
such statements can have originated, as
it must be apparent to all that they are
entirely without foundation. They are
doubtless the work of some newspaper
writer with a very brilliant Imagination.
My position as Republican is well known,
and to say that / could ever be anything
else is, as you remark, utter nonsense" /"
Besides, if | had been permitted to make
the nominations for our party this fall
myself, l could not possibly have improved
on those made in the convention. Judge
Nash has always been and is now an init
mate and warm personal friend. He is
In every way equipped for and worthy of
the high office of governor of this state.
He is an eminent lawyer, conservative in
his temperament, a man of the highest
personal character, and will fill the posi-
ton with great credit to himself and the
state. His past record and well known
personality furnish sufficient assurance
that he will discharge his duties with fair
ness and impartiality to all alike. There
can be no reason why any one who has ever
called himself Republican should not
heartily support him, nor do l think that
any will fail TO do So The only possible
danger to his election that / can see now
is that some Republicans may perhaps be-
come overcontident, and, thinking success
assured anyway, may not put forth their
full efforts. l trust this may not be the
case, but l think it is essential that every
cndeavor should be made to bring out the
full Republican vote. If this is done, what
little doubt there may be of the result
will be swept away.
] regret that l will not myself be able to
take active part in the canvass, for,
while my health is fairly good, and Is
steadily improving, l am admonished by
my doctor that l should remain quietly at
home for the present But l do not wish
there should be any doubt as to my desire
for the success of the Republican party,
and especially of my admiration for Judge
Nash. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN

We dislike to see papers cast Mayor
Jones aside as demagogue, because he
adopts the golden rule as the basis of
the true economy. 1t is the doctrine of
hundreds of great thinkers and doers.
1t is DIR. Gladden's gospel. Whether
we are yet prepared for this noble doc
trine is the question, but working
toward the idea, that of a common
brotherhood, is as far away from dema-
gogism as heayen is from hell; is in the
line of the highest progress. 1t is .
political idea that should prevail in all
parties, and no politician will succeed
in the near future that stands squarely
on the laissez faire doctrine of political
economy. We do not believe a new
party is needed to proclaim this, for it
is the highest gospel of mankind that
no party should despair of in the end

In regard to the length of time
government may be called upon to pay
pensions after the close of a war, it is
known that four pensioners of the Rev
olutionary War are on the rolls, or
were year ago. One, Nancy Jones, of
Jonesboro, Tenn, has since died, at the
age of 80. 1t is shown that when she
was 16 years of age and Jones so years
they were married. Jones was about
20 years old at the close of the Revolu-
tion and he married the young girl in
1925. AS his widow was long-lived, it
can be seen how, in this case, the Gov
ernment was called upon to pay pen
sion lis years after the close of a war.
Fortunately, cases of this kind are rare,
or there is no telling what sum would
be needed for pensions.

The question whether alcohol as a
medicine can be used in quantities and
ways which cause no injurious effects is
not a topic for the public schools, but
for medical colleges. The nature and
effects of alcoholic drinks, that is, of
alcohol as beverage, not as q medi-
cine, is what the laws of forty-one states
and the National Congress require
taught all pupils in all public schools,
as part of physiology and hygiene.
Therefore the effects of alcohol when
used as a medicine are purposely omit
ted in the Endorsed school physiologies.

A traveller drawing rein at tavern,
remarked to the stable boy.-"Extri-
cate the quadruped from the vehicle,
stabulate him, devote him an adequate
supply of nutritious aliment and when
the aurora of morn shall again illumine
the oriental horizon, shall compensate
you with pecuniary remuneration for
your amiable hospitality" The poor
youth then entered the tavern and in
formed the landlord that a Dutchman
was without and couldn't speak word
of English.

A Porcelain House.

Japan, it seems, intends sending to
the Paris exhibition huge house, hex
agonal in shape and composed entirely
of porcelain. 1t measures several yards
in circumference, and its weight will
not be less thar 70 tons. From the ar
tistic point of view, according to the
several models already finished, it will
be exquisite. 1t is estimated that the
cost of making it will be about 80, 900.

WHICH CAN WE TRUST /?
Interesting Queries Suggested
by Existing Conditions,
WHICH PREDICTIONS GAME TRUE.

The Record of the Last Three Years Has
Confused the False Prophets and Has
Proved the Verify of the Promises of
Prosperity Mst;e by President william
Mckinley.
The record of the United States dur
ing the past three years has been in
many respects the most wonderful in
the history of the world.
The revival of industry and the
fiood-tide of prosperity that followed
has been without precedent in the his
tory ofthis or any other country.
Three years ago when the presiden-
tial campaign was on two great parties
contested for the honor of administer
ing the government of this country.
The one, headed by William Jennings
Bryan, protested that unless free silver
coinage at an obsolete ratio was in
augurated Immediately the distress
and disaster which had hung like a
pail over the nation for nearly four
years would be increased, and the
great mass of the American people
would become paupers
The other party proclaimed William
Mckinley, it's candidate for the presi-
dency, to be 1.-The advance agent of
prosperity" They told the people
that the mismanagement of govern
mental affairs and mistaken govern
mental policies had created lack of
confidence in the business world and
had so injured many interests that
the effect had been generally disas-
trous. They promised that a revision
of the tariff along protection lines and
the guarantee of a sound currency
would bring a return of good times.
The people will soon be called upon
to stop long enough from their busy
vocations to consider which of these
parties was correct three years ago,
and which has kept it's word with the
public.
Is the administration of William
Mckinley the period of idleness and
poverty and misery which William
Jennings Bryan and his fellow Dem
ocrats predicted it would be?
Has the failure to restore free silver
coinage at the obsolete ratio of 16 to
l caused business depression or pro-
duced business collapse and catastro-
phes?
Has not the Republican party done
just what it promised in the restora-
tion of prosperity?
If Bryan and his fellow advocates
were mistaken in 1896, is it likely they
have learned any wisdom in three
years? The people have found the ex-
act reverse of what the Democrats pre-
dicted in 1896 has come to pass. 1t has
come as steadily as the current of a
mighty river in increasing volume
from the day of the election of William
Mckinley to the present.
If Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party were so gravely mistaken in re-
gard to the effect of the defeat of free
silver and the election of Mckinley,
ran the people trust them to be right
now when they are opposing national
expansion and fretting about other
matters which have created more or
less public concern?
Which party will the people trust
this year and neXt-the one that bas
kept faith with them or the one which
has proved itself false prophet?
Robbed of all false and misleading
political claptrap, that is the question
the people of Ohio will be compelled
to answer at the polls in November.

To remove freckles, mix one ounce of
lemon juice, a quarter of a dram of

verized sugar, and let it stand in q
glass for few days; then apply it and
lea it dry on the skin. Or apply with
linen cloth two tablespoonfuls of grated

keep this lotion and use it frequently,
being careful not to allow it to touch
her ewes.

An irrepressible female is canvassing
our neighboring cities selling pants
buttons, and she can have our money
''any old time" She snaps one Of her
buttons on the pants of a married man
who is then compelled to buy a box in
order to explain to his wife "where he
got that" In some instances she will
clip off two or three buttons and the
victim is then compelled to buy box
or go around holding up his pants.
