Nash's Social Functions.

Columbus, o., Dec. 19-The two
most noted social functions in which
Judge Nash will participate during his
ineumbsncy of the Office of Governor
will take place in the year 1900 The
first of these will be his inauguration
in January, which with it's brilliant
parade on the streets and its more
brilliant ball at the State House in the
evening, will be more notable from a
social point of view than the cere-
monies incident to the induction into
Office Of any previous Governor.
The second of these functions of
which Governor Nash will be the CEN
ter will be the launching of the new
battle ship Ohio, next July. The Gov
ernor and his staff, accompanied by a
lareg party of prominent Ohloans, will
go to San Francisco to participate in
the event. The Governors stepdaugh-
ter, who presides over his house, Mrs.
Worthingiton Babcock, will, no doubt,
break the bottle of wine across the
bow of the Ohio as this States repre-
sentative in the growing list OF great
battle ships slides from the stays into
the Pacific. That Mrs. Babcock will
be chosen to perform this graceful act
in the name Of Ohio is said to havebee
decided upon already by Secretary of
the Navy Long. This is in accord
ance with the precedent of the depart
ment, which makes of these launch
ings gaily State events, with the Gov
ernor of the State which furnishes the
Ship its name prominent in the cere-
monies, and his daughter, or someone
else whom he designates, as the christ
ener of the new ship.
Undoubtedly, also, the Legislature,
at its coming session, will make a
handsome appropriation for the pur-
chase CT an ornate and substantial sill
yer service, which will be presented to
the ship and its officers. The Ohio will
be sister ship to the famous Oregon,
though slightly superior in design,
speed and armament. In this connec-
ton il may be of interest to know that
the builder of the Oregon and the
Ohio, Irving NJ. Scott, is slated to be
elected Republican Senator from Cali
fornia this winter.

Big Cave.

Paris, KY, Dec. 19.-While examin-
ing the cellar under the City Hall this
afternoon, Electrician Hite, of the Fire
Department, discovered a large cave,
with an opening four feet in diameter
leading in an easterly direction. The
dripping of a subterranean stream was
plainly heard. The cave apparently
connects with the one recently discov-
cred under the new Agricultural Bank
Building. Mr.. Hite made only a par
tlal exploration of the cave, but Is
convinced from the size Of the opening
that large cave will be found when a
thorough exploration is made. A party
will explore the cave tomorrow. The
city is honeyeombed with caves under
meath Main street, and the cave dis
covered this afternoon is supposed to
be one Of the chain which has excited
the interest Of Parisians for many
years

Reason Why the War Means
So Much to England.

1t may seem strange at first sight
that the colossal British Empire, with
a fourth of the area and population of
the globe, should be so shaken by a
few petty reverses in a war with one Of
the tiniest peoples on earth-a people
outRrImbered by the inhabitants of
many British towns. The checks to
the forces of Gatacre, Methuen and
Butler were nothing in themselves.
There was nothing of Bull Run, or
Waterloo, or Sadowa about them A
nation which is not prepared to accept
such triiiing setbacks with equanimity
ought not to go to war at all. An
army cannot usually go through a
campaign in kid gloves.
But when we examine the situation
a little more closely the cause of the
British uneasiness is plainly apparent.
England cannot afford to carry On a
great war in South Africa. She did
not imagine that she was going into a
great war when she began 1t. She
thought She was sending an expedi-
tionary force to pacify bit of disaf-
fected country. She finds now that
she rs in for her greatest land war OF
the cen; Iry
This means practically the addition
OF a new great Power to the list of her
enemies. II England were fighting
France and Russia, and Germany
should join the coalition against her
she would not have 10 raise any more

The London Leader tells of a dog
which has lost both of it's right legs,
and yet manages to get about on the
other two, which are in more than one
sense its left legs. "In starting to run
the dog quickly gets up, balances itself
on its two legs, and rapidly hops off

An Unmerited Reflection.

From the Little Rock Democrat.
The following appears in the local
columns of the Gazette this morning:
United States District Judge John II.
Rogers at Fort Smith has released two
more of the coal mine strikers arrested
in Huntington in July and sentenced to
long terms for violating the court in
junction against interference with the
operation of the mines by non-unionists.
All of the strikers have been released
except Sweeney, the president OF the
local miners union at Huntington, who
was sentenced for ten months, and the
negro Bunch, who has several months
vet to serve. The miners have been re-
leased in pairs and trios, and on each
occasion Judge Rogers has given the
prisoners a long lecture and whole
lot of advice, which if taken would re-
suit in miners becoming slaves of the
coal corporations. He informed the
two men that upon recommendation OF
coal company officers he had concluded
to release them, allowing them to return
home to their families, who badly needed
their assistance. He advised the men to
keep away from vicious labor leaders,
who lead them into trouble and deserted
them at the climax. Judge Rogers said
he was of the opinion that the men were
not to blame for the disturbances, but
thought the labor leaders from other
states were responsible, and classed
them as tramps.
From the inception of the labor trou-
bles in western Arkansas, when Judge
Rogers was called upon to assert the
authority of his court by restraining
certain miners from interfering with
the property rights of the mine owners
and from committing acts of violence,
he has exercised his authority in wise,
conservative and just manner. In not
single instance was miner imprisoned
but for wilful violation of the orders o!
the court. But it is true, as Judge
Rogers asserts, that some of the labor
leaders, after getting the men into
trouble and causing them to commit
acts of violence, deserted them and left
them to their fate. To say that il the
advice of Judge Rogers be followed
would result in miners becoming
slaves of the coal corporations is sim
ply an unfounded assertion and one thai
seriously reflects on an upright and just
judge. In all his dealings with the
miners he has shown his sympathy by
making their punishment as light al
possible. But these misguided mer
should learn, and they will learn II
time, that like all other men they mus
obey the laws and respect the orders ol
the court.
The Van Buren press., 1899-10-21

not more than half the cattle can be
maintained that were twenty five years
ago. He cites as other causes that great
numbers of small farmers have aban-
doned cattle growing and that the in
crease of population native and foreign,
has raised the ratio Of consumption.
The Secretary does not touch on the
hog or the sheep question although the
beef combine handles these kinds of
meats and has advanced prices on them
to top-notch figures. Neither does the
Secretary of Agriculture explain why
the trust is selling beef steaks in London
and other English cities, after paying
freight on them over land and sea at
lower figures than those at which it
supplies them to American consumers
living within gunshot of its abattoirs.
The Secretary likewise omits to eluci-
date why the difference between the
price paid by the trust to cattle raisers
and that exacted Of consumers is so
steep. He fails, moreover, to give a
reason why the butchers of Austria have
appealed to the Government to protect
them against the low prices which the
American Beef Trust is charging for
their steaks, roasts and cuts.
What Secretary Wilson has not ex-
/ planned about the Beef Trust s extortior
and methods would fill large volume.

it down? The flag once planted, shall
it be remoyed2 Never God bless the

UnsubsidIzed Shipbuilding.

From the ST. Louis Republic
Newspapers and politicians who advo-
cate the passage of the Hanna Payne
ship subsidy bill-which is as trans
parent a scheme to loot the Treasury as
was ever concocted by case hardened
Republican cupidity-talk in a strain
calculated to create in minds not ac-
quainted with the facts the impression
that shipbuilding is an unknown and
untried industry in the United States.
According to the estimate made by
the Philadelphia Record there are more
than twenty shipyards along the Allan
tic seaboard and two on the Pacific
coast.
In addition to these there are more
than a dozen establishments along the
shores of the Great Lakes where steam
ships of ocean going size and others of
enormous dimensions are constructed.
At the Globe Works, Cleveland, steel
steamships of ocean going size and
others of 5000 tons each, are being
built. In addition to carrying great
cargoes, these vessels are designed to
two enormous steel barges with cargo
capacity equal to many ocean steamers,
and their contract speed is fifteen knots
an hour.
No subsity from the Government has
served as an incentive for building these
enormous steamships. 1t can be pre-
sumed, without giving the slightest
wrench to probability. that vessels Of
like dimension, cost and excellence will
continue to be constructed as fast as the
demands of trade shall require, solely
for the legitimate profit there is in build
ing such craft.

THE latest statement of the Alaskan
boundary dispute is that provisional
line has been agreed upon pending the
final settlement of the contention, The
temporary line, it is understood, con
cedes territory to Canada which was
previously ours, and this surrender is
made while the extreme apostles of ex
pansion are rowing up and down the
land vociferously declaiming against the
lowering of the flag upon any territory
where it has ever been unfurled and
branding any proposition of that sort as
treason The flag has been hauled down
in Alaska and withdrawn from territory
held by us ever since its purchase from
Russia by an unchallenged title. -Phila'

Things Unexplained.
1rom ihe Sd Louls Kepnblle.

T
Secretary Wilson Of the Agricultural
Department has elaborately explained,
to his satisfaction at least, the causes Of
the exorbitant prices exacted for its
product by the Beef Trust. His explana-
ton shifts the blame from the shoulders
of the trust and lays it on conditions
which that combine is adjudged blame
less of bringing abont. 1t sounds like
the ex parte plea Of special advocate.
The Secretary says the principal cause
why meats are so high is that all the
ranges in the cattle raising States have
been overpastured until in some Of them
