STATE AND COUNTY POLITICS
NOTES OF INTEREST.

The case of Capt. Ezra Mcconnell, OF
Belmont county, mail clerk on the G
& p, between Bellaire and Wellsville.
O., furnishes conclusive evidence that
VIM. Mckinley is merely an automa-
ton, and Marcus Aurelius Hanna is
the real thing in National affairs, the
power behind the throne.
Capt. Mcconnell was for Is years
mail clerk between Newark and Chi
cago, and removed under the Cleveland
administration. During Harrison's last
term he was postmaster of Flushing.
After four years service, he again
applied for the position of mail clerk.
This application went to the depart
ment, and was returned with the state
ment that he was too old.
Capt. Mcconnell then wrote a per-
sonal letter to President Mckinley,
with whom he had an acquaintance,

Branded As A Fake" is the eap-
ton under which an evening paper
undertakes to discredit the Sunday
Registers exclusive story that Oscar
Gardner is going on the stage. A
discriminating. public has long since
learned that branding as a fake" by
the evening paper is tantamount to u
confirmation of truth, If the item hap
pens to be published exclusively in the

1t is expected that six of the La
Belle tin mills will be started up to-
morrow morning. The various de-
partments of the tin works have been
imperative for the past few days on
account of a scarcity of material. Sew
eral car loads of metal were received
at the plant yesterday morning. The
other mills will be put in operation
just as soon as more material is re-
ceiyed. There are hopes that The
plant will soon be on in fuas.

but the President made the same reply
as the department, that he was too old
to enter the service Capt Mcconnell
knew enough about the mean workings
of the Republican machine to write a
very interesting book on How to Sc
cure an Office in Ohio" as subsequent
developments showed.
Having been rejected by the depart
ment and President. he next appealed
to the court of last resort. Marcus
Aurelius no doubt decided that his SER
vices to the party outweighed whatever
incapacity he may have been under.
In any event, the commission arrived
within few days, and Capt. Mcconnell
has since been acting as mail agent.
Hana's idea of the matter is under
stood to be that a man is never too
old to hold office. if he is not too old
to work for the party.
There is a point to this tale which
disappointed Office seekers might turn
to good advantage.

A man In Georgia some time ago
caught some sparrows and trained
them 90 that he can open their cage
and they will fly back again without
any other Inducements than the love OF
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that sparrows could be trained to do
the work Of carrier pigeons, and that
a. they were smaller they would be
moro valuable In case Of war. He gave
ono Of his sparrows to q friend, who
was going to distance OF $50 miles.
and told him to free the bird when he
had reached the end Of his Journey,
and at the same time to telegraph him
when he did so. The bird reached homo
and went directly to Its cage. making
