NIr. Mclean

the Democrhtic nominee for gov
ernor OF Ohio, is serving notice
upon the President and his party
that the American people are not
yet ready to declare that our rev.
olutionaTy for fathers were sickly
sentimentalists and that the Dec
laration ol Independence was but
the vaporing Of dreamers.
Mr.. Mclean, who has always
been a straightout party man, and
loyal to the Democracy in 1896,
truthiully states that his coming
fight is a State contest, in which
the Democrat: party will endeav-
or to strike down the insolent
powers OF Mark Hanna, " no deals
with the State OF Ohio as though
it were plantation and its people
his slaves. Mr.. Hanna, in the ca
pacity Of a Republican boss, is the
representative OF all that is evil in
principle, selfish in policy, and cor
rupt in practice in the politics
of our time, The SENTINEL will
do all it can to assist the German
press in its attack upon Hanna,
until he will be crippled and
pushed from the arena Of Ohio
politics, for the good not only of
the State but the whole Union.

TronbIed About the Beer.

Mr.. Thomas w. Gilmer does
not believe the beer sold in the
District is pure. This fact worries
Mr.. Gilmer. He has written to
the Commissioners asking fhem to
include in their annual estimates
a request for an appropriation to
deiray the expenses of having all
liquors sold in the District tested.
He suggests that the matter be
placed in the hands OF the excise
board. Mr.. Gilmer thinks that
the samples analyzed Tor the brew
ers by their own or other chemists
are specially prepared for advertis-
ing purposes, and are not fair sam
Dle OF what they retailed to the
thirsty public in cold stems and
schooners.

ance now in evidence between England

GIO6e saws; The more cordial friend
ship which has latterly grown up be-
tween the great English speaking ma
tions has struck too deep roots on botn
sides of the Atlantic to be blown away
by a puff OF elecuoneering wind
We have quoted from these or
gaus OF English public opinion for
the purpose Of substantiating the
statement we have made in regard
TO the CO ming election in Ohio
possessing more than a local or
even a national interest. In every
part Of the United States, as well
as in England, the result will be
view ed either as an endorsement
or a rejection ofthe twin un. Amer
lean policies of imperialism and
an English alliance. With such
an issue placed before them the
voters Of Ohio who do not believe
in these policies will have every
reason to work energetically to
bring about a Republican defeat
in that State. The effect OF such
a defeat will be of inestimable
value in holding in check the ar
rogant and unpatriotic imperial
lists and the equally arrogant and
unpatriotic Anglo-maniacs who
iavor a British alliance.

Another Great warshIp.

The builders trial trip of the
battleship Kearsarge, which took
place outside OF the Virginia Capes
last Wednesday, exceeded the ex-
Pectations OF all who Witnessed the
test and was especially gratifying
to the officials Of the Newport

The great ship easily and quickly
responded to the anchor and
steam gearing tests, and on a COM
plete turn she swung around her
head in ? d minutes. AT sea for
four hours the Kearsarge main

that's such splendid ship is the pro-

now he is thoroughly convinced

but scorn for those Who do not be

he will be enabled to use the United

been horribly mutilated and scalped.
The hands and feet were cut off. The

The Zunis are a New Mexico tribe,

Colonel Loper said there was but slight

to November. General Byers said he
was receiving letters and messages
