The practical solution of the question

age suit against the Kauffmans of that

exchange some goods she had purchas-

VIII Be Plenty of Bills.

Judging from interviews in the
country newspapers with representa-
tlves-elect, there will be a flood of bills
poured into the hopper at the very out
set of the next session Of the general
assembly. Nearly every new member
of the house has arranged to do a great
deal of regulating of affairs, and they
are already at work preparing bills on
every conceivable subject. There is
certain to be a number of salary bills
introduced, and nearly every represen-
tative who has so far expressed him
self appears to be in favor of placing
the county offices on salary basis.
The country members are especially
wrought up on this question, and their
constituents are demanding that they
make an attempt to legislate along hat
line There is also a disposition to
better guard public moneys in the
hands of officials, TO change the road
and school laws, and movement to
reorganize the National Guard and
place 1t on AZ new and enduring basis.

THURSDAY. NOV. le, 1899.

Since the admission of Ohio into the
Union in 1902 this is the only decade
in which the Democracy have failed
to carry the state. In 1912 Wilson
Shannon was elected governor by the
democrats, who carried the state in
1S4S for General Cass for president
In 1850 the Democracy elected Reuben
Wood as governor. reelected him the
next year under t..e new constitution,
and in 1852 gave the vote OF the state
to Franklin Pierce for president, and
in 1853 put William Medill in the gu
bernatorial chair. In 1862 the Demo-
Gratis elected their state ticket, and got
the legislature in 1867 that sent Thur
man to the senate. In 1873 the DEM
ocracy got William Allen for governor
and a general assembly that returned
"The Old Roman" to the United States
senate. In 1877 the Democrats put
Richard M. Bishop into the governors
Office and carried a legislature that
elected George H. Pendleton to the
senate In 1882 the Democracy elect
ed the state ticket, and next year chose
George Hoadly as governor, with a
general assembly that elected Henry
B. Payne senator. In 1889 the Demo
Gratis carried Ohio for the last time in
the election of James E. Campbell
as governor, and a legislature that
made Calvin S. Brce United States
senator.-Ohio State Journal.

To Deepen Lake Erie.

Man takes great liberties with ma
ture in these days; he bores through
mountains instead of climbing over
lem; he TUNES under rivers when
it is inconvenient to bridge them; he
cuts waterways across portions of
continents AMI allows the waters of one
great ocean to mingle with thoso of
another; he has projects afoot for
converting what are now deserts into
inland seas, and in several instances
he has diverted waters that were ac-
customed to flowing into one ocean so
that they flow into another or mingle
with the drainage OF some other wat
ershed One of the latest projects OF
Ills kind is to increase the depth of
. waters of Lake Erie by building
a dam at it's outlet.
Owing to the shallowness Of the
waters a.ong its shores the cities which
are situated there are constantly OBJ
liged to resort to dredging in order to
maintain navigation This is costly,
and has to be carried on continually.
AS an alternative it is now proposed
to deepen the water by raising its level
It is a perfectly feasible plan, and it is
seriously put forth. Such dam, while
it would perhaps not be so difficult as
some that have already been con-
structed, would be the greatest and
most remarkable one in he world, and
would imprison perhaps more water
than all of the rest combined; but so
great is the traffic borne upon the sur
face of this inland sea and SO import
ant are the interests clustering on its
shores that far-seeing men consider
ID !. justifiable undertaking.-Pitts-

Gilmore May Be Reinstated.

Chlllicothe, o., Nov. 14.-The infiu-
en-lal friends of Captain Tifin ]. Gill
more, whose summary discharge from
the volunteer army created such a
sensation here, will demand an inves-
tigation with a view of securing a re-
vision of the case. Captain Gilmore,
in a letter homo, charges that he was
a victim OF a conspiracy on the part
of the West Point officers in the regi-
ment, who were jealous of him because
were determined to get hlm out of the
regiment.
Gilmore was transferred to another
company than that to which he had
first been assigned, in order to make
a technical examination possible, and
tnis examination was held by a board
of West Pointers. 1t was of such a
naturt, he says, that no volunteer ap-
pointed from civil life could hope to
pass it, and Gilmore failed and was
dismissed from the service.
The regulations provide that volun-
teer officers appointed from civil life
act as a board of examiners, and II
this regulation was violated and the
other facts are found to be as Gilmore
states, there is warm time in pros
pect for somebody. General c. II.
Grosyenor is one of Gllmore's friends
and will doubtless taNe an active part

Armour is Now Farming.

Chicago, Nov. lip. d. Armour,
late in life has turned to his first love
and is now living on farm near
OconomowCc, on account of his health.
Any day he can be seen directing the
work of the hired hands" superin-
tending the building of corn cribs and
barns, and generally showing the in
fluence of his early training. The peo-
pie of the neighborhood say he is a
shrewd horse trader, and is feeding the
fattest hogs that have been seen in
that section for 20 years.
Long ago, before Mr.. Armour en-
barked on his career as a financier, ne
entertained the theory that the best
feed for pigs is acorns. Accordingly
as soon as he took up farming again
he sent out word that he would pay
25 cents bushel for acorns delivered
in the farm yard. He got enough
in week to feed all the pigs around
OconOmOwoc, but he also got a note
from the district school teacher, which
read as follows:
Dear Slr-When you offered to pay
% cents bushel for acorns there were
60 scholars in my school Now the
regular attendance is about 10. In
the interest of education l wish you
would suspend your operations for a
more favorable season"
Farmer Armour saw the point and
acted accordingly.

A Big Man For Another Year.

Notwithstanding the reputation of
Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform
in 1896, the continuous growth of Re-
publican strength since that time is
shown in each successive election, and
lie particular significance Of the bal
lots cast last Tuesday. Mr. Bryan now
serves notice that he and the issues he
has created and championed will con-
tinue to monopollz the Democratic
party until they have been voted upon
in another Presidential election.
II Mr.. Bryan were really great man
capable of sacrifice-the courage to
make sacrifices is sometimes the real
test of true greatness-he would admit
the impotency Of certain issues that
he has foisted upon his party lay down
his personal ambitions, which he must
see are hopeless, at best, and leave the
adjustment Of the next Democratic
platform to other leaders.
But Mr. Bryan wll do nothing Of the
sort. He will be a big man for anoth-
er year-then he will sink into the
background along with the issues that
will then be buried forever. He will
be remembered as a wonderful Might
Have Been, whose personal popularity
in the party was the partys milestone

Theatre Manners.

How long shall long-suffering pub
lie express its gratitude to the actress
who on Wednesday night. stopped the
play in order to allow the conversa-
tion in one of the boxes to go on?
Shall we subscribe for a loving cup or
for laurel crown of victory? Or
shall we merely subscribe ourselves
her much obliged and appreciatlve
servants?
1t was a rough rebuke, but was it un-
deserved? Is it less than would be ad-
ministered in any other country in the
world to vulgarians who would ride
rough-shod over tn eenjoyment of a
play ny the whole audience in order
to indulge in their selfish and silly
chatter?
Sucn rebuke would not be admins
tered in any other country only be-
cause such an offense would not be
permitted. The audience would not
wait for the management to impress
the lesson of good manners on the Of
tenders, but would take the case in
their own hands. Such an incident is
possible in this country, not because
we are less polite than others, but
rather because we are more polite, and
submit to a nuisance rather than
make fuss" in asserting our right to
suppress it.
Let us learn a lesson from the rout
and -..gn, OF the chattering box party.
Let us pluck up courage and assert
ourselves, and in llme an interruption
of a play by a continuous performance
in box may be as completely un-
known here as 1t is elsewhere.-New

"Otis Skinner" "

Henry Arthur Jones is said to have
made an exceedingly good play of"The
Liars" which Mr.. Skinner will present
at the Auditorium, on Monday evening
November Goth.
1t is called comedy of society man
ners, and the verdict seems to be that
it is written in a brilliant, epigram-
matte, clear-cut style; that its love in
terest is a very pretty one; that, at the
same time, it is a keen satire on the
foibles of fashionable society; that it
is unobtrusively sermonic in spirit;
and that it is splendidly acted by Mr..
Skinner and one of the best support
ing organizations he has ever had
which latter is saying a great deal.
The Liars" was playedat the Empire
Theatre, New York City, for about four
months and will be presented with the
full production Mr.. Skinner will be
seen in the part CT Sir Christopher

An Evangelistic Cook.

New York, Nov. 14.-Simply because
the cook got religion" and insisted on
passing a Scriptural text with with ev-
cry dish at the dinner table Mrs. E. c.
Fisher, Of No. II West Fifty-fifth
street, discharged her.
This cook like all other cooks, didn't
want to be discharged, but positively
refused to omit passing the text with
the beef, homily with the coffee and
an exhortation with the canned toma-
toes. AS Mrs. Fisher kept boarders
it was not well that they be reminded
Of the life beyond the grave with ev-
cry plate OF hash, or exhorted to
abandon all hope with the fish, so the
cook, Annie Caroline Williams. was
told to get out, and speedily.
Annie went to live with the family
of George Corr at No. SAG West Fifth
tieth street, and yesterday morning
became violent Corr didn't like poach-
ed eggs with a Psalm on the outside
and brOiled bacon with a fricased re-
minder that all flesh was but dust. Sc

Of assaulting his appetite. She was re-

went to pieces and she went to Belle
