The death of Bishop John A. Wat
terson is loss this community will
not soon see repaired. The regret it
causes is by no means limited to Ro-
man Catholic circles in Columbus
end vicinity, but is felt on all hands,
regardless of the religious Affiliations
of those who entertain it. The
Catholic church at large undoubted-
ly suffers a severe blow in the demise
of this eminent prelate, whoss life
was unsefshly dedicated to its SER
vice; but the loss in this city, where
he was best known and most beloved,
is a personal one ard regarded as a
public calamity.
A man ofstriking mentality and
the highest moral principle, Bishop
Watterson not only made himself
valuable to the religious interests he
cherished, but endeared himself to
all who became acquainted with his
character, while at the same time
his career was eminently useful to
society from secular point of view.
His attainments extended to the full
scope of modern thought and enter
prise during an unusually active life.
Devoted to his church and her peo-
pie, he yet found time and inclina-
tion to place himself in helpful SYM
pathy with every good cause, though
not of the church. fhe many last
ing friendships he formed in Colum-
bus among persons not identified
with Catholicism testify to the broad
ness of his views and the universally
of his interests. While he labored
to save souls after the tenets of his
faith, he was almost equally indus
trious in cultivating the minds of
the community in which he dwelt
and promoting the moral and ma
terial health of the body polite.
His life was one of good and useful
deeds, the beneficent consequences
Of which will live long after their
author has entered upon the enjoy
ment Of his infinite reward.

WE NOTICE by Wednesday morn
ing papers that the judgement of
Judge o. w. Fl. Wright in the case
of DIR. McTeague against a rail
road company in Perry county, has
been sustained by the Supreme
Court of Ohio. The case is recited
to have been that DR.. McTeague
sued the rail road company for
100000 damage for conductor
having put him off a freight train.
The law prescribes that doctor
can ride upon any train if he has
the money or ticket to pay his fare,
regardless of the rules of the rail-
roads, therefore he entered suit
against the company for his having
been elected from train, with
ticket and money in his possession.
The company's instructions to the
freight conductors were to allow no
one to ride without permit, and the
company would have surely been
in for damages under the physician
permission law, had not the defense
sprung the law that all physicians
must be registered in the Probate
Court of the county, else they can.
not legally practice. DR., McTeague
had prepared his registration pa
pers some time prior to the occur
ance and placed them with the
Probate Judge, but having not paid
the registration fee, the Judge had
refused to record same, and pigeon
holed the papers. Judge Wright
took the case from the jury in
structing them to return verdict
against Dr. McTeague, the Court
holding that his registration was
not legal, he having not complied
with the law in having had it
spread upon the records for the eyes
of the public who were interested.
The matter was carried to .he cir
cult court and Judge Wright was
reversed, this court holding that
the,mere depositing of the registra-
tion papers with the Probate Judge
was complying with the law of
physician registration. The matter
was then carried to the Supreme
Court of the state, and on Tuesday
of this week that highest tribunal
handed down a dicision reversing
the Circuit Court and sustaining
Judge Wright in his dicisiUn. This
case was an important one, watch
ed by many interested persons all
over the state, and the holding of
the Supreme Court Is certainly a
high compliment to the sound rul-
ing of'Judge Wright, and we wish
TO congratulate him on the sue cess
that is attending his efforts upon
the bench,

WE WERE compelled to omit last
week a good report of the Sand
Run Schools First Annual Com
mencement, and at this time deem
it too much deferred to publish,
but will thus say editorially that
the commencement according to
report, was grand success. w. p.
Matthias, resident of Logan, was
the principle of the schools, and
this insured success from the first.
He is widely known as one of the
best educators in Ohio, and his per-
sonal effort in making the Sand
Run Schools first commencement
a rousing success, bespoke In ad-
vance that the occasion would go
down in the annals of that thriving
village as land mark in educa-
tional circles.

JUDGE o. w. II. WRIGHT.


On Saturday, the goth inst, the
Democrats will be called upon to
select delegates to the Common
Pleas judicial Convention, and
these delegates will by common
consent and party usages, favor the
denomination of Judge o. w. II.
Wright, of Hooking county.
This is at it should be. The able
and distinguished iurist has more
than satisfied his constituents in
this section of the district during
his three years service as presid-
ing officer Of the Common Pleas
Court.
The election to the responsible
and honorable position Of judge did
not elevate Judge Wright, in a So
cial way, above the masses. He is
the plain, matter-o ffact individ-
ual that he was when practicing
law in the little town of Logan.
His hand. shake when he'meets one
of his friends is none the less warm
and his greeting is just as cordial
as before being clothed with judi
cial dignity.
AS to qualifications, the Judge
has proven his abilities to admin
ister justice with pure and right
eous mind. Very few of his decis-
ions have been reversed by the
higher courts, and his rulings have
heen fair and impartial.
He stands for g denomination and
he will have no opposition. Fair
field county can endorse his candi-
dacy with free and willing heart,
and in referring to his work in the
past, we can justly eXclaim, "Wel
done, thou good and righteous
Judge, well done"

The Young Democracy.

The passing of the leadership of
men like Cleveland and German in
the Democratic party was succeeded
three years ago by the advent of a
younger element to shape the i'm
mediate future of Democracy. Mr..
Bryan in the nation at large and Mr..
Lentz in Ohio are of the type of men
in whom the party now places con.
fidence and to whom it looks for
victory. The rank and file of the
party has also undergone similar
change, gathering the young men of
the country under the banner of the
reorganized and rejuvenated Democ-
racy; and nowhere is this changed
condition more apparent than in
Ohio.
"Old men for counsel, young men
for war;" is an ancient maxim and
just at this time particularly appli-
cable to the party in this state. The
young men in Ohio who have recent
ly rallied to the support of the DEM
ocratic party, giving it new life and
vigor, are sufficient in numbers and
strong enough in earnestness to en-
title them to the right-nay, the
duty-of shaping the party's policy
and naming its candidates in the
gubernatorial campaign now ap-
preaching. They will unquestion.
able take counsel of those among
their elders who have proven their
devotion to Democratic principles
by remaining faithful to the party
in all its vicissitudes from their first
Identification with it up to the pres
ent time; but this younger element,
now the dominant and most aggres-
sive factor in state and national po-
litics, will not concede any share in
the conduct of party affairs to self
styled Democrats who have forfeit
ed their title to the name since the
adoption of the Chicago platform.
The young men respect and venerate
the party veterans, but they know
who are Democrats and who are Re-
publicans, and expect that the latter,
though claiming to be Democrats,
Will henceforth act in concert with
the partyto to which they properly be-
long. The small loss occasioned by
their detection will be far more than
atoned for by the influx of reinforce
ments to tho Democratic ranks which
has been in progress from all poll
tical sources since the party of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Bryan stood
without reservation for the cause OF
the common people in the campaign
of 1895.
The young Democracy OF Ohio is
In the saddle and those who are OPP
posed to It will be wise II they keep
out Of the way to avoid being tram
pied on.--Press Post.

PRESIDENT HYDE ON M'KINLEY1sM.

William De Witt Hyde is man of
high character, not given to over-state.
ment or hasty and prejudiced genera
lization. He is the President of Bow.
doin College, an old and conservative
New England institution of learning,
far removed from the swirl and strife
of partisan politics.
In an address delivered in New
York DR.. Hyde said:
We all tolerate great deal of wrong
doing because in time of peace and
plenty the evil consequences are OBJ
scured. Even n War Department in
time of peace and plenty may be con-
Quoted on principles of personal pat
ronage and private profit and political
pull and no great harm be manifested
1t Is, however, one of the few ad.
vantages of war that 1t puts men and
principles to test, and with its clean.
edged sword cuts out their unright.
eousness and rottenness so clearly thai
all men may see and understand. Then
we see what privilege and pull and
sroils and incompetency and ineffici
ency mean, not in vague, general terms
but in terms of starvation and disease
and death.
1t is a wholesome thing that now
our brief war with Spain is over we
have not particle of animosity
toward the poor Spaniard, but thai
the men we find 1t hardest to forgive
are those who failed to send to oul
own brave soldiers at the front, O,
even In their camps, the reasonable re
quirements Of health and healing.
The pointing OF such straws as this
says the New York World, is more
valuable index to the national feeling
than thousand partisan attacks an(
partisan defenses.

to extend the obligation of the sur
eties beyond the official life Of the
principal. That If It could be ex-
tended a week or month, it could
upon the same reasoning be contin-
ued during all the life of the off,
cial after his term of Office had ex-
pired; and that such construction
of the law would not only he fool
ish and absurd, but would shock
the conscience of honest men, and
would render it pro ctically imposs
ible for officers to furnish honds-
men, as no sane man would will

binding upon him for all time, and

his dealings with the county after
he should retire from Office, as well
as when he was in Office.
Other causes of action sought to
recover for money paid for "servi-
ces and expenses" without specify
ing what the services and expenses
were. Upon these the Court held
that the petition should state spe-
cifically what services and expenses
these payments were made for, so
that the Court could tell from the
petition whether the Commission
ers had any legal basis upon which
they could make an allowance in
payment therefor; and if the petit
tion should when so am ended, show
that the commissioners had under
taken to allow fees for services that
the law did not authorize them to
make an allowance for, that the
State could recover it back for the
use of the county.
Other causes of action stated IN
detail exactly what services were
paid for, that the law made no pro-
vision for the payment and these
counts the Court held good, and
overruled the demurrers as to
them.

what the services and expenses

that as it was perfectly lawful and
right to pay these officers for servi-
ces and expenses in the line OF
their duty; that the petition should
state in detail exactly what serv-
ices were paid for, and what eXpen.
ses allowed, so that the Court could
tell from the petition whether these
services and expenses were i'm the
line of their official duty or not;
and if it should appear by the pc
;ition when so amended, that the
payments were for services and
expenses not in the line of duty
and not authorized by law, then a
recovery could be had upon proof
sustaining the petition.
The opinion of the Court was log

law, that it gave universal satisfac.
tion to all the interested parties.

"Second, that to leave our own
country to stand on foreign soil is
in violation of the warnings of our
fathers and of the farewell address
of Washington.
"Third, that there was never q
tropical country governed with any
tolerable success without p system
of contract labor.
Fourth, the trade advantages of
the Philippine Islands, il there be
any, must be opened alike to all
the world, and that our share Of
them will never begin to pay the
cost of suhjugating them by war or
holding them in subsection In peace.
Fifth, that the military occupa-
ton Of these tropical regions must
be kept at an immense cost, both to,
the souls and the bodies of our sol
diers.
"Sixth, that the declaration as to
Cuba by the President and by Con-
gress applies with stronger force to
the case of the Philippine Islands.
"Seventh, that Aguinaldo and his
followers, before we began to make
war upon them, had conquered
their own territory and independ-
ence from Spain, with the eXcep-
tion of a single city, and were get
ting ready to establish free con-
Stitution.
eighth, that while they are
fighting for freedom and independ-
ence and the doctrines of our
fathers, we are fighting for the
principles that one people may con-
troll and govern another in spite Of
its resistance and against its will.
"Ninth, that the language and
argument of those who object to
this war are, without change, the
language the argument of Chatham
of Fox, of Burke, of Barre, of Cam
den, and of the English and Amer
lean Wings, and the language and
argument of those who support it
are the language and argument of
George III, of Lord North, of Mans
field, of Wedderburn, of johnson,
and of the English and American
Tories.
"Tenth, no orator or newspaper,
or preacher being a supporter of
this policy of suhjugation, dares re-.
peat in speech or in print any of
the great utterances for freedom of
Washington, of Jefferson, of John
Adams, of Abraham Lincoln, or OF
Charles Sumner.
"The question the American peo-
pie are now considering, and with
which they are about to deal, is not
a question of a day, or of year, or
of an administration, or of a cen
tury. 1t is to affect and largely de-
termine the whole future of the
country. We can recover from a
mistake in regard to other matters
which have interested or divided
the people, however, important or
serious. Tariffs and currency and
revenue laws, even foreign wars;
all these, as Thomas Jefferson said
, ARE billows that will pass under

TREATISE ON THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Union Pacific Publishes Book on Uncle
Sans New Possessions

The Union Pacific has just issued
one of the most interesting and ar
tistic publications in the way of d
railroad compendium of informa ton
ever placed before the public. Though
in the shape of folder, it is really
an elaborate treatise on the Hawaiian
islands. The title page is an ingeni-
OuSly wrought design, showing the
Pacific ocean surrounding the Hawai-
ian archipelago, bearing ship of the
vintage of 177S with IA mariner on the
quarter deck 1t represents the dis
covery of the islands by Captain Cook.
Blended with the whole are SCIENCES of
more modern periods, the palace of
the new republic with the stars and
stripes prominently in evidence and
other features of historic movement.
The illustrations, of which there are
more than 100, present the finest skill
of the Photographic artist. They are
executed in the color process, and ex-
Gel any views of scenery ever shown in
this way. These illustrations depict
every phase of native life, historic
spots, public buildings, Hawaiian
scenery, etc, but they are of seconda-
DIS COIlD WITH
the valuable information about the
islands which the publication con-
talnS. The geographical, historical,
agricultural and educational features
are fully dealth with, while the man.
ufacturing and industrial resources of
the territory are especially promi-
nent. Though the publication is
elaborate and exhaustive it is so tab
ulated that every conceivable subject
relating to the island is presented in
such manner as to make an interest
ing story of the whole.
The work begins with the discovery
OF the land by the bold Cook and his
adventurous mates, later intercourse
with the people, their history as a
nation, sketches of their rulers and
men of note, form of governments an
clent and modern, the prevailing
methods of agriculture. commerce of
the various nations with the islands.
educational institutions. showing the
natives to be rapidly advancing, and
concludes with some interesting OBJ
servations on the evolution from mon
archical to republican form of govern
ment, with pretty finale as to the
luxurious manner in which the terri
tory may be reached via the lines of
the Overland Route from Missouri
River points. The folder, which is
the work of Mr.. A. barlow, consists
of eighty-eight pages. The character
