To Our Credit.

The British war office is now the re-
cipient of vigorous criticism and com
demnation on account of it's loose
methods of caring for the sick and
wounded in South Africa. According
to the disclosures the conduct of the
officials was almost criminal. Yet
England is popularity supposed to have
reached almost perfection in all
branches of the army. When we con-
slider the emergency preparations and
the results achieved there is abundant
reason for taking pride in the manner
in which the army of the United States
is conducted.

purchasing power of n dollar in
America is also correspondingly
greater. Admitted that rents and
the prices of native products may be
cheaper in foreign countries than
they are here, this difference is moth
ing like the wide disparity in the
amount of wages earned. Moreover.
the conditions of living must be con-
sidered, as well as the nominal cost.
Cheap rents and cheap prices mean in
ferior accommodations and poorer
living To the average worker in
foreign countries most of the con
veniences that are in common use by
the American wage-earners are posi-
tive luxuries. The American work
man and his family are the best ed
ucated, the best dressed, the best
housed and in every the best situated
workers in the world. The American
wage-earner is always the most skill
full workman. His duties and re-
sponsibilities are privileges possessed
by no other laborers, and to his in
telligence and achievements are
largely due the fact that these United
States are to-day the envy of the
civilized world.
Within couple of short years, by
the wise administration of the re-
publican party, the democratic haunts
of idleness have been turned into
hives of industry Thanks to the en-
actment of the Dingley protective tar
iii and the wise administration of
public affairs by President Mckinley,
the entire effect of the democratic
free trade policy has passed away.
Millions of persons employed in the
thousands of establishments which
resumed work within the last three
years show only too plainly how far
the influence of business admins
tration has been felt. Side by side
with this record of the resumption
of work is that of the increase OF
wages, ranging from to 40 per
cent, and the most gratifying fact
in this matter of higher wages is that
IL has been voluntary to n large eX-
tent on the part of the employers.
High wages encourage the increase Of
high class of labor and high stand
ard Of living. The following table is
compiled from the reports of ma
tional and international unions, made
in May, and it shows the per cent. OF
increase in wages of SO different
trades or crafts in the years 1897,

THE CHILD HEART.

The summer sun may shrink the rill
TIL ell Its course Is cranpied clay,
Yet In some green ridge far away.
The fountain-head Is yelling still.
;Such is his lot whose youth is past
Whose noon of life straightway departs.
IL In his bribeless heart OF hearts
His childhood dwells serene and fast.
The winds heroic news still bruit,
The woods enchanted murmur make,
And all the word that Nature spake
IN his young ear grows never mute.
dlis childhood's God lives In the sky.
And breaks the seasons to the earth;
Days new-blown fire. red evenings
hearth,
Wave wonder-scrolls before his eye.
He loves the faint pearl-colored blooms.
That wear, through Aprirs smiles and
glooms
Memorial looks of youngest springs
He yet can find relish keen
In foods and drinks his childhood
sought,
In cups of milk, and honey brought
From hives within the forest VI cen;
In berries speared on grassy bent.
Dusk berries from the bramble wastes;
In each and all of these he tastes
I know not what of deep content!
And Eever falls upon his ear
Such benson from Musics tongue
AS In those hymns his mother sung
In summer twilights dim and dear!
The years no tenderness can steal;
Him as a child the shaft can wound!
But since his heart beats true and
sound
Him as a child the balm can neal
His joys and griefs, as they were wont.
Travel the same heart-avenues;
A vernal hope his step pursues--
The snowfakes gather on his front.
Old Time despairs to make him old.
And when from out the yelled deep
The still Voice calleth him to sleep,
He as a child his eyes shall fold.

QUEER NAMES FOR INFANTS.
Parents Sometimes Confer Preposter.
Gus CognOmens Upon Their
OHspring.

At Ramsbury manor, England, there
once resided poulterer's family of the
name of Duck. The third son was to
be christened and the mother wanted
the name to be William. Just before
starting for the church the nurse ran
upstairs to the father. who was laid
up with govt, to tell him they were
off. what be going to call un',
nurse?" "Mssus says it's to be Will
liam," was the reply. civilian be
bowed" said the invalid. "Call un'
plain Bill" In accordance with these
laconic instructions the nurse gave
the name of Plainbill to the clergy
man. and the infant was christened ac-
cordingly.
In an even funnier way is the queer
Christian name of One Tichiner, of
Peckham, accounted for. When his
parents and sponsors arrived at the
church his name had not been settled
upon. and when the clergyman said:
name the child" one of the friends
said: John" and another said: "Oh,
no." meaning not John, and. as no one
else spoke. the clergyman thought that

Ono.
A clergyman's son vouches for the
following: my father was baptizing
boy of six years of age. The names
given were Benjamin Joseph. After
the ceremony he said to the boy: "You
have two very good names, and you
ought to be good boy. How did you
come by them? Please. sir said the

higher wages paid TO American labor
the democratic party will appeal to
the wage-earners to place the admin
istration of this country in democrat
ic hands, the sole result of which
would be to restore the era of low
wages, to extinguish the fires of hope

TROUBLE
Between Contractors and Water
works Trustees Over the
New Pump.

The big pump at the city water
works station has at last been complet-
ed and Is now furnishing the city with
water, but there promises to be some
trouble between the Waretworks Trus-
tees and the contractors unless one or
the other of these parties agrees to the
terms made by the other for a settl-
mnt.
The pump was to have been COM
pleted under the contract with the
Snider- Hughes Company. of Cleveland,
by March 1, 1899, and the price agreed
upon was $15,91S, which was 1,41S in
excess OF the lowest bid.
The Trustees awarded the contract
to the Snider-Hugnes Company be-
cause the latter agreed to complete the
pump by March 1, 1899, four months
earlier than the time set by the lower
bidder.
On March 1, 1899, however, the pump
was not in working order and the COM
pany did not get it in condition sat
isfactory to the Trustees until June "a,
1900, when a resolution was passed to
accept it.
Then disagreement arose between
contractors and Trustees. The con-
tract stipulates that the work should
be completed by March 1, 1899, that for
all overtime the contractors should pay
$40 per day, and that payment should
be made as follows, Seventy-five per
cent at the time of acceptance and the
balance within a year afterward.
When the time for settlement came,
the Trustees informed the contractors
that $40 per day for 4S4 days would be
retained, under the terms of the con-
tract. This modest bill for $4.840 rath-
er startled the contractors, who declin-
ed to settle that way. They ask the
Trustees to present bill for damages,
IL any, and they will consider that,
claiming that the clause relating to the
$40 per day forfeiture is not legal and
binding one.
The Snider Brothers, representing
the firm, were here at the meeting OF
the Trustes Monday vening and made
their demand, but it met with little
consideration from the Trustees, who
firmly intend to abide by the contract.
They claim the $3.50 for damages and
refuse to bring in any other claim than
the one authorized by the forfeiture
clause in the contract.
The action of the Trustees in pro-
tecting the interests of the public finds
favor with the taxpayers of the city.
the same as did Councils action in the
bridge matter a week ago.

The Rig Whale a Wonder.

1t Is not to be wondered at that the
newspapers in other cities have spoken
so highly of the whale exhibition that
is now in our city, for 1t is wonder.
The immense size, the many peculiari-
ties and embalming Of this monster is
wonderful. 1t is something that should
be seen by everybody in the county, as
the opportunity may never come to us
again. If you have not seen the mon
ster and care to do so, you must do so
at once, as Thursday will be the last
day the whale will be on exhibition. 1t
will leave after the Buckeye picnic day
is over. If you haven't seen the mon
ster you shouldn't miss it. 1t is all
that 1t is claimed to be. We have
seen it,
