THE BEE AND THE SHERIFF.

The Toledo Bee, whose editor Is n
Democratic candidate for Congress In
this district, desiring to touch the
hearts OF his Democratic compatriots
in Wood county, publishes the follow
ing bit OF "jolly" for the Wood county
Democratic candidate for Sheriff:
Democrats of Wood county have q
duty to perform this year in selecting 0
sheriff for that county. They are for
tunate in having as their candidate
Frank Fl. Fike OF Prairie Depot. Mr..
Fike is possessed OF the qualification:
necessary for a successful sheriff to Q
greater degree, his friends say. than
his republican opponent. The Bee
knows Mr.. Fike and is glad to commend
him to the voters of Wood county ire
spective OF party.
So the Bee is inclined to bell eve that
"Mr. Fike is possessed Of the qualifi'
cations necessary for a successful
Sheriff to a greater degree than his OPP
ponentp" WE'LL that is probably what
the Bee editor thinks he MUST say,
just now, although II he KNOWS any
thing at all about Wood county officials
and politics, he knows his statement is
absolutely false. He knows, also, that
Sheriff Ed. Kingsbury has been one of
the best and most popular officials eyer
known to Wood county. He knows,
too, that two years ago the people OF
Wood county elected Mr.. Kingsbury
over MIR. Fike by a plurality Of LOO
votes, and that was at time when
Kingsbury had had no experience in
the Office he sought but was simply
elected upon his popularity as an
honorable, upright citizen and business
man. The editor also knows that that
same reputation remains unimpaired
and has added to 1t two years OF success
ful occupancy Of one Of the most i'm
portant officers In the gift OF the county
during which time many very import
ant and trying cases have come under
his care, and all OF which have re-
ceived prompt, courageous, just and
proper attention. The Bee also knows
that Ed. Kingsbury will be reelected
Sheriff OF Wood county this fall against
the combined efforts OF Mr.. Fike nd
the Bee.

Perrysburg has been in darkness for
a few nights past on account of dis
agreement between the village council,
and Mr.. Witzler of the electric light
plant. 1t seems that complaint has
been made that the street lights were
MT operated In strict accordance with
the contract and the council instead OF
deducting any amount from Mr..
Witzler's bill decided to lay the bill
over until the next meeting. Mr..
Witzler objected to this arrangement
and since Tuesday night the street
lamps have not been lighted, the IN
candescent lights, however, have been
burning as usual. This arrangement is
not at all satisfactory TO the people and
the differences should be adjusted and
the lights turned on. 1t does not help
the matter by turning of the light.

Brigadier General Davis, command
ing the Department of Porto Rico. has
strongly urged upon Congress the for
titication of the island ports. He says:
sit is inconceivable that the United
States will leave without adequate pro-
lection OF men, ships and guns, the
only land owned by the United States
in the West indies" Land for naval
station has been reserved, aud coal
ing and repair station probably will be
erected at San JUAN. General Davis
says the armament should be increased
and modernized and the guns cared for
by sufficient force Of artillery. He
says the experiment Of utilizing the ma
tives as soldiers has proved marked
SUCCESS.

American trade with China shows a
more raDid growth than that of any of
the European countries. The official
reports OF the Chinese Government for
1899, the details of which have just
reahed the Treasury Bureau OF Statis-
tics, show that the imports into China
from the United States in that year
amounted to 22,2s8. 785 aaikwan taels
(Hiakwan tael-72c), against l7,l63, ,3l2
taels in 1898; IL, 440 302 in 1897; IL, 929-
$50 in 1896; and 5,093, ,l92 taels in 1885.
Thus in the four years from 1895 to
1899, the imports into China from the
United States haye more than quad
rupled.

1t is reported that Democrats in
Weston and adjoining townships are
making an effort to trade off other can
didates on their ticket in exchange for
votes for Dewese, the candidate for
Commissioned. They will find this a
futile effort to defeat honest Josiah
Smith the Republican candidate for
the same Office. Smith has had three
years trial and has proven himself a
most careful and competent official. and
the people will entrust him with their
business for another term.
