Make War
On Mckinley will Prohibitionists.
Because Of Canteen Policies.


The Prohibitionists are preparing
to make a great campaign against
Mckinley this year. j. j. Ashen-
hurst of this city will manage the
campaign for the prohibs. He is
collecting material for q campaign,
and 1t is said by the wise ones in the
party that never before has the party
been so well financed as 1t will be
this year.
Discussing the campaign with
The Citizen Thursday Mr.. Ashen-
hurst freely criticized the action
of the Anti-Saloon league In "flunk-
ing" ON Mckinley. He said that
the league had proved to the people
by some advance matter that Nc
Kinley was in measure RESPONSE
BILE for the defeat Of the Clark bill,
and that now after collecting ma
terial and arranging for great cam
paign, the league "funked" because
its work would hurt "Brother Nc
Kinley."
"The league had a glorious opper-
tunity, but it was afraid to embrace
it. The Prohibition party will make
the canteen an issue. 1t will not
lay down and will place the respon-
sibility for these government saloons
where 1t belongs. Mckinley as pres
ident Of the United States is com.
mander-in-chief of the American
army. He can absolutely prohibit
the canteen by stroke of the pen,
and he does not do it. He could
close the saloons in the Philippines,
but he refuses to do so. The Prohi-
bition party will make hot cam
paign and we will be heard. We
will hold President Mckinley re-
sponsible for the army canteen and
the saloon in the Philippines, and
the man who votes to sustain Nc
Kinley votes to sustain him in his
actions In permitting the canteen to
run. It's a clear-cut proposition.
No man is to blame for the canteen
so much as Mckinley, because he
could abolish it without the aid OF
consent Of anyone else by simply
using his authority as commander
in-chief in this matter as he does In
Others"

The sad intelligence came to us
Tuesday of the sudden death of Jesse
Ryan at Carbon Hill where he has
been visiting. He was sick but a
few days with that almost always
fatal trouble, appendicitis 1t
seems that the persons with him did
not think HIM seriously sick, and
did not notify his father Captain
Ryan here, until Tuesday. The
Captain started Immediately, but
Jesse had died before his arrival.
Jesse Ryan was the son of Ex-
Sheriff Ryan and served as deputy
under his father. He was univer-
sally esteemed by all who knew him,

The Money Question.

That the money question will not
be dropped ia now apparent to every
careful observer. How can the Demo-
cratic party avoid the issue without
confessing the gold standard to be
desirable? 1t cannot drop the money
question without turning the people
over to the tender mercies of the
bank presidents, who will control
business conditions by controlling
the money supply.
After the advocates of bimetallism
had been deceived again and again
by pretended friends of the double
standard they found it necessary to
support an honest, explicit platform,
and this they did when six and u
half million voters united in sup
porting demand for free and un-
limited coinage at l6 to /, without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation.-W. J. Bryan.

Although William Mckinley,
when in congress, voted for the
free coinage Of silver and only a
few years ago denounced Grover
Cleveland for disloyalty to silver,
the country will not be surprised to
find that the president, in his
speech of acceptance, talked about
"the menace Of 16 to l." and urged
the people TO "unite and overcome
the advocates Of repudiatIon" and
not "relax their energy until the
battle for public honor and honest
money shall again triumph" The
man who would urge the perform.
ance of a "plain duty" and then
assist in the reputation of that
duty would not hesitate to change
his utterances on the money ques.
ton in order to promote his own
ambition. Nor is it surprising to
find that the president declares
that the Porto Rican tariff bill en-
acted In defiance of what he de-
clared to be ga plain duty" is "bene-
ficient" OF course the president
could not say as Mr.. Tow did at
Lincoln Tuesday night: awe
walked across Porto Rico ON a
carpet of flowers spread by the
confident enthusiasm of the inhabi.
tants, and we have compelled them
to walk upon thorns In return,"
The only really significant para.
graph In the speech is this:
ave reassert the party principle
OF the Republican party, sustained
by unbroken judicial precedents.
that the representatives OF the
people in congress assembled have
full legislative power over territory
belonging to the United States,
subject to the fundamental safe
guards Of liberty, justice and per-
sOnal rightS, and are vested with
ample authority to act for the high
est interest Of our nation and peo-
pie entrusted to its care.' This
doctrine first proclaimed by the
cause of freedom, will never be
used as weapon for oppression"
What are the safeguards of liber-
ty, justice and personal rights
Where and how are they defined T?
Is there any document under the
sun higher than the constitution :?
II so, what is IL? II not, how is II
possible to tax Porto Rico and the
Philippines when the constitution
requires that all tariffs shall be
uniform throughout the United
States and the Supreme court has
decided that this provision extends
to all territory possessed by the
United States? In other words
does the the president believe that
the constitution follows the flag
or that only torn and tattel ed

TO the new possessions while We
deny to the distant peoples many
Of the rights which the constitution
guarantees?

Most Horrible
Was the Accident Resulting In the
Death OF Jacob Strawn and his
Grand d-daughter, Miss Ida
Barnbart,

. On Saturday morning last, iD the
wake of a week Of startling hap
penings in this community, came
the horrible news of the death Of
Jacob Strawn and granddaughter
Miss Ida Barnhart by the south
bound passenger train crushing in
to them as they attempted to cross
the trait at Falls Mill.
A lady that was driving behind
Mr.. Strawn and granddaughter
related to us that on coming down
the hill to the approach of the
tract she heard the train whistle
as It was coming around the grove
curve; she hallowed at Mr.. Strawn
that the train was coming and he
said in reply that he guessed he
could "make It," He whipped up
his horse, but when on the track
the horse got scared and tried to
turn back thus cramping the buggy
and holding them on the track un-
til the train crashed into them.
The two persons and the buggy
were scooped upon the pilot of the
engine and torn loose from the
horse. The train stopped and the
crew ran forward to find the old
gentleman instantly killed and the
girl seriously injured. Both were
taken to the depot at Logan, and
the former placed in the hands Of
the undertaken and the latter in
the care of several ladies who
gathered with the physician.
1t was evident from the start
that the young lady could not re.
cover, and after awful suffering she
was relieved by death at 2:30 in
the afternoon. Both were taken
to the undertaking establishment
of J. A. Oliver, and cared for and
friends were notified of the sad
accident. On Monday morning
the friends and relatives in sad
parade, headed by two hearses,
buried their loved ones at the
Strawn private cemetery in Wash
ington township.
Jacob Strawn was among the
substantial citizens of western
Hooking, a quiet, honest and ex-
cellent citizen. or late years he
has had serious trouble that SEEM
ed to break him down in his de.
clining years. A few years ago his
son Tom, who was the pride OF his
father was shot and killed in Den.
YER, then the old gentleman lost
his wife, and but last winter his
house burned to the ground in the
night season, he scarcely escaping
with his life. These misfortunes
came upon him thick and fast, and
to end it all he was destined to
| meet violent death by a railroad
train. We were personally ac-
quainted with the old gentleman; |;
he often times came to our Office
and sat in conversation about the
affairs Of the country. He was
we'll read, though of late years he
eyes failed him, he would get his
grand children to read to him, and
he kept.apace with the busy world.
But few weeks ago he came to
our Office to tell us that he had
built a new house and as soon as
he could move in, he wanted us to
come out and see him.
1t was indeed an awful shock to
our community to hear of his awful
death, and that Of his grand daugh-
ter. 1t was not our privilege to
know the lady, but all who have
spoken OF her say she was pleas.
ant quiet girl of 20 years, who
possessed an amiable disposition
and kind heart. The friends Of the
deceased have the heart felt sym.

PicinO q La Lune.

ford, just south OF Logan, was the
scene Of u happy aggregation OF
genius and beauty last Thursday
evening, the occasion being 10
honor of Misses Alice Kline, of
Toledo, Virgie Huls, of Murray
City and Bertha Smith, of Millfield,
Ohio. One of the invited guests
seeded early In the evening and
Mr.. Ed. Rauch was also seen to
suddenly make his escape. How
ever, the rest of the company spent
a most enjoyable evening.
The time honOred pastimes OF
"Down.the river" and."Skip-to-my-
lou" were gone through with que
formality, while ever and anon In
the stiffness the melodious chords
OF "Let us rest on the rock" would
break gently upon the auricles Of
the assemblage, and die softly
away in the cleaning, while the
long suffering hammock hanging
between the venerable apple-trees
now and then emitted a groan
like the last wall OF a lost spirit.
In due time the edible feature of
the evening appeared and as Mr..
Wiley Thurpess asked the grace,
the drop Of pin could have been
heard, and there was not dry eye
on the ground. AS the command
of "fall to" left the lips of Mr.. Leon
ard Stiers, the gallant sons and
daughters of the Hock-Hocking
proceeded with great vigor and un-
animity of purpose to repel all
suspicion of dyspepsia; an observer
might have supposed that the en-
tire company were of that school
of philosophy popularity known as
the epicurean. Mr.. Chas. Lehman
acted as "barkeep extraordinary"
and dispensed the liquid sustenance
with q generous hand and a tin
dipper. It was discovered upon
close inquiry that Mr.. Ed. Oliver
has a most fiendish and Unsuitable
propensity for Saratoga chips. Mr..
Ed. Collins displayed commendable
tact and celebrity in obtaining
possession of his favorite fruit
pickles. There being no baked
beans on hand, Murphy was rated
as back number, and failed to
sustain his reputation in that line.
AS soon as all were satisfied, with
the exceptions of Stiers and Thur
ness, adjournment was made to the
cool retreat of the trees, and later
to the house.
The well-known game of "twirl-
ing the pan" was suggested and
was on the point of being carried
out, when, some animated disputes
arising as to the rules of the game
in regard to kissing, it was thrown
out by ladies minority vote. Mr..
Thurness rendered a selection from
"Taunhauser." and-in the resulting
confusion, Mr.. Richard Kennard
and the guest from Murray, strolled
out into the unknown, and were
seen no more. Along in the "wee,
sma' hours" however, it Is said
that Mr.. Kennard was heard walk.
ing home, gaily whistling.
Shortly after this the guests ad.
journed "sine die," and where erst
the loud laugh and the dicrepit joke
discordantly smote the stiffness
Of the evening, the night bird and
the common frog brooded.

1900 aged one month and seventeen

We had little treasure once
He was our JOY and pride.
We loved him, oh, perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
All is still within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved SO dearly,
Has forever passed away.
Darling Vernie he has left us,
Left us yes forever more;
But we hope 10 meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.
There was an angel band in heaven,
That was not quite complete.
SO God took our Darling Vernie
To fill the vacant seat,
