THE CANDIDATE.

Behold the candidate. He cometh
up like a flower and retireth from the
race busted. His friends fill him with
false hopes and atmosphere. He swell
leth like toad and thinketh the earth
his'n. He smileth on all mankind and
sloppeth overs with good humor. He
kisseth the children and scattereth his
microbes among the innocent babes.
He privily cheweth Glove when he
meeteth the preacher, and as he con-
verseth with i'm in pious tones he
standeth leeward and curbeth his
breath as with a strong bit. He goeth
home late at night to weary wife with
beery breath and cold feet.
He riseth up betimes and hiketh forth
without his breakfast saying: II want
to see a man." The dead beat watch
eth and waiteth. then pulleth his leg
to kings taste. He "naileth a lie,"
but before election day comes he run
meth out of nails. He giveth literally to
the church, he subcribeth goodly sum
for the band, he contributeth to the
man whose barn was burned, he be-
stoweth aims, he signeth his friends
note, he sendeth small keg hither and
large one thither; he yieldeth up his
substance with apparent alacrity.
After the election he goeth out back
of the barn and kicketh himself and
| teareth his hair and calleth himself a
| Rotterdam fool. re returneth to the
| house and addressath himself to the
wife of his bosom Behold a drivel-
ing idiot, look now upon u dodrotted

"WILL HURT THE PARTY"

The Mckinley imperialistic organs all
over the nation are holsting signals of
distress at the bad effects of the be-
trayal of the Porto Ricans, and a
surrender to the trusts. Clubs and
conventions talk of sending anti
Mckinley delegates to the Republi-
can national convention. Why all
this tempest, why do the heather
rage? Why does even the sleek Benja-
min Harrison declare that the party
has taken an unwise step in imposing
tariff upon Porto Rico? Is it justice
to Forto Rico, honesty, honor, decency,
or anything moral or beneficial to the
Porto Ricans or the nation? Nothing
of the kind; it is because the imperial
policy is hurting the party! Whatever
hurts the party hurts the personnel of
it's grasping adjuncts. Whether it hurts
the people does not matter; the people
be id. 1t is the PARTY that must
be coddled, nursed and fostered, for do
not the Republican managers thrive
and have their being through party?
I o, generation of unwise and not even
straight ht-out-and- vipers, but Vicari-
Gus to the main Hanna & Co.! May
it not be possible that during the course
of the present campaign it shall occur
to you that the people themselves are
a party to be considered.

Some of the candidates of the late
Democratic primaries have not filed the
statements of their eXepnse account
with the clerk of courts at the court
house under the Garfield law. The law
is good deal of a nuisance and some
candidates have had no expense ac-
counts to file. but 1t is safest to file a
statement The law provides that with
in ten days after the holding of pri-
mary or an election. all persons who
have been candidates for nomination or
election, whether successful or not, must
file an itemized account of their expen-
ditures in the campaign with the clerk
of courts. Failure to do this involves
the liability of a fine. and In cases where
the campaign has ben successful In his
campaign. the latter may be ousted from
office.

THE ATTACK ON THE CORRUPT
PRACTICES LAW.

The aborative but not yet abandoned
effort to repeal the Garfield law against
the undue expenditure of money by
candidates for office in this state has
developed a shameful reallines on the
part of public men at Columbus to ad-
NIT that elections cannot be made de-
Gently free from bribery and corrup-
tion.
Nearly half of the members of the
house of representatives voted to de-
stroy law the sole purpose of which
is to place obstacles in the way Of the
improper use OF money in political cam
paigns. They admitted that no outside
requests had been made for such action
and that there was not the slightest evil
dence of any such feeling on the part
of the people of the state. The attack
on the Garfield law was solely move
ment by politicians against a statute
which restricted the use of money in
politics.
The plea most urged by the enemies of
the law forbidding corrupt and eX-
cessive use of money in campaigns was
that no such law was observed honestly
or could be lived up to In this state. II
was said that the sole effect OF any
such statutory limitation OF expendi-
lures was Inevitably wholesale perjury

LIFE THAT is WORTH LIVING.

To be spiritually minded is life and
peace.-Romans Willis.
The one most desirable thing in life
is to be at peace. The serene soul is the
ideal soul. 1t knows no discomfort, be-
cause the Infinite is in control of all
things, and what is best for 1t will come
to 1t. 1t cannot worry, because one
need not do that when he and God is
walking together. 1t has no fear of the
present and no dread Of the future,
because 1t has no doubts as to either
the goodness or the power of Provi-
dence. 1t is in the universe by Divine
command, 1t has a certain work to do,
also by divine command, and being in
harmony with the eternal spirit which
pervades all thing it rests quietly in
obedience to law and is undisturbed as
are the depths Of the ocean.
A man does not live in a large sense
simply because his pulse continues to
throb. There are many among us who
are thoroughly alive, wholly alive, not
only in body, but in mind and soul. They
not only look at the stars, but they
see them; they not only look at the
landscape, but they appreciate its
beauty and grandeur. They not only
give glance at poverty and misfortune
but hold out a helping hand and drop
a kindly word which sounds like a
strain of distant music. Poverty lifts
its head with hope when they are near,
and painful disease heaves a sigh of
relief, turns on it's pillow and falls into
sweet sleep. 1t is a grand thing to be
alive in that grand way.
And / have sometimes thought that
there are great many dead men walk
ing along our streets. They are torpid
except on the side of animalism, and
there they are volcanic. The higher
elements have never been aroused, ano
perhaps will not be until they reach the
other side of the grave. They do theii
business with shrewdness and gloat
over gains, whether well or Ill gotten
the mere possession of gold giving then
the pleasure which marks the pnbalanc'
cd mind; but their generocity Is an ar
rested development, their selfishness siti

The, enforcement of the law was de-
clared to be impossible.
Such arguments, publicly put forward
by officials of a great state, are enough
to make an American who cares for the
standing of his country among nations
hang his head with shame. Are we to
confess before the world that we must
remain far below the standard of Eu
ropean nations in political morality and
honesty? Is 1t impossible to make the
corrupt use of money to carry elections
as Infamous and dangerous in the Uni
ted States, or in such a state as Ohio,
as it is in England? Must Americans
yield supinely to the office-brokers and
ward healers who tell them that Ger
many may enforce honesty in political
campaigns, but nothing of the sort can
ever be done in this country?
Talk about the glory and prestige of
the United States and the power of the
American republic Will never give this
nation it's fit and proper place in the
civilized world as long as it's elected
rulers assert that nothing like the
standard of political honesty reached In
the more advanced countries of Europe
is possible here, and then proceed to
prove by word and deed, that, what
ever may happen in the uncertain fu-
ture, we are far below the German or
the British level now. A nation which
canont prevent wholesale abuse of the
power Of money in choosing it's officials
has little right to be boastful of it's
political methods or it's standard of
public morals.
1t is easy to sneer at statutes like
the Garfield law, but the gibes only
prove the shame of the men who utter
them. 1t is impossible to be sure of
the safety or health of the body polite
so long as efforts to retain the use Of
money in politics and stop corrupt prac-
| tices in elections are ridiculed as hope
| less idealism. Some reforms simply must
come If great dangers and evils are
| to be averted. One of them is the abuse
of money in campaigns.
The Garfield law ought to be the pride
of every Ohioan. Those who attack it
disgrace their state and themselves

the Leader really sincere? Has the
Garfield law, since it's enactment, been
an obstacle in the way of the improper
use of money, in campaigns, that has
not been readily overcome? Has the
Garfield law been an obstacle in the way
of Hanna, Dick e. Co.? Will it be an
obstacle in the way of Dick & Hanna,
in corrupting the voters of Ohio, in the
coming campaign? The truth is, as
every observer of the ways of politicians
must know, the Garfield law has never
served any other purpose than to hide
the wrongs it sought to remedy, and II
was probably so intended by it's author
The Garfield law should be repealed and
supplemented by one that would remedy
the evils complained of by the Leader
But, law that is certain to bring about
real reform in the corrupt use of money
in elections cannot pass the genera
assembly of Ohio, because Hanna, Dicl
& Co. would not have it so, and no ont
knows this better than the Leader.

PACIFIC CABLE BILL.
Representative Jones VIII Favor Route
by Way Of Alaska.

SEATTLE, Feb. lG.- The Chamber
of Commerce resolutions favoring the
laying IF the Pacific cable by way Of
the Alaskan route has met with the
support Of Representative Jones. who.
in a communication to the chamber
writes as follows concerning it:
This is my opinion. and l am pre-
pairing a statement at this time to sub
mis- TO the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee showing the advan-
tages of this route anj urging the
adoption OF my bill, which provides
that the commission shall investigate
ami determine the route upon which
the cable shall be laid. While / am
emphatically in favor Of the route by
way of Alaska, | thought there would
be more chance Of getting a bill
through of the kind | nave introduced
without providing definitely for loca-
commission that investigates the
routes would select the Alaskan route.
/ will also state that / am at present
emphatically opposed to subsidizing
any company 10 lay 4 cable.
In regard TO the construction of the
cable by an American company. Rep
resentative Cushman writes: Il am in
sympathy with the tenor OF your reso-
luton on this subject, and the influence
which possess shall be used to place
the provision in the bill which you sug-
gest."
