Mansfield, o., Oct. 26.-In q pict-

the remains of John Sherman, Ohio

while great men of the country looked
on with mournful eyes, all that is
mortal of the former secretary of state
was laid to rest with ceremonies that
were impressive yet eloquently simple.
All Ohio contributed laurels to the IL
lustrious dead, and representing the
nation were President Mckinley, Elihu
Root Secretary of war;, and other
washington officials who arrived on
the special train which brought the re-
mains from the capital.
The city was draped in mourning.
Every business house closed Mt 2

John Sherman first worshiped, and

The trusts are the chief contributors
to the republican campaign fuud.
Every republican orator who cries out
against trusts has trust money in his
pockets. His expenses and the expen-

Atlanta Constitution.
The editor of the Press and ninety
nine out of every hundred of its read
ers know that the Atlanta Constitution
states nothing more than history will
record as an actual fact. We find no
fault with the trusts for striving to
keep in power the party that has fur
nished them immunity and helped
them to multiply until they practically
control every industry in the land.
What we do object to is the contention
on the part of the Press that the
republican party honestly favored a
measure for the control of the trusts.

had never imagined. He would place
the blame for the troubles there upon
the powers for trying to force upon
the Chinese the fruits of civilization, in
the shape of railroads, telegraph lines,

of their superstitious beliefs. These
superstitions are just as sacred to the
ignorant Chinaman as our religion is to

This is not at all singular, or to be re-
GREETED by anyone. The county officers
elected this year have no political duties

The spirit of fair play, which is q
national characteristic, is frequently
shown in the selection of county officers.
