The WHOLE THING
Mr.. Hanna Notifies r1r. Daugherty
Through His 1outh Piece, Mr..
Dick, that He Is 1t.

There is nothing like machinery to
make things run slick. Mr.. Hanna an
nounced week or so ago that he had
picked out the four delegates at large
from Ohio to the Republican Conven
tion, and also the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State. He doubtless re-
served the right to name any other
candidate he might take a fancy to,
hereafter. His candidates for delegates
at large were Senator Foraker, Charley
Dick, Gen. Grosvenor, and Governor
Nash. L. G. Laylin is his land YOUR
candidate for Secretary of State.
Mr.. Harry Daugherty has friend,
Mr.. "Guy Mannering," or something of
that kind, who halls from Cham
paign county, and wants to take his
chances before the Republican State
Convention, for Secretary of State.
Mr. Daugherty thought Mr.. Hanna ought
not to interfere among his friends, but
ought to let them take their chances
before the State Convention. 1t was
also suggested that Mr.. Grosvenor was
not strawberries and cream to even the
friends of Mr.. Hanna, and the Conven-
tion might not accept him for delegate
at-large. Here was treason! What
right has Mr.. Daugherty to question
the right or the wisdom of Mr.. Hanna S
running the Republican party of the
State as he sees fit? What Mr.. Hanna
says is right, even if it is wrong.
So Mr.. Dick has sent to Ohio to tell
Mr.. Daugherty and his friends that
they must eat their crow, eat it quick
and say that they like it,. Then we
will have peace. Let us have peace.
Mr.. Daugherty says he is friend O.
the Administration; that his love fol-
President Mckinley passes that of Da
vid for Jonathan; that he would almos
commit hari-kari to secure the re-elec
tion of Mr.. Mckinley; that he is an ar
: dent admirer of Dickey and all that
and is lovesick for Dicks master, Fa
ther Hanna; and he doesn't care if thu
J Forakerites are all sent to Guam. Blu
, ne does think that tine Daughert,
7 friends of Mr.. Hanna, should have al
. equal chance to fight for the crumb
that fall from the masters table. Ant
there is nothing unreasonable In that
is there?
But we must have peace; Mr.. Hann
; must have his own way, and it mus
not be disputed. Mr.. Daugherty mus
not rebel. That would only encourag
the Filipinos. The people must submit
. In this way only can there be peace an
q unity in the party. And Mr.. Ham
!, must name those who are to be admit
ted to the feast of fat things, and all tn
> other good places, even to naming thos
, who are to be admitted to the kingdor
of Heaven. Thus, and thus only, ca
. we have peace.
Daugherty, oh! Daugherty!
Thou art a shining light!
e Thou art great and beautiful!
But what art thou,
= In the shadow of the sphinx,
By jinks, when Hanna winks?

IN MEMORlAM.

Lucinda Cinderella Strattan was born
at Middleburg, o., May Is, 1850, and
died of consumption at her home in
Dayton, December 30, 1899, aged 40
years, 7 months and IA days.
On Nov. .25, 1868 she was married to
Christopher Simpson, who died May II,
1870.
She was united in marriage to John
c. Birkett, Jan. IL, 1876, and since that
time has resided at Dayton, Ohio.
She obeyed the gospel in May, 1864
under the preaching of Brother N. A.
Walker, and lived and died in the faith
of Risen Savior.
Many friends gathered at her home,
with the pastor, Rev. Cahill, to pay their
last tribute of love, to their beloved sis
ter.
She was then brought to the church
of Christ, at Middleburg and after a
short service conducted by Brother A.
o. Henry, her body was laid to rest in
the village cemetery, Jan. l, 1900.
May the lovely flowers that adorned
her casket, speak to us with their voice
less lips of Immortality and the beauti-
full land ''where the flowers bloom for
ever, and the sun is always bright"
The husband, parents and other rela-
tives have the sympathy of their many
xieuls IN this tsyi1s hour.

COUNTY NEWS.
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.

On the 23d of February, the farmers
expect to hold the best Farmers Insti-
tute ever held in the county. Those
who have never heard S. H. Todd, will
want to hear him, and those who have
heard him, will make great effort to
hear him again. At DeGraff last year
after. his evening lecture people crowd
ed the hotel where he was stopping to
get to talk not to amuse but to instruct.
An old man. full of years, a well round
ed up life full of rich experience, at the
sunset of life, will talk at the Bellefon-
taine Farmers Institute in such way,
that one would almost envy him in his
humble walk through life. The pro-
grams are now ready, and the committee
are busy arranging for the occasion.

TO DESTROY TRUSTS.
Senator Buffers Plan Is. for the Gov.
ernment to Control Railroads and
Telegraph and Telephone Lines
and the Issuance of Money

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator
Butler today introduced resolution
declaring the duty, power, and pur-
pose of government to destroy trusts
by removing the causes that produce
them" The plan proposed is to control
the issuance of money and to control
the railroads and telegraph and tele-
phone lines by the government when,
the resolution sets forth, ''the three
great trusts for evil known to civiliza-
tion will have been destroyed and at
the same time the causes which have
logically and inevitably produced the
aggregation of great industrial trusts
will be forever removed and the reign
of monopoly will be at an end"

A FINE VIOLIN.

Mr.. Thos. L. Wright is the possessor
of fine violin upon which his father
played some thirty years ago, and has
coveted ever since. The instrument is
a genuine Geo. Gemundet, and needing
some repairs, it was aaken to the son of
the maker, who returned the violin
Saturday, with a letter, from which we
clip the following:
ssThe violin is in fine condition. You
are certainly to be congratulated in
possessing this violin as it is one of the
finest specimens, "Strad" copy, of my
fathers make. ! am only too pleased
to get hold of such specimens of that
period as they are rare and held pretty
tight by their owners. The violin is
certainly worth $500 as it is, and know
of several in this country that have

OVER A BILLION CAPITAL.


The roads involved have total cap
ital of 81, ,216, ,036, 1853; the objects of the
trust are said to be: To re-establish
and maintain rates on a permanent
basis; to abolish the payment of COM
missions on passenger business; to
abolish the fast freight lines; to cut
down the expensive passenger and ad-
vertising departments of the roads
affected; to abolish the travelling
freight agent as far as possible; to
resist the demands of big corporations
for rebates; to cooperate with the in
terstate commerce commission in the
maintenance of law and rates; to estab-
| lish the coal trades on permanently
profitable basis; to abolish differentials
at the Atlantic seaboard; to establish a
grain tariff from the west to the sea-
board based on the prevailing market
price of the grain; to take up and pro-
vide for the settlement of all labor
grievances and controversies as far as
possible.-Lima Gazette.

A WORD
To Senator Hanna-Where to Strike
the Hardest Blows.

Senator Hanna says that the Repub-
lican National Committee needs the
800, 600 bid by Philadelphia for the
Republican National Convention, TO
counteract the efforts of the Democrats
in the West, where they are already
seeking to foment labor troubles and
cause riots and business paines.
He also says that the issues OF the
coming campaign will be "Labor's
Prosperity and the Retention OF the
Philippines"
Now, if Mr.. Hanna believes this, 1t
proves what we have always suspected,
that as a real leader of a party, he is n.
o. If he only thinks that he can force
the most important issues into the back
ground, and can make ''the Philippines
and Labor's Prosperity" the issue, he
is still wide of the mark.
Labor's prosperity is always the most
important issue, but the phrase is so
general and indefinite, that it is no
guaranty that what Mr.. Hanna has IN
his mind, is what the people want 1t
may mean only continuance OF present
conditions, that build up immense
trusts. and benefit the laborers lmmed-
lately concerned, but wreck the hopes
of hundreds of thousands, and throw
other large classes out of work. The
public demands something better than
this, and something more definite.
Neither party leaders, bosses, nor
platforms can make issues. They make
themselves. They are the inexorable
lopic of current events. The people
recognize the issue now. 1t is whether
the tyranny of combined capital shall
crush the people, or the people shall
crush the trusts. The Republican par
tv has the President and both branches
of Congress, and can pass any party
measures. If it does not enact such leg
islation as will inf1ict a crushing blow
on the evil of trusts, nothing but the
blunders and imbecility of the Demo
cratic party can save us from defeat.
The evil of trusts is thrusting itsel
into every mans home, compelling hin
to divide his living, crippling his bus
mess, depriving him of work, robbine
his children of the hope of an hones
independence, and building up an aris
tocracy of wealth that will blight the
happiness, prosperity and manhood o
the country.
No promise in either platform OF
purpose to secure 'labor's prosperity
no pointing with pride to the tariff; nj
exhibition of the blessings OF soun'
currency; not all of these will suffice
but there must be action by Congress
before the Convention meets, or all tn
words of the platform will prove bu
apples of sodom in the hands OF ou1
leaders.

FOR A SAFE RETREAT.
The Beers Prepared for Repulse By
Butler.

LONDON, January 15.-The Standard
publishes the following from Lady
smith, January II, by Heliograph, via
Weenen:
''The Beers are fortifying positions
north and west of Ladysmith, doubtless
with a view of securing a safe line OF
retreat should their opposition to Gen
eral Buffers advance fail. They still
surround Ladysmith in large numbers,
and may be contemplating another at.
tack.
SIT is known, however, that they are
greatly depressed by their heavy losses
Prior to Saturday they were perfectly
confident of their ability to defeat the
garrison and to take possession OF the
town."

What We Eat

Is intended to nourish and sustain us, but it
must be digested and assimilated before it
can do this. In other words. the nourishment
contained in food must be separated by the
digestive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood to all parts
of the body. We believe the reason for the
great benefit which so many people derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the functions of
