another sheriff with another lunatic got

the crime, and until this nation should

The Democrats have fashion Of claim
ing that the tin plate duty Is an impo

the duty which was originally imposed
by the Mckinley law of 1890, tin plate

More Freight Carried.

According to "Poor's Manual Of Rail-
roads," which is about to be issued, the
quantity of freight carried by all the
railroads of the United States in 1899
was 126.991 900, 900 tons-miles; that is,
the equivalent Of carrying one hundred
and twenty-six billion nine hundred and
ninety-one tons of freight the distance
of one mile This is the largest on rec

only another proof Of the prosperity Of
the nation.

Factories Are All Busy.

]. w. Knaub, the chief inspector of
the Ohio department of workshops and
factories, has just made his annual re-
port for the year ending Nov. 10, lS09.
The years work ended on that day, the
date being fixed by statute. He says re-
garding the general conditions:
Everywhere the inspector found the
factories crowded to their fullest capacity
and straining every point to fill their or
ders. The hum of the machinery was as
music to the ear of the mechanic, and
seemed to serve the purpose of tightening
the burden of his labors and leave i'm
pressed on his countenance the smile of
contentedness."
This is why Ohio will go Republican
this year. \

ID. ii. Roberts Doubtful About Utah

Brigham III. Roberts Of Utah will be
well remembered by the American peo'
pie on account of the struggle over his
seat in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Roberts is n Democrat. Here are
his ideas on Utah:
"Candor compels me to admit that
Utah is doubtful State. Four years
ago Mr.. Bryan carried it by $1,000, but
there has been a marked change in senti-
ment since that time, and it is a serious
question whether the Republicans will
not win this fall. Most of those who
had left the party on the silver issue
have returned to the fold, and there is q
strong sentiment in favor Of expansion

The creation of the tin plate industry
stands as one OF the most marked in
stances of success in the history of the
country. The Republican principle OF
protection is directly responsible for the
establishment Of this new industry on
American soil.

Value of the New Industrx,

The value Of the American tin plate
produced in the United States from 1892
to 1898. both years inclusive, was $7O.-
100000. All Of this vast sum would have
gone abroad but for the esta blishment Of
the industry in America, made possible
by the protective tariff. That's Repub-
licanism.

Editor Nirginian Pilot:
These few remarks and suggestions
by lover of sport-who would be Il
racer but for an impeachment in his
speed merchants and to derisive pub
lie.
was much panied to observe the
disorder at Mondays road race. The
stoppage of traffic. the jostling OF the
crowd and ali other discomforts might
have been avoided. and Il good view OF
the race secured if the spectators had
not walked around with the racers.
The time prize should be a solid gold
medal, twenty-eight inches in diam
eter, with a streak of lightning
engraved on the diverse (repre-
tortoise recumbent on the reverse (rep-
resenting the speed of his competitors)
arranged with movable type, so the
winner can put in legends. superscrip-
tons, and details of the race to suit
himself.
The first prize should be an automo-
bile or motor pacing machine.
The second prize. a ginger bread BIZ
cycle, and consolation prize should
be given to every racer and to each of
his friends.
Another thing which causes bicker-
ings and heartburnings. is the large
number of stop watches held on the
race. Paddy Myers should be request
ed to purchase Il standard 90-cent
clock, and keep it behind the bar of
his road house alongside OF his free
air. There small boy could run in
now and then and ask the time.
Lastly, n practical suggestion easily
deducible from these desultory re-
marks is, that the friends of Dave Do
zier should make up purse and buy
him good wheel. b.
