STRUCK THE KEY NOTE.

Of the speeches made at the Lincoln
banquet at Cincinnati, the one on Abra-
ham Lincoln, accentuated by the heart
mess of the applause as the best, was
that of Gen. r. B. Cowen, one of the
salt of the earth. The Cincinnati Trib-
une's account of the banquet, contained
the following:
Senator Foraker's unstinted praise of
Gen. Governs paper on Abraham Lin
coin was felt TO be no more than was
due the comprehensive and signally
able effort of the venerable speaker
and it is safe to say that every one who
heard the speech would highly prize
the possession of printed copy.
PARTY SENTIMENT.
The speeches of Congressmen Moody
and Senator Foraker were also felt tC
be of Importance, as indicating the par
ty sentiment on the greatest issue that
will be presented in the campaign this
year. When Congressman Moody de-
clared we must keep our faith regard
ing Cuba, and must hold and govern
the other islands as the necessities may
require, but always with the idea O
giving tno people Ol all OI Gnem Gnt
greatest liberty and self-government o.
which they were capable. Senator For
aker declared he had struck the key
note of the campaign, and the audience
heartily applauded.
Senator Foraker's own statement O.
the result of the Senatorial Commit
tees investigations into the conditions
of the island possessions. and the rec
concentrations of the form of govern
ment best to be given them, was listen
ed to with much interest, and his reel
tai of Democratic precedents in tht
government of territorial acquisition
| of the past was instructive to degree
BY showing that Louisiana, Mississippi
Indiana, Missouri, and all the terrific
ries which were acquired before the
Mexican war, had been taken in as pos
sessions under the ordinance of 1877
| and that the Constitution of the United
States had not at first been extended t,
them, he showed how Democratic pre-
cedent has confounded those who now
declare Congress has no power to pre-
scribe such government as it chooses
| for the Philippines and the other is
lands secured from the Spanish.

THE GREENBACKS.
Senator Allison Says They Will Not
Be Retired.

Senator Allison, in a speech in the
Senate, Tuesday, on the Currency bill
now before that body, said:
''Under the bill, the greenbacks can
not be retired. | want to say that the
retirement of the greenbacks or any
part of our money should never be at
tempted without the most careful scru-
tiny and the wisest consideration of
the legislation providing for it,
We are glad to see this statement
from one who is in a position to know
whereof he speaks. Newspaper reports
of the bill have been, that it provided
that no greenbacks should be paid out
would mean that none would be paid
out, and that they would thus be retired.

JUDGE DOW
VIII Not Be a Candidate for Con-
greSS.

Judge Duncan Dow; says the State
Journal, is being urged by friends to
enter the race for the nomination from
the Eighth Congressional district.
Judge Dow has been approached by d
number of his Republican supporters
upon several occasions, but he has so
far refused to agree with their views.
They believe, however, that before the
convention meets he will be in the
race. Judge Dow would have Logan
county solid at his back. He is a strong
man. He has served in both Ohio Sen
ate and house, and while member of
the upper body, drafted what is known
as the Liquor law; that stands on the
statutes today. He is one of the most
popular Republicans in the Eighth
Congressional district. - Marysville
Tribune.
Judge Dow has set all speculations on
this question at rest, by informing
Judge Warnock and some of our cit
zens who have asked him, that he will
not be a candidate for Congress, but
will serve out his term as Common
Pleas Judge.

The English Have Gained q Decided
Advantage.

London, Feb. 15.-The British army,
for the first time since the war began
is inside the Boer frontier. Lord Rob
erts, with at least 40, 600 infantry, 1000
cavalry and $50 guns, has turned the
Magersfontein lines, before which the
British forces have been encamped for
ten weeks, and with half of his corps,
he is already operating on Free State
territory. A battle has not yet been
fought, but large tactical advantages
have been gained. The relief of Kim
berly is within measurable reach, and
the way to Bloemfontein is appreciably
easier.
The dispatches of Lord Roberts
sketch three days work. The forward
movement began on Sunday, when Col.
Hannay set out with brigade Of
mounted infantry for Ramah, on the
Reit, eight miles from Jacobsdal, one
of the Boer supply bases.
On Monday, Gen. French, with the
cavalry division, seized the crossing of
the Reit River at Dekils Drift, south of
Jacobsdal, and Is miles east of Honey
Nest Kloof.
He skirmished with the Beers and
cleared the way for 20, 900 infantry, who
| followed across.
On Tuesday, with his three cavalry
brigades and the horse artillery, Gen.
French rode to the Modder River. q
distance of 25 miles, and took three
fords with high ground beyond the riv
er, and five Boer camps. He had few
casualties in brushes with the Boel
horse.
| Gen. French has now fixed himsel
on Gen. Cronje's main line of commu
nications with Bloemfontein, and 20, 00(
infantry, with u guns, are being push
ed up to support him there.
Lord Roberts dispatches, wired from
inside the Free State and on the Rel
River left him Wednesday morning
His advance had not been opposed b,
the Beers in force. Their patrols melt
ell away as the British moved forward
The Boer army is likely to be felt in ;
day or two. and battle is consequent
ly imminent. AS to what forces Gen
Cronie has now at his disposal, aud a
to where he purposes making a stant
against the invaders, no one here con
nected with the War Office knows any
thing.

THE Board of Public Works built
Sl2. 900 lock at Portsmouth, to lock
canal boats into the Ohio river, where
there was no trade, when the only
trade over the canal at that port in a
whole year would not equal the busi-
ness of one Big Four freight train.
Yet the editor of the Sidney Journal
never heard of any corruption charged
AGAINST the Public Works. And Blink
1v talks about the ignorance of others.
This comes of washing his eyes with
canal water.

The movements of the British army
under Gen. Roberts has been making
decisive movements this week, and ere
this has probably engaged the Boer

ers, in its march north, holds the

and was within IS miles of Kimberly on

Chicago, was a fiasco. Any reform
that falls under the leadership of such
men as Altgelt, Ignatius Donnelly, Ger,
Weaver and Jerry Simpson, needs the
PRAYERS of the church. The people OF

parties to lay the axe to the root OF the
great Trust tree that is already over
shadowing the land.

Drying preparations simply develop dry
catarrh; they dry up the secretions which ad-

far more serious trouble than the ordinary
form Of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants

Nature "makes all things beautiful in their
time" Every one Of life's seasons, when life
moves on Natures lines, has its own charm
and beauty. Many woman dread that period
when they must experience change Of life.
They fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to please
those for whom they live. The value Of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription in this crisis OF
womans life lies in the fact that it assists
Nature. Its use preserves the balance and
buoyancy of the mind and sustains the
physical powers. Many women have express
ed their gratitude for the help and comfort
given by "Favorite Prescription" in this try
ing peroid. Its benefits are not passing but
permanent and conduce to mental happiness
as well as physical strength.
