VIEWS OF MIR. CHAMBERLAIN

and the deep sea.
VIEWS OF MIR. CHAMBERLAIN,
Discussing the subject few years
ago. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the pres
ent Secretary CT State for the Colonies,
expressed a doubt as to whether the
legislation on the subject of electoral
bribery was not too stringent, declar-
ing that If the judges intrusted with
the trial of election cases administered
IL laws bearing on the subject in
str.c. accordance with the letter of the
ss;Ite instead of tempering their in
terpretations thereof with a consider
able amount of discretion hardly a
single member of Parliament would be
able to retain his seat. In illustration
CT the drawbacks of the election laws,
he mentioned the case of member of
Parliament who was unseated at
Stcurbrldge for the sole reason that
he had a short time before the election
Promised one of the voters the loan of
one of his agricultural machines or
implements. The Right Hon. Jesse
Ceilings, too now Under Secretary for
the Home Department, was unseated
on a charge of bribery at Ipswich
solely because one of his agents or
committeeman had promised to pay
the Daltry sum of IS Cd, that is to
say, less than 81, for the purpose of de-
fraying the cost of the railway ticket
TO Ipswich of a single voter who was
temporarily absent from the borough
THE judge before whom the case
was brought for trial." added Mr.
Chamberlain, deemed this single cir
cumstance sufficient cause to unseat
Mr.. Ceilings The candidate, as you
will see by Mr.. Ceilings case, is far
too dependent upon the honesty and
actions of his committeeman. Thus in
a committee of one hundred it is quite
possible that the candidate should
have a secret enemy, who by one pet
ty act of indiscretion, whether unin-
tenticnal or otherwise, and without
tie candidates knowledge and sane
t.C1, is able to bring about the annul-
r'ent of the election. In one instance
even it is related, though l cannot alb
sclutely vouch for the fact, that the
committeeman of one candidate bribed
certain voters to vote for his opponent
whose success was already assured, in
order that they might have sufficient
grounds upon which to secure the new
member being unseated and deprived
of his eligibility to stand for Parlia-
ment during a subsequent period of
seven years"

WhlShey Poisoning.

That whisky poisoning case which
caused such an excitement at Woods
field last week has revived with still
greater interest and speculations. 1t
was at first supposed that the death
of VILLAIN Dixon and the severe ill
ness of friend were caused by bad
grade of speak-easy whisky. Suspi-
cions were working, however, and it
seems that one mans love for another
mans wife was the cause. William
Dixon and William Dement,, both oil
drillers, resided in Woodsfeld, Ohio.
They were fast friends and were fire.
quently together. DiXon's wife, a
beautiful woman, was admired by De-
ment, who is also married, but whose
wife is an invalid with consumption.
There has been some talk occasioneS
by Dement'S attentions to Dixon wife,
but it had either not come to DiXon's
ears or he paid no attention to it, as
the friendly relations of the men con-
tlnued.
Last Thursday Dement, presented
Dixon with bottle of whisky, which
TIE latter accepted. He proceeded to
pap.ake of it with friend, with the
result that he is now dead, and the
friend narrowly escaped like fate.
1t has been discovered that Dement,
recently purchased strychnine in
Woodsield, and he has been placed
under arrest on suspicion of being the
cause of the death of Dixon. A por-
t.cn of the bottle of whisky has been
received at the Dairy and Food Com
mlsEioner's Office and turned over to
the drug inspector for analysis.
DiXon's stomach has also been sent
fer examination as to the evidence of
s,rychnine poisoning.

FOOLING SOME ONE.
General Lew Wallace Thinks MIR. Bryai
Il Too Ccpious.

General Lew Wallace Thinks MIR. Bryan
Il To" C"pious.
General Lew Wallace holds that
Bryan can not be a candidate for three
parties at once, without intending to
fool some one." Bryan's free silver
program is menace to the business
interests of the country" and then
adds General Wallace:
Finally, am opposed to Mr.. Bryan,
as | hold him directly responsible for
the death Of every one OF the brave
American soldiers slain in the Philip
pines. 1t is the encouragement held
out to the rebels by Mr.. Bryan and
others of his idea that keeps up the
struggle there. The war was over, but
the sympathy and promises held out
by MIR. Bryan have caused the fighting
to break out afresh and it will, from
this time on until concluded be fraught
with more disaster to our boys, for
they have slowly and surely been
teaching their adversaries how to fight
Fer each Iaan who falls there, be he
Inspired by the sense of duty, or the
lcye OF war Mr.. Bryan is responsible
The thought of electing such man
as this to the presidency is utterly
rCpugnant."

HARRISON TALKS.
His Utterance Upon the Issues
of the Campaign.
v0TELs CAN N0T RE AOH ONE.

Whether tho Constitution Foli"ws the
alag Is Mater s leiy For the SUI
pr-me Court Neither the Voters Nor
Congress Can ID eide the Matter.
The most notable point in the inter.
view of cX-President Harrison on the
Political situation is that in which lie
discusses his difference of opinion with
the administration as to the absolute
po"cr of congress over the territory
OF The United States. On the question
o. Forto Rico, he thinks the stu
atlcl is wrong-but he says-anl
this is the point we wish to emphasize:
1T is legal question-one that the
political departments of the govern
ment can not fully adjudge. The final
ami controlling word upon this ques-
tion is with the supreme court of the
United States Cases involving the
question are pending, and a decision
il which we all must acquiesce can not
he much longer deferred. | think
therefore, that voters ought to vote
with view to the right decision with
these questions that are directly ami
finally in the control of the president
and congress-
This is the view which would not
suit Mr.. Bryan and the anti-imperial-
is4tc howlers to accept, but it is the
one true view.
The question whether the constitu-
ton follows the Gag is one which the
supreme court alone can decide. AS
MIR. Harrison says, cases are now pend
ing in that court which involve this
question. When that decision is rem.
dered it must be final. This question
has never been brought before that
court, strange as it may appear. Let
every voter consider the fact that, no
matter what he thinks upon it, his vote
can not influence or direct it one way
or the other.
But to vote for Mr.. Bryan because Of
this would lie sheer folly; for Mr. Bry
an, if elected president, and even con-
gress, has no power whatever over the
matter. 1t does not come within the
purview of the executive nor of the
lawmaking power, but belongs in the
Supreme court alone. This is the only
point in which Mr.. Harrison disagrees
with the present administration. lie
declares that he is energetically in IA
yor of the reelection of President Nc
Kinley and Of Republican congress,
ana he gives his reasons in most
compact but powerful way in his clos
irg paragraph. He says:
"The economic policies of the Re
publican party have been vindicated by
the remarkable and general prosperity
that has developed during Mr.. McKin
ley's administration, succeeding a per
iol of great depression. A change of
administration this fall would renew
conditions from which we have so hap
PLY escaped. The full dinner pail is
not sordid emblem. 1t means more
comfort for the wife and family, more
schooling and less work for the chill
dren, and a margin of saving for sick
ness and old age"

Additional Lots al Oak Grove.

The work of laying out additional
lots, which has been going on for some
time under the direction of the Gene
terry Trustees at Oak Grove cemetery,
is now nearly completed. A part of
the low ground on the side next to
Eighth street has been filled with dirt
from the excavation for the vault and
chapel and about rs lots will be added
They will be needed right away, as no
lots were left except on high ground.
The new lots have as good locations
as any in the cemetery.

Faithful.

Mrs. Sarah Holmes, who has just
died in Washington at the age of sew
enty years, was the first colored wom-
an ever appointed to position under
the United States government. While
at work as charwoman in the Treas
ury Building in 1863 she discovered a
large number of Treasury notes in a
waste basket.
She Immediately recognized that a
big blunder had been made. She
wrapped the notes in a bundle and
then sat down on it, determined to
wait the coming of Treasurer Spinner,
it being the latters custom to visit
the Treasury every night. Mrs.
Holmes heard the footsteps of Mr..
Spinner and shouted to him. He has
tened to her, with pistol in hand not
knowing what to expect. She hand
ed him the money, still in sheets, and
he was SO pleased that he left a stand
ing request that her position should
airy raised to comfortable sum. On
another occasion she detected man
stealing $4,000 from the counting
room of the Treasury. She caused his
arrest and the money was recovered.
Mrs. Holmes was liked by everybody
in the Treasury, where she was ia
miliarly known as "Old Sophie"

Glass Party.

The class of 1901 of the High School
was entertained Monday evening at
the home of Celia Palmer, on Greene's
road, near Norwood. About 35 were
present and participated in the Dutch
party, which was the order of the eve
ming. The girls were dressed in
Dutch costumes and a Dutch lunch
was served, consisting of cheese, bo-
logna, sauerkraut, etc. The party
broke up after IL o'clock and all report
a good time.

FROM COURTHOUSE TO FOUNDRY
The Door and Archway Of the Old Court
house VIII See Service In Both.

Just three weeks Tuesday Pattin
Bros began clearing away the debris
from the site of the fire which des-
troyed their machine shops about two
months ago. A great deal of work
was to be done in clearing away the
wreck and ruin of that confiagration,
but the work went steadily on and ex-
cavations were soon made for a new
building. In short time the work
was completed and the brick masons
began their operations. About 600
feat OF llneal foundation has been laid,
and with no rain or inclement weather
interfering the walls will be finished
by Saturday night.
Bricks from the old Court House
are being used for the structure. For
the Harmar street entrance the front
door of the old Court House has been
pressed into service. Truly a strange
mutation of fate that the door through
which many a learned barrister of
law, many a victim of the lawyers
wiles, and many sorrowing tax pay
er has passed through and gone sor-
rowing or rejoicing on his way as the
case might be, now does duty in
foundry to expel the winters flaw"
The keystone of that self same old
Court House Of ours has also found
resting place by the side of the old
arched doorway and will serve to
guard the portals as in days gone by.

ADMIT A PANIC,

Oh, mere trifle-perhaps so per
cent panic, some such matter of
shrinkage IN values, might happen
to Wall street and perhaps to some
of the banks, is the way the Bryanites
got around the certainty that his cleo
tion would precipitate acute business
troubles. That's the way Democrats
talked eight years ago, when they
trapped the people into voting for free
trade, and pretty quietly everybody
found out that the trouble in the mon
ey markets meant trouble for every
body everywhere. Does burnt child
dread the fire?

Editorial Notes.

Ouoth Bishop Potter: IF nv son

cali him an ass. On the other hand. if
he came to me after having married one
| should try to make the best Of the sit

In Louisiana the creoles are descend
ants of the early French and Spanish
settlers, and are, or were, the leaders of
society. The word means native, and
does not, as many suppose, imply mix
ture of African blood. In some of the
West India islands the term NAV be
thus applied.
Those who proclaim prohibition a
failure and advocate local option as the
best practical method of solving the
liquor problem, will be interested in the
statements of the Washington, d. c.,
Evening star concerning the workings
of local option in Montgomery county.
Maryland The Star says:
The laws of Maryland strictly pro-
hibit the selling of liquor on Sunday.
The local option law of Montgomery
county prohibits the selling of liquor
at any time. 1t is fragrant fact that
both of these laws are constantly VIC
lated from one end of Montgomery
county to the other The local option
law of Montgomery county has been
thoroughly disregarded. Some idea of
the state of affairs can be found from
the fact that in Montgomery county
100 government licenses for the sale of
liquor, wholesale, are in existence. This
means only one thing-that in that
county, supposed to be surrounded by a
strict local option law, at least 1870 of
what are commonly known as "speak-
easies" are in existence. How many
more there are is an unsolved question,
but people familiar with the conditions
say that 1870 will not begin to tell the
tale.
The Star then goes on to say that
mot only is this law violated every
day, openly, brazenly, but the State
Sunday law is thoroughly torn into
shreds once every week. There is not
a day and hardly an hour from one
weeks end to another when a conscien-
tious officer of the law in Montgomery
county could not secure evidence suffi-
Gent to close up anyone of these
