DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET,
A REPUBLICAN Duo.

United States Senators Hanna and
Elkins have broken forth into song,
this time in the columns of the New
York Herald. The duo has been sung
moro sweetly. In fact, there is a dis
tirct discordant note in the effort-it
might be said there are several.
At the outset Of the number Senator
Hanna had a solo part, to an obligato
by Mr.. Scott, the scene being the New
York headquarters of the campaign
committee. Mr. Hanna lamented the
lack of funds. Contributions were
coming in very slowly, and the work of
the committee was being seriously re-
tarded. Then there was a recitative
about the situation in Maryland. It
was not reassuring for the Republic
ans. THE campaign in that State is
involved, and the Republicans are not
at all sure of carrying Ii for Mckinley
and Roosevelt" This leads I'D to a
baritone solo, in which the Senator
sings:
"In West Virginia a desperate battle Is
IN progress, which is expected to result
in Democratic disaster but still the re-
suit Is enough in uoubt to cause worri-
ment."
No doubt there is cause for worri-
inent." But Senator Hanna proceeds.

Attorney-at-LaW George ]. Thoinp-
son, of Anderson, Monroe county,
lifelong Republican and a prominent
citizen, has issued a letter to the public
in which he asserts that he cannot sup
port the Republican state ticket.
Among other things, he says that the
party in West Virginia is principally
controlled by men who left the Dem
ocratic party in search of offices, and
that the sons of rich men and the rel
atives of those whom fortune has ia
vored have been largely selected to fill
official positions. without regard to
their capacity, while deserving Repub
licans have been turned down. Mr..
Thompson will support Holt and the
entire Democratic ticket.

A. B. White, w. M o. Dawson and
Cove rnor Atkinson It's an exultant
pean the Senator sings quite in con-
trast with the minor chords of Mr..
Hanna's lead. Mr.. Elkins suggests in
4 falsetto voice that:
"On the question of expansion we will
divide the Democrats. The issues will be
more along the lines of sound money and
good times But there is a percentage
of Democrats who will vote for us on all
these three issues. | think that my peo-
pie can be generally said to be in favor
of expansion.
Are the Democrats using the scare of
militarism, down there?'' Senator Elkins
was asked.
4 suppose they will try it, but it ought
not to work among sensible folks. Mill
tarism. Why, that is favorite cry. All
the leaders who have had anything to do
with armies or war have been charged
with militarism. The scare was used in
the times of Lincoln and Grant. But the
armies of the civil war were quietly dis
persed and the bugaboo of militarism was
then dtssipated. Lincoln was called a ty-
rant and Grant was termed butcher
when they were fighting to preserve the
live
There is no danger of our having
large standing army. 1t Is contrary TO
the genius of this republic. We don't need
IL, we don want II, and, what Is more,
the people will refuse to be taxed to sup
port IT.
Tho canteen is not an issue. The
President has followed the advice of the
senior officers in the army, Democrats as
well as Republicans, that the canteen was
on the whole the best thing for the army.
OF course, he might have ordered 1t abol-
ished, but that would be a crazy thing TO
do in the face or the deliberate Judgment
of the officers, and. mind you, these Off
GERS are not in politics"
At this point the audience wept, for
it realized that the star vocalists were
not in accord. Mr.. Hanna is inclined
10 view things in their real light; Mr..
Elkins takes roseate view. To him
the world is all purple and gold, the
brooks MARBLE Of coming success, and
the rustic of the trees fills him with en-
tkusiastic assurances of ultimate vic
tory. Mr.. Hanna is bracing himself to
meet a severe shock. Mr.. Elkins, liv-
Ing in the clouds, is destined to fall
with dull, sickening thud

Our own soldiers. who suffered cruel
privations from scanty supplies and from
the laundering which delayed their land

pressed by the enterprise and foresight
OF the japanese military authorities.
There was neither delay nor confusion in
the bringing of their many regiments and
supplies TO the shore, a sufficient number
of lighters having been forwarded in time
to begin work the instant the transports
dropped their anchors. American officers
and soldiers have nothing TO gain in cour-

those of other armies, but 1t is a pity

THE ICE MAN.

How dear to our hearts is the slow nov
ing ice man
When hot summer morning presents
him 10 view,
When the ice in the ice box has long ago
melted
And the heat was oppressive all the
night through
The kindhearted ice man. the slow-mov-
ing iceman.
The good natured ice man that takes
his own time.
How ardent we greet him with words
that are glowing.
When out in the hallway we hear his
light tread
In very cool way he deposits his bur-
den:
Then we freeze in our minds every word
that we said
About the kind hearted ice man. the
slow moving ice man.
The good nafured ice man, that takes
his own time.

Responsibility for Trusts.

IndianapoIis Sentinel
Attorney General Monnett of Ohio bold
ly declares that the Republican leaders
are in league with the trusts to enable
them to rob the people and destroy the
very foundations OF free government.
He states the unquestionahle truth that
many of the neceSsaries of life are from
90 10 400 per cent. higher than they would
be if trust control were removed and
that this condition is brought about BY
governmental favors conferred by thu
Republican party. The Republican party
has prevented the passing of any effect
i've law for the suppression OF trusts and
is now trying in every way to divert at
tention from them.

No Hope in That Quarter,

If the Republicans hope for any con-
siderable gold Democratic support, or
even indifference" in that quarter, in
the present canvass they will learn their
mistake when the votes are counted.
Practically the solid support of the Gold
Democrats, as we'll as that of thousands
of Republicans, will be merged with the
Democratic army for the election Of Bry-
an and Stevenson on the paramount issue
of anti-imperialism.

Macbeth, Act v, Scene 5.
Verify this is the season of heat"
as typified by Arnold in his India
poem For four blisterlng days the
mercury in Wheeling has averaged SO
degrees by the standard thermometer
az its maximum, and for four nights
there has been no rest either for the
good citizen or the wicked. Through
out two million square miles, from tie
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains
to the sandy beaches of the Atlantic, a
hot wave has encompassed the land,
and forty million people have swelter
ed under shield of brass by day and
gasped and perspired by night beneath
a moonlit sky dull with vapors which
but accumulated the oppressiveness
and without a breeze.
The hot wave came from the land
OF the Dacotas, the home of the biz
Yard, and the territory given over to
early frosts and deep SHOWS in win
ter. From along the line of the
Northern Pacific has come the sultry
blast which has stricken down hun
dreds in the great cities and caused
suffering and inconvenience to many
millions Last week, while we in the
Ohio Valley were still enjoying the
most delightful weather, there came
news from North Dakota that there
has been registered a temperature OF
Ill in the shade and that all records
were broken. The next day came the
tidings that the thermometer was 105.
For several days thereafter it aver
aged 100, and for days past we have
been getting the burden of this blast
OF hot air from the semi-tropical re-
land made famous by Bill Nye as the
locality where the tiger roareth in the
jungles, the hippopotamus crashes his
teeth along the reedy water courses,
and the voice of the lion is heard by
night and day; where the monkey
joyously leaps from bough to bough,
snd where the whang-doodle pipes his
mournful lay throughout the drowsy
summer time. In winter the Dacotas
constitute a sea of ice and land OF
snow, but in summer the territory IS
the Madras of America, where heat
apoplexy is the only disease to be
feared, and where the deadly cobra
leaves his venomous trail through the
sitting dust.
America is a great country. On
Wednesday it showed in Colorado.
From Atlanta, according to the Con-
stitution, which is a truthful and re-
putable paper, we gather that summer
resort weather is being enjoyed. and
that fall overcoats are meeting with
ready sale. Our troops coming home
from Cuba en- route to the Philippines
and China, regret that they didn't
bring their summer clothes, and at

poorer people, despite free Ice funds,
free air funds, and all the rest OF
charitable plans for ameliorating the
condition of the masses, are suffering
almost the torments of the condemned,
and the lists of deaths and prostra-
tons is long one daily.
The worst of it is, no relief is in

on July Sd General Stessel advised nun

The next entry is dated July 4th, and
reads: "The Russians evacuated the ran
road depot at $50 this morning. AS the
post is absolutely indispensable to protect
the French concession, a force OF Jap

Maroles' report thus shows that there
was no accord, even between the french
and Russians.

French commander eulosizins the splend.d
