Country papers continue to point
out the necessity of protecting the
cartridges to let them recoup from
the failure brought about by the
rains in the spring and summer.
The Port Gibson ReYeiIle suggests
that unless the boards Of superri-

ties of the state take steps to pro

to mention the loss of the quail OF

THE GERMAN VOTE.

The German vote in Ohio is very
considerable element of the Republi-
can strength. In 1896 Mckinley got be-
tween 80 and 90 per cent Of the Ger
man vote, but this year, so prominent
Germans say, the vote will be reversed.
And, when it is figured that there are,
according to the best available statis-
tics, 161 400 German voters in Ohio, this
vote is seen to be a most important
factor in deciding elections.
The Germans, perhaps more than
any other nationality, have occasion to
know the meaning Of Imperialism and
militarism, of standing armies and mil
itary service. such as will be the heri-
tage Of American youth IL imperialism
and its attendant evils are fastened on
the country. The German vote in the
debatable states, compiled by the
Toledo Bee. as follows:

"THE FINAL WORD"

Under the caption, "a Final Word to
Citizens" Editor w. S. Cappeller, Of
the Mansfield News. Saturday night
published the following in black type
at the head Of his editorial column:
Nobody can predict what the next
twenty-four hours may bring to pass.
In times Of excitement and uproar such
as may result in Mansfield, 1t Is a duty
incumbent upon every citizen to act
strictly within the law. to be peaceful
and law-abiding and to refrain from
act or word tending to promote breach
of the peace. Their own homes will be
a good place for all citizens tomorrow
Keep away from any and all places
where there is likely to be a great crowd
or any scene of disturbance. Personal
curiosity does not justify any one in
helping to swell a crowd at any place
Of probable disturbance and riot.

The president has written to Perry
Heath that he accepts his resignation
and is sorry to lose him. 1t was under
Heath's immediate administration that
the Cuban postal frauds occurred and
the felicitous correspondence with
reference to the resignation is simply a
blind to let the late first assistant post
master general down easy. Heath was
SO anxious to set himself right that he
got both the president and Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith to write
letters to him telling him what a great
fellow he is and incidentally mention
ing that he was needed worse by the
Republican party than by the govern
ment, a reference that will receive
liberal applause among the people.

MORE CENSUS TALK.

Akron Democrat: Akron people can
count upon the census returns showing
population for their city of between
1900 and $4,000. This estimate Is near
enough to the true figure to satisfy the
most exacting. A gain Of 10000 in ten
years or nearly 60 per cent of the total
population in 1890, is a showing that
will be made by few Ohio cities.
Youngstown Telegram: What! Ak
ron only $1,000! And we were told how
the county-seat of old Summit was 60
ing to leave Youngstown in the rear
when the census man made his report.
But Akron did the best she could.
BY reaching out for miles of farming
districts she was able to push the total
up to the 10000 mark. We haven't been
doing anything in the annexing line and
haven't been making any boasts, but
when the result Is announced the city
will show a most remarkable gain. The
total may not be 10000 or $4,000, but it
will be enough to cause Akron and
Canton to do a lot Of explaining.

Youngstown, like it's neighbor Niles,
the birthplace of the great friend Of
trusts, is getting it's trust experience.
More mills have been closed down by
the Republic. Iron and Steel company.
1t is claimed that there is a disagree
ment as to the wage scale, but 1t is not
apparent that the company insists on
paying the men more than they are
willing to accept. A great many
Youngstown people who have studied
the situation are of the opinion that the
wage controversy was raised as blind
so as to give the trust an excuse to
shut down another mill since compe-
tition, the essence Of trade, has been
completely stified. Three hundred men
are thrown out Of employment and their
wives and children will feel the suffer-
ing attendant upon that fact. The
criminal trust. which is being bled quite
freely for the Republican campaign
fund. is getting in Its work early and
quite effectively. ULs 1I a4

GERMANS AGAINST MCKINLEY.

Mr.. Otto Doederlein, chief Of the
German press bureau, furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting statement concern
ing the German-American vote. 1t is
a sufficient answer to the absurd pre-
tense that this important element of
the voting population is devoted to Me-
Kinleyism and Indifference to the i'm
perialistic course Of the Mckinley ad-
ministration. Mr.. Doederlein says:
II have on file in my Office about
$500 letters from prominent Germans
in Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
the Dakotas, which reflect the senti-
ment of the German voters in these
states.
I'm 1896, according to these commnni-
cations, not one-fifth of the German
voters supported Bryan, for the reason
that the position taken by the Demo-
cratic party on the money question was
not approved by them, and that Mr..
Hanna succeeded by his campaign of
Misrepresentation, slander and black
mail, to prejudice even those against
Mr.. Bryan, who for years fought the
high protective tariff as a measure
benefitting the few at the expense Of
the many.
II find it is the belief among the
German voters that the election Of Mr.
Mckinley was a grave and serious mis-
take. A Democratic administration
never could have been. as disastrous to
the very life Of the republic as has
been the regime of Mr.. Mckinley.
"The Germans are not inclined to dis.
cuss any other question, while the
administration is controlled by a num-
ber of men, representing NOT the people
but trusts, degrading the president and
Mr.. Hay into mere servants obedient
to Mr.. Chamberlain, Salisbury & Co.,
whose influence in the white house is
greater today than that of the Amer-
can people. For 1t Is a fact, that the
protest sent to President Mckinley and
the resolutions adopted in numberless
mass meetings throughout the country
against the English alliance, in the
murderous war against our sister re-
publics, were ignominiously ignored.
1.-THE German voters will not be satis-
fed until the constitution. the declara-
tion of independence and the flag which
stands for both, are restored to the au-
thority and dignity which they have
enjoyed since July 4, 1776.
"The Germans are unanimous in de-
claring with Senator Hoar: TO follow
the flag is to follow the principle of
freedom and humanity for which it
stands. To claim that we must follow
1t when 1t stands for justice or op-
preston is like claiming that we must
take the nostrums of the auack doctor
who stamDs II on his wares Or follow
every scheme Of wickedness or fraud,
IL only the flag be put at the head
of prospectus. The American flag is in
more danger from the imperialistic
than there would be If the whole Of
Christendom were to combine its pow
er against it. The Germans will not
allow themselves to be deceived by
Mark Hanna"

COLONEL LIsCUM's WIFE.
(Army and Navy Register.)

The widow Of Colonel E. H. Liscum,
u. S. A., who remained behind in
Manila when her husband went to
China, won fame during the Indian
wars. She was once penned up for a
week in stockade in Wyoming with
her husband and little band of men,
when she not only served ammunition
at times to the men. but also handled
rifle by the side of her husband,
three Indians falling before her un-
erring aim. Mrs. Liscum was Miss May
Diven, second daughter of the late
General Alexander S. Diven, formerly
acting president Of the Erie railway.
Upon General Diven's death, four years
ago, she inherited large estate, in
cluding half interest in Willow Brook,

THE NORTH CAROLINA TEST.

A great deal is being said just now
about the result Of the election in
North Carolina, where the Democrats
made a gain of more than thirty thou
sand plurality. 1t is declared that the
negro has been disfranchised totally
and that other outrages against the
race have been committed. The fact
is that the election law of North Caro-
lima does not disfranchise the negro.
but makes 1t imperative that every
voter be required to be able to read at
least portion Of the constitution Of
the United States. This applies to
whites as well as blacks. If they can't
read they can't vote. That condition is
rather sensible after all, isn't 1t? II a
man cannot get sense enough in his
head to learn to read how is he going to
get sense enough to know how to vote
right? Surely our Republican friends
are not insisting that the fellows that
cannot read have been in the habit Of

not able to read are disfranchised. the
Democratic majority takes a tremen-

happened in North Carolina. The Re-
publican press that seems to feel so
badly about the result in North Caroli-
ma should tell all the truth and while

1t appears that the real purpose Of the
Chinese government is to drive the
foreigners out Of the country. They
may not be able to drive them from the

A VERY QUIET VOTE.

T. c. Reynolds, late editor o. the
Wooster Republican, in his Akron Star
says:
"The antitrust vote will be vest
pocket vote from men who have suffer-
ed by the trade combina ions, or are in
perpetual peril of their positions, al"
though still holding them. Their num-
ber may loom up larger In the ballot
boxes than the party calculators will
like to look upon, but then 1t will be
too late anyway. The men who will
vote the way that they think will hurt
the trusts most are not talking about
it on the street corners.

serves as a general pointer as to what
is likely to happen in Illinois this fall
Just at this time It can be said with
absolute verify that with the various
elements united firmly against Hanna
ism, a repetition of the feeling Of last
year crystalized, the chances of Repub-
licans to carry Ohio are no better nor as
good as the chance for the Democrats to
carry Illinois.

CULLED FROM EXCHANGES.
(St. Louis Republic.)

The travelling man is nobody's fool for
any considerable length Of time. He
was Mr.. McKinley's fool In 1896, and he
paid bitterly for his folly. He will not
repeat the performance this year. He
has learned that he is the very first vio-
tim OF the trust system. He will fight
the trust system with all the strength
at his command. And this means thai t
he must fight Mr.. Mckinley, the trust
candidate for president Of the United
States.

much stronger. There is much in the
