The orator of the day at Grafton
on May so was His Honor, John
Homer Holt, Judge of this Judicial
Circuit and he delivered a magnifi-
cent address to the large crowd
present. The Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger next day published the Grafton
and a good picture of the Judge.
Several other papers also published
the address and it was well worth
hearing. Judge Holt is bound to
get to Congress yet, such an orator
does not have fair show on the
bench but in the halls of Congress
or on the stump he could display
this oratorical talent.

Another indication of prosperity
is the application of Mary Ellen
Lease for bankruptcy. This is one
of the best indications that the
people are too busy to listen to the
Populist calamity howlcts.
The above editorial from last
weeks Journal, is just where Hora-
ito slips a cog on himself on ac-
count Of not being posted or forget
full, one or the other During the
last campaign the above "Populist
calamity bowler" was on the stump
for Mckinley and the above term
may be correct after all. Mary
Ellen used TO be prosperous and
highly respected until she was se-
duced from The path of political
virtue during the last campaign by
the seductive smiles Of Mark Hanna
and she has been going from bad
to worse ever since, as is gen orally
the case with a woman led astray.
First her husband applied for a di-
yorce and now according to the
Journal she is bankrupt, having
lost husband, home. property, and
principle, ON account Of her polit-
ical dcbauchery. It's indeed more
than likely that the people are too
busy to listen to such calamity

1t is reported that there are
other candidates after the Grafton
postofice and that Bro. Jim Holt
of the Sentinel is having lively op-
position for another term. We
hope however that the present post
master will be able to retain his
Holt on the office another term as
he deserves it and has given good
satisfaction. The patrons Of the
office are almost unit for Holt and
it is only few of the politicians
who are against him. We are for
the newspaper boys every time as
they do more for their party than
all the politicians put together.

High School Inspection.

The State Board of Education de-
cided Wednesday to inspect the high
schools of the state each year. A list
of lis such schools that will be visit
ed the ensuing year was prepared.
The duty of visiting the schools will
be apportioned among the members,
and each member will submit to the
board a report of the schools inspected
by him, and the report thus made
the question of issuing new commits
sions or renewing old commissions of
high schools will be decided.
The inspection about to begin will
be, says state Superintendent of Pub.
lie Instruction Jones, the most thor
ough inspection of all high schools
that has ever been made in the state.
The board of education announced its
intention to require of all high schools
full compliance with the rules and
regulations in regard to course of
study, teaching force, sanitary build
ings, library, apparatus, etc.

Reduce Freight Rates on Hay.

The hay men of Indiana and other
Western States are making warm
fight before the Iuterstate-cOmmerce
Commission at Chicago in favor of a
reduction of railroad rates on hay,
which are now about twice as high as
the rate on grain. 1t is said tbat as
a result of this nearly 81 900, 900 worth
of hay was imported from Canada dur
ing the first nine months of 1900,
while for the whole year previous to
that time less than One-fourth of that
amount was Imported. Produce deal
ers say Western hay has been practi.
cally forced out of distant markets
by the excessive rates the railroads are
charging. 1t is the duty of the Int
erstate-commerce Commission to pre-
vent such determinations.

The following story, which is vouch-
ed for by an Illinois paper, may be
true, but we should hate to swear to
it:
sLast week a woman in near by
town went to the telegraph Office and
informed the operator that her hus-
band had gone to Chicago to get a
motto for Sunday-school, but she
had forgotten to tell him the inscrip-
tion or how large the motto was to be.
She wanted to know how long ii would
be before her husband could get the
particulars if she sent them by tele-
graph. She was told. The operator
was startled when lie read it, for with
out explanation 1t said: My Dear
Frank, Saratoga Hotel, Chicago. en-
to us child is born, 8 feet long and ?
feet wide. !"
