WOLF. AT the residence of his
mother, Mrs. Jane Wolf, on Third
street, Oakland, on Friday last, after
an illness of several months of con-
sumption, Charles c. Wolf. aged about
thirty years. The young man was a
great sufferer for long time, having
been a sufferer twice from an attack
of typhoid fever within the past two
years which ultimately eliminated in
consumption. His home was at Key
ser, w. Va, where he was first taken
ill. Some weeks ago he was brought
to Oakland, his friends thinking the
change would be beneficial, but the
disease had developed to such an ex-
tent that nature could not recuperate
and the services of physicians were
of no avail, except probably to pro-
long the struggle for life. The de-
ceased leaves widow and one little
child, besides his mother, two broth
ers and a sister. He was a member
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trs in
men of Cumberland, and up to the
time of his illness was employed by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as a
freight brakeman. His funeral took
place on Monday at Keyser, the in
terment being made in the Keyser
cemetery.
KILDow.-Mrs. Hopwood Kildow,
of near Oakland, died on Friday last
after short illness of typhoid-pne
monia. The deceased lady was the
mother of number of children. Her
funeral took place ON Sunday.

MARTINS FERRY, o., June /, 1901.
To the Editor of the Republican.
l thought that your many readers
might wish to know something of the
city of Martins Ferry where l am
now working. 1t is a town of about
5000 inhabitants and is one of the
most hustling little towns have ever
struck in my life. The Aetna-Stand
ard Sheet mill, at which am work
ing, will be the most complete mill of
it's kind in the world when improve
ments now being made are completed.
The Laughlin tin plant here is next
to the largest of its kind in the world.
The plant is composed of 90 mills and
arrangements are being made to add
several more mills as soon as it can be
done. Besides these we have in course
of construction large sheet mill
plant which will contain several mills.
Then we have two glass factories,
two foupdries, shovel works, a tool
works, novelty works and countless
other smaller establishments.
The pay roll here amounts to some
thing like $4,000 every two weeks,
but when the Improvements now be-
ing made are completed it will go to
something like 100000. So you see
this town is enjoying some of the
good old Mckinley prosperity that is
generally the case all oyer the coun-
try.
The wages here are good. A man
can earn any place from the usual
wages paid common laborers up to
SIS or $1S a day. 1t is a common
thing for rollers in the mills to make
ten and twelve dollars every day they
work. So you see there is little dan
ger of man starving to death as long
as Mckinley is president. Just at
present we fellows don't use any lids
on our dinner pals as they are so full,
and am proud that am one of the
boys who with their votes helped to
bring about this prosperity.
With kindest regards to all the
Mountain State boys, l am
Yours truly,
G. H. MARTIN.

a considerable degree encouraged by
those who do not like to turn anyone
hungry away from their doors. In
short. there is too much leniency to-
wards the tramp; and this considerat-
ness is often repaid with raids upon
the hen roosts and smokehouses, or
assaults upon women and children
when the farmer husbands and
brothers are away in the fields.
The tramp evil is one that requires
heroic treatment, for it is growing.
At isolated homes about the only eff
fective preventive is the shotgun and
the dog, accompanied by the stony
hearted determination that the tramp
shall have no food except such as he
renders an equivalent in labor for. In
municipalities the officers of the law
ought to have theauthority-and be
required to use ito Immediately
grab all tramps and put them to work
in the chaingang, the workhouse, on
the highways or elsewhere. Nearly
all of them are able-bodied. If they
can earn their own livelihood but
won't do it because they are too lazy,
they ought to be made to do it.

A Frank Advertiser,

A gentleman who has a Christian
spirit and horse for sale advertises
as follows in a Minnesota paper:
We have a good family driving
horse for sale, providing you carry
insurance.
He is not over particular as to feed.
In fact, he prefers our neighbours hay
stacks and corncribs to our own.
We feed him whenever we can
catch him, which is seldom.
He is partly gentle. The other
parts are not, and you must govern
yourself accordingly.
We will throw in the derrick and
telegraph pole combination which we
use to hitch him up with.
If you are fond of driving we would
advise you to engage a cowboy that
owns fast horse to do your driving,
and be sure and get on top of the barn
before he begins to drive the horse.
For price and coroner's address ap-
ply to the owner.
1t is evident that the pernicious
doctrines of David Harum have not
taken root everywhere. Furthermore,
there will be no excuse for damage
suit if this advertiser ever succeeds
in disposing of the goods. In view of
the present-day greed for gain all this
is highly encouraging.

Mr.. Bryan Attacks the Supreme Court.

Perhaps the most conclusively con-
vincing sign that William J. Bryan is
untitled for the duties of a great
party leader is his evident inability
to adjust himself to any overpo wer-
ing trend of public thought and ac-
ton. 1t is very good to endeavor to
instruct the people as to what he con-
siders the wisest modes of conduct
before the decisive has passed, but to
place himself in the direct path of
public movement is to invite disa ster
both for himself and any party that
he may dominate. And, truly, Mr..
Bryan appears fated for just such a
political martyrdom.
The silver standard he still retains
at hand, although wiser friends have
induced him to refrain from Haunting
it so conspicuously before the public.
Now, he seems to be strongly inclined
to raise and navigate that Inflated
political derelict-opposition to the
very existence of the Supreme Court.
1t cannot be encouraging to the we'll
wishers of this politician to remember
that some really gifted men have
staked their political all upon this
same venture and lost accordingly.
Still, this is not new democratic
doctrine and has, perhaps, kept more
able men from the democratic ranks
than any other doctrine of the party
founded by Jefferson. 1t must be
apparent to all unblinded by partisan
prejudice that former political align
ments played no part in the recent
judgments of the Supreme Court.
Yet, this proof that politics was abso-
lutely laid aside by these nine emf
nent jurists is of no consequence to
Mr.. Bryan and his party. If the de-
cision had gone the other way and
the administration had proposed
changing the status of the Supreme
Court the volume of eloquence issuing
from Mr.. Bryan would have been
stupendous.
Yet the objects of his efforts is a
great curtailment in the power of the
judicial branch of the National Gov
eminent. This the Democrats would
transfer to Congress, since they may,
at least, hope to control both houses
and the Presidency at the same per-
iod. This control once gained, only
the watchful influence of the supreme
judicial tribunal of the nation could
safeguard the constitution from their
attacks. For this is the real object
of their political hatred, and since no
body of jurists has been found willing
to read this sacred document in the
perverted way that they desire-they
would remove the court that has ever
barred their pathway. Yet, there is
little danger that William J. Brya n
can accomplish what Jefferson and
Patrick Henry found impossible of
execution. These men were giants
intellectually, and iu venturing in
their political footprints Mr.. Bryan
is apt to disappear forever from pub
lie view.

The safe return to the Capital of
President and Mrs. Mckinley is a
matter of which the nation will re-
joice, while deeply regretting the un-
fortunate circumstances that cut
short their trip. The disappointment
of the many thousands residing along
that part of the route that was aban-
doned is keen, but it is softened by
the sympathy for the President. The
trip in as far as it was taken, indi-
Gates that the people everywhere adj
Inire him and no matter whatever
differences of opinion might exist
upon national questions all conceded
the good intentions, honesty and abil-
ity of the President, and gladly joined
in doing him honor. 1t is to be hoped
that some future day the President
will be able to complete the trip, for
it is pleasure to the people to see
and hear him talk, and is benefiting
to the President himself by giving
him closer and wider view of the
country.

Newspaper Frauds.

"Non-partisan" papers, edited by
partisans, are the most patent hum
bugs of the age. In commenting up
on public matters they start out non
partisan, but wind up partisan. They
are simply frauds. A partisan paper
is the more to be admired. 1t sacra-
fees patronage for principle. 1t is
more honest, for it does not play for
both sides, and does not pretend to
be anything than partisan. There is
nothing antagonistic to honesty in
being partisan, and there is every in
ducement to dishonesty in being non
partisan or independent. The most
despicable object is partisan who
pretends to conduct non partisan
or independent paper, and then by
his acts endorses every principle and
policy which his party espouses.-

MRS. M'KNLEY STILL CRITICALLY ILL.
No Material Change in Her Condition.

NO Materlal Cnange In Her Condition.
WASHINGTON, June while DIR.
Rixey was slightly more hopeful in
his talk tonight, Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition cannot be said to show any
material change. 1t has been decided
not to hold consultations more than
once day unless a material change
for the worse should occur, and that
the only bulletin to be issued shall be
one following the usual forenoon con-
sultation. Surgeon General Stern
berg called at the White House dur
ing the evening.
Among those who called to manifest
their sympathy and make personal
inquiries as to Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition were Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador; General Miles, Miss Will
son, daughter of the Secretary of
Agriculture, who spent some time
with the president, and Miss Barber,
Postmaster General and Mrs. Smith,
Pay Director and Mrs. Rand, of the
Navy; Miss Hitchcock, daughter of
the Secretary of the Interior; Mrs. A.
w. Greedy, A. B. White, of Kansas
City, and Mrs. j. Stanley Brown. No
one was admitted at the White House
after 8 o'clock, an hour earlier than
the usual time for closing the doors
to personal friends. One of the Pres
ident's visitors tonight said that it
was conceded that Mrs. Mckinley
was in a very grave condition. There
was hope of the outcome, he said, but
it was very slender hope.

mitted that there are routes in Hi
nois and Iowa where everything pos
sible has been done to make good
roads, and they have excellent roads
for the greater part of the year, but
during the spring freshets these may
be impossible for few days.
The order is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are indiffer-
ent to the condition of the roads and
have allowed them to become impas-
sable through neglect. The inspec-
tors will report on the routes that are
interrupted this spring, and where the
interruption is due to neglect of the
roads they will be abandoned. Where
the interruption is due to conditions
which cannot be overcome the de-
partment will make allowances and
continue the service.
But the department regards rural
free delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
the advantages of the service the de-
partment holds that the experiment
is failure. The demand for rural
free delivery is greater than the de-
partment can meet with the appro-
priation by Congress, and it will favor
those communities which show most
appreciation by building roads oyer
which the government can send mails
with the least possible interruption.

MEMORIAL Day in passing years
has grown more significant. 1t means
tribute to many thousands more
than twelve months ago, and the gray
headed men who march to the GENE
tries all over the United States are
fewer in number and feebler in move
ment. The memorial to those who
fell in battle is now a memorial to
many of those who survived the con-
flict. With the gallant men of the
sixties are lying men of the nineties
who also fell for the flag they love so
well. Bare patriotic men they all
were, and their valor is the common
heritage of us all. This is one coun-
try, again and one forever, therefore
let it pause to drop wreath on the
graves of the nations dead.

Good Roads Argument.

The Postoffice Department is try
ing to use the rural free delivery ex-
pertinent as an argument in favor of
good roads. and where the expert
ment has failed to improve the bad
roads along the routes the service
will have to be abandoned.
The department has gone over the
records to see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition of the
roads last spring and has sent out no
tices that unless the roads are i'm
proved to prevent similar Interrupt
tion this spring those routes will have
so be abandoned. The records show
that a great many routes were inter
rupted from one to seven days last
spring.
There were 40 of these routes in
Iowa, - in Illinois, 10 in Wisconsin
and a.less number in other western
and southern states. The record
against Iowa is not so bad as it seems
because that State has great many
more:rurallfree delivery routes than
any other State, and, like Illinois, the
State suffers at times from bad roads
which cannot be improved.
The department admits that it will
have to give some consideration tt
the difficulty in building roads il
Iowa and Illinois, where the depth O
the soil makes it almost impossible t.
construct roads that will be passabl'
' at all seasons of the year. 1t is ad

The Tramp Question.

When the tramp learns there is no.
where he can turn his footsteps that
he will not find a constable awaiting
him, to send him to the rock pile or
to work on the public highway, he
will begin to think seriously of mend

past half century that the tramp

but during that ii ne it has grown
great. There are now many thous-

Any Old Price For Books.

AT the recent meeting of the Mary
land State Board of Education held
in Baltimore the most important top
les discussed included a new school
course for the county schools and the
methods of purchasing school books
by the various school boards of the
counties. The present course of study
followed in the schools of the counties
is Anticipated and to bring the subject
generally before the public free dis
cussion through these columns is in
yited. At the meeting of the board
it transpired that some of the text
books were sold to the different coun
ties at various prices and discounts,
and that, for example, one county got
16s per cent. discount on the price
paid, while another county; for the
same books, at the some price procur.
ed 20 per cent. discount.
The board was also advised that
bids were not properly advertised
and that contracts were very otter
renewed with the same firm. The
question caused considerable discus
sion, and it was decided, as the State
furnished the money for the books
to ascertain if the board could take
any action in the matter.

THE COST OF WARS.
Conflicts of the Past Century Have Cost
Nearly $40. 900. 900. 900.

A writer in the Home Magazine es-
timated the cost of wars of the nine
teenth century to nearly reach the
enormous sum of $50, 100000, 900. Just
how much is a billion? he asks. 1t is
one thousand millions; but that fact
is not expressive. There are only
3,155, 673,600 seconds in century,
that is, six dollars have been spent on
war for every second of the century.
If we take Archbishop Usher's chron-
ology, and consider the world to be
1904 years old, we find that the Ma
lions have spent on war during the
nineteenth century at the rate of six
dollars minute since the creation.
The most costly building in the
world is the Church of San Pietro in
Vatlcano, known to us as st. Peters
Rome. 1t has cost not less than $70,-
100000 since its foundation stone was
laid, yet nearly 800 other churches of
equal cost could be built out of what
the world has spent on wars during
the nineteenth century. The cost
Hest building in this country is the
Philadelphia Public building, which
represents nearly $50, OOO,O 900; yet near
ly 700 copies of this great pile could
be erected out of the money spent on
war during the last hundred years.
The world spends upwards of $780,
100000 year on education. If it spent
81 times as much it would not equal
the war expenses of the past century.
The population of the world is esti-
mated at 100000, 900; the money
spent on war between 1901 and 1900
would give each man, woman and
child alive today more than $13 as
pocket money.
If man counted 200 minute for
10 hours day, six days week, he
would have counted one million in s
days three hours and 20 minutes. At
the same rate he would need 1888
days, 8 hours and 20 minutes to count
one billion, or 26 years, 1876 days, 3
hours and 20 minutes not counting
Sundays. To count twenty billions
would take 532 years, $50 days, 6 hours
and 40 minutes.
