Republican News Item.
COLUMBIA MOURNS.


Our country has been appalled, as
it has not been since the attempt up
on the life of President Garfield, in
1881, by the news of the death OF
President Mckinley who fell vic
,i,n to a similar dastardly outrage.
A; with Lincoln and Garfield, so now
tle assassin's bullet strikes down but
tu lift its victim to the nobler level
IF universal appreciation. Against
the dark clouds the radiant virtues
If a lofty character shines across the
world. The blow was aimed not at
tie man Mckinley, but at the Pres
ihcnt. Thus the third time the high
honors of the Chief Magistracy, ten
dared by American Citizens, led to
the vicarious martyr crown.

Let us now cause these sacrifices
t. cease. 1t is nations duty to
protect the individual hea of the
government. The only eX ,lanation
of such outrage seems to be hat there
is disease prevalent in the land and
that yellow journalism is the deadly
germ that poisons the minds of the
eak. Stamp it out. Let the States
enact unifc"m statutes prohibiting
the yellow journal and furnishing the
preaching of murder. We submit
further that the Constitution be so
amended as to include criminal and
yellow journalism attacks on the
person and character of the President
of the United States in the list of
reasonable Otfenses, punishable by
death.

Whence comes the hostility of
Scouten's newspaper to William j.
Lawrence? He is not candidate
for Office, and desires no profit in
any way shape or manner from the
pending election; and yet Scouten
attacks him savagely. "Billy"
Lawrence, he declares, "built a court
house at a sound price which is now
about ready to tumble down, and is
not content with the profits" What
has this to do with politics at this
time? Mr.. Lawrence is about to re-
tire from the office which he has so
ably filled for six years, with the in
tention of resuming his business as
carpenter and builder. Does Mr..
Scouten suppose he can thus destroy
the well earned reputation as an
honorable man and efficient builder:
1t seems that Mr.. Scouten's expert
ence with Conrad Kraus, and the
libel suit, has taught him nothing.

ScOuten's newspaper says, "J0hn
ID. Reeser has no knowledge what
ever of legal affairs, having spent
his life in selling dry goods and
groceries at the big store" Truly
John d. Reeser does not profess to
be lawyer, but he knows too much
about justice to advise man to take
out ten SUI poenas and summon a hun :
dred unnecessary witnesses merely
to make big bill of costs in little
suit before a justice of the peace. 1t
is now in order for Mr.. Scouten to
state when and how HIS candidate
"Obtained the knowledge of legal
affairs" which makes him more
competent than John ID. Reeser is
for a judge.

''The cigar factory played OUT
so sayeth the Herald. Mr.. Dein-
niger in company with M. w. Bots
ford established cigar factory at
Nordmont; they employed eight or
nine men, and Mr.. Deininger work.
ed with them for eighteen months.
The business was closed honestly
with no debts unpaid. The "cun-
ming boy" as Scouten calls him, de-
serves credit, and not ridicule, for
his vigorous effort to establish IA per-
manent business.

In the hall of the court house there
is marble slab fastened to the wall
with names as follows: John II.
Farrell, Gabriel Litzelman, John j.
Webster, Commissioners; John f.
Gallagher, Clerk; Wagner q Right
mire, Architect; Lawrence Bros.
Builders. If the court house is
about to tumble down as ScOuten's
Herald alleges, who is to blame?
The Commissioners paid the archi-
tects well for making the plan and
experimenting the work. Lawrence
Brothers were strictly bound by a
written contract; the commissioners
examined the building and paid the
builders. Will anybody believe
that JOhp II. Farrell, Gabriel Litz-
elman and John J. Webster were so
ignorant or unfaithful to the county
as to take a poor job off the hands
of the builders ? Let Scouten prove
his allegation that the court house
is about to tumble down, and we
will then discuss the subject farther.

II. A. Kemp, photographer, is
taking large orders. Join the rush.
The convention which unanimous
ly nominated JOHN ID. REEsER for
Associate Judge, NELSON Cox for
Sheriff and JAMES G. DEININGER
for Prothonotary was composed of
sound minded, Independent, repre-
sentative men from every part of
the county. The allegation of the
self constituted democratic boss that
these men were controlled in their
action by two or three men is simply
ridiculous. There never was Il fai er
convention held in this county nd
the people are well pleased with he
Republican nominees.
A very fitting service was ! I'D
at the M. f. Church Sunday ever lg.
Rev. Bidlack allowed his word to
follow to follow the thoughts nat
run with the hearts of his cOngr' "a
ton and preached and prayed on he
one subject that absorbs the CHIEF Ut
tention of the world. The pulpit
was draped in black, over Which
hung the bright hues of the nations
emblem bearing picture of our Lite
President VIM. Mckinley. Striking
sentences punctured the able sermon
which thoroughly denounced the
wickedness of the yellow journali 'm
i'm our land. The sermon at the
Baptist church was an able tribute
to the cOuntry's irretrievable loss.
Misrepresentation will not succeed
in the election campaign. Scouten's
Herald makes labored effort to
show that James G. Deininger is not
a citizen of this &C nty; and this in
the face of plain facts known to
hundreds in Davidson and Laportc
townships. $50 far as we know"
says Scouten, che has kept right on
voting up to the present time, but
where he paid his taxes and the
amount does not appear" AS if he
could vote without paying taxes
Perhaps he does not pay as much
tax as the man who owns three or
four hotels, but it is no disgrace to
be poor.

In this country, but the present was the
first time he had talked in public where
a part of those to whom he was speaking
could not hear him. He also felt embar-
raised to some extent he said, to have a
man stand near him, and he making signs
of which he knew nothing. He was sure,
however. that all present could understand
what he was saying.
Mr.. WI said he had often noticed that
persons who had been deprived of the use
of one of the faculties were compensated
by having increased use of some of the
others. In his own country he knew, he
said, of blind persons who would start out
from home and walk for many miles with
out the aid of guide and carrying only a
small cane. and return safely home at
night. Referring to the loss of hearing
or of speech he told a story about young
married couple of high rank who lived in
China about 1900 years ago, and the two
having separated, the parents Of the bride
appealed to the emperor to interfere and
make their son-in-iaw treat his wife as
they thought he should. After gravely con-
sidering the subject for some time the en-
peror declined to have anything to do with
the trouble, but stated that in his opinion
the only good fathers-in-law and mothers
in-law were those who were both deaf and
mute.
The minister was especially glad, he said,
to learn from President Gallaudet that q
college for the same class as those being
educated at Kendall Green and on the lines
there followed has recently been opened in
Che Foo, in China, and it also a
source of much qualification to know that
the graduates of Gallaudet were well-quali-
fed to enter the ranks of any of the pro-
feSSions.
Again referring to the signs which Dr.
Gallaudet was making he said he had no
doubt they were very useful in making
love, but he could not say this from per-
sonal experience.
The benediction was pronounced by Rev
Thomas Gallaudet, D. D., vicar OF Saint
AIMS Church for deaf mutes, New York.
