Not the Foreigners Fault.

1t is an evidence of the persistence
of the human mind in running along
a single groove that many people are
attributing the result OF the New York
election to the influx Of uneducated
foreigners. 1t is the ignorant voters
who put bad government into power,
say these critics This cry is pecul-
iarly inapposite to the New York cleo
tion. 1t was not in the districts peo-
pied by Italians or Slavs that the
change was made from the vote that
elected Low. II was the districts
where the population is made up OF
well-to-do, educated, native-born Am
orleans, who stayed at home and did
not take the trouble to 60 to the
polls and vote for good government

The prosperity that was presumed to
be a natural sequel to Republican vic
tory in Ohio has not made itself appar-
ent in manufacturing centers, where
wages are being cut and shut-downs are
throwing thousands of men out Of
work. Had johnson been elected and
this state of things followed, Hanna
would have recalled his campaign
threats and would have said: 81 told
you So" Now Uncle Mark shows a
decided disinclination to discuss the
situation.

A Uhrichsville man has fallon heir
to a rather nnenviable consignment Of
fame. Being the first prisoner to be
hauled to Jail in the new Massillon
patrol wagon, he has been honored by
having the new vehicle given his name.
This sort of christening was prear-
ranged. the officers deciding upon this
method of securing an appropriate ap-
pellation for the conveyance. Uncon-
scious of the fate in store for him,
the Uhrichsville citizen became intox-
icated Wednesday night and awoke
Thursday morning to find himself IA

Governor-elect Herrick is reported to
be having much difficulty in selecting
his retinue of colonels. So much sport
has been made of the tinselled gentle
men who compose the governors staff,
that the position is not coveted as it
once was. 1t means little to be chos-
en- to this position and sober citizens
think twice before accepting the invi-
tation.

Quite a sensation has been sprung
on Investors in lottery tickets by the
arrest in New York Of parties who
have been selling fraudulent tickets
and subsequently issuing fraudulent
lists OF drawings In which the num-
bers sold fail to appear as winners.
Ohio is said to have been a fruitful
field for operations Of the gang and it
l.as been ascertained that an agency

elsewhere. Lotteries are forbidden by

Editor James B. Morrow, of the
Cleveland Leader, is at present in
Washington and has the following to
say of Hanna's presidential boom.
Fifteen hundred letters and tele-
grams have been received by Mr.. Han
ma since week ago last Tuesday, in
which promises were made to give him
support for the presidency. He has
been pleaded with and very strenuous
ly commanded to become a candidate
At every hand here in Washington he
is pledged the active friendship and
work Of notable men. II Mr.. Hanna
were not pleased with the fine words
which he hears from every part of
the country, he would not have the
earthly qualities of human being.
And Mr.. Hanna is no angel, no celes-
ton spirit. Neither is Mr.. Hanna weak
In prophecy. He can see as far as any
one in politics and business"

The liquor interests of the state are
going to maintain a powerful lobby
at Columbus this winter to defeat the

cast, will test the pledges of lot Of

of promises to the temperance agen-
cies.

Now Mr.. Foraker's presidential
boom has been started. The Cincinna-
ii Enquirer speaks rather authorita-
lively on the subject, declaring that
there is positive movement on foot
to put him forward in the event of
President Roosevelt failing to secure
the nomination next year. The an
nouncement will not find much Gre
dence among persons who are at all
conversant with the situation AS
the thing now stands there is no dan
ger of President Roosevelt losing the
nomination unless Senator Hanna de-
sires to enter the race. But If Uncle
Mark does SO decide there will be no
contest, the fact being established that
he may have the nomination for the
asking. 1t appears, therefore, that
neither Mr.. Foraker nor any other
Republican has any business becoming
imbued WITH presidential aspirations
at this time. The game lies between
two players and the way they handle
the cards will determine the outcome.

him up against the side of building;
Can you tell me why some citizens
can allow refuse to remain in unsightly
piles upon their pavements for years
at time to the decided inconvenience
of the public, without being subject to
official wrath? For instance, just look
at the pavement on Eighth street just
west Of the postoffice. Ever since
that street was paved, some two years
ago, a pile of gravel and dirt has lain
on the outer edge of the pavement,
causing the thoroughfare to become es-
pecially disagreeable in wet weather.
Besides this, it is particularly insight
ly and why 1t has been allowed to re-
main so long a public nuisance no man
can tell. Talk about your dust and dirt
and microbes and breeders of disease
and profanity--why, man, there you'll
| find a whole bunch of it."
The Massillon-Canton football game
at the former city on Saturday is said
to have been a beautiful exposition of
strenuous athletics. The large au-
dience fairly howled with delight, as
one victim after another was hauled
away MANNED and bleeding to the hos
pital. Away with such tame amuse-
ments as bullfights, where only inof-
fensive animals are gored and killed!
They can not be compared with the
modern American game of football
where the players (?) punch and kick
and tramp each other in a manner
that untutored savages would be
ashamed to initiate. But it is grand
game-and the exercise is so benficial,
you know. Quite number of exciting
contests are scheduled for the local
gridiron and grand final roundup
will take place on Thanksgiving day
If enough sound and whole men are
left to participate Great is football!

His Sermon Reached Them.

When the Rev. Madison C. Peters,
at one time popular Philadelphia
divine, was very young man, he
was invited to deliver the sermon
in a rural church on Sunday in
June, says an exchange. The day
was extremely warm and window
behind the pulpit had been raised in
the interests of ventilation. Mr..
Peters laid the rather voluminous
manuscript of the sermon he had
prepared on the desk of the pulpit,
and began; but the third word had
not passed his lips when a breeze
from the window caught the manu-
script and blew it's hundred odd pages
of note size paper scatteringly over
the expectant congregation. Mr.. Pc
ters looked frustrated for mo
ment, then. recovering himself, he
smiled and said:
"Well, perhaps that sermon has
reached more of you than if it had
gone from the pulpit in the usual
manner"

Perfectly Good.

A horse dealer in Scotch town
having hired horse to a solicitor.
the latter, either through bad usage
or some other cause, killed the horse,
when the dealer insisted upon pay
ment by bill if it were not convenient
to pay cash, says the Scottish Ameri-
can. The lawyer had no objection to
grant bill, but said it must be at
long date. The dealer told him to fix
his own time, when the man of law
drew a promissory note, making it
payable on the day of judgment. An
action was raised, when the solici-
tor asked the presiding judge to look
at the bill. Having done so, the judge
replied: "The bill is perfectly good,
and as this is the day of Judgment
1 decree that you pay tomorrow"

THE NIGHT EXPRESS.


From out the mist-clad meadows, along
the river shore,
The night express-train whistles with eye
of fire before.
A trail of smoke behind her enclouds the
rising moon
That gilds the signing poplars and floods
the wide lagoon.
Through yellow fields Of harvest and wav-
ing fields of corn
The night expresS-train rumbleS with
whistle low and lorn.
The silent village harkens the sound it
knows so well,
And boys wait on the siding to hear the
engine bell,
While lads who used to loiter with visit
full steps and slow,
Await tonight a comrade who comes,
but will not go.
The train that brings to mothers the news
Of sons who roam
Shoots red from out the marshes to bring
wanderer home.
With restless heart Of boyhood we
watched that headlight when
The whistle seemed to call us to dare the
world of men;
To leave the pillow and herd-whip for lads
with hearts of clay,
And while our blood was leaping be up
and far away;
To find the great world somewhere, to
WdHO0r Woe anu see
II men Of coast or mountain were better
men than we.
We heard the hoarse throat whistle, we
heard the engine bell,
We saw the red eye blazing, we knew the
hot heart well,
But little could we reckon, gay-hearted
boys at play,
The horse that took us out to men would
bring US home one day.
That took US out at morning, with shin
ing wheels ahum
Would bring US home at evening, when
we are glad to come.
All! let my fight be fiercer. the little time
before
They bring me still and weary along the
river shore.
Then may the wheels turn swiftly be-
hind the eye of fire,
And may the bell ring gayly that brings
me my desire.
The boys I used to watch with will all be
there to see,
When l come home to rest me In the
ground that nuI Ired me.
To earth I digged in boyhood. through
fields I used to keep,
Tue lads who wrought beside me shall
bear me home to sleep.
From out the mist-clad marshes, along
the river shore,
With trail Of smoke behind me and eye
of fire before;
And youths will watch with burning to
seek the world Of men,
And thrill to hear the whistle that brings
me home again.
