que menos papel compuso fue

Lo que mas entretuvo a los
honorables padres conscriptos
fue la consideration del ascenso

mad or militar de Cuba y jefe ac-

que tanta, en- la comisi0n sena-
torial que entiende de cosas mi

SenadOr HaWley.
La oposicion esta capitaneada
por el senador Hanna, y, es mas,
contra ell Presidente Roosevelt
que contra ell general Wood,
quien, realmente, hace en- ell ne
gocio las veces de pelota, que
unos V otros Sc tiran a las mari

partido del Presidente Nc Kin

que estaria aprobada, pues los
inconvenientes reales que ahora

objection de mas fundamento, y
en- la que menos Sc fijen las par

The merging of the Offices of treasu

The merging of the Offices of treasur-
er and auditor, which is being agitated
ly, some so-called statesmen, might do
in the smaller counties. but in Stark it
would simply mean the placing of as
many persons in the one office as there
are in the two. and the economy would
not be apparent and there would be no
one to keep tab upon the cash In the
treasury. When, for instance, the
probate judge would order an ex-
animation of the contents of the big
vaults. the examiners would have to
report that the money so found and
counted in the treasury agreed with
the books of the treasurer and II
would be poor treasurer who could
not make the two agree IL he were do
ing little stealing on the side to in
crease his income. AS long as the en-
tire Office force in both the Offices are
working hard and are kept busy, there
is little reason why the business should
be dumped into one. The transfers of
real estate would have 10 go over to
the recorder, perhaps, If the change is
TO be made.

Many Happenings Of 0rsaf nafsrtaues
Are Attributed to'Thens.
Many a. the cases are Of battles won
through the agency OF women OF the
type of Boadicea and Joan Of Arc,
there can be no denying the fact that
equally numerous, II not more so, arp
those OF victories spoiled by the faiE
ser and of battles lost owing to femi-
nine Vaccinations. Perhaps some In
stances in point may be Of general in.
terest.
There are many who say that the
failure of the Jameson raid at the OUT
set was brought about by women.
President Kruger is in the habit Of en-
pioying countless detectives, both male
and female, in the Transvaal. as well
as abroad. The barmaids Of Johannes
burg, for example, are said to be in the
pay Of Oom' Paul These ladies', by
means OF their propensities for cx-
tractiuB confidenccs, are alleged to
have wrune from some Of the raiders,
long before the raid itself was entered
upon, the fact that IL was forthcom-
ing. The consequence was that when
1t came Cronjc was fully prepared.
France can point to o number OF
cases In which victories connected
with the republic have been spoiled by
women. and the whole course Of events
changed in consequence. For exam
pie, the fall Of General Boulanger was
brought about by q member Of the fair
sex. But for the Viscountess de Bon
nemain there is the chance that he
might have become the ruler of
France. The lady induced him to pay
her aviation the night Of his election,
a. member Of the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, when had he refrained from SO do
ing and instead marched to the Elysee,
as his partieans begged him to do, the
history OF the republic might have
been entirely altered
Something similar is the Old World
case of Hannibal whose wife was the
unintentional cause of his fall and the
failure Of his once successful armies.
The great general was 30 foolish as to
marry at q time when he should be de-
voting all his time to the conduct OF
military affairs. His troops bscame

At the annual meeting Of the Ohio
State Bar Association. held last week
at Columbus, the divorce evil was dis
russed from a legal standpoint and a
committee was appointed to prepare a
bill to mitigate the increasing scandal
Of unlimited divorce. Ministers and
moralists have discussed this question
for many years from their points of
view. and while they may all have set
tied the matter in their own minds
none have yet discovered anything
more practical or satisfying than Is
contained in the bible, a book perhaps
not studied as much as would be prof
table for some. Human nature must
be modified by early training, as we'll
as precept and example to eradicate
some Of the "old Adam to which many
are prone to attribute their frequent
falls. The for better or worse" in
the marriage ceremony is too often
amendable to mean a late repentance,
should the event turn out worse"
than expected The Protestant churches
are rapidly taking the same stand upon
the divorce question as that held by
the Catholic church, and the attitude
of these great denominations cannot
fail OF producing good effect. That
a radical reform is called for is appar-
ent to even casual observer. Let the
law cooperate with the gospel.
1t is to be hoped that no blood will
be shed between the United States and
Colombia. The people are not so cer-
