VIEWED AS CHICAGO SHADOW.
Both Senators have been identi-
iAd with the extreme protection
wing of The party. and their influ-
ence in and out of Congress has
been in that direction. 1t has
always been asserted that Ohio
was for protection in its most
aggravated form, and that there
was little or no revision sentiment
Ia that state. Mckinley came
from Ohio and his name waj long
a synonym for advanced p~rotec-
ton ideas. He declared for re-
%ciprocity and a CERTAIN measure
for revision just before he died.
but in spite of that fact 1t was
constantly asserted that Ohio
stood shoulder to shoulder with
Pennsylvania in it's belief that the
Dingley tariff bill a such an
inspired acs of Providence as
well as of Congress that it
could not be touched without dis
aston to the country.
Uncle Joe Cannon and Secre-
tary Shaw were not any more
devoted to their "standpat" ideas
than the two Ohio Senators, back
ed up at all times as they were by
Gov. Grosvenor, who represented
the same state on the ways and
means committee of the House
and who with Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania formed the chief buIwark
erected by Speaker cannon
against the advance of the revision
idea.
For all of these reasons the pol
iticians could scarcely compre-
hend that such a downright dec
laration for the revision of the
tariff and such a pledge on
behalf of the Ohio candidate
had swept through the Republi-
can state convention at Columbus
practically without opposition

Crowds and PanicS.

In spite of many warnings not a

by smoke or flame before they

antilles of this kind have recently
occurred in the United States. In a

So confident are the. republic
cans of victory this fall they
are already selecting their mex.
ca oinet. So many names are
being suggested for the various
Offices until it seems that the
scramble for appointive Offices
has already begun. This recalls
a bit of ancient history, In the
civil war between Pompey and
Caesar for the mastery of the
Roman Empire, the two respec-
tive armies had gathered their
strength together for the final
struggle on the plains of Phar-
salia in Thessaly. So confident
were the soldiers Of Pompey Of
victory that they, on the very
eve Of battle, were reuting pub
lie houses and the most promi
nent places-fronting the public
square in Rome, and they were
also disputing over the offices
which were to be distributed
But the battle proved Pompey's
Waterloo. If indications mean
anything, history will repeat
itself tins fall, aud the republi-
cans will then be trying to ex-
plain how it happened.-Suwan

There is no mistaking the
fact that the past year has been
4 hard one on all sorts and con-
ditions of persons and business.
The summer has been one of un.
mistakable dizziness. Money
has been noticeable principally
because of its scarcity, but with
the opening up of the fall trade,
With the marketing of the field
crops, cotton, corn and other
staples, there is no reason for
anything but a renewal of bust
ness in every line. The crops
are good and are being rapidly
harvested, and soon money will
begin TO flow from the banks
into the hands of the people who
will, in turn, pass it back 10 the
merchants and then in the
natural course, it will find its
way back into the vaults
of the banks. Let US all cheer
up. The "busy season" is upon
