When the late Baron Nordenskjold
was at Ceylon on the way home from

aerne BIornson's Anti-decoration club
whose members were solemnly pledged
never 10 accept any decoration from
anybody. Nordenskjold however. could
not resist the temptation. so he replied
TO the telegram In the affirmative. II
Is not hard TO imagine his dlsappolnt-
ment when, upon reachii> home, q
friend OF his, n high Onicins, told him
the following: "The Russian govern
ment was well aware of your antago.

100000 rubles TO be paid you I'm the
event OF your refusing to accept the

they wanted TO try your firmness. Rus.

your failure to live up to your pledge"

Death Was a Live One.

While ON the way to the race track in
New Orleans one day several winters
ago an undertaken named Mr.. Dooley
passed n funeral procession on its way
to the cemetery. DOoley had friend
with him. another Irishman, who ex-
claimed, "Sure, death always WINS"
There happened to be horse entered
that day named Death, and he won
with ridiculous ease, Dooley winning n
good bet on him. Dooley told all his
friends OF the Incident, and they all
went ont to the course. the next time
Death was entered. He won every
time he started for thirteen races. Ii
was near getaway day, when every
one was packing up ready to take the
last train for New York. The horse
was sold that afternoon at an auction
sale, and the buyer was Mr.. Dooley.
He hitched him a month later to a
hearse. and the horse became fright
ened and ran away and was not stop
ped until the graveyard was reached.
After the burial Dooley had the horse
shot and buried near the cemetery.
"You're dead one now, Death" said
Dooley. "but a live one In those thir.
teen races. "--Baltlmore American.

Speaking at the Democratic cam
paign opening at Canton, Governor
Harmon dealt chiefly with the more
important details of his adminlstra-
tion, His entire speech follows:
Two years ago the Democratic par
ty OF Ohio again proved its right to
be classed as useful political
agency by exposing the wrongdoings
and shortcomings OF certain state Of
ficials and promising to replace them
by honest and efficient service. 1t
claimed for its members no monopoly
OF virtue or ability, but II was not
controlled by men whose selfish pur-
poses require for accomplishment
public agents OF their own selection.
Its candidates were the free choice
or delegates who represented the
voters OF the party aud each nominee
was pledged to do his utmost coward
the reform OF the government.
The excitement and confusion due
10 the choosing OF presidential! elec.
tors by the same ballot prevented the
election OF all but two OF its nomi.
nees--those for governor and treas.
urer. The conduct OF their res pee
tive offices by these two makes up
the record on which the Democratic
party now comes before the people.
When man is first looked over by
the voters In connection with SER
vice they require they have nothing
but his general character TO aid them
and the qualities he may have shown
In other positions, but when the
voters have once tried man It Is a
simple matter TO decide whether they
want him again or not. Performance
has then displaced promise ana ex-
pectation given way to knowledge.
An attempt 10 escape this test would
be confession OF unfitness. But IL
can not be escaped. All that can be
fairly asked is consideration OF con.
ditions under which the work had to
be undertaken, one OF which, in our
government of wisely distributed
powers, is always cooperation or the
lack OF II on the part of other Of
flcials.
SO the question before the people
is. shall the conduct of the present
governor and treasurer be approved
or condemned? And, II they are to
be retained, shall their associates in
the executive and other departments
of the government, be men in hearty
sympathy with their desire to i'm
prove the public service or men who
from any motive whatsoever, are
likely 70 give them only half-hearted

The Test Of Experience.

As to myself, should be glad to
go on with the work in hand, be-
cause of my deep interest in 1t and
the hope that with the knowledge
and experience ] have gained could
do 1t better in the future. This work
relates to state affairs only and |
welcome assistance from all who
agree with me on that subject, as
suring them that their present sup
port will involve and be treated as
involving no obligation on their part
in any other connection.
IL the people believe my opponent
can and will accomplish more for
them, none will be better pleased than
to have them realize their expecta-
tions. For there is no personal wish
which would be willing to crafty
by having Ohio make the slightest
halt in her upward course.

the ordinary conduct Of the govern

in the Union It Is surely time the
people should bestir themselves in
this matter, for every one Of them
Is compelled to pay Federal taxes on
almost every thing he buys for con.
sumption or other use, whether he
owns property subject to State and
local taxation or not.
And every one Is not only com.
PEELED to contribute to this enorm-
GUS outlay OF the Federal government,
but is also made to pay a much
greater amount in the shape of in
creased prices on goods made in this
country because Of q tariff law
framed for the express purpose Of
making him do this to swell the
profits or manufacturers.
The people were long deceived
about this, but they were so aroused
by the awakening, which came at
last, that the Republican leaders
were forced to promise prompt relief
by reducing the tariff taxes. A spc,
cial session of congress was called
20 make the promise good. How they
did II has been told by many Repub.
lican members Of high standing and
authority.
These men have shown how slight
reductions We're made where they
would give the people no relief but
furnish basis for the misleading
use of figures; how by artful phrases,
whose meaning and effect were not
generally understood, pretended re.
ductlons became really increases, es.
pecially on the cheaper. qualities of
goods used by citizens of small
means; how the whole performance
was evasion and deceit dictated by
the very interests from whose op.

were led to expect release.

new tariff bill as the keeping OF faith,

There is plainly but one way open

rebuke or to secure redress, and that
is by electing Democrats to repre-

The RIGHT Remedy.

Experience justities the belief that
to secure the harmony required for
successful administration and full re-
sponsibility the Governor and General
Assembly should be OF the same po.
litical party. A Democratic legisla-
ture would, OF course, choose a sen
ator OF that faith, but all the men
mentioned In that connection may
fairly be said to measure up well
with the candidate already selected
on the other side. And whoever he
might be, the people can be certain
that he will not cast hundred and
twenty-three votes with the Aldrich.
Payne-Smoot combination, like one
or our present senators, or even a
hundred and eighteen, like the other.
The selection of men to conduct
the business of the State does not
properly involve a consideration of
National affairs and should not be
made to do so. Good government In
Ohio Is necessary in order that she
may keep her high rank In the sis.
terhood OF states and be able TO do
her full share in maintaining the
well being of the Union. To secure
this with certainty the voters should
look at the State cltuation only. Ma
tional questions are to be dealt with,
however, in choosing members OF
Congress, which justifies a brief ref.
erence to them here.
