Sknatok Sherman puts a whole
volume in a single line when he de
clared that "this year's state elec
tion in Ohio is the Gettysburg of
the war for honest money." It
looks as if McKinley would also
make it the Appomattox of free
trade.

THE republican party neither in
Ohio nor in any other state "has re
fused to discuss protection and in
sist upon the discussion of an un
limited silver issue," as an eastern
mugwump organ nsserts. Protec
tion is the sheet anchor ot repub
licans, and they will standby and
defend it. The democratic party in
Ohio and elsewhere have made the
silver issue prominent and repub
licans will discuss it regardless of
their loud complaints.

THE democratic orators in Iowa
are asking why Major McKinley did
not put a reciprocity clause in his
bill with Kngland, France and
Germany instead of those little, no
account states in South and Central
America? Of course. The same
ones used to ask why the republic
ans do not protect with a tariff,
Pennsylvania against Massachu
setts, and Nebraska against Iowa.
Their questions expose their ignor
ance of the first principles of the
American system. No aswer is
needed. The man who doesn't
know why without telling, couldn't
comprehend the subject under any
circumstance.- State Journal.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN
The Ohio campaign is attracting
unusual interest from all sections
of the country, owing to the fact
that two great national questions
are made the insue and that upon
these questions the candidates of
the respective parties will stand or
fall. Kspecially do republicans
feel a deep interest in the canvass,
in asniuch as the tariff and silver
questions, as uuvocated by the re
Kiiblicans of Ohio, are exactly in
line with the past record of the
party in national legislation and
we have unmistakable evidences
tUat it will be their policy in the
future.
And then two, we realize
that these issues are being dis
cussed by two men who, doubtless
have given them more careful
study and have occupied a more
conspicuous position in connection
with legislation regarding these
question than any otlier two men
that have operated in national
councils. Major McKinley and his
co-workers trained tue tarni inn as
passed by the last congress, having
in view, pre-eminently the welfare of
America and her institutions. He
realized that in the past, our reve
tme duties were too great to met
the actual needs of the government
and accordingly the great staple
sugar, was placed on the free list
thus saving to the American
consumers V),(X)0,000 yearly; ye
they have so adjusted the duties
that a sufficient revenue is raised
to meet the necessary expenditures

The generous offer of Miss Mary K
Holmes of Rockford, 111. to give$100
(XX) for the establishment of a semi
nary for colored girls in Mississippi
has started quite a rivalry among
several cities in that State. Not
only the colored people but the
whites are anxious to have the loca
tion of the school which the Illnois
woman proposes tv tounn. ine
principal competitors are Natchez,
Greenville, and West Point. Kach of
these cities offers a free site and a
considerable bonus to increase the
ndownient of the school. Miss
Holmes seems to have found a new
way to solve tne race question in
one locality, at least, for the com
mittees are composed of both col
ored and white people.
Colonel Calvin Hrice pro-
poses to jump into the breach and
hold Governor Campbell out. The
New York Advertiser says:
If Senator Hrice disports him
self on the stump he will invite
embarassing questions from the
working people ot Oluo as to tne
why and wherefore of the trouble
among his miners in Tennessee, as.
well as the more recent iinhappiness
of his men on the Lake Krie and
Westerti Railroad. Let Senator
Hrice and the campaign committee
think of these things.
The real truth is that Hrice will
depend as usual upon his check
book. It is a more potent weapon
than his mouth.

in their platform, Governor Camp

were disposed to make light of it

County Attorney Travis paid a
visit to our politicians yesterday.
He is certain of one thing, judging
from his own statements-that is,
that down in the deep recess of his
vest pocket the alliance vote quietly
reposes and peacefully rests by the
side of the democratic vote in the
same quiet receptacle. He controls
the vote of both of these parties in
his mind. There are various kinds
of insanity, but that kind that in
duces our ambitious county attor
ney to become a candidate for the
position so ably filled by Judge
Chapman is perhaps the most
laughable.
