Let the fusionists nominate a good
and clean ticket this fall of representa
tive men and it will be invincible at the
polls. The people are in the right
mood aud will demand a change of af
fairs.
The local bosses of the republican
party are all broken up over their fail
ure to cause dissension in our ranks ,
and however hard they try to induce
fusionists to become candidates , they
are making a marked failure of it. The
boys are onto the tricks of these wily
politicians of the Mark Hanna contin
gent.
Mayor Jones gave out a general
letter to the public , in which he states
that he may become an independent
candidate for governor of Ohio if he
finds the reform movement sufficiently
strong. He states that he is not work
ing with either party , and that if the
sentiment found and created by the
Columbus Labor Convention develops
he will be in the lielil.
A populist in politics ordinarly is1 I
1
a very reasonable man to get along
with. He abandoned either one or the
other of the old parties on account ofj
the issues they presented , and now
that A .New Democracy has come to
prevail he looks rather to the issues
involved than the name by which it is
called. It is therefor easily to see why
democrats , populists and silver repub
licans can work in harmony for the de
thronement of the party of Mark
Hanna.
A dispatch from Washington in this
morning's paper says : "The secretary
of the interior having been given au
thority to lay down rules for the regu
lation oi entries under the act of 1897 ,
now says that no reservation will be
made for a reservoir containing less
than 250,000 gallons. For a reservoir
of less than 500,000 gallons capacity ,
not more than forty acres can be re
served ; for reservoirs of 500,000 gallons
and less than 1,000,000 gallons capacity ,
not more than eighty acres can be re
served ; for a reservoir of 1,000,000 gallons
lens and less than 1,500.000 capacity ,
not more than 120 acres can be reserv
ed , and for a reservoir of more than
1,500,000 gallons capacity , 100 acres
may be reserved. This is definite , for
it means that not more than 160 acres
of public domain can be reserved for
the purposes of the act in any one sec
tion. But this is not all. .None of the
lands so reserved Can be fenced , and
owners of cattle who are using .the pub
lic domain for grazing purposes may ,
benefit from the reservoirs so erected ,
whether they have entered upon the
lands or not. "
Bryanism and 16 to 1 may be dead
but it is far better to be found in a
respectable funeral procession than in
a crowd hunting "benevolent assimi
lation" with the riile. It is more con
sistent ; more humane. We cannot go'
back to republicanism with its extrava
gance and aristocratic tendencies. $20-
000,000 to a tyrant , to an implacable
foe of honesty and justice , lead and
steel for a people whose only crime is a
desire for liberty ; allowing Carter , who
stole over a million dollars directly
from the government , to go free and
uupardoned after being tried and found
guilty , retiring Gen. Eagan on full pay
for violating the law. These methods
we cannot endorse. The reform forces
are strong enough , if united , to defeat
this extravagant and dishonest party.
Every other consideration should be
laid aside , every grievance forgotten ,
and the slogan should be "simplicity
and frugality , " and this party of wild
delirious extravagance hurled from
power. Think of the millions that
have been transferred from the pockets
of the poor to the bank account of the
rich in commissions alone in the past
twc years and be warned of the absorb
ing tendency of this plutocratic party.
With the Dingley bill , the war taxand
the stamp act , this government is run
ning behind every month , and wnat
will it be when the principal on the
bonds are to be paid ? There is an am
ple cause for sober reflection. There
is abundant reason tor a solid unifica
tion of reform forces , and it is only a
selfish and office seeking propensitv
that will hind er or retard this noble
and patriotic movement for a , more
economical government. It is time to l
move now. The late action of thel
president in striking 4000 from the
civil service list is a fair warning of the
means that will be employed to retain
power. There is work to do. Minden

A birthday surprise party was given
to E. H. Wilson and his daughter ,
Nellie Tuesday evening , by the fam
ily and friends. They were given
numerous and valuable presents and
hearty wishes that they might sur *
vive to see the next annual anniver
sary of their birth. About 9 o'clock
light refreshments were served to
which all present did ample justice ,
after which we wended our-way home
feeling the evening" had been spent "

members all present.
Taxpayers from Table and Minne-
chaduza precincts appeared and pro
tested against raising hurl in those
precincts as the equalization schedule
required.
Acting on the advice of the county
attorney , Commissioner Spratt , holding
that the present method of equalization
is unjust , for the reason that it did not
equalize the valuation of the land
throughout the county , moved to leave
the value of the land in Table and Min-
nechaduza precincts as found by the
assessors , Commissioners Parker and
Trowbridge voting against the motion
for reason that they believed the mo
tion to be contrary to la .v.

Jay Lentz , foreman in the mines of
the Great Western Company , was
caught 'under a fall of slate in the
mines at Harmon , W. Va. , about three
months ago. His skull was crushed
and Dr. E. 0. Harmon and two other
surgeons gave him up to die. A piece
of his brain larger than a teacup was
broken away from the main body of
the brain structure and the skull cover
ing it was broken away.
After a few days the doctors decided
to take heroic measures. The shattered
brain was cut away and dressed. A
healthy yearling calf was tied down ,
her skull was cut away and a lobe of
brain was removed and fitted into the
cavity in Lentz's head. The wound
then was dressed and trephined aud re
sults were awaited. The calf's head
meanwhile was fixed up with half a
brain in it.
Both the man and the calf have pro
gressed satisfactorily , and the man is
nearly as well as before the operation ,
though his-mental vigor is not entirely
restored. The calf stands as if asleep"
until startled , when it moves until in
terrupted in a straight line. It will
not eat until its jaws are opened and
then the jaw movement must be stop
ped by force , as the calf continues to
chew even when the food is remoyed. :
It is indeed a wonderful operation , and
the action of the calf reminds us of a
machine editor of the republican or plu *
tocratic party.

on Argentine cattle they were 3s 6d to
3s lOd. That is , the best American
cattle were quotable only two pence per
8 pounds ( dressed weight basis ) above
the best Argentines. Or if best Amer
icans were worth 12i cents per pound ,
best Argentines sold up to 12 cents.
There is no question about the increas
ing competition of the Argentine beef
producer. He is a good second both in
numbers and quality to the American ,
though , the condition of his stock on
arrivals not so satisfactory. There is
a lesson in the progress that Argentine
has made toward the top in beef pro
duction. "Good blood" that is the
reason and that is the lesson. Argen
tine breeders have spared no expense
for blood and they are getting it back
many fold.
