Danger in the Kerosene Lamp.

Who would suppose that a turneddown kerosene lamp would breed diphtheria? We are all accustomed to the disagreeable fumes arising from this cause; and when New York was suffering from an epidemic of diphtheria, the Board of Health decided that Its presence was to be attributed to the fumes of a kerosene lamp turned down low more than to any other single cause. Whether or not this be so, It certainly Is a mistaken kindness on the part of an Indulgent mother to allow a lamp to remain In a child’s bedroom with the flame turned down. A turned-down kerosene lamp is a magazine of deadly gM, to which the strongest lungs cannot safely be exposed.

•*A FIRM ADHKBSNI'B TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

A million bushels of wheat were loaded the other day for foreign ports. It was of the old crop, and had been bought up at its lowest price Short crops in Europe made it an easy matter to bull up prices and the capitalists are the beneficiaries. So long as McKinley continues to declare that the foreign manufadturer pays the tariff duty on his goods shipped to this country, no Democrat will sneer at the Jour nal for claiming that credit is sole ly due “to Republican policy” for “our gool crops of farm products and increasing demand for them.” Our youthful neighbor is indignant and complains thusly (“Of course they refuse to give any credit to Republican policy”) for “our good crops of farm pro ducts and increasing demand for them ” Our dimocratic friends should cease their “aggrawations."

In a spirit of sarcasm the Columbus Press says that it is pitiful to see those once proud coal barons driven away from their mines and compelled to pass the summer in their yachts far from home and friends, while the reckless and ovei fed miners remain at home enjoying the grand chorus of prosperity at 42 cents a c av.

Tne leader in the junior repub-, lican organ this week ann unces: *•I n 1892 our country was enjoying the highest degree of prosper' ity in its history.” * * * Let’s see! 1892! That was the year of the great “Homestead” strike, when the great state of Pennsylvania paid f, om the taxes of her people half a mill : on dollars to protect the property of one Carne ie from the fury of in<n maddened at the refusal of living wages for their labor. Carnegie, bad hied himself to lue austJa in Scotland lor personal safety. 1892! The year when a successor to our own Bennie Harrison was chosen. The people of that time do not seem to have realized that they were “enjoying the high estpros; erity in its (the country’s) history,” and desired a big change for the better, hence the t emendous vote which retired Bennie Harrison to private life It was the closing year, too, of an admin isiration which had looted the treasury of the millions of surplus left by Mr. Cleveland’s first ad ministration, and also of the vast collections drawn from the people during the four years of its existence, and which had to i esort to the banks for aid to tide it to its close, leaving a big deficiency in the place of the large surplus it had received. It had also placed upon the statute books the McKinley bill, having for its object the reduction of revenue collections. Had Cleveland stood true to his party and the platform upon wlrch ho waj nominated and elected, McKinley would have been relegated to Canton.

The Journal man, we think, is not responsible for the article in question. He could not give such statements to his readers, if acquainted with the true condition of the country at the time referred to, but he should not permit his writers to place him in such hole. A majority of his readers re« member the kind of prosperity existing in 1892. The military of Pennsylvania remember the weary days spent in the |camps around “Homestead." And Harrison and his supporters remember their fruitless appeals to Carnegie, secure in his castle in Scot** land, and his attitude— the same as the Vanderbilts—“the party and the public be d d!”

the t ennsylvania Democrats show no disposition to waver in the contest to establish the coinage rights of silver. In his address before the Democratic state con * vention, chairman Irwin said: “While we meet as Democrats of Pennsylvania, let us not forget that in a larger sense we are members of the great national Democratic party, the party of Jackson, the

■ greatest champion of the people's ' rights in Ameaican history; the I same party which, in 1896, “unuer i the magnificent leadership of W. J. Bryan, 6,500,000 strong, animated by a purpose as sincere and earnest and a motive as; high and patriotic as that which characterized the hosts which were ma abated by Peter, the Hert it, on the plains of Asia, began the battle in defense of the plain people—the producers of wealth—and the same party which stands ready today to "ontinue that battle, and which in 1900, on the same platform and under the same magnificent lead > ership, will carry our banner to ' ictory, restore to the people the gold and silver of the constitution, overthrow the money power and the organized trusts and enthrone the people in governmental affairs. “They tell us that prosperity has come; thatsl wheat means the death of the silver question. I’hey forget that we had $1 wheat in '9l and the Homeptead strike in 1892. They have given us a tariff bill which was justly characterized by a distinguished senator as the most infamous tariff law ever placed up on the statute book in any country. Every line of it was writte . in the interest of the trusts that contrib. uted the money to make McKinley’s election possible. It has been followed by strikes and lockouts, the reduction of wages and an increase in the cost of all the necessaiies of lite.”

The Wheat Supply

The Deficiency for This Year is Estimated at 14,000,000 Quarters. London, Hept. 6.—The Mark L ane Express, reviewing the crop situation, says to day: “The weather has been adverse to the completion of the harvest, and the quantjty of grain still out is considerable. The French wheat crop is estimated at 31,000,000 quarters by the chief writers of the Paris press. Correspondents of English business firn s state that the crop will amount to from 38,000,000 to 36,000,000 quarters. The AustriaHungary crop is sta'ed to be .17,000,000’quarters. If this is true it adds greailv to the gravity of the si nation. The American crop is reckoned by careful judges to be 68,500,000 quarters, or 11,000,000 improvement, to offset a decline of 9,000,000 quarters in Bus* sia and 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 quaiters In France. “All the figures point, therefore, to a deficiency in the world’s sup* ply of 14,000,000 quarters. Bho’d the demand be actually us large as this, the stores of old wheat will be used up and a crisis of great seriousness will only be prevented by generally good prospects for the spring of 1898. We are not, however, entitled to argue that such prospects will be more than the average.” A “quarter” of wheat, the announcement referred to in the above dispatch, is about eight bushels, which would make the wheat deficit ot the world tnis year, according to the figures of the Mark Lane Express, which is regarded as an authority on such els.

The tax-gatherers of Chicago are after George M. Pullman. The assets of the company as sho t vn by the annual report for the year 1896 were $63,000,000. What wo’d one suppose that the assessed valuation of these assets for taxation should he? Not less than $50,000,000, of couse. But Pullman returned the property for taxation at 81,500,000. It cost the city of Chicago more thans2oo,ooo to protect his property during the riots in 1894. Kind words cost nothing, b*it but their expression at the right time sends an amount of sunshine into the life of those at whom they are aimed. When you are|on the street make frequent use of them when meeting friends, especially do so when you come in contact with the young. The Republican party has went and perfected the most|scientific tariff yet seen in this country.— Mark Hanna to the people of Ohio, Thetariff be s infernal scientific that us does not wonder, but perhaps we guess the people of Ohio will be onto all its curves before November.--'National Democrat.

The Democratic papers tell us that I was assistant president m Washington, which is an unsmitigated falsehood, and ye know it, all of ye.—Hanna’s Toledo speech.— He forgot to add: ‘I was the whul thing.’ ” —Nat’onal Democrat. The Hannaitos seem to forget that it is the average prices of wheat and silver thatjthat bimetal lists pointed to in the late campaign.

Doctor Moore, the careful spei cialist, Rensselaer. Indiana. M hen the Republican party see anything to be done she at once pioceeds to do it.—Mark Hanna. 5 The nat onal banks are prepariDg to inflate the currency with worthless unredeemable paper of theii own brand. L> Judge Healy’s is the place for shoes—Gente', Ladies’ and Child* ten’s. Don’t forget it. The Republican party evidently see that it ought to dodge the silver issue in Ohio and lowa, and she be having n h 1 of a time trying to do it.— Ex. The short wheat crops abroad have result 3d in higher prices for the American product. Legislas tion against silver abroad and at home had a tendency to reduce the price of this American product. This is all that there is to it.

A dollar a dav is enough for any man to work for a day.—Mark Hanna to Ship Carpenters’ Union, 1877. On election day in Ohio next November, thousands of workingmt u will put in a full d y at tho polls for the pure love of the thing. The Republican party, she won’t take no backward step at this inportant point in their progress.— Mark Hanna’s Toledo speech. Sun ply I ecause she neon the run and know that the Democrats be close on her trail.

If the Republican party is in the habit of “seeing something to be dono and then doing it,” it ough. to see that Mark Hanna is sadly iu need of a grammar. Engineer Bostwick will get you up plans and specifications for building. Charges reasonable.— Office up-stairs, in Forsythe building.

WHAT A HICCOUGH MEANT.

To a Gallant Young Man It Brought Title and fianda. One of the groadeat houses of $e Austrian nobility is indebted ter Its princely dignity to a piece of courtler-llks loyalty, performed by out of its members during the reign or Env press Maria Theresa. The august lady, during the raidrt at some function, had had the misfortune to hiccough In a peculiarly loud and aggressive manner, not altogether In keeping with the law* of polite society, but which In Japan or Oriental countries would, of course, have been regarded as a piece of lofty breeding. » Perceiving that her majesty showed traces of embarrassment- for even presses are human—a young Austrian nobleman stepped forward, and, with a most clover assumption of intense mortification and humility, craved her majesty*# pardon ter his gross breach of mannete. The empress received hie apologies, not only graciously, but also gratefully, and from that time forth the young man’s fortune was made, and before tho empress died he had been promoted, not only to the rank of count, but also to that of prince, besides being generously endowed by his Imperial benefactress with mesne to support his titles.—Boston Herald. IT is underrtood that the Duke of York has answered cordially the' invitation of the Australian premier U rteit Australia with tho duchess tillrear, excusing himself on the ground that domestic oiroumoiances oom pel alm to deolinc for ths present.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

We pray the moat for wh/Rto* need. Sin alwaya canto* a knife under cloak. A fool never learns anything fronts mistake. No man does his beet who walks only for pay. A self-made man always spoils tts job somewhere. The cheerful giver is always the on'; who gives much. Health is another word for tempo,anee and exercise. What a multitude of ugly sins caa hide behind one doubt. The devil won't let a stingy mau have any mercy on himself. That man is a thief who is boner* only because he is watched. The birds with the brightest fee timers do not sing the sweetest The sheep that goes astray nevrv dads a green pasture for Itself. We hate our own slns*when we ff*i them full grown in somebody else. There is a policeman called Tim.tad he says to every lingering son n! nani “Move on." We will find u » K-manent resting place in this life, d to-morrow may find us gone.

STUB ENDS OF THOUGHT.

Money is not the measure of merit > Mercy is the melody of the Master. / Love is a natural product of buma» Ity. True religion is the perfect demooracy. A woman has no use for a dutch Oupid. Possession is pursuit with the pith punched out Epigrams ate diamonds in the grave',of conversation. The harder a woman's heart works, the less liable ft to to go on strike, A woman can do a wrong thing twice as quick as a man can, but it tfdees her a hundred times as long to forget it. Some people love each other for what they think they are, and some people love each other without thinking anything about it
