Some sanguine Republicans pro phesy that McKinley will have from 50000 to 75 000 majority over Neal, in the race for Governor of Ohio It is doubtless true that Ohio is a Republican State, but the indications are that McKinley will have a close shave in his race this year, with a possibil ity that Neal may prove the victor — wo hope this possibility will not fall short of realization.

THE SENATE. Washington, Sept. 1.—In the senate yesterday Senator Wolcott (Col.) spoke against the repeal of the silver law. A concurrent resolution was introduced directing the secretary of the treasury to issue certificates not to exeeed 20 per cent, of the amount of gold coin and bullion in the treasury.

There is no effort being made to quarantine against an epidemic of “confidence'’ in business affairs—all seem willing to expose themselves to an attack of this disease.

Over 10,000,000 people have paid their half dollars to see the sights of the White City in Jackson Park.

In less than two months business of all kinds will he booming, so say the prophets, and we will not realize that a panic has been on.

The income tax is still a live issue; jit is in the interest of justice and equity ; a law levying this tax to raise revenue for the national government

cannot be enacted too speedily.

The big round silver dollar which the yellow metal devotees are endeavoring to dishonor is still good for 100 cents, ami will pay for the Star-Press for a whole year.

From Washington comes a special saying that President Cleveland has decided to send another special mes sage to Congress recommending the coinage of the silver bullion now in the Treasury.

Times are hard, say some people, and economy is necessary; our advice is, don’t economize in the use of soap and water in these days when cholera may possibly knock for adm saioti into your domicile.

In the Senate a hill has been intro duced by Hill, repealing the federal election law, and in the House Gen. Black has introduced a similar meas ure. Force and fraud at the polls will soon be a thing of the past only.

The nervous people who hid their money in cellars or garnered it in old stockings can now r turn it into the usual places ol safe keeping, or pay their debts if they owe any—the fi nancial unpleasantness 1 s passed away.

The best evidence that money matters have righted themselves and that times are better, is the fact that mills and factories are starting up again alj over the country after enforce! idleness, and business of all kinds is quickened into lite.

The silver dollar is here to stay; the people demand it. Congressmen and Senators who prove recreant to the pledges made before election by voting against the continued coinage of silver will come home to stay ; the people will decree it.

Cholera is spreading rapidly over the continent of Europe, but it is not proving the scourge that was niani lest in former years. Improved sanitary regulations and increased medical skill keeps the disease within cir cumscribed bounds. By* the-way, ’twould be well to scour and clean up at home—the disease may find lodgment this side the Atlantic.

The Republican State Central Committee met at Indianapolis, on Monday, and the brethren de dared that the Indiana legislative apportionment law is “an act of political barbarism.’’ They forgot to mention the fact, however, that their denunciation was simply their expression of opinion, and that a majority of the people believe just to the contrary.

It is now thought that the financial muddle in Congress will be settled by a compromise measure which will guarantee the legal tender quality of the silver dollar and repeal the 10 per per cent, tax on the circulation of State banks. That something must be done in regulation of national finances besides the repeal of the purchase clause nf the Sherman law nearly all agree, hut the plan heretofore has been to do nothing till the repeal bill gets through Congress. That measure was stampeded through the House, and the guess that the repeal bill will be passed in the Senate within the next ten days or two weeks, though it may not be the correct one, is not a wild one.

The United States Senate does not seem to be as able tongued on the question of finance as was the House of Representatives. This would in dicate that the more money you have the less you know about money matters, as the Senate is usually rated as an aggregation of millionaires, with a smattering of "poor white rrash” to give it caste.

The loud and fanatical efforts t f Republican politicians to shift the blame of the passing panic upon the Democratic party is futile and foolish. In the first place the people know that it is the direct result of Republican legislation in past years, and secondly the people are not fools, and cannot be gulled into the belief that chalk is cheese in finance any more than they can in provisions. The Republican calamity howlers must bear the burdens of their past misdeeds

The Indiana prize fighting disgrace - In be wiped out. Advertisement '.vus made of a great prize fight to take place at Roby on last Monday night, but the “mill” was headed off by Gov. Matthews taking charge of the Athletic Club premises. A temporary injunction was secured,, restraining the club from giving any more exhibitions, and the arena was surrounded by 700 members of the State Guard. The officers of the club are preparing to strike back at the (Governor through the courts.

The loudest and most persistent calamity howlers in these latter days are Republican politicians and news papers. Their howling is the out growth of partisan bias, and is tainted with the claim that no relief, real or imaginary, will come until the Repnb lican party controls every office from Paesident to Road Supervisor. Th*facts, however, give the lie to the assertions of the Republicans; from all quarters is heard’ the cheering news that mills, etc., are again at work,and money is circulating more freely each succeeding day.

The record of the past two or three months, in financial affairs, is a remarkable one. Without real cause about $250,000,000 of deposits have been withdrawn from National Banks and stored away in private hiding places. This withdrawal of deposits forced the banks to curtail their loans anil over $150,000,000 tliat had been loaned to hank customers were call d in. Thus it was in so short a time, the money in circulation was con traded *400,000,000, as the result of a scare gotten up by capitalists in the East, who hoped to benefit themselves, but were in the end the most deeply injured of all our people. The people are discovering that it does not pay to withdraw their money from circulation ; the hidden dollars are gradually finding their way’ into circulation, and the panic is a thing of the past. There should be a lesson for the future in the experience of the last few weeks.

Washington, Sept. 4.—A joint resolution to amend the constitution relating to the election of senators by the people was introduced in the senate on Saturday. The house urgency d(f^ flcleney bill was passed. A bill appropriating fiOO.OOO to enable the enforcing of the Geary Chinese exclusion act was discussed.

The Cherokee Strip is to he opened up for settlement on Sept. 10, acci rd ing to the President’s proclamation and there are ab< ut ten boomers on hand for each 1(10 acres of laud in the territory. These people are making a grave mistake in taking the chances to secure a claim when there is so great opposition. Another fact is made known, and that is that most of this Cherokee land is very poor, and promises little in the way of monetary gain or successful farming.| People generally hone lor experience, and it proves valuable, where advice or theoretrical knowledge is unheeded.
