' MR',DAY, JUNE 15, 1893. McKinley and protection is the war cry still in Ohio politics. Republicans are rallying in many of the states for a victorious fight in the coining elections. A man sutlers ou account of the sins of his ancestors; that cannot be avoided. But he suffers tenfold more on account of his own sin. This he can remedy. The Muncie News speaks out forcibly on the present stringency as follows: It is not now as it was a year ago in financial, industrial and commercial affairs. Workmen then were looking for and getting higher wages. Now they arc expecting and dreading lower wages. The benefits of a Democratic aominisiratiou are not materializing. Indeed the reverse is the case. But then demagogues promised great things and inveigled the voters to elevate to power a party that had never been tried but to be found waiting. The end is not yet, but the future has a squally oatlook. In the meantime, like Nero fiddling while Rome' burned, the’ President fishes resignedly, if not enthusiastically, regardless of consequences. The Baltimore Su.i a conservative Democratic newspaper shows that it appreciates the present situation in tne following vigorous words upon the duties of Congress. The pledge of the Democratic platform upon the Sherman silver law was plain and unequivocal. Besides the state of business in the country plainly shows the sentiment in favor of repeal. And- the Democratic, party will be held responsible for whatever financial legislation is passed. Here are the Sun's words.:, > From the West and South as well as the East—which did not need the lesson—the demand is made upon Congress to act upon this pressing question with a due sense of its urgency. Theorists will no doubt try to prevent action. The repeal of the Sherman .act will be resisted by the silver-mine owners and their 'dupes. There will be efforts to stave off action, to force bargains and compromises. If the House sees its duty and does it, under pressure of the overwhelming force of intelligent public opinion, t til] the Senate, it is suggested, is a, citadel of silver fanaticism that can not be moved. This, }: is hoped, is,a false estimate of the Upper House. Facts will probably l a taken into account there, when the time comes, as well as in the House. Whatever the result, it has in it the making or the marring of the Democratic party. Tin 1 party is responsible now for the whole conduct of affairs. If,'folio wing the lead of the schemers and marplots in its ranks, it shows itself at this crisis to 1 stupid, nerveless, inefficient, it will be dismissed from power by the people as relentlessly as was its predecessor. The awful casualty at Ford's theatre in Washington where President Lincoln was shot adds another to the list for More than fifty people were seriously injured and twentythree dead bodies were removed from the ruins. With five hundred government clerks at work in the build-

ing, it is surprising that.the deathroll is not much higher. There were many narrow escapes. Several years ago, in 1885, the building was reported to Congress as unsafe, but that body did nothing more than remove goods which the government had stored there £o a place of safety, and allowed the building to be occupied by clerks until the collapse last week. There were many‘narrow escapes and the stories of suffering growing out of the disaster are heart-rending. It is becoming more and more common to hear the remark that the Republican, is the best paper for all the local news, published in good style. If you think so, tell your friends about it and induce them to subscribe. Or if they have moved away, send the paper to them. It will be a weekly letter Vhich they will enjoy. Boom the Fourth. Oar Confused Financial Condition. The policy which has involved the finances of the United States in a confusion without parallel in the history of prosperous nations is due to the folly of attempting to compromise an economic principle. Economic laws are not the product of legislation, they are the result of forces which no one country can affect, and which the combined legislation of all nations could not permanently control. An attempt to compromise an economic law is about as intelligent a proceeding as an attempt to compromise the state of the weather or the course of the seasons. If two men, joint owners of a field, dispute the proper season for planting grain one insisting it should be planted in April, the. other contending it should be planted in October, and they should compromise by planting it in January, does any sane man believe that a fruitful crop would crown the, husbandry which had been the result of such acompromise? The men who scattered seed upon the ground at a period when the laws of nature, necessarily made it unproductive would have exercised an undoubted individual right, but their course would have exposed them to the pity and ridicule of sensible, men. So, in treating subjects controlled by economic laws, contending members of a legislature may agree upon acompromise which will prove effective to close debate and postpone discussion, but the economic laws will be in no wise affected by their arrangement, and if the scheme which they adopt be out of harmony with those laws, the the result will be disastrous to commercial prosperity. —Hon. W. Burke Cochran in the North American Review. JOHN C. NEW’S VIEWS. John C. New said yesterday that Benjamin Harrison is without doubt the strongest man in the Republican party, that Mr. Harrison’s administration won respect and admiration from the English. He said, “If Harrison would 1 accept the nomination four years from now, he can get it practically without opposition, I think that if he is nominated lie will be elected by the largest majority ever given to a candidate for the presidency.” “Ex-Speaker, 'fom Reed has been mentioned as a probable candidate. Would he, iff your opinion, have the i hearty support of the Republican party?” “I do not think Reed will ever be mentioned in connection with the office. His popularity is not built on solid ground; it is evanescent, and ho will hardly be prominent four years from now.” “W'hat did the better class of English people think of the appointment of Gresham to a cabinet position?” “Gresham was hardly heard of at all on the other side. No one knows him; no one cares about him. Those | that I talked to about the matter I thought that he had made,a theatrical play at a time when the American people was acting as|iudience. They were astonished that so many people j seemed to take all that Gresham said in good faith. ,

It is easy to be, but harder to appear to be. It is easier to mean right than it is to do right. It is easier to be brave than it is to be patient. The wren has a sweeter song than the peacock. The smallest sin is big enough to hide the face of God. The religion that has no joy in it does not come from God. God is robbed whenever a man gives another light weight. There is as much love in warning as there is in a promise. There are two ways of telling a goose by its gabble and walk. Find a man who has no hobby, and you find one who is not happy. Scrubbing a pig with soap will not take the love of mud out of its heart. The devil agrees with th<? man who says he can’t see any sense in being religious. The Nation has no better friend than the mother who teaches her child to pray. It is easier to tell others what they ought to do than it is to tell yourself what you must do. Ohio Republicans want no wildcat state bank currency. They are squarely for honest money. Louis Lehman and family, of Columbus, spent Sunday with A.Dalmbert and family. Ralph Spaugh will complete his college year at Franklin this week. He expects to go to Chicago at once. COLUMBUS, HOPE & GREENSBURG Westbound STATIONS.
