CONSPICUOUS FAILURE. iBeKiatay’s lUeord m Governor mi Ohto Sbowa Lack of Ability. It has been generally understood that Bon. William McKinley’s record as governor of Ohio was noteworthy chiefly for the manifestation of a lack of executive ability. ▲ oorrepeondent of the New York World has been looking op facts and statisitcs of the McKinley regime at Columbus. He finds, as a result of careful examination, that, financially considered, his administration was weak indeed; that the state was “all but bankrupt” during his term of service; that the duties of his offioe were largely delegated to subordinates, while Governor McKinley indulged in political work and speech making tours. In short, that the great statesman of Canton proved a conspicuous failure as executive. Do the American people care to choose as chief magistrate a man with such a record in executive office as William McKinley, however amiable and well intentioned he may be?—'Boston Globe. The Republican Emblem. Chairman Hanna’s formal recommen- j dation of the use of the California pampas plume in red, White and blue, mounted fan shape on a staff, for parades and interior decorations, by Re- | publicans in the coming campaign, strikes the average mind as rather more (esthetic than practical. Probably it would be better to assign to Hanna the work of fat frying and marshaling the •forces, leaving the artistic work of the campaign to other hands. -—Boston Herald.

Tho Prie* of a Day's Work. McKinley haa promised that under his administration a full day’s work will be paid in a full dollar. He couldn’t have meant that, for a dollar a day would not be prosperity’s wages. But it is not for McKinley to fix a future rate of wages, even at that figure. It’s for tho trusts to say whether a man shall have a full day’s work or whether the mills apd factories shall shut down to stiffen the market and take a pinch out of the consumers. —Philadelphia Record. A Delicate Distinction. Speaker Reed is deep; also tactful. He lost no time after the nominations in telegraphing his congratulations to McKinley. He began his dispatch: “I wish you a happy and prosperous administration. ” Then he remembered Hanna, and thoughtfully added the qualification: “Happy for yourse lf and prosperous for the country.” Perhaps the distinction is too delicate for Hanna, but we are sure Mr. McKinley can appreciate it—New York Journal. 1 ~ “ Where Hunk Got It. The Rocky Mountain News asks in humorous verse where Hann'a got his #6,000,000. The answer is easy. It was his share of the profits which the Iron Ore trust made as a result of the high ’protective tariff. It may be added that Hanna hopes to make #G, 000,000 or #8,000,000 more by electing his tool, McKinley, and re-enacting the McKinley trusts’ tariff. Platt Not Ready to Retire. The Republican party in New York is split as never before since the days of Folger. The delegates to St. Louis have exhausted upon each other the vocabulary of Billingsgate, and have brought back to New York Only envy, hatred and malice. McKinley’s election means Platt’s dethronement, and Platt is not yet ready to retire.--New York Journal. Had Enough of McKinley. The McKinley act caused a deficit in the revenue of #72,000,000 in 1894 and under it occurred the terrible panic from which we have not yet recovered, but the McKinley act will never cause another panic for the simple reason that there will never be another McKinley tariff.—Kansas City Times. Mark Docs tho Striking. Hanna still shows signs of a desire to keep the Republican candidate silent, j The Cleveland ironmaster would prefer ! the nominee to be like the safety matches that only light when struck upon the box, Mark being the box in this case.—„ New York Evening Sun. Got Din Own Medicine, Tom Reed is said to feel very much humiliated by the small number of votes Mr. Hanna permitted him to receive. Mr. Reed now knows just how a Democrat who has been unseated by the Reed ! method feels. —New York Journal.

Ad Khbj of Labor. Mark Hanna has antagonized organf iaed labor at every turn. And Mark Hanna will practically be the next president if the votes next November should go McKinley's way.—Boston Globe. How They Orated. It was unfortunate that, in nominating Reed, Senator Lodge talked through his nose,, but he compared favorably with Hanna, who talked through his pocketbook.—Kansas City Times. Previous to his nomination a cathode ray could not have discovered McKinley’s greatness. Now the Republican papers are filled with accounts of how they are finding it—-Exchange English Thread Tint The English thread companies have formed a trust and will attempt to monopolize the business in this country as well as England. The Ohio idea is spreading.—New York World. Addl«ks Won’t Bo Fried. Mr. Addicks is firm in the belief that the “moral idiots’* of the country will not be among the heavy contributors to the campaign funds this year.—Washington Post.

They are running two rigs one of which is a cyclone, j The boys are hustlers and love to$ee things , K°- 5 . ° [

Lee Houehin one of our threshing! machine uien met with quite an accident the other day. In mining lie iTmke the master gear wheel oh his engine. The break was immediately retired at a cost of and Let is right in the push again, i The teachers of south Pike county are] very much disappointed at the county institute beiug moved from Winslow to Petersburg. Although this makes it very inconvenient for the pedagogues of the South part of the county still they can't afford to miss so good a thing as the county institute, and it is expected that all will attend. Politics are becoming very warm, in fact they are getting hot. It is not an issue1 between parties this time. It is an issue between classes, and the average schoolboy can sec upon which side of the question the farmer and the laborer should stand. Let the good work of\mtting the right kind of men in office, men that will work for the masses and the cause of right, in office, begin right in Pike county and let it l>e carried on and on uintil we get the right men in the right place, when we will have Bryan and Sewall at the helm. Condensed Testimony. Charles B. Mood, broker and manufacturer's agent, Columbus. Ohio, certifies that Dr. King’s Sew Discovery has no equal as a cough remedy. J. D. Brown prop. St. James hotel. Ft. Wayne. Indiana, testifies that he was cured of a cough of two years standing, caused by ia grippe, by Dr. King's New; Discovery. B. F. Merrill. Baldwinsville. Mass., says that he ha» usod and recemended it. and never knew it to fail and would rather have it than any doctor, because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming of iif’E. 25th St. Chicago, always keeps it at hand and has no tear of croup, because it instantly relieves. Free trial bottles at J. K. Adams 4 Son's drug store. *

Walter Ferguson and Dan Rhoades attended the teachers’ examination at Petersburg last week, and report the silver element strong at that place. Dan says j McKinley is not in it. Bryan and bewail are the men to Tote for. If the plowman and the wage^arner will just look U> the Last and see that the

moneyed aristocrats are wanting gold it will be evidence that it is against their ii terest to vote for McKinley. The people have had enough of the present gold standard and want a change. And the farmei -s and tax-payers of Pike county want a thange ‘ in the management of the affairs here at home. r

There are now 130,^00 railroad men in the United States and Canada who wear temperance badges and are now total abstainers.

Our city experienced a rare treat last week in having a silver and also a great gold medal contest which were both ably conducted by the presidents of contest work—Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Batch of Indianapolis. Such able declaiming is a means of culture to our town aside from the moral good, and it is worthy of the best talent Petersburg affords. ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE. A few years ago such eminent physicians as D. A. Monae Lesser and Dr. G. Sterger of New York city, would have scouted the idea of a doctor getting along without the use of liquor in their practice, but to-day they stand convinced by the logic of events transpiring under their own eyes that it is % not a necessity, and they have almost dispensed with it, although neither ax® personally total abstainers and have established a hospital and training school for nurses with a special clause in the constitution \.. discouraging the use of liquor, leading doc- ! tors of New York city are on the medical L staff, and like the famous medical hospitals of London and Chicago, it. is weilding its influence. Dr. Lesser had 'an experience that opened his eyes. Rev. John Johns, ) M. E. pastor of Beekman Hill church, hail an attack of apoplexy, and he being his physician, the experiment was made, and | although an allopath of the German school, | became convinced that alcohol was neither ! medicine nor food. Says he: “We have j become convinced that alcohol can be en- | tirely eliminated from medical practice,

| Where stimulants are required such reme- | dies as eoffein, nitroglycerine and kalafra, : are even more satisfactory. The drugs that I' have mentioned serve exactly the siatne purpose without the disastrous results that follow the use of alcohol.” Dr. George F. Shrady. editor of the Medical Record, and who was both President Grant's and Garfield > physician, says: “There is altogether I too much looseness among doctors in prescribing alcohol. Whiskey is not a preventative, it prevents uo disease whatever, contrary to a current notion. It is a dangerous drug. I think that in most cases where alcohol is now nsed, other drugs with which we are: familiar could bo used with far better effect and no harmful results.” Says Dr. Leger of New York city: “I dou-t used alehohol at all in my practice. I use to, but ;mv oliservation has been that other drugs do the saute work without the harmful .results. Alcohol over-stimul&tes the heart and tears down the cellular tissues of the system. The use of alcohol is simply a superstition among physicians, they haTe used if so long that they always must. I am uot a total abstainer, but that only shows that I take better care of illy patients than I do of myself.” Mas. A. R. Law7, Editress. * Did l'oa liver.
