Circuit Court.

What next. Grover, a crown? Now is your time to demand it hilc tins Democratic congress • on your hands. The latest reports from the mnpaign in Nebraska looks dediedly Populist. Still the old arties say the Populists are jsing ground, and that the • -..use they hold up is dead. Well, • o are here to say that the Pop- . .ist party is the liveliest corpse! mat any Democrat or Republi- < an parties ever saw at a politi<funeral. J' .st now King Grover is going many undeserved compli'.ients for vertebra?!. rigidity. ot a piece of his whole spinal column, from atlas to coccyx, -..ad anything whatever to do in *• inging about unconditional i epeal; it was, as everybody ’.nows. Wall Street's wallet that mocked. Cleveland was but a tool, a shovel in the dirt. .The voters of the Democratic party put forty-four Democrats .. the United States senate. Twenty-three,a majority of them, opposed unconditional repeal, but twenty-one, the minority. j fined with the Republicans and shaped the policy of the party. It is a pretty spectacle to see a Democratic administration shelt ring under the wing of the .( publican side of the senate.

J ages W. Clarkson, assistant postmaster general during Garrison's administration, and ;m ex-chairman of the Republican national committee, says: ••The idea of private ownership < telegraph plants is as absurd private mail, service. The 1. legraph people dread a postal service, and that is why every cue in Washington is going home with a pocketful of telegraph Hanks. All these things will .me about some day, and when they come people will wonder how they ever got along without thorn.” Yes. Mr. Clarkson, they will come, but it will never be your party that will bring them. Mr. Clarkson says that under a postal telegraph ten cents for 1 -n words within a'soo mile limit would yield a handsome profit.

At last the great and wonderful World’s Fair has come to an end. Never before in the exist- <■ ice of this world, was such a gigantic work undertaken. Ali.hoagh the foreign attendance amounted to only a drop in the bucket, the total number of persons who saw it ran over 21,000.000. Just to imagine the immensity of the attendance of visitors to one little spot of GOO acres, is too enormous to even think of. America should be proud that the undertaking was a complete success in every particular. Chicago should also be commended for the handsome manner in which she took care of the oceans of visitors within her portals. Success seemed to be the guiding star in everything undertaken, while failure was lost in the great unknown, and now, after it is all over we hope for better times at home. Although the Fair has been a magnificent success, yet it has hurt the financial interests of the country surrounding Chicago. We hope that has passed and that we may now look for better ■ 'mos in onr home markets.

If the president had as much principle as “ward heelers” he would be in favor of a Democratic caucus on the repeal bill.

The labor cost of every article of manufacture included in the McKinley tariff bill is less than 25 per cent, of the value of the finished product. Hence, you can see how utterly foolish, or dishonest, it is to assert that it is the fear of a slight reduction in the tariff duties that brought on. and continues the financial and commercial troubles we are laboring under.

The time comes when the people who fret under u yoke de mand a change. We all have reverence for the deeds done by our fathers, and while we may. in our minds, differ with them as to many of the forms of government they have set about us, still the feeling of affection and the thoughts of the sufferings they endured, and the hardships they underwent, tend to make us bear with whatever evil things they have left us.

The president says: “It is not now a question of Unconditional repeal, but a ques tion as to Whether the majority shall rule.” His echo from Illinois repeats it to the senators. Those gentlemen were elected by the Democrats. Why do they object to settle the matter in a Democratic caucus. It is plain they are not willing that the majority should rule unless that majority conforms to their own views.

The tariff racket is being played in Ohio for all it is worth by the Republicans. It looks now, like they would have a considerable degree of success, the “bankers' panic” playing right into their hands. By the most prodigious and persistent lying, they are succeeding in diverting the attention of many laboring men from the real trouble, a coatracted currency. It may take another dose of McKinley ism to show the people the folly of trusting in either of the goldite parties for‘relief.

The Secretary of the Treasury says that the deficit for the first quarter of the fiscal year is *21.250,000 and should the actual receipts continue monthly at the same rate, there would be at the end of the year a deficit of ¥87,500,000. The debt of the first quarter of the fiscal year has increased over $20,0(10,000. It is expected that the United States will have a floating debt next June of $80,000,000, and this will be in addition to the $346,000,000 of greenbacks and the $156,000,000 of Treasury notes.

The so called “good roads congress,” recently held at Chicago. was little else than an association of bicycle manufacturjers, and all this agitation of the i road question is not so much for i the benefit of the farmers, as ! they would have us believe, as I . . lit is to make a greater market for bicycles. The Col. Pope i who addressed the meeting, and : whom the Republican calls the { “head and front of the good roads movement," is none other than the celebrated bicycle mani ul'acturer of Boston. He can well afford to agitate the road {question as long as he can sell a ( machine costing ten dollars to { make it at from eighty to one hundred dollars. He is at the head of all the road congresses. Out of 545 samples of foods : analyzed by the Ohio Food Comi missioner, 341 samples were ■ adulterated. A combination of .manufacturers and dealers has been formed and a large amount jof money raised to defeat. F. B. ■McNeal, the present commisisioner, and to have the pure food laws repealed. If the Ohio voter will look after . such I schemes with the same zeal he {exhibits in trying to keep a high | tax on What he eats, the day is

not far distant when the Ohio citizens can eat what they please without fear of any deleterious effects. Then death from “heart failure,” Bright's disease and a score of other maladies now so common will be scarcely known in the Buckeye state.

This, term has undoubtedly been the shortest and most un interesting one in quite awhile. The most of the causes have been of a minor nature and easily desposed of. Court adjourned last Friday and again resumed session this morning, and the business of this term will be settled to day and to-morrow.
