Wo didn't know be fore that Commissioner Webb didn't know n clock from a barn. There was a surplus in tho Bridge fund, and Webb instead of reducing tho tuxes to the people, spent tho money in building u mud pike toward his residence and left tho taxrato tho same. Webb is a republican, and believes that high taxes 1110 a sign of prosperity. What has become of Gov. Bush noli?

The Democrat says that tho poor fund is over-drawn $7000 and blames Cart Webb for It. Journal Gazelle. Tho Democrat says nothing of tho kind. Wo say tho County Fund is over-drawn nearly $7000, and if the commissioners are not respon sible for it who is? Wo Stand Corrected, We are reminded by a republican that the Mud piko did not cont as much as wo say it did. This may be '.rue. We know that $1808.20 was drawn from tho Bridge fund and applied '.o tho cause, and this does not In clude either tho fees of tho civil engineer and assistants nor the foes of Cart Webb for supervision. However our informant acknowl edges that only three and ono half miles was made and this makes $533.77 pr.mlle,nnd no legal author ity for tho expendlturo either. Prosperity and Idleness.

Prosperity that leaves 40,000 idlo men In tho city of Chicago Is not plenury prosperity. Thoro may bo prosperity for tho Sugar trust and tho Chicago City Railway company, but no prosper ity for tho 40,000 unemployed. Chicago Chronicle. r Tho Strange St6ry of Eitllo-John. In the early eighties there llyed In tho villago of Gore, in this county, a family by tho,. name of Littli'John, s w William, tho head oAhls family, had been to war, and had returned so far as wo aro informed in 'fair health and was listed In too annals af tho villago, as a laborer. Early in tho your 1881, Wm. was reported to bo sick, seriously sick and on the 21st day of April it was given out that ho was dead. An examination disclosed tho fact (hat Wm. Littli'John, had Joined tho'itr ,mles of tho great beyond, and so fur as this lifo is concerned, wdsay that ho was as dead as a door hal. Not that wo think u door nail'lins any cinch on the (load businoss oyer any other nail, but Win. Littlejohn was dead on tho 21 day of April 1881. This ditto must bo bornoln mind, for moro than ordinary foil so'ns. Thero seems to.liavo been noth ing uncommon about tho burial of Littli'John, for thero is no mention of tho matter in local .history "a'nd wo are left to infer that he. was buried as usually is dono. V Now comes the Btrunge part of. tho story. As is well known tho law provid es for the appointment of a corn-, mitteo of threo ex-soldlers in each voting precinct, to take chargo 'of the funerals of Indigent soldiers whoso duty it is to contract for. tho burial outfit and cortify tho satner to tho commissioners for ullowanco in any sum 'not exceeding $85.00. i ' Tho fact that such deceased sol dier was in indigent elrcumstundes" must bo ccrtiflud'to tho commiss ioners by three rep'utablo persons of tho precinct "other than the com mittee." In 1896, the siiid committee, ' for Goro precinct under dato of September 10th, 1S00, certified to the Commissioners, that ono .Wmt Littlejohn of Company H. 27th O. V. I. late of Gore Ohio, had died In indigent circumstances on (ho 21 day of April 1884, und that thero was duo Calyin Essex, as per bill attached tho sum of $35.00. Tho citizens certifying to the fact of in digency are, in part, tho commJJ; tee. The bill was allowed and ordered, paid by W. Cart Webb and Jesee William", county commissioner, and was paid by tho county treas urer. ; Now when was Littlejohn bur ied? Wus he Interred a day' pr two after his dOath In 1884, or not until Sept. 10th, 1896, twelve years four months andniieteen days after his death? If at the latter dato how was tho body preserved ? t( ho was burled In 84, h6w does It come that the certificate was not made out until 1896, which was moro than six years after the claim was barred by statute? ' I Do our Republican commission ers generally pay outlawed claims, or is this a special instance in which commidsioner Webb -favors hla brother-in-law, C. Essex to tho tuno of thirty five dullard out of th'e' money of tho taxpayers? "Letus have an explanation. ' Tho Ballot. The Stato Ballot, this year will have eight tickets j viz.

'In tfio'o.oursooftho'last'year nnd a iitllf Jtlarcus A. Hanna has de voloppd'frQma vulgar, industrial boss, grownrich on (ho sweat of hungry a nd helpless men, to n state and national political boss. Not knowing tho methods used by this mnn, many citizens of good charac ter, hi the light of his success, both in (ho accumulation of a great for tune',, and in tio management of a presidential campaign, have como to look upon him us a leader of im mense intelligence and heroic quul i(Ics. It Is only to them who have watched his methods It) business and politics, nnd who know (ho man as he really is, (hat he appears In his naturalu'iid acquired deprayl- , .'.ilost'of ijis life has been passed in Cleveland Ohio, and thero lie Is known fully to the people, and esti 'mated'at hlsMrue' Value. ? He'has'for years been denounced by every labqrlngmau and every labor organization in- Cleveland as k moral monster without "con science, nnd so dedicated to unlaw ful greed nnd gain that he has no friends except thoso ho buys. But now,'Hls. millions, supposed to have bqen wrung from the sinews of trrcd and oppressed labor, seem, if a suit just tiled Id tho Cleveland court is (rue, (o have been obtained ai Igast in part by a specie? of wholesale theft. Tho petition is ,flled by. threo of' (lie loading law Arms in Cleveland, for Mr. Frank D. Rqtbison, who sweara to nil (ho facts sot forth therein, not only for himself, , but. on boh nl f of nil the other stockholders in the Cleveland City Street Railroad company. Mr. Robison Is a very wealthy and responsible man, and if tho facts to which ho. has sworn in this suit are true, Mr.'IIanna should bo in tho"lpeniten(iary. If they are false, Mr. Hanna will have no diffi culty In recovering oveiy dollar he is worth from him in an acfion for 'da modes'. " , ;Mr. Robison alleges under oath ttdt Mark A'. Il'anria, J, R. Hanna J. J.

Among some of (bo sensational allegations of tho petition are tho following, .yhi: "That the capital stock of said company, of which said Mark A. Hanna is president, and said J. B.

If theso allegations aro true, and Mr, Han mi's interview In tho Ciovo land Plain Doalea of Sunday last indicates that they are, as ho refus ed to deny them, (ho people of .Ohio will gain a llttlo Information as to sotno of Mr. Hanna'a methods in money making, and In handling legislatures and political cam paigns. Tho world knows too llttlo of his kind of men. It has been getting conBtdorablo information in tho past year.' Mr. Hanna will not bo "elected to tho senate, nor will any man ot his character, either in tho Democratic party or his own. An honest, upright, patriotic citi zen will bo chosen our next sena tor, but whether ho Is to bo a Dem ocrat or a Republican remains to be scon. Will Ho Fight or Hide? General A.J. Warner has an nounced his candidacy for United States Senator from Ohio, and else where in this issuo of Tho Press will bo found his challenge to Mark A. Hanna for a Joint debate before tho people of Ohio, upon tho mone tary question now being agitated. Mr. Hanna will now bo compell ed to dofend his opinions or run. Ho Is known to bo not so much tho defender as tho inspiration of the presidetit. Now let him come be fore tho people nnd stand squarely up and tell them his convictions and purposes in regard to the finan cial legislation in (ho next congress. On the lust duy of the extra ses sion of congress, tho president sent a message to (hat body endorsing tho pollcy.prpjcctcd by tho Indiana polls conference of lust winter. That policy, as unequivocally stat ed in the resolutions of that con ference, is to reUro tho $346,000,000 of greenbacks by issuing bonds pay able, principal and Interests, in gold, to raise the money to do it. Not only this, but every other form of government paper money not payubloin gold is to bo (uken up in (ho same way, and tho cur rency is (o bo conver(cd into a gold Interest bearing debt, for tho benefit of foreign and domestic in vestors. Tho Indianapolis conference, a committee of which is now sitting In Washington as a "monetary commission," usurping tho powers of congress, deciart d for tho "gold standard" and denounced bimetall ism as a humbug, whether attempt ed by the TJrdlpd States alone, or by all the commercial nations ol the earth, (hus overthrowing the platform on which Mr. MeKinley wus olectcd, declaring for "interna tional bimetallism." Nowlet Mr. Hanna, (ho great "business ma'n'i" the "superb sena tor," tho "greatest mnn since Na poleon," come forward and debate before tho peoplo with ono of its most faithful representatives, wl o like himself aspires to a scat in tho sennte from Ohio. It will not do for Mr. Hanna to ofier any plea in avoidance of (his challenge. He must btand his ground or run in (ear like a coward. Ho must either defend or con demn tho presidnet's message, wiping his feet upon his party's national plutfbrm. Which do you do, Mr. Hanna? Como boldly out and (ell tho people where you stand and how you expect to vote upon this matter, and do not seek (o obtain votes under falso pretenses! Your (imo has come, Mr. Hanna, either (o face (ho music or to take (o (ho woods and hide! Columbus Press.

Now Orlcaim Times-Democrat.! Our Impression that tho Ohio voters will not elect a Republican Legislature Is derived from tho complete lack of enthusiasm with which Hanna has beon received In (ho cities in which ho has so far appeared, and Jrom tho pronounced antagonism which tho labor organ isations of the cltloB havo exhibited toward him, Tho killing frost ho experienced at Toledo on Tuesday of (his week, for example, points plainly (o Ids defeat.

Tho Mayor suddenly discovered (hat ho hud business in nnothor city, nnd ho wont to nttond to it; tho municipal officials did not think It proper to tako such a duty upon themselves in tho nbsenco of tho Chiof Magistrate of tho city; and, naturally enough, not so much as ono labor organization turned out to do honor to tho man who is pop ularly known among them as tho "labor crusher."

In ills recent opinion at Burton, Ohio, where ho hriped open tho Republican campaign, posed as tho friend of labor, nnd claimed that tho laboring men In his own section of the etate appreciated the fact Figures are said never to He, and a study of tho election statistics of Mark's own coun ty, Cuyahoga, tells a different story. In 1895 the Republican majority In Cuya hoga county was 10,778. In 189G, when tho Gold Democrats wcro voting for MeKinley, and Hanna was spending money like water to carry Ohio for Me Kinley, nnd was making a special ef fort In Cuyahoga county, McKlnley'a majority in Cuyahoga was 5,878, barely one-half of what it had been a year bo fore, and the heaviest Democratic galn3 were In tho wards where tho working man voted. This is a sample of Hanna'a popularity with the worklngmcn in hla own home. For tho whole summer of 1896 tho Brown Hoisting works. In which Hanna was largely Interested, was under military guard as the re sult of labor troubles and a strike of tho men for living wages. Tho coal strike of 1897 began In mines In which Hanna was a partner. For a friend of labor this Is a good record. Actions speak much louder than 'words, and (ho worklngmen ot Ohio will prefer to Judgo Mark Hanna by what ho has dono In the past rather than by hio honeyed words on tho stump. "Tho leopard cannot change his spots," and Mark Hanua cannot mako himself a friend of labor by empty campaign speeches. Ask the laboring men of Cleveland and they will tell you that Hanna has ever been their enemy. Conger says that Mark Hanna'a nom ination Is an Insult to tho laboring men of Ohio, and he knows whereof ho speaks. NO MAN OWNS THE TARTY. DEMOCRATIC The Gazette seems to be a llttlo wor ried about whether tho Record sup ports or opposes John R. McLean for United States senator. So far as wo know, Mr. McLean Is not a candidate for United States senator or any other office, and wo see no reason why wa should support or oppose any man for offlco until wo know that he la a can didate. Mr. McLean may bo a candi date, and there are othora In tho Dem ocratic party who may asplro to tho office, but unlike the Kepubllcans, who aro fettered and bound to ono candi date who controls and dictates the pol icy of tho party for personal gain, the Democrats ore tlid to no ono candi date for senator, and all will have an equal show when tho proper time comes. The Record has no preference at this time. Wo are fighting with our party to gain control of tho stato leg islature, and when that is done there is time enough to consider tho different candidates and chooso from among them. There is plenty of good material in the Democratic party, however, from which to chooso a United States sena tor, and wo have no fear but what one can bo found who will bo far superior to Mar(s A. Hanna, ono who will rep resent toe Interests ot tho stato and tho people at largo Instead of tho trusts and comMnes, bo it John R. McLean or anyono else. Tho Republicans, how over, havo no voice In tho matter. Mar cus A. Hanna Is the only candidate they djro support, as ho owns them, body and soul, and It would be suicide for any other candidate to oxprcss any dcslro In tho matter. Putnam County Record. Says tho Now York Pqst (Rep.): 'Wr. DIngley's cry for hasto with the tariff, on the ground that every day's delay meant a los3 to tho treasury of $100,000. Bounds hollow In tho face of actual returns. In New York the ro colpta for tho DIngley's flrnt day were $127,000, as against $361,000 from Wil son's last day, a clear loss of more than $200,000, caused by the advent of Dlng ley. Taking tho figures for the country as a whole, the comparison Is still more instructive. Tho deficit up to dato is $25,000,000, and would be much larger but for the extraordinary re ceipts under tho Wilson bill. When tho unaided Dlngley bill gets to work wo ehnll hnyo eomo magnificent monthly deficits to carry the fall elec tions with." sggaasi POINTS FOR I STOYE PURCHASERS.

WORK & SON. IS THtS BLASPHEMY? Republican Spellbinder Utter Word Shocking to Good People Mark Hanna Is a candldato for elec tion to the senate from Ohio. Ho has forced to their knees all tho Independ ent Republicans of the state and cor rupted tho venal ones until ho has grown arrogant and reckless. The other day ho made a speech, so-called. The samo day ho forced Senator For aker to humiliate himself by appear ing on tho samo platform. At another placo Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, tho paid attorney of tho Pacific rail roads, was brought in to swell tho an thems to Hanna. It was a saying of the ancients that "Whom tho gods wish to destroy they first mako mad." Surely tho Republi cans of Ohio aro mad when they In dulge in blasphemous utterances on the stump such as those uttered by Hanna, Forakor and Thurston. Says Hanna: "I tell you, my fellow citizens, that I believe, not perhaps that an All-Wise Providence has in terfered In visiting disaster upon other nations, a good deal as a Polish priest told me the other day, n mcly, that ho had mado up his mind tho Lord was a Republican." Mark's sentences aro somotlmes In volved, and tho above Is badly so, and havo to be read a second time to see Just what Hanna does say ho believes. Cleared of its tangles, this leader, statesman, patriot, philanthropist and public benefactor, tells his fellow-citizens that ue believes "a good deal as a Polish priest told me the other day, namely, that ho had made up hla mind the Lord was a Republican." Senator Foraker, knowing what Hanna was go ing to say, was not to be outdone An swering supposed Democratic claims that the present high prices of wheat aro due not to MeKinley, but to n fail ure of the crops In other places, he says: "They tell us that It Is an act of God, and not of the Republican party, that wheat Is $1.00 per bushel. There aro a good many answers to this sug gestion. In the first place, it seems a little singular If it Is nothing moro than an accident, that tho samo kind of an accident should attend the Re publican party whenever It is dominant In national affairs," etc. This Is but another way, Foraker's way of saying tho same thing that Hanna makes a Polish priest say, viz.: That God Almighty is a Republican. But U was left to Thurston, the Ne braska importation, to give full par ticulars of this late Republican acquisi tion. "They say to us, why, this Isn't Republican prosperity; this is the prov idence of God. That is true, but did you ever stop to think that slnco tho Republican party's first birth that the providence of God had never been Bpared on this country with its mag nificent blessing except when tho Re publican party was in power? "Why, we don't deny your statement This now prosperity Is the providence of God. Yes, Abraham Lincoln was the providence of God. Appomattox was the providence of God. The eman cipation proclamation waa the provi dence ot God. The MoKlnley bill waa tho providence of God. Tho Dlngley bill is tho providence of God. "William MeKinley Is the providence of God; yes, tho Republican party U tho providence ot God." GOOD BUS1NTSS DAROUETERS. Thero la no bettor barometer of In dustrial and business conditions than too bulldtos and kn associations. Thy aro the true banks of the common people, and they prosper or languish In proportion to idleness or employ ment, the receipt of good wages or the tack of them, among tho working peo ple. For that reason It is especially on coumaging to know hat In their reports to tho stato department those institu tions all tell of hotter tlmec. Not only Is the volume of business increasing, but now they are able to make loans, where a year or six months ago few ot tlhera could meet their withdrawals. There could be no moro sure Indication of returning prosperity, and the offi cials of the state building and loan de partment naturally are highly gratified. I1KWARK OIP PVMUCQNFiniSNCK.
