By a recent enactment of the North Carolina
legislature, 100,000 negroes of that state are pract
ically disfranchised. This may work a great deal
of trouble before it is brought up against the con
stitution of the United States and knocked out, as
it certainly will be; but in the meantime many of
those smart fellows who worked this iniquity, will
be howling about the course of the administration in
"depriving of their liberty" a few thousands of
heathen Fillipinos. Verily, "consistency, thou art
a jewel."
WEDNESDAY,: APRIL 6, 1899.
Wb suppose Mayor McKisson of Cleveland can
comfort himself with the reflection that the "good
die young."
The people of Cleveland now have the promise
from Mayor-elect Farley, of something seldom seen
on this mundane sphere, viz., a democratic business
administration.
Aguinaldo probably intends to make a few
century runs eastwardly and get around to capture
Manila from the "blind side." He may imagine
there is nobody on guard.
Thb Filipinos are now doing to perfection the
act of a certain Irish soldier durintr the war of the
rebellion, who said that if he should get into
tight place he would advance backward until the
coast was clear.
Thb present sad and mournful condition of the
roads will be measurably forgotten in a few days
when we see the street sprinkler going up and
down our streets. We forget our former adversity
when prosperity comes.
A manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind., has agreed
to pay into the village treasury as much money as
the tnwti would receive from the saloons, it the
town will vote out the saloons. This we under
stand has been done with satisfactory results.
A good way to prevent legislative senatorial
deadlocks is to amend the constitution so that the
feoph may do that little business of electing Sena
tors, bv votine- for them on the same ballot sheet
1 - j o
on which they vote for Congressmen. Try it
Thb probable effect of Bryan's recent letter to
Perry Belmont will be to emphasize the coolness al
ready existing between the gold wing and the silver
wine of the party, and tend to widen the gulf be
tween them until it broadens into disaster to the
entire out-fit next year. We give them fair warn-
intr. but some folks will be headstrone in spite of
all you may say.
Thb claims for spoliation of property belonging
,to son-combatants in Cuba, during the late war,
.are assuming enormous proportions already, and
the music has only just begun. Uncle Sam is get
ting to be quite prodigal of his spending money
but we opine that many of these claims will suffer
the fate of the bulk of spring poetry and be con
; signed to the waste basket.

Oh of th. Bravest Deeds of the War
Lieutenant Hobson Sinking the Marrl
ma was Haraic But Only On of Many
Instance of Heroism.
According to Attorney General Griggs, the
gigantic trusts which have formed and are now
forming throughout the country are not under jur
isdiction of the federal courts, except in instances
where they interfere with interstate commerce. He
gives it as his opinion that state legislatures can
deal with them most effectually. If this true, it
would be a wise plan for the legislative bodies of
the various states to look after the matter this
winter, while they have nothing else to do. We
mention this matter because the combinations of
capital are becoming very annoying to small manu
facturers, who have a right to "life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness."
ON GOOD ROADS.
Catechism adapted to conditions in Lorain county
on the good roads question.
Q. What class of people would be most benefi
ted by good roads?
A. The farmers.
Q. Why would the farmers be benefited more
than other people?
A. Because they make more use of the roads
than other people.
Q. If bonds were issued to raise money to build
roads, what proportion of the expense would
have to be paid by the farmers?
A. Less than one half, because the taxable
property of Lorain county is about $20,000,
000, and more than half of this amount is in
side of city and villaee corporations, which
are obliged to build their own roads.
Q. Then why should the farmers "kick," and
claim that it is a scheme of town people to
oppress the farmers.?
A. There is no reason why tiny should, uiless
they are misinformed as to the real situation.
The towns provide their own roads, within
their corporate limits, and besides would pay
more than half the cost of good roads
throughout the county.
Then is there any reasonable ground for ob-
jecting by farmers to an issue of county
bonds for such purposes?
None whatever.
When Lieutenant Hobson and his men
wnk the Merrlmnc in the channel of
Santiago Harbor, the deed wasalmrwt
everywhere hailed as the bravest of the
war. This was as It should have been,
but to our mind a deed equally brave
was that represented la our Illustration
taken from the current issue of Harper's
Magazine, "Catting the Cables at Cien-
fuegos." The Illustration was drawn by
R. F. Zogbaum for the third part of the
'History of the Spanish-American War,"
by the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator
from Massachusetts, who In this Instal
ment of a most notable history dlscm
"The Blockade of Cuba and the Pursuit
of Cervera," gives an admirable descrip
tion from an historical point of view, of
the operations arnnnd San Juan, of Ouan
tananio Bay, of the bottling np of Or-
vera's fleet, and of Hobson and the
Merrimac.
The gallant work of the men who nnder
a galling Ore en the cables at Cienfiirv
gos has been in the main lost sight of by
reason of the mire Important and decis
ive battles, brief resume of it will
certainly not be out of place.

Hudson, and the Wilmington' were hav

Q-
In adjusting Cuban affairs, Uncle Sam was wise
enough to promise to deal with the people only.
This supercedes any recognition of governmental
"authority on the island, such as the debating
society, which,., recently deposed Gomez "in their
minds." Uncle Sam will attend strictly to his bus
iness in Cuba, and will do it according to contract,
and will have the co-operation of every sensible
Cuban.
v Wb learn from Youngstown, one of the bright
est cities in Ohio, that a steel firm there are in
need of 250 more men than they already have, and
- are as yet unable to get them. All the available
menuJufowa who want to work have been
secured. We also learn that similiar conditions
prevail , elsewhere. This is on the principle of
' the office seeking the man" in a way with which we
t are heartily in accord.
W. J. Bryan's explanation of his refusal to
accept the invitation of Perry Belmont to dine with
him and make a speech, has the merit of frank
ness to say the least We sincerely hope that the
. democracy will not get into a family row before the
time for their national convention, as it might en
danger their chances before the people and make
themselves appear ridiculous in the eyes of well,
say the republican party.
Thb United States is ever to the front. On
the commission of arbitration to settle differences
between Great Britian and Venezuela, have been
appointed Justices Fuller and Brewer of the Su
preme Court This commission will convene in
Paris in May and will continue in session doubtless
about six months. Besides these noted jurists,
Ex-President Harrison and Ex-Secretary of the
navy, Tracy are principal counsel for Venezeula in
the contention.
JOHN BROWN AND HIS PERSONALITY.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson's "Cheerful
Yesterdays, a book ot delightful reminiscences,
has this concerning the impression made by Mr.
Brown in an interview by appointment in Boston,
March 1858.
"I saw "before me a man, whose mere appearance
and bearing refuted in advance some of the strange
perversions, which have found their way into many
books, and which have often wholly missed the
type to which he belonged. In his thin, worn,
resolute face there were the sigTis of fire which
might wear him out, and practically did so, but
nothing of pettiness or baseness; and his talk was
calm, persuasive, and coherent. He was simply a
high-minded, unselfish, belated Covenanter; a man
whom Sir Walter Scott might have drawn, but
whom Nicolay and Hay, for instance have utterly
failed to delineate.
To describe him in their words "clean but
coarse" is coarse; is curiously wide of the mark; he
had no more of coarseness than was to be found in
Habakkuk Muckelwrath or in George Eliot's
Adam Bede; he had, on the contrary, that religious
elevation which is itself a kind of refinement, the
quality one may see expressed in many a venerable
Quaker face at yearly meeting.
Coarseness absolutely repelled him: he had little
humor, and none of the humorist's temptation
towards questionable conversation.
Again to call him "ambitious to irritation" in
the words of the same authors, is equally wide of
the mark. I never could find in him a trace of
ambition."
He had been a surveyor and knew the Alleghenies
like a book. He would have liberated slaves in
families and groups by paths familiar to him
All this he explained to Mr. Higginson and others
plainly and calmly and there was nothing in it that
we his friends in Boston, Theodore Parker, Dr,
Howe, Stearns Sanborn and myself considered
either objectionable or impracticable. m. h. h
Thb Sunday-school workers and Christian peo
ple of Marion, Ohio, are planning largely for the
40th Annual Convention of the Ohio State Sunday
school Association to be held there during the week
of June 5th. Each county is entitled to a represen
tation consisting of its county association officers
and ten chosen delegates. This state association is
interdenominational, helpful to us all. It is the
organized Sunday-schoool force of the state. It
directly organizes no individual schools, but it
organizes the Sunday-school hosts of counties and
townships, and through conventions brings them
in touch with the most practical and advanced
methods and teaching. The Ohio Sunday-school
Worker, of Toledo edited by Marion Lawrence,
General Secretary is the official paper of the state
association. .

fight was taking place, lu the progress
of the work of separating th great
Inland from the rest of the world. On
the night ot May 10, Captain McCalla of
the Marblchead called for volunteers to
pro ectlhe cable-cutters tn their work.
The roll was anop filled, and the pext
morning' the Steam-launches ot the Mar
blehead and Nashville, towing the two
sailing -launches' nnder command of
Lieutenants VYIiibIow and Anderson,
started Into the harbor ot Clenfuegos
about quarter before seven. They car
ried a squad of marines picked for pro
ficiency as marksmen, and a machine
gun in the bow of each boat. The Nash
ville and Marblehead then opened fire on
.he Spanish batteries, and nnder cover of
his, and that of the steam launches, the
crews of the other boats went to work.
It was a erllous business, bnt the sail-
rs grapnel and cut successfully the
two cables they had been ordered to de
stroy. They also found a small cable,
but the grapnel fouled the bottom and
was lost. Meantime the Spanish fire
grew hotter and hotter, pouring ont
rrm the batteries and machine-guns.
and the boats began to suffer. The well-
ilrected fire from the rifles of the
murines and from the 1-poiinders kept
i he Spaniards tr m reaching the switch
house which controlled the sub-marine
torpedoes, bnt hunches could not eon
tend with batteries at close range, and
when the work for which they came,
and which had all been performed nnder
a heavy fire, was done, they withdrew to
the ships. Nlue men, Including Lieu
tenant Wlnslow, had been wounded,
wme seriously, and three as was report
ed later, mortally. It was a very sal
lant exploit, cooly and thoroughly car
ried through, under galling fire, and It

Save Your Silver!
Ordinarily, good silverware should last a lifetime, and hold
its original brilliancy quite as long, providing the right mater,
ial is naed in cleaning and polishing.
IMPERIAL SILVER POLISH
is the most economical polish made as well as the most effic
ient; it saves silverware because it cleans easily. It does not
require muscular exertion to produoe a lustre; its effect on
silver is similar to a fine toilet soap on the hands leaves the
eurfaoe in its natural condition: clean and highly polished; just
as it comes from the factory.
Polishes that necessitate hard rubbing will gradually wear
away the delicate surface of silverware, and will in time destroy
the brillianoy imparted by the burnisher.
