gignificuDee.

The race for Governor of Ohio is
tl ,l.c made with the hope that the
defeat suffered last fall in that State

Ter} - man that caused it.
Ohio as a rule goes republican for
Governor, but of late years the tide
[us turned, and democracy seems to
beiLe choice of the people.
Tim race for Governor between
jIcKh.'ey and the democratic norm
E ec will be interesting and hotly
contested. It is a plain submission
0 I die question whether or not the
citizens of Onio will endorse by their
ballots the McKinley tariff bill.
Itis firmly maintained by demo-
colic organs that they will not adopt
such a course. It is a fight of the
monoiohst and the rich against the
laborer and the poor.
The farmers and mechanics of
Ohio have long since learned that
protective tariff means less money
soil harder limes to them, and they
have now reached the point where
they have the courage to speak out
their convictions.

THE SCHOOLBOOK QUESTION.
For the Sunday Banner.
He who is truly wise will observe the
conventional to a certain extent. It i
folly to imagine that one person can set at
defiance rules that society has made like
the laws of the Medes and Persians.
We Americans think the rules of for
eign countries very severe and absurd
sometimes, and doubtless they are to us
because of our reputed greater freedom,-
a freedom in many ways tar exceeding
that of any known country. We smile in
pity over the feet of the Chinese woman
thinking them deformed, whereas the
almond-eyed lady considers them bcauti-
tiful. We sigh for the French girls im-
mur. d in convent walls; nnd for the Eas
tern beauties condemned to go veiled and
dominoed through the streets; we feel re
lieved not to have to back from royalty
too often, and thank God generally that
we are not t-s other men, but a grand, free
republic, where thought and action are
untrammelled. But stop.
In one of our late magazines is related
the incident of a young lady recognizing a
a coachman on the box of a private ca r-
rioge, as one wbo had served her family in
:-imil&r capacity and been much liked.
She nodded and smiled at him, and was
much surprised to receive ino recognition

It is A Living, Growing, Question of
the Hour,
A few days ago i wrote au article for the
Banner, in which i stated that the North
ern Histories adopted as text books by
maiiy of the Boards of Education in our
nblic schools, term Jhe late war the re-
llion, and call those Southern people
who participatedln it rebels and traitors,
guilty of treason, &c. In this article, I
propose to prove that we were no such
thing, but on the contrary, the Northern
people who forced us to fight, are and
were, the rebels and traitors. Who are
rebels and traitors in a political sense, for
this is the light under which we must view
this question. I reply, it is those who dis
regard the constitution of their country,
who seek to overthrow it or any part
thereof ; in other words, to render it null
add void. I claim that the abolitionists
North did it. Now for the proof.
It is well known to all readers of United
States histories that in 1850, California ap
plied for admission into the union as a
non-slaveholding state. The abolitionists
favored it, the democrats opposed it, for
the reason that a portion of the territory
was soutb cf the Missouri Compromise
line, namely 36 deg. 30 min. After much
angry debate and delay, when war between
these parties seemed inevitable, Mr. Dou
glass introduced the Omnibus Bill, which
amongst other things, provided for the ad
mission of it as a State, and aho to. more
effectually carry out the provisions of the
Constitution in regard to the rendition of
fugitive slaves. By this compromise the

THE PROHIBITION RALLY.

on Northern soil. The bill thus passed,
but what was the consequence ? Did they
pass acts in their several states as they
promised ? No, instead of so doing, every
one both North and West, with few ex

fense of the gravest character, for any on<-

thus not only violating a solemn pledge,
but also setting at naught a plain provision
of the Constitution which they as congress

Furthermore, they trampled copies of that

made bonfires of them. But not satisfied

It Is Hard to Waste It
Some advertisers have an idea that

For ovamplA, suppose a journal has 25,

paper goes regularly. Suppose it prints
5,000 extra copies a week, which are sent
much as question with himself tbe propri

vcntional clothes.”
Was the latter not right I do beseech
you, sister women, to rise above the level
of that convt-btional young woman. How
pitilul, how infinitesimal was her brain !
| just big enough to get in the idea of a strict
ubedieuce to conventionality; it could not
stretch further or cover more ground,—
could not roaeb out a generous thought to
cover the sin unpardonable of a man eat
ing with bis knife, or the giving of a smile
aud kind w< rd to a shop-girl.
The subject is too wide and deep to be
discussed here, but just this word. While
I would not have you eutertnin any opin

bulletin Na 73 Professor A. J. Cook, of
the Michigan station, gives tho follow
ing formula for its preparation, which is
one he has recommended and used for
years: Dissolve in two quarts of water
one quart of soft soap or one-fourth
pound of hard 6oap by beating to the
boiling point, then add one pint of kero
sene oil and stir it violently. This is
best done by pumping the liquid into
itself through a small nozzle, so that it
shall be thoroughly agitated. This, he
claims, mixes the oil permanently so
that it will never separate, and it can be
diluted easily at pleasure by simply
shaking or slightly stirring after adding
the water to dilate it When ready to
use stir in enough water to make fifteen
pints in all—that is, one-fifteenth of the
liquid applied would be kerosene oil

gallons of kerosene are added and im

OF
HOW THE WHEELS OF THE AD-
MINISTRATION ARE ROLLING.
THE IDEA INDORSED. REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
The mid summer festival is the thing.
Juiy 16th is the day aud a great day
will be. ^
There will be thousands of farmers
here from tbe country for miles around
who will come to the Alliance rally,
and to see the grand pageant which
will grace tbe streets on that day.
They will bring their wives and chil
dren and together with the recple from
the towns around Athens will consti
tute a larger crowd than Athens has
ever before seen within her gates.
The idea is a good one, and has re
ceived the indorsement of | numbers of
the Athenian merchants and business
men who have the progress and upbuild
ing of the city at heart.
Several of them were interviewed on
yesterday and all say thbl without
doubt the plan is the best one that has
been suggested in a long time for adver
tising tbe city and showing up its re
sources. — /■
And this is not all. The interest
which exists between city and country
a close one, and the combination of
these two events will strengthen tbe
tie.
The citizens of Athens are thorough
ly in sympathy with the farting class,
and any idea to the contrary is
thoroughly erroneous. Several prom
inent citizens declared on yesterday
that this opportunity of showing the
farmers that there is a common inter
est between them and us should not be
allowed to pass without making the
most of it-
Nothing does more good for a grow
ing city, than an event which will
bring crowds of people within itsgates-
even though they remain but for a day.
■Vhen Athens progress and improve
ment is brought so directly under the
attention of this crowd, some advan-
vantage to tbe town cannot fail to come
about.
Said a prominent citizen on yester
day, in speaking of Mr. Brown’s views
of tbe matter:

made all of bis
arrangements to
attend the Ohio
republican con
vention as tbe chief representative of
tbe administration and manager of the
Sherman Sensational side show. It
was on the cards for him to have se"
cured the passage of a resolution en
dorsing the administration, so worded
as to practically commit the convention
to Harrison for ’92, thus shutting onr
Ohio’s “favorite son”—McKinley—who
if he can be elected govornor fully ia-
tends entering the lists against Harrison
or anybody else that may appear. And
in addition to that, Senator Sherman
expected his assistance in the passage
of a resolution that would have placed
Sherman astride the shoulders of Mc
Kinley.

sent him word by a trusty personal
messenger not to oome ( and his pres
ence would only intimidate tbe Foraker
men who bad obtained oontrol of the
convention. It was then suddenly dis
covered that the business of the depart
ment was so pressing that Secretary
Foster would be compelled to defer hia
intended visit to Ohio to look after somo
private business until Thursday, and
was so announced to tbe “dear public”
which is always assumed to be gullible
enough to believe anything it is told, if
the teller be an official; but at the
Treasury department they know better;
they know that Mr. Foster’s grip sack
was all packed and all arrangements
made for his trip when he received a
telegram telling him not to come, and
that an explanation had been sent to
him by messenger, and they know that
when that messenger arrived tbe next
day he was for two mortal hours closet
ed with Mr. Foster in his private office,
to tbe exclusion of everybody even his
private and confidential stenographer.

Several citizens will confer with
Mayor Brown at an early date, and
a definite time will be decided upon to
hold an important meeting to consider
the matter of trade’s display.
The G. C. & N. too will be here, and
will probably bring over a large crowd
on the occasion.

John Duty, a well-to-do and prominent
farmer, shot his mother-in-law in the

was this combination that farced ex-rep
resentative Grosvenor to resign his re
cent appointment as chairman of the
Treasury commission which is to make
a delightful summer tour of Europe for
the alleged purpose of investigating im
migration. There has been a more or
less bitter feeling between Foraker and
Grosvenor ever since the congressional
investigation ot the ballot box forgeries
last year.
Democratic prospects for next year
are certainly very encouraging as seen
through the eyes of visitors to Wash

Michigan and Wisconsin is no longer

I was told to-day that Commissioner
of Pensions Raum, with the assistance
of the pension attorneys, had made
himself solid with the administration,
and that in consideration of he and the
pension attorneys having agreed to
swing the G. A. R. into line for Harri
son that gentleman had agreed to for-
t all the damaging charges that ho
d been brought against Raum and al
low him to continue in charge of the
Pension Office. This deal gives Mr.
Harrison the active support of theNa- *
tional Tribune, Lemon’s paper, and
also of a new soldiers paper which ia to
be started at Chicago by the pension
ring. If true, it may in the end turn...
out to be dearly bought support.
Ex-Congressman Grosvenor haBbcen
ppointed a special World’s Fair Com
missioner in charge of foreign exhibits,
as a salve for being off the immigration
commission. As the salary is the same
and both places include a trip to Europe
at Uncle Sam’s expense Grosvenor isn’t
shedding many tears.

NOT THE RIGHT WORD.
‘No” said Bertha sadly, “ ‘pain’
doesn’t express what I suffer at these
times—itis simply ‘anguish!’ Iknow
I ought to consult a physican, but I
dread it so! 1 can’t bring myself to do
it. Then, too, ‘female diseases’ always
seemed so indelicate to me, 1 can’t bear
to have any one know or speak of
mine.”
“Yes, dear,” answered Edith, “but
don’t you know you can be cured with
out going to a physician? Send to any
druggist for a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription, and take it, and I
warrant you’ll feel better in a very few
days.”
The manufacturers warrant the medi
cine, too. They guarantee it to do ex
