WASHINGTON LETTER, from our Eegultr Corretpondent The republicans claim of a walk-over in 'Ohio this fall, has been a hollow pretense from the first and it has grown hollower ever since t he demo?ratN nominated Hon. John R. McLean for Govern oiCIt will not be denied that Mr. McKinlej knows Ohio politics thoroughly. It ie sig nificant, therefore, that the first thing he did, after his re turn tc Washington, was to hold a conference with sever al Ohio republicans, and thac one of the results of that con ferenci was a cablegram to Bops Hanna, telling him to hurry home from Europe, in order to take charge of the campaign of his ticket. Mr. MeKinley regards Mr: Me Lean as a "strong and dan gerous candidate and he known if Ohio goes democrat ic this year it will give such a boom to the already rapid ly brightening democratic prospects that the election of a democratic President will become well nigh a cer tainty. He is determined to prevent this if he can possi bly do so, and in addition to JJanna's methods, which will be worked to the limit, the whole power of the adminis tration will be used to help Hauna's ticket. Although Mr. MeKinley on ly lemained iu Washington from Satuiday afternoon un til to-day, when he went to Philadelphia to attend the G. A. R. encampment, where he hopes to put in some good political licks, and incidental ly to prevent a fight, being made upon the present man agement cf the Pension Bu reau by the old soldiers, he had time to find some of the capitalists, who, for purely selfish reasons, are trying to ret the government' to mix tself up in the revolution in Santo Domingo, by declar ing a protectorate over the most turbulent and bellige rent mob of . "niggers" ever known to exist in any por tion of the world. With all his anxiety to please these capitalists, it is not believed that Mr. MeKinley will dare to do what they wish him to do. He has troubles enough now, without hunting' for new ones. The Sampson clique in the Navy Department, which has been able to "keep Sampson in command of the North At lantic Sqnudron, whenft ther officers were entitled to that honor, will have him ordered to shore duty, alter the Dew ey -reception, -in NTew York, and it will also endeavorto prevent the arrival of Aimi rarilowaeon, who is Samp son's senior officer, in New York, whither he is bound from the South Atlantic, on the cruiaer Chicego, in time to participate in the Dewey ceremonies. N'o t satisfied with having done so much for Sampson, the cliqno ia still working to prevent Sclhey getting an important command, although he is clearlj entitled to the sea du ty asked for many months ago. There are three men el igible to succeed Sampson as commander of the North At lantic Squadron Schley. Re mey and Earquar but if the clique are'successful, as now neems likely, Schley's name may be considered out of it. General Fitz Lee gave the War Department a little more than it expected when it asked him and the other Department Commanders in Cuba, to make reports on the condition of affairs under their jurisdiction, by adding the following recommenda tions to his report: 4That a census of the island be taken as soon as possible; that the question becarelully consid ered and a decision ' reached regulating the same; that a modern system of jurispru dence be introduced, so that elective offlceis can be voted for; that a general election be ordered for a President for Chief Magistrate, a Vice Pres ident, a Congress or legisla ture, to consist of two branch es, and all other .)tticeis of a republic, as well as municipal elections; all of which can be determined regulated, and prescribed bv a convention composed of delegates in prop er proportions fromthediffer ent provinces, which shaU meet as soon after thecensus is taken, as possible. In this way the pledged faith of the United States Government to Cuba can be kept." Orders were given in the War De partment to suppress this re port, but somehow it got out. In view of his close person al relations with Mr. MeKin ley, the statement in a report made to the War Depart ment oy Gen. Leonard Wood that the Military control of Cuba will have to continue for a long time, is regarded as significant. That eort of opinions from ouc officers will be made to justify an in definite military occupation of the island, notwithstand ing present talk . of mu nicipal elections over there, in the spring, if the people of this country do not compel different action on the part of the administration. The administration is crow ing loudly because the Au gust financial statement shows a surplus of a little more than four million dol lars, but it is not calling any body's attention to the fuct that more than three millions of that surplus came from the sale of the old custom house site in New York city; nor to theconiparativesmall ness of some of the regular governments for that month. There, is nothing in the pres ent state of government fi nances to do any crowing over. There is bound to bn another big defhrit at the close of this fiscal year, just as there was at the close of the last. A surplus in several months of. the year will not effect 4he general result, and nobody knows that any bet ter than Secretary Ooge. The-pain ft? a burn or scald is almost instantly relieved by applying Chamberlain's Pain aim. It also heals the injured parts more quickly than any other treatment, and without the burn is very severe it will not leave a ecar. For sale by druggists. FOBCEOF INFLUENCE. Communicated. Men, young and old, but especially the young, cannot help imitating those with whom they associate. Just as our bodies take noarishment suitable from the meat on which we a re fed, so do our souls take evil or good according to the exam ple or conversation ol those around us. Men are by na tuie imitaters, and it is im possible'for lib to resist the powerful influence our associ ates have over us by their speech, their manner and by their example. Is influence nothing? I tell you it is the school o? man kind and they will be taught at no other. Emerson tells us that even old persons who have hyed together for years growgrad ually so like each other that if they were to live long en ough we could scarcely tell them apart. Tho force of in fluence is so strong thateach gradually observes the man ners ana ai tions into their own natures and lives; Now if this be true of the old, how much more true is it of the young, whose natures are so plastic and soft that it is ea sy to impress upon them the speech, manner and conver sation of those arouud them. Do you realize the powerful influence your parents, broth ers and sisters have over your lives? Do you uot know that Irom the time you were a helpless babe in your moth er's arms to the time you Itft that parental roof, that y o u were a bsor bi n g i n to y ou r nature and life the very ac tions, speech, and almost the verv expression of the face of that mother, and not only that, but the influence of that mother is so strong in your life that long after she is dead and forgotten by oth ers, the influence of her life still shows in jour life. So parents should under stand as it is the nature of children to imitate tho exam pie set before them, how im portant it is then that they set 6iich an example before them as will .have sue!) pow er and influence over them that they may grow up into men and women of noble character and powerful mflu n nee over those with whom they associate. As it is our nature to imitate those a- round us, then how careful we should bo m the selection of the company that we keep. It is a common saying that a man is known by the com pany he keeps. The sober do not wish to associate with the drunkard or the refined with the coarse; the decent with the indecent; the educa ted with the ignorant. If we associate with those above us it has a tendency to ele vate us to a higher plane of life. If, on the other hand, we keep company with the low and the degraded the power is just as strong to pull us down to their level as he other is to elevate us. Communication and associa tion with the good produces good. A good character is diffusive in its influence, great in the power of goodness to charm and command. The man poasessing it is n true man, drawing men afterbiin. The very sight of a great and good man is often an inspira tion to the young, who can not help loving, and admir ing the brave and the truth ful. Even a portrait of a good and noble man hung up in a room is an inspiration to those who are acquainted with the character, and gives us a closer personal interest in him. Looking at the fea tures we feel that we knew him better and were more closely related to him. It seems to be a link connecting us with a higher and nobler character than our own. Al though we may never reach the standard of our hero, it will help to inspire us to u higher and nobler life. A gentle nature has a pow erful influence over tho 'char acters of others for good. Wardsworth, in speaking of the gentle nature of his sis ter and of the infiuonce she had over his life, gives it in thene lines: "Shegave me last and humble cares, and deli cate fears; a heart, the foun tain of sweet tears, and love, and thought and joy." Thus we see the gentlerlnaturosare enabled by the power of uffec tion and intelligence to mould the characters of men who are destined to influence and elevate their race. If you will telj me what you most admire, I will tell you what you are, says one wri ter, and this is very easy to do, for if you love a mean, low and unmanly nnture it shows that your own nature is low and mean. If you have a gentle, braye and kind- na tuie, you are gentle, brave and kind, and whateveryour nature may be you will show it by your associations. Girls, do you realize tho in fluence you have oyer those with whom you associate? Are you staining your char acter and influencing others to follow your example by keeping company with young men of questionable charac ters? If you are, you slunvby your actions that you sanc tion their course ir life and you influence them and oth ers by your example to go deeper and deeper into siu and vice. So, young ladies, look wf'll to the conduct and example ol your lives. What you may term as pretty and harmless actions in your conduct, may by their infl influence ruin some noble j'oung life. Young men, be honest, be brave, honest and true. Live a life of such good and noble example that your influence may live and grow long after you yourself are dead and for gotten. Such is the forco of influence. H. C. I.NGKAM. Shul Is Mills, N. C. Are prepared Jxom Na ture's mild laxatives, and while gentle are reliable and efficient.

AS4 But Tne Story, i Here is a story taken from one of our exchanges and there is a companion story to it with various shadings, in every community through out the land. Itis-'ft storv brimful of sorrow, disgrace and ruin and rank injustice. "A woman barefooted, hun gry and footsore walked through a certain ' wn re cently looking for a p o o v house. She once was the hope and pride of a happy home, a reigning . society queen, a leader in church and Sunday school work. Men adored her, women envied her, butallren dered her homage. Beautiful, refined and accomplished, pure and spotless. But the sunshine went out of her, life, the shadows came, she trust ed ia man's honornd in a moment of weakness she fell. The proud woman be came a social outcast, a wea ry homelwss wanderer, Lifo has no charms for 'her. The poor house is her only refuge. As she knocks at the door the author of her degreda tion leads to the altar a spot less bride, amid the congrat ulations of those whodenoun cod the poor victim and made her an outcast. Orange blos soms, boquts and houors for tho man, degredation and tears for the woman, ne is applauded, but she is lost. for ever, This is the story, and how just and sensible are the com raents of the Durham Sun on that story. It says: "It comes to our mind that there is retributive justice a waiting these cases. Methinks in the great hereafter she will wear robes of spotless white, for Ue who forgave Mary Magd alone, will forgive her is 8ho repent of her sins and plead her cause at the throne of grae while hea betrayer will roast in hell and the unforgiving will bo judged according as they juged her." We wish that every news paper, every pulpit and ev ery advocate of morality and justice would lash the betray or of woman into disgrace and put him to the open shame he so richly deserves.
