The Ohio Csmpsifs ZS Persons Indicted and None tried A Mine of Rottea ess la the Postofflce Depart ment Col Wattersoa Says the Senate waa Bought Like Sheep la the Shambles. Washington, October 12th 1903, It comes to this political nerve center in a pretty straight line from tne Ulno hustings, that the repub lican claims that they will have over one hundred thousand majority in the election to be held in that state in November, is a game of rank bluff, There are unmistakable signs of alarm over there since Hanna was trapped into defending his ship sub sidy scheme that would cost the people of this country $10,000,000 a year and benellt solely a snipping trust in the East In order to make his little gift enterprise apply to the state of Ohio, Hanna used what would, at first blush, appear a cogent argument, to wit, that shipping on the lake and all trade had increase! wonderfully in the past few years. With childlike innocence in all mat ters that do not appertain to his own pocket book, Hanna forgot that no provision of his ship subsidy scheme related in the slightest degree to the lake vessels. All the conceded de velopment of traffic on these vast inland waterways cost the United States Treasury not one cent None of the interests engaged in it ask any share in Mr. Hanua's generosity with the money or the people that he intends to give to the eastern shipbuilding trust The farmers of Ohio have been asking questions about this matter and have begun to do some thinking for themselves. In consequence thereof the republican. leauera nave requereu iur. nm, w either revise his subsidy argument or else shunt it off the boards during the remainder of the campaign. The outlook for defeating Hanna for the Senatorship is growing better every day, and altogether things are not as lovely for the republicans in Ohio as they could wish. One spellbinder, whom Chairman Dick honed to have on the stttmn over in Ohio has flatly refused to take part in the campaign for the re election of Hanna. Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico, says he was shocked by the action of Hanna on the floor of the Senate last January when he repudiated the republican platform promise to the territories, and that he cannot conscientiously take part in his re-election. If that were the only platform promise the republi can party has ever repudiated, that party would still be entitled to tne distinguished consideration of the people, but the platfoim promise concerning the territories is only one little venial sin compared to the mountain of iniquity justly charge able to the republican party. The republican national platform not only promised statehood to the ter ritories, and then went buck on the promise, but it also promised recip rocity not only with Cuba, but with other countries. The reciprocity treaties negotiated by McKiuley have never been ratified. And yet the protective duties of the Dingley bill were purposely so high that the con cession mode to foreign countries under the treaties negotiated would still leave ample protection for the trusts. But the trusts demanded all the swag that the tariff bill gave them, and their influence with the republican congress was sufficient to prevent the ratification of the recip rocity treaties. The promise in the republican platform to favor legis lation that would prevent monopolies "to limit production or to control prices, has not been redeemed and never will be until the republican nartv and its n resent leaders are re tired from business, for the trusts and monopolies furnish their bread of life campaign funds. The promises of the republican platform to labor have not been redeemed. The republican platform declared, "we are in favor of a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign countries." That this promise has not been kept is plain to every man on earth from the fact that the present immigra tion exceeds that of any other year in the history of the country. It is quite nn necessary to go on piling up instances of republican platform promises repudiated. The above are amply sumcient to snow that the republican platforms are like those of the passenger coach, made to go in on and not to stand on. Redeemed republican platform promise! are the exception and not the rule, republican promises are made only to fool the people. How much longer will the people be fooled? Up to date there have been twenty- eight persons indicted bv various grand juries for complicity in the t rands and speculations in the Post Office Department, but not one has. so far, been brought to trial, and the chances are not on of the indicted will be as vigorously prosecuted as he deserves or be convicted in the end. The distinguished politician who presides over the fost Uflice Department seems to think that his mill has ground exceeding fine and that he has fine mass of rotten mill stuff to present to the people of the country aa the result of the labors of his inspectors. He is now congratu lating himself and the country that the end has been reached and that the official reports will soon be forth coming; at least they will soon be in the hands of the President, who will give them to the public if he sees fit to do so, and if be does not the peo ple cau go to , and there yon are. As I said above, not one mun lins been brought to trial, and if the United btates Courts keep up the record they are making none of thorn will ever brought to trial or convict ed after they are brought to the bur ot justice. Heavers is lighting like a Turk over in New York to keep from being tried, and the court is helping him. It not only has post poned his trial several times at the luaugauon 01 ins cuuubei, out it una summoned the United States District Attorney to come in and show cause why he should net be sentenced for contempt of court lor refusing some plea set up by the Beavers, ihe courts seem to be fighting for the accused grafters, and if things keep on as tbey now are going not one of the gang of theives will be convict ed. The republicans here are con gratulating themselves and one an other that the end of the investiga tion is in sight and that the atten tion of the country will soon be taken off their misdeeds by the assembling of Congress. The end of the investi gation is in sight because they want it to d ana not Because mere is not plenty more things to investigate if they wanted to. They have only scraped the surface in the Post Office Department They have not touch ed the bureau where the mail con tracts are made with the railroads for carrying the mails. There is a perfect aiime ot rotten ness to be unearthed in those con tracts if they would go after them, but they will not do so. The are sick and tired of the whole business and are anxious to hush it up as soon as possible, If there is a Con gressional investigation next wintei look eut for snags in that bureau. Somebody is going to be hung up on them. For, notwithstanding the fact that a republican investigation is very much like a man looking for something nasty in the dark look- for u but fa h wiU 1)ot itthe democrits are going to di for k Theie is considerable comment here over the charges recently made by Col Henry Watterson, in the Louisville "Courier-Journal, that the reason the Panama Canal bill was allowed to take the place of the House bill, which declared for the Nicaragua Canal, was that the Sen ate was corrupted, bought like sheep in the Bbambles. There is no doubt in the minds of people here who have been watching the game from start to finish that the charges of Col. Watterson are correct He has the ight sow by the ear, but he does not explain the details of how she was caught The Senators who were prominent in their advocacy ot tne Panama route were not brought out right The Panama people had no money to buy anything. If steam boats'had been selling for five cents apiece they could not have bought a canoe paddle. They worked their game, however, and they worked it well. I have been informed by a man who is the highest authority and who is way on the inside that the game was to give some of these Senators an option on the bonds of the ranama uanal Company at a very low figure, the lxmds having be come practicaly worthless, and then when the deal to sell the ranuma Canal to this government went through thev would realize a splen did profit It could have been work ed in no other way. They could not have agreed to give so much money in cash to the men who engineered the deal, because the money would all have been in the hands of the court after this government paid it over. The court was supposed to pav off certain debts that took pre cedence over any others, the remain der to go to the holders of the bonds. That's why the bonds were worth so little before the game was worked and worth prospectively so much after the deal was consummated. That's the why and the wherefore of the sudden switch on the canal game in the United States. Some men in that body were playing for a stake, and that stake was a bunch of the people's money. Mr. Watterson is right, and if he will only dig a little deeper he will find more pay dirt How do the poepie line tne way tne republican Senate plays battledoor and shuttlecock with their money and their rights as to canal,' CHARLES A.

Mr. Editor: Having traveled over the principal roads in Randolph, uuilford and forsytn counties, i would like to say a word or two to the people of Randolph in praise of your road force nnoer tne manage ment of Cant McKinny. I have frequently passed his force when at work" and noted the amount of "work done in a day and sometimes two and three days. I have also had the opportunity to pass other road forces in this (f orsytn) county anu note the amount of work done in similar time with a larger force, and I must say Capt McKinny beats them out of sight He makes tetter time, better roads with less force and seems to know exactly how to get along. Instead of having dirt thrown from side aircnes wun tne school like some do, he puts all the dirt there with his machine, therebv saving in labor aa well as time, 1 could say much more in favor of our road force, but must close hy saying the Fair opens here to-'ay. As yet there has been but little interest manifested on the part of the com monality in the city here, as the Fair is carried out of the city two miles and only the select ones take a part in the proceedings and results, so i am informed.

Mrs. Ingold Writes nl Her Northern Visit. Editoii Courier: In response to your request that I write something about our trip through the east, I submit the following: We left Grecncastlc, Indiana, on August 21st for Chicago, mid spent a fery pleasant few days there. What impressed us most while in this great city, was its everlasting "hustle and tins does not mean that Chicago is a city of great non- achieving restlessness, but that it is perhaps the greutest market centre and distributing point in the United States. The hustle means some thing. We visited many of the large de partment stores, inclti.liiig Mont gomery Ward's, Seiglo Cooper's, Marshal fields and others. From the top of Montgomery Ward's tower, 370 feet, we took it snap shot of the city, which was somewhat of an undertaking, in view ot the fact that we had to secure a permit in the entrance hall to take the camera to the ower, and then the wind play ed huvoc after we got up. But we got a fair picture any way. As we want out to see tne Chicago University buildings, we passed the home for incurables and saw many of the inmates sitting out on the lawn. A more forlorn looking lot of people it has never been my misfor tune to see. Their countenances told the tale of inward hopelessness. We spent the good part of two days in Lincoln Park, and there 1 saw my first buffalo. I have always had an enormous desire to see and be near a buffalo. There I saw a small herd of them, and I thought of "Kit Carson's lide",the poem I used to know: "While the buffalo come like the surge of the sea, Driven fat by the llame driving fast on us three To right and to left the black buffalo came, A terrible surf on a red sea of flame " And inv admiration almost amounted to reverence us I looked at these terrible shaggy monsters, which hold, by some unknown rea son, such interest ami such mystery for iuc. We might have staved in Chicago a longer time with great profit, but wo felt that the best part of our trip was yet to come, and we felt this moie strongly when we reached the beautiful little city of Niagara Falls, New York. Early one morning us dav began to break we stopped at Falls View, Canada, and as we went to tin; car window I shall never forget the pic ture that met mv eyes, it was Ni agara in her wondrous morning robe of soft, gray mist. I shall never forget it. My heart swelled with 1 know not what there is no name for what 1 felt when first I beheld Niagara. I was filled with some thing that lightened and soothed and lifted me until I was as light as a feather. We went out on the ground and stood a while in the awful stillness of the earlv morning listening to the voice of Niagara in mute rupture, and somehow there was the joy of unity, the going out of something in me to meet the matchless sweet song of Niagara, and I thought of whose voice was like the voice ot many waters, ana l wondered who could fear the voice of Ood. We crossed the river into the beautiful little citv of Niagara Falls, New York. We found our hotel and settled down for a quiet rest before going for our drive to uout Island. We started at one o'clock in the afternoon and came in at six. This gave us an idea of the Falls, and how to see it to tne best advan tage. Then next day we started early, armed with a camera. We walked all the morning, back to tne hotel for dinner, to our tramping again in the afternoon and back at night feeling ten years younger than when -xe started, Niagara having moved our hearts ami made us children." We got many beautiful views of the Falls on this day. It is said Niagara is very hard to photo graph, and so we have good reason to be prouu oi getting preny uiir pictures with only one trial. .Everybody smiles at xsiagara. Everybody is your brother there. Whoever wants to part from his troubles let him go to Niagara. I must repeat the wsrds of William 1). Howells in their wedding lournev: Elsewhere there are age uud sor row and heart-break, but here only youth, faith, rapture." Whoever is sick let him go to Ni agara. It is nature's own sanitarium for the sick ana neipiess oi eurin. The moving waters and the station ary rocks, and green trees Income one great throbbing whole, aud one's own being is lost and lorgotieu ai:u is only a part ot this great master piece of God. At this mingling of one. s sell with nature every in is oi literated, there is the longing to never leave, the almost overpowering desire to leap into the majestic tor rent to be deafened , by the sweet thunder of its music, swept by its wonderful power into the boiling gulf below Dressed in waterproof coat anu trousers we went in under the falls. This is a great sight To see th thundering, quivering mass oi water falling from the heavens awve, as it were, to let the sprav beat upon you until it wets you in spite of the waterproof clothing, makes one wild with excitement, and with the sweet ness of having dared to defy nature ml Miter where sue has prohibited I The walks about Coat Island are said to be unsurpassed in the world for wonder aud beauty, aud Niagara itself is uneiiiialed for grandeur. 1 f I should use all the words I know, i could not express it, because no fi ii niuii language can express wliat (ioil brings to our wondering gaze in t:ie divine workings of nut me "To paint the glories that come and go upon the falling, riislung waters, the artist must dip his brush in the rainbow, and when he has done his best he will not be believed by those who hav not sctn his sub ject with their own eyes." We visited the natural Food Con servatory of N iagara, the home of Shredded Wheat. It is located on Buffalo Avenue, on ten acres of the finest residence portion of the city, and has a frontage of nine hundred feet on the upper Niagara liapids. The main building is four hundred mid sixty-three feet long and sixty six feet wide. The united structure covers an area of fifty-five thousand six hundred and fifty-three square feet. It has a flbor space of five and a-lialf acres; finished in white enamel aud hard wood, the main building is devoted to the manufacturing of shredded whole wheat biscuits. Be sides this there are the grand en trance hull for visitors; general offices for the company; lecture hall seating over one thousand, for enter tainments, lectures, conventions, etc; girls' dining room on tho fifth floor where luncheon is served tree; and the roof -garden, or observatory. To build this mammoth tactorv it took three thousand tons of steel, four million brick, thirty thousand nunes of trlass. ten tons of putty. thirtyive tons of paint, two hun dred ttois of marble, eight hundred and forty-four windows, one million feet of flooring, three hundred miles of electric wire, ono hundred thous and dollars in toilet and bath rooms for employees. Total cost for build ing and equipment was two million dollars. The factory is open to the visiting public during the usual business hours. Approximately they have fifty thousand visitors a year. There are "young men dressed in uniform who" have no other business th-'ii to meet visitors and guide the in through the building, kindly ex plaining every detail. Th' whole wheat is boiled to cook it, and shredded before it is dry to prevent cracking. While g o i n g through this process it is handled in large sheets of cloth, next it is moulded by machinery and placed in the mammoth ovens and baked by electricity. It is then boxed, and sealed by machinery never being handled by naked hands except by clean girls" dressed in hi to to place it in the boxes. 1 shall never be afraid tn-Mi dhivdded wheat biscuit for 1 know it is pure and clean. We also visited the Niagaia Falls Power House. Truly "natures store-house is man's benefactor," and no gift from it renders greater service than the waters of the earth. The work of "harnessing Niagara," one of the notable achievements of engineering skill of the last decade is now an ixcomplished fact. In a district reaching from St. Catharines, Canada, to New York, and through the Tonawandas to Buffalo, substan tially every electric light, street car motor and trolley in use, is now sup plied with energy developed from the Niagara Falls River by the Niagara Falls Power Company. Ten years ago Niagara Falls was a little village but now it has grown to twenty seven thousand inhabitants, and is recognized us the home of the world's largest and most important uses of electricity for manufactures. The Natural Food Company spoken of in the foregoing paragraph uses this power for its motors, its lights and lectiic baking. We were loath to leave Niagara, but we found our time going faster than we had anticipated, and so we took the night train for Albany and arrived there the next morning about four o'clock in a drizzling r a i u. Here we rested a few hours, taking the dttV-lme steamer "Albany at eight o"'clock for New York ciiy. There was a slight rain much of the day, making it hard for us to see plainly the scenery along tne -mosi beautiful River in the world" t h e Hudson. The boat was crowded almost to overflowing with people going buck to the Metropolis nfter meir summer s uuvoi in mv moun tains. But a band stationed on the lower deck played beautifully all day long, making us a joyful trip in spite of crowded quarters. ISew lork s water-iront wore u grim looking aspect as we sailad down historic Hudson, passing in plain view ot Grants tomb at one hundred and twenty second street and stopping at twenty second street landing. It was six o clock wnen we landed and still misting. W e went first to find a room and took u good night's rest. Next morning was Sunday anu biiu inc mist was in the air. We went to morning service at Grace F-piseopal church on tenth and Broadway, and w e heard a good sermon on the text, "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" That afternoon we spent indoors, going out at eight in the evening to the Collegiate church. There we heard another good sermon. At both these churches the music was excellent The following morning the weather had cleared enough for na to start out, and bo we got on a Broadway street car for Buttery Park at tne extreme southern end of New York. From here we inteuded to work up aud we did not recoil when we dis covered that to see New York we must accomplish more of work than of play. For a street car is like an education, it will put yon in jiosition to benefit yourself if you are willing to work little. It drops you at the gate of a magnificent park, and says) go in and partakj1, b"t don't grum ble if it costs you sonic weary limbs and blistered feet. We first took a sweeping v i e w across the harbor from the sea wall, and then started our inland sight seeing with a visit to the Aquarium. The Aquarium is in the old fort that was formerly known as Caslle Clinton built in lmi to detend the city against the British. After wards it became n place of amuse ment and was called Castle Garden It takes an hour to do justice to the Aquarium. There are three thousand living specimens to be seeu In lh floor tanks are seals, sea lious, sturgeon and other monsters of the deep. The wall tanks con tain salt anil fresh water fish. wonderful indeed is the exhibit of Bermuda parrot-fish, nioon-lish, gold fish, iingei-tish and oth'-r specimens of radiant hue. From here we walked up to Bowl mg Green and on to the new build ingof the New York Stock Kxchaiigc in Wall street. From the visitor's gallery we overlooked the busy scene which has its duplicate probably no wgere else in the world. We went ii) Wall street to the United Stales Assay Ollicc, an insignificant look ing struct lire. Here u guide con ducted us to the ponderous refining furnaces, where gold and silver are melted preparatory to being turned into the coin of the government. We saw "gold soup", "gold dust", and "gold bricks" here in plenty, but not a single "gold bug". At Wall and Nassau streets we saw the United States Sub-Treasury, and on the portico the statue of Washington taking the oath of office, the spot being the same where the oath was administeied to him as the first President in 1W). The next thing of more than or ninary interest was Trinity church on Broadway, and Trinity church yard ail joining, where so many fam ous men are buried. We stood at the graves of Alexander Hamilton, Robert Fulton, Captain James Law rence of "Don't Give up the Ship!" renown, and others. After luncheon we went to St. Paul's Chapel. It was built in 17TH, land is the only church edifice re maining from the days of the revo lution, Tiinity having been rebuilt. After Washington's inauguration he and both Houses of Congress pio ceeded to St. Paul's Chapel where services were conducted. We enter ed this church with reveiential awe and stood just inside the doorway, struck with its beauty and its silence. We felt that we were in the presence of tin- great and glorious dead. Then we walked up the left aisle, and midway up, came to Washington's pew marked by the arm of t h e United States 'on the wall. Here we sat down in silence, while our minds went back to the time when the Father of our country attended ser vices here and sat. in "this very suit. And when we left that place we knew that we were better for having been there. A little way lip Park Row we' came to the tallest skyscraper in the woild, the Park Row building, thirty Morics from the ground to the top. We mailed some letters in the massive New York Postollice, and then made our way to the city Hall. We vUiled the Governor's room, where on the walls hang the por traits of many of New York's gov ernors, and on an easel rests a por trait in woven silk of Washington. It took two years to make this por trait and the cost of making was ten thousand dollars. Here also we saw Washington's desk and table, the one lie used while in office. It is a line piece, and remarkably well preserved. From City Hall Park we went to Printing House square. Here we visited inn- of the largest printing houses iu New York in the Pulitzer building and saw some mammoth printing machines. A guide took us to the lower of this building, twenty-three stories. He told of u man who went up for the purpose of committing suicide. He was suc cessful in his purpose and was pick ed up a jelly from the pavement be low. A linost every tower we ascend ed while out on our trip had a tale of attempted if not successful sui cide connected with it. In Printing House square is the Manhattan end of the New York and Brooklyn bridge the great triple suspension that cost fifteen million dollars and thirteen vears of labor to build. There are bridge railways, street curs and carriage ways for transportation across the bridge, besides the elevated walk for pedes trians. We preferred to walk across this famous structure, but w hen we were over and got ready to start back we were glad enough to take a car. We went to our room for a rest before starting for our evenio walk. For to feel that one has seen New York one wants to see Broad way in tne fulsomenesa of its electric blaze. We did not fail to visit the Bow ery, 'though the old bowery days are post. It is fast jecoming a thoroughfare of commercial rather than riotous life. e also ventured into Chinatown a considerable dis tance, until we thought we must be in China sure enough, and then we turned back. We found it a very interesting tour. We spent one whole day in Central Park. Our first stop we made at the Metropolitan Art Museum There one sees the "beauties of art", There bang the works of the mas ters. It is a genuine delight to tne soul to look at such wonderful pic tures. Before going on wo took a view of the Egyptian Obelisk, or CleoDatras needle which stands not far away. The Obelisk is three thousand five bun died years old, it having been creeled near C a l r o, Egypt,, over one thousand live hun dred vears be I ore llirist. In 1877 it was presented the United Slates bv the Khedive of Kgypt. I lie luoval cost one h nulled and two thousand live hundred and seventy nix dollar. wlii. 1 1 ; am William II Yandeibilt paid. On the morning of September second we went to the hite Star Dock to set; the steamship "Teutonic" sail for Liverpool, hnglaml. lsit- ors were not allowed aboard on sail ing day, but hy the kindness of the shipmen we were given privilege to go through the ship just before it sailed, one set. sail in m-m- u uiocn with all classes on board. I here wea- niai.v touching farewells said, and I wept in sympathy with those who helplessly stood on the pier us the gallant vessel slowly went out to sea. On the night of our fifth day in New York we went to Madison Suiiare Garden, the greatest amuse incut building in the world, being four hundred and sixty-five by two hundred feet, and costing three mill ion dollars to build. The attract ion this week was the fashion show which would set the fashions for this fall and winter. It was all one blaze of light, one gorgeous show of tinerv, one Hood of music, and iron nd this hall the "liutterllies ot fashion" paraded in abundance. One beaiuiful dull green costume with cloak to match, made of some sort of wool cloth trimmed with ermine, would cost the purchaser twelve hundred dollars. All cos tumes were worn bv wax figures, except twenty living models, wulk- ln u circle wnere colored ugnis were thrown, wore mast exquisite gowns, the price of which I did not inquire. e spent six days ot sightseeing n New York and left on the seventh day morning feeling that it would take another visit to "do" -New iork to its limit. We took a street car to the South Ferry and ferried across New York Harbor to Jersey City, New Jersey, where we boarded the train for Washington, 1). C. I say without hesitation that Washington is the most beautiful city I have ever seen, and if jt were not for the hope of the New Jeru salem, 1 should say the most beauti ful city I ever expect to see, or the most beautiful Unit there is. Ve visited the White House, the eapito mil the Washington monument, nc went to the top of this monument, ve bundled feet high. 1 Ins gives an enchanting view of the city. We went, into the White House and had a pleasant rest, the halls uud the celebrated East Room being open to visitors every day. We might have given more time to our stay hi Washington, but we had been some time on our trip, and so, while we were not tired, we were atislied, and made our way by I'aii ille to Greensboro, and then to the ld home. Thus elided our delight ful trip. Ida Imioi.h M astes. -.inpiie, .. t ., Uct. 1st, l'.uij. Reminiscences of Randolph. (Aaron Stalk i;r.)
