1894. PENCIL POINTERS. This country has not for twenty five years bad any important Democratic legislation, and it does not want any for a century. Democratic administration of Republican laws has almost ruiued tbe nation. As senator Quay says, it is the duty of every Republican represents tive to scourge the Democracy at every legislative whipping post Thereby they may prevent the enactment of that odious Wilson bill, and restore the country to its prosperity.

Legislator may be as sured that the people will gladly uphold them in any act with a shade of right on its side to prevent the passage of this ruinous measure. Democratic papers are fond of urging that Congress shouldcar-ry out the Democratic platform, because Congress was elected on that platform. If the popular verdict in 92 was for free trade, certainly the people spoke all the more plainly against it in '93. Free trade organs urge also that if we are to have free trade, we should have it at once, and at once be relieved of nn certainty. What nonsense! The fear of an evil is bad, but the evil itself is worse.

The fear of free trade is nothing to the terrible consequences of free trade itself. Now the furnaces and mills stand ready to resume work, and the workmen are ready to start the fires, the minute the country shall be assured that Protec tion is safe. Should free trade prevail the mills would be torn down, machinery would not pay for keeping it unrusted skilled workmen made into small and wretched farmers would forget their skill, and capital would seek other avenues of investment Let us have every possible stumbling block put its path. It seems that rresident Cleveland can not keep his bitter personal feelings out of his executive acts. Senator Hill gave him an inglorious defeat by having tne Senate reject Hornblower as Associate.

Judtre of the Supreme Court, and now the President nominates Wheeler H. Peckham. a New York lawyer, known to fame chiefly because of his anti-snapper parts, and of an interview in which he sharply scored the Senate for throwing out Hornblower. Peckham is more repugnant to Hill than is Hornblower. Peckham bolted Hill's nomination in 1888.

and has fought him in every possible way since Hill came into politics. Tbe President appointment is regarded as a challenge to Senator Hill, and the country will have the satisfaction of seeing its President engaged in another undignified struggle with the Senior Senator of New York over the control of the spoils. If we may believe history, there was in former times a Congress in this country, and that Congress made laws, to which the Executive put his name as a matter of form. The spirit of our government did not contemplate that laws should be made by the President. But under President Cleveland the old conditions are changed.

Cleveland not content with vetoing arbitarily much wholesome legislation, seems now to have shouldered both the executive and legislative branches of the government Congress has dwindled into a lot of cuckoos who wait for the clock to strike at the White House before they will act. How long must the country stand this man? Politics was of course tabooed by the Farmers' Institute held here last week, bat evidently some farmers would have liked to say a few words in reference to the Wilson bilL In the judgment of a man who has been a wool-grower for nearly 40 years, 20 cent wool will destroy the flocks of Eastern Ohio. And in his judgment, too, the best thing the Democratic majority can now do for the wool raiser is to return to the tariff of '67. He added that, if as is proposed by the ruinous measure of Tinker Wilson, wool is placed on the free list, he had nothing to sav. But he evidently had something to say, and was restrained only by the place.

Tha Martin's Ferry Evening Times notes that many persons living in town will this summer try running small farms and living in the country, where old clothes may be worn, the children run barefoot and enough truck raised to sup port the family. Such is the effect ol Democratic times. It has always been claimed that free trade will make us a nation of small farmers, and this appears to be the entering wedge. Close up the factories, turn the workers into the country, destroy the home market and put us back a century or two in human progress. During his first administration Presi dent Cleveland through one whole message snorted over the fact that there was a surplus in the United States Treasury A "condition and not a theory" con fronted him, and he laid awake o'nights thinking about it Now there is no but plus and not very much income, and still he is not satisfied.

What does he want any how Would he like to have a little of that Republican surplus back again? If he would like the latter, the country is with him. It is said that Representative ITeinlein will advocate a bill to make a separate judicial district of Belmont county. Certainly the business of the county warrants such a measure. And certainly the people of the county will be glad to be loosed from Monroe county in the selection of a judge. We have been well served in the matter of judges thus far, but the fact that any man who secures the Democratic nomination is almost sure of an election Is a result from which we would gladly be freed.

A reduction of 20 per cent in the wages fund of the United States means a reduc tion of the purchasing power of the people of two thousand million dollars. When this sum is taken from wages, it is taken also from the merchants who sell to the wage earners. No wonder times are hard. Two billion dollars from a country's income must be felt somewhere. The point has been well raised that Secretary Carlisle is going out of legal bounds in his bond issue of 850,000,000.

If he can issue this sum, he can with equal right issue a billion dollars' worth of bonds. Tbe act of 1875 certainly did not put it in the power of treasury officials to run the country in debt at their will. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Won At Last. Hon.

Robert Sherrard, of Steubenville. has just won a case against the Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad Company in the Supreme Court. He refused to go into the consolidation with his Panhandle stock and applied to the court to Lave the value of his stock determined and paid him by the railroad company.

Ohio has had thirty six Governors since its admission into the Union in 1802.

B. Foraker, Jas. E. Campbell and the present incumbent In 1893 During 1893 rain fell on 115 days and snow on 27 days. There were 29 days cloudy without rain and 141 fair days.

The total rain fall was 42.17 inches. The coldest month was January, and the coldest day January 18. The warmest month was July, and the warmest day July 15. These observations were taken at Wheeling. The case of Douglass against Hatcher, wherein Douglass brought suit for damages against Hatcher because the latter had put his name in a list of persons to whom he warned a saloonist at Malaga not to selljliquor, was tried all last week in tbe Woodsfield court and decided against the plaintiff, Douglass.

The English and the Americans are both rich, but which are the richer? Perhaps tbe statisticians know or can find out, but it is not certain that the statistical answer would give the information that one really wants and which involves the distribution of wealth as well as its mere existence. Most Americans have to work; but as is well known, a considerable proportion of English people toil not nor spin, and make no pretense of doing anything tor a living. Is that because the English are richer than we, or is it a matter of taste or a result of primogeniture? So also it appears from close study of documents submitted by Anthony Trol-lope and other contemporaneous historians that British gentlemen in respectable circumstances employ from five to fifty servants and have several houses apiece, all of which they live in, and travel much besides. An American who lives in that way is looked upon as a man of "very exceptional resources, but it would seem that an English gentleman who does not live in that way is thought to be somewhat straitened. In England there are 300 or 400 hunt clubs, and something like 20,000 Britishers ride pretty regularly to hounds.

But hunting is an expensive sport tbat takes both time and money. These English seem to have both to spare. A returned traveler was speaking of the shoals of agreeable English people he met in the Riviera and in all the play places of southern Europe. When asked if they were rich people, he said not but that they were to live as they did because they knew how and got their money's worth. He thought, too.

that the well to do English bad a more complete domestic apparatus ready to hand than most Americans and could spend a larger proportion of tbeir incomes on travel and amusement Houses and furniture and such expensive vanities they had already by inheritance and were not compelled to spend useful money in providing them. Regarding the English habit of publishing novels in three bound volumes would the American buy novels in such costly form? Are not all the habits of living that we borrow from the British, from dock tailed horses to indoor men servants, more costly than the customs they supersede? They must have a great deal of money to spend, those enterprising islandors. No one would hesitate to say that the Americans are richer than the Russians, or the Italians, or the Germans, or even tbe thrifty French, but the Briton gives us pause. Is he really richer than we are, or is he merely an older son, and a dweller in a land where servants work for small pay, and clothes are cheap, and novels are rented out by Mudie, and the tax on stimulants is laid for revenue, and not for prevention, and where to loaf and invite one's soul is esteemed a preferable thing to toil?

Boston Gazette, The French have long been famous for their riddles, but it was an English family who lived in such an atmosphere of puzzledom that on the husband inquiring in excited accents of his wife, "Why is that door always left open?" she took on a reflective air, and after a moment's musing answered, "I give it up." A young man advertised for a wife.and his sister answered the advertisement; and the young man thinks there is no balm in advertisements, and the old people think it is pretty hard to have two fools in one family. It was an old bachelor who said that he never read the women's corner in his paper, although be was something of a women scorner himself.

High St, Columbus, O. CHARACTER IN GATT. PERSCNALITY OF PEOPLE SHOWS ITSELF IN THEIR WALK. The Strutter Has Boundless Woman Who Steps With Painful Accuracy Ab. Here Comes the Man With Steady Tread and Manly Carriage.

It is Plutarch who says that "An action of small note, a short saying or je3t will distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges or the most important battles," and Lavater, the father of physiognomy, declares that no man can set a glass upon a table without betraying to certain extent his individuality. True, no doubt, but one must have the keen vision, the well trained eye, in order to interpret these mystic signs. The indications of character as exhibited in the walk of a person, however, are patent to every beholder and may be deciphered by the most untutored, the least astute. Sit by your window some fine morning and watch the men and women as they pass to their varied avocations. Take, for example, the man just approaching.

His chin Is elevated to an angle of 20 degrees, a self important frown corrugates his brow, a complacent smile plays about his mouth, he struts rather than walks. Need I point him out as a man of boundless conceit, of monumental brass, of colossal gall? His amiability is imperturbable, for one who is absolutely self satisfied is apt to take an indulgent view of the world at large. His faith in himself is limitless. No traitorous feeling of self distrust will ever cause his failure. He will under take without the slightest misgiving what a man of ten times his ability would hesitate to attempt.

His saccess in life is assured, and yet one cannot help feeling that if traced to its roots it would be found to spring from defects rather than merits. The dress cf the woman coming just behind him is arranged with mathemat ical exactness. The placing of each pin has been a matter of special care. Her lips are compressed, her bauds clasped primly before her, her steps are taken with painful accuracy; there is not a hairbreadth's difference in the length of them. If yon follow her to her home, you will find that the same scrupulous ness prevails in the disposition of every thing about her.

The furniture is ar ranged with rectangular exactness, there is not a pin out of place in her bureau drawers, aud the jars upon her pantry shelves are marshaled like sol diers on parade. She will accomplish no great work in life, however. She is a precisionist and spends ber time labori ously doing nothing. Aud. also, take care of this woman.

She is absolutely uncompromising, and all about ber must be lopped off or stretched oat to fit the procrustean idea of order which exists in her own mind. But don't you who are in search of a wif fall into the opposite error of choos ing as a life companion the girl with the frouzy head, the skirt of whose dress dips in points, whose gait is careless, who swings her arms as she walks. She is eenerous, warm hearted, good natur ed, possessed of noble traits, but confusion, with all its hideous train of evils, follows in her wake. One foresees foi ber an untidy, chaotic household, irreg alar, ill arranged meals and uncleanly, badly governed children. If her husband happens to b9 a strong, an exceptionally strong man, he will simply be supremely wretched and uncomfortable.

It not. nis ambition will be paralyzed, nis dis position spoiled he will escape the physical discomforts of his situation by every means in his power and perhaps drown the recollection of them in drink. The man with the shuffling, uncertain gait, whose steps seem to be directed by no guiding power within, is weakmind ed. There is nothing which more surely betrays feebleness of intellect than the walk And he of the awkward gait, the restless manner, the furtive glance, if the morbidly self conscious man. who cannot for a moment divest himself ol the sense of being observed: who lives, so to speak, under a glass case And he of the soft, cautions tread, who gives yon the impression of creeping upon some object as a cat creeps up upon a bird, is feline in his nature.

He is not to be trusted; he is treacherous; every faculty of his mind is poised for a spring. Let me commend to your confidence tbe man just coming into view the man with the earnest eye, the manly carriage. the firm tread, who walks with simple, straightforward directness, as if toward some given point. He is "stable in all his ways. He has a distinctly defined.

well considered purpose in life, toward the attainment of which he advances with unswerving steadfastness, never turning to the right or the left, never allowing himself to be drawn into bypaths, no matter how alluring. His vic tory is assured, his success merely a ques tion of time. And so might one multiply types ad infinitum, for the variety iu mankind is limitless. Nor is it to be wondered at that the characteristics of men and women exhibit themselves in the gait, for the motive power, the propelling force, is from within. In his account cf Cataline, Sallust, the great master of nature, has not forgotten to remark that "his walk was now quick and again slow, as an indication of a mind revolving with violent emotions.
