The Ohio Democratic State Conven
tion has laid down the gauge of battle
which the Democratic party would
have read: "The closing of American

It remains to bo seen what the answer

famous proposition, but we have faith
to beliove that Democracy and British

neither one nor the other Mvlll ever

Give the republic more carefully
guarded immigration laws. This has
been a necessity of the civilization
called American for soma time, and
attitude of h foreign nation and of cit
izens residents of the United States
claiming nativity in that nation simply
accentuates this necessity. The most
tolerant and broad-minded of nil the
nations of history respecting the right
of immigration, this republic has now
reached the utmost limit of safety in
the pursuance of her policy. Hence'
forth it is the dictate of sound states
manship to regulate the immigration
in accordance with the Interests of the
existing population, the welfare of the
land and the future of republican
novernment on this continent.

"Tho Vojrngo of Llfo" Is the topic so-

of tho Methodist Episcopal church on East

mothod by which tho navigator finds his
way across tho sua by dead reckoning was
xplainod. From tho skill and care" re
quired in keeping tho log-book was drawn
tho lesson of thoughtful solicitude for tho
welfare of tho soul. What tho log Is to
tho mariner, oxporionco is to tho christian.
It tolls him of his progress in graco and
irtuo. Hon ought to bo as careful of tho
soul as they aro for tho body, but oxpor

dox of tho ago is that while It demands
scientific procision and mathomatioaldomon
slration in material things It nuts a nromlum
on indefiniteiioss of doctrino, uncertainty Sf
oxporionce and loosoness of morals. This
solicitude should bo constant, not spas
modic. Men uiovo too ofton by fits and
starts, being govornod by impulses rathor

axes his effort nor ceases his vigilance, so
tho christian should constantly watch and

McGUINESS'S QUEST.
An Interesting Story of tho "West
and East.
Several yeari ago Ii. J. McGuiness, who
now keeps a hotel in town, workod in a
Colorado mino with ono Owon McUinloy,
Ono day there was an explosion in the mino
McGulnnss was so badly injured that ho
was disfigured for lifo. McGinloy escaped
injury, heard that MeGu!noss was so badly
burned that his llfo bung by a thread, and
struck out for more congenial employment
in Mexico. In duo timo McGuiness re
covered and returned to town. Ho had
never heard of McGinloy aftor tho ox
plosion and supposed him to bo dead. This
morning a stranger arrived in town in
soarch of work. Ho stopped into the Wat
son Houso and called for a drink. As the
boverago was handed, tho customor lookod
at tho bartender and tho bartondor looked
at tho customor.
"McGuinoss I"
"McGinloy I"
"It is 1"
"I'm sure I"
"How are you!"
"How is yourself?"
"I thought you wero dead."
'I thought you were buried long ago."

"Tako another ?"
"I will."
And now McGinloy is McGumcsa's guest.

Hnnover, N. II., July 20. Miss
Christie Waulou was shot to death
about ouo mile from homo late last
Friday night by Frank Almy, a re
jected bultor.
Few of tho citizens of Hanover knew
until this mornine of the murder.
Tho high character aud social position
of the victim, together with the bold
ness nud desperation of tho deed have
helped to raise excitement to a high
Itch.
Telegrams Riving a description of tho
murderer wero sent out within ono
hour after tho shooting to deputy
sheriffs uloug tho line of all the rail
roads In this section and to conductors
on all the trains at White River Junc
tion, Wells River aud Woodsvllle.

the body of the murderer will bu fouud

his Ueiullsli work was done. Another
theory Is that havlug lung premedi

Tiie victim, ssntii uurisuo wuiuen,
with her mother, her sister Fannie,
aud Louise Goodell, wero ttoiug home
ou foot from u mectlmr of Grafton Star
Grauge, lu which Mlsa Warden has
held for soveral years the ofllco of
lecturer." At about eleven o'clock
they had reached Pouvdi Hollow,
half a mile outside of the village, when
Almy appeared nuiu aside road and
said:
I am Frank Almy. I don't want
auylhliig of you, Mrs. Wardeu, or
Fannie, uo ngut aioug. i want
Christie."
At the same time he took hold
and pushed her to an openiug in tho
fence.
All three tried to resist him, when
ho drew a revolver, thveateuing their
lives. Mrs. Warden cried for help and

reuewed cry for help, Faonlu rushed
forward, whou Alravsaid:
"Faunlo, I hate you and will kill you

At the same time he fired. The bill

to have come from the employ of the

THE MoKINLEY BILL.
Somo Vory Interesting Faots Con
cerning Tin Plato.
The British iron and steel market Is dull.
The recovery which usually comes Bftor
tbo mld-summor depression has got a set
back this year, more especially In the steel
trade, by the withdrawal of the tinplata
tuskers' demand for soil steel billet. This
depretion is all the mo.'e palpable owing
to tho oxtraordinary demand In tho first
half of the yoar, due to the immense ton
nage of tin plate ordered by American im
porters to antleipato Ihe increaso of duty,
which went Into effect on July 1. Tho
shut-down of tho tin-plate plants for a
month, beginning on the 1st instant, left a
hole In tho eteol trade market tbat is not
only severely felt in billets, but In otbor
lines, inasmuch as the mills which had
been supplying material for sheets for tin
and terno plalo are seeking othor markets
for thoir output, and of courso affect thoeo
markets.
With so close connection of blood with
tho locality which must bo so hard hit by
tho birth and bringing up of America's In
fant industry, American citizen's, natlvo
and British born, must foel sympathy with
those wbo are hurt, while at tho samo timo
congratulating themselves that so Import
ant addition is being mado to tho demand
for homo workmon. Mr. Joseph'" D.
Wooks, editor of tho American Manufac
turer and former secretary of tho Western
Iron Association, has mado a calculation of
this demand based on tho importation of
tin plato during tho twelvo months ending
April 30, last, whloh was 122,'ZH tons. To
mako this would require 1,100,000 tons of
ron oro, molted Into 650,000 tons of pig, re
quiring 000,000 tons of ooko. In tho sheet
mills thoro would bo 400,000 tons of shoot
Iron or steel to bo rolled, with tho equiva
lent of 1,600,000 tons of coal consumed In
tho mills. Mr. Woeks sums up as follows:
Now, taking no account' of tho mon en
gaged in tho transportation of materials to
thoir point of consumption, nor of the men
ongagod in producing tbo lumber or mak
ing tho boxes to box this amount of tin
plato, of which somo 8,000,000 boxes would
bo required, wo would havo tho following
as tho number of men working 300 days in
tho year that would be required to produco
tbo materials namod nbovo necessary to
make 122,231 not tons of tin pluto:
Pig Iron '.rt
Iron ore ....H.uui
Coke - 2 00O
Coal..... 2,5110
Klieot lollla A.SU
Tin mills :i,5oo
Total 18,832
This is equivalent to 5,018,000 days' la
bor. This, at an avoragd of $2.50 per day,
would bo equiva'out to 511,121,000 paid out
in wages. Tho fact that tho declared valuo
of tho amount of tin plato above named
was $28,325,205 will show that my ostlmato
is probably far bolow tbjj mark. I think it
would bo fair to assume that fully 20,000
peoplo would bo givon employment di
rectly if tho nmount of tin plato named
wore mado In this country, and more than
fourtimos this number of pooplo givon.
