THE CRoPs.-From accounts re-
ceived from differ ent parts of the
county we learn that the crop pros
poets are now more favorable than
heretofore reported. The only damag-
inc effects to the small grain appears
TO be that the drouth has shortened
the growth of straw, and the bug has
partially injured the wheat on the clay
ridges bordering the timber. But
neither of these enemies to the crops
will materially affect the general yield
We are assured that the yield of wheat,
oats and barley will average with pre-
vious wears. The grass crop was
light, but farmers are happy over the
fact that corn will be king again.

MARK TwAIN's new drama is to have
"a booming hero in cast iron canoe"

The last Democratic Governor of Mas
sachusetts was Marcus Morton. He was
elected, in the fall of 1889, over Edward
Everett, by one vote, and was Governor
during 1910. In the fall of 1912 there
was a triangular contest for Governor in
that State, which resulted in an election
by the people, and the election of Gov
ernor fell accordingly upon the Legisla-
ture. John Davis was the Whig candi-
date; and by a combination of all the
anti-Whig elements in the Legislature
against the Whig candidate, Marcus
Morton was again made Governor But
1889 was the last year in which a Demo-
crat was elected Governor of Massachu-
sets by the direct vote of the people un-
til the success of Mr.. CASTOR last Tuesday
broke the monotony of 'Vhig and Re-
publican successes. Who will now say
that the world does notmove.

are located here. The Buckeye Works"
which is probably the largest and best
known Reaper and Mower Works" in
the world, is the first shop Of any conse-
quence that was built here. 1t was built
about sixteen years ago and marks the
period when Canton's prosperity COM
menced.
"The Wrought Iron Bridge Works"
which is located here, are building iron
bridges that are becoming very popular;
so much so, that the orders are coming
in 80 fast that they are compelled to
work day and night tC ill them. Their
bridges are being put up all over The
United States, one of which can be seeR
in York. Even in far off Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire they are now put
ting up their bridges. Their works are
very large, covering about (3l) three and
half acres of ground. There are in all
about twenty-six works of considerable
magnitude in this city, and many of the
people are of the best mechanics. The
city contains 80 grocery stores and quite
a number of dry goods and other stores,
IA churches, 4 newspapers are published
here, and the city is decidedly Democrat
ic, as indeed is the State of Ohio nOlO.
Canton is noted as being the birth of
the celebrated sculptress "Vinie Ream,"
who carved out of solid marble the stat
ue that now represents "the mortal re-
m@ins" of Napoleon the Third" Il say
remains because that is about all that is
left of him. 1t is also the native place
of Jos. Medil, ex-Mayor of Chicago, and
the man spoken of as the next Republi-
can candidate for the Presidency. Also
the native place of John McSweeney, the
best advocate lawyer in Ohio.
Canton is laid off very regularly, with
all the streets running alright angles and
with large square in the centre, and
not decorated with an old market house
either A large and beautiful new court
house and Jail have just been completed,
and situated on the West side of the
square, which makes very nice appear
ance. Canton covers about four SQUARE
miles, about twice as much as York. All
the resident houses stand back from the
street, and have nice green yards in
'front.' which gives any city an inviting
appearance.
| believe there is more inducements for
the investment of capital here, than in
any city that have been in. Fuel is 80
very cheap. The buildings are not crow
ded together here like in York, and con-
sequently the city is very healthy. have
not been here long enough to gather up
many items At some more favorable
time | will write TO you again. +.

SOMEWHAT DEMOCRA TIC.
little Rock Gazette says :

The Little Rock Gazette says:
"Ifa Democrat should like to take a
long ride through Democratic territory
he can now do so. He can start from
Galveston on the coast of the Gulf of
Mexico, and journey through Texas, Ar
kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware,
reach the Atlantic ocean, without cross
ing the territory of State that has a sin
Gle Republican Representative in the
next lower house Of Congress. These
eight States extend through the heart of
the Union, and they send fifty-three
members to the National House of Rep
resentatives, and the whole fifty-three
members Just elected are Democrats
not a black sheep in the flock. Should
a Republican make the journey, he will
discover that the Democratic party is not
yet dead"
If Kentucky, as is reported, has one
Republican member-elect, this State
would prove an exception. Though elect
ed against the regular Democratic mem
ber, he may see the tendency of things
and act with the party of the people and
the party of justice.

Democratic De1HtieS Rejsetsd-W
AyvESf Of CORAf AyNim RefS1ySdto.
BERLIN, Nov. FL.
In the Reichstag to-day Deputy L.eb-
knect offered motion for the release of
several Democratic Deputies who are
now in prison.
Herr Windhorst supported the motion
and in the course Of his speech hinted at
the frequency of arrests, remarking
that even an Ambassador was not
safe.'.
Prince Bismarck replied to Herr
Windhorst. He said the Deputy had
failed to show that any Of the arrests
made by the Government we're illegal.
The frequency Of arrests was due to the
increasing frequency Of infringement Of
the laws. This was even the case in
grades Of society whose first duty was to
foster respect for the law Prince Bis
marck said he was quite ready to discuss
these questions of arrests.
Herr Lasker remarked that he was op-
posed to the discussion at present of the
motion, saying he preferred its post
ponement until the debate on judicial
reforms had taken place. He regretted
the absence of a preliminary public ex-
animation into the cases Of arrested per-
sons which would have prevented the
dissemination Of dubious rumors.
Herr Reichensperger spoke of the
persecution and imprisonment ofbishops
for conscience sake.
Prince Bismarck, in reply to Herr
Reichensperger. said the latter placed
the subjective conscience above the OBJ
jective law. The Ultramontances and
Local Democrats held ideas of con-
science which cannot be adopted as a
standard.
After further debate Herr Liebknecht's
motion was rejected.

The Chicago Tribune considers CEN
tralization as fundamental issue, and
takes ground against the Democratic
principle of local self-goyerrment. 1t
asserts:
THE Republican party of to-day adheres
10 the doctrine so frequently discussed
nreyious to the Civil War, that this is a
nation that the name, the United States
of America, means a distinct nationality,
an aggregate people. and does not mean
merely the union OF so many independ-
ent States or natiOnsas allies for the COM
mon defense. -.
Now. if any one will look into this
matter with little,yery little care, he will
find that the underlying principle in this
country Is, that governments derive
their Just rights from the consent of the
governed !" that the Revolutionary war
was to make "these colonies Free and In
dependent states" as the DECLARATION
declares-that our General Government
have only the powers, strictly construed,
conferred by the Constitution, all oehenS
being reserved to the states respective
ly," or to the people.
The mere term "nation," or distinct
nationality" is of no consequence unless
those using them, mean the old monarch
ical federal views of Alexander Hamil-
ton,-that is, general government in
which is centred all political power, in
stead of in the people.
The beauties of a tyrannical central
government may be seen in the State of
Louisiana, where the President sent in
troops to trample down the will of the
people. This scheme has cost the peo-
pie of the country largely and has evil

LETTER FROM OHIO.

ChNANNg OsI Wv @ONAAy AOlHs
Mr.. Editor AS a sojourner in this
beautiful little city of Canton, o., l have
picked up few items that in my humble
judgment will be of interest to the nu-
merous readers ofthe press"
Being born and raised in the county of
York, and being familiar with the ways
that they do business there, l could not
help but take notice of the way they do
business here. Quite a contrast exists
between the people of the East, and of
the West.
People in this city are inclined to be
much more enterprising than in the town
of York. Though not halfas old, it has a
population of about 12O00 with all the
modern improvements, water works. &c.
Canton is located about 100 miles West of
Pittsburgh, in the midst of beautiful
and fertile country, is the county seat of
Stark county, one of the best counties for
all purposes in the United States.
In the last few years there has been
an influx Of capital to Canton, which has
been invested in manufacturing estab-
lishments, and has improved the city
wonderfully. Cheap fuel has been the
principal inducement to invite capital
here. Coal can be purchased, delivered
in the coal houses Of the many shops, for
the small sum of 8 cents per bushef.
Here is where the Aldine Printing
Press Works is located, and the celebra-
ted Chromatic Press is made, which is
the only press in the world that will
print three colors with one impression.
Diebold, Norris & Co.'S large Safe Works
is located here, the largest in the United
States Within the last two months they
have contracted with the government for
several large safes, and also for safe to
go to Sacramento, Cal, which cost the
purchaser 100000. It win take two
trains Of cars to draw the safe to the far
West. 1t viii be taken all apart to load
in the cars. 81 ~
