The sixth annual report of the Girls
Reform School, shows that the health Of
the institution has been excellent for the
last year.
The girls are divided into families oil
thirty, and are required to do housework,
make their own clothing, and manu-
facture articles for The market, and are
taught the elementary branches of edu-
cation.
The following appropriations are asked
for the ensuing year: Current expenses,
$4,000; salaries, $500; for all other
purposes, $4,000.
Superintendent Nichols suggests that
the laws should be so amended as to ex-
tend the time ofthe inmates at the insti-
tuition either to the time when the pupils
reach twenty years of age, or until the
Trustees think their discharge judicious
Since the establishment of the school
in 1869, 223 pupils have been received
Of which SO were received during the past
year, and % discharged, leaving l43 al
present. The girls have made during
the past year 1897 garments, and kni
33 pair of stockings. The expenses fol
the past year, for current expenses, ag
gregates Sl3,676.

The Administration party has evident
ly had all it cares for of Kellogg and his
tribe in Louisiana. The attempts of the
Board of Ganvassers to keep back the re-
turns of the recent election and cheat
the people again ont of their legally
elected Legislature have been a little too
much for the most Jealous partisans to
bear. The Chicago Tribune, in the face
of the Presidents message, comes out
squarely against Kellogg, says a true
count of the votes of 1872 by a Demo-
cratic Legislature would show that Nc
Emery was elected Governor, and adds :
"We think the Republicans, as a party,
have carried Kellogg and his associates
long enough; they have kept him in
power by force for two years, against the
solemn judgment of the Investigating
Committee of Republican Senators that
he was usurper. Behind that judgment
the Republican party cannot now go,
particularly when the people of the State
have affirmed it by late vote that is too
decisive to be questioned. One of two
things should be done either order a
new election for Governor, or let the par
ty which carried the election govern the
State, even if Kellogg losesan Office which
he cannot hold an hour save by the aid
of the Federal army and navy"

paid by the county. Every gas fitting
dealer in or out Of Canton, or hardware
man, will bear us out in this. We also
state it as a fact, that plumbers in our
city would have furnished them for about
one half Of what was actually paid by
Stark county.
Add to this Mr.. Schaefer's expenses
and timeand we may safely estimate they
cost at least twice as much asthey should
have done. Somebody could well afford
about this period to build moral reform

Mr.. Schaefer boasts, that in lS7 when

him, he expressed willingness, if they
would also submit This game o' bluff is
not the course Of high toned integrity, for
his colleagues may have been as deep in
the mud as he was in the mire, But, in
none of his expressed willingness does
he talk of court Of justice where testi-
mOny UOmd be tegdHy taken under OuH' III
fact there is but one opinion in regard to
this matter among our citizens. Our
readers can easily designate the 'scoun-
drel" and "thief"
Ifswindles and at least one swindler,
are not visible in these transactions, then
the word had better be banished from
the dictionary. These are in character
with the whole history of the man. He
is willing to edit paper even, if others
will publish and bear all expense. His
venom demands an outlet, otherwise, like
the viper, it would poison his own car
cass. Malignity and personal vitupera-
ton absorb his entire nature, and were
his courage equal to his disposition he
would, indeed, be a monster

Mr.. TILDEN, Governor-elect Of New
York, closed an address to the young
Democrats a few evenings since, in valu-
able golden words. They are worth read
ing again and again:
II beg that you will remember that
you may acquire fortune on terms of
honor and self-respect if you will only
have courage to insist upon those terms
and submit to none other. | had oCca-
sion few years ago to say to class of
young men about to take their position
in the profession OF law that l believed,
and do believe, that it was eq ally GER
tain that talent, ability, honor, would
achieve everything that the humun heart
ought to desire, if only it is is insisted
that they should be achieved without
any concessions of ones conviction of
right, or ones sense of duty; that it was
equally not quite equally-easy,
perhaps not quite so speedy, but far more
certain-and when the object was attain
ed it would not turn to ashes in your
grasp. / have never known man so
eaaer for objects of ambition or of fortune.
that he sought to obtain them by indi-
rection, who didn't find that when they
were attained they failed to satisfy. Even
man who has stolen largely of public
money begins to desire public esteem and
to turn round and contrive how to get it,
and ifhe can't get the reality he seeks to
get samples of the sham article. The
human heart is incapable of being salts
fed with anything but real victories in
the face Of life; and, therefore, young
men, and this is the last observation |
have to make to you, ever feel that the
right will be successful, and the right
only"
Mr.. Tilden is evidently a man of prin-
ciple and conviction and earnestly he
lieyes what he says, and acts upon well
settled rules, both in private and public
affairs. With such a man as TILDRN,
Governor of New York; ALLEN, Cover
nor of Ohio; HENDRICKS, Governor of
Indiana, and we doubt not other men
equally worthy in Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and other states, the Democratic
party must gain the confidence Of the
people and more onward to power with a
view of securing honest government.

in this country will be war between
carpet-baggers and honest men. And in
this war the South, equally with the

ton and rascality. Salary grabbers,press-
gaggers. ring swindlers and all such YER
min will suffer in this war. These fellows

The N. Y. Tribune last week proposed a
dollar subscription for the starving in
Nebraska and Kansas. That day seven
ty-five subscriptions were sent to that
Office. The Tribune says: "a party ofgen-
tlemen who have wagered dinner, "con-
cIudes to forego its pleasures that some
ofthe sufferers by the grasshopper raid
in Nebraska and Kansas may enjoy few
less expensive ones" and they send us
accordingly twenty-five dollars. A book
keeper, sending his dollar, reminds his
fellows that "lots of clerks like himself"
could easily spare like amoHnt for the
starving. m
