THE GAS QUESTION,

Sometime since our city Council received pro-
position from the Canton Gas Company that, with
a view of extending and increasing consumption
smong private consumers, the company would
reduce The price of gas to S2.75 per thousand feet
in.tead of 1925 as now that the company would
light and extinguish street lamps, furnish the gas
and make all repairs for So per post per month";
This contract to run seven years
The matter was referred to the committee, has
been discussed and considered, but has not been
acted on.
The present contract, as we say, is S325 to prl
Yate consumers, and the city pays So per post per
month the company lighting and extinguishing
and keeping in repair.
Mr.. Weaver, of the city Council, having written
to and received answers from number of cities
of the State giving the status of the Gas question,
we give the replies as follows

We give these facts to our citizens knowing
they can draw their own conclusions To the city
Council we have no advice TO give and doubt not
the members thereof will give the subject due
consideration and act for the best interests of all
concerned.
1t will be seen that private consumers at Can
ton pay about the average of the above rates of
charge and that our city pays below the average,
OF course, the city large consumer Of gas, but
we never could see the full proprety in city
council forcing private consumers to pay more
for their gas than the city. Our ideas of even
handed justice run not in that direction. 1t will
be seen that q number of the best towns of Ohio
pay for their gas at the same rate as do private
citizens We take the liberty of commencing

BLooD.-our people, those at least who attended
the Richardson trial last week. should be familiar
with the composition Of the blood and Its varied
properties. There was such an elucidatien by
experts Of serum, and flbrin and albumen, and
coagulum and corpuscles and the like and then
the microscope was introduced, and each juror
was requested to take q peep to determine on
which side OF the fabric the fluid was first received
In addition to which much lghtwas thrown upon
the dlfferential properties of human blood, and
that Of other mammalia, and how to distinguish
it from the blood of birds and fishes Hereafter
should dispute arise in our community on the
subject of blood, we would recommend as a ref
cree any one Of the jurors in this trial. Ifhe is
unable to settle the question: 1t would be useless
TO make further effort.

Is it possible there can be any safety
in the reaotionary policy which would
place the affairs of state in the hands Of
those who belong to that party of the
monster corruption of Tammany Hall
in the North and the secession rebellion
of the South. Is it claimed that Tilden
worked against the corruption of his
party friends in New York 2 Never a
hand did he raise against that monster
iniquity till it had been exposed by the
republicans of that state under the lead
of the New York Times. And now as
governor of New York, will you call
the roll of those who have been punished
for their frauds Almost the whole ring
have been allowed to escape, and that
too, under the state administration of
this same Tilden, including the head
thief of all, Tweed himself
In the South this same party have
practically DISTINGUISHED large portion
of the people and set at defiance the
amendments to the constitution, being a
system of intimidation, terrorism and
assassination, by which the will of the
majority in several states is wholly sup
pressed, fresh instance of which is the
late massacre in South Carolina.
To-day we are told by members of the
democratic party in the northern states,
that it is yet a question whether the
South had not the right of secession ?
This sets us back squarely to the issues
of 1860 and 1861, and is it possible that
any good and patriotic citizen will so
vote as to throw away and abandon the
work of the past sixteen years
If then you would vote to sustain the
Union, as now constituted and saved
from those who even yet boldly announce
their hostility to it, it must be very
plain duty as to how you will cast your
suffrage.
1t so happens that the only influence
Vermont can exert on the presidential
election, is at the ballot box in Septem-
Der, and full vote of the people will
send cheering word to those in doubt
full states, and also to those whose right
Of suffrage is still met with the revolver
and shot gun.
Republicans of Vermont! Awake
from your apathy in every town Bring
out your full vote and send glad tidings
to the country.

The Duty of Citizens,

With reference to voting, long before
the rebellion, Henry Clay once said,
Let every man do his duty, his whole
duty and nothing but his duty Yet
thousands of good people very little feel
the force of this exhortation or their du-
ty as citizens who constitute part ofour
government
We are soon to have an election Good
honest men in both parties in good faith
wish and are in favor Of the best govern
ment, but each party has different pol
icy. Now then it becomes the duty of
the good citizen to carefully examine
these two policies, with all attendant cir
cumstances, and make up his Judgment
which will conduce most for good gov
eminent, and to that he should add his
own support at the ballot box. 1t is a
highly honorable and important duty
and no citizen should feel indifferent tc
it. Every citizen has the benefit of the
government and the privilege of helping
to shape it.
The events of the past sixteen year,
do not need to be rehearsed here MOI
is it necessary to say who it was that at
tempted to destroy the government or tt
what party they belonged. Everybody
knows who whether they acknowledg,
it or not. In the presidential election
now pending, we are invited to place thu
government in the hands of those VIII,

would do with his own affairs

Gov. Hayes intends TO take no part
in the presidential canvass, therein fol-

who made no speeches for himself.
A prominent democratic paper in
Nebraska, the Lincoln Daily Globe,

Hayes, whom we will support for presi-

In view of the pending election, bear
in mind that the present democratic
House of representatives, have as far as
in their power, organized the political
affairs of the country ON the old section
al pro-slavery system, even though in
doing it they snubbed northern demo-
Gratis as of old. OF the "a chairmen of
the House committees 81 are from the
South, and not one from New England /;
and this too not for want of men, for
Connecticut, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire each had able democrats in
the House to whom such positions be-
longed, and it is well understood that
this constitutes part of the disgust of
Mr.. Bell, democratic member from
New Hampshire, who last week threat
ened to resign his seat. There are some
northern democrats who do not feel like
being snubbed after the old slave plan
tation style, and Mr.. Bell is one of them.
Let us see to it then that in this attempt
tore-establish the old secession oligarchy
Vermont gives no uncertain voice in

1864, when the life of the nation was i'm
periled by an armed rebellion. Mr.. Til

encies for the procession, and among the
notices prominently borne were the fol-
lowing:

erty hath her avengers"

ditionaI despot in Abraham Lincoln"
No more victims for slaughter pens.

"If Seward touches his belP again

"The constitution we will obey, but
