time since, were probably the most complete in
the State outside of the large cities, and thus re-
mark received corroboration we learn, day OF
two ago. from Cincinnati gentleman who was
shown through the gas works by one Of our citi-
zens. This gentleman is prominent business
man of Cincinnati, and the owner of gas worksin
a village in the south part of the State, The Can
tonian in question has no pecuniary interest
whatever in our gas works, and was only showing
his friend from Cincinnati some worthy objects
about our town. Being familiar with gas works
the Cincinnati man took much interest in examin-
ing the Canton works and expressed surprise and
admiration at finding them SO perfect He said;
"These are the'most complete and best arranged
gas works l have ever seen outside Of the large

ton to Senator Herman:
"NEw YORK, February 81.
To Hon. Francis Kernan, Washington.
A telegram to the Associated Press
published this morning, states that har.
monious agreement has been brought
about between the Senate Committee ol
which you are a member, and the Com
mittee of the House, by which it has been
decided not to 90 into an examination Of
my bank account on the one hand, OF
accounts of the Chairman of the Republi-
can Committee on the other hand. re.
pudiste any such agreement and disclaim
any such immunity, protection or benefit
from it. l reject utterly the false impu.
tation that my private bank account con-
tains anything whatever that needs to
be concealed. Under the pretense oil
looking for a payment in December, a
demand was made for all payments after
May and all deposits during nine months
The bank was repeatedly menaced with
removal OF its officers and books to Wash.
ington. A transcript of entries of private
business trusts, charities, containing
everything but what the Committee was
commissioned to investigate, but nothing
which it was commissioned to investi-
gate, because nothing of that sort existed
has been taken with my knowledge to
Washington.
OfCourse there is no item in it relating
to ANYTHING in Oregon, for | never made,
authorized or knew of any expenditure
in relation to the election in that State or
resulting controversies, or any promise,
or obligation, or negotiation on the SUBJ
iect. Mr.. Ellis, acting President of the
bank, himself Republican, some time
ago told the chairman of the Committee
and several of its members that there, is
nothing in the account capable of further
ing any Just object ofinvestigation.
| am also informed that resolution
was passed to summon me as a witness,
but have received no subpoena. l had
written before this telegram appeared
requesting you to say to the Committee
that il would be more agreeable to me
not to visit Washington, if the Commit
tee would send subcommittee, or hold
a session here, but that otherwise | should
attend under the subpoena. As to this
arrangement now reported, | have only
to say can accept decorum and decency
but not fictitious equivalent for mantle
of secrecy to anybody else.

THE lovely Cleveland Leader wants
Speaker Randall hanged and quartered,
and old Taft has been hunting a statute
under which he and Grant can choke to

conscienceless fellows at Washington
who realize that there is a just God and
a righteous people. Retributive justice !

He further says:
"If the arbitrary command of a Chief
Executive who has not sought to emulate
virtues of Washington deprives the citi.
zens of the state of the privilege of join
ing publicly in paying reverence to that
day, sacred to every American patriot,
we can at least show by our obedience to
constituted authority exercised, that we
are not unworthy to be the countrymen
of Washington. We must, therefore, re-
NIT to some more auspicious period,
which trust is not far distant, the ex-
ercise of our right to commemorate the
civic virtues of that unsullied character
who welded his sword only to found and
perpetuate that American Constitutional
liberty which is here denied the citizens
of South Carolina.

How to Treat MObs.

The editor of the Baltim ore Ga
zette, In alluding to the recent riot
in that and other cities, gives our
views of dealing with a mob, in a
paragraph. He says:
'It is falsemercY to aim over
the heads of the crowd i'm time of
riot, or to fire blank cartridges.
Troops should not be used until 9th
er hope is gone; they should be used
as a surgeon uses the knife calmly
and decisively, and wholly without
pity. It is the truest kindness to
kiGl sternly. 1t is to be fairly pre-
sumed that the leaders of the riot
are in front and nearest to the
troops. These are the persons to
kill. The aim should be low, and
delivered in businss like way, and
followed up quickly hy another and
another volley. This sounds cruel,
but it. is the true mercy at last, far
it accomplishes the result in the
quickest way and the way least
wasteful of life."
