the same position in this respect as other deci.
sioas made BY u majority of the members OF the
Court and we further adopt the views OF PLAIN
,ifs counsel that the authority OF IA case relates
10 what is decided in 1t. aud not the reasonings
BY which the result is reached; but this result
cannot be separated from the facts in question
on which the decision is made. II cannot there
fore be claimed that Mott V. Kanahele maintains
the proposition that contract laborer can be
compelled TO serve any other person TO whom
the master may give power oil attorney, Tor u
is stated rs the fact IN the case that kanaheie's
contract contained an ingredient different from
any contained in ordinary contracts, an extra
ordinary clause to the effect that tina defendant
in case of the transfer OF the Waiohinu Panta
ton will work for the persons to whom such
plantation shall be conveyed, aud on this basis
the Court say, there Is IN this case no attempt
to eyade the law or 10 make the contract to us
sumo any form which was not contemplated upon
It's very face, and which the defendant did not
fully understand at the time of signing the con
tract.
There is 10 the contracts of the defendants no
clause of like nature TO the above, which they
may be required TO execute. They contnlu the
ordinary provision that the laborer 'wlll obey all
lawful commands of the said party OF the first
part his agent or overseers.
ue tuut tHls 'cf"'VH eV'''sS
for any person whom the master may make his
agent or attorney for the purpose OF using the
servants labor. We cannot take this TO be the
fair amendment of the words His agent or over
seers." In view of the context. they refer 20
such persons as may be placed in charge OF the
property of, and delegated to overlook AMI d.
rect the labor which is done for the master who
makes the contract. 1t Is stipulation consld-
cred necessary to avoid difficulty about bound
servants obeying the representatives OF the mas
ter when he is not present in person. The other
construction would make an ordinary labor con-
tract assignabe to any person, and without ilml
tation The doctrine of The Owners OF Wni-
hee Plantation V. Kalapu expressly contravenes
it and Mott v. Kauahee only enforces "a certain
special and limited contract, and is not, In OUT
view. inconsistent with the former case. The
decision of the Circuit Court appears 10 us to be
in conformity with the law, with the two dec
sIons cited, and with the rerms of the contract.
1t is in effect this, that the defendants art
held by their contracts to work tor Mr. Wide
mann, in his absence obeying the orders and d
rections of the person or persons who are IL

CIark's Opinion of the Japanese.

President Clark, Of the Massachusetts State
Agricultural College, who has just returned from
japan, gave his impressions of that country to
the people of Amherst on Sunday evening.
Among other things he said The Japanese
are people able and willing to do right. | never
saw quarrel 10 Japan and never saw nor heard
Of Japanese student in America or Japan ac-
cused Of immortality. | selected from thousand
young men the students for the college there,
and never knew one of them that would willingly
offend his teachers The japanese will walk up
right like men and become Christians. | have
great faith in people that have such aspirations.
They have great capacity for usefulness in the
conversion Of the world, and are the men of all
others to be missionaries in China. Until last
year Shintoism has been the State religion since
600 years before Christ. 1t is sort OF natural
religion, and they worship the sun God. and this
religion. heathenism. or whatever it is. has made
Japan what it is Since 500 years before Christ
when the FIRST Mikado reigned, they have all
been from the same family. OF all heather reli
gio Shintoism s the least Objectionable, and If
ever become heather l shall be Shintoist."

Honesty Of the Reading Public.

An important fact has been settled by thu
experience of the Boston Free Public Library
as set forth in the last annual report Of that instI,
tuition 1t is that books may be lent in large
numbers for popular reading with loss which
really amounts to nothing. For instance the
Roxbury branch, which has lent lac S29 volumes
during the last year has not lost "a book. The
six branches which have together circulated S93
202 volumes have lost in the same time only ten
books. The great central library, with a crcula
ton of 541 $50 volumes, has lost only ll9. This
however, shows not only honesty on the part Of
the borrowers, but great watchfuness on that Of
the managers. Books wich are not returned With
IN fixed time by the borrowers are demanded
by policeman detailed for the business, so thai
almost the ony loss is of those volumes which arr
carried off by takers who leave the city. The
regulations strictly enforced save the library
from the losses to which it would otherwise bt
exposed.

LABOR supports government and soci-
ETY.; and to arrest the employment OF
productive industry, is to impoverish the
country, embarrass business and pros.
trate trade.
This condition, in time, depletes or
bankrupts the public treasury and pro-
duces suffering, discomfort, and possibly
disorder, among the people. ..,
Productive industry in this country has
been interfered with by four restrictive
tariff laws, that have destroyed our foreign
markets, and almost destroyed American
shipping. This has much to do with
"overproduCtion." The outlet is clogged,
exchange of commodities is hindered.
This, with our financial policy, has
brought the country to the verge bank
ruptcy and ruin. First, was the initiation
that involved us in extravaganza, corrup-
ton and debt; and then came contraction
and forced resumption, with silver de-
monetization, to double and treble the
debt, and thus crush industry, trade and
labor.
The safety of the People is the su-
preme law. Governments are organized
to secure the safety, not the ruin, Of the
people. Hence, as labor supports gov
ernment and society, labor should not be
robbed and ruined. Let all friends ofgood
government continue to vote for change
for reform. ...

A CHALLENGE DECLINED.

Columbus, Sept. 21.--The following
correspondence has passed between the
Democratic and Republican State Execu-
tive Committees, and speaks for itself:
"Dem. State Central Committee Rooms, !
Columbus, o., Sept. Is, 1877. !
General Us. Robinson, Chairman Re-
publican State Executive Committee,
Columbus, Ohio; H..
"DEAR SIR We are authorized, on be.
half of Colonel Lewis D. Campbell, to
tender to Hon. Alphonso Taft, through
your Committee, challenge for the dis
cussion between these gentlemen of the
political issues involved in the present
campaign, at such times and such places,
and under such regulations as may be-
mutually agreed upon. Hoping that IL
will be agreeable to Judge Taft and your
Committee to accept this proposition, we
have the honor to remain, respectfully
yours, JOHN G. THOMPSON"

Two political parties are all that really
survive and continue in any free count
ry-in fact all that can. For example,
the question now before the American
people for consideration is: Shall the
policy of the Republican party be APPROX
ed at the polls2 Shall we say by our
votes "well done, good, honest and
faithful servants2" Shall wesay, "thank
you, John Sherman and company, for
the good and happy and prosperous
times you have given usP"
All who 80 say should vote for West,
who says there is NO REMEDY in leg
islation for these hard times. West,
Sherman and company deny they and
their party policy caused this ruin.
The people, however, especially work
ing men, Know better, and they also
know the Democratic party antagonizef
the Republican policy; that the Democ'
racy is the only party of power sufficient
to overthrow the party in power, and re-
verse the wheels Of ruin that John Sher'
man and company are driving.

The CANTON POST OFFICE.

That has been a sort of slumbering vol.
cano, was rendered active by the article
of our correspondent, "Andrew j." two
weeks ago. In our issue last week we
gave Congressman McKinley's reply.
The Repository gave in addition, state
ments from T. W. Saxton and Postmaster
Vignos, the man endorsed by Mckinley
and Saxton, and who got the position
through that endorsement
AS we said last week, it is purely a
Republican affair, not concerning our
side of the house. Mr.. saxton, in his
statement, admits interviews with ex'
Postmaster Shafer, but claims he only
wanted Shafer to give his father-in'law
Charley Reifsnider's place at $1,000 q
year and that he did not claim he could
control Congressman Mckinley as to the
appointment. Postmaster Vignos de-
clares he is P. NJ. Of Canton, and "that
all and any charges and insinuations" as
to his having "bought my (his) position
from Major Mckinley and Thos, W. Sax
ton, by giving a money consideration
therefor, are totally and absolutely false"
Mr.. Viguos also says he has not paid nor
promised to pay these gentlemen, a dol
lar in money or any other consideration
and that he has never been asked to do
so by either of them-that neither of
them influenced or sought to influence
him in the selection of assistants, &c.
These, in substance, are what Messrs.
Saxton and Vignos say in their state
ments.
As to ex-Postmaster Shafer, we may
say, that had a vote been taken OF the
Republican citizens of Canton last spring
to ascertain their choice for P. NJ, Mr..
Shafer would have been the selection by
a very large majority. Mr.. Shafer is ac-
knowledged on all hands to have been a
model Postmaster, and we only express
our own, with the general regret, at his
dismissal.
One fact must not be lost sight Of, and
that is, that Mr.. Vignos owes his position
entirely to Messrs. Mckinley and Saxton;
the presumption is, and we may say the
general belief is, that Mr.. shsfer might
have had the influence, and continued
to be Postmaster Of Canton.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR The STA TIE
SENATE.

Mr.. johnson Sherrick, our candidate
for the State Senate, is q well known
business man Of Canton, and as such is
known as a man Of character and con-
science.
In all the relations Of life he has faith
fully acted his part, deceiving no one,
not even himself. AS an honest man
and correct citizen then, we present Mr..
Sherrick as our candidate for the State
Senate. Let all men who realize the inn
portance of electing such man to the
Senate, consider and act accordingly on
election day.
Mr.. Sherrick is no Office seeker. He
would have preferred that some other
gentleman had been chosen by the COM
mittees and 30 told them. He also much
regretted the withdrawal of Mr.. Haines,
with whose nomination Mr.. Sherrick was
we'll pleased. Having been selected by
the committees to fill the vacancy, he
accepted the honor, and will manfully do
his part to secure success.
We appeal, then, to all good citizens
in the district to VOTE FOR Mr., SHERRIoK,
for they may rest assured, that, in so do
ing they will vote for an honest man, who
will strive to do his duty in accordance
with his oath to support the Constitutions
of the United States and State of Ohio.
Mr.. Sherrick's experience of four ses-
sions in the lower House of our General
Assembly qualify him to be a useful
member of the Senate, and to be credit
to his district He will not consume val
uable time with long-winded, balderdash
speeches, but aid and labor in the dis
patch of business.
He will honor the position. Let the
good and sensible people of Stark and
Carroll ELECT HIM.

MATTHEW'S SEWING.
The Debate at Alliance,

On Friday last, between Senator Mat
thews and Gen. Ewing, attracted a large
assemblage. The distinguished dispu-
tants were listened TO with earnest atten-
tion, save when occasionally interrupted
by applause. aw le
The discussion was held on the Fair
Grounds, and was opened by Senator
Matthews, who was introduced by Prof.
Hartshorn. Mr.. Matthews spoke an
hour, and then was followed for an hour
and halfby Gen. Ewing, who confined
his remarks almost wholly to the fnan-
cial question.
Gen. Ewing was introduced by Hon.
johnson Sherrick, and was greeted with
applause. His arraignment Of the Re-
publican party in its tortuous and ruinous
policy was unanswered by his opponent.
Mr.. Ewing showed up John Shermans
course in Congress, and convinced most
people that he was the mere tool of the
moneyed power.
Senator Matthews is an adroit and able
debater, a keen and astute lawyer, and
an accomplished publicspeaker. He &C.
quilted himself with credit, and made
the most of his side of the question.
At their previous meetings Gen. Ewing
held Mr.. Matthews up as one Of the man
ipulators of the Presidential fraud, but at
Alliance this matter was not referred to.
The audience was about equally divided
politically; and good order observed
throughout. OfCourse the speakers OBJ
served the proprieties and courtesies Of
fair debate. Each gentleman received
proper attention from his political friends
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-09-27

STANLEY Matthews's denial, in his de-
bates with Gen. Ewing. of his ever hav-
ing acted as the go-between in the nego'
tiations between Hayes and the Southern
Congressman, pending the electoral
count, is not received as gospel. The
Baltimore Sun says:
There are hundreds of witnesses to the
fact that Mr.. Matthews repeatedly sought
out Southern Congressman and others at
the Capitol and at the hotels, urged them
to allow the electoral count to proceed,
and assured them that everything would
be made right for the South. AS this
whole matter will no doubt be investiga-
ted by committee of Congress, it will be
seen whether Matthews, when put un-
der oath, will have the hardihood to
deny the promises which he made in the
presence of those to whom the promises
were made. .r. ..s

ANOTHER COLORED CASE.
Mr. Scott a Cripple, Tells Ills
Experience with WOuIdbe'
Senator FOlger
THE COLORED VOTE HARDLY SOLID

We commend the following letter from
Mr.. Scott to the Massillon Independent
and all its scribblers. 1t shows that Por
ter's is not the only case of the kind by
any means, and it certainly shows that
Mr.. Folger is not a suitable man to send

The estate was in debt five hun.

of it? This sort of conduct does not in.

THAT discussion between Mr.. Folger
and Mr.. Sherrick is not likely to come
of, "as Mr.. Folger desires" the Massillon
Independent ito say that he shall give the
subject no further attention"
Our readers no doubt perused Mr.. Fol-
gers challenge that we published last
week, and observed that he only propos-
ed Mr.. Sherrick meet him in joint dis
cussion in Carroll county Mr.. SherriCk
accepted, on condition that they hold
joint meetingsin both Carroll and Stark.
In reply to this Mr., Folger wrote, II am
wholly unable to say whether can ac-
cede to your proposition until I shall
hear from Carroll county" &c,
1t is to be presumed, then, that Mr..
Folger has heard, and this is the fnality
of the splurge and the whole matter.

GEN. Ew1Ne's appeal to the working
men, near the close Of his speech in the
Opera House, was excellent. We wish
every laboring man in Stark county had
heard him. They were words of fact
and sense. He showed that during these
twelve years since the war, instead of
promoting prosperity by regarding JUS
tice and practising economy, the Repub-
lican party policy had sacrificed the in
terests Of industry to the moloch Of the
money power. Forced resumption and
silver demonetization were the crowning
acts Of wrong and ruin. Against these

how the gentlemen accused can extricate

tion. The evidence, circumstantial and
otherwise, seems to be wholly unanswer-
able. This Republican confusion over
the Postoffice occupied almost an entire
page of last weeks Repository, as though
somebody was hurt.

HON. JOHNSON SRERRICK.

Hon. A. R. Haines, the Democratic
nominee for State Senator in the Carroll
Stark District having declined, the DEM
ocratic Central Committees of Stark and
Carroll counties last Wednesday nomina-
ted Hon. Johnson Sherrick of Canton, by
acclamation to the candidacy made vacant
by the resignation Of Mr.. Halnes.
The nomination Of Mr.. Sherrick is q
most commendable one. He has had the
experience Of two Legislative terms. As
a legislator, he displayed ability, industry
and a watchful care Of the interest Of his
constituents. His merits and services
entitle him to a triumphant election at
the hands Of the people Of that District.

M, Thlers's Manifesto Prepared Before

Paris, Sept. 24.-M. Thiers's manifesto
addressed to the Electors of the Ninth
Arrondissementi is published. Itjustifes
the proceedings of the late Chamber Of
Deputies, and praises it's moderation and
wisdom; explains his preference for Re-

conviction that a monarchy is impossible;
describes the existing situation as intol-
erable, there being a Republican consti.

ton. 1t strongly protests against the
crisis of the 10th of May, and proclaims
the sovereignty of the nation, and its
power to rebuke the recent dissolution.
To resist its power will be usurpation. 1t
demands freedom of elections, and free
dom of the press. M. Thiers's principles
are thus summarized: the sovereignty of
