In the right wing of the Tro-
cadero there are fifteen small
rooms devoted to a French eth
nographic exhibition. It shows
the progress Of this nation to-
wards civilization from the pn :
historic period, when men lived
entirely in caves and holes
scooped out in hillsides, and
carved rude images On the tusks
of elephants which then roamed
in the jungles Of Western Eu-
rope. Here. skulls OF a very
remote period may be seen, and
there is but little difference to
be found in the skull of the
troglodyte of that time and the
Uranium of the better sort of
ape. The artistic aspiration,
scientific theorists tell us, pro-
ceeded from the superior quail
ty of the brain. In the lacus-
trian period progress toward
civilization made a long stride.
Living in habitations resemb-
ling those of beavers and de-
Tended from their natural enc
mics, the carniverous beasts, by
the water that environed them,
our ancestors took up sedenta-
ry habits and occupations.
Their waffle huts, constructed
on islands and dams, became to
some extent workshops, and
when the lacustrians quilted
their water defended homes to
live on terra frma they had ac-
qaired habits of sociability and
mutual dependence. The food
on which they lived amid the
lakes was piscatory, no better
food for the brain, scientists tell
us. The early Gauls left the
deepest traces of their foot
prints on the upward path to-
wards civilization in the graves
of their progenitors; by them
implements of bronze were man
ufactured; the altar became the
meeting place of the tribe; pro-
cessions were organized, and in
Druidical rites those glimmer-
ings of science and philosophy
which were casting light on
the Gallo brain were brought
into a focus. A literary ele-
ment was brought in by the
high civilization of Rome, which
next came upon the scene. The
church, as in the time of the
Druids, was the synthesis of
art, philosophy and science. As
compared with pagan antiquity,
christendom was very benight-
ed under the Morovignian and
CarIoyignian dynastics, but an
inspection Of this ethnographic
will convince many
that the darkness Of that era has
been overrated. In the 18th
century the drama began to g.
yolye itself in the "passion
plays" and "mysteries." We
find in this section seven scenes
painted on the canvas. The ac-
tors placed themselves before
each in succession to make time
md place cohere until they had
got to the end of their play.
Those curious to know the in
'ancy Of the modern drama
should inspectthe stage accesso-
les of this exhibit.

In 1876 7, during the counting of the
electoral vote, the "bloody shirt" organs
laid great stress on the rumor of a move
ment among Democrats to assassinate
Hayes, provided he was elected, and
haunted this lie in an aggravating and
shameful manner during the whole
count, in order to create sympathy and
feeling for Hayes, but now the Eliza
Pinkston, John Sherman, McKinley.Sax.
ton organ says, in speaking Of the origin
ator of that story. "Early in the special
session of the Senate last fall, the Presi-
dent nominated to Second Lieutenancy
in the army man named Maxwell, who
had been a professional detective, and
had done efficient service for Republicans in
Florida during the counting of the elec-
toral vote. Maxwell is the man who
concoCted the enormous sensation about
the intended assassination of the Presi-
dent elect, pretending to have overheard
a party of conspirators plotting such a
deed at a hotel in this city. President
Hayes always belle 5ed this story, and
during his journey from Columbus to
Washington, and while he remained
here, until after his Inauguration, he was
guarded by party of deteC-
tives, of whom Maxwell was one. He
rewarded Maxwell with an appointment
in the secret service Immediately after
The Inauguration, and when Congress
mat, nominated him as Lieutenant in

ocratiC General Assembly of the State,
The Radical triCksters of Ohio are at a
loss for something to get up a hurrah
about so as to help them ia the State ;
and they are trying to getup scare over
the late act of the Legislature re.organ-
izing the Home. Three years or 30 ago
the radical Legislature re-organized Mr..
Kerr, Democrat, out, and Col. Shaw
(pshaw J in. The late act sent adrift the
lamented Shaw-and that's what's the
matter with all the Hannahs and ham
nah organs, like the Repository.
The Democrats did not whine and
howl at Mr.. Kerr's removal, though no
better man ever filed such a position.
Col. Shaw was a great favorite with the
radical members of the Legislature a
year or two ago. A large party of them
went regularly to the Home every Sat.
urday evening, and remained over Sun.

expense, and having good time with
the lady teachers and attendants, of
whom there were thirty or forty, The
Cincinnati papers related more than one
case that reflected no credit upon some
of the Republican solons, who meanly
passed themselves off as single men.
The Home is a school, not nursery, as
it has been Of late as we are informed,
some counties piling in little ones that
should be with their mothers. One Coun-
ty, Green we believe, has had between
one and two hundred in at time, while
Stark, perhaps, has half dozen or so.
The late act was framed with a view to
regulate this, and also with view to run
it economically. The Trustees too, are
worthy citizens, and mostly old soldiers,
who will give the Home their careful at
tention. Gen. Barnabus Burns of Mans
field, we believe, is President of the
Board of Trustees.
Let our friends read the articles in
question, and preserve the paper for fu.

GEN. THos. EWING was nominated for
Congress by acclamation last week, by
the Democratic convention of the tenth
district. The counties of Fairfield, Gal
liza, Hooking, Meigs and Vinton compose
this district. 1t is Democratic as it now
stands, the majority for Gov. Bishop last
year being about 1900. In 1876 Tilden's
majority was 806. Gen. Ewing's election
is considered one of the certain things
in IL political future. After his nomin-
alton he made lengthy speech, giving
his views on the financial situation, in
which he urged that the National banks
should be abolished, the Government as.
suming the right to issue the currency,
and the volume Of such to be fixed by
Congress from time to time. He de-
manded the repeal Of the Resumption
bill, and said it was necessary for the
people 10 demand its repeal in tones not

The Republican party is the true friend
and protector of American industries
and the welfare of the working classes,
while. on the other hand the Democratic
party would open wide our ports to the
products of the pauper labor of Europe
to compete with American workmen.
These things should not be lost sight of
by voters at the coming election for
members of Congress- Warren Chronicle,
The lies in the above "should not be
lost sighS of by voters" The Democrats
favor revenue tariff, not a robber arrange
ment, to plunder the people to benefit
few. Under the Republican protective

The radical papers are publishing a
pretended list of the County Treasurers
of Ohio who have lately proved to be
defaulters. We know that Democrats, as
individuals, are but men, and may fall.

the kind has occurred. They also specify
Wayne county, where the last defaulter
was a Republican Treasurer, Helman.

Judge, appointed an honest examiner of

cit of some SIXTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS. The fact is, if this examination
of county treasurers is honestly attended

there can be deficit to any extent.
Examinations are required every few
months, and may be made at any time.
The thing is to honestly enforce and
carry out the IaW.
But the worst case of downright vii.
lainy in Office in this section of the State,

THE Cleveland Herald article, copied
by the Repository approvingly, and which
we gave last week, is troubling, already,
the Mckinley people. We were satisfied
it would. The Rep is anxious to throw
the responsibility of the slang epithets
used, upon "the engineer" of the coal
train. This is thin. The Herald repor.
ter was writing in the interest of Major
Mckinley. He was the author, and the
Mckinley organ published and endors-
ed. We are aware it is quite convenient
to put these vile terms into the mouth
of another. The Reps eleomargarine

call them ''the internal Nationals" But
the choice extract is this:

THE REPUBLICAN CONGREssION-
AL CONVENTION.

The Republicans of this district met at
Masaillon on Wednesday, last week, to
nominate a candidate against General
Wiley. There was no question as to who
the nominee would be, for no one was
anxious to take the field against the gal
liant Gen. Wiley, who 80 ably and at 30
great sacrifice, served his country in
the hour of her great need and Major
Mckinley was nominated by acclama'
tion, for the good reason that he had no
opposition. A gigantic attempt was
made to have the people believe that the
convention was one of the largest and
most enthusiastic ever assembled. In
terviews were telegraphed to the city
papers, and every little politician made
to blow his "bazoo"
Capt. Mcclure, the Wooster postmaster
was on hand, with his usual bag of vi.
tuperation which he let loose with his
accustomed eCIdt. He was unusually
vulgar, but was cheered Justify. Major
Mckinley appeared with his prepared
speech, which he proceeded to wind off
to the edihCation of his place, men and
admirers. He tried to endorse every
thing and commit himself to nothing.
His speech was milk and water affair
throughout-at whose expense we are
unable to say-in the Cleveland Herald
and his own organ, the Canton REPOSITORY
yet it has fallen 80 fiat it will never be
heard of more. He made a lusty bid for
the Greenback vote, and claimed him.
self and the Republican party to be the
only true defenders and preservers of
the GreenbaCk. The record of both, the
party and Mr.. Mckinley are against
them on this point. Even now, in vic.
lation of law, the Republican Secretary
of the Treasury is destroying all the le-
gal tender notes of small denominations
as fast as they return to the Treasury.
And Mr.. Mckinley voted at the last ses.
sion of Congress against the bill provi.
ding for the substitution of Greenbacks
for National Bank notes, and making
them receivable for customs, claims, etc,
against the Government, the bill provi.
ding carefully against contraction. He
voted against the Resumption Repeal
bill; and twice against bills to make legal
tender money receivable for customs
duties. And yet he would deceive the
people into believing that he is the friend
of the people and of che GreenbaCk. He
is unworthy the support of the masses,
and will be defeated by the people whom
he thus seeks to betray and deceive

THOSE FARM ENGINES.


Major Mckinley, in his serdnade
speech, made drive at what he called
"free trade" and gave a local illhstra-
lion, saying that Aultman & Co., make
an engine for farmers use for 81 600, and
that the same engine is made in Canada
for $500. He explained by saying the
Canada manufacturer got his steel IN the
United States, paying for it the same as
Aultman & Co., aud duty in addition.
The solution" said the Major sis easily
found, in the cheapness Of English la
Dor, the skilled workmen in Canada
commanding 81 90 per day, and the un-
skilled laborer so cents"
And taking the Majors own data this
explains the $500 extra that our farmers
are required to pay for engines over the
farmer in Canada Assuredly this should
satisfy our farmers with the Majors sys-
tenn of protection |" The Major fears
that free trade" as he calls it, would
admit the 500 engines from Canada, a,and
our farmers would be foolish enough to
buy them in preference to the same en-
CINE at 81 900.
Major Mckinley was not candid
enough to state that no Democrat propp-
ses free trade" The Major knows that
Woods bill proposed nothing of this. 1t
was only step in the right direction
towards a revenue tariff, which means
taxing imports for the purpose of raising
money for the Government, not for the
whole and sole purpose of putting mill
lions into the pockets of a favored few,
as is the case in tariff for protection.
This tariff for protection invariably
robs labor, and ultimately ruins trade
and prostrates business, as we see now.
Under a Democratic revenue tariff our
trade with Canada increased rapidly and
benefited both countries. The Repub.
lican protective" (restriCtive) tariff de-
prived the country of that and other
markets, injuring ourselves, and, of
course, other countries.
We do not wish to be understood as
admitting that Major McKinley's data
are right, or that his conclusions are
right. In all justice, he ought to have
stated that, in Canada, they are satisfied |
with smaller profits. Besides, we do not
think he was helping our manufacturing |
industries by proclaiming that the same
engine that costs $1,000 here is sold in
Canada for but $500! Even Republican
farmers may be set to thinking, and in.
quire why they should be made to pay
$500 more than the farmer across the
lake. The Major, we fear, is not astute
enough to handle as crooked thing as
a tariff for protection, Like edge tools
in some hands, it may be dangerous.

MAJOR MCKINLEY's Repository seems
bent on bitter personal campaign. This
is manifest from their malicious filings
against Gen. Wiley; and from their low
slang and epithets generally, especially
at the editor of this paper, who, however,
cares nothing about them, as they only
show the lack in the poor heads now
doing the "Lupher fill" business for that
unlucky and unfortunate Republican
organ,
