~ Judge Williams has in
augurated a new economical
plan. When true bills arf
found by the grand jury OF The
court in session, the rule has
been TO commit the offender to
jail, if unable to give bond, and
his case would be set for trial at
the next term, the board and
other necessary bills incurred
during the intervening months
being paid by the county.
Judge W., by calling the case
at once, stops the expense, re-
lievos the witnesses of the ne
cessity of a second attendance,
and shortens the session Of the
court. We think that his course
is the right one.

DOES the Plain Dealer think it just the
square thing, figuring on Republican
majority of 5000 in Ohio, to give the
Democrats thirteen Congressman and the
Republicans only six?-HprdEd.
The vote in Ohio in 1876 was: Repub.
licans 330698, Democrats 1923 1872. Now
the Republican apportionment law Of
1872 gave the 330.598 Republicans four
teen members, and the 323.182 Democrats
sic members. Or in other words every
IL All Republicans we're given Con.
gresham, while only one Congressman
was allowed to each 81 1858 Democrats in
the State? If the Herald will show
where it ever Indicated any displeasure
over this gerrymandering, we will be
pleased to give it direct answer to its
question. We think, however, what is
sauce for the "gnose should be sauce for
the gander. ."-Plain Dealer.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-05-23

The Republican Congressional address
will be found in this paper. 1t shows
that the Republican members OF Con-
gress take the Potter resolution much TO
heart, pronouncing enquiry into the
Florida and Louisiana frauds as revolu-
tionary, and pronounces it an attempt to
"inaugurate anarchy, and Mexicani2e
the government" This scarcely agrees
with the emphatic declaration of Re-
publican Congressional CONT mittee Of in
vestigation in 1869, that "the power to
ito punish frauds in choosing Presiden-
"tial electors by the voters of the States
"is essential to the national existence,
"and inheres in the supreme govern
"ment."
In 1869 the Republican Union League
club were enraged at the electoral vote
of New York being cast for Horatio Sey'
mour, claiming it was done by votes ille-
galy cast in the city. The vote of New
York was not operative, as Grant was
elected without that State; but the Re
publican majority of the committee truly
said, 'in view of the great wrong perpe'
"trated against Republican institutions,
"and of the possibility that similar frauds
"in one great city may at some future
"time determine Presidential election,
"aud endanger the peace of the country,
ut is of the highest Importance that Con-
"gress, now forewarned of the danger,
"may ascertain if there be a remedy, and
iii not, speedily provide one"
If this was good doctrine with the Re-
publicans in 1869, it ought to be in 1878,
in case where there is ten million times
the cause for investigation that there
was in 1869. The Republicans investi
gated then, and did not provide remedy,
The Democrats now propose to investi-
gate, and will zee that remedy is se-
cured, and possibly an example made.

THE talk about another Fenian raid
into Canada alarms somewhat our Brit
ish neighbors. We doubt the truth of
the reporters. The Dominion govern
ment, no gever, seems to be getting ready
for any emergency. The interior of the
Government is to be fully prepared for
all emergencies. Four gunboats, provi-
ded with twenty-nine pound guns, and
manned with twenty.four gunners, are
ordered to the river st. Clair and Lake
Erie and Ontario, all the militia on the
frontier being supplied with arms and
ball cartridges, and the interior militia
ordered to hold themselves in readiness
to leave for the front at moments no.
tice. A battalion Of infantry at Kings
ton is to be converted into an artillery
guard from Kingston battery, to be sent
to Toronto to protect the military stores.
Four nine Founders are ordered to Pres
colt, a battery of artillery being formed
at that point, A new rifle corps will be
organized at Ottawa. The BarraCk and
Redhead batteries, st. John, New Bruins.
wick, have been supplied with forty.two
Founders. Partridge Island battery is
repaired and heavily armed, and Ft. Duff
ferin, New Brunswick, is supplied with
sixty-four Founders, riaed guns and thir.
ty.two Founders. In Nova Scotia new
batteries at those points, as we'll as Digby
and Sydney, Cape Breten, are equipped
with sixtY-two Founders. The battery
at Picton is also placed in a condition of
defense. A battery of heavy guns is or
dered at Victoria, Vancouver Island, to
command the Victoria harbor and Es-
quimalt. Colonel Irwin, of the Royal
Artillery, has been dispatched to place
this battery in an effective state.

THE Washington Post of yesterday
says: The committee will be assigned a
room, and will begin the investigation at
once. The intention is to conduct the
examination with open doors; the com.
mittee resel wing the right to hold secret
sessions whenever they may deem it ad
visable. Open doors, however, does not
mean that the public generally will be
admitted. Proper accommodations will
be provided for reporters, and the gen.
eral public will have to depend upon
the press tor an account of what trans.
pires. There is already on hand lot
of documentary evidence which is to be
submitted to the full committee here in
Washington. As soon as that evidence
is in, sub committees will be appointed,
one to go to Louisiana and Florida. It is
claimed that all the evidence can be ta-
ken and the report prepared in time to
present before Congress adjourns.

TEE Pennsylvania Republicans have
made a serious mistake in selecting COL
Hoyt as their candidate for Governor,
and defeating Mr.. Grow. Col. Hoyt has
no elements OF popularity, and no spec
ial fitness for the Office. His nomination
is wholly due to the fact that he is a sue
cessful manager and machine politician
who had claims upon the Cameron Re-
genCy for long and faithful services. Don
Cameron in reality made the nomination
and not the Republican party. II Cam.
eron had not become convinced that the
Nationals would draw more heavily
from the Democrats than from the Re-
publicans, and that his nominee was safe
whoever he might be. Hoyt would not
have been chosen.-Ci Cleveland Herald.

OUR WAN LIKE PFRIoD.

There is not more bloody period Of
twenty-five successive years mentioned
in history, than the twenty-five years
that expire with the present May. The
Crimean war began in the autumn Of
1868, and lasted till the spring of 1856.
Then came short and sharp war be-
tween England aud Persia, and in 1857 s
the sepoy war, one Of the ferCest con-
flicts ever waged in the East. The Ital.
ian war, in which Sardinia and France
were parties, against Austria, occurred in
1859, and the Garibaldian wars, out Of
which proceeded the kingdom of Italy,
in 1860. Our own destructive civil war
then followed then the war of Brazil
with Paraguay then in 1866 the Austrio
Prussian war, in which Italy and the
Germanic Confederation took part, and
in which some fifteen hundred thousand
men were engaged, In 1870 occurred
the great war between France and Ger
many. The Russo-Turkish war began
in the spring of 1877. 1t is unnecessary
to mention various minor conflicts which
have occurred in other countries Those
referred to have been on an enormous
scale. While much has been done for
science and the arts in the last twenty
FIVE years, the invention for the devel-
opment of war is equally wonderful. The
most destructive instruments of war have
been produced in that time that were
ever known, Even steam, railways, ,elec
tricity and other agencies Of peace have
been used to give greater effectiveness to
war. 1t is possible that the human race,
outside of Turkey, are becoming more
civilized, but the millennium has not yet
arrived,

BLOODY SHIRT TMADD1E.


This recent Republican Convention
makes the following the cornerstone oi
it's platform, and expects to impose it on
the masses as a reality. We give it vsr-
bdtim:
That we are now as ever opposed to
the payment of claims from the National
Treasury to those lately engaged in or
sympathizing with the rebellion. No
Conqueror should be forced to pay indem-
nifty to conquered, and the presentation
Of bills, demanding over $90000000O at
the present session of the Democratic
House, is warning to the country ofthe
cost, and danger of retaining in power a
party whose chief aim is to make repri-
sails on the taxpayers for losses aUhich the
crime of treason brought upon the South
ern people.
Now, the fourth section of the -Four.
teenth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, which cannot be
changed by Congress, recites, Neither
the United States, nor any State, shall
assume or pay any debt or obligation in
cured in aid of insurrection or rebel
lion against the United States, or claim
for the loss or emancipation of any slave,
but ALL such debts, obligations and claims
shall be illegal and U0id."

THERE'S lack of harmony between

large stockholder in the Leader. In fact,
they are posted as to each other.

DEMOCRATIC DEFENSE OF THE RE.
DISTRICTING JOB,

The President cannot be reached by
the people for four years,a United States
Senator for six years, and member of
Congress for two years, but State gers
rymander must be held sacred for ten
years, no matter how unjust it may be, or
how completely it may suppress the will
of the majority. There is no democracy
or republicanism in that. The measure
adopted by the Democratic Legislature
is far fairer than the one repealed. 1t
will give to each party its full measure of
Justice according to its popular strength.
The party that the people Of the State are
really with will carry majority of Con.
gressmen. Gin. Enquirer Oem.).
