THE Repository loves Malone; ii
wOrships those negroes South who
murder innocent white people on cleo
ton day, and says, "served them right.
The Repository gets quite angry when
we put its course into plain English and
say that sheet favOrs assassination. 1t
calls it "retributiOn," and thus seeks
to perpetuate the gospel of hate and
blood.
The two races South are getting along
harmOniOusly as a general thing. The
Southern people are successfully pro-
crossing in all departments of labor
and hence, are amassing wealth. This
harmony of the races only makes those
States more antagOnistic to the
sO-caIled Republican party whose
mission was and is one of hate, dissen-
sion, disunion in fact. In these respects
the party leaders have not improved
They seek not to cultivate good will.
Good will, harmony and peace between
the sections are not objects of Republi-
can alteration. At least these are not
objects with the Repository. 1t approves
of the negroes ''pIncturing" (murder-
ing innocent white people, calling 1T
"retributiOn."

CHICAGO people are complaining be
cause they often buy lard when they
wish to buy butter. This is due, it is
said, to the makers of "butterine," a
seeming butter whose chief ingredient
is lard. There is in that city company
called the Garden City Dairy Company,
that makes large quantities of this but
terine. 1t is put up in nice looking
rolls, prints, boxes and firkins, and
graded as dairy" and creamery" and
sells for from 2O1s to 81 cents per pound
by the wholesale. The Chicago GrOcers'
Bulletin holds that the nomenclature
employed, such as "rolls," prints" :"
dairy" and creamery" is fraudulent,
because the compound is nothing but
lard, and in no way entitled to
be ranked as butter or any sort of COM
pound made of milk. Although the
packages are all marked "butterine," it
is said the temptation with grOcers is to
hide the package and sell the compound
as butter, pure and simple. Wonder if
other cities are not imposed on also?
How this world is given to cheating.

THE Repository seems to favor yearly
license, of say $50, for the Opera House
covering all performances. 1t is said
this is the plan adopted in other towns
in the State. We understand the tax
permit to be based on the principle that
transient parties seeking to do business
in town in Ohio must pay tax before
they shall be permitted to engage in
public exhibitions. Parties engaged i'll
permanent business in any locality are
taxed on their business by averaging it
throughout the year. And, as we say,
transient parties giving performances
are required to pay tax by way of per-
nit. We do not understand then that
a yearly license" collected from the
proprietor of the hall meets the case in
question and the spirit of the law. Each
and every party, then, giving perform
ances or exhibitions is required, under
our law, to pay a permit tax. What
claim has the city upon the owner OF
the hall? He pays his tax on his real
estate, like other citizens. The tax
against a travelling company, CIV
ing a public exhibition is not
against the proprietor as such. We re-
gret to see the Repository pursuing such
a course as it is, for we do not so under
stand the law. Surely our citizens
want these travelling companies treated
fairly-the law construed literally, and
we are confident our authorities feel the
same way.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1881-11-17

THE Repository don't seem to approve
of Mayor PierO's prompt mode of collect
ing tax off the dramatic combinations
that give exhibitions in our city. 1t is
'Dick's" way of doing business, and he
don't propose the city shall be beat
much during his administration. Our
esteemed neighbOr don't seem to like it
at all. They will all like it better when
they get used to it. 1t is a new process
and sets rather hard at first. If anybody
voted for "Dick" PierO for Mayor think
ing he would not do his duty and en-
force the law, the man so thinking is
badly fooled.

THERE seems to be no doubt that in

THERE seems to be no doubt that in
fluences are at work in Washington
manipulating the Star route exposures
and prosecutions. The cloud of dust
raised will enable the criminals to es-
cape, for exposure would "hurt the
party" A Washington letter says:
mo one has yet volunteered the infOr-
nation why certain Star contractors,
participatOrs in the alleged iuiquity
equally with those whose names are fa-
miliar to the public as ''the cOnspira-
tors" have never been mentioned in
any way whatever. 1t is among the
things which some persons may regard
as singular in connection with the Star
cases, that from the first moment, and
at every moment to the present hour,
there has been at work an influence to
shield certain persons who would hold
on the record, if it were impartially
made up, a place precisely identical
with those who have been heralded as
the Swindlers."
A full and truthful history of the
manipulatiOns since last March would
be interesting.

AsTOR should have got Star Route
Dorsey to help him. These are the mil
liOnaiTe fellows who know how to ma
nipulate elections. Did they not man
age Indiana last year? Did they not
manage the Hayes administration and
make Star Routes great success, with
nine millions clear prOtit?-DemOcrat.
The exact amount of money which
the Democratic Congressman secured
from the Star Route gentlemen for de-
Tending and voting for the Star Route
contracts, will probably never be
known. That much of this money was
used in Indiana and other States there
is no doubt. But why won't the Demo-
crat admit that old Bill English car
ried Indiana for the Republicans? Why
not get down to rock bottom facts?
/ Repository.
So ! THAT much of this money was
used in Indiana and other States there
is no doubt" Well, that is an honest
cOnfessiOn-getting "dOwn to rock bot
tom facts"
As to how "Old Bill English gave
Indiana to the Republicans we do not
know; and as to Democratic Star Con-
gressmen being in cahOOt with the Star
Route gentlemen, we are equally
ignorant.

The Dakota scheme to get two addi-
tiOnal Republican Senators into the
Senate will hardly succeed. The Repub-
licans who are putting it up" count
without Malone and Davis, and with
out Malone and Davis, be it remember
ed, the Republicans cannot count. To
admit into the Senate two Stalwart Re-
publicans from a new bogus common
wealth would be to spoil the market for
Malone and Davis, and Malone and
Davis may be trusted not to give them
selves away"

A DISGRACEFUL break down was that
of the Star route prosecution at Wash
ingtOn. The Government authorities
let the grand jury adjourn without con-
sidering the Star route cases. These
Government lawyers there thought to
show their zeal by proceeding under the
old common law proceeding by informa-
tiOn. The court said, mo good" and
kicked this case against Brady out of
court. After months of preparation the
Government has been beaten on grounds
of its own choosing.

The Christiancy divorce case is full of
interest to the gossipping world at Wash
ingtOn and elsewhere. A week or two
ago a witness for Mrs. Christiancy testi-
fed that Giro, who had sworn that he
was the favored lover of Mrs, c., admit
ted to the said witness that the letters
alleged to have been written by her to
him were fOrgeries. But Judge Chris
tiancy identifies Their handwriting as
that of his wife. And now comes
HOratiO c. King, jr., in whose
custody the alleged letters from Mrs.
Christiancy to Giro were placed, and
testifies that she came to him (King),
asked to see the letters, was shown
them, read them, and made eXplana-
tiOns of them which practically ad-
mitted their genuineness. This testi-
mOny, from a credible witness, looks
very bad for Mrs. Christiancy. 1t would
indicate not only that she wrote the let
ters, but that she was guilty of subOrna-
tiOn of perjury. This discovery will
throw suspicion upon other testimony
which has recently been given in her
vindicatiOn.

plan to cure the defects of the existing

examiners, with chief to be appointed

Senate, and to be independent of bank

scribing the duties, oath of Office, bonds,
and penalties of such board. The
people would then know who were the
examiners and would hold them re-
