MCGREGoR thinks a net profit of
$1,000 is not good showing for the
Ohio Penitentiary under Republican
rule. Well, we are inclined to take the
same view of it, but still, it is better
than deficit of from $1,000 to $1,000,
as shown under Democrat management.
Let us hope that in another year the
present management will get the big
machine out Of the Democratic ruts, and
show profit of at least $4,000. The
Penitentiary never paid expenses until
placed under Republican management.
Il Alliance Review.
Our cOtempOrary should state that
under Democratic management there
were several hundred more cOnvicts
than at present; these Several hundred
were not employed, the shop room not
being sufficient. All the facts are i'm
pOrtalt in such comparisons.

GAMBETTA last week announced his
ministry, and before the Chamber of
Deputies announced his policy as fol-
lows: ''We desire policy which will
advance gradually and wisely toward re-
form. We rely on finding a majority
which will afford us its frank support
in both Chambers, and upon disci-
plined public service. We propose to
reform the judicial system, perfect ma
tiOnal education and complete the mill
tary Legislation. We wish, by means of
treaties, to extend our commercial re-
latiOns. We wish to strictly follow the
provisions of the COncOrdat, and to
maintain peace at home and abroad.
These reforms will suffice, and enable
us to reach fresh stage of progress"

SENATOR SHERMAN says that the most
important work at the coming session
of Congress will be the reduction of the
national taxes, the revision Of the tariff,
Improvements and a better regulation
of Presidential elections. He says that
these are all nOn-partisan measures, and
should be discussed in IL proper spirit,
without caucus dictatiOn.- -MassillOn
Independent.
To these should be added civil service
reform, so that Presidents need not be
murdered by Office seeking cranks. Re-
vision of the tariff is what the Democracy
have been urging for years, and it should
be a nOn-partisan measure, with view
to Justice This revision would involve
a reduction of the national taxes. A
better regulation of Presidential cleo
tiOns is also needed, so that visiting
statesmen" like Sherman, NOyes and
others. could not, through bribery, per-
jury and fraud, count in the defeated
man as President.

THE prosecution closed in the Guiteau
case Monday, and the criminal was per-
mitted to open on his own behalf, but
only made brief speech, which in
dicated there is much method in his
madness. Then Mr.. ScOville commenced
the formal opening, but was granted an
early adjournment before completing
his speech. Mr.. S. seems to be winning
favorable opinions on all sides for the
judiciOus way he is discharging his I'M
gracious duty. The defense was insanity
and nothing else, and he put this point
in a strong way.

The Repository the other day eXult-
ingly prOclaims that Stark county is a
reliable Republican county. We admit
the conclusion if, as was the case this
year, Democrats do nOtturn out and vote.
But our esteemed cOtempoTaTy should
remember that even this year Demo-
cratic Probate Judge and Democratic
Sheriff were elected. This would show
that Stark county is by no means 1Xed
in the embrace of the HalibreedStal-
waTt Republican party. We may say
that the Democrats of Stark will try
conclusions with their political OppOn-
ents, and expect to demonstrate the er-
rOneous judgment Of the Mckinley or
gan. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world to be mistaken about elections.
There are few places in this country
where the majority is fixed affair 1t
may De in the kingdom of Cameron; but
even this year the Cameron machine
barely escaped the Wolfe.
In Stark county it is Lexington town
ship (AIliance) that gives the Republican
party a majority; just as the old Federal
Connecticut Western Reserve gives them
the state. 1t is true, since 1877 Stark
county has gone Republican. The DEM
Ocratic party is very different from the
Republican party. Our party suffers
for individual errors; whereas
nothing of the sort seems to
injure the Republican party.
Harper's Weekly few weeks ago thus
caustically admitted the honesty of the
partisan editor, and illustrated the
course of such:
If Ananias be nominated upon plat
form of falsehOOd, we must support
Ananlas to keep the party in power. If
Jeremy Diddler buys regular nOmina-
tiOn, we must hurrah for Diddler and
the public faith, that the party of honesty
may not be defeated. When the Irish
man rode in a sedan chair without a
bottom, he remarked that, except for the
name of the thing it was very much the
same as walking; and to stump for
AnaniaS and to vote for DiddleT seem to
be very much the same as supporting
the party of falsehOOd and of dishonesty.
70 cling to the party regardless of the
of the party; to suppose that
4 regular nomination can make political
5harperS and pettlfOggers and traders
lit for public trust because they do not
pick pockets and burn barns, is TO follow
Jhe banners and the bugles, the glitter
ing arms and the serried ranks of the
army because it is the army, and whether
hey march to defend liberty or to de-
;tTOy it.
And this same sage counsellor a year
before, was urging upon the people of
he United States the Importance of
'lecting Arthur Vice President, not be-
.ause he is honest or capable, for he con-
,eded the reverse, but for the reason he
vas the regularly nominated candidate,
upon a platform of falsehOod." Mr..
IeOrge VIM. Curtis is about the most
humbug in these United
states, but more prominent humbug
han the humbugs of the Mckinley
rgan.

A GOOD WEEKLY PAPER

Is better than poor one and weekly
paper made up from daily is not as
good, as a general thing, as where it is
made up by direct attention.
Much of the hash in daily paper
becomes somewhat stale and insipid for
the weekly. The sensational stuff, gen
orally spun out, in the daily, takes up
space, and by the time the weekly gets
around, has often lost its sensational
character. At all events it has lost its
interest to a great extent Hence it is
that a first-class weekly paper is rarely
found, where it is made up out of the
hash OF daily. Observing readers are
well aware of all this.
With our new type and the weekly
STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT Teceiv-
ing our undivided attention,
we hope to make the paper
more acceptable than ever before.

CAPT. JOHN ERICSSON'S new vessel, the
Destroyer" was made to give public
exhibition in the New York harbOr re-
Gently. under the supervision of Mr..
Ericsson. The vessel is described as cyl
indrical, capable of quickly moving in
either direction, swift of speed, and of
very light draught. The destroyer" is
only one hundred and thirty feet in
length, twelve feet in its greatest
breadth. and draws only eleven feet of
w.Ier when almost wholly submerged.
1t is effectively armOred, but its princi-
pie of safety is in being put under water
so as to resist an enemy's shot, and pre-
sent but the smallest mark for the bat
terry practice of an opposing vessel. Its
destructiyeness consists in firing an eX
plOsiye torpedo charged with three hun
dred and fifty pounds of dynamite from
a gun of force enough to penetrate the
heaviest armOr that can be flOated. The
construction is such that the gun can
be fired under water. An automatic
valve prevents the admis sion of water
to the muZzle. 1t is securely and easily
loaded at the breech, and is fired by
electricity. Such vessel, moving
swiftly and nOiselessly, not betraying
its presence by either smoke or sail, and
presenting no mark to an enemy, would
prove destructive to the heaviest iron
cads now atlOat. TO all appearances it
cannot be successfully met except by a
vessel of IFS own kind Surh is thp
opinion of those who have examined the
destroyer and witnessed the opera
tiOn Of its machinery and gun. In view
Of the destructive powers claimed for
this new war vessel, foreign nations
may as we'll sell their expensive armOr-
ed vessels to dealers in old junk, and
begin their work of construction anew.

THE controversy between Conkling and
Robertson over the unit rule in the New
York delegation to the Chicago conven-
tion, has come to an open rupture in the
executive and legislative halls Of the ad-
ministration. The war over the appoint
ment of Robertson as collector Of the
port of New York, precipitated the res
ignation of the New York Senators. The
average Ohio Republican will kick up
hi heels in transports of joy at the an
nouncement of what his press considers
the overthrow of Roscoe Conkling. In
the distribution of New York patronage,
Mr. Garfield assured the Senator "that
change in the custom house officers of
New York was not contemplated" Two
days later, without the knowledge OF
Postmaster James, the Vice President,
or either of the New York Senators, Mr..
Garfield removed Merritt, and nominal.
ed Robertson collector of the port. Tnis
was taking an undue advantage OF them,
aud the act was in direct violation of III }
officially expressed civil service reform
IDEAS of the President, though in keep
ing with his moral record and vascillating
nature, Great pressure has been brought
to bear to place the Senators at disad-
vantage with the administration, and
they pursued what they considered the
proper course in order to maintain their
selfrespect. The Republican press says
that the motives of the gentlemen are to
be returned by the Legislature to the
National Senate, as vindication of their
position, and a reproof to Blaine and
Garfield. But the Republican press
never guessed that they would resign, no
more can it guesees their motives now.
The quarrel is purely Republican, and
Demo- rats can view it with unconcern.
Conkling's conduct has certainly been
the most manly of the two belligerent
powers, and if the Republican party de-
cides to ostracise him, it will destroy the
b,alns of its organization, but like Ban
quo's ghost, he will not down.-ButIer
