The North American ReUieW for Feb

advocating the NiCarauga Canal project.
The genial Autocrat Of the Breakfast
Table, Oliver Wendell Holmes, follows
with an essAy, entitled "The Pulpit and
Pew" written in TIE best spirit of the
Christian philosopher, in which he en-
deavors to show the need he believes to
exist for the revision of the prevalent
theological creeds. Under the quaint
title of "Aaron's Rod in Politics." A. W.
Tourgee emphasizes the obligation i'm
posed upon the Republican party by the
Chicago platform, of making provision
for educating illiterate voters. James
Freeman Clarke makes valuable con.
tribution to the discussion of the author
ship of Shakespere's plays. The serious
evils that may result from the partisan
character of the U. s. Supreme Court
are pointed out by Senator John T. Nor.

WE learn that Probate Judge Helden-
brand is likely to lave serious opposi-
ton to his nomination as Probate Judge
for the fourth consecutive term. Some
of the younger Republicans are beCom.
ing tired Of that same old crafty coon;
and think there are other men in the
party worthy of consideration. They
are asking thehiselves-why and where
fore shall the Republican party of Stark
county be run for the benefit of one MANI
Why keep one family in the best county
offices forever? Why not try something
else for a changer
There are younger Republicans who
are considering these matters, and they
may take shape and break the wires that
run from the Probate Office, and that are
pulled 50 srtfully. Nous Uerrons,

THREE weeks of the Ohio General AS
sembly have passed and little or nothing
been done. It is to be hoped this will
not continue, and that they will soon
proceed to business in earnest. The Lo-
cal Option question seems to be troubling
them. 1t is claimed that year ago
many of the members promised the tenn
perance people that this session, being
their final session, they would pass Lo-
cal Option. This promise may have been
made merely to bridge over the Presi'
dental election. If 30, it is chicken
that will come home to roost. An ex-
change says;
"The Republican Legislature proposes
to put off the local option people with q
constitutional amendment, saying that
the Legislature may pass local option
law. This is a Cowardly subterfuge only
worthy of the sneaking, hypocritiCal rar
ty that the Republican party has confess
sedly become. The Legislature has the
power to pass the law now if it will, and
the Republican party has declared itself
in favor of such law. Why cot pass it2
Why dodge behind a Constitutional
amendment, which cannot be adopted,
and if it were, would leave the question
Just where it is now2 Why do the Re.
publican organs keep silence on the ques-
tion2 Why do they refrain from allud.
ing to it2 The party has made distinct
promise it would pass this law when it
could. Why not pass it nowP Is it
afraid2 Is the party of "great moral
ideas" too cowardly to make good its
promisek2"

In the California State Senate last
week concurrent resolutions were report,
ed which protest against the ratification
of the new Chinese treaties. The first
resolution, by Senator GlasscoCk, deClar.
ed there was no method to determine
who were laborers from China and who
were visitors, and also held that the
treaty should have been couched in Ian.
gusge that would have forever settled
the matter. The second resolution, by
Senator Davis, alluded to the clause al
lowing the Chinese the same privileges
in the United States as the most favored
Of any other nation, thus Confelring upon
them the right of naturalization. The
resolutions were debated during the day
the contest being almost strictly parti'
san one, the Republicans being against
and the Democrats in favor Of the adop-
tion of the resolutions, Finally the en-.
tire matter was laid on the table by a
vote of 20 to II.

TIE bill to refund some $3.50, 900 Of 5
and per cent bonds falling due this
year, passed the House on Wednesday,
last week, by vote of 1876 ayes to 1876
nays. The clause fixing the rate of in.
terest at 3 per cent instead of 81 was
agreed to, ayes 149 to 104 nays. Both
these votes were party votes, the Demo
Gratis voting for the bill and the lower
rate Of interest, and the Republicans
against Some of the Greenbackers uni
ted with the Republicans on the final
vote against the bill. The bill as it goes
to the Senate provides:
]. For the issue of $4OO, ,OO0 900 per
cent, fve-.en bonds, and 100000 900 cer-
tifcates in denominations of $40, 500 and
$50, bearing 8 per cent interest, redeem
able in one and payable in ten years.
2. The Secretary of the Treasury, at
his discretion, is authorized to use $50.
100000 Of gold and silver coin in the
Treasury, in the redemption Of the five
and six per cent bonds falling due.
8. The expenses of issuing the bonds
and certificates are limited to one fourth
Of one per cent.
4, After May l, the 8 per cent bonds
will be the only bonds receivable as SO.
curity for National bank circulation, or
as security for public deposits in Ma
tional banks.
1t is the general opinion that the SEN
ate will either increase the ratv of inter
est to three and a half per cent, or make
the bonds long bonds; that is, payable in
twenty years.

REPUBLICANS are uneasy that the Cen.
trail Insane Asylum has gotDr. Firestone
at it's head as superintendent, he being
a Democrat. There is no disputing the
Doctors high qualities, but that makes
no difference, so long as he is not Re.
publican. The fact is, if the Republican
leaders were intent on doing their duty
to the taxpayers ofthe state, they would
attend to the Penitentiary, where incom.
potency and decentralization reign su
preme. The Orphans Home at Xenia
has become the seat Of filthy scandals,
and reformation there is badly needed.

AS the Annie P. Silver was on her way
up the Mississippi river near New Mad.
rid, Saturday, a young man who had gone
insane through sickness, got the idea he
was being carried by his landing place.
He pulled pistol and shot at the texas
tender, then rushing forward to the
wheel house, shot and instantly killed
Daniel Blake. second clerk Of tie Silver,
and attempted to shoot Mark Burnham,
the pilot. Burnhsm grappled with him,
however, and with the aid of the passen.
gers he was secured. His hands were
beaten to a jelly before he would give
up his pistol. Blake was a cousin Of Mr..
John F. Blake of our city.

THERepublican Legislature of Indiara a
has just had some trying experience
with the female sex. 1t seems for the
Office of State Librarian there were only
81 female applicants, embracing sis.
ters, cousins and aunts. 1t took thirteen
ballots in caucus to decide that Mrs.
Emma Ames Windsor was the lucky W..
man. According to all accounts, "the
state never before witnessed such an ex.
asperatiDg, disgusting scramble for pet
ty Office" many of the ambitious women
working with a will, and giving evidence
of an amount of brass astonishing to the
afflicted male members.

CENrRALIzED POWER

We have often referred to the tenden-
cy, under Republican rule, to the CEN
tralization of power, and with this to
the display of royalty in all its paudy
rottenness.
The attempt to establish Napoleonic
Imperialism at Washington cropped out
during Grants first term, with Babcock'
"Boss" Shephsrd and others as leading
ornaments At Grants secoud Inaugural
ton there was quite a display of troops;
and the West Point Cadets were present
for the first time in history.
Judging by what we see announced, it
would seem that Gen. Garfeld's inaugu'
ration is to be grand military affair; a
large detachment of o.. s. troops being
already ordered to Washington. From
many of the states, too, are invited soci-
cites and volunteer soldiers.
1t would seem that clique Of office
holders aud Office seekers are at the
head Of the movement, and Of course
they expect to be prominent and profit
thereby. A grand Inauguration ball will
be given, and decorations and parades
will be in order, involving heavy ex-
pense. 1t is said the main expense will
be paid by taxing the clerks in the de-
partments. These we're the victims Of
three forced levies during the late cam
paign. These poor victims dare not re-
fuse to pay lest they lose their places.
In 1901 Thomas Jefferson had no such
display. He rode to Washington on
horseback unattended; took the cath OF
office as President, and after that went
to the Executive manlion by himself.
This plainness and simplicity does not
suit the present so.Called Republican
party. This party is building up an ar
istcCracy of wealth, and want large
standing army, with display, show and
expense. 1t all reminds US of Louis Ma
poleon's rotten empire.

THANKs to DR.. ]. Strong, superintend-
ent Of the Cleveland Asylum for the in.
sane, for a pamphlet copy Of the
twenty. sixth annual veport Of that insti.
tuition. Dr.. strong's report to the Trus.
tees is full and elaborate. He ably dis.
Cusses various points in the treatment Of
the insane, comparing our treatment
with that in other countries. From the
extracts given as to the treatment Of the
insane in Belgium and Scotland, we
judge that the cost in this country ia
much greater.

The Pep. in old Know Nothing days
did not believe in white mems equality;
but the old thing has progressed so far
as to believe black is white, and that
there is perfect equality of race in the
human family. Its motto used to be-
"Put none but Americans on guard
that is, the Rep wanted no Germans or
Irish in the mix. Tom and the leaders
used to "damn the Dutch and Irish, "and
did not care much about the niggers.
But since Toms experience South as
quartermaster he is a great admirer of
the Colored population. He don't much
admire the Irish and Dutch, though, even
yet. Tom is a progressive animal.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1881-01-27

AGAIN the Democratic papers have
raised the cry that the country .cannos
stand such prosperity, and thata panic is
bound to follow. There is no philosophy
that teaches adversely shall follow PROF.
perity, Adversely follows waste, but
prosperity does not necessarily engender
waste. Anything for cry. When one
subject is worn out another is taken up.
The Democrats only write to condemn,
and to fit a certain ignorant chanI el.
Watterson, Of the Courier Journal, is yet
hlmmering h away at the tariff question.
He and his party had plenty Of time to
discuss this point when it could have
been made an issue, but, fearing to air it
in the light of day, they reserve it as
basis for growlin~.-CleUe Leader
The evil prophets are leading Repub-
licans, Mr. Leader, such men as Jay
Gould, proprietor oil the N. Y. Tribune;
Secretary of the Treasury John Sher-
man, and olher leaders Of the Republi-
can party. The Leader seems to have
forgotten the panic Of 1878. and the de-
preston and hard times that followed.
AS for the tariff question, it is quite
proper to hammer at it until it is prop
erly understood. The tariff is a tax lev
led by the government upon imports to
raise revenue. Our government has
right to tax for revenue only" This
right OF taxation is limited for the pur-
pose Of revenue. Will the Leader claim
that our government has the right to tax
the people in order to put money into
the pockets Of few individuals2 The
Constitution Confers the power on Cor
gress, ito lay and collect taxes, duties,
imposts and excises to pay the debts and
provide for the general welfare" This
gives no power to rob Peter to benefit
Paul, and call it protection"
