THE Youngstown Vindicator of last
week recommends JOHN 6. WARWICK,
Esqr., of MassillOn, as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this district.
No better man could be taken up, and
we are confident, if Mr.. Warwick will
accept, it will be well pleasing to Dem
Gratis everywhere, to say nothing of hun
dreds of others in the district, who are
not in the clutches of the Mckinley ma
chine. Mr.. Warwick is thOrough-go-
ing, energetic business man of MassillOn,
noted for ability and high character. He
is deservedly popular at home, and would
make the strongest possible candidate
for Stark county.

purpose.

The East Liverpool lockout continues.
Nine whiteware pOtteries remain shut
down on account of their refusal to en-
ploy members of the order of knights of
Labor. The following article has been
handed to the men for their signatures
before they can return to work:
We, the undersigned parties in con-
tract for our mutual understanding, do
hereby agree to the following conditions,
work for C. d. 81 Co., of this place, at the
regular customary prices, and do my
work in a good and wOTkmanlike man
ner. In consideration of which we, the
said c. D. & Co., the second party in the
contract, do agree to pay to the said A.
B., for his labor every two weeks, as is
customary. We, the above said parties,
do mutually ignore the authority of any
outside party, committee or association,
in the condition or performance of this
contract, which can only be dissolved
by either of the parties giving two
weeks notice to the other party, in con-
tirmatiOn of which we subscribe our
names.
The men told their recent employers
that A. G. Rankin was in town, and they
were ready for an amicable adjustment
of the difficulty. The employers, how
ever; declined to have anything to do
with Mr.. Rankin or any other represCn-
tatiVe of the order, preferring to deal
with the men directly. There are about
$50 men out of work on account of the
lockout, which has lasted since June 16.

The River and Harbor bill as amended

THE River and HarbOr bill as amended
by the last Committee of Conference,
passed both Houses of Congress last
week. 1t appropriates $1s, 1884, ,875. This
bill of infamy and spOils contains the
following among other items:
Appropriations for surveys and i'm
prOYements of rivers and harbOrs: Elk
river, W. Va, $1,000; Great Kanawha
river, W. Va, continuing improvement
and operation of works, $20O,0O0; con-
tinuing improvement of Little Kanawha
river in W. Va, to complete lock and
dam as estimated for by engineers, $751;
600; GuyandOtte river, W. Va, $1,000;
improving Ohio river ,$350OO0; Sandusky
river. Ohio, $4,000; Allegheny river, Pa,
$4,000; examination and surveys, and
for contingencies, and for incidental re-
pairs of haTbOrs for which there is no
special appropriation, $150,000.
The bill provides the work of imprOy-
ing the Mississippi from its mouth to
Des MOines Rapids shall be prosecuted
under the direction of the Mississippi
River Commission as originally pro-
posed by the House, instead of by the
Secretary of War, as subsequently pro-
posed by the Senate.
Appropriations for surveys of the Hen
nepin and Delaware and Chesapeake
canals were finally fixed at $4,000 for
the Hennepin and $4,000 for the Della
ware and Chesapeake, with a prOyisO
added in each instance that the Govern
ment shall not be committed by these
appropriations in favor of proceeding to
the construction of canals.
The bill had been defeated in the
House two days before by vote of SO to

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND INFAMOUS.

The proposed Schaefer ordinance before
the Council, puts no restriction on Mr..
Schaefer as to the amount he may exact
from each of the hundred trOupes, more
OF less, that he may get into his clutches
during each year.
According to this, the Council, by pass
ing this proposed ordinance, will dele
gate to an individual the power to tax
without Limitation OF restriction. This
they cannot legally do, according to a
well established principle.
Our law makers are mere agents, del
gates or representatives, with certain
limited and defined powers as to passing
laws, and assessing and levying taxes,
and cannot transfer this power to an
other. We pronounce this Schaefer job
unconstitutional, illegal, infamous. We
emphatieally ask our city COuneil:-Will
you DARE to pass it?
This bill is drawn in the interest and
for the benefit of one man, and no one
else. 1t is purely and wholly then a
personal measure, and if the Judiciary
Committee, composed of Messrs. Hiner
and Fawcett, lawyers, and Mr.. Warner,
not lawyer but a man of sense, will
take the trouble to examine the Consti-
tuition of Ohio, they will find there no
warrant for any such personal scheme
or job. If these learned attorneys pre-
fer to serve Mr.. Schaefer, we shall see by
their report, and possibly some reasons
therefor. Let these learned gentlemen
give a reason for their course, or back

When an attack is made upon the Speak

Robson conducted the negotiations
that resulted in the contract by which
Mr.. KeifeT received the vote of the Penn

the election. Mr.. Robson reaped his
reward. He was put ou all the commit

friends and favOTites were rewarded with
good positions in the most remarkable
list of House committees ever patched
up by any Speaker. And Mr.. Robson
has gratefully "run" the Speaker ever

JUDGE LAUBiE's card, which we gave
last week. withdra wing as candidate
for Congress, fully sets forth and makes
the charge that a respectable Republi-
can cannot secure the nomination and
be elected to Congress in this district.
1t is just this same state of things in
Pennsylvania that has caused the bolt
and the Independent Republican organi-
zation there. Is it not time the same
corrupt state of things in this district
were broken up?

ARAB PAsHA has called a great con-

hammedans and Christians, who have
declared they will defend Egypt to the
last. They charge English sailors with
Outraging Egyptian women at Alexan-

judgment of the Porte, and this adds
another difficulty TO the Sultan's trou-

Is it not a singular fact that the
original founders and great leaders of
the Republican party all left it. The

1T is singular indeed, that the legal
Iuminaries in our City Council, Fawcett
& Co., with their judiciary minds, pro-
pose granting a yearly fifty dollar
license to the proprietor of the Opera
House. A license is privilege; that is,
for fifty dollars a year the Opera House
magnate shall have the privilege ofleyy-
ing such tribute off amusement COM
panies as he, in his selfish nature, shall
see proper. And those legal lights say
it is constitutional They do not claim
it is right in the abstract, nor right to
the city. The showmen, of course, will
suffer; but free admission will count.

proper andimagna ninOus for the Council
to abolish entirely the show amusement
ordinance and allow the Operatic trOupes

This is strong statement of case

for the Tariff Commission:
"Mr. j. s. Moore has been moved to
communicate to the New York Evening
Post certain interesting facts connected
with the consumption and the prices of
quinine. In series Of tables he shows
that in the three years begun July 1st,
1876, and ended June Both, 1879, the
average price of quinine, with duty of
twenty per cent, was $3.46 per ounce.
In the succeeding three years, during
which there has been no import duty on
the drug, the average price has been
$3.50 per ounce. Mr.. Moore, assuming
that not less than four million ounces
of quinine have been consumed in the
country during the period when nc
duty has been paid, claims that the diff
ference in average cost, ninety-three
cents per ounce, has saved to fever
stricken people $3,73O,OOO all of which
would have gone into the hands of
few manufacturers"

on the increase and augments with every

long to be remembered hereabouts, and an

were really as nothing when compared
with the importation and successful exhibit
ton of Jumbo, whose departure from
the English isle was regretted by the
Queen, Prince of Wales and every soul
almost in England. Indeed the remonstrance
was of the most extraordinary character

beast which surpasses belief. Since here
