Persons when suffering from sickness,
next to the physician, are called upon to
place the greatest confidence in their
druggist, as upon his proper knowledge
of drugs and the correct cOmpOunding
of medicines depends the health and
often the life of the patient. One of the
most careful and competent of our
pharmaceutists is Mr.. NJ. Kapper, the
German druggist, whose store, one door
south of DumOnt's grocery, with an il
Illuminated mortar sign, is being largely
patrOnized by the public as one meriting
confidence. Mr.. Kapper is thoroughly
educated druggist and makes speciality
of the prescription business, of which
he enjoys large share. He also makes
the celebrated Hammamelis SuppOsitOT-
les, a certain cure for piles, and Glycer-
inc Cream for chapped hands and other
skin abrasiOns, to both of which we
have before called attention as being
meritOriOus articles.

THE people will watch the vote upon
the amusement license ordinance this
evening. If Boss McGregor's virulent
abuse does not succeed in beating the
Democratic COuncilmen into voting as
he dictates, will he read them out of the
party?-Schaefer in Rep. of Monday.
We never read anyOnein or out of the
party. By their acts and votes let them
be judged. The member of Council who
votes special privilege to Louis Schae-
fer to the injury of the city of Canton is
not doing what he was elected for, nor
Obeying the oath he took on becoming a
Councilman. "Them's our sentiments" +"
and we care not whom they hit and hurt.
One thing we do claim a little credit
for; and that is causing the learned gen.
tleman of the Judiciary Committee to
reconsider the bill as first reported, and
back down. Mr.. Fawcett two weeks ago
declared the bill constitutional and all
right, and on Monday evening reported
an entire change in the bill; and it was
in the new shape that it was rushed
through in violation of all parliament
tary ruling and decency, Mr.. Shields
having called Mr.. Wyant to the chair,
who was quite capable and willing to do
the dirty work for the Operatie editor of
the Repository. 1t was prudent in Mr..
Shields leaving the chair. He could
vote for his uncle's bill quite as we'll On
the floor.
We must admit, however, that we were
in error in claiming after the city cleo
tion last spring that it was an anti
Schaefer Repository victory! We claim
ed that it was IL to 3; on Monday
evening it was to 81 Councilman Rex
last week was fornenst, but had got con-
verted somehow. One members reason
for favoring Schaefer was that he pat
ronized him in his business. So it was
personal patronage; not principle nor
public INTEREST," That's what's the mat
ter with Hannah" and the rest!
One thing-it may be repealed! And
we now serve notice. Fair warning!

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

Does not seem to suit the fastidious or
gans of the Republican party. Not with
in our recollection did Democratic
platform, State OF National, suit these
gentlemen, or any of the old Federal
KnOw-Nothing kidney.
According to history, even Jefferson's g
platform did not please the delicate gen.
tlemen of that day, who preferred the
British monarchical plan Of government,
And in JacksOn's time we well remem-
Der the abuse heaped upon the old hero
for daring to stand up for Constitution
al, economical, and honest government,
Mr.. Tilden's management of the State
government of New York, when Cover
nor Of that State, has not saved him
either from a stream of vile personal
abuse.
But to return to the platform busi-
ness. Democratic platforms are based
are based upon the principles laid down
in the Constitution of the United States,
According to the preamble of the Con-
stitution, the object was "tO form a more
perfect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings OF
Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.'
1t will be seen then, that the Demo
cratic party is not organized to bestOw
special privileges; nor to grant mOnOpo-
lies; nor to take care of the rich that
they or the devil may take care of the
poor. The Democracy favor "equal and
"exact justice to all men, of whatever
"state or persuasion, religious or pOliti-
zeal"
These principles have not been re-
garded by the Republican party. Their
rule has built up mOnOpOlies; has COW
cred the land with special privileges in
every shape, that plunder labor and hon
est business. Hence the grip with which
they hold on to power, resembling In
this respect the established aristOcracy
of other lands. Corruption and fraud
are willing instruments and means in
their hands, with which to hold on to
power.
1t is not now government of the peo-
pie; but government by those who plum
der the people. A large proportion of
members of Congress are directly or in
directly interested in the mOnopOlies
and special privileges, granted or main
tanned by their own legislation! Where
all this will end is hard to say. As
President Arthur said in his late veto,
the evil perpetuates itself and grows
upon what it feeds.

LAWYER Fawcett, on small scale re-
minds US Of one of the London law firm
of Quirk, Cannon 6 Snap in Doctor
Warren's novel, "Ten Thousand year" "
On Monday evening Mr.. Fawcett claimed
as an amendment that which changed
wholly and entirely the character of the
bill. He is not the first specimen who
claimed substitute as an amendment.
We are surprised that Mr.. Shields and
Mr.. Hiner, both lawyers, permitted
Faweett to impose on the Council in
this way, and voted with him through
out. Was it absolutely necessary to
carry the scheme through on Monday
EVENING" Did the lord of the Opera so
commando The gentlemen named know
perfectly well that the 18th rule of the
Canton City Council was trampled under
foot by the rulings of the chair, (Mr.
Wyant)

THE Cincinnati Commercial, Repub-
lican does not favor Governor Fosters
last flop. 1t does not think the Cover
nor's flop will win. Itsays:
The extraordinary indiscretion of the
Governor in making such noise at this
time must be apparent to all cool OBJ
servers, and If the music of the campaign
is to be according to this alleged key
note, the result will be anything but a
triumph of the specialties of Sunday
and Temperance. The Democratic lines
will not be broken, and the Republicans
will be disorganized. Governor Foster
has already impaired the good influence
of the Republican Convention and re-
paired the damages the Democracy in
flicted upon themselves in the course of
their State Convention.
The Commercial is correct in saying
the Democratic vote will not be divided.
Only year ago this same Foster was
around swearing at the temperance vote,
calling it Iby contemplate names and
indulging in profanity. Democrats
understand Charles Foster and his
tricky hypocrisy.

The Republican party is in favor of
the taxation of the liquor traffic, and
that is the long and short of it. The
$4,000 now being scattered around
among the moss-covered Democratic
tOmbstones, ought to be in the public
Treasury in the shape of taxes, and a
great deal more besides. The principle
of fair taxation is the rule of even
handed justice in this case. The Demo-
cratic party, however, seems to be will
ing to fight the proposition for cOnsid-
eration.-RepOsitOry.
So it is a license, or Pond lawl In
years gone by the Republican party of
Ohio opposed license. If they favor
'fair taxation" they should at once
abolish the protective robber tariff, and
get down to an honest revenue tariff.
The only right that Congress has to tax
is for the purpose of revenue. Our
Constitution gives Congress no power to
tax the mass Of the people in order to
benefit few persons. There is no such
feature in that sensible document
Fair taxation" is EQUAL TAXATION, i'm
partial taxation.

THE interview of Gov. Foster pub
lished in the State Journal was intend
ed as bait to catch gudgeons. That
interview has meaty points about it that
might be overlooked by the careless
reader. For instance:
Their (the Germans) open hostility
to the proper observance of Sunday as a
day of rest" "their open defiance of
law" "their entire want of apprecia-
tiOn of the better sentiment of the coun-
try" "and their Indifference to the rapid
increase of drunkenness, misery and
crime, all combine to show that the
people of the State will be compelled to
encounter liquOr-dealer's rebellion"
The above was not Governor Fosters
song last year. He was then after the
German vote and the brewers money
and influence, and got it. He need not
slander German citizens now, since they
have discovered the treachery of himself
and the Poker Pond Legislature.
The Governor is mad at the German
Republicans quitting the party; and
now he falls from coaxing to abusing
and slandering. One thing they are
not, namely, hypOcrites. There is no
treachery in them.

THERE is considerable sense in the
following observation:
We do not want great navy or a
great army in this country for the poll
ticians to fool with. The practical poll
ticians have too much to manage al
ready. The true civil service reform
wO Id but cut down the numbers and
simplify the occupations of officials.
The less we have of government the bet
ter. "
Still it might be we'll to have a few
decent war vessels. They would come
handy in possible emergency. Almost
any little nation could drive us from
the water at present, and demOlish the
great cities on the sea coast before any
effective resistance could be made.-Re-
publican exchange.
Just let them try it. TOrpedoes, ex-
ploded by electric wires, would send
them sky high. This plan is cheap, and
effectual.
still, it might be we'll to have few
decent war vessels; but don't let Robe
son boss the job. Have some honest
man, none of the Robbersons.

COLONEL HUGH S. THOMPSON is the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
South Carolina. He had declined the
nomination, and tried to stop the bal
lOting for him, but without effect. The
regular" candidates were General Brat
ton and General Kennedy, and it was
supposed the contest lay between them;
but they were not entirely satisfactory
to the Convention, and when ThOmpsOn's s
name was introduced, it was received
with shouts of applause, and on the third
ballot he was chosen. The nomination
seems to have been good one. Colonel
Thompson has been State Superintendent
of common schools since 1876, and has
distinguished himself by his manage
ment of the school interests of the State.
He has given the cOlored as well as the
white schools careful attention, and by
his impartiality and liberality has won
friends among both races. His nOmina-
tiOn brings the educational interests of
the State, which he has so mnch at
heart, to the front; and it is said he will
receive very handsome support from
the colOred people themselves.

THE liquor interest has now become
thoroughly organized with the avowed
purpose of resisting the payment of tax.
Governor Foster at Elyria.
Payment of what taxP The tax law is
dead, killed by Republican Supreme
Court. The statement that anybody is
organizing to resist dead law is nom
sense. The liquor interest never objected
to the payment of a proper tax, as G
Foster knows very well. Governors
should ''tell truth and shame the, devil"

WE understand Mr.. Fawcett's long
and labOred legal argument on Monday
evening in Council was prepared with
care. 1t was delivered in his best style,
and his aim was to prove and justify
the whole scheme to rob the city
for the benefit of Schaefer. Do law5
yers study up and prepare such argu-
ments without pay? Had he no help in
the work? Was there nothing cooked
in the business? We are utterly aston

THE way the people of Canton were
sold out and given away last Monday
evening was simply shameful! Only
last winter, fair and honest license
ordinance was enacted, satisfactory to
the shows, but not to the grasping man
of the Opera House. This put into the
City Treasury three hundred dollars a
year or so. By the new ordinance Mr..
schaefer, for $50, may squeeze the blood
out Of the shows as he may wish. 1t is
great outrage on the city and on the
shows; and there Is a very common
opinion 1t has been a corrupt piece Of
business,

IT was a sad spectacle on Monday
evening to see the contest in the City
Council. Mr.. Schaefer made his pre-
pared speech, and Fawcett followed.
Our side was gallantly maintained by
Sherrick and Warner. But where were

elected to the Council that we might
have law and talent on our sideP Alas,
all dumb as oysters, except when voting
with Fawcett for the Lou schaefer
schemeI The lawyers were all against

1T was a part of the concocted pro-
gramme on Monday evening, we sup
pose, to have LOuSchaefer address the
Council in his own behalf, and allow no
one to reply. Had it been known the
Council would have allowed outsiders
10 discuss, the members, some of them,
might have heard something in the line
Of truth and consistency. The conspi-
Facy was quite successful; but, there
hes the right of repeaI-and appeal.

When first they counsel 70 deceive!

COUNCILMAN SHERRICK Indignantly
asks, why this haste?" The haste is
that the matter was in the committees
hands five weeks; was reported, and the
Solicitor had two weeks in preparing an
ordinance, and was again referred.
Please speak again, Brother Sherrick;
perhaps you were not understood
Schaefer in Rep. of Monday.
Brother Sherrick was understood /;
and some gentlemen are now better un-
derstOod. They were not elected to
serve Lou Schaefer and his organ. Mr.
Sherrick Indignantly asked: "Why this
''haste? Is this set up jobP"
We ask the Rep. and its opera editor
Wasn't it set up job? Five weeks in
Fawcett & Co.'s committee, who then
recommended that Lou Schaefer be a
privileged character? Well, this is not
the first time, to the injury of Canton.
We regret not being present to hear
the Opera man address the Council on
Monday evening. 1t was characteristic
and filled with false statements. His
claim that he has been paying the show
tax collected off tIOupes is simply un-
true, and he knows it; and the showmen
we'll know it. And yet the City Council
of Canton listened calmly to this har-
angue! He took them to Italy and France,
of course thinking of ,VOltaire!
The Opera performer should have re-
minded Mr.. Shields and others Of the
personal compliments he paid them last
spring, at his big meetings and through
his organ. How our friends must have
enjoyed it!
We are glad to say there were six
specimens of manhood and consistency
in the Council that would not bow the
knee to the Baal of the Opera!

A HUNDRED millions increase this ses-
sion in the appropriation bills will give
a snug little sum for the "party of moral
ideas" to use at elections. The Repub-
ncan party years ago invented method
of unlocking the public pocket for party
purposes, and it has drawn very liberal
ly whenever the needs of the party de-
manded such action.
Two years hence, in the Presidential
campaign, as two years ago, the party
will find some Star route gentlemen like
Dorsey and Brady, who are flush with
plunder.

THE Republican party in its cOnVen-

tion to this end.-Goyernor Foster at

such amendment, as they promised.
