WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

1t Is apparent that the great shipping
ring, of which John Roach is head con
trolls the Naval Department. This is
the interest which secured the enmity
of Secretary Chandler against COmmaa-
der GOrringe, and which led to the lat.

OF distinguished navy SERVICE Exchange
Our Youngstown correspondent in
forms us ii IS a settled fact that Chaun-
cy Andrews will be a candidate for Con-
gress next time. If MahOning hasn't
any better Congressional timber she had
better remain out of the race. 1t must
not be forgotten the day for running
Congressional campaigns on the barrel
principle is past. Bring forward your
men of heart and brain, and the people
will be with yOu.-Alliance Review.
President Arthur advised Congress, in
his recent able message, to make sweep
ing reductions in the tariff tax levy.
One house has perfected a bill which is
in no sense sweeping in its changes
bill which, in fact, could make fewer
reductions and be called reform bill
yet which revenue TefoTmer5 are will
ing to accept on the principle of a quar-
ter loaf being preferable to no bread at
all. The other House, controlled I,y
majority of the Presidents own party,
not only opposes even this mild and
timid bill, but to unheaTd of lengths in
parliamentary jugglery to kill II. That
Is the answer of Republican Congress

to the demand of Republican peO-
plel-Albany, n. Y, Journal, (Rep.)
The adoption of this rule by the House
will be tantamOunt to a declaration Of
lack of confidence in itself, and will be
a fitting sequel to the unbTOken Series
of blundeTs which has marked the lead
erless handling of this question since
the session began. The theory of the
proposed legislation is as vicious as its
methods are abOminable. 1t is in effect
committing the whole subject to the de-
termination of individuals wtrose chief
interest is not the reform of the tariff
laws, but the pres, rVatiOn of certain of
the existing schedules at their present
rates. No legislation brought aOOut in
this way can satisfy the intelligent de-
mand of the nation for modification of
the tariff laws. Party morality will be
better served by no action of this ques-
tian at this session, than by action Sc
cured in this roundabout and staT-cham-
Der method. The business welfare of
the country will be better served, as.
well; for no bill, emanating from the
conference committee suggested in con-
nectiOn with the adoption of this rule
can be accepted, either by the country
or by the next Congress, as tinal.-Utica

THE CARROLL FREE PRESS AND
GOVERNMENT LAND GRANTS.

The Carroll Free Press comes this
week Tripping along with another dish
on railway land grants, justifyiAg and
approving of the rObberies.
The Free Press, in former article,
justified the Republican railway land
grants, by charging that the Democrats
had first done 80. The Stark Co. DEMO
Graf took issue with the Free Press,
saying that no Democratic Congress ever
gave away the peoples land to rail
way or any other company, or individ-
ual. The Free Press cited no instance
before, and this week changes ground
entirely, abandoning Its former state
ment, without having the manliness,
however, to acknowledge it.
Over two hundred millions of acres
have been granted by Republican Con-
crosses to railway companies; an
amount of territory about equal to eight
times the state of OhiOl These eOmpa-
nies sell this land to settlers at So an
acre and upwards. Here, then, is a gift
to them of over one thousand millions
of dOllars
But this is not all. In some instances,
the government endorsed the cempan-
les bonds, and 80 gave them the money
to build their roads. Truly, the Repub-
lican- party has been generous! This is
about equal to their rObber tariff, that
despOils the people, to enrich few and
build up mOnOpOlies.
We agree with the Free Press, that
Congress has power "tO dispose of pub
lie lands;" but not to give 1t away, and
then pay them for taking It'll Giving it
away is one thing; disposing, another.
Congress is the mere trustee and has no
right, either in law or equity, to sQusn-
der or give away the trust. The people
paid their millions, and waged wars to
obtain and hold secure this noble trea-
sure for future generations. While the
Democratic party was in power, this
vast territory was held as sacred trust,
and guarded carefully against corrupt
combinations and artful schemes. All
this was changed as soon as the Repub.
lican party got power.
Is it not high time the people should
understand the Republican party? Is
it not the party Of monopoly; of special
privileges; Of plundeT schemes; of Credit

II the Democratic party is not for free
trade, how does it come that the Demo
cratic Congressman have voted to put
the entire control Of the party action on
tariff in the House in the hands of the
free traders2 At conference of thirty
Democratic leaders Sunday evening at
the rooms of Blackburn, a candidate
for the Speaker5hip, 1t was determined
to leave the party action in the hands of
a committee of seven, consisting of Car
Isle, Morrison, Tucker, Sunset Cox,
Blackburn, Bragg and Holman. These
gentlemen are all free trRders.-Akron
Beacon, 9th.
Did the Democratic party ever propose
direct taxation to obtain revenue to car
ry on the government Did not the
Democratic party, when In power, al
ways obtain revenue by tariff dutiesP ?
What does the Beacon mean by ''free
trader" Is there no difference between
tariff for revenue and tariff FOR pro-
tection2 j. there no difference between
honest ia, ss on and robbery? No diff
ference tetv ,en equal taxation, to sup
port the government, and rObbing the
people, to put millions annually into
the pockets Of favored citizens7
. The Democratic party wants honest
and fair taxation; not robbery.

LAST December, at the opening Of the
Congressional session, President Arthur
made the following recommendations
First-TO stop the coinage of silver
dollars and retire the silver certificates.
SecOnd-To repeal enough taxes to
abolish the mOnstrosity Of surplus
revenue.
Third-To do this by repeating all the
internal taxes except those relating to
spirits, and reforming the tariff by
adding largely to the free list and a
simplifieatiOn of the duties on cotton
goods, iron and steel, with substantial
reduction Of the duties on these articles
and on sugar, mOlasses. silk, wool and
wOOlen goods.
FOurth-To pass no river aud harbor
bill at this session.
Ftfth-TO take measures to replace
our present cruising vessels by iron or
armed vessels and the naval armament
by high power rifled guns.
Sixth--To reduce letter postage to
two cents.
SeVenth-TO pass bankrupt law.
Eighth-TO pass laws preserving the
timber lands owned by the Government.
Ninth-To pass law prohibiting the
levying Of political assessments.
Tenth-TO enact laws for the better
management of the civil service of the
Federal Government.
Not one of these has been needed ex-
cept that referring to the civil service.
Mr.. Arthur must have a keen sense of
his influence upon the national law
makersl

HON. WILLIAM DUNBAR, of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, forwarded to us last week, by ex-
press, eight bound volumes Of news
papers of "ye olden time" They run
from 1887 to 1850, and mainly consist of
the Washington Globe, Washington
Union. and Ohio Statesman. One large
volume is made up of various papers, a
score or more, Wayne County Democrat,
Ohio Eagle, Mt. Vernon Banner, etc.,
etc. Mr.. Dunbar has our hearty thanks
for considering us a worthy recipient of
such a treasure. We shall take good
care Of the GIFT; and occasionally re-
ViVe old memories by looking into them.
Mr.. Dunbar removed from Canton to
Mt. Vernon in 1S48 or 1847, having pur-
chased the Mt. Vernon Banner, the DEM
ocratie organ Of Knox county. Prior to
that he had been, for years, the law
partner Of Judge Meyer. On the death
of Mr.. Bernard in 1884. Mr.. Dunbar be-
came editor of the STARK COUNTY DEMO
Graf, and soon, with his brother George
purchased the establishment. The late
Col. Daniel Gotshall soon got an inter-
est, and ultimately became sole proprie-
tor.
Mr.. Dunbar was an able and vigorous
writer, and became a distinguished
editor. After a few years. connection
with the Banner at Mt. Vernon, he sold
out and devoted himself to the practice
Of the law. Mr.. Dunbar is now In the |
sere, the yellow leaf, not far from eighty, |
but has all his faculties well preserved;
and, as was ever the case, takes deep |
interest in public affairs, realizing the |
important bearing these have upon the |
prosperity and happiness Of the people. |

The Governor of Florida appoints
every State Officer-judges, county COM
missiOners, clerks o. courts, States at
torney, justices of the peace, etc.,-with
the exception Of constables, who are
elected by the voters of their respective
precincts. This vast power was confer
red by the carpet-baggers' constitution,
which to this day remains unchanged.
The handling of so much patronage is
undoubtedly injuring the Democratic
party in Florida. 1t is said that every
Governor of the State since the adoption
Of the present constitution has been a
candidate for the United States Senate,
but that not one of them realized his
ambition. The patronage Is source of
weakness. In dispensing 1t the Gov
ernor creates more enemies than friends.

THERE has been difficulty in getting
conferees to sit on the remains Of tariff
revision. Mr.. Randall resigned In a few
telling remarks, the pith of which SEEM
ed to be that one (Judge Kelley was
enough on the committee from Penn
sylyania. Anderson, the Republican
free trader from Kansas, gave the
Speaker dig by suggesting Russell En-
rett take Randall's place. The Speaker
then appointed Morrison, of Illinois, but
he also declined. Next the Speaker
named Tucker, of Virginia, but he did
not banker after leavings, and so re-
fused to serve. Then the Speaker said
he would take time to consider. Later
he named Speer, of Georgia, recently Sc
lected by Arthur for an important office
as the price Of political treachery. The
committee as it stands is as follows:
senate-Morrill of Vermont, Sherman
of Ohio, Aldrich Of Rhode Island, (Re-
publicansD Bayard of Delaware, and
Beck of Kentucky, (Democrats)
House-Kelley of Pennsylvanis, Has
keIl Of Kansas, Mckinley of Ohio, Speer
of Georgia, Republicans) and Carlisle
Of Kentucky, (Democrat). The Senate
adopted resolution that, it appearing
the House had placed restrictions on its
conferees, the Senate conferees on as
certaining that fact, should report 1t to
the Senate. The prospects of the pas
sage Of any Tariff bill are slim indeed.
Aa soon as a critical point is reached
new divisions appear.
