The Mavor of Eaton. O.. doesn't

The Mayor of Eaton, O., doesn't
seem to be blessed with a very large
amount of public spirit. The First
Regiment o. n. G. recently encamp
ed at Eaton, and the day before their
arrival the Knights of Pythias sent
word to the Mayor and the council
that they would bear half the ex-
pense of a band and march to the de-
pot in a body to meet the visiting
soldiers, but this offer was not &C
cepted. The Mayor was asked to
make a speech of welcome at the de-
pot, but refused to do SO. Other
instances of his boorishness are
given. Such a man should be allow,
ed to retire to the quiet of private
life as speedily as possible, where
he will not have an opportunity to
bring reproach upon the community.

Judge Hoadly in his Hamilt,

Judge Hoadly in his Hamilton
speech, made the following reference
to the Republican ticket:
"With the personnel of the Repub-
lican ticket l have nothing to do. l
am ready to be the butt, and the only
butt in Ohio, of all the arrows of
malignity that may be hurled against
any one candidate in this campaign.
l am willing to take upon myself, as
your representative, every dart that
may be hurled, of libel and calumny
against character or opinion, politi
cal or religious. Against their can
didates I have nothing whatever to
say. They are gentlemen, scholars,
statesmen, politicians, worthy citi-
zens of Ohio. 1t isswith the princi,
piles their party nisrepresent that
hold high controversy. and not with
them"
That is one Of the most perfect and
complete rebukes that has, thus fal
in the campaign, been made. The
gentlemanly conduct of Mr.. Hoadly
will be marked throughout the can
vass, but he will deal telling blows
at principles and policy of the Re
publican party. Mr.. Hoadly will MOI
be injured by the malignant manner
in which Republican papers assai
him. There is a sense Of fairnes.

Comparative statistics indicate a
very great and significant decrease
of railroad building during the first
six months of the present year as
compared with those for the CORES
ponding period in 1882. The mileage
of construction has fallen offjust one
half, the figures being 25O9 miles as
compared with 1890 last year. While
it is unlikely that the decrease for
the whole year will be in the same
proportion, as the weather last spring
was exceptionally unfavorable for
railroad building operations, it is evi
dent that the rapid development. of
the railroad system has received a
check, and that in the opinion of con-
sentative capitalists as many lines
have been laid as can be profitably
utilized for some time to come. We
are inclined to think that this is the
safe and sensible view Of the s!tua-
ton.

One of our exchanges says: "The
platform of the Democratic party
aflirms the principles of Thomas
Jefferson; it demands the puriica
tion of the public service, the punish
ment of the robbers of public treas
ury, the arrest of the profigacy and
extravaganza that corrupts the adj
ministration of public affairs, and a
total change in the policy that has so
long been pursued by the Republican
party; it favors q tariff so adjusted
as to encourage productive interests ;
it opposes sumptuary legislation, and
favors the regulation of the liquor
traffic by a properly graded license
system; it demands thorough reform
in the civil service, but above all and
first of all demands a change in the
administration of the Government
itself as the reform most necessary.

~"NAsBY"-David R. Locke-the
great Republican oracle, was asked
in Toledo about Foraker, when he
replied:
Yes, Foraker is a strong man, a
good lawyer, a fine speaker, and
much of statesman, yet must con-
fess that l do not know who in the
devil he is.
That is about the size of it. All
that anybody knows about him is,
that he is a gentleman that Charley
Foster compelled the Republican
State Convention to nominate as n
candidate for Governor of Ohio.

The most influential Republican
paper in the northwest the Pioneer
Press, published at St. Paul, Mimi,
says that the action of the Iowa
Republicans on the temperance ques-
tion will lose the state to the Repub-
~licans, and calls their action the
"most stupendeus folly of the age"
1t further says: "Tbe Republican
party will probably invite disaster
by making itself the sponsor for I'M
republican and tyrannical interfer
ence with individual rights and com
mercial freedom, but the lesson of
the disaster will be wholesome"

The New York Sun says that "the
man who, more than anybody else,
is responsible for the drunkenness
that disgraces the army and navy OF
the United States is r. B. Hayes of
Fremont, Ohio. He made conviction

farce by reinstating the convicted

ed from the service. This is the man

The vehemcnce with which the Re-
publican press of Ohio attack Mr..
Hoadly, awakens the thought that
the selection of Hoadly as the Demo
cratic standard bearer has caused a
w~ell-settled uneas ness in the Repub-
lican camp. The only object they
have in turning their batteries upon
Hoadly is in the hope of breaking
the force of Hoadly's popularity. The
nomination of Hoadly has so com
pletly over Swallowed the nomination
Of Judge Foraker that the support,
guns of the Republican camp have
been silenced and a broadside is
opened upon the Democratic nom

Col. w. A. Taylor, editor of the
Columbus Critic, an independent
paper, in referring to the nomination
of Judge Hoadly by the Democratic
State Convention, and declaring that
he should abe elected" says: 1.-The
fact is, that all us free soil Democrats
are coming back to our former allie

depends upon the triumph of the

Norwalk Experiment:

hard to show that Judge Hoadly is

Modern Italian Art.

In walking through gallery of mod
ern Italian paintings, 1 often feel as if
I were in the shop of the Chinese tailor
who, when asked to make All English
overcoat from q carefully patched and
mended pattern, conscientiously copied
into the new garment every patch and
mend Of the old one. The painters of
Italy are mostly in the condition Of this
poor tailor. They copy natures worn.
out garments, having no power to distin-
guish their perfect forms-those forms
which give expression to her living, NOV
ing body. 1t is trite saying that
in the best Greek sculpture drapery
never conceals, but reveals. So it should
be in all art; but it is not SO in modern
Italian art, where there is nothing but
drapery, which neither conceals, mol
reveals, nor indicates; and this for the
simple reason that there isnothing behind
it. The second cause of the decline ol
art in Italy is che fact that art has be-
come trade.
