AFFAIRS ABROAD.


VIENNA, January 26.-Dr. Giers,
the Russian Foreign Minister, in con-
versation with the Emperor yesterday,
referred to nearly all the leading pO-
litical questions of the day, and es
peoiully dwelt upon the necessity Of
the powers taking collective action in
urging the Porte to carry out the
promised reforms in Armenia.
LONDON, January 26-The Times
editOrially says: 1t seems probable
that the Duclere Cabinet will be
beaten in the Chamber of Deputies
Monday. The most remarkable fea.
ture that arises, is the iapidity with
which Frenchmen Of all conditions
have begun to despair of the republic.
The disOOuragement does not yet show
itself in the newspaper press, but it is
too apparent in private conversation.
1t would be rash to suppose that be
cause the Republicans are disheart
ened the republic is doomed. 1t is on
trial, but it has strength to survive
many mistakes.
The Paris correspondent Of the
Standard says: "The government is
so diSunited that it does not know
what to do.
A heavy gale prevails to-day, pai-
ticularly at Southport and Liver
pool, causing much damage to ship
ping and also to houses. A schooner
was lost with all hands at Yarmouth.
AT Oldham two persons we're killed
aud six injured by the gale.
ST. PETERSBURG, January 20.-In
consequence of revelations made at
the trial of anarchists at Lyons, Gen.
Mcuravref, public prosecutor, has
temporarily quilted St. Petersburg
On his return the government will
prosecute Kobozeff, who was con-
pected with the construction mine in
| Little Garden street. Other propi
neDt Nihilists will be prosecuted al
the same time.
| ALEXANDRIA, January &c. British
troops engaged in maneuvers yester
day in imitation Of the seiss Of Cairo
The display gave rise to rumorl
among the natives, creating some ex-
citement.
| MAlRIR, January 26.-Represent'
atives in the Coltes belonging to the
Antonomist party Of Cuba have asked
Congress for papers and full infOrma;
tion in relation to the gradual eman.
cipation of slaves. They allege that
the bill of 1880 is imperfectly carried
out in Cuba.

Major O. G. Newman, OF Pine Bluff,

himself as follows to the reporter:

I'll tell you my opinion. She had
a hne house, and the people are very
gracious. First, her support is very
poor, the members oil the company
being afflicted with a provincial En-
glish accent which renders it almost
impossible to understand them. in the
first act, Monday night, the first i'm
preston was that she was neither a
line actress nor a beautiful woman.
But afterwards, as she appeared, the
opinion changed. Her face became
expressive and magnifcently beautiful
aud she was grace itself. Her head Is
perfect in shape, and the psoale is one
OF the most beautiful ever saw. The
front is not SO good. When shO ap,
Boared as the finished coquette and

reached her forte, and was the most
pleasing and graceful person | ever

MALONE whines that the material de-
velOpement of Virginia will now be
checked; be a mere desert waste where
nobody will care to live; its farms grow
up to weeds, its coal no longer be mined,
its timber not be sawed and its indus
tries be given over to decay and ruin,
and, worst of all, no more people from
outside will settle in the state-all be-
cause his faction has been defeated at
the polls! The Philadelphia Times
says, aprOpOs of this plant:
This statesman's attachment to the
Interests of capital is somewhat sudden.
Some years ago, when he was ruthless
ly cutting off millions of dollars of
debt to which the honor of the state
was committed, he was not thinking so
much of the interests of capital as he is
now when his shameful devices to main
tain power have failed. When he was
wTecking railroads and making his own
fortunes he did not then presume to ex
ercise that watchful care over capital
which he now assumes.
Nothing has been more audaciOus
than this wreckeT's constant assump-
tiOn that he was the cOnservatOr of the
material interest of the people whom he
has robbed of both good name and sub
stance. 1t is, however, appropriate that
he should go to his political grave utter
ing this hollow cry. By so doing he has
maintained the consistency of a dema-
gOgue and repudiatOr to the very last.
President Arthur in a recent talk
laughed at MahOne's defeat, and tried
to smile CHASTITY smile over New York
and Pennsylvania. Malone is this stool
pigeon of the Republican party; and
there is no doubt that the fact is one of
the strongest counts in the popular in
dictment against it.

OBSERVATIONS BY BIZ.

They say that every false fire alarm
in Canton costs the city fifty dollars.
This Is doubtless due to the indiscrimi-
nate turning out of the whole depart
ment, If they are needed or not The dis
trict system should be inauguTated as
soon as possible. And there is undOubt
edly current of opinion faYOring more
Balaried men in the department, and the
keeping of horses for the hose carts at
the several reel houses in the city.
had talk with gentleman well up in
the study of the fire service the other
day, and he favored having a horse for
each hose cart, and a nOZZleman and
driver at each station, so that the people
would be relieved of the eOuntrihed
sight of seeing the firemen spending
their strength dragging a cart about
and enfeebling their energies for fight
ing the fire. The cost would be cOnsid-
cradle, but we are assuming city styles
In other respects in performing munich

cOnsidering.-Re Editorial.
Biz's blind observations show that
he is not posted. Chief Lathrop was the
man who discovered that every false
fire alarm in Canton cost the city fifty
dOllars;" and has already inaugurated
and put into effect 'the district sys-
tenn" The district system could not be
tnauguTated until the fire alarm was in
working order.
So there is ga current Of opinion IA

"Biz" proposes horse and driver and
one nOzzleman to each hose company.
1t takes in cities generally at least five
men for hose company. One nozzle
man could do nothing at fire. Three
more men would be necessary and would
cost. "Biz" did not talk with the right
gentleman" he should talk with Chief
LathrOp, or some man who understands
the "biz."
To get a department such as "Biz"
suggests, would cause an outlay of $3-
500; and to keep up would cost the city
between five and six hundred dollars a
month. Would it not be more wise for
the Council to. act on Chief Lathrop's
recommend, and buy truck and ladders
that would be safe for the firemen we

THE DEATH BLOW TO THE SONS OF
MALTA.

In connection with the death of Gen.
Steedman, who instituted the order Of
the Sons of Malta in Lafayette, the fol-
lowing is interesting: George Harding,
an emplOye of the wholesale grocery es-
tablishment of Reynolds, Earl & Hatch
eT, brave and bTawny ScOtchman, de-
sired to become a member of the order,
and the order was too glad to take him
in" A night was set apart for his init
iatiOn, and as he was particularly
powerful man, the gathering of the clans
was unusually large. The initiation
proceeded amid uprOariOus fun up to
the elevated railway and plunge into
the seething waters of the lake. A wet
blanket was in the hands of a dozen
strong men, in which the aspirant was
tossed about until they became eXhaus-
ted. Harding was an intensely earnest
man, and took the initiation as a seri-
GUS affair. Being told by the grand con-
ductOr that from the elevated railway
he should be plunged into a lake. he had
contracted his muscles and nerVed him
self for the battle with the waves. But
when he struck the blanket the shock
was too much for his nerves. He was
taken to his home paralytic. He lived
a year, suffering intensely and died in
great agony. The order paid out over
$1,000 in his behalf. All that medical
skill could do was done, but to no puT-
pose. He was noble man, and bore
his sufferings like hero or martyr.
He never once complained of or spoke
haTshly of those who caused it all. His
sufferings aud death were the death
knell to the Sons of Malta, not only in
Lafayette, but throughout America

IN the City Council last Monday even
ing, the legal lights of that body took
different views, City Solicitor Myers
taking the ground that the Council
could not legally expend two or three
thousand dollars in improving West
Tuscarawas street, when the money was
not in the treasury, nor even steps taken
to get there. Messrs. Shields and Faw-
eett took a different view, and the dis
cussIOn waxed warm, as was seen by
our report of the proceedings in We'd

THAT REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN CAN
TON,


The special election on the Sd inst.
in Canton to elect members of Council
in the 4th and 9th wards resulted, as our
readers know, in the success of Mr..
Weaver in the 4th and Mr.. Dine in the
9th, both republicans. 1.-THE Repository
claimed and heralded it as great Re-
publican victory, and had out little
rooster over it. We also gave due credit
thereto in the DEMOCRAT, and mentioned
the wonderful interest and activity of
certain gentlemen and their hired help,
and suggested an important fact or two
to the honest tax paying.citizens of Can
ton.
Common report has it that certain
Democrats, prominent incur city affairs,
had directing hand at least, in the Re-
suit on the Sd, claimed by the RepOsi-
tory as a great Republican victory
that the telephone was active, but that
in one Instance that day the wrong man
was at one end, not their lend man.
Under these circumstances we would en-
quire of the Rep. if 1t still claims the
whole thing as "a great Republican
victory" We make no claim whatever,
but would like to know "the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth u
