their assurance of a warm welcome and
cordial cooperation in his work.
They also requested the pastors to an
no9nce the services from their pulpits
and to devote their week-nights service
this week to special prayer for Gods
blessing on the Moody meetings, and upon
the churches and people of the city in
connection with them. Several gentle
men who had heard Mr. Moody spoke in
the warmest terms of the power with
which he breaches the gospel, and of the
tact with which he avoids topics, or even
illustrations that could reasonably offend
the most sensitive ears.
Rev. DR.. John Pollard, especially,
spoke of having heard him every day for
SIX months in Baltimore, without hearing
sentence from which he could dissent.
The whole tone and spirit Of the meet
ing was decidedly hopeful of good results
from Mr. Moody's visit.

To make that disapproval emphatic,

T. w. HOOPER.
The distinction which DR.. Hooper makes be
tween the functions of the Board of Directors
and of the Presbytery should be kept in mind
A judicial investigation by the one puts mans
ecclesiastical standing in jeopardy, while the
judgment of the other determines his suitable
ness for particular work which is in charge of
the Board. However unscriptural and heretica
the Board might consider the doctrine of mans
evolution, in some Of its phases and tendencies,
it was not in the province of the Board to in
stitute judicial process.
1t is not necessary for US at this stage of the
discussion to say that we regard the doctrine of
the evolution of man as involving very grave
heresy; it is. nevertheless, true, as DR.. Hooper
says that ro charge of being himself hereto
has been preferred against DR.. Woodrow per

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW,

by the new school law each ward
must elect two members 10 the school
board, one for one year and one for two
yeara, This Ia a matter for the citizens
of each ward to arrange and should be
attended to nj once. 40 that tho tickets
may be printed full and satisfactory.
Two or three wards out of the seven
In our city are Republican; and II the
Republican citizens In these Indicate u
willingness to elect Democrat In each,
II would doubtless induce Democrats In
some Of our wards to be equally liberal,
This Ia what we would like TO 500 and
what should be, The two Republican
members of the present board Of six are
Mr.. Geo. d. Harter and Mr.. Joseph A,
Meyer, but both reside In the Democratic
First ward, Ordinarily. neither of these
gentlemen could be elected, though both
good citizens and worthy members, Mr.,
Harter being treasurer and serving with
out pay, as the law does not allow any
pay but does require u heavy bond. We
believe no member OF the present Board
cares about being continued, at least We
know one who does not and that Ia A,
McGregOr.
There Is no pay whatever attending
the position, and II q man half attends
TO the duties, II takes up fair portion
OF his time and considerably engages
his attention.
II Is to be hoped this enlargement OF
the Board and electing by wards instead
OF tho entire district, will result In i'm.
prOyement. We have not copy Of the
law and do not know what provision IL
made for that part of our Union school
district lying outside of the city, and Of
considerable territorial extent and con.
tributlng considerably In the way Of
taxes, We do not learn that any citizen
Of Canton was consulted about tho law,
certainly no member Of the School
Board, II seems the law was
passed at tho instigation of some
dissatisfied persons in ChilllCOthe
who wanted to logislate out Board,
and succeeded. Tho law does not stop
with 0hilllcOthe, but reaches Canton,
steubenyille and Youngstown. These
same persons In Chilllcothc may soon
want this law repealed and the old one
restored, All this shows the beautiful
uncertainty OF our legislation.
But lot our citizens move at once and
conform to the law, for the schools must
bo cared for, and we should like 10 see
suitable citizens chosen.

The Democrats of Canton on Saturday
last in their respective wards by ballot
formed ticket to be supported next
Monday, and the job was well and nobly
done,
Over u thOsand votes were cast, aud
while there was some activity the matter
passed of In the main very quietly, but
none the less agreeably. The only city
position TO oil this spring Ia that Of
Water Works Trustee, and for that Mr..
Conrad schweltzer was almost unami-
mOualy nominated, receiving over 900
votes to n cast for Mr.. George Geiger.
II Ia due to Mr., Geiger to say that he
was not candidate Of his own will; but
was throughout supported by several
important gentlemen who did not relish
Mr.. SChwetzer, knowing they could not
use him for their schemes and purposes
Messrs, Shields, Upham, Creech, Bald
win, Mayor Piero, the Repository, OF al
labored hard to defeat schweltzer's
nomination, even running to the polls
devoted Republican friends, some Of
whom actually pledged to vote the
ticket nominated. Notwithstanding all
these efforts, Mr., Schweltzer received
over 900 votes to MIR, Gelger's n, One

We refer OVr readers to the ticket at
the head of the editorial column for the
names Of those nominated for the various
positions, Several of the positions were

Lot our friends remember that next
Monday is election day, aud that ls the
time that success counts, The people Of
Canton demand honest city adminlatra'

that something Is wrong In our city
management, Hence the Importance Of
q City Council composed Of majority Of
sound men, who will resOlutely stand
by the right
II Is gratifying that such men as Bast,

others were nominated, despite the per-
sonal efforts Of Creech, Upham, Mayor
PlorO and others, under the direction Of
Shields, Baldwin, Fawcett and the Re-
pOsitOry, Lot all good citizens do their
duty on Monday next, aud elect the
men Of integrity and stamina,
Our township ticket is made up Of
we'll known aud estimable citizens, who,
we are confident, will be quite accepta.
Bile, aud will receive q full handed and
cordial support. Let all our friends put
In proper and efficient work and thus
