cannot help hut thrive, and where corn
kings more majestieally than the most
powerful magnate of monarchial aneienoe.
1t is here that the stock wallow In fat, and
! here where the golden shekels should cir
eulate just in accordance with the natural
productions Of pork, fax and cattle. But
in order to balance things and make mon
ey matters compare faYoratly with the
output of shipments, We must have mar
kets. While absent on tour through
the south and east this winter our mayor
consulted several parties in the east who
are just now looking over the advantages
of several Dakota cities for the construc-
ton of an immense pork packing house
and the operation of business that vii
control the pork market for many miles
and put into city thousands OF dollars IN
good solid cash every month. In order
10 construct and operate such an institu-
ton as is intended to plant in some one of
these Dakota towns it viii require cash
capital of not less than $4,000 simply
for a starter. Something of an idea OF
the magnitude of such concern may be
learned from the fact that it will require
$50, 1000 TO conduct the business after the
construction of a building and the pur
chase of all necessary machinery, yats, etc.
The parties who are proposing the estab-
lishment OF such concern are no small
fry who will be satisfied with comforta-
bly, nice business, but are people who ex-
pect the mare to go when they drop the
bat and who are willing to stand by their
ante to any necessary amount.
1t is unnecessary for The ADVOCATE
to dwell upon the advantages that would
accrue through the secural Of such con-
cern. Every business man and every
reader can figure up in his own mind the
beneficial features, and can fully realize
what an acquisition the investment Of
800. .O00 in pork house would be. 1t
would be the biggest thing for Canton ev
er introduced and would act as sort of
stimulant to our business men to put forth
great efforts for manufacturing industries.
Mr.. Gale is now in communication with
eastern parties in regard to the enterprise,
and be seems entirely hopeful that the
efforts will be successful. In case there
should appear favorable symptoms from
those who are now investigating the ad-
yantages of this city prior to extending
any definite proposition, we shall expect
our citizens to present a solid front in sup
port of the measure. The question will
warrant great deal of agitation, and we
want our people to talk pork house until
one Is secured And: Te want it this sea.

The legislature having adjourned it
would be of no benefit, even should THE
ADVOCATE SO desire. to either favor or
disfavor the railroad taxation laws as now
existing. But an insight into the matter
Lincoln county, railroad taxation has con-
yinced us that the gross earnings feature
is preferable to any other scheme yet orig
mated, and for that reason our tax payers
may rest contented that the last proposed
law did not pass. In order to convince
the reader that our views are correct we
will advance few figures to substantiate
our claims.
Under the gross earnings feature now in
vogue this county will receive during the
year 1885 $2,Sl4.54 from her forty nine
miles of railroad. This being about one
eleventh of the total county tax receipts
it will be seen that the railroad valuation
should equal the valuation of one eleventh
of the county, but we find that it does not
Fifty miles OF railroad valued at it's very
highest maximum for this prairie country
could not be valued at over $4,000 per
mile, which would make a total in this
county of 100000. This divided by two
scyenths, the amount assessed on real
property as per valuation, would make
$ll4,444, or about one-t thirteenth of the
total valuation of the county. In PLAN
words the Milwaukee railway company is
paying into Lincoln county one-eleventh
of the entire tax of the county, while at
the same time its valuation could not be
assessed SO as to exceed e-thirteenth.
AS the business of the company expands
the receipts will be larger. For this sec
ton of the territory the repeal of the gross
earnings law would would not have been
advisable.
The G. NJ. & St. P. company county
tax amounts TO $l,43l.62; g. & N. W.
county tax, $3S262; the territorial tax
amounts to 81 ,4O7.l2. By adding these
figures together it will be seen that the
Milwaukee and St. Paul and Chicago and
Northwestern railway companies pay into
the territorial treasury the sum of 81, 22l-
SO for the privilege of running their trains
through Lincoln county, two-thirds of
which amount is RENTED to Treasurer Ja-
cobs as our county tax.

An Engineers Bravery.

PHILADELPHIA, July 18.-The express
train leaving Atlantic City at 8:45
o'clock this morning, composed of eight
passenger cars and O Pullman, ran
through an open switch at Franklin
vile and collided with lumber car.
The Pullman car which was next to the
engine, turned around, its hind trucks
being left on the track. Its occupants
were badly shaken, but none seriously
hurt. The passengers of the smoking
car were compelled to climb out of the
window. The balance of the train re-
mained on the track. 49,.
Geo. Murphy, engineer of the train
had ample time to jump and save his
life. but he bravely remained at his
post, put on the air brakes, reversed
and threw open the throttle. The en-
gine crashed into the lumber car and
with the tender turned completely over
burying Murphy under it. When ta-
ken out he was found to have sustained
a compound fracture of the skull, a
broken Jaw and a compound fracture
of the right leg. Besides this he recelv-
ed several internal injuries.
The fireman, John McClintOck, aged
% wears. was thrown distance of thir-
ty feet from the locomotive and brought
up on the ground unhurt. Murphy
died few moments after the accident
There were about 100 passengers on the
train who say that their lives were
saved by the bravery OF the engineer
A rigid investigation will be made tt

1t Costs Too Much.

"Can't afford to advertise, it costs too
much!' So, so! Why don't you put
your goods into shed or back street
because its costs something for nice
store in the business part of the town;
use old dry goods boxes because you
"can't afford6 to put in nice, attractive
counters; put up no sign, because signs
cost something; spend nothing for
advertising your business because 1t
scosts too much?" Then growl about
hard times, because people go to those
who do advertise, instead of spending
time to hunt you up. No wonder you
can't afford to advertise when you don t
let people know where you are and
what you have to sell! And then your
trade Is so small that when you do have
a customer, you are compelled to put a
larger margin on what he wants or
your "can't afford' to live. Don't envy
your enterprising neighbors who adver-
fise, when you see their stores full of
customers while yours is empty, but
wake up and go and do likewise

Hon. w. d. Hill, of the Defiance
District, in recent interview, express
ed his views of of the civil service law,
declaring it to be a fraud upon the peo-
pie, and that it should be wiped from
the statute books. If the repeal can
not be secured, Mr.. Hill favors the re-
fusal of the Democratic House toappro-
pirate money for its support. Bucyrus
Forum.
The above shows how much the Ohio
Democrats care for civil service reform.
They propose to nullify the law by re-
fusing to appropriate money to carry 1t
out, or by simply ignoring its existence;
and that, too, after electinga President
on the cry of "Civil Service Reform"
It is in line with all the rest of the
Democratic reform all promises and
no Marion Independent.
The Democrats of Ohio and the ma
ton favor genuine reform of the civil
service-a reform that will substitute
honesty for rascality, economy forex
travagance, strict accountability for in
solent independence, and Democrats for
Republicans. The present measure is a
bastard system, intended only to keep
petty Republican time-servers and po-
fitical lickspittles in Office, and for that
reason alone is it supported by Repub-
licans. 1t is ridiculous travesty upon
republican institutions and pitiful
burlesque of common sense. AS such
the large majority of the Democrats of
Ohio and the nation despise aud spit
upon it. We favor system of reform
that will secure honesty and efficiency
in the public service, and these essen
tials can never be secured by keeping
\ in place and power those whose official
existence has made reform necessary,
An applicant. for place under this ad-
ministration should be shown to be
both honest and competent, and when
these qualifications are completely
established his record should be
thoroughly examined concerning his
unswerving fealty to the Democratic
party. Every incumbent of a subor.
dinate position, from the lowest menial
at the most obscure cross roads post.
office to the head of the Cabinet, should
be a thorough, enthusiastic, working
Democrat. This is our position upol
the question of civil service reform
and It is the one sustained by correc
governmental policy and the Demo
cratic sentiment of the country. Bucy-
