WILLIAM II. SMITH, q prominent busi-

day, aged near 70. He, with Richard
Phillips, started tho Daily Post In Sep.
tember, 1s42, being succeeded by John
Bigler, afterward Governor OF California.
The Post says:
Mr.. Smith was man Of marked intel
lectual endowments. He was q strong
thinker and writer, searching out facts
and testing principles In o self-reliant
way. He was thoroughly posted In the
political history OF, the country, and IN
uncompromising aud earnest advocate
OF the Democratic faith; but his mind
took In q wider scope than the mere par.
tisan divisions Of tho hour. He was a
disciple Of Jefferson and jackson, be
cause experience and investigation had
demonstrated 10 his mind that only In
the line Of their faith could the country
be permanently prosperous. His ac.
qnlrements took In wide range OF

THE SPRING ELECTIONS

In Ohio are Of q local character en-
tirely, but, nevertheless, important, as
they select local public agents who are
10 have charge OF matters pertaining
closely 10 the Individual citizen and
to his property and welfare.
For example, the Mayor, In towns like
Canton, is police magistrate, with juris'
diction equal 10 Justice Of the Peace,
He also appoints the police, subject to
confirmation by the Council. Here, too,
we may speak OF tho Importance OF our
City Council, appropriating the public
moneys raised by taxation-hayiDg
charge indeed Of all the great interests
of the city. The Council Axes the levy
OF tax for all city purposes, Surely all
these are matters Of serious Importance,
and require men Of intelligence, capa'
city, discretion and public spirit.
The Board Of Education Ia an inde'
pendent body that has special charge OF
the public schools, involving In our day
great power, as to taxation. Here, then
too, we need men of bread Views, OF
sound practical sense and prudence,
Every good citizen should give atten'
tion 10 the school question. IL 10
worthy OF regard, and men free from
narrow prejudice and all selfish consid-
eratlOns should be selected 10 the Board
Of Education.
The ward and township assessors are
public. agents on whom much depends,
as they list personal property for taxa
tion and their object should be to
let none escape. Every citizen
should pay his share Of all public bur
deDs, but no more, and this depends
upon the Assessors making correct re'
turns. The Assessor IL q public agent
who should do his duty at all hazards.
Township officers, are TO the town
ship, In the main, what city officials are
TO the city. OF course the city Ia part Of
the township, and hence, In some mat
ters, the Trustees may have jurisdiction
over the city, the poor for instance, Be.
sides, the Trustees have charge OF elec
tlons, az do Councilmen In their reepec'
tive wards. The Clerk Is their book
keeper, records their proceedings and
Issues orders on the Treasurer when the
Trustees make appropriations. Con-
stables. OF whom we elect two now In
Canton, are the ministerial agents OF
tho Justices TO obey the commands OF
these magistrates In serving writs,
making levies and arrests and keeping
the pence,
This sketch will serve to show the i'm
portance Of tho election next Monday,
Let every good. citizen do his duty. Let
our friends take care that Canton takes
no backward step. Our ticket 10 made
up Of good and competent men, who will
aim, when elected, 10 do their whole
duty. VoTE THE DEMOCRATIC TIcKRT.

THE RIEL RnBELLIoN.

II wOuld seem that the Canadian Gov
eminent has serious Job on hand In
putting down the Rlel rebellion In Man
itoba. Reports show that Rlel 10 stead
lily gaining adherents. and that he is
showing great yigor and skill In organ
ixIDg and conducting the outbreak,
qualities which he 10 not now for the
frat time demonstrating. Dispatches
Of Saturday report conflict between the
rebels and the mounted police, In which
twelve Of the police were killed and
eleven wounded, Riel 10 reported TO
have fifteen hundred half'breeds and In
dians under Him, and there are several
thousand of this discontented class ready
to Join him. The Canadian Government
Ia evidently beginning 10 realize that IL
has q formidable task to encounter, and
| 10 forwarding men to the scene OF the
revolt 40 rapidly as Ito somewhat limit
cd facilities will allow
Louis Riel, the rebel leader, has twice
before headed q rebellion against the
Canadian Government, the last before
the present revolt beingin 1870 He
was born In Manitoba and Ia Of French
ancestry, with no an blood In HIS
veins. He is we'll educated, with energy
and courage, and possesses all the quail
ties Of q leader. In 1870, after the Canad-
Ian government purchased the territorial
rights OF the Hudson Bay Company, Rel
organized a revolt OF the French
half.breeds and set up o pro-
vlsional government at Fort Garry
He seized hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars worth Of property, beNides the arms
and ammunition at the fort, Some Eng
lish settlers offered resistance, but we're
quickly overcome, and their leader,
Thomas Scott, was cruelty put to death.
The killing of Scott was one Of the most
heartless and cold blooded murders ever
perpetrated, demonstrating that Riel
could be a very tiger In cruelty. The
present Lord Wolseley was:then Lieu
tenant. Colonel In Canada, and was
assigned 10 the task Of crushing the re'
bellion. Az soon as Wolseley and his
force marched upon the stronghold OF
the rebels, Riel and his men fed, thus
ending the rebellion, the only blood
shed being the murder OF Scott. subse'
qupntly, when Fenian invasion Of
Manitoba was threatened, Rlel pro-
claimed himself loyallst and offered
his services to protect the province. In
| 1873 no was elected to Parliament from
Manitoba, aud went to Ottawa for the
purpose OF taking his seat. But the
people had not forgotten his record, and
threats against his life became 80 num-
erous that no suddenly left the Canadian
seat Of government and has not been
seen there since, He was expelled from
the Parliament which he had never
entered. Rlel has since lived mostly In
the United States. The rebellion now "
is said did not originate with him, he
having been called TO its organization
and Leadership. The cause is attributed
10 the wrongs perpetrated upen the In
dams and half-breeds, and the abuses OF
power by the agents OF the Canadian
Government.
