Hon. James h. Campbell was a
soldier himself, and his sympathies
are with the soldier. He recently
introduced the following bills, in
behalf of soldiers or their widows,
which were read twice, referred and

Tho last number of Bradstreet's
invites the attention of the North
american Reuiew to the fact that
while less than 25 per cent. of the
male population of voting age were
"disfranchised" or failed to vote in
Delaware, more than 60 per cent. of
the same population were "disfran-
chised' or for other reasons failed
to vote in Rhode Island. But, of
course, Republican Rhode Island
can do no wrong.

Z The Eaton Democrat endeayors to convey
the impression that the PLAIN DEALER is op-
posed to an investigation. The Democrat is
as far wrong as the distance is from here to
Hong Kong. What the PLAIN DEALER is OPP
posed to is a one-sided investigation, but it
does not oppose an investigation where the
election frauds shall be sifted to the bottom
no matter who may be hit.-Pzain Dealer.
Just our position exactly, Bro.
Plain Dealer, and we trust the bot
tom of the whole business will be
turned up, hurt who it may.

Areportc comes from Washington
that the post-ofice department is
Investigating a clevercase ofswind-
ling whichis being practised among
the farmers of the Eastern States
by a Western firm. The head OF
the firm bears, by a strange coinci-
dence, the name of Professor Baird,
and the scheme which they are
practicing is to mail circulars to
farmers and others DESTROYS of
stocking ponds and creeks near
their places with carp, telling them
that for 81 the fish will be sentthem.
The farmers nearly all replied, en-
closing the amount stipulated, but
of course received no answer. In
order to obtain fish it is necessary
for the applicant to secure the in
dorsement of the member of Con
gress from his district, and ofcourse
the firm has no influence in the
matter.

Uncle Sam collected $S41, 23O.41
more at the Philadelphia custom
house since the Democrats attained
power than during the same period
last year. This looks like reform
especially when it costs $9,567.S1
less to collect it. That is a place
where reform was valuable.

Look ON for swfndIers.

A scheme is now being worked
on the farmers in some parts of the
State about as follows: "A slick
appearing fellow comes along, and
engaging in conversation with the
farmer ascertaining his financial
standing, makes a proposition to
purchase his farm. He has not
enough money, but agreeing on
terms he pays a small amount,
promising to return in a month to
complete the purchase. Meanwhile
a second party appears and offers a
larger amount for the place. In a
few days the first party again comes
on the scene, and as the farmer does
not then want to sell, thinking he
can get the offer from the second
party, he usually offers to refund
the guarantee money. The first
party insists on the sale, threaten
ing suit, etc, but finally agrees on
a compromise for a few hundred
dollars, and the farmer thinking he
can do more than make this from
the second party, either pays it or
gives his note. Of course the Sec
ond party does not turn up after
that, and the farmer is the victim
The scheme has been worked in
several places, according to our ex-
changes.-Er:

Representative Caswell of Wis
consin has introduced a bill pro-
viding for the taxation of oleomar-
garine in the same annerin which
whisky and tobacco are taxed. The
object Of the proposed measure is
not to obtain additional revenue
for the government but to suppress
the traffic in oleomafgarine by a
heavy tax and the requirement of a
government stamp that would al
ways expose the true character of
the article. This is a just and wise
measure. 1t is not only in the dairy
interests, but it is a protection to
consumers from fraud. The sale of
bogus butter, and other adulterated
food, should be prevented by strin-
gent State and Federal laws.

o. Saturday, June 5. the Pacific Rail-
road Committee came in with most
important bill, and attempted to whip
1t through without t8fOTma ion and
without reports. Mr.. Springer then
made one o. the most effective speeches
he ever made In the House, and has
since been cOmplimented on every hand.
He was apparently the only member
vino seemed to seize upon the most sa-
lient of the important features of the
tOpic presented. He found to his sur
prise that this measure. which had been
proposed by the House Pacific Railroads
Committee, involved loss Of $75 900 900
10 the Government. His clear and fore
lble delivery impressed upon the House
the points Of the discoveries made by
him during the brief half hour which
he was able to give to this subject.
Mr.. Springer was born In Sullivan
county, Ind, May 30, 1886 In 1848 Re
moved with his parents to Illinois. He
attended the Indiana State University
at Bloomington and graduated in 1858
After studying law he was admitted to
the bar In 1859. he was Secretary of
the State Constitutional Convention In
1862, and member of the State Legls
lsture in 187l-72. He., was elected to
the Forty fourth Congress, and has been
re elected to each succeeding one.
Mr., Springer is mn above medium
height. He Is very square shouldered,
with large, powerful figure. His head
is unusually large, with finely deVel.
oped forehead and sparkling dark back
eyes set under strongly defined eyebrows,
His nos is large and nearly straight,
His complexion Is very dark. The lower
part OF his face Is covered By al IRON
gray mustache and q sharp peaked
beard. He always wears In the House .
closely buttOned up dark frOck coat.
Summer or winter be has buttOn-hole
bouquet In his coat. he is one
of the few men in the House
who study public questions. he has a
compact, carefully classified library, and
has at his fingers ends vast fund of
most valuable Information.

best talent Of this country. He has al
ways been recognized there as one OF
the few gifted with the talent to depict
the human face divine. He is now en-
gagged on finishing portrait of Mrs. Ja-
cob Miller's mother from dagUeTTeo-
type. The artist has, by his knowledge
OF nature, produced a lite'sizs portrait
with all the charms Of the colOrs of ma
ture, so that 1t seems incredible that 1t
is produced from such mesger material.
This Is simply the result of q knOwl-
edge Of nature. The portrait Of we'll
known Canton lady, painted last fall,
continues to charm all who chance to
see 1t, and we predict for the last one
similar popularity. ThO9e whc are fs
miliar with the great care he gives to.
the production of his portraits, can ac-
count Tor their success, He belongs to
q generation Of painters who acquired
their skill In painting from nature be-
fore the era Of photography, which en-
ables him TO do for some what the cam
era fails 10 accomplish.
The fame of Canton naturally attracts
artists to her midst, In this connection
we are pleased to notice the work Of
Mrs. 8. S0lberg, who has class In art
study each week for two days, in the
Mathews Block. We locked through her
portfolio of water color work from the
; natural flowers and take pleasure In
recommending her to al those who de-
sire to acquire a knowledge of this
beautiful art. The immense popularity
Of water cOlors In the exhibition of the
National academy Is one Of the most
notable features in the growth Of Ameri-
can art. The sale Of work out of the
/ water color exhibition 50 far exceeded
the sales In oil cOlOrs that some Of the
most noted In the latter work gave
much of their time to water coloTs and
found ready sale. This lady also mana
ges the tint5 of out door nature In oil
ColOrs with good judgment. Her work
Is free frcm hat exaggerated condition
In cOlOrs which Is so common In the
works of the average worker. Il
l observed some very CTeittable draw
ing In re. Gil, probably by ichOlsrs,
This is III excellent opportunity for
those who desire to give their children
some edUC ion In the direction Of art.
