Now. Let us make note Of its general
expenditures, which form tne oasis OF
the people's taxes, In addition 10 tnelr
local and municipal burdens. During
the sessions of the House, Hon. Seth
Brown. of Warren, Chairman or the
Finance Committee, upon repeated oc,

nof onIv more lavish In Its apprOpTia-

AN ALLEGED CANrONI4N
Ordered to Leave Canal Fulton in Five
Minutes.

Minutes.
A middle aged m9n, whose name Is
unknown to Us,but claiming to reside in
Canton, was arrested here on Saturday
evening. As we were informed, Miss
Maggie Easily, twelve-year old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Charles Es ly, while return
ing home after taking the COW to the
pasture field, was met by a man between
MetzgaF'- and Kinks. The man turned
and started in haste in the direction OF
the girl, who supposed he was after her,
and ran FRI III him as fast as she could.
She raised no alarm until she ar
rived home, and then informed her
father of the affair, who started
in hot pursuit after him, catching the
man just south Of town. He was brought
before the Mayor and az no permanent
charge was made against him, was
locked up for the night, on suspicion OF
an assault with intent to bodily injure
or harm. He was brought before the
Mayor on Sunday morning and as moth
ing could be found against him, was
given his freedom with sound advice
from the Mayor and ordered to leave
town in five minutes.-[Canal Fulton

That is not all. By juggle all the
unexpended balances to the credit OF
the various public institu ions were
continued instead OF being reappr0prt'
ated, and IN this way 800 900 was kept
from figuring in the appropriations. All
the canal receipts are appropriated to
the board of public works, and, as no
sum is named, the amount does not ap-
pear in the bill, 80 that the real total
above shOuld be IS, ,ll2,455 SS, or even in
excess of that figure.
Some people may object to including
the school fund in the above total. For
their accommodation l will omit it, aud
this leaves the total appropriation for
other purposes So. 1859 552 36.
Isn't that big enough?
1t Is round bl,000000 In excess of
the average appropriation for the same
purposes for the past ten years.

Do they want another stump tailed
legislature to saddle them with such
'rsordinsry appropriations, and then
borrow $500 900 in addition, and rob
the taxpayers of $l5 600 while borrow
ing the money, and making unlawful
to cover up their peTf0rmancesp
Why these extraordinary and riOtous
sppropria ions, made under notice
and a threat to tn farmers that their
lands are 70 ba put into the squefZr to
yield the additional taxes m de neces
ssry by the lavish pprOpristiOns, and
which threat is to be executed next
winteTp
Can any man find reasonable ex-
planstiOn in last winters laws for the
imposition of these extraordinary bur
dens? Nay, verify. 1t isn't in the book.
There is but one explanation. Ohio
was cursed with stump-tailed legisls
ture. Men who cOuspire together to
trample the constitution under foot
have no more regard for public welfare
than they have for the law.
They cut the throat of the constitu-
tion with one hand, while the other was
up % elbow in the peoples pockets.
And when the outraged constitution
appeals to the Supreme Court for vindi-
cation 1t is told that 1t is "incOnVen-
lent to observe It's mandates and Its
requirements.
Don't the people understand what
that means, in the light of the tax rob-
berry disclosed by the above figures?
1t means that Republican Supreme
Court sanctifies conspiracy and reVOlu-
tiOn as a means of public robbery and
spOlistiOn.
With conspiracy, revolution and the
Supreme Court In triple alliance against
them, the people Of Ohio, irrespective of
party, had better buckle down at once
to the work of pitching the gang Re-
publicans from power.
The gangs cries OF fraud" forgery"
corruption" and the like are played
out In the face of their own damniDg
record and vicious assumption.
Carry the list Of gang appropriations
