II IS SAID that the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher has determined to return
wholly TO the ranks of the Republican
party, casting Mugwumpery to the
wind. There Is nothing of very great
importance in this information, but Mr..
Beecher is to be commended for the de-
termination which he is said to have
reached. Mr.. Bcechcr is a man of bril-
liant mind and keen perceptions. lie
certainly ought to know what and
where he is, but as long as he was in
the folds of the Mugwumps he must
have been somewhat mixed as to his
identity.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
A Nice Little Piece of DOuble-Dealing by

The selection of Sandusky by the
Board of Trustees appointed to select a
site for the location Of the new Soldiers
that Col. Mack. Of the Sandusky Regis
ter, shrewd and energetic business
man, was a member of the Board, and
seemed to exert great influence over the
other members. The Springfield cor
respondent of the Cleveland Lcaier says
In relation to the choice of Sandusky:
"The location of the new Soldiers
Home at Sandusky was plainly pre-
dicted here at the time Of the visit of
tha board. II Was noted by close OBJ
servers that the SRndusky member of
the board appeared to have the board
we'll under his control, OF at least had a
strong Influence, and to such observers
the brief announcement Of the boards
decision, by Associated Press this morn
Ing, is no surprise"
But 1t was rather queer proceeding
on the part of Gov. Foraker to refuse
to appoint q Canton man on the Board
OF Trustees on the ground that Canton
was an applicant for the Home, and he
would not appoint msmber from any
town that was such an applicant, and
then, after that refusal, turn right
around and appoint Col. Mack. Of San
dusky; R B. Brown, of GAINESVILLE, and
W. P. Orr, of Pqus, all Of which places
were applicants for the possession Of
the Home. 1t was a doublo-deaIing
piece Of work on the part Of Gov. Fora
ker against Canton, and Cantonisns
should not forget 1t in o hurry.

In establishing the supremacy OF Re.
publicanism in the State, they should
contribute their share to meet honest
expenditures In party organization; but
when they give large sums, as they are
ordered and expected to give, to save
the tariff, they will simply multiply
proof Of the truth of the old sdage that
"a fool and his money are soon parted" !"
There is not one dollar of money needed
In this State to maintain ju;t protection
to our productive industries, and the
policy Of protection would not be In
peril at all to-day but for the lavish ex-
penditUre of money from monopoly
profits to maintain monopoly IN the
name of protection. Our legitimate in
dustries, which desire only just prOtec-
tiOn to American labor and do not desire
TrOtectiOn TO MONOPOLY for capital, have
been literally robbed Of millions Of
dollars between the few monopoly mil
liOnaires and tariff-fOr- -pOlitical-Teve-
nue.Only politicians, both Of which classes
have done more to bring reprOash and
Odium upon protection than all the free
traders Of the land. 1t Is time that such
ROBBERY should stop. and 1t must stop
unless the true friends Of protection
mean to furnish free traders with argu-
ments which are unanswerable. A
policy that must debauch both business
and politics to sustain itself cannot be
established In our free government.

A Buggy Wrecked.

Just after noon to-day the shifting
engine on the Valley Railroad WIS
backing out Of G. Aultmsn & Co.'s yard
with a train of cars on to Jackson
street, when Peter Smith, q farmer llv-
ing north of New Berlin, aged about 70
years, came driving along in a buggy.
His horse took fright at the engine, and
kicked up so badly that 1t upset the
buggy, throwing Mr.. Smith out and in
juriDg him badly, so much so that he
lay insensible for q moment or two.
The horse then fell into ShriVer's Run,
and 1t was some time before he could be
extricated from the water. Mr.. Smith,
fortunately, had no bones broken, but
was badly bruised. The horse was not
seriously injured, but the buggy was all
broken up.

BY the State census of Rhode Island
last year, out Of total population Of
304, ,283, the number of qualified voters
Is only 45.957, Of whom less than half
or %. 448 voted for Governor on the 1st
Of April, 1885. Under the head Of "nO
political condition" the census enumer.
ates 1858 native born males over q
who are not returned as voters" In
Rhode Island nAturalized citizens are
only allowed to vote when they are
possessed Of freehold of $134, or rent.
Ing for 81 a year, and have resided one
year In the State and six months In the
town or city In which they offer to vote
Native born citizens may vote upon the
same qualification II they have resided
two years In the State and six months
In the town or city, and have paid during
the year one dollar In taxes or have
served at least one day in the militia
A very suggestive table gives the
foreign born soldiers and sailors, with
their political conditions In the Rhode
Island 0ligarchy. There are 1,0l8 such
soldiers and sailors, Of whom 267 are
naturalized real estate voters, 1886 nat
uraiiz9d, but not voters, and 415 aliens
Hence we see that this wretehed little
State sends its naturalizsd citizens tC
fight for her, but only allows half OF
them to vote.

up before Commissioner Williams Sstur'
day. The accused, In the course OF the
examination before Commissioner
Williams, said that Greer and he were
interested In saloon together. There
had been some uncertainty as to Wba
they should do In regard to the Dow Law
tax. He sent the telegram In the name
Of Greer because Greer had directed hin
70 telegraph for him about the matter,
and he understood that the telegram
should be In his (Gre0r'e) name. In his
absence Greer had asked him (Snyder)
to get his mail. Snyder went to the
pOstOffice for his mail and was given a
letter to Greer. Being unable to read
or write he had taken the letter to the
drug store to have the clerk read 1t for
him. After reading part Of the letter
the clerk said that the letter was for
someone else. He had taken 1t back to
the pOstOf1ce at once. When asked why
he had said his name was Greer to the
telegraph operator he replied, when
he asked me if my name was Greer l
said that was my nama before l was
married. was only joking as l often
do with him." When Greer was put
upon the stand be denied Snyder's story
about the telegram and the letters.
Snyder was bound over In the sum Of
81, 800 by the commissioner.

ADAY AT OOTrAaE GROVE.
The Cleveland Literary Union Holds ItI
Annual Picnic There.

Annual Picnic There
The Cleveland Literary Union, an or
gan,zatiOn Of the best young society
folks in Cleveland, held Its annual pic
MIC at Cottage Grove Sunday and spent
a day of delightful recreation and en-
ioyment at that cool and inviting re-.
treat. The special train, chartered by
the society, brought seven Car loads of
merry pleasure seekers from Cleveland
and this number was augmented by
smaller parties from AsrOn and Canton.
The morning was spent in boating
and gathering water lilieo, riding on
the steam yacht to and about the is
lands, patrOnizing the roller coaster
and wandering about the pleasant
groves. At noon an excellent dinner
was partaken of at the hotel, after
which an orchestra from Cleveland
played In the dancing pavilion until
nightfall, for the benefit Of the ardent
disciples Of TerpischOre, who were not
deferred In the least by the heighth Of
the mercury. From six until seven
o'clock supper was served, and the lat
ter hour was announced as the time of
departure. 10th to draw their enjoy.
ment to a close the excursiOnists pre-
vailed upon the management to delay
the Cleveland train until eight O'Clock,
which request was at once granted.
This arrangement left the Cant0n party
without transportation from the lake to
Krumroy junction, In time to gain the
southbOund train for home. The case
was reported to Mr., L. @. Carran, pro-
prietOr of the resort, and that gentle
man very courteOusly had the CantODi-
ans taken to the junction by special en-
gine. This was much appreciated &C.
commodation, and while gathered In
semi-circls at the junction waiting for
the Canton train, the Canton people
passed hearty and unanimous vote of
thanks to Mr.. CaTran and the accOmmO-
dating Valley railway. The Canton
folks reached home at S:15 o'clock In the
evening.
While at the lake Landlord Carran de-
voted his entire attention to making
the people comfortable, and not single
complaint was made.
A feature of the day was half mile
swimming match between Eugene Shat.
tuck and George W. BOyden, both of
Cleveland, for purse Of $50. BOyden
took the lead and Shattuck withdrew
from the race after swimming about
half way. BOyden finished leis-
usely and was declared the winner by
referee Peter Schafer.
