The Repository need not assail the
County Commissioners on account of
appointing Sheriff Leininger, at the
time they did. They could not act until
there was q vacancy, aud the rsslgns-
tlon depended upon Mr.. Leininger him
self and no one else. 1t was on Mr.,
Lsiblin's motion the resignation was
accepted. And this, too, seems to trou'
BILE the Repository. We hope the exclt-
able young gentlemen Of the Mckinley
organ will In due time become recon
clled to the situation. We have had a
Democratic sheriff for long years with
out interruption In Stark county. And
don't you forget 1t.

the first prOpellors ever used slthe
ocean, and who planned the Nev@ York
elevated railways, now aged and feeble,
when before commission appointed to
determine his sanity, was asked his
opinion Of himself as a religious man,
when he pulled q handsomely bound
Bible from bag and read: "The Lord is
my help, and l will not fear what men
shall do unto me-" He said that he
thought the Lord would help everybody
who trusted In him. "FOr He has said:
Il will not leave ye fOrsaken.'" He then
turned the leaves Of his Bible and read:
For l will not leave thee until have
done that which have spoken to thee"

"0UIDA," In her magazine article on
female suffrage, pays this stinglng trib.
ute to her sex:
There is not much veracity anywhere
In human nature, but 1t may always be
roughly calculated that the man will
be more truthful than the woman In
ninety-nine cases out of hundred; his
judgment will be less c0l0red by per-
sonal wishes and emotions, and his In
stincts towards justice will be straight
ef and less mobile than hers. We're
women admitted into public life bri-
berry would become still greater fea-
ure In that life than 1t now is, which
is needless"

THE EARTHQUAKE EXPLAINED.

There has late been going on outside
of Washington, D. G., cOlored camp
meeting. The earthquake shock, of
course, has been theme of discourse.
The following explanation Of the cause
of the earthquake by a colored preacher
may not be the very best that has sp-
peared, but we feel confident 1t will
rank deserVedly with some of the sage
productions to which the public is being
treated in many parts Of the country:
The preacher said In the course of his
remarks on the earthquake: "Now,
brudders an sisters, yer all know what
an earthquake am. Yer think yer do,
but yer don't. There amt man or woman
here what can't 'splain just what caused
de ole earth to shake wild de wrath Of
God. I've studied dis question and
I've found out dat de middle Of de earth
is red hot. De winter am comm wild de
cold and consequently de crust OF the
earth ls gettin' cooled an breaks just
like yer sometimes sees de ice on or
frosty mawnin'. Earthquakes is Gods
medicine for q wicked world. Now
mind yer l don't say dat Charleston. is
wickeder dan Washington, but dere's
been somethin' gOin' on down dere dat
perhaps God only knows. A man what
goes out at night and steals his neigh
bOrs' chickens and 'propriates his ripest
and biggest water melli0ns of Satur
day night and then comes into church
Of a Sunday and hOllers louder than
everybody else and lodges de cOntribu
tion hat amt got no religion. You
can't fool God. he knows everything.
He tells us that he will separate de
goats from de lambs, but you can't tell
a chicken thief less you cOtch him In de
act. Dis earthquake business isn't
stopped yet. We have got to get Gods
ear an pray; dat's de only way we can
keep de earth from quivering."

REPUBLICAN organs are beginning to
harp upon the great virtues Of the i'm
maculate Republican party. The old
thing badly needs bolstering up. Its
sins of omission and commission con-
stitute a fearful load. Byron tells Of
one Of his heroes, Linked with one
"virtue and thousand crimes"
Their fraudulent President business
alone ought to sink any party. But no
organ or Republican orator has ever
been known to acknowledge the fact OF

AFTER all the herculean efforts of
Blaine and the score of Republican ora
tors, including our own Mckinley, down
In Maine for six weeks past, the cleo
ton Monday resulted In a decided set
back for Blaine. as the Republican ma
jority OF 1884 was cut down one-half, the
latest returns Indicating the plurality
to be less than 10000. The Prohibition
vote has more than doubled over that of
1884.
The vote in 1884, with which compare
sons will be made, and In 1882, the off
year, like the present, was as follows:

Live Stock Freiehts.

A rumor has been gaining strength on
the streets that the Sunset Railroad had
taken advantage Of the pending strike
on the Missouri Pacific and had advanced
freight rates on live stock. This is en-
phatically denied by the freight agent Of
that road in this city, who says that in
stead Of advancing rates, sccommoda-
tiens had been made so as to allow ship
ments to be made to points that are In
reach Of their lines, the same nc II 1t
went direct over the Missouri Paciho,
Notwithstanding that 1t will have to
make long detour to reach its destina-
ton. Little stock Of that character has
yet been shipped, but If the strike con-
tinues many more days, IL is expected to
do large business In relieving the glut
Of horses at this point.
