ROOTSTOWN

Correspondence.
The special religious services held at
the churches in this place resulted in
a great deal of good. Many were con
verted and will unite with some one OF
the churches. Such a union feeling
among the Christian people never was
known to exist here as was manifested
during the meetings. This is as it
should be, and we hope such will coD-
tinue in the churches.
The young people of the Methodist
Church held 8 sugsr social at the resi-
dence of DIR. Powers, last Friday eve
ming, which was largely attended, and
all report good, sweet time.
A number of Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd
Hinman's friends and neighbors made
them a pleasant visit at their home
on Saturday evening, it being the 18th
anniversary of their marriage. All
present enjoyed themselves very much
A set of glassware was presented to the
happy couple ss token of friendly
feeling, the prese ntation speech being
made by Mr.. H. M. Deming, and was
full of fun, and enjoyed by the crowd.
At 10 o'clock the company, with good
wishes for Mr.. and Mrs. Hinman.s
future life, bade them good night and
returned to, their homes well pleased
with the evening visit

The cons of Mr.. Daniel Bogue were
called home a few days ago to see their
aged mother, who has been very sick
with pneumonia. 1t was thought for

we are glad to know that she is better,
with prospect of regaining her usual
health.
There has been a good deal of sick.
ness In town, aud few deaths. Mr..
Henry Bissell, one of our reliable men
who was born in Rootstown and al.

born, died ofconsumption. of Mr.Samuel

CALIFORNIA LITTER.

I'VE are permitted to copy the fol
lowing from private letter from our
former mayor. N. 81. Smith, ESQ to
one of our citjzsns.
Los angeles. March s. 1888.
Perhaps you begin to think 1 am
taking considerable time in my inves.
LEGATIONS as to business opportunities
i'll this country, but I find that it takes
time to learn all the facts concerning
this wonderful country. Many como
here, as did my friend Esty who wrote
to A, B. Griffin, and after being here
perhaps "a hours, proceed to write up
the town for publication in eastern
papers, and in every such case grossly
misrepresent. Perhaps they may have
struck the town dnring or just after
heavy rain and found it muddy, for
rain produces mud here just as it does
in Ravenna, Akron or Cleveland, only
not quite 80 deep. But / have found
the climate and country fully up to
my expectations, except the unusual
cool weather this winter, and an un-
usual amount of rain has fallen, which
pleases the ranchmen and gardeners,
but does not strike the average tourist
as being the perfect paradise looked
for. The country has not suffered any
loss except by the frost in January,
which injured the orange and lemon
crop about two per cent, so the River
side people say, We have had twice
the usual rainfall and yet there have
been no freshets or overflow of streams
or washouts on the railroads. and the
only damage from heavy rains is the
beating down and lodging of some
growing crops. I have just returned
from a trip to SantaBarbara, was gone
ten days, but the weather was bad, &c

. in going, as 1t was more to try tht

A Joint discussion was held at the

PITTsBURG DIsPATCH: There is
one industry in this country that is
not overdons, and that is the construc-
ton of wagon roads. A prominent
business man said recently that he did
not know how much the country lost
every fall and spring by the detention
of trade on account of bad roads, but
he said he knew it was far more than
the interest on the public debt. There
were thousands of miles of railroads
built last year thst will not pay divi
dends for long time, but good wagon
roads would pay from the completion
of the work Let convicts of all kinds
be put to work on them and have
them built properly, and the grades
established ny competent engineers
Employing convicts In this work
would not injure honest labor" and
it might have the effect to diminish
| crime.

A WRITER in the current number Of
the Forum has presented some forcible
reasons why the newspapers of the day
give more space to sporting, criminal
and political than to religious news.
He says:
How comes it that base ball and
horse racing news is reported with
great care and fullness, while the lead
ing religious events are either ignored
altogether or indifferently reported ?
Is it not because newspaper editors
have learned that persons who belong
to the theatrical or sporting or the
mercantile public buy their papers ac-
cording as they find in them full,
prompt and sympathetic treatment OF
theatrical, sporting and market news
whereas religious people, as such, do
not discriminate in their patronage OF
newspapers with corresponding ex
actness? In other words, do religious
people feel as keen an interest in re
ligious news as the base ball public
feels in base ball news, or as the horse
racing public feels iD the news of q
horse race2 Do religious people tt
any considerable degree choose one
paper rather than another because one
raper gives more prominence to re
ligious news than another, or treats i
with a more sympathetic apprehen
sion?

FREE copper ores? Horrible A
French syndicate recently cornered
our copper, took 1t to France, and if
we want copper products we must buy
them of the French and in addition
pay the duty we impose on it as an
import. Forsooth it would be better
for us if we had no copper mines to be
protected"
FREE trade in iron and steel hoops
The cotton raisers would not have to
pay tariff price for their cotton ties
and the poor Standard oil company
would not have to sneak it's oil hoops
into the country by way of the New
Orleans custom house.
FREE lumber? In ten years the
will be about exhausted. We ought
to keep up a tariff on lumber so we
may pay high for Canadian lumber.
FREE salt? Ba for the salt syndi
cate, which would have to give US our
salt tatcompetitive at instead OF syndicate
prices.
FREE wool may or may not be to the
farmers advantage. That question
has two plain sides to it. But there
can be no question that free lumber,
free salt, cheaper iron, sugar, clothing.
etc will be to the farmers advantage.
When the protectionistic scribes get
down to business on the Mills bill,
which will be very soon now, 1t will
be simply wonderful the sympathy
they will pour out upon the farmer
His wrongs will be recited in such q
way as to draw tears, but his vast gaiu
of rights under the bill will not be
referred to. Oh, no. That might i'm
peril the chance of the protecli onists
to hold the farmer vote in the future
as it has mainly held il in the past.
All the san.e the farmer will find Out
for himself that the Mills bill Is not
altogether bad for him. The whole
business of tariff protection Is one ot
the cold figures of profit and loss. So
much loss to others, SO much gain 10
oneself. A selfish grab game 1t is, aud
that is all of it. How does the Mills
bill balance up for the farmer? The
protectiOnistic press will never tell
him. He will have to find it out in
some other way.
