A STEAM HEATER EXPLODES,



TROY, " y, Dec. 34.-An accident,
which resulted in injury to eight persons,
two of whom will probably die, occurred
yesterday afternoon in the waiting room of

iured that she will probably die. Mr. Kirby,

SHALL. CANTON HAVE MORE SUIT
ABLE LIBRARY ROOMP

The only reason certain newspaper
opposes the new library room is propa-
bly because the DEMOCRAT first pro
posed a second story on the Market
house for that purpose.
The present library room in the city
building was not designed for a library
and reading room and is by no means
suitable in capacity, convenience OF
ventilation. The room is only about
2Ox35 feet, and when we consider that
over 2,3OO persons have cards for using
the library we may judge that more
room is necessary.
The books drawn daily, average over
80; on Saturday, March Sd, 2l2 volumes
were drawn and one week atter
l57. After school is out and in the
evening young people OF both
sexes visit the library and often times
tables and chairs are not sufficient TO
accommodate and there is lack OF
room.
Under these circumstances, no puohc
spirited citizen, properly informed
will oppose Councilman Volkmanns
motion adopted last January 23d, dl-
erecting the committee to inquire into
"the cost and feasibility of raising the
"market house one more story for libra
Try purposes"
The committee report that it is prac-
ticable to put second 16 foot story on
the market house at cost OF $o,Ooo'
and that the balance of'such fund III
the city treasury is sufficient to meet
the cost. In the present room are less
than 1900 volumes, and not room for
many more. Canton ought to have a
suitable public library, and we have not
that now. The first requisite is room,
or rooms, and the plan proposed would
give this.
The library is the work of generous,
public spirited citizens; and all de-
manded of the city is to furnish rooms
for this laudable and important enter
Prise. These and other citizens are
ready to donate until Canton has a
library worthy of her name and fame.
1t may be stated here that the fund
proposed to be used for the building OF
the second story is mainly Dow law
tax money. Surely, it is putting it to a
good use.

TEH st. Louis Republican says: Inc
state grangers of Nebraska, Indiana,
Illinois, and Pennsylvania, have sent TO
congress strong petitions asking for
removal of the tariff on iron, lumber,
salt, sugar, wool and woolen goods In
one of these petitions it is stated that
in the six years from 1880 to 1856, ~ OF
the richest agricultural districts IN lili-
nois suffered an actual loss of popula-
tion and $5OOOOOOO on their corn crops,
showing that the farmers not only made
nothing iii this period, but lost their
work. 1t is further stated that farms
are fast passing under mortgage, and
their nominal owners being reduced to
the condition of the Irish tenantry-a
condition which grows out of the pol
lev of compelling husbandmen to pay
Iroteetion duties for the enrichment of
manufacturers. 1t is unjust, they say,

diar crops raised by cheap labor in other

then the divisions begin, AS soon as
any revenue measure is produced by a

REMoNsTRANCE seems to be in order
in Canton. Some demonstrate against
providing a more commOdiOus and suit
able room for the public library; some
oppose sewerage; some oppose the as
sessment of SO per cent. per foot for
street improvements; some complain
about stairways and other distractions
on public streets, and many regard the
city hall and central engine building as
unhealthful and unsafe.
The first three, namely, library, sew
erage and 9S per cent, might be sub
mittted to a vote of the people of the
city; and an enforcement Of the ordi-
oances now in force would dispose of
the others. The bill to extend the
Fair Ground, now pending in the State
Senate, provides that the matter be
submitted to vote of the people of the
county. This was what the DEMOCRAT
called for.

RELIGIOUS FACT.

"The Examiner" the leading Baptist
paper of this country, published in
New York City, in its issue of the 18th
inst, had the following editorial:
The task of the Republican minority,
in framing a bill counter to that pre-
sented by the majority, OF the House
Committee on Ways and Means, Is not
so easy as might have been imagined.
1t is rapidly discovered that differences
of view are found in the party. For
instance, one member undertook to
canvass the Republican members on a
proposition to abolish the tobacco tax,
and reduce the whisky tax to 90 cents a
gallon, and found fifty Republicans who
said they would not vote for such a
measure. Another Republican, an
Indiana man, favors the proposition t"
put coal. salt and lumber on the free
list. The Republican Minnesota dele
cation are said to be unanimously IN
favor of tariff reform. And so on,
showing that if the tariff becomes an
issue of the coming campaign there will
be a general reconstruction OF party
lines and many changes of party allie
glance. MS Will hOlu oqu"Ay VA"0 VI
both parties.
This old religious journal is one OF
the staunchest Republican papers in
the country, but they see as every other
honest and sensible man sees, that the
Republicans are dishonest in claiming
that they as party are Prohibitionists
and that the Democrats as party are
free traders. If the Republican leaders
do not soon give up this dishonest
claim, they will be the worst beaten
party in the past twenty-five years.
