The above is taken from the boile?
plate organ, the Independent of yester-
day. OF course on account of Harri-
sons well known love for the Chinese,
his followers initiate their leader, and
look at everything with MongOlian eyes
and it is therefore easy to understand
how the distorted imagination of the
editor of the Independent mistoOk for
a Chinese pagOda what is really
nothing but a simple lantern, made by
American labor, and not having a tariff
on it either. In regard to the bandanas
the Democratic boys are sorry they
offend the aesthetic eye of the editor,
but say the bandanas have come to stay
all summer and suggest as a remedy
that the Independent remove their
boiler plates and other things into a less
obnoxious neighbOrhood.
"The Young Mems Democratic Club
has just hung out a little Chinese (mark
you, Chinese) paOgda with a lantern in
side. Now if they would withdraw
their old banne- and weatherstained
bandanas, which as decorative quanti-
ties have seen their best days, one could
gaze at their hall with unallOyed adj
miration."
Councilmen Boerner, Bowman, Volk-
NOR and Clerk White drove up to the
brick yards yesterday to inspect the fire
brick being made for paving Main
street. Contractor Lemon has written
that he will be ready to begin work in
two week, and wants 100000 brick at
that time. AS the Council
stipulated in the contract that
Massillon brick be used they
are responsible for the brick and
therefore went to investigate. Some
dissatisfaction was expressed at the
quality of the brick and the ability of
the company to furnish enough. The
matter will receive attention in the
council tonight.
Radical changes will be made in the
heating arrangements of st. Mary's
Catholic church. The church is heated
by steam, and the boilers are located in

boilers will be removed to the school
house, a sixty foot stack built, and both
church and school heated by steam.
