The Washington Celebration.

From the Washington Critic.
Then Hale, of Maine the truly great,
Arose and said he'd like to state
That he himself, at least, for one,
Did not approve of Washington
As fit for those centennial shows
Which many people now propose;
Because her science, art and mills
Are not enough to ill the bills.
Oh, Halel What are you giving usl
Why do you want to raise a fuss?
Your hints, dear sir, are all in vain.
You cannot take the show to Maine;
Your science there is something grand,
To wit: To make that rock-ribbed land
Produce enough of grain aud hay
To furnish cash to get away;
You art is something, too, we think,
Grown great on how to get a drink;
And all your mills industrious hum
In grinding out fine chewing gum;
And though the sheep on all your hills
Are forced to wear their caSt-steel bills
To pick the grass some farmers son
Had planted with smoOth-bore gun;
And ice and snow and pine tree chips
Make up the commerce of your ships;
We tell YOU, Hale, in spite of these,
You never may expect to freeze
On to our great centennial show,
And take it off to Maine. you know,
Because the people want it done
In honor of our Washington!
And don't you forget it,!

Blairs Woman Suffrage Bill.


Senator Blair having got his educational
bill through the Senate, will now devote
much Of his attention probably to his bill
to cnfranchsc women. He is full Of pro
jects, Of one kind and another, and the
probabilities are that it will be sail of him
by his biographer that he attempted many
things and accomplished few II is not
probable that his bill for the enfranchise-
meut of women will ever get through the
Senate. The number of women who favor
it is not large, and it appears to be decreas-
ing Not near as much is being said in
favor Of woman suffrage now as there was
a few years ago
Senator Blair is not always fortunate in
the sources from which he draws arguments
in favor Of his measures, and he frequently
says things which subject him to rather
severe criticism. Some time ago, for in
stance in support of his bill for the enfran-
chlsement Of women, he quoted from
pamphlet of Mrs. G.. f. Corbin, of Chicago.
1t seems that he quoted only such parts as
suited his purpose, and which, taken from
the context, give the impression that she is
in favor of woman suffrage. As a matter
Of fact she is not, and she has taken occasion
to say so in a letter published in the
Chicago Tribune
In tine course of her letter she advances
some arguments in support of her views
which are worthy of being generally cir
culated. She believes that woman has
enough duties to perform already without
having imposed upon her any of those
which are now performed by men, and
which would, in a measure, unfit her for
some of the duties which she alone can per-
form. To Senator Blair's assertion that
women ask for suffrage, she replies by
asking what proportion of the 5000, 900 of
women in the United States he has heard
from, and leaves the inference that it is re-
markably small. She does not agree with
those who claim that women have no part
in guiding the worlds affairs. She declares
that their influence in the domestic circle is
almost absolute, and that they largely
shape the affairs of the world by molding
the men who shape them.
MAN, she says, lis in woman's power for
life or death, and for the first ten or fifteen
years of his exisience-and that tine deter
mining period of his career-her power over
him, physical, intellectual and moral, is 50
nearly supreme that no power he can &C
quire over her in later years can overbal-
ance it. The faithful intelligent mother
may make of her sons, in manners and
morals, what she will If American men
are to-day the narrowminded, tyrannical,
vicious creatures women suffragists charge
them with being, it is only because their
mothers neglected the opportunities nature
put in their hands"
Mrs Corbin is right. There is more need
of faithful and intelligent mothers than of
women in politics, and it is certain that if
women were to take an active part in poll
tics there would be fewer such mothers than
there are. If the standard of mothers were
to be lowered that of men would be lowered
also.

President Blood's Reasons for Widening
the Road to a Standard Gauge.
Cleveland & Canton preferred stock
has recently jumped in the Boston mar
ket from 251S to So President Blood
says it is worth 80. The net earnings
for 1887 have been about $4,000, or
Ia per cent. on the stock. A report
covering the roads operations for the
past year will soon be issued. The new
bonds have not yet been placed, and
may not be for several months. Presi-
dent Blood makes the following points
in behalf of the wisdom Of widening
the track:
First-It is able, as has been proved,
to earn $4,000 per annum as mar
row gauge, and at the same time i'm
prove and maintain its physical condi-
ton. A change of gauge to standard
would, in his opinion, increase the net
income fully 100 per cent. or $240 1000
per aEnum the first year thereafter,
Second This probable increase in
net earnings as result of changing the
gauge would be owing to the following
causes: A change of gauge would ena-
ble the Cleveland & Canton to make
traffic interchange with the following
standard gauge roads, which are now
crossed, but from which the Cleveland
& Cantonis now isolated. Those roads
are the Lake Shore, the New Y Ork, Chi
cago g. st. Louis, the Erie, Pittsburg &
Western, Cleveland, Lorain & Wheel
ing, Wheeling q Lake Erie, Cleveland
& Pittsburg, Pittsburg, TT, Wayne &
Chicago, p, G. & ST. L., and COshocton
y Southern, now being constructed,
and which will provide additional good
connections. And by the change Of
gauge and introduction of heavier roll
ng stock, the carrying capacity of the
road in tons will be doubled, and the
additional tonnage can be handled with
practically no extra expense. The bet
Jer connections possible for standard
%auge and the better rolling stock would
attract traffic worth 100000 in gross
revenue which is not now had.
The prejudice of the travelling public
against narrow gauge roads initiates
very appreciably against the Cleveland
q Canton at present.

A Young Man Walks About in His
Sleep.
he Falls From a Train Going at the Rate

....... Right Arm broken and
Head Cut. -.

Mr., John Lamiel, young man about
10 years Of age, who resides with his
father, Jacob Lamiel, about two miles
northwest of Marlboro, met with seri-
GUS accident last night on the Valley
Railway just north Of the depot He
got on the train at New Berlin station,
intending to come to Canton to attend
the county examination of teachers
today. After being in the train little
while he fell asleep and when it was
near McCurdy's Stove Works he got up
and walked out of the door and Off the
platform while the train was running
at the rate of 10 miles per hour Con-
ductor Smith happened to see him. fall
and the train was Immediately stopped
and backed up to see what was wrong.
They found Mr. Lamiel lying by the
side of the track and consider
ably hurt. He was picked up and car
ried down to the depot by the conduc-
tor and Fred. Lied, ticket agent at the
station. He was not altogether uncon-
scious but somewhat stupifed. He
told Lied and the conductor that he
thought the train was stopping when
he walked ont, but that he was in his
sleep and did not know what he was
doing DR.. 4. B. Walker was sent for
and was soon on hand. He took the
injured man to his office on North Pop
lar street and dressed his injuries.
Upon examination it was found there
was large cut on the top of his head,
and his right arm was badly broken at
the elbow. 1t was compound frac-
ture, the bones protruding through the
skin. After the young mans wounds
were dressed he was removed by the
physician to the residence of his broth
er-inIaw Mr.. Charles Menegay, on South
Market street. Ticket agent Lied says
that had there been any cars standing
on the siding where the accident occur
red, the young man would have been
instantly killed. DR.. Walker visited
the injured man this morning, and re-
ports him doing well under the circum-
stances. The injured man is brother
to Mr., Henry j. Lamiel of this city.
