.OH|O's CENTENNIAL
Repeat from the begiaaiag to FINE.

One hundred years have vanished
Since sturdy pioneers
First cleared away the forests,
(, The growth OF countless years,
And after weary conflicts
Against rugged fate,
They laid the first foundation
OF this great Buckeye State.
Behold the countless wonders
This century has shown;
A hundred thriving cities
Upon the plains have grown;
And oil and gas and iron,
Crops from the first ground,
While art and science flourish
And wealth and peace abound.
All honor to those pioneers
That opened up this great State;
Let's hasten its centennial
With pOmp to celebrate.
And should you need good clothing,
That's stylish. strong and nice,
Remembar KnOte, the cl0thier.
Will save you half the price.
OF all Ohio's marvels
The Globe store takes the lead.
For KnOte has lots Of bargains
Who's like is rare indeed.
His goods are of the finest
His prices make furore-
Ohio's great achievement
Is K9ote's cheap clothing store.

ON THE RECORD.
Tho Republicans Opposed to the Sunday
Closing Bill.


COLUMBUS, o., April il6.-Aftera a hang
on fight on the part of the Democratic
members of the senate the Republicans
were put on record as fatty opposing
the Owen Sunday closing bill The
second attempt, which proved success
tul, was not made until the Republi-
cans had been given ample time TO cor
slider their conduct and bring the bill
before the senate.
The question was opened when Mr..
Sinnett moved the committee on muni-
cipal affairs be discharged from further
consideration of house bill No. 100 by
Mr.. Owen. Mr.. Sinnett stated that he
desired to test the
SINCERITY OF THE MORAL SENTIMENT
which was said to exist on the Repub-
lican side of the chamber.
Mr.. Rannells replied that the Repub-
licans proposed passing the bill some
time, but not until they got ready; and
they wanted to do it without the aid of
the Democratic members.
Mr. Morrison rushed to the rescue of
his madly inclined colleagues with a
motion to lay Mr.. Sinnett's motion on
the table. The Democrats Immediate
ly demanded the yeas and nays, but
were completely ignored and amid con
fusion Mr. Lyon put the motion and de-
clared it carried. Mr.. Sinnett arose and
asked if the chair proposed to deny the
Democratic members their rights and
privileges guaranteed by the established
rules of the Senate. He denounced the
conduct of the chair in severe language
as revolutionary and usurpatiOn of
power that would not be tolerated.
Having failed in this attempt a sec
Ond one was made with better results
Mr.. Braddock moving that the commit
tee be discharged from further cOnsid-
Grafton of the bill. Mr.. Morrison again
came forward with his motion to table,
and instantly the Democratic members
were on their feet loudly demanding the
as and nays. yeThe chair concluded
not to make another exhibition of arbi-
trary power, and the request was
granted,
Ihe motion to table was carried by
almost strict party vote, as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Adams, Braddock,
Ford, Huffman, Massie, Mehaffey, Mort
ley, Robertson, Sinnett, Wallace and
Zlmmerman-l2.
Nays-Messrs. Alexander, Barrett,
Brown, Cole, Cowgirl, Crook, Cutler,
Davis, Geyser, Glover, Kerr, Mack,
Morrison, Rannells, Rathbone, Bich-
ardson, Snyder, Steuve, Taylor, and
Townsend-20.
During the skirmish, Mr.. Owens, the
author of the bill, and several Republi-
lican members of the House were con-
sulting with Democratic members and
urging them to force the bill on the
Senate. A large delegation of ladies
were present and were enabled to un-
derstand why the Republicans should
so solidly oppose the bill. One of them
was heard to remark: why, those hor-
rible Republicans, 1 had no idea they
would oppose such bill" Another
said: 81 guess the Democrats are not
so mean as they are said. to be, after

ing to bring the investigation as close
to the White House as possible. Nc
Kean is member of the Democratic
State committee, and while in the pen
sion office was messenger in the line
of promotion. Through Representa-
tive SCOTS influence he secured the
position he now holds, which is no moe
desirable than the position he would
ultimately have secured had he remain

of the majority Of the Hale committee
to investigate Mexican is to make it
appear that the President rewarded
him for activity in Pennsylvania poll

Building,

What an Old Pioneer Says About the
Building.
The Canton Hardware company are
tearing away an old frame building
on West Seventh street, that has been
used as ware house by Johnson Sher-
rick, for the purpose of building an
addition to their hardware store and
extending it back to Court street. "The
demolition of this building recalls
some pleasant recollections" said an
old pioneer to a DEMOCRAT reporter
yesterday and he went on to give the
reporter little history of the building.
"The building was built in 1845 and
was used sometimes as theater, John
Bowers, Augustus Whiting, Christie
pher Columbus Whiting, Henry Moth
nagel, John G. Langhans, Henry Ertle
and Louis Schaefer were the actors.
We had performance there once a
week. Every Sunday evening we had
a Lyceum called 'Redeverrein.' We
discussed questions such as is
the doctrine of eternal punish
ment reasonable and rs sui
eide under any circumstances
permissible We also had band that
consisted OI ETellCn HOIuS, CldIlOuOgo,
drums, cymbals, &c. Our lyceum was
filed every Sunday eveing to such an
extent that the preachers interfered,
and tried to prevent their members
from attending it. We kept the lyceum
up for several years. The building was
afterwards sold to Christian Oberly who
converted the lower part into a vinegar
factory, and the upper part was used
for other purposes. Every Sunday
evening in addition to the debate, the
members had to deliver alternately a
lecture or read an essay. We would
generally take passages from scripture
for text. After the performance was
over, we would have nice social gath
ering and drink wine and beer, but at
no time would any one become intox-

MckINLEY's minority report opposes
the MIlis tariff reform measure, making
among its points, the statement that the
duty proposed of $I1 ton on steel rails
will shut up the rail mills. The Amer
ican steel rail mills are now making
contracts at $3l.50 per ton, without any
change in the tariff; the English price
for rails is S2O50 on the furnace bank,
and II the duty were reduced to S1i
per ton, not a rail could be imported,
because the freight charge would still
amount to an absolute prohibition.
Add Sl1 to S2O.50 and we have exactly
the price at which steel rails are now
turned out. 1t won't shut up the rail
mills, but it will stop the trust combi-
