HOW nvrRtnopY IS RoBRnp.

A well known Canton citizen has
inst ordered a suit of clothes of a lead
ing Canton tailor. The following is
the amount of tariff taxes that he is
compelled'to pay;

Who pays this unnecessary tax; dc
you ask paa.Jp uia-
why the man who pays for the
clothes; of course,
Where does this money for the mate
rial go.to? tr4
1t goes into the pockets of the foreign
manufactures, less $12.91, which goes
into the .. IS Treasury, as so much dead
money, withdrawn from circulation.
Whom doestthis kind of a tariff ben
fit? 9ga 4l
No one but the foreign laOorer anu
the foreign manufacturer.
Whom does it injure?
Everybody who wears clothes.
And the Republican party proposes
to keep up this robbery by law upon
everybody who wears clothes, in order
to give us all cheaper whisky.
A Canton tailor has just purchased
521b yards of serge goods, upon which
the tariff is 80 cents per pound and 80
per cent. ad valorem. The tariff tax on
this bolt of goods, alone, amounts to
$500, and yet there is only II manu-
factory in the United States that makes
this class of goods, The millions who
wear serge goods are all taxed for the
supposed benefit of one man; and yet
the woods are full of ignOramuses
shouting for dear clothes and protec-
ton. when everybody is robbed and
nobody is protected.

"a WAsHINGToN special states that
the Republican Senators are not able to
agree on a tariff bill. One Senator
said: "We cannot agree any more than
the House, and it is no use to try"
This is quite remarkable for a party
that claims to be solid for Protection.
Let it be recorded, that up to date,
neither the Republicans of the House,
nor the Senate, haye been able to agree
upon anything. This is a sad pickle, is
it not, little Benny?

TIE Sanitary Era says: "The cost OF
sickness and death, that is paid in the
United States to save the expense of
purifying water, defeating waste and
sanitary policing in general, is estimat-
ed, on the low basis Of $3.50 as the cash
value of a life to the community, at not
less than $5OO,0OO,000 a year, two hun
bred millions for more than 10000
persons slain by strictly ~preventable
diseases" A gentleman who has given
much thought and has had a long eX-
p%erience with sanitary movements in
cities, visited Canton yesterday, and
was shown the city by a reporter of
the NEWS DEMOCRAT His remarks
were "what a beautiful city and
what a healthy location for
a city, but how can you be healthy here
with no system of sewerage? Do YIN
remember the scourge of Memphis +?
The good people of Canton should not
allow another summer to pass without
a thorough and complete sewerage sys-
tenn" Bids are to be opened on Friday
noon for a start in the general sewerage
system of Canton, and we trust there
will be no delay in pushing the work

CANTON AND SPRINGFIELD.

There appears powerful opposition
in Springfield, Mass, to the removal OF
the Hampden Watch Factory to Can
ton. A report says that when, last
week, a number of ladies and gentle
men left there to come to Canton, a
brass band and a choir Of lady song,
steers escorted them to the depot, sing
ing "Home, Sweet Home" and
"Days of Absence" the brass
band accompanying the vocalists.
The idea was to discourage those con-
templating removal to a better coun'
try. Mr.. Schaefer, of ours, suggests
that on the arrival in Canton, Of the
train beriDg the Hampden people,
next Friday, a choir of our ladies &C,
companied by our Grand Army Band
playNand sing, "From Greenlald's ley
Mountains" and give them:
Our city still shall lift her spires;
Near Erie's shore, from age to age;
With Hampden and the Dueber Works;
Wen gem with stars our history page!

The Amende Honorable.

There is a man in Pittsburg rash
enough to claim that he prepared the
tariff plank of the Republican plat
form. Heretofore that doubtful honor
has been accorded to Major Mckinley,
of Ohio. We take occasion to congrat-
ulate the Major and to apologize for our
cruel and unjust susplcions.-Kansas

THERE are some Republicans who
are saying that the Democratic party is
unfriendly to soldiers. And yet the
statistics show, that for the year end
ing June 80, 1883, there were five thou.
sand more pensions allowed than for
any previous year, since the war closed.
This is certainly a remarkable record
and ought to silence all cavil.

CLEvELAND's letter of acceptance is

THE MassiIlOn Independent (Rep)
finds fault because Mr.. J. X. Russell, of
MaSsillon, sent his letter declining to
support Harrison to the NEws-DEMo-

two reasons for this: First, he knew
the NEws-DEEoCRAT was anxious for
this class of news; and second, he want
ed to give his views the widest possible
circulation.

THE Democrats are now solid on
a tariff tax reduction bill, but the Re-

lakes to catch fish with a seine, but on one
of the members stating his belief that such
authority had been granted by a recent ses-

We have examined the laws and believe the
member was mistaken, the right to seine by
act Of March ~, 1885, only being granted in
Yellowstone below Clark's Fork. Anyone
can make complaint in a court of competent
jurisdiction against any person or persons
for infraction of the game laws, but if this is
not done it is the duty of the District Court
to call the attention of the Grand Jury to
the provisions of the game laws. If fish are
being taken anywhere in the County by

brought before the Grand Jury. The Shoot

Horrible Death.
Special to the Independent.

COMET, March Ga Cornishman, aged
80 years, ar old employee of the Comet mine,
a property belonging to the Helena Mining
& Reduction Company, was killed on Friday
afternoon. The accident was a most horrible
one, aud is without a parallel in Montana.
He was standing in the 100-foot level talking
down the shaft when the cage came down,
cutting his head off from the mouth. The
b%eheading was as clean as though done by a
guillotine. The blood spurted 30 feet, the
vicinity of the accident presenting a most
sickening sight. First the headless trunk
and then the head was brought to the sur
face. The body was livid, all the blood
having been forced out Of it. The head was
a horrible sight, covered with mud, and
bloodless, the jaws conyulsive]y opening and
shutting, the eyelids doing the same. An
inquest was held, the jury generating the
company. He was buried at Boulder on Sat
urday. The deceased was unmarried, and
leaves a mother and father.

I I ON THE TRACK.
Accidental Killing Of John Ganley on Last
Tuesday Evening.

] John Ganley has been Road Supervisor OF
Helmville District. in Nevada valley. the
past year. On Monday last he came in to
make his settlement with the Commissioners,
and having transacted his business, was
about to return home last Tuesday evening,
when he missed the $40 passenger train,
bound for Garrison. He then concluded to
90 by the freight train, which leaves imme-
diately after the sos p. m. train goes south.
As the train came to the depot from the wa
ter tank siding, it had some switching to do
at the Deer Lodge siding, and commenced
shifting in cars before it pulled the caboose
up to the platform. Ganley had bought his
ticket, and going out on the platform, evil
IDENTIFY concluded to walk back to the caboose
and get on. Part Of the train had pulled
ahead, leaving an interval between it and
the catoose, Freddie Wildman followed
him out, and, thinking he was intoxicated,
cautioned him not to make an attempt to get
on the train, as he might get run over. Gan
ley then asked him if that was the caboose
back there. The lad told him .syes," and
again told him he had better not 60 back, that
the conductor would stop for him, etc. But
Ganley still kept on. The boy remained on
the platform, where this talk occurred. It
was dark, and showing and blowing at the
time, SO that objects could only be seen a
short distance of. Meantime John Daily,
brakeman, who was standing south of Third
street, gave Conductor Miles the signal to
back up. The train came back slowly.
Daily saw some object, a person or animal,
on the track, and halloed to ''look OUT" but
no reply. A moment later he saw
light in the middle of the track, as if some
one was lighting q cigar. He repeated his
warning cry three or four times-the train
all the while. As he was about to,
make the coupling, he heard the brake beam
rattle, and thought to himself, 'there must
be some n under there" As soon as he
