Eighty Dollars in the sewer.

This morning Secretary LoichOt gave
Vinton +. Porter $50 in gold to pay the
guarantee for the two Toledo games.
In order that Mr.. Porter might not lose
it he went to the treasurer's Office and
had it exchanged for paper money. He
placed the money into new pocket
book and put it into his hip pocket.
While in the water closet at the Bar
nett House it accidentally fell down
the sewer. Mr.. Porter did not discover
that it was gone until few minutes
afterward. A search was made but it
could not be found. 1t is supposed to
have washed out into the creek.

CONKLING AND BLINE.

A bitter feud has long existed between
Roscoe Conkling and James &. Blaine
Twenty to thirty years ago they were
both in the House, and leaders,; and in
one of their parliamentary disputes
they both lost their tempers and gave
the largest latitude to invective! Since
then Blaine and Conkling have ever
met as strangers; they did not even
speak or nod as they passed by, and in
later. debates in the Senate, neither ever
alluded to the other beyond saying-"It
has been stated on this floor" etc, in
stead of referring to the Honorable
Senator from Maine" or the Honor
able Senator from New York" as is
the customary Senatorial courtesy.
Conkling's last direct allusion to
Blaine in public speech was in his
memorable Grafton nominating Gen
eral Grant in the Chicago Convention
of 1880, when he rang out singing
sentence against the popular candidate
that sent up a confused chorus of misses
and cheers from ten Thousand people
for many minutes, His last act in the
Blaine drama was the revolution of his
county, Oneida, where Cleveland re
ceived 30 majority over Blaine, and
where Garfield had received 1916 over
Hancock four years before. When it
is remembered that Cleveland's major
ity in the State was only 1, 100, and that
the change in Conkling's county alone
was 1875, the CGn'kling death-blow to
the Plumed Knight will be appreciated.
The death of Conkling removes from
the political arena the most dreaded of
ali Blaine's many political foes, and it
is evident that Blaine's friends regard
the death of Conkling as removing one
of the most dangerous obstacles to
Blaine's success. Conkling feared no
man; bowed to no man; was a suppli-
cant to no man. He was alike stran-
ger to intimidation and to commercial
politics, and Blaine was without the at
tributes necessary to enlist Conkling in
his support; but Conkling is dead, and
the hopes of the friends of Blaine have
fresh revival over the fresh grave of
his inveterate political enemy.
That the friends of Blaine will be in
spired to increased energy and hope in
their cause by the death of Conkling,
there are unmistakable indications on
every side; and it is probable that the
the earnest efforts for Blaine exhibited
during the last few weeks, will be more
earnest and more general henceforth
than in the past. 1t is not impossible
now that the death of Conkling may de-
termine the trembling balance in favor
of Blane's denomination, and thus
shape the great national contest of 1885,

THE TARIFF DEBATE

So far, has developed little, except the
confession of many Republicans that
the Democrats have achieved great
superiority in the discussion. Little
attention, it seems, has been given to
any Republican except Burrows, while
the subscriptions for Mills speech in
pamphlet form reach 100000, not a sin
gle Republican member has subscribed
for Kelley's. Three good speeches are
yet to come-those of w. L. Scott and
the two Breckenridges. General Grosve-
nor made wild, rantlng speech yester-
day, but it sank, with the rest of its
kind, into the limbo of failures. Rep
resentative Scott is preparing a tariff
speech that will probably be delivered
during the present week, or early next
week. In it he will handle the ques.
ton without gloves, and his exposition
of industrial affairs in Pennsylvania
especially in the neighborhood of Pitts
burgh, as conducted under high tariff
promises to be sensational and personal
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1888-05-03

IT is admitted that Chairman Mills
full speech on opening the tariff debate
was equal to the occasion. 1t is a mat
ter of fact speech.
Mr.. Mills shows the origin and pro-
gress of the war tariff from moderate
schedule averaging 1S per cent. in 1851
and 40 per cent. during the five years
afterwards to an average of 40 per
cent. for the past year.
He points out the gradual abolition
of the internal revenue taxes Oh wealth
and its enterprises, until all that is left
of that stupendous system is the tax
on whisky and tobacco, while the war
tariff on the necessities of the people is
still at the highest point. The relation
of the tariff to exports and to wages is
discussed in clear and tellingmanner,
showing mastery of the subject with
which Mr.. Mills has not been generally
credited

THE independent Boston Transcript
says the platform of the Massachusetts
Republicans "has no uncertain sound,
and will tend to strengthen civil service
reform, which had begun to be a sub.
ject of derision among professional
politicians" Sensible independents
seem to be gradually learning that the
Republican party is not such terrible
set of spoilsmen as the adulators Of
pretentious Cleveland tried to paint it..
-TCleveland Leader.
And yet, where have the Republicans
in Congress made one effort to carry
out their own platform of 1884? They
then promised to correct the inequali-
"ties of the tariff and reduce the
Surplus" Have they done it? Have
they not opposed every effort in that
direction? Are they not doing it now?
Is it not spoils to take more money
from the people than the government
needs

He wonld Not Get q Permit.

A petition has been filed in the Court
of Common Pleas by Auditor Manly,
against Orrin Barber for the sum of
800. The petition alleges that the de-
fendant exhibited show in Canton in
April, 1888, and that the said defendant
had no permit from the Auditor or
Treasurer of the county and did not
pay the amount due for said permit,
and having exhibited said show in Can
ton without permit the said defend
ant is indebted to the plaintiff in the
sum of 800. The case was originally
brought before Justice Wettach, and
Judgment having been rendered against
the defendant he appealed the case tc
the Common Pleas Court.

That is the Sum Which the Can
ton Gas Company
Expect to Spend for Canton Labor in
Extending Their Lines this Sum-
mer---A Prosperous Com
pany.

The Canton Gas Works have bee
under control of the present manage
ment something like a year now, AM
it is fast developing into one of tn
most prosperous industries i'll the cit,
of Canton.
A DEMOCRAT reporter called upoi
Superintendent Bate, of the Gas Com
pany Last evening and asked him how
things were coming along in the insti
tuition of which he had charge.
"Well, sir" said he, 81 have some hes
itancy about airing my thoughts
through the newspapers, but since you
request it, will state a few facts We
expect to double our retort capacity
this summer. The present capacity is
10000 cubic feet Of gas every "a hours
We expect that by next winter to man
ufacture some 100000 cubic feet. Then
we shall put in new purifying, con-
densing and exhausting machine, and
new steam supplies We expect to
supply an increased number of private
families with gas this coming winter.
We shall lay a line of S-inch pipe on
Tuscarawas street west of the Dueber
Works. TO do this will require the
labor of a goOdly number of men, and
the work will be performed by Canton
workmen. The gas company will, it is
expected, more than double their terri
tory inside of year,
"There are now about eight miles of
pipes in the city belonging to the com
pany. We will lay new piping to the
extent of seven or eight miles this sum
mer. The pipe, so much as can be pro
cured, will be purchased here in Can
ton. The labor will all be home labor,
and the cost for laying these extensions
will be in the neighbOrhood of eight or
ten thousand dollars. So you see that
we will distribute quite little fortune
among the workmen of Canton this
summer"
Is the company satisfied with the
amount of lighting awarded it by the
City Council?" asked the reporter.
Perfectly. The Council showed that
it was taking an interest in the gas
works, and gave us very tlattering
testimonial of that interest. By so do
ing, it has enabled us to go on in our
work, and we can extend our business
gradually but surely. AS l said before,
we expect to supply private families
with gas, and we estimate that $50 per
cent. more private consumption will be
obtained shortly. The gas company is
home enterprise, and we will endeavOr
to give value received for all favOrs
shown us. We will always aim to man
ufacture the very best quality of the
illuminant, and by adding improved
machinery from time to time, perfect
our works until they stand in the fore
most ranks"
1t will require a goodly number of
workmen to lay the proposed extensions
and the estimated cost of the same, as
given by Mr.. Bate-ten thousand dol
lars, represents just the amount which
will be disbursed among Canton work
men. ....
The gas company is in a fattering
financial condition, and under the pres
ent able management its future success
is assured.

THE Chicago Tribune, speaking OF the
moderation of Mills's opening speech
says ne seemed ito invite all Republi-
cans who would consent to moderate,
needed, and carefully guarded revis-
ion of the tariff to join him in amend
ing and perfecting the bill Of the com
mittee with these ends in view. 1t then
goes on:
How was this reasonable proposition
met by the Republican leaders2 Sim
ply by putting "Pig-Iron" Kelly for
ward to roar for free whisky, to oppose
reduction of the sugar tax, and insane
ly to denOunce any and all reform of
the tariff as meaning absolute "free
trade, blight and ruin" No wonder
many Western members hung their
heads in shame, and others hurried off
in disgust to the cloak rooms before
Kelly concluded HE imbecile TRADE.
"The only excuse offered" continues
this powerful Republican journal-pow-
erful beCSuse it has the backing of half
a dozen Western Republican States
"for permitting this subsidized, bigoted
chattering old crank to apIeir as the
spoA of the Rel 1blican party in
congress, was that he is "the father OF
the house," The Tribune continues
after this fashion:
The Tribune warns the Republicans
of the house that they are getting
into a position that is given their con
stituents in the West great deal Of
anxiety The Democratic party ma
jority reported bill which, while faulty
in several details, embraces a genera
policy that would be highly advantag
eous and beneficial to Western farmers
aud Western people generally. If ju
diciously amended the bill could be
made great blessing to the country
and no hardship would be inflicted OF
any honest class or any section.

suggesting such amendments or pre-
