The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-09-14
The Platform.

/. The Democracy Of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, approve the
declaration of principles made by
the National Democracy in ST.
Louis, in 1883, and especially that
part of it demanding reduction of
tariff taxes. We will continue the
battle for tariff reform until the
cause of the people is triumphant.
3. We regard trusts, in whatever
form organized, as the legitimate
result of our present tariff system,
and we demand the repeal of all
tariff taxes that enable them to eX-
tort from the people eXorbitant
prices for the products they con-
troll.
3. We again acknowledge the
great debt of gratitude the nation
owes to the heroes of the late war,
and we declare in favor Of Just, lib
eral, and equitable pension laws.
4. We denounce the Republican
administration for it's repeated
violation of its pledges in behalf of
civil service reform.
8. We denounce the present
State administration as the most
partisan, demoralizing and extra
VACANT in our history. We invite
the careful investigation of all citi-
Zens into our financial affairs as
shown by the official records.
6. We protest against the repeat
ed enactment of laws vesting the
appointing power in the governor,
enabling him to control the local
boards of our leading cities. While
depriving them of fself-government,
it constructs a vast political ma
chine that is at all times danger
GUS, and in the hands of II partisan
chief executive has become a posi-
tive menace to the people of the
State.
7. The nomination of the COVER
nor of Ohio for third term, in vio-
lation of all precedent, by the no.
torious and disgraceful use of pat
ronage at his command, is an out
rage against the people and should
be rebuked at the polls. We hearth
~ favor home rule in Ireland. We
demand it also for Ohio. While
favoring all laws that sacredly pro-
tect the ballot box and the honest
voter, we demand the enactment
of laws that will enable cities to
choose their own servants and con-
troll their own affairs.

The Concentration of Wealth.

Thomas j. Shearman deals with
this question in the September
number of the Forum. He says:
"Leaving mere clamor and un-
supported assertions out of consid-
eratlon on either side, let us
look into facts. As lately as lS47
there was but one man in the
country whose rcputed wealth ex-
ceeded FIVE millions, and though

The Stewardship of the Athens
Asylum.

Since the forced resignation of
r. E. Hamblin, which was de-
manded by j. Brassgod Foraker,
andthe turmoil consequent thereon,
the board of managers have been
trying to find some Republican to
fill the position, and at first offered
the place TO Mr.. w. +. Scott, of
Athens who declined the honor.
OF the subsequent proceedings OF
theBoard, the AthensHerdld says:
"At the meeting Tuesday of this
week Mr.. AL Drake, of Macarthur,
was elected to the position, and
has accepted. Mr.. Drake is one
of the prominent Republicans of
Vinton county, and we believe,
will make an efficient Steward
His selection is one of the very
best that could have been made"
The "Mr. Al Drake" referred to
is well known to our people as a
genial easy-going fellow but in
what his fitness for the position of
Steward consists, does not appear
on the surface. For many years
AL Drake has been II livery-stable
proprietor in the Village of Nc
Arthur, and reputed a good judge
of horses.
He was appointed Ry. Postal |
Clerk under the present Harrison,
but failed to catch fast grip.
His experience in providing q
menu for stable of livery plugs
will no doubt be of great service to
him in providing for the wants Of
the inmates of the asylum. Hay,
oats, corn and mill-feed in abun-
dance will no doubt fill long felt
want.
How barren of good men for the
position the Republican party
must be, when the appointment of
AL Drake "Is one of the very best
that could have been made"

ALL the trustees of the Athens
insane asylum are Republicans
Captain II. M. Horton, of Pomeroy,
has Just resigned, because three of
the FIVE members of the board
obeyed the behest of the autocrat
of the executive Office, and removed
Robert j.. Hamblin, the faithful,
honest and efficient steward, on
account of his politics. He has
been the chief financial officer of
that institution through more than
six administrations, of both politi-
cal parties, and Captain Horton
says che has record as clear as
the monday sum-" and yet, Fora
ker demanded his removal, and
the appointment of one of his
henchmen.-Col's Post.
MORE EDUCATIoN.-And now it
is the protected glass manufacture
ers who are combining to get what
they paid for in contributing to the
republican campaign fund to Sc
cure flour years more" of high
bounties.
According to that friendly auth
ority, the Tribune, "a large num-
ber of glass manufacturers have
formed n Trust under the name of
the United Glass Company, whose
object is to cheaper the production
of all varieties of glass" And "it
has begun by a,,nuOncing reduc-
tiOn in ,cages of Is per cent, to be-
gin Sept. 1st.
Is this the feast to which the
glass-workers were invited when
they marched in procession shout
ing for "no free trade" and bearing
banners with the motto, "Protec
tion and High Wages 2"
The glass manufacturers enjoy
the protection of duties ranging
from 60 to 10S per cent,-many of
them prohibitory. Having, Sc
cured, as they suppose, "four years
more" of control of the home
market, they combine to put down
wages with one hand and to raise
prices with the other. This is pro-
lection with a vengence.
We rather think there will be
'attling of broken glass in the next
Y. World.

Continuing he says:
"This estimate is very far below
The actual truth. Yet upon this
basis we are confronted with the
startling result that $1,000 persons
now possess three fifth of the total
national wealth, real and PERSONAL
according to it's highest estimate
which is $6O,OOO,OOO,OOO."
And all this is accomplished in
40 years, in fact nearly all since
1860.
AS these favored few pile up
their colossal fortunes, the great
portion of our people are yearly
growing poorer being robbed by
the tariff fraud for no other pur-
pose than to build up in our midst
an aristocracy of wealth.

The Wondc ock.

These long -beeked. migratory birds,
which are as interesting to the gour-
mand as to the hunter. says German
paper, are in Germany only for IL short
time in the spring and fall, during
their passage through the country.
The woodcocks remain concealed in
the darkness of the woods ali day and
do not leave their hiding place until it
begins to grow dark; then, in the
spring, they first fly in zig-zags
around the edges of the woods, often
in twos or threes. finally coming to the
open, damp places of the woods, to the
pastures, or to the edges OF water
food, which preferably consists of
different kinds OF worms and insect
Larvae. In the morning twilight the
woodcock repeats this zig-zag flight
and searching for worms. At their
breeding places they fly in the same
way again as soon as the young brood
is able to take care of itself, but in the
late fall the birds seldom move in this
way. They then generally hurry to
the feeding places.
In these places the ground is perfo-
rated by numerous small holes, each
havinga diameter about equal to that
of a thin lead pencil. which are formed
by the continuous pushing in and pull
ing out of the woodcock's long bill.
The sensitive soft point of the upper
bill forms feeling apparatus with the
help of which the bird discovers the
presence of II worm under the surface
of the ground. He possesses the
power of arching the upper part OF the
bill from the middle of its length and
then closing the points SO as to grasp
the worm

In one of the asylums where are
kept those unfortunates who know SO
much that their fellow-mortals are
as lunatics was an old gentleman who
in his day had been somewhat famous
as teacher. says the Boston Courier.
He had been at the head of school
for boys in which had been educated
some of the leading men of his part of
the country, and it may have been the
strain of training their unusually bril-
liant intellects that had so marred his
own. He was a harmless, pleasant old
gentleman, only now and then doing
anything which gave trouble to those
about him, and most of his time he
passed in celebrating theories in re-
gard to the best methods of education.
His theories had not always the ad
vantage of being practicable, but they
were generally ut least ingenious. and
it would be rash TO say that they have
not yet been tried.
Il have been thinking Il good deal
latelyn he observed on one occasion.
.'of the difficulty we have nowadays in
teaching boys the languages. There
is an awful sight of work wasted some
where, and have concluded that after
all we make II great mistake in not
going back to the bible method after
all"
THE bible method?" repeated his
hearer. "What is that, Mr.. H.?
Why, don't you remember how
they learned the language in the
bible? They just built big tower
and then they all got struck with the
language without any further trouble"
/ 1t is Il pity that no note has been
made Of the effect upon the linguistic
powers OF the workmen which has
been made by the erection OF the Eiffel
tower, for here was an opportunity OF
putting Mr.. HIS theory to u practical
/ test.
On another occasion he spoke OF the
attempt TO invent flying machines, and
| observed with the greatest solemnity:
''The way TO learn to fly is to eat
worms. It's the wiggle in worms that
does it, and if | wanted to teach boys
to fly should make them eat worms.
1t is this way providence intended

1.-THE newsDoys began to realize that
perhaps their friend Billy was in
trouble, too. They knew that money
cures many things, and after mo-
ment's consultation half dozen of
them took up Il collection. A spokes-
man was appointed. He hurried
into the bank, handed Il tiny brown
paper parcel to Mr.. Riddle with the
simple words, Here, Billy" and was
gone. That brown paper contained
the 9S cents. Riddle wouldn't have
taken thousands for them. Afterward,
when he was tried and acquitted
through cN-Judge Curtiss' most elo-
quent presentation of the facts, the
judge wouldn't take any fee from his
old friend except that tiny brown par
celn
