left Canton for Wooster this morning, ar

with the Governor until he reached his
destination On arriving az Wooster an i'm
msnse throng crowded the station and the
city was in gay holiday attire. Governor
Hill addressed monster Open-air mass

The Governor spoke at length on the tariff
question. and also on the election bill. Re-
garding the latter, he said: There i'll moth
ing taken place in any part of the South to
justify the exercise OF the doubtful power of
Congress to regulate our elections"
lie denounced the Force Bill' as a
authority, a menace TO our
theory of Government and an insult to the
people of the States. The States have al
ways regulated their own Congressional
elections. They should be permitted to con-
tinue TO do so. Tie refusal Of such priyil-
eye is policy Of force aud partnership. A
mere recital of the details Of the proposed
measure is sufficient to make it execrable
The tendency of such legislation would
be to provoke conflict between
race prejudices would be engendered at the
South. This Force Bill is vicious attack
upon a Republican form of Government.
Those who affect TO think the people do not
understand this issue are not aroused to its
Importance mistake the signs Of the
times and the character and temper
of the American people. In CONVEX
saton with Major Mckinley to-day he
told me it was the intention of the present
Republican Congress to pass the Force Bill
before its expiration, no matter which party
was successful in the coming elections. If
they do not carry the next election you can
rest assured they will not pass the bill"
The Governor addressed another audience
this evening at the Opera House and later
left for Massllon.

THE PRINCIPLE AT STAKE.

Portland Oregonian: The Lutherans
and Catholics, who are making such q
vigorous and systematic campaign for
the repeal of the compulsory educate q
laws in Illinois and Wisconsin, are try
ing to obscure the vital principle al
stake in the contest, by DENYING in tot
the right of the state to interfere with OF
control the manner of private education.
These people say they have no quarrel
with the principle of compulsory educa-
ton; that they DO not deny the right OF
the state TO insist that all the children OF
its citizens shall attend school for a Ger.
tain number of hours in each week. be-
tween certain ages. This they think is
conceding to the state its full right. In
truth il comedies nothing at all. The
right of the state to enforce The educa-
ton of its children is barren, if it disre-
CARDS the purpose of education. which
is to make good future citizens. If the
state has the right to prescribe educa.
ton as a civil duty. it has the right to
prescribe within certain broad lines the
kind of education.
