Early Sunday morning word was received at
the Station that the body of an unknown man
was lying near the track mile and a-half above
the Station. The Coroner being so far distant. it
was deemed advisable to hold an inquest without

inquest, finding that it was the body of Billy Pat
terson, a young colored man living in Ravenna.
He had been working in Atwater and was proba-
bly, trying to get ride home and fell from the

the head probably causing his death.

THE present Ohio congressional delegation
comprises 16 Republican ard Democratic
Representatives and Republican and Demo-
cratic Senator Last Fall, the vote of the State
showed Democratic plurality over 10000 This
injustice the Democrats propose to remedy by
redistricting the State in such manner as to
retire sufficient number of Republican Rep
resentatives to equalize the matter. and at the
same time secure to themselves just compen-
sation for the unfair deprivation imposed upon
them for so many years by their unscrupulous
and constituencies opponents
All other things being equal, the State should
be represented in the House by II Democrats
and 10 Republicans, but until the Democrats
right the enormous wrongs practiced upon them
by the present lawless assemblage of Republi-
can statesmen at Washing ton, it is idle to talk
of an equal division'' in Ohio's delegation
The Democrats of this State have for years
| been denied their natural and intended to be-
constitutional right of equal representation in
the popular branch ef Congress, and it is their
manifest duty to secure all they possibly can of
the next delegation in justice to themselves.
and in conformity to the demands of the citizens
| of the State.
The Republicans have said by their past ac-
tions: "Our Democratic friends. we will for
what lies before us to be sure. you are entitled
| to more than we propose to give yon, but some
time in the future YOUR time will come. and
| YOUR share will then be what ours now is, and
| thus the matter will be equalized. OF course,
we hall keep our present self apportioned share
| as long as we can, but if reduced to minority,
realize what consequences will most properly
| follow"
| by their fruits ye shall know them" The
present Congress is Republican; what Demo.
| Gratis are there mi ght as well be in Labrador as
| far as taking any part in the enactment Of
Federal laws is concerned. They are bulldozed
into the silence of a helpless minority and then
made to contribute by their presence" to the
| consummation of those damnable schemes orig
mated by Republicans, whereby Represents
| tives of their own party-honestly and fairly
elected-are eusted and their places filled by
Republicans who have no more right to theil
seats than the blighted Foraker has to a seat il
| the German Reichstag.
| Therefore, in addition to the duty of securing
| equal representation for the majority, and o.
taking simply what belongs to them, thus
bringing about an equitable average, it is tht
further duty of the Buckeye Democrats to dt
| all in their power to put stop to the abuses
| going on at Washington every day, committed
| by the Republican majority, who always ruI
riot and betray their trusts when placed in
position to do so. 1t is duty they owe to tn,
nat ion. to say nothing of what is due Ohio.
When the proper time comes. we shall be il
favor of any bill that will secure to each politira
party just proportionate representation in tn
| House of Congress but under the present cir
cumstances, Justice demands that the entir
Ohio delegation be Democratic if possible.

avenue, at 2:2o o'clock Tuesday morning, after
lingering illness. He had been in i'll health
during the past four years, and went to Europe
for relief, but received no permanent benefit
from the trip. Until within the past three or
four weeks he has been able to be about but
during that time has been confined to the house.
While his death was not wholly unexpected, ii
came with suddenness that shocked the COM
munity. He was IS years old.

In the Popular Science Monthly for January,
1890. is very interesting paper, written by Ben

conclusion must be correct as figures cannot lie.
Taking all things into consideration, or many
things. 1 cannot dispute his conclusions. Educa-
tion without moral training does not make men
any better and if they are disposed to do evil it
gives them more power to work iniquity. THE

religion with science. Turning the Bible out of
