Doines in the Social World.

Passion week was the scene of numerous
college reunions. alumni bauquets and school
receptions and also of the very enjoyable re-
ception rendered the distinguished artist
Charles S. Reinhart. In Beaver Falls there
was d rather unique and notable event. It
was nothing more nor less than gentlemen's
tea given at a leading hotel there by the
prominent professional and business men of
TIE place. They, it seemed, became weary OF

while their wives were cut to pink teas, blue
teas and 6 o'clock teas, and made determined
strike in the tea line themselves.
With women in all professions and invading

men, and with men even going SO far into
Roman's domain as to indulge in the hereto
fore strictly feminine pastime OF drinking tea,

Everybody Eats Crackers.

Everybody eats crackers, and conse-
quently anything relating to their manu-
facture and sale is of general interest.
There was time in the history OF the
business when crackers were all about the
same. One brand was just about as good
as another, and none OF them were good
enough to be any very great temptation TO
q delicate stomach. That time has passed
1t was good many years ago. The
crackers OF the present day and genera
ton are as different as day from night.
There are good crackers and bad crack
ers fresh crackers and stale crackers,
and of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the country
who sell stale, unpalatable crackers be-
cause they can get them cheap anu make
big profit on them. They think their
customers don't know the difference, and
bye and bye when their cracker trade Is
all gone, and they don't sell a box in q
week, they look surprised and say: Fun
ny how peoples tastes change. They
don't care for crackers any more"
Don't they, though. People don't care
for stale, unwholesome crackers, that's
true, but they do care for a cracker that is
as an article OF food, The Marvin factory
on Liberty street, Plttsburg, is scarcely
able 10 fill its orders. II 10 turning out
more crackers to-day than IL ever did be-
fore, and the trade Is still growing. Why
is il? Its simple enough. Marvins crck-
ers are the best that are made. People
who use them once invariably want them
again, and the grocer who sells
them always finds that they not
only prove good source OF revenue TO
him, but make his store popular with the
people. /,
bakers, of the very purest and best mate
rails obtainable; they are sent out from
the factory fresh from the ovens, and are
never rendered unwholesome and unpal-
atable as we'll by being stored IN q ware
house for a month or two waiting for
orders. The orders are always waiting
for the crackers. Always ask for Mar
WINS Crackers at your GroceTs, Ii you
are not already familiar with them. try
them and be convinced OF the truth of all
that has been said about them. You'll
never regret it.-[The Pennsylvania

WHATS the matter with the "home
market" for iron. The tariff is ample.
And yet of the twelve furnaces in the
Mahoning valley, ten are out of blast,
and thousands of men are idle, and
many thousand poor children are
hungry for the bread of life. In the
Shenango Valley, up to date, $4,000
more tons of iron were produced last
year than this year, and there isenough
iron ore piled up on the docks in Cleye-
land to run all the furnaces in both the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys for a
year. What's the matter with Protec-
tion and the Mckinley bill? Can the
authors of this iniquity and a bank

THE Alliance Review Of Monday
prints an interview with Gov. Camp
bell, which is substantially the same as
the one printed in the NEws-DEMo-
Graf. Gov. Campbell took supper at
the Russell House, Alliance, on Satur-
day evening, and met quite a number
of the Alliance Democrats. Many Re-
publicans also called on him. The Re-
view makes the following observa-
tions:
Governor Campbell Is very pleas
ing gentleman and good mixer. Not
wIthstanding the factional opposition
to him he will be nominated, and it
will require united ard harmonious &C
tion on the part of the Republicans TO
defeat him. Gov. Campbell assisted in
the dedication of the Presbyterian
church at Ada, yesterday, and Commits
sloner Hancock spent Sunday at Crest

DIED In THE STREET.
Unfortunate Death of Joshua Al
bridge This Morning.
The Remains Found at the Corner Of East
Fifth and North Cherry streets--oor.
oner opsnhimer's Investigation. +

Joshua Aldridge was found dead at the
corner OF East Fifth and North Cherry
streets this morning shortly before three
o'clock. Coroner John H. Openbimer
was at once notified and viewed the re-
mains.
1t seems that AldridRe had been drink
ing hard for the past week and was ar
rested last Saturday night for drunken
ness. He was released Sunday morning
and since that time has been keeping up
his spree. 1t Is supposed that his death
was due TO heart failure. There were n
few superficial marks on his face, but
nothing that would have caused death.
DR.. e. ]. March will hold post mortem
on the remains.
Aldridge is we'll connected and has been
residing at Dell Roy, where he has been
engaged in the marble business. The re-
mains we're discovered this morning by
Messrs. George Mist and Edward Albert.
II is not known where Aldridge spent last
night. He was seen about ten o'clock by
Marshal Gentry, and at that time didn't
appear to be under the influence OF liq-
uor.
His brother N. ]. Aldridge is proprietor
Of the Aldridge Hotel at Carrollton. He
was notified Of his brothers. sad death and
wired the coroner to have the remains
sent to Carrollton. The deceased has two
brothers William and Conrad who are
prosperous farmers living near Dell Roy.
A sister Mary lives with them.
The deceased had s3.4s on bis person
when found this morning. George Tres
sci, who knows the deceased well, identiz
fed the body this morning at McCrea's
undertaking rooms.
About year ago Aldridge had narrow
escape from instant death. He was lying
on the platform at Scott's station and was
struck by the steps of caboose. He was
uninjured, but the steps were broken of.
The remains will be sent to Carrollton.
Drs. March and Landor held post NOR
tenn examination this morning over the
remains of the man in McCrea's undertake
ing rooms. Death was the result OF an
anti-mortem heart clot, probably the re-
suit of excess in drinking. The remains
are still in the undertaking rooms OF II.

A sN1DR JOURNAL.
From the zanesyIIIe slgnal.

We advise every Democratic paper of
Ohio to warn its readers against sub.
scribiug for the false and fraudulent
Ohio Farmer. 1t is false and fraudulent
because 1t is run in the interest of mo-
nopoly, while pretending to represent
the masses; It is false and fraudulent be.
cause its millionaire farmer owner pre-
tends to sympathize with the agricul-
tural class, when he SCOTS and scerns
them in private life; it is false and
fraudulent because 1t pretends to be
non-partisan, and In that guise stabs
every Democrat 1t possibly can; 1t is
false and fraudulent because it pretends
to be first class agricultural paper,
while it is recognized by intelligent
men as a snide, in comparison with
agricultural papers, both in the east
and west.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Daniel Stanford Killed at West
BrOOkf Id Last Evening.

A sad accident occurred at West Brook
field near Massillon last evening. Daniel
Stanford, 81 years old, has been sick since
February and went to work yesterday. A
short time afterwards workmen heard q
loud noise and found that quantity of
slate had fallen. 1t was found that STAN
ford had been buried under the falling
slate and the pick which he was handling
had been driver into his abdomen. The
slate was SO heavy that it took several
men to raise it. Stanford must have suf-
fered excruciating agony ere he died. The
funeral will be held tomorrow. Deceased
was single man.
The mine in which he was killed is
Massillon mine No. 2, known as the Krause
mine. Coroner Openhimer was sum-
moned and is investigating.

THE North American Review for
May prints a very valuable article by
the Hon. Edward j. Phelps on IRE
sponsible Wealth. AS 1t is written by a
thorough student of affairs and human
itarian, and not by a mere politician, 1t
has great value to US all. We shall not
attempt summary of the article, as all
the points are so compactly stated that
condensation is, jmpracticable, but we
wish TO quote briefly from that portion
Of the article that treats of the dangers
that now threaten our free institutions
from plutocratie control of National
legislation. The purchase by very rich
men of places in the Senate, where they
can sit and make laws in the interest of
monopoly and defy the masses of the
people is a crying evil depleted in vivid
form By Mr.. Phelps. 1t is fresh In
memory that Major Mckinley, in his
speech at the recent milllonaires' ban
quet, made the open boast that his new
tariff could not be repealed, even IL re-
pudiated by the people at popular
elections, because the Senate stood in
the path. OF the danger of this pluto
cratic Senate Mr.. Phelps speaks:
"The political power of the country
is thus in danger of passing into the
hands of plutocracy, composed not of
the best class of the rich, but of the
worst, to be used not for the general
welfare, but for the still further ag-
grandizement Of those who have bought
IL, and for the elevation to high places
Of men who are not at to be there.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-05-14

These are plain words. But it is time
plain words began to be spoken on this
subject. They who believe that the
business of government can be thus de-
moralized, and the general mass thus
oppressed, with fortunate and peaceful
results, have read the history of man
kind to small purpose. The longer the
storm broods before II breaks, the
more dangerous II becomes. Already
clouds much larger than mans hand
have risen above the horizon. How
portentious they may prove no man
can tell. Forces move rapidly In these
days."
All Of US who have lived long can re-
member when money to purchase
votes was an unknown factor
is our Ohio politics. But last year it
cost more to conduct a Republican
Congressional campaign In Stark
county, than it cost the Republican
National Committee to elect Abraham
Lincoln President of the United States,
in 1860. OF this Generalization and
debauchery that has made it impossible
for poor man, however able and mer-
itorious, to be elected to Office in this
country today, the Hon. Mr.. Phelps
speaks words of shining truth, In the
North American Review, that every
good citizen should read and ponder
well. Here let us quote again:
"There is a much greater iniquity of
wealth which attacks the general pub
lie, and even threatens the national
life. 1t is the employment of vast
sums of money for the purchase Of high
places of political trust and the control
of the results of important elections.
Places that should be of the highest
dignity, as they certainly are of the
largest influences, ARE pretty well known
to be obtained by direct bribery Of the
electors in whose gift they are. Posts
of much distinction are more than sus-
pected to be the consideration of enor-
nous contributions to electioneering
funds. Great sums are generally be-
lieved to be raised to carry elections by
those who are accumulating excessive
fortunes through a system of revenue
which not only casts the burden of tax
alton upon the industry of the country,
instead of its property, but, far beyond
the legitimate requirements of govern
ment, burdens the many for the benefit

could not possibly be requisite for any
proper election expenses, are well under

Jonn Snyder Buys a Bed Lounge and
While Driving in Young Street the
Lounge Takes Fire.
John Snyder, who lives east of the city,
came to town this morning and purchased
at McCrea's furniture store bed lounge.
The lounge was worth Sl4. Mr.. Snyder
also purchased a pair of pants, n sack of
-four and other commodities. While driv-
ing home Mr.. Snyder passed down Young
street. While driving down the street
bystanders noticed flames issuing from
the wagon, and before assistance could be
rendered the lounge was consumed by
the flames. The -four and wearing ap-
parel Mr.. Snyder had bought were also
consumed. By strenuous efforts the pro-
gress of the flames was stayed, and Mr..
Snyder drove home. The wagon bed was
not damaged to any extent, but his pur-
chases presented sorry sight and are
practically worthless, The origin of the
fire is mystery. Mr.. Snyder also had a
quantity of meat in the wagon which was
cooked to order.
