Mrs. Matilda Robinson, who is at the
hospital suffering from dropsy is very
low. While every attention is shown to
her by those around the hospital there
seems to be lack of humane, christian
feeling among the people of the city.
Mrs. Robinson has the reputation of be-
ing an exemplary christian woman, yet
it is said that none of the christians have
found time to visit her and cheer her in
her hour of distress. This is not as it
should be.

ADVANCE IN MEAT.

Yesterday we were called upon by a
prominent butcher of Canton, who
called our attention to two articles on
the advance In the price of meats. One
is from the National Stockman OF
Pittsburg and the other the National
Provisioner of New York. The Ma.
tional Stockman quotes the retail
prices of beef in Pittsburg as follows
"For tenderloin steak, 25c; for sirloin
and porter-house, 22c; for rounds, 15c
to 20c. This increase in prices is not
greater than the advance In beef, yet
late ruling prices were the same as
when years ago cattle. were selling
about as now. AL OF which suggests
this query: Were butchers not making
enough then, or are they making too
much nowW
The National Provisioner of New
York, says:
"Beef to consumers is sure to 60 up
from 2 to 6 cents pound. Even at
these prices the beef is not the choicest
Good cattle are scarce In this market
and poor ones command a high figure
A butcher said the rise in price was
startling and he could not account for
it, and he had as yet been unable to
hear OF the cause OF tnlS phenomenal
rise In the price of meat"
The cause of scare beef Is said to be
owing to the large number of cattle
ranchers in Texas, Montana, Nebraska
West Kansas and the Dakotas, who have
gone out of the business of cattle rails
ing during the past two years. The
scarcity has also been enhanced by an
increased foreign demand.

THERE are some $3O,OOOOOO of gov
ernment obligations about to fall due,
and there is only $12OO0,000 of avail
able assets in the United States treas
ury. Secretary of the Treasury Foster
is exercising his ingenuity in devising
q plan to work off the fractional silver,
long carried as an unavailable asset, "
but reckoned as cash by Secretary Win
dom, to postpone for little the newt
able deficit. Just think of the deplora-
BILE situation. When this Administra-
ton came into power there was
$112,O00000 surplus in the treasury.
Now, with taxes increased about IL per
cent, the whole S1l2,000000 is squan-
dered, with the prospect of an 18,000,-
600 deficit before the first of July.

MoK1NLEY said in Cincinnati that

MCKINLEY said in Cincinnati that
the mission of the Republican party
would not be ended until the American
ballot was as sacred as the American
home. Did you ever hear the like of
this, from such a source. Here is a
man who has spent more Of other peo-
pies money to debauch the ballot of
Ohio citizens than any other man, liv-
ing or dead. Last fall he spent $780,
600 of corruption money to debauch
and degrade the voters of this district.
His agents became 80 bold that, during
the close of the campaign, bummers
and gutter-snipes were paid in checks,
some as high as $50 for one man. just
think of the monumental gall Of man
of this kidney talking about the Amer
lean ballot being as sacred as the Amer
lean home.

THAT PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
TRAIN.

1t Is probably true that Mr.. Pullman
has placed the use of the cars of which
the train is composed at the disposal of
the Presidential party. This the Reg
lister will admit it good stroke of ad-
vertising enterprise on the part of one
of the most energetic men of the age
[Springfield Qll.) Journal.
Is it possible that the Harrison Wan.
amaker-Rusk aggregation, now on ex-
hibition is, according to the Illinois
State Register; an immense advertis-
ing scheme for the benefit of Geo. M.
Pullman. 1t will hardly do to re-nem-
mate President who allows himself
to be used to advertise a sleeping car
company, that charges 50 for so cents
worth OF sleep.

THE RoBBER TARIFF is DOOMED

A poll of the Legislature shows that q
majority of the Democratic members are
for Gov. Campbelps denomination. The
Republicans are for Mckinley. One mem
ber, who represents q large agricultural
district, says that the sentiment is against
Mckinley in the country, but the politi-
clans, he thinks, cannot be convinced OF
this fact lSteubenville Gazette.
In many localities in Ohio the politi-
clans are already convinced that the
Farmers Alliance vote will be gener-
ally cast against Mckinley. In every
state where the Alliance bas taken q
hand in politics it has been radically
opposed to the Mckinley tariff. Why
should Ohio be an exception?
We are satisfied that the same influ-
ence which destroyed the Republican
party in all the Western States, last
year, will destroy the Republican party
Of Ohio this year.
All the signs Of the times indicate
this. There are very few intelligent
farmers anywhere who believe in the
Mckinley tariff.
They know from experience that high
tariffs always depress agriculture.

CORONER JOHN H. OPENHIMER Is
the busiest man in Stark county these
days. During the week past he has
held five inquests in different parts of
the county. He has hardly been able

Coroner Openhimer have been thor

OF Stark county elected Mr.. Openhimer

AS we learn the challenge for jo,ut
debate on the tariff come from the Re-
publicans Of Auburn, N. Y, to the Re
form Club of New York City. Major
Mckinley was announced to speak at
at Auburn, June 3rd, and his friends
in Auburn thought joint debate
would add interest to the occasion
The New York Reform Club accepted
the challenge and named Congressman
Harter as their man. This will prove
an event of interest. What a splendid
thing it would be for the Democratic
cause in Ohio II a few joint debates
could be arranged between Harter and
Mckinley In this State.

HARRISoN'S ELECTIoNEERING
ToUR---IGNoRING BLAINE.

Uarrison's Galveston speech, (where-
in he claims credit for what few
snatches of reciprocity Mr.. Blaine has
ri, ell us) has excited unfavorable COM
ment in Washington, where the Presi-
dents opposition to reciprocity is well
known. The insiL cerity and duplicity of
this speech cannot fail to iDjure the
President, among all that class of in
telligent Americans who believe that
fair play is a jewel, even in politics.
Harrison mace his leading effort at
the gate way of the Southwest, on a
topic that has been the leading feature
of his administration. And yet he
never referred to Mr.. Blaine, who is
known everywhere throughout the
commercial world as the author and
negotiator of all the reciprocity that
we now have, and who is known to
have incorporated this feature Of the
Mckinley bill in the Senate, after the
Ways and Means committee of the
House, under the lead of Mckinley, had
repudiated it. 1t is also we'll known
that President Harrison stood with
Mckinley in the entire controversy.
Hence we are right in the conclusion
that Mr.. Harrison made q very small
exhibition of himself in his Galveston
speech. All the ideas of that speech he
borrowed from Blaine, and he is on
record against every idea that he had
the consummate gall to proclaim, with
out giving credit to the author.
This is not party matter. It in
wolves the question of personal honor.
