The Niagara Fire Ins. Co. Of New Yorl

The Niagara Fire Ins. Co. Of New York.
We take pleasure in reviewing the
annual statement circular issued for this
company by its vice president, Mr.. Thos.
F. Goodrich, and note that the old
Niagara stands in the vanguard" of
staunch and safe insurers. The total
assets January l, 1891, amount to s., ,622,-
OS5, showing an increase in gross as.
sets OF $l3l ,S36.S7, adding to their re-
serve 1922, 1861 and net surplus S46,-
00936. Total losses paid to date showing
the magnificent record of $4,000, ,OCO.
When it is considered that there was an
unprecedented shrinkage of $50, 900 In
the market value Of their securities and
the usual dividends have been paid out
of the net showing as given above, it
would seem that sound, conservative
and able management are the character
istics of this company, and that these
who hold its policies should have the ut.
most confidence in the security Of their
risks. The showing we hope will appeal
to those who are cautious and look we'll
to indemnity in case of loss. The
Niagara has been doing business in Ohio
for period of more than thirty years.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Singular Fate Of a Portsmouth
Butch

One of the most horrible accidents
ever recorded took place at Portsmouth
last Saturday. A young butcher named
Philip Multer, while at work in a
slaughter house, undertook to hang a
heavy quarter upon great hook used
for the purpose, getting upon chair to
do 80. The chair slipped and the un-
fortunate young man fell forward catch.
ing his eye upon the sharp point which
entered the socket of the eye and pene-
trated the brain. The screams of the
impaled man brought mis- brother TO
the scene, but he was not able to lift
him high enough to release him from
his terrible position. In his excrutiat-
ing agony Philip at last reached the top
of the hook and with super. human
strength raised his body high enough 10
extricate himself from the hook and fell
insensible to the ground. He fingered
two days unconscious and died on Mon.
day.

The only reference to the tariff in the
Cincinnati platform is supposed to be
contained in the short plank which pro.
tests against the taxing OF one class for
the enriching of another. The remedy
is suggested in another of the articles in
the form of graduated income tax.
The income tax has its advantages and
would no doubt be favorably considered
by Republicans if they did not believe
in the necessity OF the protective tariff
which incidentally provides a revenue,
paid in the main by the foreign producer
or importer of the goods, at the same
time protecting our home industries and
providing home market. For Nation
al expenses the present protective tariff
system supplies an adequate revenue so
that there is no need of agitating another
method OF taxation. Republicans who
believe in protection see no need for dis
cussing the adoption of new system of
federal taxation. In State affairs it is
evident that reform in taxation is need
ed, and the proposed tax amendment is
step in that direction. The taxation
of privileges and franchises will greatly
widen the scope of taxation and will en-.
able the Assessor to get property on the
duplicate which was intangible before.
If the amendment is adopted it will have
a tendency to adjust the burdens of tax
alton in proportion to the benefit deriv-
ed from the ownership of the property.
A correct appraisement of all properties,
rights and franchises, according to their
actual or possible income, would give us
in the State all the benefits of direct
income tax.

Characteristics of Handwriting.

Handwriting has its characteristics,
and is study in itself to those who want
to become familiar with its peculiarities.
It can very easily be told whether a per-
son whose writing you want to identify
is man or a woman, minor or adult.
1t is very seldom a handwriting assumes
its permanency before the writer is IS
years old. The age of the writing can
approximately be determined by various
methods. If it has Spencerian appear
ance you may know it was written after
1882, as at that date the Spencerian sys.
tenn was introduced. If it is the black
aniline ink that is generally used every
where now, you may know it was writ
ten after 1878. The older inks had iron
or some diluted dyestuff for basis, and
preceded the aniline. An analysis of the
writing will most generally determine
the date of the writing.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

party, with strong Democratic anteced-
.ents remarked with good deal of salts
faction that the Democrats had got the

The loaning of money by the govern
ment on on-perishable products seems
to be discrimin alton in favor of certain
forms of agriculture and against others.
In the strict sense of the word there are
no agricultural products that are nom
perishabie. Wheat and corn are less
perishable than garden truck and fruits
and between these two extremes lie all
the different forms of agricultural pro-
ducts with greater or less degrees of
corruptibility. Where is the line to be
drawn between the corruptible and the
incorruptible ? Cotton and the cereals
may be more easily preserved but this
would require considerable expense and
care and the government would have to
stand the per cent. of loss which would
be sure to occur through mildew, etc.,
as well as through fire. If warehouses
are to be built for the bonding of corn,
wheat and cotton, why not give an equal
privilege to the producer Of hay, pota.
toes, sweet potatoes, or watermelons ?
1t would be very easy for a government
| commission to establish an arbitrary
classification between the perishable
and non-perishable goods but not so
easy to explain to growers of tomatoes
and squashes the justice Of giving his
neighbor loan Of money at per ceA..
on load OF hay, corn, or wood while he
himself must borrow at per cent.
Here, indeed, is class legislation, grant
ing privileges to one at the expense of
another. We doubt whether the farm
ers of Highland county will endorse such
a wild-eyed scheme as this.

The Democratic party is the advocate
and champion of free trade and free
coinage, so that the Alliance people
need not have gone out of the way to
organize new party on these issues.

shat is allowed within the Democratic
party for conflicting and inconsistent
elements could easily adapt itself. to &C

To Prevent Pain. From Scaling,

To prevent the paint on iron or wood
from scaling off when exposed to the
weather, first thoroughly wash the parts
to be painted and then brush over the
surface with hot linseed oil. By follow
ing this method, especially with iron
articles, no scaling of the paint will oc-
cur. In cases where the articles to be
painted are small and can be readily
heated, it is better to heat them and
plunge them into the oil. The thin
liquid oil when hot enters into the pores
OF the metal, absorbs the moisture, and
the paint then applied SO firmly adherea
that frost, rain or air cannot effect q
separation.-Philadelphia Record.

Ohio will be the political storm center
during the coming campaign, partly
because she always is and partly because
Mckinley, the great champion of Pro-
lection, will be for the first time before
the whole people of his own State for
endorsement. The country will watch
Ohio with interest, and all antagonistic
forces will combine in an effort to defeat
him and thus repudiate the tariff. The
contest will be sort OF epitome of the
larger contest which will take place a
year later and will probably indicate its
result
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1891-05-28

The nomination of Mckinley for Gov
ernor has been settled beforehand by
the people, but there still remains an
important work for the convention tc
perform. Every other place on the
ticket must be equally we'll filed and q
platform must be made affirming the
Republican position on the questions
that are likely to play an important part
in the campaign. Republicans should
take greater interest than ever in the
selection of delegates to this convention,
on which so much depends.

Politics makes strange bed-fellows, as
was shown by the spectacle recently
presented at Cincinnati OF steady going,
conservative old farmers hobnobbing
and consorting with Socialists ana
Radicals, whose theories tend to social.
ism and communism. 1t cannot be
denied that some of the teachin. = of the
Alliance tends toward socialism, al
though they are generally considered as
tending the other way, viz: toward pater-
nalism. The sub treasury and land loan
both appear to incline toward giving
the government paternal power, but if
carried out to their logical extent they
would be decidedly socialistic in the
condition they would produce. The
farmers are not ready by any means to
endorse the theories of the Georgeites
and the Bcllamyites, and in fact those
people were compelled to leave out
nearly all the distinctive features of their
doctrines in order to unite with the
farmers at all. Whenever a ticket is
nominated and q national campaign
inaugurated each of the nine organiza.
tions will begin to harp, not on the mild
generalities contained in the Cincinnati
platform, but on his own peculiar key
Then a discord will be heard such as
has seldom been heard before. The
farmers will realize what sort of part
nership they have gone into when each
OF the nine disharmonious elements
which 60 to make up the Peoples party
begins to assert itself. Then their will be

OPENING THE MISSOURI.
The River Improvements idea Is Spreading

The River Improvement idea is Spreading

Kansas City Stall
1t is the experience of all sections where
there is permanent water transportation that
rates on all classes OF freight are greatly re-
duced. In that part of the United States
known by the railroads as the North Central
division the rail rates are the lowest In the
country. This is solely On account of the
competition afforded by lake transportation.
While, owing to the great difficulty of river
navigation, opening the Missouri river would
not bring the rates down as low as the tariffs
OF the North Central division, the reduction
would still be material and of great value to
the producing classes. This ought to be rea-
son enough, not only for Congress to act, but
for the people to work unitedly to the de-
sired end.
Opening the river would not alone cheaper
rates. 1t would also develop resources of
country now inaccessible, which is of
greater Importance than cheaper rates. 1t
would open transportation for the extensive
deposits of iron and coal and valuable tim
dustry in regions at present practically un-
inhabited. 1t was cheap lake transportation
which brought the coal of Pennsylvania and
the iron and copper OF the Upper Penin-
sula of Michigan together and established
the great industries which now exist in the
Lake Superior country. Ther sources of the
Missouri valley are greater and more diver
sified than those of the Superior region, and
the improvement of the now comparatively
unused stream and its tributaries would
be the cause OF results that nobody now can
estimate.
