ORGANIZE, REPUBLICANS.
Get Together and Present an United Front
To Democracy

Get Together and Present an United Front
To Democracy.
The township and precinct committee
men and the district committeeman, as
well, need to keep sharp lookout on the
work of the enemy in their respective
localities. This can best be done by a
thorough organization in each precinct or
ward. This organization is needed to
look after doubtful voters, to instruct
Republicans in regard to the new ballot
law, and to see that every voter is at the
polls on election day, as well as to be on
the alert for any shady schemes which
the Democracy may try to work to in
tiuence doubtful voters. A complete and
ramifying organization is the most eff
fective to accomplish this end. Repub-
licans, the interest of the party is your
interest, and you can afford to give some
time to working for the party in your
locality. See your doubtful neighbor and
talk to him. Organize to present a solid,
impregnable, and victorious front on
election day. The necessity for organi-
cation is urgent, and must be needed.

HOW IT WILL READ.
History of the Opposition to Tin Plate
Manufacture

History of the Opposition to Tin Plate
Manufacture.
When, in year from now, the history
of the tin-plate industry in this country
is written, an industry by which just
$4,000 is saved to the people of the
United States every day, it will read
something like this. In 1890 the free
trade journals with one voice and much
vehemence urged that the manufacture
of tin-plate in the United States is i'm
possible. When the manufacture was
actually begun, they attempted to bring
ridicule upon it by publishing statements
to the effect that in two or three cases
certain manufacturers had hired, San old
man and boy" to dip few sheets each
day 'just for political effect" 1t having
been proven that some establishments
were making tin-plate in large quantities,
free traders procured samples, had them
analysed, and shouted aloud because the
coating of the sheets contained lead.
Their ignorance then being enlightened
by learning that lead has always been
used in combination with tin, for coating
certain kinds of plates, the antagonists
of the industry complained that the iron
and steel plates were imported, because
no American mill could roll them. The
fact that such plates are made here being
established, it was asserted that the prices
of the American product are so high as
TO outrage the American people. 1t was
then shown that the American prices
were lower than those paid for English
tin plate up to July, 1891. The free
traders then wriggled again, complaining
of the unfairness of such comparison;
saying that prices, just before the tariff
went into effect, had been forced up
ward by British monOpOlists, who want
ed one last pull at the pockets of the
American people. All of this is history
now. When, year hence. the rich prom
Use of the Mckinley tariff is being full
filled in the busy hum of hundreds of tin
plate mills, employing thousands of work
men, creating markets for the farmers
products, Democratic free traders will
maintain the silence of the grave-con-
cerning tin-and wish that the grave
could swallow up their false and foolish
utterances of this year and last.

THE NEW LIGHT.
Probably Be Ready for Operation in a
Month.


New and staunch cedar poles going in
to the ground some feet and into the air
thirty feet, are appearing all over town
As every one knows, they are the first
visible indication of our new electric
light plant. After the first digging, there
was good deal of kicking and changing
around of pole-holes by citizens who did
not care for even a picturesque cedar
pole just in front of their doors, but
things are now adjusted to the satisfac
ton of ALL and when the eye has become
accustomed to the poles they will doubt
less add feature to the scenery of our
streets.
The foreman who has the matter in
charge, says that the poles will all be up by
Saturday night, and he will then proceed
to other branches of the work. He thinks
that he can easily have the external ap
paratus in shape for running within thir-
ty days. This being the case, the only
thing that need defer the Inauguration
of the new light is the setting up of the
engine. The engine has been ordered
from the Russell Manufacturing Compa
ny, of Massillon, and is probably now on
the way here The building is nearly in
shape to receive it, and if there are no un-
lOoked-for delays we may hope to go
home nights by a good light before a
month. The company specified no time
by which the plant should be done, but
they agreed to operate it for thirty
successive days after completion.
Many persons contemplate using the
lights in stores and dwell
ings. Council intends to furnish these
lights at cost to consumers. and the |
company thinks that the cost will not ex-
ceed thirty cents month for bulb of
sixteen candle power, and is quite likely |
to be below that figure. At this rate,
after the expense of wiring in is met,
electricity will be cheaper than oil, and
much cheaper than gas made from gaso-
line
There will be at first twenty eight arc
lights, and the poles and wires will be ex
tended to the limits of the corporation,
so that additional lights may be put on
when required. There will now be Il light
at each cross street, and at each alley
crossing Main street. The back streets
will be furnished with one lamp at each
cross street This supply will, it is
thought, brilliantly illuminate the town.

Believe It, If You Like.

Some curious things have been brought
to light by the new ballot law. Here are
some that are mentioned by an exchange
Ottawa precinct, Allen county, casts 4
Democratic and Republican votes.
This year Two Of each partYwiif act as
judges, and one of each party as clerk.
This will leave just one man on each side
to vote. In one precinct in Ottawa
county, last fall, there were six Demo
cratic votes; when two of these act as
judges, one as clerk, and two go inside as
challengers, there will be just one man
left to rally himself together and get in
his vote. A precinct in Geauga county
is the same way. But these precincts are
nothing compared to New Riegel, Seneca
county. 1t has one Republican vote:
and that faithful politician will have to
resolve himself into two judges, one
clerk and challenger.

Canning.

S. D. & J. W. Riley are going into the
canning business on a scale and with an
energy that promise in few years to es-
tablish a large canning establishment
1t has often been remarked that no local
ity could be better adapted than this
for such an industry. These gentlemen,
with their excellent facilities, have gone
vigorously to work in this line Last
year they put up few hundred cans of
tomatoes, for which they found ready
sale. This year they have already put up
over five thousand cans of tomatoes, and
expect to fill several thousand more cans.
They expect to have also some hundreds
of cans of corn for the market.

CAPTAIN panford at Barnesville.

1t was feared that civil broils had i'm
paired the old-time vigor of Warren
township Republicanism, but the Dan
ford meeting at Barnesville Saturday
night, effectually dispelled any such illu-
sion. The City Hall was filled with one
of the largest, most responsive and most
enthusiastic gatherings that has yet as
sembled during the campaign to listen to
Captain Danford's logic and eloquence.
A Repblican Club was organized, with
Major E. I. Petty. President, and W. W.
Hanlon, Secretary. About 130 names
were enrolled, among them those of three
persons who have heretofore voted the
Democratic ticket
Warren can be depended on to give
something beyond her usual heavy Re-
publican majority.

New Series, Vol. 81, No 42

Columbia College affords almost the
only instance of great national college
located in the limits of a great city Her
wants have outgrOwn the space she oc-
cupieS in the crowded district, and it is
now proposed to remove the buildings.
1t is the opinion of almost every one that
they should not go outside the city. The
advantages to college of being situated
in the heart of a city, or at least in the
near environs are inestimable New
York is the center of the educational in
fuences of this country, and is destined
soon to become the center of the English
speaking world. To young men from the
provinces, it is an education in itself to
spend the years of their college course in
New York They are broadened and
deepened by being brought into contact
with the great currents of the worlds
thought, and on commencement day
they are less merely college men, and
more educated men, than the youths
clOistered in some country town. Tempt
atiOns cut little figure. Among students
there are ample temptations in the re-
motest village. Distractions from study
are too of little importance. Competi-
ton will make the boy study and it is ten
to one that if he is not at study, he is
learning something more useful outside.
***
The principal railroads have adopted
the plan of disseminating weather pre-
dictiOns by displaying signal flags on
trains, and now the Weather Bureau
hopes to have the locomotives toot fore
casts, and proposes that they shall toot
according to code. The results of this
scheme will be lovely. The housewife
will know when the Fly-up-the- ex-
press goes by, blowing three long blasts,
that rain is coming, and washday must
be postponed. She will also have warn
ing to take in the dried apples from the
kitchen roof.
1t is proposed to ask the assistance also
of such citizens who own mills with
steam whistle attachments. 1t is argued
that this will be quicker than any other
means of announcement. The presaging
by shrill mill whistle toot, will enable
the farmer to get his coat off the fence,
and scoot into the house before the show
er catches him. The report that Uncle
Jerry Rusk intends to give up putting
seeds in paper bags and to go around the
country instructing mill owners how to
pull the string for weather signals, is de-

New Buildings.

Some building is being done on the
Western limits of the town. G. Trolls
Sons are putting up neat frame tenant
house on the Southeast corner of the old
Weir farm, and near the pike. Near by
j. W. Coleman is just completing two
story residence of frame, which fronts
the National road. 1t is large and COM
modious, finished in good style, and pre-
sents fine appearance.
On the old Institute Hill, and just op-
posite the old Institute building, which
VIM. Lee now occupies as residence,
DR.. R. J. Alexander is utilizing as fine a
building site as can be found anywhere
hereabouts for the erection of large
twostory frame. The building will
stand some distance back from the road
allowing space on all sides for lawn pur-
poses 1t will be finished in modern
style, with extensive porches, and all inn
provements. The views in all directions
are superb, presenting wide vistas of hills
and valleys covered with an endless
variety of cultivated farms and wood
land. The house will be completed dur
ing the winter, and is being built by VIM.
Bumgarner.
In town, the Misses Adams are having
dormer windows put in the front of their
home, making an additional story for

In a Glass House,

cause they, some fifteen years ago, voted
for the free coinage of silver. The Gdz-

months ago its columns were filled with
arguments against what the Democratic
platform now demands, and in favor of
a restricted coinage of silver. A change
of opinion in fifteen years with the
changed condition is progress; an entire
change of opinion in six months while
the condition remains the same is incon-
sistency and vascillation or -.

to eat it, but along comes the Republi-
can eagle and robs the barnyard of roos-
ter, hen and all-Gazette.

Work for Tin Liars

In the past week the Riverside Steel
Works, of Wheeling, contracted to fur
nish large quantity of Bessemer steel
to be used in making American tin plate.
This is not the first sale of Wheeling steel
for the same purpose, the growing de-
mand already being an important item
in the prosperity of this important local
industry, and the Whitaker Iron Com
pany, the largest producer of sheet iron
and sheet steel in the United States, is
now examining plans for an extensive tin
plate mill, to be built adjoining its
present works. The Company already
has an abundance of skilled workmen,
who formerly worked in tin mills in
Wales.
Now TO gain sympathy Governor
Campbell has sued the Cincinnati Com
perciGl Gazette for $4,000 damages for
libel in publishing a story which appear
ed in the New Y York Recorder relative to
Campbell's financial condition. The
Commercial Gazette simply gave it for
what it was worth and did not vouch
for its truth. Such proceeding is very
thin on the part of the Governor, since
he acknowledges he is in debt. 1t looks
little like he might have been the
author of the story himself for the pur-
pose of making political capital.
"Jeems" is willy enough for that.
