CAPTAIN WATT TAYLOR DECLINES.
As Fire Commissioner He Cannot Serve on
ANY State Board.


Any State Board.
Governor Mckinney yesterday received
the following letter, dated April 18th, and
which fully explains itself, from Captain
g. Watt Taylor:
/ feel greatly Indebted to you for the honor you
have conferred upon me In appointing me as a
member Of tho Board Of Visitors 90 the Eastern
Lunatio Asylum. This evidence Of your esteem
and confidence Is most highly appreciated.
am, as you know, member OF the Board OF
Fire Commissioners OF the city Of Richmond, and
/ am Informed by Mr.. @. V. Meredith, City Attor-
merry, that the act OF Assembly creating that
board provides that a fire commissioner " shall
hold no office, municipal, State, or Federal" In
his opinion member OF Board 0fDirectorso OF a
State asylum Is q State officer, and he therefore
advises mo that cannot hold both offices. l
would under ordinary circumstances esteem II
my duty 10 render any services that your Bf-
cellency might request At my hands, but l was %
for 80 many years Identified with the Fire De
partment Of Richmond, and have In 50 many
ways been honored by my fellow-citizens In con-
nection with its work that my nrst duty Is 70 tne
city, and am, therefore, though most reiunc- ..
tantly, constrained to return the commission with
which you have honored me. In doing 80 i beg
leave 20 assure you of my high personal ana
official esteem and will subscribe myself your
most faithful and obedient servant.
THE CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION.
CITY Attorney Meredith's letter to Cap
tain Taylor is as follows:
You request me TO inform you whether an ac-
ceptance by you OF the position OF a member Of
the Board of Directors Of the Eastern Lunatic
Asylum will work vacation OF your office as
Fire Commissioner OF Richmond.
The act Of Assembly creating the Board OF
Fire Commissioners Acts 1SS7lSs, page 231, ct
seQ.) provides that a Fire Commissioner "shau
hold no office, municipal, State, or Federal"
Hence the simple question is whether NOM
ber OF tho Board OF Directors OF a State Asylum
Is a State oficer. That question was settled by
the Supreme Court Of this State In Flanagan
rersus Central Lunatic Asylum, 40 Virginia,
mage bb4, where the court speaking OF such di-
rectors said these officers being Legislative oi-
GERS the control Of the Legislature over their ap-
pointment and removal viii not be questioned"
am therefore Of opinion that an acceptance
by YOU OF the appointment as a member OF the
Board OF Directors Of said asylum will work
vacancy in your onlce as member OF the Fire
Commissioners.

Enquireris pleased to be one of the doubt.
ing Thomases and the article in the
Hillsboro Gazette of last week was clipped
from that worthy (?) paper.
The Commercial Gazette says in regard
to the subject "at the Mckinley demon
stration five thousand tin badges made
from the tin plate manufactured by the
Cincinnati Corrugating Company at
Piqua were worn," and futher goes on to
"there is not dirty little Democratic
speech, or big one either, made in Ohio
in which Mckinley is not taunted with
the slow progress of making tin plate" /"
For the benefit of those who do not
understand the subject we say, "roofing
tin is make of sheet iron or steel coated
with mixture of tin and lead, while
tin plate for cans and household articles
is made of metal plates coated with tin
alone. The Piqua company uses tin ore
from California, lead from Missouri and
Bessemer steel from Middleport, Ohio,
rolled into sheets in Piqua, and the cap.
ital employed is Ohio capital.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
tin plate can and will be made in these
United States equal to the imported
article. Ringing the changes on tin plate
which is 80 common with the Demo-
cratic papers of to-day is only an echo
from Gov. Campbell's first campaign.
Then the cry was If the Mckinley bill is
passed you will be obliged to pay dollar
for tin cup, quite an extravagant lie

Not in newspaper words but in hard

There is much discussion of the tin.
plate tariff question. The larger part OF
this discussion is carried on by parties
WHO know nothing about the subject.
N)w, we have not discussed this ques.
ton and shall not do so. We don't
know anything about it and believe that
we are the only one in the United
States who is modest and bold enough
to say so. The Editor of the Hillsboro
Gazette dwells long and learnedly upon
tin plate. If he had eaten salt SOW sides
and "biled" beans off tin plate as
often as we have he would feel revul-
sion OF stomach whenever he thought of
the thing, and it even has that effect on
US when we read his article about it..
We advise our citizens, if they want
light upon the vexed subject, to read
the Democratic papers articles on it and
then belieue eractly opposite. If they do
this they will be safe, on solid rock, de-
livered from the mire.
N. B. This is good rule to. .tolloo on all
practical questions. BELIEVE IN EVERY
THING THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DE-
NoUNCEs OR OPPOSES.

The Australian Ballot Law.

The Democratic party has not beer
noted for sincere desire to purify the
ballot and protect the polls. Indeed i,
has gained an unenviable reputation as
attempting to acquire power by corrupt
ing and prostituting this means OF secur.
ing government of the people, by the
people and for the people,"
We well remember the Fourth Ward,
precinct A." scandal of few years since
which the Democratic Governor of Ohio,
George Hoadley, afterwards denounced
so freely. We also remember the Co
lumbus "tally.sheet forgeries" of year
or so later, whose perpetrators that
staunch old Democrat, Allen G. Thur
man, assisted eagerly to prosecute. tits
an historical fact, which none can truth
fully gainsay or deny, that Grover Cleve-
land received the benefit of FIVE thous-
and or more votes cast in New York
City and Brooklyn for B. F. Butler but
counted for the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, securing his "elec-
ton" by majority of 1,047.
We all know that in several of our
Southern States the casting and count
ing of votes is mere form, the results
being always in favor of the Democratic
candidate however great the majority
against them. In short we can safely
say that erery organized attempt to ,9olatx
the sanctity of the ballot bor IN the United
States has been made in the interest of the
Democratic party. a:
In the face of this fact, apparently, we
have seen a Democratic Legislature en-
act a law ostensibly in the interest of
pure elections. On the face of it one
would believe it to be a good law, but
1--WE are suspicious of the Greeks and of
their gifts" That this party, relying to
great extent upon corruption, should
all of sudden become the champion OF
purity excites our apprehension. We
fear that there is scheme" in it or it
would never have become law.
Whatever the scheme may be or
whether there be scheme or not the
duty of Republicans is plain. Let every
man of them study the law carefully,
and, above all, when election day comes let
every man of them GO TO THE POLLS AND
VOTE! If any man don't understand the
law there will be plenty of people at the
polling-places who will be glad to tell
him how to cast his ballots, and if he
wants further advice there will be
judges, sDorn to secrecy, whose duty it
will be to instruct him. Thesole danger
to the Republican party in Ohio and in
Highland county this fall is that Repub-
licans will stay at home or not vote.
Let every man feel as if the result rests
right on him, that his cote may turn the bal
ance for or against his party and let him act
IN that belief. Ohio is Republican State
if the Republicans turn out. Highland
county is Republican county if the Re-
publicans turn out. If there be Dem.
ocratic scheme in the Australian Ballot
System it will be knocked clear out by a
full, straight Republican vote in Novem-
Der next. Highland expects every man
to do his duty.

for even campaign; nop there are many
variations but oil about as truthful. The
Hillsboro Gazette seems troubled lest the
brightness of the tin in the Mckinley
badges will "be black by the day of
election" My good friend, it will not
be 80 black as the Democratic ticket on
that day.

The statistics of the Treasury Depart
ment show that the importation of to.
bacco decreased from %, 720,674 pounds,
in the fiscal year ended June 80, 1890, to
%, O59, ,554 pounds in the year following,
giving to our own tobacco growers an in.
creased demand for more than 100000
pounds of domestic tobacco. In the
same period the cigar importations fell
from l,250, ,2l7 pounds in the fiscal year
1890 to $50, ,139 pounds in the year 1891,
creating new market for more than
100000 pounds Of domestic cigars. All
of this is the direct result of the Nc.
Kinley Tariff bill, which has thus
brought to our tobacco growers and cigar
makers an unprecedented prosperity.
Roger @. Mills is telling tho people of
Ohio that he would "bear down the walls
of protection" and remove all tariff
duties. If 80, why did he vote against
free sugar and lower duty on rice?

The Mckinley tariff bill imposed a
duty of So per pound on unstemmed Su-
matra leaf tobacco and S275 per pound
If stemmed. 1t also removed all restric.
tions and taxes on tobacco growers and
dealers, so that tobacco can now be
bought and sold as freely as wheat and
corn. The Mckinley bill relieved cigar
manufacturers of the giving of bond for
each person employed in making cigars,
a most onerous requirement of the old
law, and it increased the duty on import.
ed cigars from $3.50 per pound and 25
per cent. to $3.50 per pound and 25 per
cent. These changes have given to to-
bacco growers higher prices for their
tobacco and have greatly increased the
revenue of the Ohio farmers who grow
tobacco. They have also brought a
wonderful prosperity to cigar manu-.
facturers, whose product takes the place,
in quality and value. Of the foreign
cigars formerly imported.
