NOT A CRED1rABLE CAMPAIGN.

There is a very wide difference be-
tween the conduct of Republican and
Democratic newspapers, in the treat
ment of officials. Take the recent trip
of the Mayors and city councils OF
Canton and Youngstown to Pittsburg

The Mayor of Youngstown is Republic
can. Canton has a Democratic City
Council, with the exception of Seton
while the council of Youngstown is
about equally divided between the two
parties. THE TRIP DID NOT COST TIE
CITY OF CANTON ONE CENT. Whether
it cost Youngstown anything we are
not advised. The editor of the NEWS
DEMOCRAT was not with the party aud
hence we can only speak from hearsay.
But we learn there was some drinking
on that trip-by both Republicans and
Democrats.
Quite number Of Republicans from
Canton enjoyed the hospitalities of the
occasion, and some of those whose
names have been furnished us, were
full of exuberant spirits. This trip was
in no sense an official trip of the Dem
ocratic City Council, any more than il
was the Official trip of the Canton
Board of Trade. There were members
along from both bodies.
And yet the Sunday organ Of the Re
publicans of Canton made vicious and
vile attack upon our Democratic city
council, on account of this trip, and to-
day this matter is being howled about
by the various ward heelers of the
party, in order to cast discredlt and
reproach upon the Democratic party.

Funeral of Mrs. Frank Foster

On Monday afternoon very impressive
funeral services were held over the re.
mains of the late Mrs. Frank Foster, OF
the Melbourne Hotel, brief mention of
whose death was in the NEws-DEMoCRAT
of Saturday. The services were conduct
ed by the Rev. j. H. Harpster, assisted by
members OF Trinity Lutheran church
choir and the Woman's Relief Corps of
this city. The hotel parlors and court
were draped in mourning and decorated
with myrtle and plants.
Mrs. Foster was the oldest daughter of
Mr.. Jonas Braugher, of jackson town
ship, and by the death of her mother,
practically became fos er-mother of her
younger brothers and sisters, as well as Of
those of MIR. Fosters family.
The floral tributes fully testified in what
esteem Mrs. Foster was held by her
friends and associates. A sheaf of wheat
and gates ajar composed of Gala lilies,
hyacinths and roses with beautiful white
dove perched over the gates, was given by
the patrons and guests of the Melbourne

IT may be very superstitious to be,
lieve in omens, but the history of the
world, both sacred and profane, is full
of the truth that bad omen is dan
gerous thing for a man of supposed
destiny, en- route to his goal. 1t is said
that the first Napoleon saw the New
Moon over his left shoulder the evening
before the battle of Waterloo, and was
greatly depressed with the fateful
omen. Can it be possible that the land
slide which slid across the track of our
more modern Napoleon, on the way to
his eliminating boom, is an omen of
the November doom.

reputation formerly imposed, of keep.
ing within sight of the truth in his
public utterances.
In his speech at Worcester Mr.. Mo
Kinley repeated the ridiculous false
hood that "the foreigner pays the duty"
AT Boston he had the temerity to say
that "there is not single article that
is higher because of the tariff of $780,"
Mr.. Mckinley of course knows that
this is not true, and there is not mer-
chant, an intelligent man, or "shop-
ping woman" in the country who does
not know 1t to be untrue.
1t is impossible to advance the aver
age duty from 40 to 60 per cent as Mr..
Mckinley has admitted that his tariff
bill did, without causing an advance in
prices. Imported aud domestic woolen
clothing, domestic and foreign carpets,
linens, knit goods, gloves, hosiery, glass;
ware, hardware, and hundreds of other
articles are higher because of the tariff.
The increased duties had no other
logical or avowed purpose than to com.
pei importers of foreign manufactures
to charge more and to enable domestic
manufacturers to do the same. With
out this, Protection does not protect.
And did not Mr.. Mckinley declare from
the stump last year that he "despised
cheapness," and defend higher prices as
indicative of prosperity

Major McKin ey having determined
that he wants the Republican nomina-

very badly, ought certainly to eLcoun-
ter no opposition in his own party to so
reasonable an ambition. Hestands for
monopoly taxes so pre-eminently and
exclusively that the whole system, and
that alone, would be put at issue be-
fore the people of Ohio. The canvass
would involve practically nothing else.
Should Mckinley be nominated his
success at the polls would settle several
matters of present speculation. 1t

WE invite the attention of William

in Patterson, N. j., went on strike

ACCORDING to the Columbus Journal,
which drives its information from the
census bulletins, there are 10000 less
farmers in Ohio than there were ten
years ago, and Ohio farm lands have
deprecated $780, 100000 in value within
that time. This is startling statement,
and as this condition of affairs is the
direct result of the high war tariff,
which is worse now than ever, it may
indicate how the farmers will vote this
fall, with the author of the last tariff at
the head of the Republican ticket.

MoRINLEY's DUPLICIrY ON THE
SILVER QUESTION.

(From the Plttsburg Dispatch, Ind. Republican.
There seems to be very strong point
in the charge made by the New York
Post against the Hon. William McKin.
ley, of varying his utterances on the sill.
yer question according to the locality
in which he is speaking. The Post is
apt to be hypercritical in its attacks on
the Protectionist leaders; but the quo.
tations of Mr.. McKinley's language
convey decided impression that the
late leader of the House has yielded to
the temptation to represent different
views, in accordance with what he i'm
agines to be the sentiment of his hear
ers. The Post quotes from McKinley's
speech at Toledo, to show that he at
tackled the Cleveland administration
for "dishonoring one of our precious
metals, one of our great products, dis
crediting silver and enhancing the price
of gold" and from his speech at Boston
last week, it quotes the assertion that
"there is not a Democrat in the State
of Massachusetts who does not fear the
free, unlimited coinage of silver, which
is sure to come through the Democratic
House."
1t is to be noted that in neither of
these speeches did Mr.. Mckinley put
himself squarely on the platform of
free silver coinages or against it. But
he committed an equal insinceritY in
attacking the Democratic administra-
tion for its enmity to silver in one
place and in another holding up the
bugbear of free silver as a result of
Democratic success. A free silver man
might consistently attack the Cleveland
administration because 1t did not meet
his views; an anti-silver man might
regard the course of the next Dem
ocratic House with apprehension. But
for the same man to do both is to con-
vict himself of insincerity. Possibly
Mr.. Mckinley got new light on the
silver question between his Toledo and
his Boston speech; but he should have
recognized that when public leader
has to revise the views he has already
expressed, he should have the grace to
do it in modest and apologetic man.

A Big Force ofDeputies Could Do Nothing
With the Mob at the Leith Works.
UN1oNTowN, Pa, April 1.-The Frick
company made another attempt to work
at Leith, and had few men drawing
coke. A body of about fifteen Slav
women, followed by crowd of men,
swooped down on them and drove them
off. Deputy Sheriffs Allen and Wilson,
who had gone to the works to make
some arrests, attempted to check them,
but the women paid no attention to
them and dared the deputies to arrest
them. They beat the deputies and
stoned them and drove them off. Cen
eral Superintendent Lynch was with
the deputies and drew his revolver and
ordered the mob off the company's
ground. The force of deputies could do
nothing with the large mob, and only
succeeded in making one arrest out Of
the eleven for whom they had warrants.
