although l should ever welcome the oppor
tunity Of bearing my poor tribute to his
was, the first gentleman of his time. We
shall know that blending of chivalry, human.
ity, knowledge and courage, which never
came into your life without increasing sd.
miration for his character. We shall know
the fine courtesy which never waited when II
could anticipate; ever gentle to women, to
children, to the humblest duplication. We
shall know that devoted heart. its love for
those to whom his love was heritage and a
benediction, and how the sorrow that fell as
thunderbot from an all too radiant summer
sky upon the gentlest and most gracious Of
homes, brought grief that never found con.

We shall know that when the bullet of the
assassin crashed into the joyous life Of an
the holiday wing to fields and streams, 1t car.
RED agony unspeakable to the lofty spirited
gentleman who would gladly have given bis
own life to have warded the impious doom.
We shall know his steady devotion to duty !;
how he arose to every requirement Of the
Presidency; how the courage of the political
leader guarded and governed the conscience
of the Chief Magistrate; how he was every
hour, every moment the President. We shall
know that under him the civil service found
its truest exemplifcation and that no tempt
ing of political ambition could answer even
with finger touch the resentment of officials
who, like Collector Robertson. used their
patronage to his political overthrow.
We shall know the many dieappointnents
which came with the refusal by his party Of
the denomination which he bad won by bis
and justice how it sunk into bis
heart, and, as those nearest to him have told
me, prematurely bore him Into the grave. We
shall know, when time ana history and the
Just Judgment of his fellow citizens have

well OF nis country and mankind, and that
Chester A.. Arthur should have grateful re.

A Massillon Citizsn Attsckrd and Only
Escapes After Giving the Robbsr q
Dose OF Cold Lead.

Mr.. II. o. Z. Kortheuer, tho pianist,
Narrowly escaped robbery at the hands of
q highwayman, OIL the Meyers lake road
last Wednesday night. Only successful
shot, that landed in the Villains arm
saved him. The affair has been kept per.
fectly quiet in the hope that the fellows
wound would lead to his conviction, but
as IL now seems probable that such will
not be the case, the details can be made
known.
MIR. kortheuer was jogging along toward
home about IL o'clock, and had reached
the last hill on the Aeyers lake road, be-
fore IL terminates at the Massillon road.
The robber jumped out of the darkness,
seizing the head OF the easy going horse,
ordered Mr.. Rorthouer to turn over his
valuables. The musician, who is almost
as good shot as he Is q pianist, did not
stop to argue, but whipped out a revolver
in way that meant business, commanded
the man 70 drop his hold. Seeing the
revolver, the unknown man quickly let
go, saying, My God, don't shoot me-"
Mr. kortbeuer fired once, and his man
gave howl of pain, and prasped one arm
with the other hand, AZ though wounded
and made Off. MIR. Kortheuer's horse was
hy this time alarmed, and not knowing
how many allies his winged bird had in
ambush, he deemed II prudent to drive on
at once.
This is the second attempt of this sort
made within the last few weeks between
Massillon and Canton, the first attempt
being on the person of MIR. Richard John
son, who also escaped. 1t Is very probable
that other possibly successful attempts
have been made, the victims of whom
have, for various motives kept silent. 1t
seems lutte certain that road agents have
established their headuunrters In close
vicinity to the much travelled route be-
tween Maseillon and Canton, and some-
thing must soon be done to protect the
pubnc.-I Massillon Independent.

swarm Of July grasshoppers in a

1t is known that he Is also meeting

is missing, are mostly on the dodge to
escape state prison garb, There is a
tight money market everywhere, and
business men are dissatisfied with the
outlook, which is worse than 1t was
last year, when the people trampled the
Mckinley tariff iniquity intoi the
ground, with nearly million pair of
heavy feet on it, not counting the des-
perate and spiteful feet of the indig.

to stay the bleak disaster, that now
threatens, in clouds big in blackness,

and has admitted, in private, that the

administration. There have been no
scandals connected with 1t, that we
have heard about, while the Foraker
administration had a scandal of greater
or less magnitude in every public insti-

of that administration; so was Elliott,

THE New York Press, tariff organ,
says that a New York firm advertises
to sell gray woolen blankets, weighing
four pounds, for SlOO the duty~on
which is $1.93, and with an air of tri-
umph asks, "Is the tariff taxi" These
blankets were evidently made in this
country, for if they were imported, with
$193 tariff on them, how could they be
sold for one dollar? Then the question
arises, if these blankets can be made
here and sold for 500, whaG was the
use of Mckinley putting O tariff of
Sl.93 on them? There seems TO be a
very large discrepancy here, or else the
blankets are shoddy.

THERE never was a time when a days
work would buy as many of the neces-
| sares, comforts, and we will add, lux.
/ uries of life, as since the passage of the
! Mckinley bill.-[Obio State journal.
The above contains a grain Of truth
mixed with a ton of falsehood. For
instance, sugar and wool are both
cheaper than last year, and so is human
hair, divi-dlvi and jewels. They are all
comforts and Injuries. But with wool
cheaper-all wool clothes and carpets
are higher. Again "what days work
will buy" is not the measure of a poor
mans prosperity. There is not enough
work now for the laborer. He can't
earn the money to buy bread, because
he has no Protection on his labor. If
he is not willing to work for pauper
wages, his highly Protected employer
knows where to. find an imported pau
per to take his place.
And now will the Ohio State Journal
please answer two or three questions:
FIRST: If taking the tariff off sugar
makes it 30 much cheaper, how does it
happen that putting an extra tariff on
wool makes 1t three to four cents lower ?
SECOND: Is it possible for a
high tariff (Which is so much tax
added to the value of the artlcle) to
make that article cheaper2
