The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-03-03

The city of Mansfield is after big
slice of the coming appropriation bill
for the Ohio state reformatory. The
fact that the resources are $100, 900
less this year than they were last, does
not deter them from asking for two and
one-half times as much as they had last
year. They have the facts and the
logic on their side and no mistake, and
they go after the $3.50, 900 that they want
in very systematic, not to say pleasant
fashion. Through Representative Gau-
mer they invited the whole general as
sembly to pay them visit and see for
itself if they are not right when they
ask for the large sum of money. The
invitation was accepted and large party
went to Mansfield under the chaperonage
of Mr.. Gaumer and his charming wife.
At Mansfield the party was met by Gen
eral Brinkerhoff, of the state board of
charities, Hon. William Cappellar of
the Mansfield News, Editor Wickham,
CT Elyria, who is one of the new instita-
tons trustees, as we'll as the oldest
editor in Ohio, and many others. The
day was good one for ducks, but that
fact did not deter the members from go
ing out to the reformatory and looking
over the half finished buildings. In the
evening, all were invited to assemble in
the handsome G. A. Il. hall, and the
arguments for the appropriation were
made. Mr.. Gaumer presided and
sounded the keynote when he said he
was for the old flag and an appropria-
ton.
After the speeches the guests were es-
corted to the leading hotel for lunch.
The lunch was in reality banquet, and
put the finishing touches on those men,
bers' stomachs, who had been attending
banquets every other night for week

FREAK OF NATURE.

JACKSON, Mss, Jan. 3.-On the
farm of Steve Brilten, situated
eleven and a hall miles from here,
was Il few days ago born a mos,
wonderful freak of nature. a calf
with we'll developed negro's
head. Mr.. Britlen cut off the head
and sent il to a friend in Jackson
to be placed on exhibition, The
receipt Of the head by the gentle
man SO frightened him that he has
been proslrated and he is now IN a
critical condition. The head was
secured by gentleman here and
will be placed on exhibition. There
is little to distinguish the head
from that of "A negro, except the
ears are remarkably like those of
a calf.

THE RECORD OF The YEAR,
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
While some OF The Republican
newspapers are speaking in glow.
Ing terms of the immense advan.
,age that has been secured to the
business interests uf Tins country
by The passage Of the Mckinley
bill, the financial records of the
year that has just passed do not
make any such ilaitering disclos-
ure. 1t is true that an enormous
harvest in this country has beer
collected thing which of itself
could hardly tail TO be of general
beneft-and The fact that we have
obtained this great benefaclion
from Providence at Il time when
our neighbors on The other side of
the Atlantic are afflicted with a
short food supply has tended TO in
crease the profits of the farmers.
We dare say that this natural re.
suit has gone a long way towards
preventing a great many serious
business troubles. But, in spite
of this, The failures for the year
1891, the year that includes the
period during which the Mckinley
law has been in full operation, has
been one of exceptional business
depre ssion. Bradsireel's returns
show that there were last year I2,-
394 mercantile failures in the
United States, ds compared with
1868 failures in the year 1890, a
year which was not looked upon
rs covering a specially prosperous
period OF time, Indeed, it was
from the d%epressions Of 1890 that
the Mckinley law Was to rescue
the American people. But not
only were the failures OF 1891 fully
16 per cent. larger lhan the failures
in 1890, but the liabilities, aggre-
eating 10 $4,000 900 against as.
sets Of 100000, 200. make a worse
showing than liabilities Of S175,.
100000 against assets of $03,000.,
900, which was the record of 1890.
1t thus seems that, in spite of a
year blessed with astonishing az.
ri%cullural returns, the results of
the business Of The United States
were apparently decidedly unfa-
vorable, and this disparity between
results which might have accrued,
would seem TO Indicate that the
Mckinley law, even if has no.-as
we believe it has-worked TO the
disadvantage of the business inter.
teseSts of The country, has az least
been of not the least benefit.
