Lieutenant Colonel Villiers, deputy
adjutant general at Winnipeg, has been
suspended by Major General Herbert for
absence from his post without leave.
There is something approaching a grim
joke in connection with this suspension.
The colonel, who is of rather mature
years, recently married a charming
young lady much his junior, and the
event appears to have excited him so
much that he went off on his honeymoon
without going through the necessary
form of obtaining leave of absence. OF

Rental of the Highland Deer Forests.

Some of the Scotch papers have been
calling attention to the continued alb
senteeism of Mr.. Winans, the American
lessee of the highland deer forests. His
shooting territory in the north extends
practically from sea to sea, and for this
he pays an annual rental of over S25, 900.
But for five years past neither Mr..
Winans himself nor any one on his be-
half has over this great extent of coun-
try fired single Shot.

Pumpkin Pie.

doubts been growing in my mind, and I've
been thinking why,
With eggs and sugar, milk and spice, we call
it pumpkin pie,
For pumpkin by itself is naught-'tis COW food
and, by jing!
Eggs, sugar, milk and spice will make pie
with anything.
How like to pumpkin are some men who are
Landed in these days
Somebody does the work for them and they
usurp the praise.
Henceforth I'll make a metaphor when such
one spy,
And every false usurper I'll call pumpkin
pie. ID. Il. Heath.

GE MS IN VERSE.
Always Good-Like You.

When l reproved my little girl,
Her clear, gray eyes were grievcd and wet:
She owned her fault, for pardon plead,
And spoke some words can't forget:
"lf you were little just ike me,
Would ever you be naughty, too?
II were only all grown up,
could be always good-like you!"
She meant it! Her sweet innocence,
Which sent so sharp and sure dart,
Knows nothing of the wicked moods
That sometimes sway her mothers heart.
Wrath, envy, folly, discomfort,
The selfish impulse not withstood--
These things accuse me, yet my child
Believes that am always good.

Avenged.

II should quarrel with thee. friend, and say
Hard things from sudden spite,
Be sure my sorrow will revenge thee quite
Before the passing of another day;
So give me way.
Seek not to check the madness of my course;
Each word shall be dart
To lodge and rankle at mine inmost heart.
Thon art avenged by mine own remorse
With sevenfold force.

Trees.
Set out treesl adorn the homestead,
Make 1t pleasant all around,
Let the elms and oaks and naples
With the tvergreens abound.
Let the home be so attractive
That the boy that is today,
When he shall arrive at manhood
And in foreign lands may stray,
Turn with longing heart and loving
To his home these hills among,
Thinking how the trees are thriving
Which he helped to plant when young.
Set out treesl along the highway,
Place them thick on either side;
In the present joyous springtime,
Every one his part provide.
Set out walnuts, chestnuts, beeches
Where the playful squirrels come;
In the hemlocks, frs and spruces
Shall the song birds find q home.
Let their branches growing, twining,
Forming arches DER the way,
Shield the horse and screen the rider
Through the long, hot summer day.
Thick green leaves the golden sunshine
Hiding while the dog star reigns;
Then when autumn paints them gayly
Carpeting the hills and plains.
SET out trees! upon tne cOlnAiOn,
Ashes, lindens, poplars, birch;
Set them out around the school house,
Place them thick about the church,
Have the children's playground shaded
And the public walks as well,
And the joys from these arising
Coming ages glad will tell.
These shall live and grow and gladden.
While we molder meath their leaves.
Let us then improve the present
Leave behind us priceless trees.

Freedom.

Freedom.
Hate all sins, but not the sinner;
Love our fellows, though depraved;
Every slave is to be pitied;
Most of all, the sin enslaved.
What'er be our social station,
Let our minds at least be free,
For If they should be entrammel'd
None can give us liberty.
Freedom is a glorious blessing,
Without which our life is vile;
Though cen chains our limbs may fetter
Let not sin our souls defile.
Let us live in truest freedom;
Let us for it, If needs, die;
Gain it for ourselves and others,
And all tyranny defy.
To secure 1t we must labor
Wisely to train up the young,
For from vice and mental darkness
All oppression ever sprung.
Gentle mothers, truly teaching
Children with the meekest words,
May do more for human freedom
Than the mightiest warriors swords.

Heredity.

When reflect on all that has been done
In unremembered ages ere came,
And that my life was kindled at flame
Lit from another and preceding one
OF sequent torches reaching till the sun
Embodied fire first in mortal frame,
And that | am part of many u name
And many a nature, yet am wholly none,
Then do question whether am l,
Until see cloud in purple fold
Suspend the Ganges, Amazon and Nile,
And all the feeding streams that multiply
Their tides of which the cloud is made, the
while
1t holds its individual state and mold.

THE intelligent voters of Stark Co.
In both parties, know that Weybrecht
was elected and that Rowlen was not,
a great many Republicans also know
that 1t is the opinion of the Republican
members of the Election Committee
that Weybrecht was elected. Repre-.
sentative Thomas knew 1t and so ex-
pressed himself, and as he could not
vote against Weybrecht with a clear
conscience, he absented himself from
the House when the vote was taken by
seat. ~A'''
We learn that this is the first in.
stance in the history of Ohio, drumming
back about 30 years., where Republi.
can representative from the same
county with a contestant, has ever re :.
tused to vote for majority report of
his party committee In contested elec.
ton case. 1t would have been far bet
ter for Rowlen had he refused the sto-
len seat. He would then have been In
good form for the future. Now he is
lost. nv ~
1t is true, both in morals and legal
parlance, that the receiver of stolen
goods, knowing them to be stolen, is
equally guilty with the thief or thieves.
There is not an honorable man in
stark county, above suspicion as an OBJ
Ject for a lunatic inquest, who would
not much rather be Weybrecht in pri-
Vate LIE, than Rowlen with his stolen

AGAINST THE RIPPER.

The Massillon Independent, which is
not independent, but violently partisan,
sees no virtue In the Canton Ripper
bill, now pending in the Ohio Legisla-
ture or course the Massillon organ
could not afford to rail against the in
iquity with very much force or yehe.
meuce, but 1t says enough to give the
ordinary reader the views of Republi-
cans outside of this city on the Ripper
iniquity. Here is the editorial from
the Independent, which we print for
the information of Rippers generally,
and Canton Rippers in particular:
"On some accounts 1t would seem de-
sirable that their bill should pass, but
on others 1t certainly should fail. The
great crime we have been committing
against ourselves for many years has
been the enactment into laws of meas
ures designed for special localities,
made to conform to constitutional re.
quirements by the clever use of words.
In consequence we have patch work
legislation, and lack of uniformity in
our city governments. 1t must be ap.
parent, by this time, that our municipal
systems are all radically deficient, and
the only way to effectually improve
them Is to have commission appoint
ed to inquire into the whole subject, in
broad way, and revise the laws relat-
ing to this subject so that all incorpor-
ated towns con derive benefit"

SENATOR SHERMAN AND HIS
NOODLE AGENT.

The testimony Of Chairman Hahn
before the Daugherty investigating
committee Is of q very compromising
character. Hahn was Sherman's Doodle
agent. and he swore that he used the
money he drew out of Deshler's bank
in Columbus to pay Sherman's hotel
bills. On this point the Columbus Post
makes the following observations:
"The amount of money drawn from
the Deshler National Bank by Mr..
Hahn or his delegated drawer on a GER
tain day was $500. This has appeared
in the testimony of the cashier of the
bank, Of this sum Mr.. Hahn accounts
for only $1,000. leaving $1,000 unac-
counted for. He says that he paid $500
for q hotel bill at the Neil House and
$500 more at the American House.
Senator Sherman remained at the Neil
House, not at the American. Granting
the absurd theory that the Neil House
charged Senator Sherman $500 for a
few days stay, whose bills was the $500
intended to pay at the American? A
third $500 bill Mr.. Hahn says he re-
turned to the bank and had changed
into smaller bills, but he does not state
how he disposed of the latter. This,
we repeat, leaves him 1880 unac-
counted for. Mr., Hahn further states
that he "kept books" showing the dis
bursements of Sherman funds made by
him. Was 1t necessary to keep books

Yes, these questions are certainly in
teresting. Remember that this man

moral ideas In the great state of Ohio,
and that his Doodle transactions were

and purest statesmen in the Repubn.

THE Nj. w. Fitch horse sale last Sat-
urday was quite largely attended. The
bidding was quite slow and the prices
realized was not what had been ex-
pected.
The above is from that old reliable
Republican organ the Medina Gazette.
The crops were abundant last year and
Medina county gave big Republican
majority for Mckinley and protection,
on the theory that his new tariff was
made just to suit the farmers. At
least that is just what the Major told
them at the great Central Campaign
rally in Medina. Now, when yearling
colts sell at auction for $50, and two
year olds for $98, the promised boom
seems to be in state of innocuous
desuetude, and the condition is chronic.

IOWA or THE NEW TARIFF.

The Republicans of Iowa in State
Convention assembled were too coward
ly to endorse the Mckinley bill, and
afraid to make any expression what
ever on the silver question. Chairman
Struble, however, Ia making his open
ing speech gave solid endorsement to
Blalne's letter to Senator Fryle IN the
following words:
~ must refer to one man who made
the bill so perfect in its provisio n.
That man was James e. Blaine. He
saw more clearly than any one else just
what was needed, and wrote that mem
orable letter to Senator Frye giving his
ideas on reciprocity. To him we owe
our greatest thanks"
This letter is the cne in which Blaine
saye, in writing to Senator Frye of the
Mckinley bill:
"There is not section or a line in
the entire bill that will make a market
for another bushel of grain or another
Darrell of pork"
After our l8 month experience with
the Mckinley bill it is no wonder that
the Iowa chairman endorsed Blaine's
predictions. They have been verified.

THE rhomentous question which
President Harrison propounded about
one year ago at Bristol, Tenn, was in
telligently and forcibly answered at the
same place by Senator Hill last Monday:
what is to hinder u.s." inquired the
President, speaking to the manufacture
ers and farmers of the Holstein Valley,
when we have secured the markets of
our own States from reaching out and
entering into successful competition
in the markets of the world?" This
interrogatory remained unanswered
until Senator Hill arrived at Bristol on
his southern tour. Here is his reply
81 can tell the President and his party
what is to hinder. 1t is the Republic
can legislation of the last thirty years
which has built up barriers to greater
commerce, which, instead of giving us
freer and wider markets, has restricted
them. That is the reason the farmers
and manufacturers of this region, as
of the whole United States, have not en-
tered into successful competition in the
markets of the world" Ifthis response
Is satisfactory to President Harrison,
as 1t certainly was to the people of Bris-
tol, ne should now ask Senator Hill
something harder.--Chicago Herald.
