The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1892-04-09

THE anti-Hill Democrats Of New
York say they will carry to Chic
ago petition signed by 100000
Democrats, protesting against the
nomination of Hill and urging the
nomination of Cleveland. When
the convention looks from this petit
tiOn to the seventy-two Hill del
egates and remembers that they
have been delegates for four long
months, it will come to the conclu.
sion that it would be folly to nomi-
nate either. macon Telegraph.)

POLITICAL EDUCATION.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
The pulpit is of late indulging in
q good deal of political talk, its elo-
quence and powers of invective be-
ing directed against corruption in
office and the rottenness of ring
methods. New York furnishes the
most enthusiastic denouncers of
these existing evils and their con-
troversy with men of worldly bent
or partisan bias forms spicy pOr-
tion of Gotham's newspaper read
ing. No one questions the sincerity
of these reform champions, while
all recognize their ability in deal
ing with the veXed questions con-
sidered, but in some instances the
fervent pastors open the way to
kindly criticism.
The Rev. DR.. Rylance recently
delivered a sermon on "The Politi-
cal Abuses of the Day." and among
other things emphasized this in
junction: "Never bring up your
children to be politicians" Ofcourse
it was in the mind of the clergy.
man to impress upon his hearers
the fact that children should not be
educated as political tricksters job
bers and plunderers, such as play
too prominent part in the conduct
of our public affairs. But to justify
this Interpretation, the doctors
warning would have to be predi-
Gated upon the assumption that al
politicians are artful, cunning anC
designing. Such is not the case
and to be worthy politician, on
who patriotically seeks to maste
the true science of government
every child should be educated.
The correction of those evils which
threaten the very foundation Of ou
! government is to be reached by
teaching our children to be politi
clans of the right sort. They mus
learn it as the duty of every goo
/ citizen to take an active part ir
politics to the end of benefiting tn,
entire community.
They should be taught the sham
t and the false pretenses by whicI
public affairs are diverted to tn
profit and advancement of bad me
} for these are evils that must b
overcome. Let the rising genera
. tion know that it is as dishonorabl
to gain wealth and position throug
the spoliatioh of taxpayers as it
to attain the same end by open rot
berry.

The result of their investigation

Dealer OF April 2nd, makes any.
thing but favorable showing for
the old management and unless
some satisfactory explanation can
be given, the last management will
hardly escape from the charge of
gross negligence and looseness in
the management of the finances of
the institution. The correspondent
says:
"They find total deficiency of
800, ,402.17, of which S10,640 68 is In
the current expense account, $780,
40 in the machinery account and
$3.50 in the rewards account. Supt
Hite seems to be responsible par
ty for this large deficiency, which
he IS unable to explain. Bills have
come in from several firms, cover
ing period Of more than year,
and there seems to be no system
about the method of making pur-
chases. On Jan. Is, Mr.. Hite OBJ
tanned permission from the emer-
gency board to create deficiency
not to exceed $4,000. After the
close of the appropriation year,
Feb. 10, the Superintendent repor-
ted to the auditor of state and f.
nance committee that liabilities
amounting to $4, ,236.93 had been in
cured under authority of the emer-
gency board, whereas the investi-
cation discloses that deficiency
of $16,961 .S3 had been created prior
to Jan. Is, the date on which APP
plication was made to incur liabil
tiles in excess of the appropriation.
Among the accounts that remain
unpaid is found $2,279.72 in bills
that were approved by the old
board of trustees, but for some rea-
son left over for the incoming board
The old trustees seemed to have
trusted implicitly in the manage
ment of Supt. Hite, who has, either
through a lack Of ability or crimi-
nal carelessness, run the institution
amuck. Under the law passed two
years ago, which is intended t.
prevent heads of departments and
state institutions from creating
enormous deficiencies, the matter
may prove quite serious for Mr.
Hite, the late superintendent. He
is subject to Il fine of $1,000 for hi.
neglect in this regard, and will M
doubt be called upon to defent
himself against prosecution"
The law above referred to, for
bids the expenditure of more mon
ey than the sum appropriated, and
if such expenditure is made with
out the consent of the deficienc,
board the party responsible for tn
same is held personally liable fo
the amount, and in addition ma!
be fined in the sum of $1,000 70

seem that there must be some eH

The Thoughtless Speech That Carries q
Sting With 1t.
Nobody denies that it is delightful to
be bright to be able to make clever
speeches; but it sometimes is just as
dangerous to be brilliant as it is to be
stupid. The girl who can always give
a witty answer, who can always make
a remark that is suited to the occasion
is the girl who is apt to be very much
applauded, and the consequence is she
begins to think she can say anything
she pleases, and that the world about
her will believe that she is to be prais.
ed always Then she grows to mistake
impertinence for wit Her heart hard
ems little and she does not hesitate
to make jest of somebody's misfor-
tune, to see fun in misery, and
TO count old age as special butt
for her sharp tongue. She does not
do this Intentionally, and, as the time
always comes when she is sorry for it,
want to give her little word of advice.
II is very hard to resist the bright
thought-that Is, to resist giving words
to it. but it is great deal better not to
say anything for which you will be
sorry after. In SO many homes the
bright members of the family get into
the habit of chatting the other ones;
and father and, too often, mother will
laugh. Many laugh will provoke n
shower of tears. Now, the time is go.
ing to come when that chatting will de-
generate into daily rudeness, when
the shy girl will grow shyer and less
fond of her sister, and when the boy
who happens to be little awkward
and little bashful will be happiest
when his sister is away from home.
Here comes the warning. Before you
say what seems to you brilliant. think

Professor Keeler's First Public Reception
at the Allegheny Observatory.
Last evening Professor James E. Keeler
gave his first reception at the Allegheny
Observatory. Professor Keeler meets the
visitor at the door, and after one has regis
tered his name he is taken to the western
end of the building where the transit for
the time observations is located He ex-
planned the workings of the transit instru-
ment, which is q very sensitive one in the
matter of contraction, for should it be dis
located one one-thoussndth of degree the
correct time could not be obtained. One is
next shown into the large revolving dome,
where the Professor wrestles with the big
telescope until proper focus is had on the
object to be observed. Last evening Venus
was in good position to be seen, and the
in turn took peep at the beautiful vibrat-
ing colors of the star, and each one gave an
exclamation of delight as he or she beheld
them.
Then the dome was moved around far
enough to observe portion of the moon
with its numerous spots which, the Pro-
fessor said, were mammoth craters. These
are of diameter of from 40 to so miles
Into the laboratory the visitor is next
shown. Here is the lately-invented ap-
paratus of Professor Langley, with which he
ascertains the degrees of heat of the sun and
moon, and which Professor Keeler called
the inspectral bolometer. One visitor
pointed to an instrument and asked what it
was called, but it had not been christened
yet. A number of photographs and draw
ings Of the different planets were shown,
which took up considerable time, and then
the visitors were dismissed.

clad in a dressing gown with rich colors and
fantastic design. She is beautiful woman
with dark hair and large eyes and persua-
sive manner of speaking.
She said she had received many kilograms
from her friends asking what it all meant.
She said she believed 1t was all plot to
ruin her. She asserted that she was not
Socialist, but claimed to be merely patri-
otic Polish woman, and said that if the
Russian authorities had prevented her going
to Russia it was because they were jealous

FLOODS AND WATERSPOUTS

Spreading Ruin Among Crops and Live
Stock In Illinois and the West-soveral
Towns Submerged-A Railroad Crew
Repairing washouts Go on a Strike.
OTTAWA, ILL, May 6-The most de-
structive flood in the history of this city
visited last night the locality lying at the
confluence Of the Illinois and Fox rivers
Yesterday all danger was thought to be
over. Last nights storm took them un-
awares, and caught many residents of Mar
seilles, Ottawa, La Sale and Peru with a
raging flood at their doors. The volume of
water from the bluffs north of the city con-
tinued to increase, until valley in the
residence and manufacturing districts one
and one-half miles long and from one
quarter to one mile wide, was a continuous
lake, cutting off all communication with
the outer world. The storm was incessant
until 5 o'clock this morning. The glass
works was the worst sufferer, and other
losses are such as to result in the shut down
of several factories until fall.
AT Tiskilwa, after raining continuously
for 48 hours, the town was flooded and the
residents fled to the hills. Live stock,
dams and bridges were swept away. The
damage to grain fields is incalculable. The
tracks OF the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific were washed out in Tiskiiwa, and
the extra gang of men have struck for
higher wages; consequently the tracks
haven't been repaired sufficiently to move
trains safely. Many houses on Spoon
river, in Galesburg, have been submerged.
At Braidwood, work in the coal mines is
suspended. Railroad washouts are numer-
GUS everywhere.
A dispatch from Topeka, Kan, says: The
heavy rain of yesterday here was followed
last night by fall of water that amounted
almost to cloudburst. The city to-day Is
one-third under water. The storm last
night created CONSERVATION, many families
moved to places of safety by means of boats
or rudely constructed RATS. The water in
the streets varies in depth from six inches
to foot.
A special from Rapid City, S. D., says:
It has been showing and raining continu-
ously for 48 hours, and unless a change
occurs tonight, the cattle loss on the range
will be severe. Up to May 1, double the
usual amount of precipitation has occurred,
and the ground is wetter than it has been
for six years.

CLAIMS OUT OF REASON
Alleged by British Columbia Seal Poachers

to Have Been Suffered at the Hands OF
American War Vessels - How Their
Losses Have Grown With Time.
VICTORIA, B. c., May 5-[SpeciaL I'm
vestigations of the British Commissioners
Gleadow and Ross show clearly that British
Columbia seal poachers have made exorbi-
tant demands for losses suffered by Ameri-
can war vessels. Fifty-one sealing
schooners cleared for Bering Sea
ity were warned not to enter
Bering Sea, and returned, yet claims for
damages amounting to 100000 have been
presented. The basis of these claims
is said to be tonnage and the number of
canoes and hunters engaged for the voyage
and the number of pelts, averages from the
number secured by successful schooners
during the season, the price being the
highest prevailing in Victoria during the
same period, 500 skin:
In making their estimates of damages,
the poachers have included what is owing
to Indian hunters, when, as a fact, sealing
captains pay Indians on delivery of every
pelt, and then get even by charging them a
high price for supplies. As regards the
cost of schooners, most of them were built

$1,000 to $4,000 each, and yet in their
claims they are placed at $40, 900 and
$4,000.
In estimating the catch, no mention Is
made of the number of hunters employed.
This opens the door for fraud, for one
schooner which last season had only single
canoe and one Indian hunter, has filed
claim of $15, 200. In the best seasons two
hunters in one canoe will not average over
80 seals, which are worth $40 each, so in
this case the claim is just 10 times too great.
