QUITE RE EMARKABLE.

The legislature has adjourned and will
not meet again until January of next year.
Their record has been remarkable one,
especially in the amount of work DONE

Yes; and IL they had left undonea mum.
Der of tbings they did do and done a few
which they failed to do, their record would
be somewhat more satisfactory even IL not
quite so "remarkable.o-Oh State Jour
nal.
The above extracts are copied from
two Republican organs. One is the
organ of the Stark county Republicans,
Tor assumes to be), and the other is the
central organ of the g. o. p. of Ohio. 1t
will be seen that they fail to agree, and
their disagreement is quite remarkable
from party standpoint. In this con-
nection it is pertinent to observe that
the Canton Rep. is the only Republican
organ In Ohio, so far as discovered, that
has the gall to endorse the present
oderiferous legislature.

HE movement to nominate Govern

THE movement to nominate Govern
or Mckinley for President seems to
have assumed definite form. 1t is now
organized In the three great States of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. If
the delegates from these States can
unite on Mckinley his nomination may
be secured over Harrison. The trouble
is going to be in Toledo. If Mckinley
can secure an uninstructed delegation
from Ohio, made up OF men who are
friendly, then the outlook will be hope
full. The present indications are that
Foraker will have amajority of the del :
egates in the Republican, State conven-
tion, and If so, look out for some kind
of deal with Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster TO defeat The Mckinley
movement. The Republican situation
in Ohio is now intensely interesting.

poiargoniums and Geraniums.

The name geranium is often given in
discriminatory to the two very distinct
groups of plants, pelargoniums and gera-
NUNS. The geraniums are mostly hardy
perennial plants with annual or decidu-
GUS stems. OF these, q. platypetalum,
g. pratense and G. sanguineum are very
justly considered ornamental species.
There are also good many other spe-
cies which, from their intermediate or
mixed characteristics, might form sep
arate section of geraniums.
The pelargoniums, ON the other hand,
are caulescent or somewhat woody
plants, almost all natives Of the Cape of
Good Hope, and requiring the shelter of
a cool house in the Climate of Paris.
They may be divided into three great
sections, namely, the zonal pelargoni-
ums, with which P. inquinans is classed,
and which may DO termed the "heshy"
section (carnosa); secondly, tho ivy
leaved hederefolio orpeltata), and third
ly, the large tlowered kinds (grandihora).
There are also some kinds of an inter
mediate character, which, however, are
all true pelargoniums,

TIE GOVERNOR is SICK OF HIS JOB.
tFrom the Columbus Post. }

The announcement that Governor
Mckinley may accept the nomination
for Congress in his old district is the
result of expressions said to have been
made by the Governor TO his most intiv
mate friends. Since his Inauguration
the Governor finds a divided party
where once he had unanimous support.
All the appointments at his command
were baled out by the managers of John
Sherman's disgraceful campaign for
Senator ard the Governor finds himself
a helpless plaything in their hands.
The appointments have not strength
ened Mckinley, because John Sherman
is credited with them, and the ignoring
of the Foraker wing, which represents
the majority of the party, is rapidly
calling down upon the Governor the
hatred and disgust of many Influential
Republicans. No wonder his position
is not a happy one and he longs to be
back in Congress.

The First Book of Mormon.

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-One of the
recent acquisitions of the University of
Pennsylvania library is a curious copy
of the original edition of the Book of
Mormon. According to the title page,
it is tan account written by the hand of
Nephi upon plates taken from the plates
of Nephi, Wherefore it is an abridge-
ment of the record of the people of
Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, writ
ten to the Lamanites, which are a rem
nant of the House of Israel; and also to
the Jew and Gentle" 1t is by Joseph
Smith, Junior, Author and Proprietor,
and was printed for him by Il. B. Gran
din, in Palmyra. The edition is now
very rare, even among the saints them
selves, and this copy is said to be worth
more than $200. 1t was presented TO
the library by DR.. Thomas Biddle,

CONGRESSMAN CLARKE of Alabama,
gives the following brief, easy and
torcible lesson on Protection and its
relation TO labor:
"The cotton crop of the year 1889 was
packed with iron ties at an average cost
of 81 10. l take this, will say to the
gentlemen, from the dai y commercial
quotations of The New Orleans papers.
Upon the passage of the Mckinley bill
the price of iron ties rose from 81 20
per bundle on the 1st of September to
$1,40 on the first of November; and the
cotton crop of the year 1890 was packed
with iron ties that cost at Wholesale in
the city of New Orleans $1.35 bundle
as against S1.15 q bundle for
the year 1889. And 100000
laboreTs in the cotton fields,
have had to pay $4,000 additional
price for their cotton ties for the year
1890, whereas the whole wages of all
the meh'who are employed in making
those ties could not have exceeded
SS00O0" .I H. .f.'

The Democrats have no reasonabl

THE Democrats have no reasonable
expectations of carrying this Con-
gressional district In November; but
we have an abiding Interest in having
representative man nominated. AT
present the lucky man seems one of
three; Morgan of Stark, King of Ma.
King is probably the ablest man, but
Morgan Is the richest; 1t is being used
against King In this county that he
voted against Mckinley for chairman
of the Republican STATE convention,
The Youngstown Telegram of yesterday
denies this, and furnishes ample proof
that King voted for Mckinley. While
this is not our fight, we like TO see fair
play, even among the wicked and
unregenerate.

HOW IT WORKS.

Three million consumers of American
products have been added TO the popula-
zion OF the Unised States since the Nc
kinley law went into operation. This Ia
more people than the bantam republic OF
Chill contains, and ia an increase that op.
ponents OF our tariff system fail to take
cogDizance of.-Toledo Commercial.
The Commercial uses this as an argu-
ment in favor of the high tariff. Let
us see what it amounts to. A large
number of European paupers, thrown
out of work, indirectly through the
operations of the Mckinley tariff, have
invaded this country to find work and
American wages under our so-called
protective tariff. They have come here
free of duty, to compete with our
American labOrers. As the result they
have forced down the price of labor,
and wages has been reduced in over five
hundred (500) manufacturing estab-
ments In the United States. These i'm
ported paupers have crowded out Amer.
ican citizens, and these American citi-
zsns have become tramps, or are living
on charity.
No one claims that production
has Increased in this country since
the Mckinley bill. On the contrary
production has been decreased because
our foreign markets have been restrict.
ed; and glut has forced down prices
in the home market. This accounts
for the enormous increase of business
failures since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill, Aud the wage reductions
are still goiug on, and they are largely
in the protected industries.
1t was only on Saturday that the tele-
graph told us of another wage reduc-
tioD, at Reading, Penn. Puddlers were
reduced from 1915 per ton to $40
One by one every prop falls from be-
meath the exploded Republican theory
that protection protects workingmen,
and now Republican organ of inhu-
ence has the remarkable gall to assert
that an increase of population
lin the line of paupers) is
an indication of prosperity, and
proceeds TO praise Mckinley and his
bill for that.
Suppose ship load of lepers should
arrive at San Francisco, from the
Sandwich Islands, or q vessel loaded
with yellow fever victims should land
in New York from Eastern Asia, they
would add to the list of consumers, just
as much as the army of European pau
pers sent here by the Mckinley law.
1t looks as If the defenders of the
roDber tariff were nearing the last
ditch. ..

The East Liverpool correspondent of

The East Liverpool correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, gives the fol-.
lowing boom to Mckinley for Congress:
"Among the manufacturers Of the
cities of the district-East Liverpool,
Canton, Massillon aud Y Youngstown
the proposition to nominate Mckinley
at Salem on the 9th proximo has been
received with feeling of almost en-
thusiasm. In the years past Governor
Mckinley has been the direct represen-
tative In Congress of the manufactur-
ing interests of his district: in fact,
their paid attorney, whose voice and
influence always given in support of
every measure having for its object the
furtherance of the wishes and demands
of the manufacturers. This is espe-
cially true of East Liverpool, Mckinley
having stood Loyalty by the pottery in-
terests throughout his career in Con-
gress. AS Governor of Ohio he is of no
value to the pottery lords, while as a
Congressman he would be invaluable
in the future, as he has been in the past.
With them his nomination and assured
election is not sentiment. lis cold
blooded business proposition"

THERE is not more ardent Cleye-
land man In the United States today
than John M. Palmer himself. But he
knows, and his friends, who are also
friends of Cleveland, know, that the
nomination of Cleveland against the
wishes of the New York delegation
would be to abandon all hope of carry
ing the Empire state at the election, and
therefore to invite almost certain
national defeat in November. For
this reason Palmer is candidate for
the Presidential nomination.-Mobile

Tom JOHNSON, of Cleveland, who is
Democrat with the bark on, made
one of the best speeches yet delivered
in Congress, in favor of free wool. His
views on the tariff, as an oppression, are
well expressed in the following para
graph:
"The Knights of Labor lodges, the
Farmers Alliance, the thoughtful men
in all occupations, have been and are
still doing a great deal of thinking
about this matter of taxation. They
are fast making up their minds that
they want a system of taxation that
will not bear on the millionaire like a
feather and on the day laborer like q
millstone; that will not fetter labor;
that will not hamper industry; that will
not fine enterprise; that will not muz-
zle the OK that grindeth out the corn
and let the dog in the manger to go
free to monopolize and waste; a system
that will not require horde OF officials
that will not provoke extravaganza and
engender corruption, but will take from
each man for the use OF the community
the fair and just return of the spe-
ciaI pecuniary benefits that he receives
from the community"

Seeding clover with BARLEY.

II clover seed is to be sown with spring
grain, barley is much preferable to oats.
1t does not exhaust the soil as oats does,
and though its leaf ismuch broader than
the oat leaf the crop Is cut and out of the
way week or more before oats can be
harvested. If the barley ground is fall
plowed and the grain sown or drilled in
without plowing in spring the clover
seed will catch better and make q better
stand. The superiority of winter grain
for a spring catch Of either clover or
grass seeds is due to the fact that the
seed falls on surface mellowed and pre-
pared by repeated freezing and thawing
through the winter.

A CLOUD WITH A SILVER LINING.

Senator Teller (Rep) of Colorado made
avaluable speech in the Senate on We'd
nesday on the silver question, aud the
past position of the Republican party
on that question. He called attention
to the fact that so many leading Re.
publicans, attached to this administra-
tion, have been playing the demagogue
on that question, and warned them of
the consequence of such dishOnorable
conduct. He called attention to the
fact that Republican administration
had been elected on q platform that had
been carefully and deliberately pre-
pared and that declared the Republican
party was in the favor OF the use Of
both gold and silver as money, and con-
demned the policy of the Democratic
administration in its efforts to demone-
tie silver. Many Republican Senators
from the west had been so confiding as
actually to believe that the platform
adopted in Chicago meant what it said.
They had thought 1t meant that the Re-
publican party was in favor of silver as
money. Would any sane man say to
him that silver could be used as money
In the broad sense of the term If the
mints were not open to it as they were
open to gold?
Senator Teller made 1t clear that the
Republican leaders had violated all the
pledges made to the common people of
tue country, in the National platform
upon which Harrison was elected Pres
ident. He also showed that the New
Yock banks, backed by the New York
press and the millionaires of the East,
had defeated the Bland bill in the
House.
Senator Teller also gave the Republi-
cans notice that II the Republican
party at Minneapolis declared against
silver the four silver producing States,
now Republican, would not be in it.
Here is doleful dilemma for the q.
OPP. Verify, this cloud has silver lin
ing-for the Democracy.

not promoted he wants the same seat.
