SENATOR SNYDER'S VAL UABLE PLANT.

The Canton Steel Roofing works is a
Canton institution that every citiz5L is
interested in; and Senator Snyder,
whose brain, energy, pluck and busi-
ness sagacity have made that lnstitu-
tion great success, Is citizen that
we cannot afford to lose.
Every business man in Canton Ia
deeply interested in keeping Senator
Snyder and his plant in Canton, and in
the midst OF his dire calamity Senator
Snyder should receive the substantial
support of every banker ana
capitalist in our city. A large part
OF Senator Snyder's wealth, all of which
he earned by merit and honest endeaV-
or, was wiped out in q siugle night,
licked up in cruel flame.
There are other cities, and they are
many, that would like to secure tho
Canton Steel Roofing plant; bat no city
can aifo1d to do as much to secure it a5
Canton. We need the Steel Roofing
Co., and we need all citizens OF the liber
and calber Of Senator Snyder. Hence,
whatever is necessary to do to rebuild
this valuable plant, should be done,
and that, too, speedily.
There Is another vital consideration,
that has an appealing humanitarian
feature. The wOrkmen OF the Canton
Roofing Works, (Dow thrown out Of
employment in mid-winter), are among
our most substantial and best citizens.
They are artisans and artists of
a superior order and valuable citi-
zens, II Senator Snyder should remove
his works TO some other city, he would
take his skilled workmen, with their
families, with him. This would result
in loss of population of at least 1000,
and OF population that we cannot af,
ford to lose. Senator Snyder has, in no
way, direct or indirect, complained TO
this Office on account Of any want of
sympathy or support among our sub
stantial business men. These 0bsarVa-
tions are entirely voluntary, and print
ed only as matter of simple justice to
one of our foremost citizens, and in the
interest of CantOu's future.
We shall refer to this subject again.
In the mean time, the Steel Roofing
Company's works must stay.

THE little State of North Dakota,
which was created especially to help
elect Republican President in 1892, is
not up to Republican expectations. Ii
has cut one OF the most unique capers
of the whole Presidential circus. The
little State aforesaid has three electoral
votes, and each of the leading Presi-
Dental candidates has one; but alas,
there is not one for Bidwell. Cleveland
/, Harrison l, Weaver 1, tells the true
story Of the North Dakota Presidential,
election. Tbe official pluralities of the
three electors are 8, IA ana lSl. When
Logan, the great Ming0 chief, said
there would be no one LETT to mourn
for Logan, no not one, he had only one
less friend for obituary memory than
Harrison has in North Dakota. 1t is
very sad.

A CASE FOR DIVORCE.

The latest sensational divorce case is
that of q. Walt Stetson, noted artist
of Providence, in little Rhode Island,
wife on purely etiquetical grounds.
Mr.. q. Walt, aforesaid, wants divorce
from Mrs. Stetson because she is a
crank (as he claims) on physical reform.
She has been appearing In public with
out corsets, boot heels or waist belt.
Listen to the way G. Walt swears to it,
in his petition.
IL was married in this city May 2,
1884 Shortly after the wedding Mrs.
Stetson began to attend gymnasium
and soon developing into very mus
cular woman. She discarded her cor
sets aid said 1t was, In her mind, an
unhealthy thing for a woman to wear
a waist-belt, and she also had her fine
calf shoes made without heels.
"Mrs. Stetson became a crank on all
these matters. She was lound in her
clamor for dress reform and physical
reform. She said she wanted to show
the American women how to dress and
how to become strong and healthy, 80
that children might be born to them
without costing them their health and
In many cases their lives.
"When Mrs. Stetson was not occupied
In the gymnasium and in advocating
before women's meetings the cause of
dress reform and physical culture she
wrote for various magazines and her
literary efforts gave her no time to
attend to me or my wants.
1--WE lived very agreeably together,
notwithstanding all the eccentricities
of the respondent, until July, 1889, when
she said she had so much literary work
to attend to she could not pay much if
any attention to me, and 80 she took
herself to apartments in the house and
said she had decided to give all of the
rest of the residence over to me. She
remained at the house as my wife in
name only until January 10, 1890, when
she packed up her literary effects and
left for the west"
The above Is G. Waits side OF the
story. The court has the case under
advisement, and is waiting to hear Mrs
e. Walt Sterson's side. At last accounts
Mrs. e. Walt was in California pushing
her dress reform and muscular ideas
and had no time to respond to a petit
tion for divorce. She has mission To
perform on earth-the development OF
women-and has no time to fool away
with plain artists, like G. Walt Stetson

CONGRESSMAN HARTER finds his
time inadequate to answer all the let
ters addressed to him by his constitu-
ents. Hence, he writes letter to the
newspapers of his district stating his
dilemma. He has very thrifty lot of
office seekers to look after. Of this class
he writes as follows:
applications for Office are all promp-
ly entered and notes made concerning
each. Up to date have recorded the
wishes of an average of from five to
thirty good men and women for every
possible position which can hope 10

OHIO IN 1898.

All the Democratic papers, East,
West, North and South, seem to favor
the denomination OF Gov. Mckinley In
1893 for Governor of Ohio. The Re
publicsns of Ono are also for him, so
that the Governor Is liable to be unan-
imously nominated by both parties.
The Chicago Heald, in discussing the
situation, says;
Governor Mckinley doubtless finds
his present situation not little embar-
RAISING. lie would, in all likelihood, be
only too glad to retire from politics for
awhile, but he can hardly do 80 without
incurring the charge of political
cowardice. The demand of his party
that he be a candidate for reelection
next year is general and insistent. The
denomination of Mckinley is desired by
Democrats as well as by the Republi-
cans of Ohio. The Democrats, inspired
by their brilliant campaign this year,
believe they can defeat Mckinley in
1893, with McKinleyism as the issue
between the two parties. 1t is not yet
certain who will be the Democratic
candidate for Governor, but Congress
man Johnson, Ex-Governor Campbell
Congressman Harter and Lawrence T
Neal are al prominently mentioned"

M nitu in nhin nf the aize of Canton

No city in Ohio of the size of Canton
has brighter prospect for the future.
We have all the elements of substantial
growth, Located in the midst of the
garden lands of Ohio, the county seat
of Ohio's greatest agricultural county;
with cheap coal in all the surrounding
hills, and clay enough to make brick
without straw to pave athousand cities
like Jerusalem, nothing can check our
growth and prosperity, but narrow
and progressive policy of our
capitalists and business men. Only q
few years ago our manufacturers felt
uneasy over the competition of rivals
luxuriating in cheap fuel and power,
furnished free through the then boom
ing natural gas pipes. But that ele-
ment is now dying away softly In the
deep pockets of mother earth, and the
competition so much feared has ceased
to worry. All the boom towns of the
natural gas belt have seen their best
DAYS, and nothing can impede the steady
and healthy growth of Canton, but the
failure of our citizens to grasp and
utilize the riches stored in our hills. In
this connection, we must see to it, that
a great enterprise like the Steel Roofing
works are encouraged by something
more substantial than sympathy.

The reliable news from Washington
just now is limited There Is absolutely
no interest in the White House, and
Congress is unusually dull in unimpor-
tant routine work. Hence the 225
newspaper chaps, who sent thrilling
wirelets to the readers Of unreliable
metropolital journals, are out of busi-
ness. This necessitates the manufac-
ture of sensations. The latest sent out
to the New York dailies was new
Cabinet deal of course. Senator Hill
and Cleveland had met and made up,
Hill was to be taken into the Presiden-
tial family as Secretary of State. Then
Gov Flower was to be one Senator, and
Murphy another, and Lieutenant Gov
erDUr Sheehan was TO be elevated to the
Executive chair of the great Empire
State. When Grover Cleveland was
asked about this he denied the whole
business. In fact he had never thought
of such program.

ganiZed. But there is one vital point
that will stand against Republican
setal of the next Senate and that is that
on the 4th of March, when the Fifty
third Congress meets, the Democrats
will be in the majority. The New York
World In summing up the situation,
says:
"On that day the best the Republicans
can expect will be a Senate divided as
follows: Anti Republicans, 43; Repub.
llcaDs, Al. OF the anti Republicans Ill
will be Democrats and the other two
will be Senators Kyle and PETER
Farmers Alliance. This assumes
that there will be Republican SEN
ators from Kansas and North Da-
kota. Unless Democrats or Populists
are chosen as Senator'S from California,
Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska
there will certainly be contests from the
first three. Nebraska cannot choose
Republican Senator except by the dis
loyalty or folly of certain Democrats
who object to fusion.
Let IL oe assumed that q Republican
be chosen from Nebraska In this way.
The contests from Wyoming, Montana
and California must wait until the
Senate passes ON their cases.
If the Senate is as favorable to the
Republicans as 1t possibly can be there
will be AZ anti-Republicans and AZ
Republicans to pass on the three con-
tests, with Democratic Vice Presi
dent in the chair.
1t will be the duty and 1t will be with
in the power of the Democrats and
their Western allies to prevent the
seating of any fraudulently elected
Senators.
The Senate must not be stolen.

Dan. J. Ryan, drew 5 900 that belonged
to Poorman. Both are Republicans.
Ryan indignantly replies that POorman
accepted the office, understanding that
the 81 900 special compensation fund
was exhausted, but that, on his subse-
quent complaint that he ought to have
tnis special compensation, Ryan and
others secured the passage Of a bill
giving him 81 900 extra salary as State
Supervisor of Elections. Ryan also
says that Governor Mckinley promised
to explain to Mr.. Poorman tho salary

further intimates that Ryan allowed
the State to be charged enormous prices
