The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1892-04-28

We are glad to see general pro
test against the parsimonious scheme
of narrow minded and little hearted
school directors to cut down the
salary Of teachers. They are the
most niggardly paid class of work
ers in our county. They are entrust-
ed with the most responsible duty.
They are not given COW boy wages,
nor horse trainers salary. Yet
they are given charge of the educa
ton of our children. Is it that we
have so little concern for our child
when we pay man more wages to
feed hogs than we do to teach a
school? Cheap teachers are scabs
upon the profession. If self ac-
cepting cheap salaries, they do so
because they are not fit for any
thing. If they bid for employment
on the basis Of cheap, they are
frauds. A cheap Teacher (D like a
cheap finger ring is not only not
ornamental but is worse than worth
less-is poisonous. Give the teach
ers liberal salaries. twill give en-
oouragement to talent to enter the
profession. 1t will give inspiration
to tutor and advancement to the pu-
pill. 1t will make the school room
nursery of virtue and intelligence
and not kraal for dolts.

Damon and Pythias.

The play of Damon and Pythias
at the Opera House last Friday
evening was the best theatrical en-
tertainment we have ever witnessed
in Logan. Indeed we. have seen
stars of the metropolitan stage who
not nearly attain to the splendid
acting the Damon and Pythias last
Friday evening. All the characters
of the play were first class, but the
"brothers" were heroes in the per-
sonation of the divinities of Syra-
cuse. 1t is promised us the compa-
ny will return. We hope SO and
bespeak a crowed house. There is
no sense in of Logan spending hun
dred dollars going to Columbus to
see Salvina's play the adventurer, nor
to Lancaster to listen to Bill Nye's
feeble wit, when We can have such
entertainment as promised, at home.
1ho idea impressed and exalted by
the play are the mobiles traits of the
human. Honor is self respecting
sell, fidelity IN friendship to q

THE BEST SHOW ON EARTH.

So says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
Walter L. Mains Show which has just
finished its two days engagement here is the
biggest show, ever in Cleveland. The ring
performance is No. 1. The riding is more
than above the average The Aerial Acts,
Bar Acts, Contortion Feats, Leaping, Jug
Cling, Tumbling, ETC., have never been
equaled here. The Hippodrome Races
comprise every known race, and the horses
run for blood, the Comical Donkey, Dog,
Obstacle, Wheelbarrow and Sack Race
abound in fun, the IL trained horses are
educated to do everything but talk, and are
the most superb animals we have ever had
the pleasure to see. The six leaping ponies
and the two horse tandem race. The
twenty horses ridden and driven by one
man is noted feature. The show is free
from all kinds Of takers. Everybody is po-
lite and every thing bran new, both in
ideas, novelty and features. We say to
everybody, go and see it.
Walter L. Mains show will exhibit at
Logan, Thursday, May 5th.

CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.
F. S. Pursell, Of Logan.

The Republican State Convention
in Columbus yesterday selected
F. S. Pursell, Editor of the Logan
Republican Gazette, Chairman of
the state Central Committee. This
is high political honor. 1t is the rec
ognition by great party of Ohio,
to 'fLittle Hooking" a position any
man and any county might well be
proud to secure. The Chairman of
the state central committee is the
most importsnt political power in
Ohio today. He controls the
machinery of the state. He directs
the presidential campaign. He is
the commander-in-chief of the army
which elected Grant and Garfield,
Sherman and Mckinley. We con-
gratulate our brother editor on the
honor conferred on him, and through
him, as presid,ni, to our Associa-
ton and the newspaper profession.
The ms ignificant post master, the
vile cotemporary sinks into obliv-
ion. The Sentinel arms to fight now

Committee.

We Salute The Eag.,e.

For eighty-four years the I.ancas
ter Eagle has spread her shelterine
wings over the Democracy of Fair
field and central Ohio, raising
broods of sterling stalwart demo
Gratis, home guards in her fair fields
adjacent, conquering legions in what
ever cline they landed, democratic
evangels in the outmost posts of all
our country's wide expanded border.
Maligned, traduced, pecked at by
davis, the old paper has survived
and flourished, her fight always on
ward and upward and true to the line,
and has again at the last Primary
perched triumphant over the assaults
of Republicanism, Mugwumpery,
kickers, factions and fools. All the
clements of distrust, disturbance, dis
appointed politicians, hungry office
seekers, selfish factions; Hossism,
Rule or Ruin, combined to fight the
Eagle to the death.
The old bird sails serenely in vic
tory over the wrecks and ruins of
her enemies.
Look down proud Eagle, from the
exalted station with regards not al
together estranged as the SENTINEL
celebrates her semi centennial and
sends congratulations.

The Ohio Patiot says /:

Walter L. Mains circus and menagerie
pitched its tents here last Friday, and drew
a large crowd of people to town. The
street parade was grand and imposing, the
horses in the line being exceptionally fine
specimens Of the equine race. Probably no
show that ever appeared in New Libson
has given such universal satisfaction. The
term marvellous is the only one that can
convey an adequate idea Of the trapeze and
acrobatic feats. The performance is as neat
and clean as any ever seen here, and the
advertised programme was completely car
red out. This feature accounts for its ex-
treme popularity wherever it is exhibited
The side show and the concert were first
class in every particular. In short, there is
a splendid array of talent with the COM
pany, and each and all possess drawing
qualities. is the best tent show on the
road.
Walter L. Mains show will exhibit at

Ex-Governor Campbell was not in
clined to discuss politics. I'm still
something of Cleveland man, but /
doubt ii the Ohio delegation will be in

Campbell in the delegation said OK
Lieutenant Governor Marquis Gov
ernor Campbell is too modest. In my
opinion the delegation will be for a man
west of the Allegheny mountains, and
their choice may be an Ohio man. Any
how, Governor Campbell will stand as
good show as any o! the favorite sons
mentioned" Governor Marquis thought
him a promising dark horse. He said
the defeat of Campbell last fall had not
materially injured his chances for
higher office.
