DIR. GOODWIN ON JAY GOULD.

The Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Chicago,
preached sermon on Sunday evening
on Jay Gould. The preacher took bis
text, from the seventeenth chapter of
Jeremiah aud the eleventh verse, GAS
the partridge siteth on eggs and hatch
eth them out, so he that geteth riches
and not by right shall leave them in the
midst of his days and at his end shall
be fool" We are much pleased with
the sermon of DR.. Goodwin. We wish
we had more such preachers as the
Rev. DR.. Goodwin of the Simpson
Methodist church of Chicago. The
points he made against the kind of life
that Jay Gould lived and the kind Of
death that Jay Gould died, are worthy of
careful study and prayerful considera-
ton. Here is an extract from the SER
mon:
at has been said that of the dead we
should say nothing but good. If that
were the case, we wouldn't say much
about some people. Mr.. Gould was
enormously rich-so wealthy that he
hardly knew to what extent himself.
1t is a bad state Of society that allows a
man TO heap up such riches. The ques-
tion is, How did he obtain such wealth &?
He has been called a wrecker, and l
need not explain to you what that
means. He was a pirate that sailed the
seas of buginess, and he ran down every
craft he could. The next question is,
How did he use that wealth? He used
it for himself and for his family. He
did not le We o cent for charity. He
hedged it about in every way so that it
should run in the same groove. II is a
case of unparalled selfshness. But then
hedidn't take any with him What might
he not have done with his wealth. He
might have left his children 100000
each and given the rest to charity. He
died Of poverty-poverity of spirit. All
him were starving children and
poverty-stricken people, but he never
put out hand TO help them. Oh, the
good that might have been done by that
man, and he died and lost it ALL"
Jay Gould has probably ascertained
by this time, if our Presbyterianism is
good for anything, that it is not all of
life to live, nor all of death to die.

A cAllEoRNlA SENSATION.


A tremendous social sensation has
just broken loose in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, that is town gossip all over the
state. 1t involves the wife of Ex-
Governor Stoneman, and the million
aire Judge Brunson of Los Angeles.
General Stoneman will be remembered
as one of the most conspicuous generals
of the war for the Union. He was one
of our most brilliant Cavalry officers,
ranking next to Sheridan.
Mrs. Stoneman is handsome, intel
ligent woman, twenty years her hus-
bands junior. She was the belle of
Baltimore when Stoueman married her.
Judge Brunson served as her legal
adviser, and, it is alleged, wound up by
becoming her lover. A few months
ago Stoneman discovered their intimacy
and left his home, but his wife induced
him to return. twas then given out
that his mind was failing.
Then Mrs. Brunson began the war;
fare. She gathered evidence that the
Judge and Mrs. Stoneman had gone on
junkets together to many places in
Southern California, and so she brought
the suit. Letters written by Mrs. Stone
man to Judge Brunson, have been dis
covered that are compromising.
The New York Worlds special from
Los Angeles says: "Ths suit flied for
divorce yesterday by Mrs. Anson Brun-
son, has preciDitated sensation that is
the talk of California"
This affair will wreck two of the
most prominent families in California,
and send down to an early grave, in
sadness aud humiliation, one of the
graDdest soldiers and most knightly
gentleman of this generation-Majo or
General Geo. b Stoneman.

JAY GOULD'S FAME.

Rather a crust of bread and content
ment than millions gained by question
able methods and unaccompanied by
the friendship of fellow men. Mr.. Gould
leaves a magnificent fortune for his chill
dren, but what funeral Grafton it is
that is being preached all over the land!
Does it pay?-Philadelphia Inquirer.
He spent his days in hard work and
his nights in worry and died in the
midst of both work and worry. Living
he was no happier than many q man
who owns not as many cents as he
owned millions, and dying he had to
come to the same end as millions of
others--a little piece of earth to sleep
in and perhaps judgment bar in the
future Iowa State Register.
A full history Of this villains crimes
would require volume for their detail
ing, and his subtleties were so great
that none but the patient student could
follow them through all their variety.
His achievements could not be told
with the simple directness which IS
possible in recounting the adventures
of Jack Cade and other noted highway
men.-St. Paul Globe.

Letter From an ONCE Seekers Bureau in
wasbington-He Gives Some Facts and
Pointers That are Of Interest to Demo-
Gratis.
Some two weeks ago, a Canton Dem
ocrat, who is an applicant for a clerk
ship in Washington, under the coming
administration, wrote to party in
Washington, who is supposed to be on
the inside of an information bureau,
This party asked particularly about
certain offices now held by Republicans
of Canton. The letter, published, is In
reply, and it explains itself:
INFORMATION BUREAU, |
Washington, d. O., Dec, 10, 1892. !
DEAR SIR
Your favor at hand and contents
noted. 1 am always willing to render
any information that lies in my power,
when l can do so. Upon inquiry l
learn Rev. l.. M. Kuhns is holding a
position in the Census Bureau and Of
course, that being the case, he is not
shielded by the Civil Service Rules, as
that Bureau does not come within the
scope of the classified service. He is in
the 9th Division. and the division
chiefs name is A. L. Shuman. AS to
his salary, could not say positively, but
think it not less than 81 POO nor more
than $1,000. The Major evidently got
him the place, and political influence
has no doubt kept him there up to the
present, as we'll as some others know,
halling from Canton. I hope the
change of administration will oust
every mothers son of 'em. Any infor-
nation wanted at any time, l will be
pleased to furnish. hope a. G. ION
ner's ucoessor will be a stark county
Democrat. Why don'ty you make appli-
cation for ALI Riders place, who is

You will get the place if you "stand in"
with DR.. Ikirt, your Congressman. Any
other Information will be cheerfully
furnished. STANHoPE.

DEFENDING JAY GOULD,
From the Toledo News.

Newspapers that had the manhood
to tell the truth about Jay Gould have
not been prosecuted in the courts yet
for "maligning the Dead" but they
have been denounced by the stall-fed
monopoly presses,
One of the claims now made is, that
Jay Gould's success (?) starting as a
barefoot boy and accumulating $780,
0O0O00in thirty years, is merely evi-
deDce of the wonderful opportunities
this country affords to enterprise. OF
course the inference is that every man
in this country could accumulate SlOO-
100000 had he pursued Jay Gould's
methods.
The bold, naked, eternal, indisputable
truth is that Jay Gould's success IN
extortlng such vast wealth from the
public, is the highest possible proof
that the masses of producers-toilers-
are defraunded and denied the oppOr-
tunities guaranteed them by the con-
stitution of this nation. Mark the
language and the News knows the full
import of 1.-THE producers are denied,
robbed Of their inherent rights by a
system that permits one man to appro-
PIRATE the fruits of the life toll of 10000
men. Jay Gould's fortune and other
similar fortunes are piled on the wreck
and ruin of human rights and hopes
and toll. The foundation is human
bones, the girders are human muscles
and nerves, the cement is human blood.
Ths solder is fused by the fire of hell
and satan himself is the architect.

SNOW AND CRANBERRlES,

While we are in the midst of misty
days, in Ohio, with mild snow aurries
and drsary rain drizZles, they are all
showed up in Democratic Wisconsin
La Crosse is town larger than Can
ton, and yet the snow is so deep up
there that the WOOD sleds, with cord
wood for the people to burn (coal is too
dear) and frozen hogs could hardly get
into town, on account of the big snow
drifts, in some places ten feet high.
The La Crosse Republican prints the
following as editorial:
"The good results from the recent
heavy snow fall have not yet been felt
on the La Crosse market for the reason
that the country roads are so badly
drifted that it makes it almost impos-
sible to haul heavy loads over them.
The local market remains the same
with but one exception, and that is
cranberries, which have advanced 81
per barrel. AT the market yesterday
not a load of any kind of wood was
measured, and at the city scales there
were but thirteen loads weighed. The
number of different articles weighed
were: Hogs, three; hay, two; oats,
three; wheat, one; and corn, one"
How happy we ought to be in Can
ton, when we contrast our climate and
conditions with La Crosse. Here we
have the cheapest and hottest coal in
the world, and even in the most eths-
real of our mildness the cranberry mar
ket does not tamper with our digestion.
Think of La Crosse, with $1,000 popu-
lation, with no wood on the market,
and snow ten feet deep in the valleys,
and cranberries advanced 81 a barrel.

Speaker Crisp will refuse to recognize
Tom johnson of Cleveland, because

influence his conduct as Speaker. He
is too large man for that.

What Leading Orators and News
papers Said of the Defeat in
1854.
1t is well in this campaign to remem-
Der some of the statements which were
made by Republican orators not only in
the nation at large, butin the state of
Minnesota two years ago, when the
Mckinley bill was under discussion. l
assert, as matter Of common knowl-
edge and common sense to the rank and
file of the Republican party of Minneso-
Ia, that, whatever their individual ideas
may be upon this question, they are
absolutely controlled by the pro-
tected monopolists of the Eastern states.
The great official organ among the
newspapers OF the Republican party of
Minnesota for more than twenty years
has been the Pioneer Press, published
at the capital of the state, and [ desire
to read to the Republicans of this audi
ence the declaration of that paper, made
at the time when the principle of the
Mckinley bill was repudiated. In an
editorial, published the day after the
election, two years ago, the Pioneer
Press used the following language:
1.-The campaign which ended Tues
day was fought, as far as the leaders
could counsel 1t, upon the sole issue of
the Mckinley bill. Mckinley
ism seemed to have bewitched every
bOdywhO came within Its influence.
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Mckinley declared
that this must be an aggressive" cam
paign, and that its agressiveness must
consist in challenging the opinion of the
country on this one particular measure

of raising duties which the people
wanted reduced. They carried their
fsnatical devotion to the prohibit
DRY tariff idea from congress
to the stump. They drago0ned
the party in the field into
support of them, just as they had dra-
grooned the party in congress into vOt-
ing for their bill. They made the Nc
Kinley bill the heart and soul of the
campaign. and if we could collect in a
volume all the speeches made by them
in the last four weeks we should find
ten times as much space devoted to the
eulogy of the Mckinley bill as to all
other questions combined. They were
determined that the nation should vote
Oh this issue of theirs, and they have
had their will. We trust that they are
satisfied with themselves and with the
destruction which they have wrought.
"At any rate, there is this much sat
isfactiOn to be had out of it. We know
just what the country thinks about the
Mckinley programme. This defeat is
not the result of apathy. 1t was not
caused by the stay-at-hOme vote. 1t is
deliberate rebuke from the people
who believe in protection, but not in
protection run mad. The Republicans
Won by a protective platform in 1883.
Out thSiC was uOO d Wuiu VI q ~ iiobiO
in that platform which breathed
a hint of higher duties. Such
thing the country never dreamed of I'M
til the bill, now a law, was proposed for
passage, and the country repudiates it,
root and branch. This is chastiSement
by Republican hands. 1t is fiagellation
by men whose belief in the protective
system is as strong as 1t ever was. But
they will not permit unrebuked wan
ton increase of taxes and of prices not
for protection, but for the purpose of
destroying foreign trade. DOubtfully,
reluctantly, almost despairingly, they
have chosen to send majority of Dem
ocratS to Washington rather than to
ratiIy the suicidal work which Reed and
Mckinley accomplished. Will the
party heed the lessOn?'
Fellow citizens, l say that never in
the columns of great political journal
have more pathetic or more instructive
words been published than these which
l have read. 1t is confession from the
leaders of the Republican party of the
state of Minnesota that they are tied,
hand and foot, hard and fast, to the
chariots of the protected mOnOpollsts
of the East. L say, no matter
what men may be elected by the Repub-
lican party of the state of Minnesota to
represent you in congress. when they go
there they will take their place, and
they must take their place, in the Re-
publican caucus, and Mr.. Carnegie will
telegraph them from Scotland what he
wants to make the tariff, and they will
have to make it accordingly. CHEERS
