THOSE who are getting off 80 much
hypocritical cant about our city credit,
would do we'll to look at the Trump
case. 1t may occur to some people in
this city, later on, that an illegally or
ganized council, organized by force,
with men in it who have no right TO
hold their seats, and with members
kept out by chicken thief tactics, may
have some trouble in selling bonds.
The legality of bonds would certainly
be questioned If issued by an Illegally
organized body. This is a point that
those who have some financial interest
In Canton would Go well to observe.
City Clerk Lichtenwalter would do well
to observe the law, or he may hear
something drop.

THERE would have been no Washington
City, Capital of the United States, but for
the veterans of the G. A. r, and their
comrades, hence 1t Is the duty of Congress
TO make e liberal appropriation for their
entertainment at the National Encamp-
ment in that city. dayton Journal.
An appropriation of public money to
entertain the delegates to the G. A. r..
National Encampment would do the
real needy veterans no good. 1'hose
who attend National Encampments
are not objects of charity. They are
able and willing to pay their own hotel
bills. Congress has no right to appro-
pirate public money for any such pur-
pose. Ii they desire to appropriate
money to aid veterans, let them do it
80 that the veterans will get it. The
National Encampment is largely made
up of dress parade soldiers, VINO saw
little service during the war

THE Republican Senate of Ohio kill.
ed the two cents per mile railroad bill
yesterday and also the bill to reduce
the maximum freight rates. In com
menting on the latter killing the Gin
cinnati Enquirer perpetrates the follow
ing keen satire:
"Mr. Griflin's House bill to reduce the
maximum charge for freight rates on
railroads to four cents per ton per mile
was defeated in the Senate. The Sena-
tors were actuated, so it is said, by the
general desire of the merchants of the
State to protect the poor and suffering
railroads. They are entirely satisfied
with the present rate, aud rather than
see the railroads suffer would be will
ing to pay a few cents more per mile

BELFORDS ON HILL.

Balfords Magazine for April Is re-
ceiyed. 1t contains an interesting vari-
ETY. of valuable reading, political and
miscellaneous. The leading a. ticle is
Senator Hill for President by Cham
pion Bissell. Mr.. Bissell champions
Hill eloquently and vigorously. In de.
Tending Hills ambition in seeking the
Office Mr., Bissell says:
Among the moss grown and hoary
old humbugs that have been handed
down to us by the Pecksniffs and Chad
bands of a former epp ch, is the senti-
ment that the Office should seek the
man and not the man the office. Now,
if the man did not seek the Office he
would not be qualified for it, since quail
fications do not grow up and shape
themselves spontaneously, or without
reference to results. The maxim is
thought to have got itself born origin
ally out of the story of CincinnatuS at
his plow, legend which modern criti-
cism consigns to that collection of curl
osities in which we find RomulUs and
Remus, and Helen Of Troy. In fact
such tales are too absurd to be enter
tanned. General Washington desired
to be President, and certain journals of
the day inVeighed with much bitterness
against his ambition, especially In
standing for econd term. Whoever
reads the diatribes of that epoch
against Washington will note that
those of the present time against Sena-
tor Hill sound like echoes or the ancient
thunder. This sort of rhetoric dates
from the remotest antiquity. No col
lection of men, with or without plan
of action, has ever been without its
Thersites."
Mr.. Bissell then enters an able de-
fense of Hills political methods, and
claims that all successful American
statesmen, including Gen. Jackson and
Martin Van Buren, practiced the same
system.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT At MASSlLLON EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING.
Andrew sehAbow, a Cleveland, Lorain
81 Wheeling Brakeman, Meets With a
FriRhtful Death.


FriRhtful Death.
Sunday morning shortly after o'clock
Coroner John II. Opeuhimer was called to
Massilon TO Investigate the killing of a
man on the G, L. q W. railroad at that
point.
The unfortunate man was Andrew
Schabow Of Lorain. He was employed az
brakeman on the G. l.. * W. and was GO
ing south on train passing through Mas
sillon shortly after 3 o'clock in the morn
ing. When the train pulled into Massil-
lon Conductor Mcdonald missed his
brakeman and went back TO investigate.
The mangled remains Of Schabow were
foupd under the train n short distance
into the depot where it remained until the
arrival Of the coroner.
II is supposed that Schabow fell between
two cars and in all probability grabbed
brake rod. He was dragged distance OF
at least one hundred and twenty feet. The
place where he first struck the ground
could be plainly seen yesterday. Along
the track could be seen places where his
feet hit the ground. When discovered be
was laying inside the rails and there was
a big pool of blood which showed conclu.
sively that he had been obliged to release
his hold, after being dragged quite dis
tance.
The body was badly disfigured. The
skull was fractured, there was large cut
in the back of the head, the nose was
broken, there was deep cut near the
nose, the right arm and the left leg were
broken. Coroner Openhimer had the re-
mains removed to an undertaking room
and prepared for burial.
There was TO witnesses to the fearful
accident, Very little could be ascertained
yesterday regarding the unfortunate acci
dent, as the man had only made a few
runs as brakeman. The inquest will be
held today at Massillou.
Coroner Openhimer went to Massillou
this morning and will hold an Inquest this
afternoon.

THE House committee, investigating
Pension Commissioner Raum, unearth-
ed quite a sensation yesterday. 1t de-
veloped a conspiracy on the part of
Raum and pension attorney named
Morgan to break down Congressman
Cooper of Indiana, who is prosecuting
the Raum investigation.
In the committee yesterday Morgan's
testimony was completely broken down
and he was made to confess on the wit
ness stand that his connection with the
case was part of a conspiracy entered
into by himself and Gen. Raum TO

admitted that the scheme was concoct-
ed in Gen. Raum's Office in the pension
department aud that he had gone back
to Indiana and at the latter's request
had sent a decoy letter to Mr.. Cooper
containing S25. He also admitted that
the money had been promptly return
ed. A Washington special says:
"Morgan's testimony today was in the
nature of a confession that he had perjur-
ed himself and the members of the com
mittee, both Republicans and Democrats
alike, were so indignant that the resolu-
ton was offered and adopted before Nor
gan left the stand, demanding that the
commissioner of pensions immediately
disbar him from practice before the PEN
sion Department.
