CONSULAR STORY. AS TOLD FROM
WASHINGTON.

An Ohio man got q very decent office to-
day, Anthony Howells, OF Massillon, hav-
ing been appointed Consul to Cardiff,
Wales. The salary Is $1,000 q year, and
the feee are, perhaps, considerable. Mr..
Howells is Hill Democrat, although he
lives in Ohio. He has also been an anti.
Campbell Democrat. Under all the polits
icai circumstances 1t seems strange there,
fore that he should have won the Presi>
dents favor. or course he couldn't ask
Campbell to help him, and he soon learn-
ed that Brice was practically without ins
huence. His Congressman, Dr. Ikert, 10
new and inexperienced. His chance was
small enough therefore until State Sena.
tor "Bill" Brown, of New York city, editor
OF the Evening News and Tammany
man, became interested In his candidacy.
Years ago Howells and Brown lived in
Youngstown. Brown was an editor and
lawyer and Howells did him many a favor.
Brown took Howelis candidacy to himself
and made IL personal matter. He came
to Washington and saw the President,
and now Howells will go to Cardiff.
The above Is from the washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Leader.
1t may go with the average reader Of
the Leader, but it don't go on the Tus-
carawas or the Nimishillen. Col. Bill
Brown Is good friend of Growers and
good Democrat, but he is not running
Secretary Gresham's department, neith-
or is he dropping any official plums out
of the second story of the White House.
Senator Howells' appointment was
made In the regular way, and by special
effort of Senator Brice and Congress-
man Ikirt. He had very strong en-
dorsements from leading Democrats all
over Ohio, and Senator Brice made q
personal effort in his behalf.

Democrats. Mr.. Simmons was In
Washington yesterday, and had an In
terview with the President. The Wash
ington special to the Cleveland Leader
Says
"Mr. Simmons came to Washington TO
see for himself. There are more than q
hundred office seekers from North Caro-
lima in Wa ninRton, and they have been
here since March A.. There are three or
four hundred Georgians and thousand
VirRinians and men from Maryland. Mr..
Simmons saw the President this after
noon. Tonight he 10 in high spirits. He
soys that the President means TO do the
proper thing, and that he gave him to un-
derstand that he proposed 70 award all
the offices TO the Democrats. "There will
be no trouble about removals." said Sim :
mons. "The Republicans are booked to
gon And Simmons is not the only man
" ho has caught the White House drift.
There is big rift In the heavens now,
and lot of good Democrats are looking
into IL, and are radiant with the light
they see.n

JUDGE BLkNDIN ON SILVER.

Judge Blandin of Cleveland, will dis
cuss the silver question In Canton on
Thursday evening, May %, under the
auspices of the Y. M. ID. Q. 1t is not
yet settled where the meeting will be-
but probably in the Schaefer opera
house.
Mr.. Blandin has given the silver
question thorough study and investiga-
ton, and his address will have no polit-
ical bias. He is a gentleman who In
vestigates every question OF public
concern, with a conscientious desire to
know the truth, and his talk Is always
IN line with his conscience, whether II
helps or hurts the party with which he
has affiliations.
The Judge Is sure to have alarge and
appreciative audience, and the large
and appreciative audience is sure to
hear a talk worth hearing

THE SUPREME COURT OF OHIO.

The Ohio Supreme Court Is busily
engaged In patching up some of the
partisan work of the Ohio Legislature.
There was time when the Ohio Su-
preme Court could not be depended
upon for this kind of work New YorE
World.
You do not surprise US by such com
ments, for the citizens OF Ohio know
why third rate and unknown lawyers
were placed on the bench by the lobby
lists and tricksters now In control of the
Republican party of this State. They
were selected to do dirty work and they
have never failed yet In the doing
They are partisans and partisans only
We blush over 1t, to be sure, but ther
we might as well admit the fact

from neither cause. But 1t 1S
learned that the representatives Of
Spain and the United States have
thus far failed to reach satisfactory un-
derstanding regarding the programme
of courtesies to be exchanged between
the president and the infanta in the
course of her stay in Washington. Ac-
cording to custom the princess at con-
venient period after her arrival would
call upon the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land at the White House. Whether or
not the president should return the call
upon the princess at her quarters in the
hotel Is the question upon the settlement
of which depends the future course Of
the Infanta.
If the infanta were travelling through
the country as O tourist she would pay
her respects to the president, but no
visit from him would be expected; nor
indeed would 1t be proper. So, too, If
she were here as the representative Of
the government OF Spain no answering
visit would be expected to her call upon
the president but as the representative
In her person Of the queen having been
delegated by her under the invitation of
the United States to visit this country,
the Spanish officials are quoted as saying
that that courtesy which should prevail
between individuals of the same rank,
not etiquette, demands that the visit Of
the infanta should be reciprocated by
the president.
The subject has been very thoroughly
discussed in Washington and Madrid
and the telegram from the latter capital
printed on Saturday morning expressing
an apprehension that the infanta's
health would not permit her to continue
her journey to the United States is con-
strued here as preparing for her return
| to Spain from Cuba If it is found neces-
The situation is embarrassing and many
suggestions have been made of expedi-
| ents to relieve 1t. One Of these, it is IN
derstood, was that the infanta and suite
be entertained at the White House dur
ing her stay, thus obviating altogether
the difficulty over the visit.

SOLID ADVICE TO THE PEOPLE.
From the Columbus Press.

It is to be hoped that both political
parties, In their respective county pri-
maries and conventions this year In
Ohio, will nominate their best men for
candidates for the General Assembly.
The time has come when seven by nine
Pewee crossroads statesmen should be
kept out of the legislature. Men of
common sense who are net on the make,
and who don't think 1t their chief duty
to come to Columbus to drink up all its
whisky, or be the servants of corpora
tion lobbyists, should be selected. Many
of the counties had better be unrepre-
sented, than send up such bloviating
nincompoops and leeches as they have
before sent In both political parties.
Give us change. The best interests
of the state demand new order OF
legislators.
NOTE BY THE EDIToR.--It Is rea-
sonably safe to say that Stark county
will imbibe this advice with avidity
and select a new order of legislators,
and 1t is gratifying to know that our
supply Is equal to the demand.

STARK COUNTY HoNoREo WITH AVALU.
ABLE APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Hon. Anthony
Howells of Massillon, as consul to Car
diff, Wales, is one of the best and most
satisfactory appointments made by the
State Department. It gives great sat
isfaction to the Democratic party, and
is recognized as first class appoint
ment on commercial grounds. Senator
Howells is not only a man of brains
but high order of business capacity,
and the position of consul Is entirely a
business trust. The consulate of Gar
diff Is one that Senator Howells will
thoroughly enjoy. He goes back to the
land of his birth. Cardiff is sea port
town of 5000 population, in South
Wales, on the river Taft. The city en-
Joys q large trade, and the flags of all
nations can be seen In her com.
modious harbor. Cardiff Is one of
the older cities of Britain. The old
Cardiff Castle, which still stands, was
built In the 11th century. The Duke of
Normandy spent 81 years Of his life
inside Its gloomy walls, by edict of
Henry /. Oliver Cromwell captured
1t in 1648. The supposition that the
famous Cardiff giant was first discoy-
cred in this ancient city of barbaric
lore Is q mistake. The giant, which
did duty as slick humbug, was dug
up in Onondaga creek, near Cardiff,
New FORK, post village in Onondaga
county. This bogus giant was cut
from block Of gypsum at Fort Dodge,
Iowa, and carved into a human form,
ten and half feet long, by one of the
aboriginals of Chicago, in 1868.
The DEMOCRAT PUB. Co., one and all,
tender hearty congratulations to
Senator Howells.
A half a century ago he came to this,
then western wilderness, poor boy of
the mines. Now he goes back full Of
honors, as one of our best representa-
tive Americans, to typify In his per-
son and career the strength and glory
of our free institutions.

Mines stiIl burning.

UMoNTowN, Pa, May 15.-Mine In
spector Duncan is back from a visit to
the Banning and Whitsett mines. Both
have been burning for some weeks and
are still very hot. The fire liue at the
Banning is under water, but too hot to
permit Of work. The water will be
allowed to stand until the mine has
cooled off. At Whitsett matters are
still in bad shape. No one has ever been
able to penetrate 80 far as the spot where
Inspector Duncan and the others were
found after the late explosion. The
mine Is full of gas,

LeweIIing After a Trust.

TOPEKA, May 13.-Governor Lewell-
ing and Attorney General Little are
after the paper trust. The secretary of
the Salina Paper Mill company came
here and stated that an agent of the
trust had threatened to undersell him al
every point in Kansas if the Salina com.
pany did not join the combine. The at
torney general thereupon addressed in.
structions to the county attorneys on the
instructions of the governor, to arrest
agents of the trust.

JAMES WHITCoMB RILEY does not
approve of Mr. Gladstone's selection of
John Ruskin as poet laureate of Eng
land. Mr.. Riley talks right to the
point when he says "Mr. Ruskin has
written no poetry since his youth. He
is known by the people only as a grace
ful and forceful writer OF prose, agreat
critic and an authority on all matters
of taste. Swinburne is great master,
and that he was not chosen does not
borrow from his glory or the praise
that is:due him. The poet-laureate must
not be offensive to the political ma
chimes. He must In a measure pander
to them"
