scoring, counts for nothing in the Ameri-
can game. but in effect means a gain of
twenty-five yards for the side playing on
the defensive.
There are many differences between the
canadian and the American rules. but the
similarity is greater than one might ex-
pect before consulting a book of rules.
Inc differences seem to be more in the
methods OF play than in the rules them
serves. As rule. in the American game
every play is made In accordance with
signal given by the captain of the
side which has the ball. In the Canadian
there is no signaling Interference. lead
ing feature of the American game. is not
permitted in the Canadian. The penalty
tor violation of the rules in the American
game Is the loss of five yards or the sur
render of the ball; in the Canad an it is
penalty kick or free kick for goal. The
Canadians play with fifteen men. much the
same rs IN England.
These are the essential differences in the
rules, but the differences in the methods
are even greater. In the American game,
since possession OF the bail is SO impor-
tant. very few risks are taken of losing it,
ana consequently there is very little pass
. ~.1N AAi0Sh iSsS hiCklug tlaH III the
Canadian game. There is also no dribbling
IN the American game, an important fea-
ture IN the Canadian. The ball is never
kicked OH in the Canadian sense of the
term, the side having the ball simply form
ing wedge and charging the opposing
line.
American football players have not
nearly so much chance for display of in
dividual brilliance as do the Canadians,
and the great value of good team work is
apparent. If a good run is made it is due
to large extent to interference, and no
one except the half-backs and the full
backs can do much running. In the Ca
madam game, which is more open, there is
plenty OF scope for good running and good
kicking.
Capt. Kerr, Of the champion team of
Canada, in comparing the two games re-
Gently said:
After season of study and experience
OF their game We could put an eleven in
the field against them that they would
find it very difficult to beat. Their tack

ton not merely OF bringing him down. but
OF landing him nearer his own goal than

binations are wonderful, and would be i'm
practicable to US except perhaps in the
colleges. Repeated delays after the
downs are objectionable, out think their
system of penalizing, by allowing the non
offending side 80 many yards, is good
one."

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

retary's Duties Too Mtxitisudinous
to Admit OF Effective Work.

OLYMPIA, Jan. L.-ISpecial. l-Secretary
of State Weir has completed his biennial
report. 1t is comprehensive review of
the business of his Office. agld in conve-
nient appendix are furnished lists of the
members of the coming legislature, state
officers and officers-elect. members of the
various state boards and commissions, the
commissioned notaries, numbering over
2,l00; the corporations that 5ave filed arti-
cles, together with statements of receipts
and expenditures and fresh statistical
matter such as is usually Published by a
bureau of statistics.
Mr.. Weir says that it has been clearly
emonstrated that the secretary of state
ought to be relieved of largo amount Of
ex-officio duties now imposed upon him
by law as a member Of the tide land COM
mission, the state land commission, the
state library commission, the state board
of equalization of taxes and as sealer of
weights and measures and auditor of
state printers accounts. lie SAYS that
"the insurance department has become
such large and cumbersome institution
that justice to the interests involved de-
mands its segregation into separate office
or department" The work of the insur-
ance division is reviewed AMI the protec-
ton accorded to policy holders and stock
holders stated. 1t is shown that the in
surance department., which was organized
June 26, 1890, has now underts supervis-
ion $50 companies, and that che revenue
of the department has made IT more than
self-sustalning.

WHY THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED.

EDITOR NEWs-D EwS-DEMoCRAT: !
have just returned from visit to East
Liverpool, and last evening saw q
laboring man from East Akron, and
have q "flea In my ear" that am going
to get out; as 1t makes me uneasy. /
labor for my daily bread and that of
my family, and God knows l have a
hard time of it. Now 1 am told that
at Akron the shops and factories con-
trolled by Democrats are running and
the men are at work, while the shops
controlled by such rich Republican
managers and millionaires as Col. Con-
ger and MIR. Grouse are shut down, and
the men, women and children depend
ent for work in those factories are suf-
fering for the necessaries of life.
also learned at East Liverpool that the
big potteries controlled by Republicans
are shut down, and the Taylors and
other millionaire friends of our Canton
Governor, are saying they are shut
down because they are afraid of free
trade. On the other hand l saw with
my own eyes, that the potteries con-
trolled in part and mostly by Demo-
Gratis, such as the East Liverpool Pots
terry Co., the Standard Cooperative Co.,
and the Dresden Co., are all In opera
ton, with their men at work.
Now am also told that the request
has gone out from Columbus from the
Chairman of the Republican Commit
tee, asking all the proprietors of the
shops and factories, owned by Repub-
licans, not to open up until after the
election. If this is so, then every man,
who has to work for his bread, and the
aunnort of hja fpmiIv ahottld knnuu n
After the affair at Homestead, l should
not be surprised In hearing that some

AN AUSPIcIouS OPENING.

The Neal and Taylor opening at the
Tabernacle on Friday evening was q
great success. No better or more
auspicious opening meeting ever trans
pired in Canton. And it was an emf
nently satisfactory meeting. Meals
speech is a strong, logical and compact
argument on the tariff and finance,
aud Col, Taylor's Is scathing expose of
the acts of omission and commission
(mostly commission) of the worst legis-
lature our century of history has de-
veloped.
Neal acts like a man confident of
victory, and he certainly deserves it..
There Is wide contrast between
Meals campaign methods and those of
Mckinley. Neal travels alone and
relies upon argument, straightforward
statements and earnest appeals to the
conscience and judgment of the
Mckinley travels with a retinue of
salaried private secretaries, reporters
and presidential boomers.
Neal Is running for Governor of Ohio,
with view of giving all his attention
to the duties of the office, If elected.
Mckinley gives little attention now
to the duties Of his Office, and will give
less, if elected. He is running for
President of the United States and is
using the Office and the taxpayers Of
Ohio to aid his personal ambition.
If Neal Is elected we shall have
careful, able and stricly honest and
economical administration.
If Mckinley Is reelected the reck-
less waste, criminal scandals, and in
creased taxation which have charac-
terized his administration will be con-
tinued
The patriotic voters of Ohio ought
not to hesitate which candidate is the
best for the best interests of all the
people of the State, and the drift of
public opinion is now strongly In the
direction of Neal.
The Democracy of Stark county will
give Neal substantial majority.
