given by Russian society ladies in St.

therefore that the Chicago hostess ex-
tends the right hand of hospitality to
the Russian noblcman and ladies who
are now visiting Chicago. They say
that Russians have hosp;tabl ideas

THE silver question, on which the
Cincinnati convention also took a COM
mendable attitude, will be disposed of
satisfactorily by Congress before
the state election, into which, conse-
quently it cannot enter as an issue,
Tariff reform, therefore, Is the one i'm
portant matter that will demand con-
sideration in the state contest. On
that subject the Cincinnati convention
appeals to the voters to support the
principles which the whole country
sustained so emphatically last Novem-
ber, and whicn very nearly carried Ohio
then for the party that proclaimed it
self in favor of them. Nothing has
assuredly happened since, that is calcu-
lated to make popular opinion more
favorable to McRinleyism. On the
contrary, alm0ei eve'y day has fur
nished new evidence that industrial
prosperity will be impossible in this
country as long as the present law,
which favors the creation and strength
ems the power of trusts and gigantic
combinations, that mercilessly crush
all weaker enterprises, is retained on
our statute books. And that being the
case, there is every reason to hope that
the intelligent voters of the state will
consult their own interests, as we'll as
those of the whole country, and admin
lister the rebuke 1t deserves to the party
that asks them to perpetuate the evils
of McKinleyism.-The Catholic Colum-
hian

THOSE Republican papers that have
been bowling for the President to an
nouuce that he did not intend to urge
tariff reform on the people as they de-
sired, must have felt In bad way
when they read the message. He let
them understand that no only did he
intend to deal with the tariff, but he
also intended to do 30 earlier than they
anticipated If other evils of Republican
legislation had not forced itself more
speedily before the country. The Dem
ocratic platform in June, 1892, said:
ave denoupce the Republican legisla-
tion known as the Sherman Act of 1890
as cowardly makeshift, fraught with
responsibilities of danger in the future
which should make all Of Its supporters
as well as its author, anxious for its
speedy repeal" The possibilities OF
danger came more speedily than was
anticipated, and more severe than was
expected at the time. and demands
more immediate attention, and the un-
derlying svils of McKinleyism are not
forgotten by the President, and he does
not forget to inform the people their
wishes wi be carried out at the earli-
est moment American Industries.

VIEWS OF A SILVER ORGAN oE THE
6. Q, P.

We quote below from the Toledo
evening daily in northern Ohio, some
views on the silver question. There is
a large number Of intelligent Republi-
cans, who believe with the Commercial
that 1t would be q severe blow to the
debtor class in this country to add 30
per cent to their obligations by destroy
Ing one-half of our money of ultimate
redemption.
If Congress demonetizes silver, ther.
will be very few OF our western Con-
gressmen who vote for it, who will
ever get back. 1t Is mistake to sup
pose that the great mass of our popu-
lation do not understand this question.
We quote from the Commercial:
England is ringing with the praises
OF President Cleveland. 1t has been
said by Democrat sheet that no other
President was ever so popular In
England as Mr.. Cleveland. II the con-
spiracy inaugurated by England and
blindly promoted we take it, by MIR.
Cleveland and the two afternoon sheets
of opposing parties in this city, to de-
stroy silver as money, shall be carried
through to successful issue, 1t will
mean that the aristocracy of England,
now living in idleness and luxury upon
the interest our government and our
people pay them, will be able to collect
not only their honest debts, but also
force upon US the robbers contribution
of hundreds of millions more. Why
should not England ring with the
praises of President Cleveland There
were few in England to sing the praises
of George Washington, the first Presi-
dent of the republic, while there are
many to shout for Grover Cleveland,
| the last"

game OF politics. In every political
campaign there are many open courses
to defeat, but only one to success. The
Democrats of Ohio have taken the only
course promising successful results.
The way they have commenced the
campaign gives the assurance that 1t
will be active and aggressive from
start to finish. Such campaign holds
out promise of victory which no other
could. This year courage is as neces
sary as intelligence. The people are

CHAPLAIN COUNCIL,

Near Massillon.
YoUNGsToN HILL, o., Aug. 20.-The
Chaplain Council, No. 164, x. of L. of
Newman,. Ohio, and Youngston Hill, three
miles Northwest of MAssillon, celebrated
their fifteenth annual picnic at the K. of
l.. grove on last SaturdAy y. August 10 ia
Several hundred coal miners and families
enjoyed themselves In sociable
manner. The New Berlin band and orN
chestrA delivered very eloquent music
for the concert and dance. must soy
that the band is improving right along.
Among the guests from Canton / noticed
that Messrs' Gentry and SexAuer were
treated very kindly by the citizens of
Youngston Hill, and they have q good
show in their political battle in that direc'
tion.
Several speecnes were made by
the chairman of committees, by the presi-
dent OF Ohio, and by Mr. j. Crawford, rep
resenta,ive Tor Illinois, concerning tue
financial condition of the country and
especially about the idIeness of the mines
Mr.. Crawford addressed the audieuce
about an hour and everybody listened to
him with great interest. Concerning the
critical condition of our country he said
as follows: "What IL the cause OF our
misery and idleness? Ia the question
around the country. The Republicans
explained that the change OF government
is the cause of 1t. The business people
are all Republicans and they have no con.
hdence In Democratic government and
don't invest any money in business. Tee
Democrat says: That the Sherman silver
bill is the ruination of our country. The
preachers explain that the American peo~
pie don't attend the church sufficiently
and the Lord has punished them for the
wickedneSs. The Peoples party (Prohir
bitioD) try to explain that beer and
whiskey is the only cause of the trouble
in our country. Who 10 right in all this
doctrine? Nobody, said Mr.. Crawford
and will explain to you the matter so
plain that you must understand it. We
have sixteen million votes in our country,
two million OF them are bankers, railroad
czNrs, lawyers, Wholesale manufacturers
and Wall street men; fourteen million
voters nrs all hard workinRmen, The
railroad men have among 1856 Cong eis-
men 80 Representatives. "a, 900 lawyers have
10, and bankers and wholesale manufac-
turers the balance of the 1856.
The fourteen million of workingmen
who are building up the country have not
q single Congressman to represent them,
and / D wonder that the business trans,
action of Congress is not made In favor of
the working class of people. The reason
Of the trouble In our country 10 the igno-
rance and the stupidity of the workmen
who permit the lazy people to control the
industrious ones. The workmen are
sleeping right along, and they will awake
when their families and themselves get
hungry WITNESS.
