THE PRESIDENTS PENSION POLICY is
PATRIOTIC.

WE desire to reiterate what we often
said during the campaign, that no SOL
dier need have any fear of any injus-
tice from President Cleveland's admin
istration. We believe that President
Cleveland will favor no action, now or
In the future, to deprive one deserving
soldier of his pension. But President
Cleveland's Pension Commissioner
made mistake in suspending the pen
slons of certain soldiers, pending an in
vestigation.
The mistake was in suspending the
soldier, on the recommend of the
pension examiners, before the soldier
mad chance to be heard in his own de-
fense. 1t is true that no deserving
soldier has lost 81 in pension on ac-
count Of temporary suspension, but
Republican politicians have made
thousands of votes, by charging hos
tility to Union veterans, and citing
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, as the author
of policy to deprive Union soldiers of
their pensions.
No doubt the pension issue lost the
Democrats hundreds of thousands of
votes in the recent elections; on account
of pension suspensions.
The Pension Commissioner should
not have suspended single pensioner
until after his case had been care
fully investigated by a non partisan
commission. Had that policy been
ADOPTED at first there would have been
no party capital made by the Republi.
cans out of pension suspensions; and
we are glad to know that this policy
has now been adopted,
The pension list must be a roll of
honor; and if there are any persons
drawing pensions for alleged disability
that does not exist, or who were not
soldiers in the war, certainly all patri-
otto men and women, of all parties, will
favor the stoppage of such pensions.
An equalization of soldiers pensions
is certainly demanded. AT present
many OF, those who saw no service are
drawing large pensions, while others
who saw hard service all through the
war, and are crippled from the expos
uIes of camp, ,bivouac and battle, are get.
ting a mere pittance.

AT the present moment Mckinley
looms up as the most conspicuous can
di1ate for President in the g. 0. p, but
that does not signify much. or course
all, or nearly all the Democrats of Can
ton, (outside of those Democrats who
usually vote for him) would like to see
Mckinley nominated. We know he
could not carry more than four States
west Of the Mississippi river, and that
he would probably fail of an election,
but on personal grounds, and the feel
ing of local pride in home production,
his nomination for the most exalted
trust in the gift of sixty-iive millions
of Americans, QucludtDg Indians and
millionaires, not taxed), would be ex
ceedingly gratifying. But many
moons will wax fat and wane before
1896, and many things will happen be-
fore then. McKinley's conspicuity now
Is not good omen for three years
hence. His boom has commenced too
soon. 1t is built entirely on his
country's calamity, and his head is
thrown 80 high above his ambitious
fellows, that more bricks are likely to
be thrown at 1t. and some may hit 1t
hard. He is now In an attitude when
combines will be made to compass his
defeat. Twas ever thus with human
nature; especially political human
nature. Still, the Major will have a
good deal of laudatious attention for a
year at least, and lots of fun.

TOO SOON TO TELL

The belief In Washington is well nigh
unanimous that Governor Mckinney
will be- be the Republican candidate
President in 1896.-Cleveland Leader.
No doubt this is true, 1t Is also true,
that such is the almost unanimous
opinion in Ohio But 1t is too soon yet
TO tell who will be the Republican nom
inee In 1896. And now let us give some
reasons for this opinion:
No substantial hope can be enter
tanned for Mckinley until after the
Cougres ssional elections In 1894.
Every Congressman represents an
electoral vote for President.
Next year the Republicans will 60
iuto the campaign for Congressman in
all the states of the Union, ana they
will stand on the Mckinley tariff As
the protective and taxation system of
the Republican party. If the Republic
cans secure the next house on this issue
then Mckinley will be the Presidential
candidate. But If the Republicans lose
the next house on the McKinlty tariff
issue, it will be evident that they must
make " nr " departure, in order to win,
and Mckinley will be cast aside tor
some new ana more progressive man.
This is the way to estimate the COM
ing situation, and all this boom now
NH end 10 dissolving haze, if the
Democrats carry the next House OF
Representatives.
ae trouble with the present boom
for Mckinley is this: 1t is not on solid
ground. He has won through a
ca amity howl, which can only be work
eo IN panic.
If yood sense prevails in Washington
this winter, there will be no panic, or
panicky Democrats in 1894, and Nc
Kinleyism will be as dead then, as it
was in 1890, 1891 and 1892.

UNDER the advise of the President,
Secretary Gresham has withdrawn the
Hawaiian treaty. This is doLe after
careful consideration of the very elab-
crate report of Commissioner Blount,
who was sent to the Sandwich Islands
to investigate the situation, and make
an impartial report. Commissioner
Blount states that while at Honolulu
he did not meet single annfxationist
who expressed willingness to submit
the question to a vote of the people,
nor did he talk with one on that sub
ject who did not insist that if the
islands were annexed suffrage should
be 80 restricted as to give complete con-
troll to foreigners or whites, to the eX-
clusion of the native Islanders. Sec
retary of State Gresham, after an able
review of the situation in Hunolulu,
says:
A careful consideration of the acts
will, think, convince you that the
treaty which was withdrawn from the
senate for further consideration should
not be submitted for its action thereon.
Should not the wrong done to feeble,
but independent State by an abuse of
the authority of the United States be
updone by restoring the legitimate
government? Anything short of that
will not, respectfully submit, satisfy
the demands of justice. Can the
United States consistently insist that
other nations shall respect the inde-
pendence of Hawaii while not respect
ing it themselves? Our government
was the first to recognize the independ-
ence of the islands and should be the
last to acquire sovereignty over them
by force and fraud.
Respectfully submitted,
w. q. GRESHAM.

king COTTON"
Blue and Gray Tor November.

A field of cotton in June is like a
great, brilliant flower bed. Its bloom
resembles hollyhock, and mas the re-
markable popularity of changing its
color from hour to hour. When 1T first
opens, 1t is pale straw color; in a few
hours 1t is pure white; later it is family
pink, and next morning rose color.
The flower is succeeded by triangular
pod, containing in three cells the seeds
and the three locks of white down
which brust forth when the pod opens.
The length and tineness of this fibre, or
STAPLE" as it is called, determines the
grade of the cotton. The "sea-island'
or long g-stapled cotton is vastly more
valuable than the shOrt-stapled, which
is grown on the upland The best cot
ton in the world is grown on Edisto
Island, south of Charleston; the staple
OF this Is nearly two inches long.
Seen under microscope, the cotton
fibres are ribbed. shaped, and not
straight like flax, but twisted like a
coIkscrew. The best sea-island cot
ton Is In beautiful spiral springs that
lend themselves readily to spinning.
This cotton is used only in the manu-
facture of the most delicate fabrics; In
England, a single pound of 1t has been
wrought into 1,026 miles of thread.
1t was at first thought that compress.
sion would iDjure the staple of the cot.
ton; that the fibre would be broken of
short, or the spiral screw, 80 necessary
to good spinning. be crushed fiat. But
it was demonstrated by experiment
that, so far from injuring the staple, II
seemed to preserve 1t, aud since then
the great desire of cotton shippers has
been to get machine to compress the
cotton as much as possible.

SPECIMEN CONGRATULATIONS
From the Cleveland Press.

From the Cleveland Press.
Some Of the congratulatory kilograms
received by Gov. Mckinley are very
amusing.
Here is what the great Michigan
politician sent:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 8.
Shake. II. A. ALGER.
In view of the fact that Mckinley
and Alger crossed swords in several
national conventions and that McKin-
Icy is undoubtedly already candidate
for President, Russell Alger ought ~
explain this telegram. If he NEE 1T
shake hands" well and good. But i he
meant shake, for l am after your Lair,
Mr.. Nominee, that is quite another
story.
From the south comes this bit Of
Judy paste;"
ATLANTA, Gs., Nov 8.
My congratulations Coz, McKin-
ley and the people. A. L. BUCK.
Mr.. Buck, evidently, by wiring
hastily, made mistake in placing the
parties referred to- Most asses would
have put it Mckinley, the people and
God" We don't know who A. e. Buck
II, but he is probably an ex Oh.o o IN and
related to the Ohio boy who announced
that "Me and the dog and father is goin'
out to plough"
A great many of the congratulations
read this way:
All hail Thane of Cawdor, king that
will be.
Now, we regard this as right tough
on Mckinley. If we remember the
yarn Alright, while the witches were
correct in predicting a kingdom for
Cawdor, there was large career of
nightmare, JIM jams, gore and general
deviltry with Cawdor right in the mid
die of 1t before the Thane became the
king; and even after he became king,
Cawdor had anything but merry times,
at home and abroad, and finally had to
go out of this life with his belly full of
imported pauper labor steel and his
mouth full of damnation for one of his
most sincere relatives, Mr.. McDuff. We
truly pity Brother Mckinley if he must
go through the "Thane of Cawdor", bus
mess, and his political friends ought to
have more sense than to rub 1t into
him in that way In his hour of victory.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1893-11-16

Our of the gloom of today we look
ahead and see the rays of light. A plu-
rality In Ohio of $1,000 for Mckinley
makes him the logical candidate Of the
party in 1896 for President. and high
protective tariff the issue. That will
be better for the Democracy than a
compromise candidate and moderate
views on the tariff. The defeat comes
in good time, and will have SOLDERING
effect on Democrats, They bave the
power now and must act. Power
brings responsibility to the people.
The people want no more class legisla-
tion, and to be relieved of their bur-.
dens 30 far as possible. Tariff taxes
must be lowered ana an income tax
laid on vast fortunes. Chron-

Farmer Mcdowell, good Mckinley
Protectionist and Republican, has a
number of highly pedigreed sheep for
sale at half price. He says 30 in his
advertisement in the stock papers
Now why can't the editor of the ALI
ance Review get Trustee Teel and
Farmer Mcdowell together? OF course
they both believe in McKinley's election
in 1896; hence Trustee Teel will be
anxious to invest every dollar he has
In Farmer McDowell's sheep, which on
account of the high tariff on wool
vouchsafed by the Mckinley tariff, he
Is offering at half price.

A MAN, supposed to be crank, was
hanging around the Capitol, In Colum-
bus, Friday, anxious to see the governor.
The policeman, being suspicious of the
individuals movements, detained him
in the rotunda until Executive Clerk
Charles Bawsel came out of the Office,
when he was advised of the actions Of
the man. Mr.. Bawsel concluded to in
vestigate and asked the strange visitor
what he desired to see the Governor
about. The man declined to make
known his business, insisting on being
granted a private audience. Finally
he was prevailed upon to accompany
the policeman into the grounds and was
allowed to go his way
The police have been instructed to
arrest the shaggy bearded Individual If
he should be caught skulking around
the building again.

From the Mansfield Shield.

Two causes were potent factors In
the result. One of these was the pre-
yailing "hard times" While every in-
telligent citizen knows that the Dem
ocratic party Is in no manner respon-
sible Tor the business depression, there
are many voters who are 80 obtuse and
devoid of reasoning power, that they
cannot comprehend cause and effect,
but Jump at a conclusion from what
ever exists at the time being.
The other cause of Democratic de-
feat Is the unjust, un-Democratic, un-
American, and outrageous conduct OF
CIeyelands administration In the mat
ter of appointments. The policy of the
administration in the main has been
that the Democrats are not as well
fitted to hold appointive offices 50 Re-
publicans, that iJ Is almost criminal
offense for Democrat to seek an ap-
pointment, and that the Only Demo
crat the people meant to elect to office
was Grover Cleveland; Republicans
aud mugwumps were TO have all the
other places. There is no mistaking
the fact that the Democratic party iH
thoroughly disgusted with the admin
istratiOn, and the result of yesterday q
election is stunning rebuke TO MT
Cleveland and his mugwump policy.
The tariff had nothing TO do with It,
That question was settled last year,
and the Congress then elected will 90
right on to reform that iniquity. The
cause of tariff reform will not be re-
tarded by the result OF yesterdays
election.

AND THE CAT GAME BACK,
From the Youngstown vlndicator,


The wave that caught and carried
Democracy on its crest to overwhelm-
ing victory year ago, In its recession
has lett the party stranded on the rocks
this fall, defeated but not cast down.
Three times has McKinleyism been
condemned in North, South and West
by overwhelming votes, including what
was the best thought and highest intel
ligence and patriotism OF the Republi-
can party. That such verdict was
rendered in Ohio favoring what is lit
orally Chinese system can be explain
ed only by venal influences.
The money power is the great lever
that lifted Mckinley to the front again.
he is now the logical candidate for
president, viewed in the light OF high
tariff principles, but the great men who
shed lustre on the administrations OF
Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur,who
are alive today, cannot join In his sup
port.
But tariff reform is coming anyway
The day for Mckinley and Sherman
panics must pass away, giving place to
Impetus to American trade, to Amerl-
can ships sailing the seas, and Ameri-
can control of the markets of the world
Ard until its blessings shall fall upon
the land, the same doctrines shall be
preached until at length Ohio rises
from her lethalgy, and Joins In the
chorus.
