THE protection organs are chuckling
over their fancy that the reduction of
the sugar duty and the squandering of
the Treasury surplus have rendered
the work Of tariff reform difficult.
They predict that the Mckinley tariff

yielding OF Republican campaign funds
viii be "very hard to oVerturn." LAY

A FAT TAKE FOR Ex.coNeREssMAN OH,
LlGER.


Ex-Congressman Ohliger, of Woos
ter, has been appointed Collector of
Internal Revenue for this, the 18th,
district, at a salary of S4,500 per year.
This is the fattest take that has been
given out In this district by this ad-
ministration, and Mr.. Ohliger Is to he
congratulated.
His candidacy was not generally
known in Stark county, but he is under
stood to be strong with the powers that
be In Washington.
Mr.. Ohliger is an old Canton boy; an
old boy now, (but was young
boy in CantonO with a host
of friends in the county of his
early adoption. He is first class busi-
ness man, and as his integrity is un-
questioned he will make strictly first
class officer.
He has the control of number of
very desirable appointments, and for
the benefit of our large Democratic
clientage, we will enumerate the giddy
gifts that will go to good Democrats of
this locality:
First, there is the deputy; salary
81 800, very soft snap. Then there
are ten assistant deputies, all blubbery
with fat, one with a salary of 81 1,200,
with a salary of ST. 100 each, and one
with the less enticing salary of 5000.
Then comes an easy clerkship with a
salary of $1,000; then two additional
clerks with a salary of $50 each, and
one clerk, with salary of 800. Then
comes the whiskey gaugers; position
that requires an expert taste, and where
the fees are ample. In addition to all
this there are ten storekeepers and
gaugers, to he appointed by Mr.. Ohliger
who get from 80 to $3.50 per day, for
| the easiest kind of work.
We feel like saying that the working
Democrats of Stark are entitled to q
few of these soft places,
If not, why notp

THE AMERICAN DUDE.
staff Correspondent Cleveland Leader.


WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1O.-Every
fop in Washington now turns up his
trousess, in imitation of the earl who
was welded to little schoolgirlin New
York the other day. Pink shirts, white
collars, and blue neck.scarfs have been
worn for year, maybe year and
half. Rumor has 1t that the earl is not
above strong liquor in moderation.
Even if that be proved, the trade in ice
cream soda and mineral waters will
hardly languish this summer. Pop will
not go out altogether. The American
dandy Of today is better man than
was the dandy q hundred years ago.
He doesn't get tight, nor race horses,
nor breed dogs, nor fight, nor play
poker. Generally he is sgentleman all
through. He can pull a strong oar,
play lawn tennis, ride q horse and q
bicycle, leap, dance and run, swim, turn
somersaults, and finally get married and
rear a large family of children.
The dude, as he is vulgarly called,
has many virtues. Above all he is
cleanly. Did you ever thing of that ?
He is not an Anarchist. He can work
if he has to. know dude who was
once cowboy. l know another who
became tramp, by COmpulsiOn, and
eventually prosperous business man.
The modern cOXcomb has q clear, strong
head. He is self-possessed. He looks
you in the eye when he talks. His nails
are pared, his hair is cut, and his face is
shaved every morning In summer he
wears light flannels or fancy linens,
He is pleasant to the eye, likewise to
the nose.

THE Cleveland Leader is trying to
make some political capital for the 9,
o. o. because the President has ordered
a scrutiny of our pension list. We are
of the opinion that the patriotic citi-
zens of all parties will approve of the
Presidents action. The President will
only be subject to just criticism when
worthy soldiers are cut off the pension
list, but all fair minded citizens will
approve his action, if only unworthy
soldiers are cut off.

Is found in the absence Of the necessary

pigment enough in the iris and upon its
posterior surface 10 prevent the red reflex

The chnroid being likewise deficient in
pigment, the excessive amount Of light
dazzles and greatly confuses the vision,
Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments

1t seems almust incredible that canary
could be taught to SPEAK, nevertheless,
there have been well authenticated cases In
which this seemingly impossible feat has
been accomplished.
The most notable instance was that Of a
canary exhibited in London in 1858, and 1t
had most remarkable history, ltspareuts
had previously successfully reared several
broods, but in the early part Of the year
in question Matched out but one Of four
eggs. Strange TO say. they entirely neg
lected the little one, aud Immediately re
built nest over it, The owners Of the
birds accidentally discovered this fact and
removed the forsaken one almost dead. IL
was placed in flannel by the fire, and after
the greatest attention was restored and
raised by hand
The fact OF its being treated in this man
ner, separated from all other birds caused
1t to become very familiar with It's foster
parents, and Its first singing notes ware en-
tirely different from those uttered by or
binary canaries. Being continually nd
dressed in endearing terms by its mistress,
1t astoBishsd her one day BY suddenly re
peating the words 'sKissiel kissier' This
became an everyday occurrence, and from
time to time other terms were added to lts
vocabulary,
For hours together, except during the
molting season, this extraordinary biri
would call out in tones almost as clear as
if uttered by human voice, such sen
tences as Dear, sweet Titchiem--the name
given Ii By its mistrcss-'iKiss AIinnier'
kiss me, dear Mlnnief' ''Kissie kissie.
kissie, sweet LITTLE Titchien' "Weel gee,

oped a faculty for whistling, the first bar
Of "God Save the Queen being its favorite

been exhibited in London in 1885 but all
authorities Rgree that it was In no way
equal to the one described. Detroit Free
