ST. VALENTINE.
Some of the Ancient and Modern Obsery-
ances of the Day.


ances of the Day.
Apropos Of the subject of st Vslen-
tines day. it should be ssid that nothing
could be further from the purpose of the
day than the questionably comic and uu-
questionahly coarse prints with which it
is now usually associated. In the olden
times on this day messengers (tor ST.
Valentines day is older than the postal
service were busy carrying missives in
exchange between young people, but
they were all of q tender sentimental ma
ture. for the day was sacred to love and
lovers.
Some have traced the observances of
the day to feast held by the ancient
Persisns in the month of February, a
feast dedicated to Isfendarmuz. the guar
dian Of the fair sex. At this time the
women enjoyed all the privileges which
are with US the prerogstives of the leap
year. Wives were relieved from the duty
OF submission .Ld exercised the right of
command over their husbands, while
insidens, with sacrifice Of aelicscy, woot d
and won if they would, the young men of
their choice. A closer similarity exists,
however, between what was formerly the
chief ceremonial OF st. Valentines Gay
and one Of the practices of the Luperca-
liza, feast of the Romans, which was also
celebrated in the month of February.
The young nen chose companions of the
geutler sex by placing the names of the
fair ones in some convenient receptacle
and drawing name from this as chance
might direct. This custom had its charm
for christian as well rs pagan, and it con-
Linued to be observed long after the gods
and goddesses of r me and all the rites
by which they we're ~orshipped had
passed away.
Relic of Pagan Days.
TIE good fathers OF the primitive Chris
tian church frowned Upon this relic of
pagan days, but concluded that they
could not abolish it, they determined that
they would turn it, as they had done with
many other things pertaining to pagan
worship, to pieus uses. They thought
the young people of tbeir charge both
men and women, to choose by lot some
one of the saints, and it became the SOL
emn duty of the young people to prsc-
tice for the year the essential virtues OF
the saints that had fallen to their several
cares. The day set apart for this draw
ing was the l4th day OF February, St.
Valentines day. and this day was chosen
because 1t conceded with the time of the
Lupercalis, which was held in the mid
die OF February. In this way St. Valer-
tine was brougot TO give his name &c
customs which were quite foreign to his
character. He must certainly be much
mortified at what is annually done unnel
sanction of his name, for he was gooC
and stsid bishop who lived in the thru
century, and suffered martydom for hi
faith. The reform attempted bv tt,
church was not popular one. 1t wa
very hard for the young people to emu
late the saints. and it was very easy TO
them to love each other.

THE CANDIDATE AND HIS CAMPAIGN.


Gov. Mckinley, in his mad race for
the Presidency, presents sorry specta
Gle to the people OF Ohio. To begin
with he has disappointed everybody's
expectations. He has been one of the
most useless, If one of the most orna-
mental, governors the State ever had.
He has paid little or no attention to
business, has let q few cheap under
lings like Joe Smith, Bill Hahn and
Jimmy Boyle run the State while the
governor strutted about over the coun-
try like turkey cock, and has permit
ted scandal to run riot In State institu-
tions.
He has shown himself to be a very
weak man.
While he is rafting frantically about
the state singing the same old tariff
song, his dear friend, Chairman Dick,
has dragged the Republican party into
a sweet scented muss on the pension
business. The Republican papers are
jumping about like lot of peas on u
drum head, wondering, every time they
20 up In the air, whore they will fall
when they come down.
Some organ harps few lines on Hoke
Smith and pensions, only to have the
Cincinnati Times-Star sing out loudly,
"Rats." Then another row of organs
grind out that popular song of $4,000
majority and Major Bickham, of the
Dayton Journal, calls them "blather-
sixties" Meanwhile cheerful dis
torter of truth travels around with Nc
Kinley telegraphing all sorts of pre-
posterous lies about his big meetings TO
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

STATE ISSUES DISCUSSED.

Larry Neal paid some attention to
state issues, In his speech In Cleveland
last evening. Here are q few brief
passages that are pertinent.
"What shall be said of the state ad-
ministration of Gov. Mckinley. He
does not seem to realize that he 10 q
competitor for the governorship of
Ohio. He imagines he is trotting the
first heat in the great race for the presi-
dency of the United States.
"If should have been governor of
Ohio for twenty months and 1 had such
an administration as he has l, too,
would want to pass the subject by.
"No man ever elected governor of
Ohio has shown less executive ability
than Gov. Mckinley. In every depart
ment there has been rottenness and
thievery, from his adjutant general
down to his inspector of factories and
mills, and now in Dayton we read that
employees of the insane asylum are un-
der indictment for the murder Of the
inmates under their charge"

NEAI's speech In Alliance is worry

MEALS speech in Alliance is worry
ing the editor of the Alliance Review,
who is too much of Democrat yet, in
his convictions, to answer it. There is
no doubt that number Of Republicans
in Alliance will quietly vote for Neal.
These Republicans sincerely believe
that the Mckinley bill was largely re-
sponsible for the wreck and ruin of the
party in so many of the Western states
in 1890, 1891 and 1892. They believe in
a new alignment of the party, on a
tariff for revenue, with incidental pro-
lection, and not a tariff like the Nc
Kinley act for the benefit of trusts and
monopoly. There are quite number
of Republicans of this opinion in Can
ton, and we hear there are some fifty
in Massillon, all of whom will vote for
Neal.
We hear now the name of a promi-
nent Republican of Paris township,
who went to hear Neal in Alliance. He
confessed to a prominent Democrat,
after the meeting, that Neal was right
on the tariff, and that Mckinley could
not answer that speech. He would not
say whether he would vote for Neal or
not, "but," said he, 81 believe
Neal is right and Mckinley
wrong on the tariff" No doubt Neal
made votes for the Democratic party
by his Alliance meeting, and this Is
known ia the Review office; hence the
many agonizing walls of distress.

HIRED STREET HoWLERS,

Word comes from Columbus that the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee, under instructions from Doodle
Dick, has instructed every County Ex-
ecutive Committee in the state to hire
few glib tongued men, who can howl
cal alamity, to stand on the streets In
public places and charge the money
panic and Joss of work on the Demo
cratic party. 1t is even asserted that
Gov. Mckinley is the man who sug-
gested this plan of campaign to Chair
man Dick. The Democratic Commit
tee of Stark county are satisfied that at
least two of these hired howlers are at
it in Canton, as they are making q
steady business of it, day after day.
This does not look much like over con-
fidence, A cause that requires this
kind of despicable work must be in
desperate straits,

WILLIAM WAGNER, the Democratic
candidate for county treasurer is an
affable gentleman and a thoroughly
competent business man of sterling ins
tegrity. He will honor the Office and
the people of Stark county by a faith
full and efficient discharge of the duties
of treasurer. None can be more deserv-
ing of earnest loyal support than is
Wagner. Every Democrat will vote for
him. Such is his genial manner and 50
warm are his personal friendships that
many Republicans will cross before the
name of William Wagner. He ought to
and no doubt will be elected by highly
complimentary majority. Vote for
Wagner and the whole Democratic
ticket.-Alliance Critic.

LOCAL POET OF INDIAN RUN.

A citizen of Canton who has much
poetry in his soul, and who deLghCs IN
the traditions of primeval Gays, mas
handed us the following poetic gem,
clipped from Waynesburg journal, on
the beautiful and romantic valley OF
Indian run. This winding rivulet mas
its source In a spring, or q series OF
springs, near Osnaburg, and thence II
neanders down through the Sandy val
lev, But let us not forget the poem;
IN THE INDIAN RUN VALLEY.
Calmly elldes the Indian Run
Mid the bills OF verdure green
In Its fair and smiling valley
Richest corn-felds may be seen.
where the Indian once had sported
Chased the wolf and dear and bear
white men are now dwelling
Happy and contented there.
when the white man FIRST came hither
He ct once could begin his patient toll.
AS the forests we're not leveled
For the tllling Of the soil.
Hence It was no easy matter
To begin to work aud pillow,
For he had to grub and hoe
Much more then than now.
All along the Indian Valley
Where Christianity is being professed,
Much is left TO tell the story
OF race far in the west.
| but their liberty soon was vauqushed
As they were scattered far and wide,
But the springs they used to cherish,
still flows on to meet the tide. z. o. Z.

THANKS to @. M. Miller of Canton for
a very entertaining book, entitled the
"Revolt of the Brutes." This Is
a fantasy of the Chicago fair, by Hy-
land g. Kirk. The work is highly
humorous, and is unanimously dedicat-
ed to the human race, by request, as
usual. The first illustration is long
cared brute, that is now and always
was, kicker. Without the prestige of
a distinguished ancestry, or hope Of an
honored name in the future, he is ike
the leader of the g. o. p. in this cam
paign, a chronic kicker. Having drawn
the chariot of the unfortunate Prlsm
to the tent of Achilles, and having
caused the ambrosial Absalom to be
hung by his hair, he is the leading
character in the book.

AS the Alliance Review is the recog-

EVERY Populist should vote for Neal.
He is emphatically man of the peo-
pie and for the people. Don't throw
your vote away, as you did two years
ago. Two years ago, a whole lot or
Republicans joined the Populist party
in Stark county and helped to rope In
whole lot of Democrats. When election
day came, the Republican Populists
voted for Mckinley, and the Demo
cratic Populists voted their ticket. No
Democrat should be fooled twice with
the same trick.
