He is DESTROYS OF learning English. but can
not. We must suppose that during his stay
here. he has not mingled with people who
speak English. or tried to read newspapers
printed In English. or gone to theatres where
the plays are in English. or attended church
where sermons are preached In 1t. or given 1t
any serious study. II he had done these things
for two years. he would surely have been able
to speak English by this time There is no
better way for him to learn English than to do
such things. and any intelligent man who
does them will be able to use the language
within q year. The American who goes to
France. Germany, or Italy can speedily learn
the language Of any OF these countries by
living with family In which 1t alone
is spoken. and by the study OF a
newspaper OF the locality. There are
many Chinese In this city who have been
here fifteen or twenty years. and yet cannot
speak any English. for the reason that they
herd by themselves. For the same reason
but very small proportion OF the Italians who
have been here for years can speak English. A
great part OF the immigrants who come hero
from other countries OF continental Europe
never learn the language OF this country.

of them get to speak 1t within the first half year
OF their residence here At a meeting OF Jews
OF very recent immigration, an American
speaker tested their knowledge OF English.
and he was quickly convinced that they un-

shrewdest of foreigners In this respect: and
they get along better here than those foreign

The Question of a New Democratic
National Convention.

The Lockport Daily journal speaks Of the
suggestion OF The SUN that under all the
circumstances the Democrats should recon-
vene their National Convention Of 1892 and
explain the tariff plank then adopted"
Our esteemed contemporary is mistaken.
THE SUN has made no suggestion Of that
sort. The tariff plank adopted in 1892 re-
quires no explanation. Its meaning is as
clear and apparent as the MONDAY sun
, shining In an unclouded sky.
:" Wedeclare it to be a fundamental principle
ofthe Democratic party that the Federal Co..
and collect tdriT duties. e.rcept for the purpose
of revenue only"
That declaration needs no explanation.
no Interpretation, no exegesis. A years
work on its phraseology by all the most
eminent philologists and all the most ac-
complished masters Of English prose would
not improve 1t. The man who cannot un-
derstand it as 1t stands. must be fool.
So it seems to US.
What The Sun really said is that it will
require majority vote Of a National DEM
ocratic Convention. fully representing the
party in every State and Territory. and
formally convened according to the party's
usages. to revoke or repeal or repudiate
the principle laid down above as funda-
article Of the Democracy's faith.
It cannot>he rescinded by any individual
Democrat. whether he be President OF the
United States ortha editor Of Democratic
newspaper. It cannd. be set aside by any
Individual or individuals on the plea Of
political convenience. It stands go
thoritative profession Of political faith and
a promise to the country. and it can be
Withdrawn only by the same representative
body that declared 1t.
The SUN has not even expressed the opin-
ion that it is desirable that the national
council OF the Democracy should be assem-
bled for that purpose. But we insist. in all
seriousness and sincerity, that the respon-
sibility deliberately assumed by the Demo-
cratic party at Chicago last summer cannot
be repudiated or avoided. with honor. by
any other course than the calling of an
other Convention. and the formal with
drawal Of the most important. uncom-
promisable. and far-reaching OF all recent
political declarations.

Council Meeting.

Council met Monday night and all
members were present ready to transact
any business of importance which might
come up. The only thing which made
the meeting devoid OF interest was the
fact that the important business failed
to put in an appearance.
Some months ago the Street Commis.
sioner was instructed by resolution to
keep the streets and pavements clear OF
distractions, the object being to prevent
the piling of boxes and barrels on the
sidewalks. It has been found that the
resolution doesn't amount to much, be.
cause the Street Commissioner has nc
means of enforcing people to comply
with his orders. On motion of Mr.
Smith the task of enforcing the resolu.
ton was transferred to the Marshal and
violators of the ordinance will now have
to remove Instructions when ordered tc
or be subject to arrest.
Mr.. Erwin was authorized to rent a lot
on East Walnut street, belonging te
E. V. Overman, to be used as pound.
After lengthy discussion Of tht
villages Indebtedness and the bes
means of relieving it, Council adjourned
until Thursday night. The meeting wa,
set for that date so that if the wate
works bill should be passed in the legis
lature by that time, there would be tim'
enough to call special election for tn,
same date as the regular election, Apri
3rd.

PERFECTLY SAFE.
The Public School Buildings FonAd to
Be All Right.

Every once in while for years there.
portthat the Walnut street Public School
building was unsafe, has sprung from
mysterious source and been exaggerated
with every telling until the hearer could
readily believe that the building was
liable to fall at any moment. Since the
Main street building has been occupied
the reports have extended to it and the
alleged dangerous condition of both has
occasioned great deal of talk.
The School Boards certificate for the
two buildings expired short time ago,
and, before issuing new one, Mayor
Davis determined upon an examination
of the buildings. The examination was
made by the Mayor, City Engineer
Massie and Engineer Doner, of the Fire
Department. They were satisfied, that
the building were all right, but the
Mayor, fearing that there might be some
question about the qualifications of the
committee for such an inspection, sent
for Mr.. T. 7. Yeager, the Inspector for
the 11th district.
Mr.. Yeager made his inspection last
week and his report shows that there is
no foundation for the stories. The Main
street building, he says, might have been
unsafe before the Board repaired it but
is now perfectly safe, and the Walnut
street building is in equally as good re.
pair. The inside walls of the latter are
in remarkably good condition, and, even
if two of the outside walls should fall,
which is improbable, would bear the
weight and prevent injury to anyone in
the building. The report is so conclus-
i've that it should put stop to any more
rumors, but to avoid any possible danger
and to allay any fears that may still ex.
ist, the School Board will soon have ad.
ditional braces put in the outside walls
of the Walnut street building.
The means for escape in case of fire,
Mr.. Yeager says, are sufficient and there
is no necessity for anything additional.

Farmers Institute Organized.

A number of representative farmers
met last Saturday morning in the Com
missioners Office in answer to the call
for meeting for the purpose of organ.
izinga a Farmers Institute.
John w. Mckinney was chosen tenn
porary chairman of the meeting and
Thos. b. Nelson temporary secretary, and
the meeting at once proceeded to effect
a permanent organization. The follow.
ing officers were chosen: President,
Thos. H. Nelson; Vice. President, John
d. VanWinkle; Secretary, Evan Good
Treasurer, John w. Mckinney. The
Executive Committee will be composed
of the President, Secretary and the fol-
lowing elected members: G. w. Carr,
W. s. Wright and Ewing Newby.
The Executive Committee was directed
to prepare constitution and bylaws
for the Institute, and they will be pre-
sented at the next meeting, which was
set for Saturday, April 18th, at 10 o'clock
a. m.
There is no reason why strong and
and effective organization of the kind
should not be built up here, and every
reason why there should, and it is
hoped that healthy interest will be
aroused and large attendance be secured
for the next meeting.

Death Of Miss Fannie link.

The sad news was received here last
Wednesday afternoon OF the death at
Chicago of Miss Fannie link from the
effects of an operation for the removal
of tumor. The operation was per-
Termed there the preceding Sunday, and
the most encouraging intelligence of the
patients condition was received by her
friends and relatives here on Monday
and Tuesday. The favorable indications
continued until Wednesday morning,
and were so strong that recovery was
hoped for, but almost noon Of that day
the reaction, which the physicians
feared, set in and death ensued in few
hours.
The remains were brought here, arriv.
ing on Friday morning, and the funeral
was held on Sunday afternoon from the
Methodist Church, Rev. Jas. Murray
conducting the services.
Miss link was 3s years of age at the
time of her death, and until few weeks
ago, when she went to Chicago on a
visit to her sister, Mrs. Laverscomb, had
made her home with the family OF her
brother in law, Mr.. J. B. Rowe. Upon
them the news of her sad death came
with crushing weight, as she was the
third one Of the family to be called

The Democratic Primaries.

The Dahocrats of this township held
primary election at some unknown
place last Saturday and nominated full
township ticket.
Diligent inquiry for three days failed
to reveal the place where the convention
was held and there was 80 little interest
that good deal of skirmishing was found
necessary in order to discover it's result.
W. L. Morrow was declared the choice
of the convention for Justice Of the
Peace and was accordingly nominated.
He is not fattered as much as the
convention thought he would be and
has since announced his intention of re-
fusing the nomination. Albert Matthews
was nominated for Treasurer, John
Swisshelm for Trustee, and Messrs. w.
H. Boyle and ]. N. Hogsett for Assessors
in the North and South Precincts.
The Corporation and School District
Conventions were held Monday night
Ell. Hough, Mart Cravens, Judge Lilley,
Henry Virgins and Branson Worley
composed the large and enthusiastic
convention, which placed Ezra Taylor
Marion Inskeep and Jacob Groves in
nomination for Council. The conv en-
ton was subsequently augmented by
w. L. Morrow, Col, @. T. Pope and Peter
Brown and the entire crowd bent theil
energies toward the nomination of Col
o. S, Price for Member of the Schoo
Board. There are three members of thii
board to elect, but the convention could
not find any one else worthy to be put
on the same ticket with Mr.. Price and
adjourned without making any further
| nominations.

Dan Flock, the veteran horse buyer,
died at his home in Cincinnati last Fri
day evening at o'clock, after an illness
which lasted several weeks. He has
been a sufferer from Brights' disease for
a number of years and this, together
with heart trouble, caused his death.
For twenty-five years Dan Flock has
been regular visitor to Hillsboro as
buyer ofhorses and his name isfamiliar
all over the county. He helped perhaps
more than any other one man in making
Hillsboro known as horse market, and
will be greatly missed at the stock sales,
at which he was present until the last
two months. Mr.. Flock was in his fifty
fourth year at the time of his death. The
funeral took place Sunday afternoon
from his residence on John street, Gin
cinnati.
