WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., August a. 1894.
Chairman Wilson, before leaving Washington,
took occasion to express his opinion freely con-
cerning the effect of President Clevelands letter
10 Repres entative Catchings upon the Congress
sional campaign. Mr.. Wilson endorses every
word said in that letter; also. the action of the
President Cleveland in allowing the tariff bill
70 become law without his signature, and be-
Ieves that the letter will be of much service in
preventing lukewarmness of tariff reformers to-
wards Democratic candidates. Mr.Wilson also
disnosed most effectually OF the Republican ar
pument that the promise of additional tariff re-
form in the future, which the President made in
his letter. meant another general tariff bill and
its consequent upsetting of business. Concern
ing this far-fetched argument he said: The
work of tariff reform will be continued by easy
graduations and by special reductions from time
TO time, until we have accomplished our pur-
nose. There will be no other general tariff bill.
The tariff rates will remain stable on the great
majority OF articles, and it will be upon COM
paratively few thatsthe perfecting OF details will
he necessary in order that the tariff reform law
rlaced on the statute books shall be consistent
whole. This work will be performed, however.
in such a manner as to neither disturb the busi-
ness conditions of the country nor to affect
either the employer or the employed" Mr..
Wilson is confident of his reelection, no matter
who the Republicans may run against him.

STRONGLY believes that sugar should have been
made free so as to down the sugar trust, said OF

es to go at the thing right this time: He leads
ont in an attack against the trusts which occupy
the most strongly intrenched position in the
center of the protection line. When once we
carry the center of the line and rout the trusts.
the rest of the fight will be easy enough, and we
will get free raw material and everything else
we want. without any difficulty"
AS a rule, all Democrats who really believe
in tariff reform, and there are few, very few.
who do not-strongly commend President Cleve-
lands letter to Mr.. Catchings, and predict that
II will do more to keep the Democrats in con-
troll of the House than any one document that
will be a factor in the campaign.
President Cleveland does not intend to return
TO Washington until October, unless something
of great Importance, now unforeseen, shall make
= nscessary for him to do so. In the meantime
no public business will be neglected, as he has
arranged to have all matters requiring his Off
cal attention forwarded to Gray Gables, where

About 900 marbles have been turned out
at the Mishler Works, thus far, and the best
of it is that they are fully up to and even
beyond the average roundness of the stan
dard makes. There are many points of su-
periority in this machine over any known in
the world, but its great advantages are its
speed of operation and the superior shape
of the marbles it turns out. About $500, ,0OO
worth of marbles are sold annually in this
country, of which all but $40, 900 or $4,000
worth are imported, the balance being man.
ufactured in Akron. which at present enjoys
the distinction of having the only marble
factory in the western world.
Mr.. Mishler has not yet decided where he
will locate his plant, provided he does moi
dispose of his patent One thing is certain
the people of Ravenna must not allow the
enterprise to go out of town. If his patent
should be for sale, or if he should desire a
stock company to be formed, Ravenna capi
tai should step promptly to the front with
the necessary means to develop what prom
ises to be good industry. Mr.. Mishler says
that even now. at this stage of the "experi
ment, "a business could be speedily built w
giving employment to at least fifty hands
He expects to still further improve the shape
OF the marbles, and then we shall refer tt
this subject again.

The Township Trustees were in session
Monday. They allowed the following sheep
claims J.. H. Willard, $21.25, VIM. Lud-
wick $1O H. NJ. Finch $40.
In the spring of 1892 a contract was made
with c. III. Sweet, of Kent, to grade ''Myers
hill, " in the northwest part of the township,
for which he was to receive S435. He soon
found that he had an elephant of Jumbo
proportions on his hands, but his contract
held him, and he has just completed the
work, at a loss to himself of several hundred
dollars. 1t was most unfortunate contract
for him, and we do not believe there is a tax
payer mean enough to rejoice over the "good
luck" of the township in getting its work
doue at the sacrifice of individual interests.
However, no one, we suppose, was to blame
but himself, and he therefore has no one but
himself to blame, but that does not prevent
sympathy over such disastrous outcome.
The semi-annual settlement with the Co.
Infrmary Directors was had, by which the
funds of the township were replenished by
$421.25, the amount expended for its poor
of time it cost Franklin township for the same
purposes about $50. S. w. Burt, who is a
member of the Infrmary Board, is also a
Trustee of Franklin township, having the
care of its poor assigned to him. His policy
is one of decided "retrenchment." From all
reports it would have to be a desperate case
of destitution that would receive aid from the
county through his hands. But be that as it
may, it appears to us that it is hardly right
for A citizen to OccuDv two offices whereby he
is called upon in one capacity to pass upon
the fairness and validity of his own acts in
the discharge of the duties of his subordinate
position
Ditch Journal and Township Record
book were ordered to be purchased.
A contract was let to Robert Sapp and 9TH
ers to gravel the Main road from the Black
Horse corners east to the Corporation line,
for which they are to receive 40 cents per
yard.

Pumping was commenced at the Crystal
lake well last Friday, and the flow was at the
rate of $4,000 gallons per day. Subsequent
pumpings have demonstrated that the well
is capable of yielding about $4,000 gallons
daily. 1t requires 100000 gallons to supply
the daily consumption by the town. The
water is said to be very little if any harder
than that of Muzzy lake. This being true,
all apprehension vanishes with reference to
the water of Crystal lake being rendered
unfit for laundry purposes by the establish
ment of system of wells. The Trustees
EXPRESS themselves assured of an abundant
supply of pure soft water from the wells
purposed to be drilled, and say that in all
probability Muzzy lake will have been aban-
doned as a source of supply for the season
of 1895. In the meantime they will investi-
gate the different pumping apparatus and
know exactly what is best to be done before
rushing ahead to the completion of the pro-
iect
