had received from them in the years
past.

PLANNING FoR THE FAIR.

The officers of the Agricultural and
Fair Ground Societies met last Sat
urday to revise the premium list.
The schedule of premiums that the
officers decided upon will be present
ed to the executive committee of the
Agricultural society which meets in
the Board OF Trade rooms at 10
O'Clock this morning.
As the Fair Ground Company have
a debt of about $4,000 it is proposed
to reduce the amount of premiums
in all the departments OF live stock.
In many cases the third premium is
omitted and a dollar or two taken
off from the first and second premi-
ums. The officers decided to restore
the premiums for town strings of
oxen and also offer liberal premiums 5
for traiued or trick steers. The pre-
miums on grade bulls have also been
restored to the list.
1t was voted that hereafter no free
tickets should be given Floral Hall
exhibitors. Hundreds of tickets have
been given away every year, but next
year it is proposed to discontinue
this practice and greatly increase the
premiums IN Floral Hall. The com
mittee believe that the ladies had
rather have a larger premium than a
small premium and free ticket.
The final decision of the executive
committee in regard to premiums
will be printed in the next CALEDoN

GONE WRONG.
Another Republican Fleeces His
Bondsmen.

One of the features at the meeting
Of the Board of Public Works at Co
lumbus Tuesday was the removal
from Office of Herman Foltz, the Col
lector of Canal Toles at Akron. In his
stead E. E. Paine, former editor OF
the Akron Republican, was chosen
and sworn in. The summary remov-
al Of the Collector brought to the sur
face a suppressed sensation.
Foltz was appointed to the office
some six or seven weeks ago by Hon.
VIM. NJ. Hahn. His position being a
political one, he became mixed up in
the pleasures and pains Of that pur-
suit. The result was the development
of a taste for strong drink. 1t mas
tered him and he neglected his affairs.
Not long since an examination Of his
accounts showed that he was $400 be-
hind in his receipts. His Office was
taken charge of and his bondsmen
notified of the discrepancy in his ac-
counts.
At the meeting President Frank
McColloch stated that every cent
would be made good by these sureties,
who are Colonel A. L. Conger, Major
C. W. F. Dick, Chas. Perkins and
Frank Atterholt, all well-known Ak
ron men. There will probably be no
prosecution.

IN that department of the Pension
Bureau which has under its care the
work of suspending pensions, 116 of
the IA employees are Republicans. 1t
will be remembered that last fall
when unquestioned pensions were be-
ing suspended the charge was made
that these Republicans employeswere
doing this work for the effect 1t would
have on the election. Some of the
most interesting cases were suspend,
ed, while known fraudulent pensions
were untouched, and this Is true OF
this county. Congressman Enole, OF
Tennessee, on the floor of the House
the other day, made this same charge
and gave evidence enough to prove
to any honest mind that the unwar
ranted cases of suspension were made
by Republican employees of the Pen
sion Bureau for polite purposes.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

Changing the Laws.

The Tiff1n AdUertiser says propos-
ed amendment to the Constitution Of
Ohio is now under consideration of
the Judiciary committee of the House,
to change the method of raising reve-
nues for the State, county and muni-
cipal governments, which it is believ-
ed will remedy the evils ofthe present
system of taxation. The first section
abolishes the poll tax. The section
gives to the general Assembly the
power to provide revenues for the
State by levying taxes upon the fran
chises Of corporations, corporate
stocks and bonds and other intangible
property, but this property shall not
be taxed for any other perpose. Sec
tion 8, 4, and 6 provide for the cleo
tion of a County Tax Board in each
county, who shall annually submit to
the voters at an election for their ap-
proval, an ordinance declaring how
the revenue need for the county and
all the taxing districts therein shall
be raised. A majority vote is required
for its approval. If it is disapproved
then the old system of taxation will
be used 1t is in fact ''local option"
in local taxation, and with the ap-
proval of the people of the county, the
taxing board can select whatever
property it chooses for taxation. The
State will raise it's revenues from GER
tain specified sources exclusively and
which the counties cannot tax, while
the State is prohibited from taxing
property which the counties may tax.
We believe the proposed amendment
is a move in the right direction, as it
will enable the people to remedy
many of the evils that have grown up
since the present constitution was
adopted, forty years ago.

ON April 13, 1874, the Legislature
of Ohio amended the lien law in a
manner to protect manufacturers and
dealers in all classes of building ma
terials. Formerly manufacturers
and dealers were compelled to watch
their chance of getting a settlement
with the party having the building
done, in the event of the failure of
the contractor to make satisfactory
settlement, but under the new law,
the building or structure is liable to q
lien for every particle of material
that enters into its construction until
every claim is fully satisfied. This
makes it to the interest Of the party
having buildings erected to see that
the material dealers are settled with

EVER since tariffs have been tariffs;
ever since the Republican party has
been in power it has laid tariff, robber
tariffs at that, for the benefit of the
North and East, the sections in which
it found men who in return for being
made rich at the expense of the mass
es were willing to give themselves
body and mind to Republicanism. 1t
is from these same pampered sections
that the armies of the unemployed
are marching. The South is doing
nothing to promote Anarchism. She
is happy and contented. 1t is the
North, the always protected North,
that seems to be the hot-bed OF disaf-
