The fact that the Belmont Morgan
syndicate recently turned two millions of
gold into the United States treasury, TAX
Ing In exchange therefor greenbacks, has
been generally accepted in the financial
world as a significant piece of news This
pay-in brought the gold reserve again
above s107, 900, 900, and indicated two
things: /. That the syndicate recognized
a moral as well as legal responsibility
and desires to keep the reserve so far
above the danger line as TO prevent any
possible danger; and 2, that the recent
shipments of gold TO Europe were attract
ing attention and causing comment.
The fact that Secretary Carlisle is off on
a tour of the lakes for a summer vacation
shows the state of his mind as to the abil-
ity of the syndicate to preserve our pres
ent very healthy business boom from any
setback due to a depleted gold reserve.

The new industrial census of Berlin
gives the German capital population of
1,616, 1881. AS It's population in 1871 was
S25, 32f, twenty-four years have been re-
quired for this doubling. In 1870 Chi
cago's population was but 29s, ,977, and it
is now about 1000, O00-the elapsed time
being twenty-five years Probably two or
thee hundred thousand of this population
can be credited to the Worlds Fair, and as
much more by the annexation of terri
tory. But granting this the difference in
the growth of the two representative
cities is very remarkable. While Berlin
was doubling once, Chicago has doubled
twice. and has 400, 600 to spare.
In this connection it win be interesting
to note how New York has carried herself
in the matter of population. Here is the

THE BALLOON SLEEVE MUST GO.
Harpers Weekly

Much interest attaches to the rumor which
comes from London that the princess of Wales
and her daughters have been lately seen in
public in gowns with small sleeves and mar
row skirts. This bit of intelligence does not
necessarily clinch the COON OF the balloon
sleeves and the letter skirts, but it will tend
to make prudent investors wary of locking up
much capital in those varieties OF course the
balloon sleeves must go presently. When
fashionable mothers began to put them ON
little boys legged night-gowns it became
apparent that the taste for them had come ito
be an extravaganza and could not last. But
1t will be shock to miss them. Doubtless
we will find our friends much changed when
we get down to their real selves again. Some
who have grown stout won't shrink as much
as we expect and others who wore away in
the hard times perhaps will shrink much
more, But let us have the facts at any cost,
especially as there must be material enough in
the present sleeves and skirts to cut over into
anything conceivable, and have enough left
over to clothe child.

allowed by the commissioners or paid on
certificates of other officers.
To be Ineligible, and not require too
much space to print, the report should be
classified statement of all expenditures.
The total amounts paid out, to whom and
for what purpose, would, in our opinion,
meet the requirements of law.
In the last annual report, the salaries
paid the commissioners is stated In gross,
so of the inflrmary directors and county
officers 1t would have taken little more
space to have specified the officers to
whom these salaries were paid and the
amount paid to each. Few who have not
looked into the matter would know what
officers are entitled to receive salaries
from the county; and It would certainly
have been of interest to know who they
were and what they received.
For the reason stated, we do not think
the annual report of the commissioners,
as heretofore published, are such as the
law contemplates.
The committee are also of the opinion
that much money is levied and allowed
to lie long in different funds before 1t is
needed. Thus although the Childrens'
Home bonds are small in amount, the
fund has $50, 257 to its credit; and that
although there are no bridge bonds due
for several years, yet the fund contains
SO, 907 At the same time the county
fund is overdrawn $50, 1929. Under this
h cad the committee point out the neces.
sity for a much sharper supervision of the
heavy expenses paid out of the county
fund, and also show that there. should
also be a marked reduction of expenses
under township, school and municipal
officers

are mentioned for two of the highest hon
ors within the gift of the electors of this
state, and both are from the same county,
Butler 1t is quite unusual, and we re-
call no parallel in Ohio politics The
combination suggested by the Enquirer is
strong one; very strong. James e.
Campbell and Paul J. Sorg would make
a running team that would fire the dem
ocracy of Ohio as it has not been fired in
several years. Both men stand high in
the estimation Of the people generally,
and they would draw votes from many
sources. If the democracy can effect such
q ombination--victpry is ours.

100, IN unicipal census

Commencing with 1900 it will be
noticed that New York's population had
little more than doubled by 1890. lin
the next twenty years it doubled again
and had 65,312 to spare lowing to the
large increase in population that followed
the opening of the Erie canaD. In the
next twenty years. terminating in 1860,
we have another doubling with 1S0, 23s to
spare. In the twenty years between 1850
and 1880, however, this rapid advance is
checked for the first time, and there is a
shortage of about 400, 900 under the total
which the advance of the preceding
twenty years would have yielded. This
was probably caused by the diffusion of a
considerable part of the population over a
large suburban area, owing to the devel-
opment Of rapid transit. Therefore we
think 1t safe statement to make that
New York has more than doubled her
population every twenty years since 1S0O
If Canton does this well, we will have
in twenty years from now, population
of about 1000; in 1885, 128, 900, and In
1866, sixty years from now, less than the
three-score and ten of the Bible, popu-
lation of $685. 900. Inasmuch as we had
but 8, $50 twenty-five years ago. and have
since nearly doubled twice, 1t would
seem that our real rate of increase lis a
double once in about fourteen or fifteen
years. At this rate, in sixty years, figur-
ing our present population at 80, 900,
there would be 4s0, 900 people in Canton.

Hoodlem Treatment of the Salvation
Army.

We have noted recently two Salvation
Army items that should be read in con-
junction with each other. One Is that as
q consequence of Mrs. Booths work at
Vassar college, fifteen of the female stu
dents there have Joined the Salvation
Army. When the high standing of Vas
sar is considered, this acquisition to the
ranks of the Salvationists will be mat
ter of astonishment to good many peo-
pie. The other item is that Captain
Blanche Cox has been sentenced to thirty
days in Jail, at Colorado Springs, on q
charge Of disturbing the peace, in connec-
tion with the holding of open air meet
ings. The Denver Times very properly
says: Captain Cox's imprisonment is
an act that is a disgrace to Colorado
Springs and the whole state. Her SEN
tence is an insult to the cause of Chris
tianity and piece of persecution that
men and women of all classes will Bit
terly resent In the name of right and
Justice, her release is demanded" Col
orado Springs is pretty far West, but the
idea will finally reach there that they
want all the Salvation Army they can

already under foot to have the obnoxious
provision repealed by submitting to q
vote of the people an amendment provid-
ing for the old status. Pending the
adoption of such an amendment there Is
a proposition to employ the prisoners as
soldiers, road makers and bridge builders
of state bridges, although the last sugges-
tion woud call for new equipment of
state machinery.

eral counsel Of the B. & o. railroad, for
merly Of Mansfield, and now member Of
congress. But the senator quietly broke
the combination by resuming friendly re-
lations with Rasin and at the state con-
yention was again in absolute control. If
the move to break the Quay machine in
Pennsylvania is no more successful than
this, the people will come TO the oonolu-
sion that political machine is very hard
indeed to upset.

1t was thought for several weeks that

Is the sheriff of Stark county dead, or
Is he hunting ducks or on an extended
fishing outingS-Alliance Critic.
The above question is very pertinent
and natural. and is the outcome of the
cooking mains that occur SO frequently in
this county. 1t Is mighty strange
thing that Stark county, with SO many
officials has to endure the odium of being
advertised as resort for chicken fighting.
The practice Is cruel, odious and disgrace
full; besides, 1t is unlawful, and If our
officers were doing their duty, such affairs
would be exceedingly unpopular.

CURRENT COMMENTS.
BRICE AND THE PRESIDENCY,
INnu Xnrlr Gnn

Ridiculous as it may appear to western
people, here in New York they insist that
Senator Brice is candidate for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination. His Wall
street friends say he has been big winner in
the stock market during the last eighteen
months, and that he has couple of millions
to spare for the campaign fund II he should
chance to get the nomination. In New York,
where nearly everything is measured by the
dollar mark, they are unable to understand
why Mr.. Brice should not make an acceptable
candidate to the people of the west.

The Salvation Army invaded the Jail
this morning and conducted services
therein. AS Otis Savage was the only
person in the jail, he received enough
for a whole hall full of sinners. We
have the utmost respect for religion, but
must confess that the spectacular variety
of it does not increase our veneration.
If that was part of Savage's sentence, it
is all right, but If not he ought to be
allowed a rebate.
From parties who visited the locks
yesterday we learn that the work there
Is being pushed very fast, and any one
who has kept any watch of the progress
of the work is convinced that if the con-
tractors are not hampered in any way,
that boats will pass through the canal
before Christmas, and if the high water
is not of long duration, probably in
November. The gates are being put in
place, and large force of men are em-
ployed at that work.

ground. Then one of the teams got
frightened and run away, and that scared
the other teams and soon all three of
them were flying over the field. After
considerable damage was done the teams
were caught and the plowing was pro-
ceeded with. The squirrel was killed.

Death OF L. Newman.

This morning Mr.. L. Newman, who
usually goes down to his store at quite
an early hour, on account of having a
bakery connected herewith, failed to
make his appearance as usual, and a
messenger was sent to the house for
him. The door of the bedroom was
locked, and getting no response to their
repeated calls, his family became
alarmed and City Marshal Blakeney
gained entrance to the room through the
window. Mr.. Newman was found in
bed in an unconscious condition. DIR.
Logan was called in, and did everything
possible for the stricken man, but with
out avail, and at IL O'Clock, without
having regained consciousness, his spirit
passed away.
Mr.. Newman was an old resident of
The Dalles, having come here in 1859 or
1860, and has been in business almost
continuously since that time. Mr.. New
man was a remarkably well-informed
man, and the writer calls to mind many
a pleasant and instructive conversation
had with him, especially concerning his
experience as a merchant in Russia and
Siberia. He was known by nearly every
resident of Wasco county, and he COM
manded the respect and earned the es-
TEEN of all who knew him. He was
member of Temple lodge, A. o. o. W.,
of this city, and one of the Oldest mem
bers of the lodge.
Mr.. Newman was about 65 years of
age, and the cause of his death was apo
plexy. Besides his bereaved wife, he
leaves two sons and two daughters to
mourn his loss.
The funeral Will take place Sunday.

was ascending the STAIRS TO the telephone
exchange, he suddenly heard an explosion
and saw sparks ny out or the doors and

He fastened forward and found that the

that smoke was issuing from behind the
keyboard. He FASTENED there and found
quite a large blaze springing up, but this
he eXtngushed without much difficulty
He then looked around to find out what
had caused the explosion and found that
the lightning had entered over one of the
lines of the new metallic circuit and had
blown out the induction coil and he found
that the two fuses had been burned out
also. The lightning was only noticeable
