much assistance from the inability Of the
French to stand the climate.
While the French hope to see brighter
skies when they reach the high land of
the interior we very much doubt II their
prospective conquest will be in the inter-
ests Of civilization. The Hovas-the con-
trolling tribo--are too far advanced now in
agriculture and the arts to need much as
sistance from nation with such loose
morals as are entertained by the French,
and, as Sir Charles Dixie pointed out last
winter it is great pity that the expert
ment of q self-directed civilization, such
as the Hoyas show, should not be allowed
plenty of leeway for further development

The republican press has assumed the
task of advising Congressman Sorg not to
be candidate for any office. So far as
we know Mr.. Sorg is not an active can
didate; and he never has been; his party
on two occasions recommended him and
like a true democrat he needed the call,
went in to win--and he did win. If the
democracy Of Ohio call on Mr.. Sorg it is
to be hoped that he will not refuse. The
republican press fears him as candidate,
hence their oopious advice.

nently that the name of Hayes was not an

they were nominated just the same as
though they had been ever so persistent
in pushing their candidacy.
But we are down to the Foraker size of
statesmen now.

A Superb Ticket.

The democratic party of Stark county
never did better days work than that
performed ut the county convention in
placing in nomination the ticket mt the
head of this column. The nominations
are credit not only to the democratic
party but to the people at large. The
gentlemen who compose the ticket are in
every way qualified and competent and
have the confidence of the taxpayers. IL
is superb ticket, one that calls forth ad-
miration on every hand. There was not
a man named against whom one single
word can be said. All are clean, honest
ana capable men. Parts of the ticket are
not new to voters of Stark county on pre-
vious occasions their names have aroused
enthusiasm and that they still are popu-
lar was fully demonstra ell at the conven-
tion.
The democratic party can well be proud
Of its work. Such ticket commands at
tention and respect from all sides. The
democratic party of Stark county is now
in condition to achieve a grand victory.
The entire ticket must be elected and 1t
will be, for every democrat will put his
shoulder to the wheel and give his aid.

Tom Mast and Harper's Weekly,

Tom Nast's cartoons, directed as of old
against the political bosses of New York
and the country, are beginning to appear
in the New York Herald, which is one of
the few daily papers of the country that
maintains a standard as to paper and press
work required for the successful produc-
ton of a cartoon. 1t has always been
mystery to us why the house of Harper
& Brothers employs third rate cartoon
ist like Rogers, whose work Is dull and
spiritless, when such mastcr-spirit as
Tom Mast Is still in the land of the liv.
ing. The Weekly Is admirably adapted
to Mast and Mast to the Weekly and 1t Is
u thousand pities that some dispute be-
tween the principals, that could probably
be easily adjusted, is allowed to deprive
the country of the eminent services that
Mast could render. In it's last issue the
Weekly produces one of these pictures
from the Herald. 1t Is directed against
Tom Platt, the odious republican boss Of
New York 1t is quite in the old vein and
recalls the smashing blows Mast gave fol
good government in the days of the
Tweed ring 1t looks as If the Weekly
could afford to use the cartoons mt first
hands If it allows itself to copy them.
Here's to long life for Tom Mast, the only
real cartoonist this country ever de-
veloped.

I'm, which would Iluctuale according
to the demands Of trade. Gold brrg
tae international standard, would still
be the measure of values in all things
except the payment OF debts, and
values would fluctuate with the price
of gold, just as they did during the
war and in the years succeeding. We
need stable measure OF values in
order to put business on sure basis.
Besides, where should we get the
gold to be put into these coins? If it
be answered that there would be no
other coins into which it could be put,
still all experience shows that gold is
not coined at all SO long as it yields a
profit as bullion. All the existing gold
coin and bullion would be exported
unless it was as valuable here az abroad.
AS gold would inevitably command a

The Composite Dollar.

The Detroit 7ribune's proposition to
coin dollar of gold and silver com
bined is not new except, perhaps, in itt
specifications. Among the earliest
coins Of which we have any knowledge
were those of electrum, which was b
mixture of three parts OF gold to one
of silver.
The Tribune's proposition is to take
half of silver dollar and half of gold
dollar and make coin, or, as it states
1t, 2061a grains of silver and twelve
and nine-tenths grains of gold. Il
THINKS this would make q stable
standard of value, as it assumes that
the gold would appreciate as the silver
deprecated, and vice versa. If we
admit this very doubtful hypothesis to

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND declines
to get excited because England is
engaged in giving Nicaragua a
metaphorical spanking, and there
is great howl from his enemies,
who accuse him of abandoning the
Monroe doctrine II the Monroe
doctrine means that the United
States shall fight, or threaten to
fight, every European country
which those cockey little South and
Central American Republicans by
their hot headed acts get into
trouble with, it ought to be
abandoned. AS a matter of fact
no administration has ever put any
such construction upon the Monroe
doctrine. While England's demand
upon Nicaragua may be extortion-
ate there is no doubt hat it was
provoked by Nicaragua, which had
somehow got the idea that the
United States would interfere in
its behalf before the worst came to
the worst. England is doing pre-
cisely what the United States would
do under similar circumstances

injury to her subjects although
this country would probably have

not have his way, and an appro-

usual-Was made Tor that purpose.
1t is not certain, however, that
Secretary Morton will spend that
appropriation. The appropriation
act says the money is appropriated
for the purchase, propagation and
distribution of seeds Gas required
by law" The quoted clause is
what Secretary Morton believes is
a bar to spending the money, as
the law expressly and distinctly
limits the purchase and distribution
of seeds to "such as are rare and
uncommon in this country" and it
is customary to buy only few of
these for use at the department
experimental stations.
