deserved. There was no masking, no at
tempt at concealment. Every person pres
ent and engaged in the work knew all the
others.

Senator Hill Deserts.

Senator Hill has deserted the free silver
camp. This is very significant in view
of his vote in Congress in favor Of free
silver Mr.. Hill declared himself at the
recent convention of democratic editors
in New York. He said that he believed
that it would be impossible for the United
States, along and unaided, to have free
coinage of silver. He therefore expressed
himself as opposed to the present move
ment Of committing the democratic party
to free silver independent of international
agreement. The senator went farther, and
said that he favored free silver coinage
at a ration of 15j5 to 1, provided an in
ternational agreement could be perfected
This declaration by Senator Hill leaves
the free silvcrites for Illinois in rather
unpleasant position. Because Hill had
voted for free coinage the silver mono-
metalists of that state presumed great
deal and flung to the breeze the Hill ban
ner for president. Now they will have to
haul it down as Mr.. Hills declaration be-
fore the New York convention is not all
satisfactory to the free silver advocates.

Statesman Ike Hill.

Ike Hill, of Newark, late of the sar-
geant-at-arms office, house of representa-
tives, Washington, has just returned to
the East after running a convention in
Licking county and is now being inter
viewed in the interests of Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson as u presidential candidate.
He says all the Ohio democrats are for
Stevenson, which will be news to citizens
of Stark county. As Hill is blatant
free silver man it begins to look as If the
reports from Stevenson, that he is also
for free silver, are true One thing is
certain. If he is for honest money and
no more silver than the government
can maintain at par he has failed to say
so. In the great turmoil which has care
fully been organized in his state for free
silver the voice of Stevenson Is not heard
on the side of honest money, in support
of his senator, John NJ. Palmer. Report
says he walks about the streets of his
town with his hands behind his back,
carefully studying the pavement, in
deep abstraction. He is evidently trying
to make up his mind whether it will be
safe to jump into the free silver camp,
openly and avowedly. But while he is
studying the silver question the people
have sized him up as follower rather
than a leader, trimmer rather than u
maker of healthy public sentiment. He
has nearly sinned away his days of grace.
If he speaks at all for a sound currency
1t must be soon or he need not speak at
all. He should now be in the thickest of
the fray with Palmer and Carlisle. In
stead he walks the streets and says-noth-
ing.

Charlie Fosters Resolution.

There was eternal fitness in the reso-
luton of the republican state conve 1tion,
read by Charles Foster which denounced
the democratic administration for borrow
ing money with which to supply the de-
pleted gold reserve. Think of Charlie
Foster, the man who ran the gold reserve
down to SlO2 900, 900 before he went out
of office and precipitated the biggest panic
this country ever saw, by his alarming
letter calling attention to the danger line
of $780, 900, 900 which the reserve had so
nearly approached when he gladly slid
out of the, responsibility for borrowing
money with which to keep it intact. He
left the job Of keeping up the credit of the
country TO the incoming administration,
which was Immediately brought face to
face with the grave question of the dis
appearing gold reserve handed over by
the Harrison administration. Mr.. Cleve-
land pursued the only course open to him,
borrowed the necessary money to make
good the reserve, and is now denounced
by Foster, the man who was responsible
as secretary Of the treasury for much of
the evil which Mr. Cleveland had to cor
rect.
Could the irony of fate farther go?

1t is sign of great promise that the
legislature of Wisconsin has appropriated
$3.50, 900 for the el eJtion of building for
the State Historical Society. 1t will be
erected at the State University Campus.
The university of Minnesota is also now
enriched to the point of receiving the in
come from about $4,000 600. These state
universities are taking on wonderful
growth, towards. free tuition for state
students while the big eastern universities
are raising their tuition and other neces-
sary expenses nearer and nearer to the
prohibitive point for young man of
moderate incomes..- = No young man need
go East now for an education unless it be
to imbibe the eastern atmosphere and sur
round himself with new associations to
be found alone in the East. This Wis
co nsin move toward an adequate home
for state historical society could be
emulated with much profit in Ohio. The
links" connecting us with our pioneer his
tory are rapidly disappearing and it would
be wise legislature that would promptly
commence the work of gatheringsall the
historical material that is available for use

This Is the universal testimony. On the
bench he was an honest and very able
Judge being reliable friend of the peo-
pie as against the encroachments of cor
porations. Witness his decision in the

ter general and secretary of the treasury
in Arthur's administration he evoked
universal applause. As Mr.. Cleveland's

such an exponent of party principles and
such splendid specimen of sterling man
hood.

Wheat has rapidly risen while silver
remains stationary while we have been
taught by certain visionary flnanoiers
that the low prices of wheat and other
staples is due to the alleged demonetiza-
tion of silver The law of supply and
demand operates on wheat as 1t operates
on every thing else. 1t is the prospect
of short crop that gives the bulls in the
stock market their opportunity. Dunn's
Review says that If wheat has been 80
greatly injured by the SHOWS and frosts in
May that the sudden rise in 12 cents in two
weeks is justified, the calamity will affect
all business prospects. The markets do
not believe 1t, for stocks do not collapse,
iron, leather, and hides still rise, and no
holders of wheat would sell at so cents.
a lower price than had been known at this
season for thirty years prior TO 1s93 If
current reports were credited. The fact Is
that relief from long anxiety, and ting
abundance and cheapness of money for
which industry and legitimate trade give
as yet no adequate demand, have excited
the speculative spirit beyond all re-
straint. The hot fever will have nothing
to do with the cold facts. The temper is
to buy, regardless of visible requirements,

to weigh less than sixteen ounces. At
the present time the bakers should give
fully twenty ounces of bread to each loaf
without increase in the price
In this connection II gives us pleasure
to call attention to an important fact and
that is that the home made bread fur
nished by the Woman's Exchange, Of
West Tuscarawas street, weighs full
three pounds to the ten cent loaf-an in
crease in favor of the consumer of 33 per
cent. There is solid substance in such n
generous loaf something to draw on for
bone and muscle and such honest weights
and good returns for the money should
be generally appreciated by the public
/, Another fact is pertinent in this con.
nection and that is the flour known as
seconds in some quarters and Straight
flour in others(not gluten) Is much more
wholesome and much sweeter than the
very white flour which has had everyth-
ing refined out of 1t except the starch.
The wholesale price of this flour is about
SO. 25 a barrel and it contains nearly all
the strength of the wheat. Some few
small mills make no other kind and other
mills make two or three grades, the cheaper
grades containing the strength of the grain.
Those who buy the refined flour pay
n large price for an inferior article.

The next United States senate will con-
sist of AZ republicans, 20 democrats and
populists,o or silverites. If Col. Dupont
the republican from Delaware, is admit
ted, the republicans will have 43 senators
in stead of AZ, not enough to give them
control. The best sentiment in the east
seems to be that Dupont, of Delaware,
will be seated on the theory that when
Gov. Marvil died and Watson was elevated
to the governors chair he there and then
vacated his seat In the senate and lost the
vote that would have prevented the repub-
licans from electing Dupont. So Addicks
and his gang held on in vain. After such
thorough prostitution of themselves
they are repaid by the universal execra-
tion of their party.

Young Allen Thurman long since
elected himself mouthpiece for the demo-
cratic party in this state. He assumes
more authority than his father ever at
tempted to exercise when he was a sena-
tor of the United States. We believe the
prevailing opinion is that the young man
lacks both sense and discretion. BY vir-
tue of a short'official connection with the
party, which happily terminated last year,
he is generally looked upon as the chair
man of the state central committee. Part
Of this credit is due to the fact that many
people take man at his own estimate
and when young Thurman, for instance,
called the honored secretary of the treas
ury liar recently it was difficult for
them to assign him to a humble position
in the ranks. The Toledo Bee is also
tired of Thurman Esassumption of author
ity, and remarks:
What's the use of parading Allen w.
Thurman all over the country as chair
man of the democratic state committee?
He was chairman of the executive or
campaign committee last fall when
ITO, 900 democrats stayed away from the
polls and voted 16 TO l ticket, but his
duties as chairman of the executive COM
mittee ended with the campaign, and the
executive head now is Chairman Smalley,
Of the state central committee.

Ex-President Harrison has the credit of

The Fornker Machine.

The growth of the Foraker machine in
Ohio Is "a curious political phenomenon.
Its like has been seen in other states, not
ably Pennsylvania but never before in
Ohio. 1t is a well-constructed, smooth
running and well-oiled contrivance and
seems to evoke the admiration of men
who prefer displays of power to displays
of ability. This following of Foraker is
composed largely of the younger men of
the party. A close analysis would prob
ably show that not over twenty-five per
cent of them are intelligent, conscien-
tious and solid men of principle. The
remainder are the sports" of the party,
those restless spirits who are in politics
for the fun and profit there is in 1t. In
this class are the gamblers, office brokers,
political aspirants and camp-followers of
every degree of sel6shness and unscrupu-
lousness. Foraker is the ideal because
he is young man, with certain amount
of dash and brilliancy about him, easily
and a thorough believer in
practical" politics.
The history Of such machines will show
that they are nearly always the adjunct
of the smaller lights Of the party, rang
ing from the third class statesmen of the
