PHELPS RESIGNS
And There is Talk of Him Coming to
Canton

To Serve in Place of the Renegade
Democrat Who Holds Forth at the
Record Office.
Wallace H. Phelps has resigned the edi.
torial chair at the Alliance Review office,
and the directors have accepted it with
regret.
Wilbur NJ. Holtz, son of the Rev. DIR.
Holtz, boy, has applied for the position,
but his age is against him. An outside
man is being considered.
Where Mr.. Phelps Is going is profound
secret but the news uf his retirement re-
wives the story that he is to edit the junior
republican oragn in Canton The read RS
Of the paper, it is said, are becoming tired
OF reading the sourrilous outpouring from
a renegade democrat.
1t was the conception Of leading local
republicans, in case Mr. Phelps had been
nominated for state senator, to identify
him with the Record, and to this Mr..
Phelps was agreed. Local republican
politicians wink knowingly when this

General Bushnell and J. B. Foraker
met with the republican committee
Thursday afternoon. They shook hands
with every member of the committee
present, but those in position to know,
decline to say how much money was
dumped into Stark county. The barrel
is now on tap, and those who have not yet
received their share can get the same by
calling upon Chairman Thomas.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
There May be Lots of it if the Mining
Strike is Not Soon
Settled,

The Massillon operators are making no
effort to break the district strike Both
miners and operators are awaiting the
result of the joint meeting of committees
representing each, which will be held in
Columbus in the near future. If a s.
cont rate is decided upon for Ohio the
local operators firmly believe that their
miners will give up their demand for go
cents, and resume work. If they do not,
the mines will remain idle all winter.
The majority Of the men cannot afford to
remain idle long, not having fully recov-
cred from the effects of the local strike.

bushels of flax, all that was issued,
This county is charged with 1900
bushels of oats and 1887 bushels of
corn, valued at $5,596.9O.
The Capital says, speaking with
seeming authority: "There was but
one complaint of any magnitude, and
it will be settled in court. DR.. L. A.
Golden, Of Smith Centre, sold the
commissioners 1890 bushels Of corn
which was not as represented and
was not good corn for seed. The
corn was sent to the commissioners of
Phillips county, and unless DR.. Col
den makes some adjustment of the
matter the commissioners of that
county have decided to go to court to
recover the amount of money with
which the corn was purchased"
The commissioners of this county
have not decided to go to law with
DR.. Golden, but expect that the rail-
way commissioners, who purchased
the corn, will do SO. This county has
no contract with DIR. Golden, and ex-
poets that Mr.. Lowe will try to pro-
tect it from loss. If he fails to do 80
it will look very much as though we

Hon. DAVID Martin, lately appoint
ed Chief Justice Of the state, in de-
bate with L. Il. Post at Atchicon last
Tuesday, opened by going back to
the time of Abraham. reviewing his
nomadic life and his first purchase OF
land upon which to bury his wife,
Sara, making the payment in silver,
tracing the use of silver down to the
present time. He discussed freely
and systematically the ratio Of silver
In all the leading nations OF the world
saying, when speaking of demonetiz-
alton IN 1873, publicity Of motive is
often fatal to the movement. He said
that England and other European
nations did not consult the United
Suites when they wanted to regulate
their medium of exchange, and why
should we, then, not be able to go to
war or regulate the ratio of silver
and gold without the aid Of an Eng
lish syndicate Of foreigners, and a
Rothschild among them. Further he
said that ratio cuts no figure after
money leaves its nation because then
weight governs; the stamp OF the
mint does not count when it goes
abroad; it is then only gold bullion, a
gold commodity. He said the pres
ent state of affairs was not brought
about by any act Of congress, but by
administrative abuse of authority.
Judge Martin said: France pays
in silver and gold, maintaining the
parity at 15b to l, with $SOO,OOO,OOO
of gold and $700,0OO,OOO Of silver
coined. Honest money is the money
of the contract, honest payment is the
payment according to the terms Of
the contract. International agree
ment," he SAID, would come when
we had international Kings and inter
national flags and then would come
the millennium. All we ask is the
restoration of silver; it is the mono
metalists who are revolutionists Sill
YER is good as gold, and when it is
cast out the debt-paying power of the
people is cut IN two. The money
good enough for labor is good enough
for the Rothschilds."
