Seventy years ago the state Of New

state, that is the people Of that state,
built canal from Albanyto Buffalo, the
Lake Erie canal. 1t is nearly 400 miles
In length and was built by the state at
a cost Of SIS, 900 per mile. The state Of
New York, that is the government, that
is the people of New York, have owned
it ever since. The people are proud Of
it and would never consent that it
should be owned and controlled by a
corporation. 1t has been paid for years

Augusta Frauds BY An Eye with ess


Peoples Party Paper: / was in
Augusta on the I'd of October and saw
some OF the damnable work that was
done by Mr.. Blacks friends to defeat
Mr.. Watson. The twenty-one-year-old
negroes were divided into squads with a
couple or more "heelers" in charge who
would vote the scions Of Democracy In
one ward, and then take them to an
other, vote them under another name;
then move on to the next ward and con-
tinue the work indefinitely. For fear
a mistake would be made, young Demo-
Gratis stood near the polls with polling
lists and the heeler would approach
with his man; be given name and vote
him. The gang Of twenty-one-year-old
negroes, instead of leaving the polls
would squat around and wait for the
squad to be moved to the next ward.
Electric cars were used to transport
heelers and their men from ward to
ward. When voting Jagged at any pre-
cinct, some good Democrat would bring
word that so and so must report i'm
mediately at the First, Second or such
ward as was tagging. While the regis
tration list was adhered to, any man
with half brain could see that few
ignorant negroes were used to poll Mr..
Blacks majority. l advise that Mr..
Watson contest the election and do so
as vigorously as possible. Sincerely,

QUESTION OF LANpLoRpIsM.
The Land Question L an Important
One.

One
Lord Scully, who owns 100000 acres
Of Illinois land, a whole county in KAN
sas, besides other large tracts in Kansas
and Nebraska $4,000 acres In Nuckols
county and 10000 in Gage), has decided
to become citizen Of this country and
will settle in New York city. He does
this because of the tendency in sew
eral states where Populists are num-
erous) to deal with alien landlords. He
will thus, through citizenship, retain
his lOrdly tribute and secure protection.
If rent to foreigners, tribute to an alien
power, is bad thing, a dangerous
thing, which might lead gradually to
complete subsection to foreign owner
ship Of the whole country, what better
is 1t to support landlords at home?
That is what 50 per cent of our own
people are now doing. Fifty-two per
cent of our people are renters, accord
ing to the census Of 1890, and no doubt
tens Of thousands Of families have lost
their homes through mortgage fore
closures since then.
If rent is all right, good thing,
Scully, the rack renter, is all right, Ire
land is all right, and America under the
present and increasing tribute to land
lords is and will be all right.
Scully never did a days work in
America He bought his Illinois land
at $1.25 per acre and paid for much Of
1t in soldiers land warrants, so that it
cost him not to exceed so and rs cents
an acre. Without putting on any i'm
provements he has rented 1t for an In
creasing sum and now gets So to $4 an
acre in excess Of taxes. Renters build
their own novels and live like dogs In
kennels, In Nebraska and Kansas the
same general plan is pursued. He
bought his land Of the government and
paid for it in scrip. Wild land he first
rented out for series Of years, charg-
ing the renter the first year the taxes,
the second year the taxes and rs cents
an acre, the third year the taxes and bO
cents an acre. After that his agent
made such terms as he could. In all
cases renters have to make their own
improvements, which they can take
away with them or sell to renters who
take their places. OF course only the
most temporary, cheap improvements
are made. The renters live in novels
instead Of houses. The roads are not
worked, the country is not improved;
each renter cares only to get present re-
turns and Is not a citizen who takes an
interest in the country.
But this is what landlordism leads to.
Let us not forget that the land question
is fundamental and overshadowing
question. n.-Wealthmakers.

HAWKSHAW WALKUP
BROUGHT UP WITH A SHORT
TURN AT STRASBURG.

Number of OHenses, Among Which
Are BIackmaiI and PurIoininR g ood $
of Another-The Detective StoutIy
Maintains His Innocence and His
Friends in Navarro Come to His Res
cue With a Bail Bond.
There are few people in Canton who do not
know Isaac Walkup, the celebrated private de-
tective who has been mixed in q number of
sensational cases that have occurred in Stark
county, but who has always managed to keep
his own skirts clear and furnish damaging evi-
dence in the courts against people that he had
been investigating. Walkup Is now figuring
in another sensation butthis time, for achange,
be Is the principal party. Isaac was brought up
with rather a short turn In his detective career
Christmas day. II will be remembered that
Walkup has been after one David Parks on
charges that had been produced and now Parks
retaliates.
A criminal warrant was issued by G.. G..
Fernsell, q justice of the peace of Frank
lin township, Tuscaawas county, o., for
Walkup's arrest on four severe charges preferred
against him in an affidavit filed by Parks,
who claims TO have been criminally prosecuted
by Walkup. The charges against Walkup are
for attempting to levy blackmail in the sum of
$500 on one David G. Zollars also for offering
to compound felony; also for falsely and
fraudulently personating an officer of the law,
and for stealing. He was taken into custody
after considerable show of resistance, at Ma
yarre, by Constable John Saam, and forthwith
taken to Squire Fernsells court, at Strasburg,
for preliminary trial.
Walkup waived an examination and entered
into bond Of $1,000 for his appearance be-
fore the Tuscarawas county common pleas
court at its next term, giving John W. Buss
n n Ens1 IaNan
that he is altogether innocent of all the allega-
tions brought against him and claims that the
prosecution is false and malicious one for
which he will make the instigator pay dearly.
He seems to have plenty Of warm friends at
Navarro, who coincide in his protestatons of
innocence. They decline to believe that he is
guilty of any wrong doing.
A Navarro correspondent has been LOOKING
into this matter at some length and sends the
following special from that village:
"Walkup has secured damaging evidence
against Parks, who was indicted by the Stark
county grand jury some days ago. 1t is al
legged that Parks offered Walkup $3.50 to leave
this part of the country. The offer is said to
have been refused"
The telegram from Navarro is misleading.
Parks has not been indicted by the Stark
county grand jury but has been bound over to
the prabate court on the charge of taking some
tools. There is very little evidence against
him at present. Probate court has not had u
sitting for some time, as there was no court
room available, or the case would have been
disposed of before this

He is Going to Have Opposition Right

be Issued In Canton.
As announced in the NEWS DEMOCRAT
some weeks ago, q new Republican daily
Marvin, well known here, is to be editor and
Mr.. A. G. Dickinson, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, will
be business manager. These gentlemen were
in the city Thursday for the purpose of secur-
ing quarters for their publication. They were
shown through the Clark block on East
Fourth street, and il is stated that they have
an option on the lease of the entire building.
The building will probably be vacated in jan
uary and it is understood the company repre-
sented by these gentlemen has purchased ali
equipments for its plant and will issue the first
paper about February 1st
The advent of this new paper means trouble
for Governor Mckinley right here at home. 1t
is not known just who is back of the deal but
it is intimated that Col. A. l.. Conger, of Akron,
nd State Auditor Poe, of Columbus, are back
of the new enterprise. Auditor Poe wants to
favorable to the plan. There is the rub. Poe
will expect support from the new paper and
the paper cannot give it to him without antag-

store for the governor. Mr.. Marvin was in
Canton Friday morning and stated that he ex.
pected that the paper would soon be issued. II
will be an afternoon paper and will have a
Sunday edition. In form II will be like the
NEWS DEMOCRAT folio, which is the popular
paper Of the day. Mr.. Marvin did not deny
nor affirm report that Herb. s. Saxton has
something to do with the new publication.
