THE HOG COMBINE BUSTED.

If Senator Quay has done anything
within the past year, he has busted the
"hog combine" of Pennsylvania. Last
year Governor Hastings, Chris Magee,
boss of Pittsburg, Mayor Warwick, Con-
tractor Porter, and Lobbyist Martin, all
of Philadelphia, united their forces to
overthrow Senator Quay. Hastings was
to doomed for President; Chris Magee
and Martin were to be United States
Senators to succeed Quay and Cameron;
Warwick was to become Governor, and
Porter was to be made Mayor of Phila.
delphia. They were backed by the cor
rupt influences of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, and they had the power of
the whole state administration to aid
them in their nefarious schemes, but
Quay still triumphed, in spite of their
Vaccinations and combinations Gov
ernor Hastings was the first one to leave
the firm and come out for Quay for
President, and he will present his name
to the convention. Contractor Porter
saw the handwriting on the wall, and
left the firm to retire from politics. Mar.
tin next deserted the firm, and he is
now eagerly anxious to get back into
the good graces of Quay again. Mayor
Warwick had a private conference with
Quay at Philadelphia, and he will be
found on the side of Quay at the st.
Louis convention. The political partner
ship has been totally dissolved. The
business will hereafter be carried on by
Magee q Co, the Co. being Senator
Finn, of Pittsburg, whom Magee has
taken in as silent partner. The new
firm will, of course, oppose Quay for
President, but Quay is sure to have the
Keystone state solid at the convention,
with the exception of Magee and Finn.
1t will not be safe for the friends of Ma.
jor Mckinley to count on more than
two delegates from Pennsylvania.

A MORE HOPEFUL ASPECT,

Henry Clews' letter presents a much
more hopeful aspect this week than last.
The fine spring weather has had good
effect on business. He sizes up the stu
alton as follows:
''In Wall Street affairs, the past week
has shown some improvement of feeling.
Some of the factors noted in my advices
Of last week as having unfavorable as.
pect, have since changed for the better.
The impression is gaining ground that
President Cleveland is not likely to pre-
cipitate alarm by hasty action on the
Cuban situation; which had the effect Of
mitigating an apprehension that has be-
come quite acute since the resolutions on
that question recently adopted by Con-
gress. In business affairs also, there has
been some recovery OF tone. The fine
Spring weather has given an impetus TO
the demand for seasonable merchandise,
and the effect upon distributing trades
has been quite marked. A better feeling
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-04-23

prevails in the textile trades, and the
disposition shown by the mill owners to
restrict production and reduce wages
suggests prospect that this important
group of industries may soon find the
way towards better regulation of their
interests. In the iron trade also, inn
portant progress has been made towards
remedying the decentralization in prices
through forming combinations in differ
ent branches of the business for the pur-
pose of preventing excessive competi-
ton and placing production upon a pay
ing basis. The official Spring crop re-
ports have had, on the whole, favora-
ble result The present condition OF the
wheat crop has the effect Of strengthen
ing the price of that cereal; and yet it
does not prevent the possibility of the
crop finally coming out better than pres
ent probabilities suggest. In any event,
the rise in wheat has, at the moment, an
exhilarating effect upon whatever is de-
pendent upon the farming interest. Up
on the whole, the general outlook is con-
strued as presenting a more hopeful as
pect, and as indicating turning Of the
tide in favor of some recovery in busi-
ness

THE SIXTH CITY IN OHIO IN 1000.

At the last census Canton was the
ninth city in Ohio, her population being
26, lS9. Akron was just little ahead, l,
with p ,06l inhabitants. Springfield and
Youngstown were recorded respectively
with a population Of 81 ,S95 and 1920
1t is safe to say that in the census of
1900, Canton will forge ahead of Akron
and Springfield, and probably Youngs-
| town. In Canton, the per cent. of in
crease from 1880 to 1890 was 105 per
cent; in Akron nearly 6t per cent; in
Springfield nearly 81 per cent and in
Youngstown It was 10 per cent. Cam
ton and Youngstown both increased
their area which is partly responsible for
their large per cent. of increase, but the
acquisition to Youngstown was much
greater than the territory which was an
nexed to Canton. The population of
Youngstown township in the census of
1850 was $40, while in 1890 it was only
1,S46. The population of Canton town.
ship in 1850 was 2,6l5, while in 1890 it
was 2,2SS. From this it will be seen
that a much larger population was added
to Youngstown by stretching the city
limits, than to Canton. In estimating
from the vote, it is safe to say that there
were less than 1000 people added to
Canton, while 5000 and over were ad.
ded to Youngstown. The per cent. of
increase from the cities proper is GER
tainly more in Canton than in Youngs-
town.
From a most careful estimate made
recently by the school census, Canton
has at least $4,000 people within her
confines. The business and financial de-
preston for the past four years has not
tended to increase our population. Many
families have moved away, and many
more families have been deferred from
coming here from other places on ac-
count of the dullness of things. But
in spite of these reverses, Canton has in
creased at the rate of 1000 year. Tie
remainder of the decade will be witness
ed by period Of unparalleled prosper
ity, which will be an incentive for peo-
pie to locate in Canton. The increase
for the remaining four years is sure to
exceed 1000 year. These things being
facts, we believe we are extremely
modest when we say that Canton in
1900 will have population of over
$4,000. At any rate, we are bound to be
the seventh city in the state, and proba-
bly, the sixth. To Akron and Spring.
field we say goodbye. We are compel
led to leave you in the rear.

Decided to Wait Until the Republicans
Announce Their Program.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The senate
adjourned early in order to permit the
Democratic senators to hold a caucus
which was held in the Democratic con-
ference room. The caucus was called
upon the supposition on the part Of the
signers Of the call that it would be COM
petent for the caucus to decide upon an
order of business before the final ad-
journment of congress. The meeting
did not, however, result in such de-
termination.
1t was even discovered that the recog.
nized leaders on the Democratic side
were of the opinion that both propriety
and eXpediency demanded that the
Democrats should decide upon no course
until the Republicans should announce
their program. They contended that
while the Republicans had control of
the committees they were responsible
for legislation and that it was in the in.
terest Of the Democracy that this posi-
tion should be maintained. 1t was de.
cided to wait until after the Republi-
can conference.

Blown Across a Train.

Fremont, o., April 21.-The tornado
accompanied by heavy rainfall which
swept over the northwestern part of
Sandusky county killed two persons, in.
jured number Of others and did great
damage to property.
The tornado came from the southwest
with great fury and every building it
struck was swept away. After smash
ing q road bridge, blew big tree
across a Wheeling and Lake Erie
freight train crushing the caboose and
came near killing a number Of train
men.
The wind then began to play havoc
with farm buildings The barns of
Jacob Engler, J. Hefftinger, Upton Ber.
goon and Anthony Swint first went
down before it. The house of James
Green was destroyed. Green's aged
father, William l.. Green, was killed
outright, his wife fatally hurt and the
baby carried across the road in its
cradle. The child escaped uninjured.
Next the barn of Amos Hetrick, in
which Hetrick and John Low were
shearing sheep, was crushed. Low was
blown across a field against tree, being
instantly killed. Other buildings de.
stroyed were the barns of AL Fairchild.
William Hensel, Perry Parish, George
Waggoner and Charles Tucker. Tuck.
er's child was badly hurt.
At Booktown, hamlet near here,
nearly all the buildings were destroyed,
but there was no loss of life. The
storm covered wide track and it is
possible that further damage will be
repOrted

FEARFUL WIND AT NEW CASTLE
Buildings Demolished and People Have
Narrow Escapes.

Narrow Escapes.
New CASTLE, Pa, April 2l.-The wind
here was the heaviest ever known. For
half an hour the rain fell in torrents
and the wind blew everything loose
that was movable. The streets were
flooded in every direction and pedes
trians found it difficult to get around.
Fences in every part Sof the city were
blown down, great trees were uprooted
and twisted and torn from the earth
There were many narrow escapes from
death. One man, whose name could
not be learned, attempted to cross Main
street and was thrown TO the pavement
and rolled at least 80 feet up the street
before he could again regain his feet
but he escaped with few bruises. The
front of Charles Earle's West Side store
was blown in just as he was at the tran.
som endeavOring to close it, and he had
several teeth knocked out by the flying
debris.
The Central school building, one of
the largest i'll the city, was completely
unroOfed; the same was the case with
the West Side school and st. Mary's
parochial school building, while the
Catholic church suffered u similar fate.
The damage done to the three school
buildings and the church is estimated ut
not less than $1,000. The new residence
OF M. l.. Hanna was blown down and
the handsome residence of Policeman
John Marshall had its roof blown off
Lightning struck the Knox hotel, which
is kept by William McKibben, and the
chimney was blown off and went clear
through the roof down into a bedroom
In this room was Miss McKibben and
she had narrow escape with her life
She thought the house was falling in
and was about to jump from the second
story window, but was prevented in
time.
Nearly every window in the west side
of the large Shenango glass works of
Knox, Folz d Co. were blown out. to-
gether with the sash. The new resi-.
dence of Joseph Anderson was also
wrecked. The large stable of the Foun-
tain inn was raised about five feet and
moved from its foundations. Andrew
Falls carriage house was smashed to the
ground and a fine buggy wrecked. At
the time the wind was at its highest
signs were flying in every direction and
in many instances people who had taken
shelter in the doorways had very mar.
row escapes. 1t is believed that other
and worse damage has been done in tho
country districts in the wake of the
storm.

which reference was made to the rate of
increase in wages. His figures cover a
