spreading out. There is mining of some
sort in nearly every State. In the West
and on the Pacific Coast mining has grown
enormously. More capital has been in

mining any more, but deep mining, and
this takes a great deal OF capital. We GER
tainly deserve Secretary of Mining if we
have Secretary of Agr iculture. The con-
fict between railroads and mining in
terests, which occurred recently in Cali
fornia, has been settled l believe, but the
question is liable to come up again in

matter that needs careful attention. !

While the consideration that the work of

SPU7E DROWNED HIS FAMILY.
1T Was Not an Accident That Caused the
Death of Wife and Five
Children
Children.

3 DENVER, CoLo., Nov. 16.-Andrew J.
Spute, well-known grocer of this city,
with his family, consisting OF his wife and
five small children, went boating on
Smiths Lake Sunday, October e.
The boat was capsized and Mrs. Spute
and the children were drowned. Spute,
apparently with great effort, managed
to cling to the boat until rescued.
Although it was known at the time of
the drowning that Mrs. Spnte's life, as
well as the lives OF the children. were
insured for a sum aggregating $1,000,
Spute's explanation of the cause OF the
accident seemed satisfactory. Spute
claimed himself and family intended GO
ing to the mountains for an outing, and
that the insurance for three months only
was taken out on this account.
Detectives have been quietly at work on
the case since the night of the drowning,
and it is alleged have secured evidence
that will convict Spute of the murder of
his family for the purpose of securing the
insurance on their lives.
Spute was arrested at an early hour this
morning, and shortly after Nellie Davis,
an inmate of well-known Market-street
resort, was lodged in jail. Spute, it is al
legged. has for a long time led
= dual life and has lavished much
money on the Davis woman,
whom he informed of the large insurance
on his wife's life and to whom he prom
ised costly presents on her birthday-the
18th of December The woman is held as
witness by the police and it is not be-
lieved that she was acquainted with
Spute's plan for the murder OF his family.
AS Spute has always borne good repu-
tation, the facts developed in connection
with the drowning which were made puo-
lie to-day have created sensation among
his many friends.

THE NORTH CHERRY STREET
SCHOOL.

The Board of Education will soon take
steps to build new school house on
North Cherry street. The bill to issue
bonds has passed the legislature, and
now that it is soon to become reality,
the advisability of changing the loca-
ton should be seriously considered by
the board.
The present location of the North
Cherry street school is low, fiat, and at
certain times in the year, soggy. 1t is
located at the foot of the hill, and it was
mistake to build it there in the first
place. A school house should be eleva-
ted where the water has chance to run
of.
Now that new school house is to be
built, the board should be as careful
about the location of it as the building
itself. 1t is equally as important, if not
more. There are some splendid elevated
sites in close proximity to the present
location on the bluff either on North
Cherry street, or on Lawrence avenue,
which can be obtained, The bluff re-
ferred to is one of the most pleasant
places in the city. There is breeze on
that bluff in hot weather when there is
no breeze at any other place in the city.
And it would cost but little more for q
new location. Some additional ground
must be purchased any how, if the new
building is to be located on the present
site, that will probably cost 81 800. The
old building can be used until the new
one is completed, and this will save an
other thousand in rent, and then th'
old grounds could be sold to good ad
vantage. This is matter in which thu
people of that end of town are interest
ed, and certainly no harm can com'
from the board giving it due considera
ton.

ORGANIZE.

Organize That seems to be the
watchword Of the Democratic party in
Stark County. An organized minority
is far better than disorganized major
ity. When the Democrats had a Demo
cratic club in nearly every important
center in Stark County, the county was
Democratic. When these organizations
went out of existence, the Democratic
majorities went with them.
The presidential campaign is coming
on, and it behooves the Democrats in
the Democratic localities to organize
There is not one Democratic club today
in Stark County. Only few years ago
there were permanent climbs at Canton,
Massillon, Alliance, Navarro, Louisville,
New Berlin and Middlebrancb. 1t was
no trouble then to get Democratic ma
jority in Stark County, even when the
tide was against us. In 1887 and in
1888, when the tide was surging against
us in state and nation, Stark County
stood firm in the Democratic column,
and it must be attributed to the infu-
ence that the Democratic clubs exerted
throughout the county.
There should be one grand central
Democratic club organized in Canton at
once, and there should be local Demo
cratic clubs organized in every township
and especially in the Democratic town
ships. 1t is only by organization that
we can rescue the county from the Re-
publicans. The club for Canton should
be founded on a broad basis. Every
Dem ocrat in Stark County should be
eligible. There should be no age dis
qualification. Democrats at fifty are
just as capable of active work as Demo
Gratis at twenty-five or thirty. There
should be but one disqualifcation-dis
loyalty to the ticket. A club of thi
kind would wipe out all factional differ
ences, if there are any. 1t would mus
ter our forces, and marshal them agains
the enemy in solid phalanx. Their,
would be a rejuvenated Democracy il

Que Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, Indicated by warmth, slight mois-
ture and intense, ,uncontrollable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some-
times give temporary relief, bnt nothing
like permanent cure can be expected
from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching Iiles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleeding
or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued use
for short time causes permanent re-
moval of the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and dis
comfort of Itching piles

A SWEEPING DECISION.

The decision of the Ohio Supreme
Court in a road bill applying to Athens
County, declaring it to be unconstitu-
tional, is far-reaching in its results. 1t
will invalidate many laws that are. now
on the statute books, and it forever puts
quietus on all ripper legislation.
The constitution prohibits special legis-
lation of all kinds. 1t declares, in Sec
ton 28, that "all laws of general ma
ture shall have a uniform operation
throughout the state" This section has
been often evaded, however, by giving a
general title to the bill, but so limited
as to apply to but one locality in the
state. Thus a bill for any purpose,
which stated that its provisions "shall
apply to any city in the state which has
population of 26, lS9 by the last CEN
sus would mean only Canton, for that is
the only city in the state which at that
time had that exact population.
BY this decision the "school ripper
for Canton which was railroaded through
the Legislature in the early part of 1885
by Representative Rowland is unconsti'
tutional for it applied only to Canton
and to no other city in the state. The
members of the board will hereafter bC
elected by wards as in other cities, and I
solid Republican board will be thing O
the past.
There is another thing of more ser
ious nature that is involved in the deci
cision. The decision makes the Board o

THE REPUBLIC IN DANGER.
Brazilian Moparohists Preparing to Re
bel Against the Gnvcrnment

Brazilian MoDarohists Preparing to Ra-
bel Against the Government
RIO DE JANElRo, May 4-The mon
arehial movement in Brazil is begin
ming to take q very serious turn. Profit
ing by the general disorder which oh.
tains among the republicans by reason
of foreign and domestic troubles. the
monarchists arc picking up courage and
declare openly their intention to restore
the monarchy. AS long ago as Nov. 10
last they made considerable demon
stration at Rio dc .Taneiro and at San
Paulo in favor Of restoration.
What adds to the gravity of the stu
alton is that numerous officers of high
rank in the army and navy, who have
hitherto maintained their neutrality,
have declared openly for the monarchy.
General Thomas Pompen, professor in
the military school of Fort Aleze, few
days ago at public meeting invited his
pupils and colleagues to join the mon.
archists. The republican journal Opaiz,
recently demanded that all soldiers and
sailors above a certain rank declare their
faithfulness to the republic. Very few
army officers have responded, and many
are suspected of sympathy with the con-
spirators.
The dispute over Trinidad island with
| England, the troubles in Rio Grands
do Sul and the turbulent tendencies OF
| the Jacobinos all serve to encourage the
monarChial conspirators in their cam
paign against the government. They
have emissaries all over Brazil, as wei
as the work they do through the press

Illinois and others have declared for the
old standard, will have big influence
on the deliberations of the st. Louis
convention. Even Senator Wclcott
says he will not desert his party If 1t de-
clares for the gold standard.
The Ohio platform is shutting and de-
ceptive. The Republicans are not salts
fed with it, and they want to know
where Major Mckinley stands on this
burning question. Whitelaw Reid says
that MIR. Mckinley is opposed to free
silver and in favor of international BIZ
metallism, and adds: "He has repre-
sented his party when other ideas pre-
vailed to govern good policy" This is
almost paraphrase of the story Of the
MARYLAND Democrat who, having been
called upon by his constituents to state
his views on public affairs, did so only
to be met by evident signs Of disap-
proval. He paused, and then added;
"Gentlemen, them is my principles, but,
gentlemen, them principles kin be
altered"
A man of that kind is not wanted IN
the presidential chair, and yet until MIR.
Mckinley speaks out for himself, de-
claring his views on the currency ques-
ton, he must be regarded as a shuffier,
coouetting for the silver vote. The
money plank of the Ohio platform,
which has been again and again attribu-
ted to him without denial or contradic-
ton, is an attempt at evasion, and his
declaration that "the money of the
Government must be as fair as its
honor" is of the same character. Major
Mckinley cannot expect to get any
eastern votes unless he declares himself,
and without some eastern votes, 1t is
hardly probable that he can be nomina,

IT is good to be reminded from time
to time that the Democratic party Of
Vermont is still shining arduously up
the Green Mountains. The task must
be difficult, but the spirit Of the climbers
is not to be daunted. Now, as in for
mer days, the Vermont Democracy is
principally composed Of the Hon. Sen
eca Haselton and the Hon. Bradley X.
Smalley; but these two men are sutfi-
cient in themselves for all the great du.
ties of the party and politician. They
can hold conventions; in case Of success
Mr.. Smalley can hold the offices, and
neither Mr.. Haselton nor Mr.. Smalley
ever permits himself to be discouraged.
There are regions where the Democracy
is more numerous than in Vermont.
Nowhere is it more hopeful or in more
cheerful frame of mind.
