CALLED ON MCKINLEY.

A Large Delegation of Workingmen, and the Farmers of Knox County. Canton, O., Aug. 24-Eight hundred
 citizens of East Liverpool, O., called on Major Mckinley to-day East Liver
 pool is the center of the pottery indus try in Ohio, and most of the men in the delegation were worHingmen from the potteries. The spokesman made an excellent address to Major Mckinley, congratulating him on the fact that he had remained a true and steadfast ad- vocate of protection principles, and as-
 sured him that the workingmen of
 Eastern Ohio were enthusiastic in his support. Three rousing cheers were given for Major Mckinley before he
 was permitted to speak.
 Major Mckinley spoke with great vigor. He said that twenty years ago
 he faced an East Liverpool audience for
 the first time, and that then, as now,
 he was speaking for protection and
 sound money He then described pres- ent conditions, comparing them with
 those which existed under the Harrison administration. The way to help labor, declared Major Mckinley, is to provide it with steady work and good wages,
 and then have these good wages al-
 ways paid in good money, as sound as
 the government and as untarnished as
 its flag. "No matter what kind of
 money we have, we cannot get 1t with
 out work-whether 1t is poor or good
 gold or silver. We cannot get one dol
 lar unless we have employment for our hands and heads.'
 A short time after the East Iiverpool worlSingmen departed, large delega- ton of farmers from Knox county, Ohio marched up to the Mckinley resi- dence It was the first delegation com posed entirely of farmers which has visited Major Mckinley since his norni- nation.
 The spokesman Fl. D. Critchfield, ex-
 plained, in his address to Major Me Kinley, that Knox county is typical
 agricultural community of the central
 states, and that it contains men of all
 shades of opinion. The populists have
 been active there and still are, "but we are here to assure you, Major Me
 Kinley, that the vote of every republi-
 can and some of the democrats of that
 county will be cast for you"
 When Major Mckinley stepped upon the chair to speak the 300 farmers who faced him cheered him long and lustily The majors speech was full of points
 which were earnestly applauded. De- pression in agriculture always follows low tariff legislation. he declared The farmer is suffering to-day because the
 number of his competitors has increas-
 ed and his best customers are out of work. We cannot decrease competi- tion, but restoration of protective
 tariff will give work to your custom CTS.
 Major Mckinley spoke of the benefits of reciprocity and showed what the farmer had lost in foreign markets Free silver, he said, will not cure over production, nor under-consumption. You don't get consumers through the
 mint, you get them through the fac tories. These sentiments were loudly cheered The delegation was one of the
 most enthusiastic that has visited Can- ton and gave evidence of the deepest interest in the discussion of the money
 and tariff questions. Major McKinley's speech was carefully prepared.

SMITHS GOOD FORTUNE.
His Stolen Watch Recovered Within a
 Few Hours.


 Albert Smith of 120 Orange street was passing through a crowd on Chapel street, near Ewen McIntyres store, last evening about o'clock. He felt a sudden pull on his watch chain. Smith made nasty examination and found that his watch was gone and small piece of his chain was dangling from his vest
 MT. Smith saw two men in front of the New Haven Shoe company's store examining a watch. One of the men said T do not know whose watch this is, or where 1t came from, but came by it honestly"
 Smith stepped up to the men and said: You have my watch" This was met with the remark that neither of the men knew where it came from, but one of them had just discovered it hanging by a part of a chain, around the button of the coat sleeves of one of them.
 Mr Smith gave the number of the watch and described it with such accu- racy that the man who held the time piece gave it to him. The owner of the watch did not inquire as to the name of the persons who were making an examination of the watch.

A Prominent New Havener Sends Some
 Practical Suggestions.


 Prominent New Hayener Sends Some
 Practical Suggestions. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Bethlehem, N. H., Aug. 23,-An art little known, little loved, yet full of all that makes art the spirit of life, is the art of making place, a town beautiful. I came to Bethlehem after an absence of two years. The whole aspect of the street Is changed. A re- finement seems to have touched the view. I study what it might be, The hotels are the same, the sidewalks are the same; the trees, the sky. the far h- land mountains are as they were, yet as one walks along one seems to be in a place of cleanliness. One feels as one does when one passes from the kitchen to a sweet kept sitting room. Only little change, but picture here, a pot of flowers there, changes the room from work to rest. So visit the Beth lehem street. What have they done? Simply they have taken every pill sign. every soap sign down. No teleghaph pole advises you what to take for your liver, no guard rail tells you in blatant red and green what kind of soap 1t is best for you to use.
 It seems a little thing; it is little thing. It is like cleaning your finger nails. It becomes a gentleman and it becomes lady, and it becomes a town.
 I write this in little hope that Bran ford, that East Haven, that Orange, that all the suburban towns of New Haven may clean their finger nails.
