The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-04-02

To the close student of contemporaries
Gus events here in the state capital
political intrigue and manipulations
present some strange phases.
Ordinarily they mark sort of a never
ending struggle between the two domi-
mating and contending parties, and both
of them help to make current history.
But that is not the case at present.
The sweeping Republican victories of
1S93-4-5, and the small Democratic
minority in two successive general as
semblies, have caused the leaders of
that party to play waiting game in
state politics.
The Democratic leaders content them
selves by forcing, in a quiet aud unob-
trusive way, the arrogant and over
whelming Republican majority to 90 on
record II a number of ways that will
rise up to plague their party in the fu-
ture.
And it is only recording a simple fact
to say that they are succeeding admir-
ably. But the real play in politics Just
now is between the two factions of the
Republican party. Confident, and over
confident, in their great strengthen
rather their apparent strength-their
camp is dividing, and while they both
claim allegiance to the same banner and
the same chieft ms, it is becoming OBJ
viOus that soon or late they will muster
in two hostile camps, probably before
the political battle of 1896 is ended.
And the more thoughtful Republicans
are beginning TO admit as much.
There have been three notable inyes-
LEGATIONS in progress before legislative
committees, of character which one
political party usually forces upon an
other, and the revelations of which have
marked effect upon the fortunes of the
losing party.
These are the Eggleston avenue mat
ter, the dairy and food commissioner
matter, and the scandal growing out of
the attempt to sell Whitelaw Reid's
"Ohio In the War" electrotypes to the
state for 100000.
All three of them have been forced to
investigation and consideration by one
faction Of the party against the other
by what Is known as the Foraker fac
ton against the Mckinley faction-for
the purpose of downing the latter, and
now that Governor Bushnell is in the
saddle 1t begins 70 look as though the
work of annihilation might be COM
pleted.
The character of these investigations
is familiar to the reader, and does not
need recapitulatiOn at this time The
Mckinley faction is on the defensive in
all of them.
Their object is plain enough TO any
one who chooses to analyze their ulti-
mate effect, which is 10 break down and
dlscreulU Governor McKinley's admin
istration Of state affairs by breaking
down and discrediting his colleagues in
office, and his best friends and chief
heutenants.

HON JAMES ID, JOHNSON.
One of them in lugubrious rhyme PAYS
mournful tribute to the valor of the
dead and the living, promising the gen.
eral result in his opening stanza as fol.
lows:
"'Twas November the fourth, in the year Of
ninety.one,
We had a sore engagement near to Fort Jeffer-
son,
Sinclaire was our commander, which may re.
membered be,
For there we left nine hundred men in the
West'rn Ter'tory."
More than a score Of similar stanzas
followed, naming all the heroes who
fell, and reciting their valorous deeds.
remember when small boy of
listening to a very old man, with quay
ering broken voice, sing it from end to
end, as he acted the stirring scenes in
which he participated So realistic was
his strange recitation that l remem-
bered every word of the poem" for
years, and thus the initial chapter of
Fort RecoveTy's history became indeli-
bly, impressed upon my mind.
Senator James d. Johnson of Mercer

ories 81 the spot, and desiring that they
shall be tittingly commemorated by the
great state of Ohio, some weeks ago in.
troduced joint resolution looking to
that end.
The scene Of this terrific struggle be.
tween civilization and savagery, as it
now presents itself after the lapse of
more than century, is beautiful one,
and nothing could be more appropriate
than for the state Of Ohio to take upon
itself the erection of fitting memorial
for the instruction and delectation of
future generations.
Senator johnson, in advocating his
resolution, delivered q most brilliant
speech, full of reminiscence, pathos and
poetic thought, which, though we'll re-
ceived by the senate, did not receive
that full appreciation which his theme
and the stirring tragedies it embodied
so richly deserved.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-04-02

This matter directly involves the
whole of the Mckinley coterie about
the statehouse, and discovers the re-
markable fact that leading state officials
and ex.ofiicials had formed o syndicate
to loot the state treasury by deriving
enormous profits from some literary
relics on which they seem to have at
best an option.
Every Republican member of the syn
dicate is Mckinley lieutenant, and
the shrewd lawyer for the prosecution,
who is one of Foraker's heutenants,
cross examined the witnesses so as to
bring a knowledge of the whole matter
directly to McKinley's door. He is the
target they are firing at as in the other
| two cases.
Librarian Smith was shrewd enough
| to see what was coming and resigned
| before the boot could be soled with
which he was to be kicked out.
The summary dismissal of the peni.
| tentiary managers by Governor Bush
nell. when the three Republican mem.
bers were among the most influential of
McKinley's friends, and one of them,
Whiting, his neighbor and confidential
adviser, is along the same line and has
the same ultimate object as the investi-
cations.
Foraker is the real prosecutor and
Mckinley the real defendant in all of
them. The object is to reach the presi-
dental candidate by crushing his per-
sonal captains and Ieutenants, and
casting reproach upon his administra.
ton Of public affairs.
And yet Foraker and his friends pre-
tend the greatest affection for and de-
votion to Mckinley and vice versa.
Then why this factional fight ostensibly
waged i'll the name of public morality?
Simply to provoke Mckinley and his
friends to the overt act of resenting
what is being done.
Let the worm dare to turn while he
is being trodden on and there will be
merry sheol all of sudden. Foraker
and his friepds will say that since their
protests of friendship are not believed
by the McKinleyites, then let the Zanes-
vile compact be broken, every man for
himself and the deYil for the hindmost.
The deep humiliations how being
suffered by Mckinley and his friends
dare not be resented. If they are the
Ohio delegation will be split at st.
Louis, and no one knows this better
than Mckinley himself

NEwBERN'S PUBLIC BUILDING,
II Has Been Completed Except as to
the interior Finish.

Newborn, y. c., July 11-(Special) -
The rainfall this week has been con
siderable. embracing nearly every day
and ranging from 0.01 inches to LAO.
The total rainfall from the 5th to the
10th inst. inclusive, was 4.44. No harm
has resulted except causing cotton to
shed somewhat.
Crops i'm all the counties surround
ing Newhern are remarkably fine.
Many a farmer has been heard to de
clare that he has the best crop he
ever had in his life. The season IS
forward also. Corn was laid by
about three weeks earlier than usual.
The trustees of the Newbern Acad-
emy have secured a most excellent
faculty for the scholastic year, Which
opens with it on the first Monday in
September. Prof. ThOs. Il. Foust,
formerly of the State University, is
the principal. He is a brother of Snpt.
Foust, of the Goldsboro graded schools,
which are proving SO successful under
his wise management.
\ number of good, new residences
are being erected in Newborn now.
The main one is the large and hand
some suburban home of James +. Tay-
Tor. on the macadamized road.
The United STATES public building
here is completed except as to interior
finish. The finishing work is soon to
begin. Over $4,000 remains to be eX-
pended on it. The appropriation for
the building was $4,000. This elegant
building and the handsome Craven
county courthouse are fitting com
panions. The latter has been much
improved lately by the addition OF
beautiful porches, by the laying OF the
yard off in graceful lawn plots, we'll
curbed with crowned top granite from
the Mt. Airy quarries.
The nomination of Bryan for Presi-
dent seems to take well with nearly
all the Democrats The feeling is
very hopeful as to the success of the
ticket which he heads.

WALTER HENRY SPEAKS.

Monroe, \. c., July 11.-(SpeciaD-
Walter r. Henry spoke here to-day to
a tremendous audience. He made his
usual incendiary and yillifying speech
against the Democratic party. He
said nothing against the Republican
party. He began by saying that he
would not deal in abusive epithets
or personal abuse and almost in the
next breath stigmatized Ransom as
a scoundrel and political hypocrite,
and called the Democratic press of
the State a gang of contemplate
hounds. While the crowd was Popu-
listic the speech fell fat and did their
cause no good. He spoke three hours.

DOES NOT WANT \ SECOND TERM
One Of the first things Mr.. Bryan did
after receiving the news OF his nominal
ton, was TO write the following as an
address to iahe American people: ~
'In order that | may have no ambt-
tfon but to discharge faithfully the dn-
ties Of the office. | desire go announce
that If elected / shall under no circum-
stances, be q candidate for reelection.
Mr. Bryan afterward said;
There is nothing ! care 70 say, more
than | have already said IN the briei
statement | have given out i'm regard
to a second term. / may add, I'M eXpla-
nation 70 this statement, that 1T was
not the result of a sudden impulse, for
I have had in mind he propriety of
making such an. announcement ever
since | have regarded This nomi0iion
as probability. | believe it to be n
good principle. The Presidency is The
highest honor that can be bestowed
by this country upon human being,
and the power of the Office is SO great
that there ought TO he no temptation
to he man occupying the office to use
it for his own advancement.
INV declaration is not unprecedeni-
ed. Mr.. Cleveland. in his first letter Of
acceptance, set forth the objections

bic that it cannot be surpassed. Pres

Prairie Pimples.

Southwestern Louisiana is bordered
along the coast with broad sandy and
gravelly plains to which the name Of
''pimply prairies" has been given. This
curious title comes from the circular
mounds, arranged in zones and along
intersecting lines, with which large
areas of the plains are covered. Former
ly these mounds, which average so feet
in diameter and attain occasionally p
height of ten feet, were supposed to
have been made by ants, with whose
nests they abound. But recently Prof.
Clendenin, of the Louisiana state uni
ycrsity, has found reason for thinking
that the mounds were formed through
the blowing up of mud by gas escap-
ing from vents in the ground The
arrangement of the mounds in zones and
lines is accounted for by supposing that
the gas vents existed along the fractures
radiating from an earthquake CENTER

THE UNKNOWN NORTH.
Facts About Hitherto Unexplored Region
in British America.

in British America.
j. B. Tyrell, of the Dominion geologi-
cal survey department lately returned
from the unknown north, where he has
been making explorations. He left Sell
kirk on the gath of June. Taking
canoes at Grand Rapids, he, with In
dian guides, proceeded to Norway
house, and descended the Nelson river
100 miles to the Pine river, which they
assembled to the Wolf river. All this
territory has practically never before
been entered by white men. Reaching
the Nelson, they again descended it for
about rs miles, and followed the Burnt
wood to a remote Hudson Bay COM
pany post.
This large section of the country"
says Mr.. Tyrell, sis not wilderness of
rocks such as lies to the east of here
and has been described by many of the
men who have pretended to have a
knowledge of the region. 1 found a
well-wooded country, interspersed with
stretches of prairie; soil of rich clay
loan, with clay subsoil. Great stretches
that were a few years ago heavily tim
bered with spruce have felt the deadly
effects of fire and are now q blackened
stubble of dead trees.
There are large areas of rich, cul-
tivable lands west of the Nelson, and,
though wheat is not grown, simply be-
cause it would be of no value, all va
rieties of vegetables are produced in
the gardens of the Hudson Bay COM
pany posts and proved hardy. Large
stretches of prairie also occur, and 1
have stood on the banks of the Burnt
wood river and gazed on just such rich
stretches as might have been seen
on the Saskatchewan or Assiniboine-
land that will be good for agricultural
purposes and excellent for stock rails
ing some time, though now it is prac-
tically inaccessible.
'All this country is but a continual
ton of the Red River valley. It is all
the deposit of a great lake, of which
Lake Winnipeg is the sunken represent
ative, which stretches from a short
distance east of the Red to the Pembina
mountains on the west and from Grand
Forks on the south to point further
north than was reached this trip.
Except for the climate, that great
country to the west of the Nelson river
has been as richly blessed by Providence
as the far-famed Red River Valley
