THE RESULT IN CANTON.

The result of the election in Canton
on the Sth inst shows great victory
The Democrats have the mayor, solici
tor, water works trustee, the three
members OF the board of education, six
of the seven members Of council and
five of the seven ward assessors by de,
cided majorities.
The Republicans re-elect their marshal
street commissioner, market master, one
member of council and two assessors
thus giving the Democrats IA to the
Republicans six in the city.
In the township the Republicans gel
one Of the two assessors and the Demo,
Gratis get Il rest, being the township
trustee, treasurer and the two constables,
being five to one. This is decidedly an
encouraging victory and shows that by
united action and good work the county
may be redeemed in the fall. Let things
be pus in shape thereto.

OUR LIBEL wS.

The libel laws in Ohio, as in most or
ell the States, are behind the age and
should be modified to suit or conform
to present conditions A singular libel
case was on trial in our court room No.
this week before judge Taylor, the
parties being Tyndale Palmer against
the Repository Printing Co., the dana
ges claimed being $4,000
The history OF the case, having been
given in Yesterdays News-Democrat,
need not be repeated here. The purpose
of this article is to urge a change in our
libel laws. No doubt the jury under the
circumstances would have brought in a
verdict for the defendant if the law
would have permitted. Under the law
the court directed the jury to bring in a
verdict in favor Of the plaintiff in some
amount and so they brought in a
verdict for $l.5O instead of $50, 900.
The fact is our laws should be so
changed that no such suit could be
brought. The so-called libel was a tele.
graphic dispatch sent to dailies generally
and published over the country as news
The Repository, when advised of its in.
correctness, offered to retract, but this
was refused, and so the Repository COM
pany, entirely innocent of any intention
of wrong or of malice and even refused
the chance to correct, has been subject
ed to the trouble and serious expense of
lawsuit.
This man Palmer, a citizen of New
York, unknown hereabouts, and with
no business in this section in which he
could be injured by the publication in
question, in any amount, and yet, as we
say, under our laws the Repository must
be put to heavy expense. We hope
the next general assembly of Ohio will
change our libel laws to suit present
conditions and prevent suits like this
that really amount to persecution.
No newspaper man, who understands
his business, wants to libel any one, and
certainly would have no object in malig.
ing a stranger as was Mr.. Tyndall Pal
mer. The fact is that, under our present
statutes, no newspaper is safe. The
press should unite and see to it that the
libel laws are modified the country over.

The Dingley tariff bill, as it passed
the house with the retroactive clause,
declares goods imported after April lst
to be dutiable under the new bill, this
of course before it is a law. This is
simply high-handed despotism, without
reason or right. This Reed-Dingley,
(both Of Maine) bill directs the secretary
of the treasury to require customs officers
to collect duties under an act not yet
approved by the Senate and President,
and to disobey law not yet repealed.
What an absurdity and burlesque on
propriety and legality. What sort Of
hoodlum Statesmen are these Republi.
cans of the house?

His Views on the Recent Electi
Results.

His Views on the Recent Election
Results.
SAN Francisco, April 14.-Arthur
Sewall, the Democratic candidate for
vice president in the last campaign, has
arrived from the east via the Isthmus
of Panama. Mr.. Sewall has been on
the water for the past 30 days, and con-
sequently is not familiar with the po-
litical happenings of that period. He
said
81 place no special significance upon
the recent Democratic success in east
ern cities. They were purely the result
of local influence. The people of the
east are inclined to give President Nc.
Klnley and his administration fair
trial. Businessis very much depressed
there, and should it not improve think
the Democrats will present the same
silver issue four years hence, and |
have no doubt they will be successful,
OF course everything will depend upon
the financial condition of the country
during the next four years. The people
have been promised better times, and If
they do not get them they will again
demand change of administration"

During the four years past the courts
have appointed receivers for III railroad
companies, operating 1896 miles OF
road, or nearly one.third the total
mileage of the country, and represent
ing s2,S25, ,507 900 of stocks and bonds.
The railroad foreclosures of the past
three years cover l52 roads, operating
10, S47 miles of road, with 81, ,23l, ,l67 ,00O
OF stocks and bonds. The railroads de-
faulting in 1896 exceeded in amount the
entire commercial and bank failures OF
the country put together. Railroads,
like the rest of mankind generally in
this country, are in bondage az high
rate of interest. Usury there is much
the trouble as it is everywhere in this
land.

Scientists declare that the increasing
floods in the Mississippi are the result
of denuding the mountains and hills at
the sources of the great river and its
branches of the forests, which are nature s
clothing that prevented the rapid
melting Of the SHOWS and so retarded
the precipitation of great volumes of
water. There is probably something in
this idea. 1t will be difficult to restore
those forests and reclothe the hiIlsides
with timber.

A tariff is tax and the consumer has
it to pay and the man who consumes
most OF the tarided articles pays the
highest tax.
Taxation in its last analysis
is confscation by the government
of the property of the citizen for
public purposes. Protection is authority
indirectly conferred upon certain busi-
ness men to confscate the property of
their patrons.
Taxation is a necessary burden;
Protection is an ingenious robbery

Congressman Bailey, Democratic leader
in the House, was invited to dine at the
White House, but called the day before
and excused himself to President Nc
Kinley, as he never wore a dress suit.
Mr.. Bailey said the President was very
pleasant about it. In an interview Mr.,
b. said 81 do not wear dress suit,
probably from habit. While many
gentlemen do wear them and enjoy
pleasant social evenings, others who do
not, end who, therefore miss these
festivities, have the satisfaction Of know

The election in Canton is great
personal triumph for Mayor James A.
Rice. He was that city's worthy chief
executive during an exciting and event
full period and he had discharged his
duties in judicious manner, and yet
was fearless and outspoken as an advo'
cate of VIM. j. Bryan. We hope further
political honors are in store for him.

A half dozen or more great Chicago
dailies opposed Carter Harrison's cleo
ton and one stood by Harrison and the
Democratic ticket. Yet on poll of
287 ,434 votes Harrison had plurality
of II, ,756, the largest ever given a candi-
date in Chicago, and majority over all
of the eight opposing candidates Of 2,222.
Mr.. Hauison's vote, AZ, 1928, was 90
more than Bryan received in Chicago,
Harrison's plurality was 77,756, while
Mckinley in November had $4,000. The

that the Democrats of Ohio will this
year nominate for governor Allen w.

probable they will support John X. Nc

National Honesty.

A better illustration of the fact that
honesty is the best policy could be af-
forded than the fact that United States
bonds, drawing three or four per cent,
are at premium The nation has es-
tablished its credit by strict honesty.
No mean advantage has ever been tax
en- of the Nations creditors, even when
technicality gave the opportunity.
There has always been short-sighted
and dishonest people who howled about
the bond holders and talked as though
the Government should pay them off in
greenbacks or deprecated silver. The
Government by such course might
make a temporary gain of a few mil
lions. But what would it lose in credit
A State cannot afford to be Gishonol
able. 1t had better a tn ousand times
permit itself to be robbed than to rob
anybody What has made the credit
of the United States so good that every
capitalist in the world is willing to loan
it money at very small percentage?
Honesty and faithfulness to its obliga-
tions. And it is the same with indivi-
duals. No man can afford to take a
technical advantage of another The
United States has always acted honora-
bly, with its creditors, Notwithstanding
the clamor of fanatics, and we trust it
will always have the manhood to do

must be taken to lower the bodily TEN

ing should be partially removed and the
patient carried under pump or placed
