Hi KIMBALLG P
cLATE r. TINAN.
Official Pausr Of the City and county

No one expected that the Pukwana
Press could make any defense for its
dirty attempt to injure a business man
of this town, simply because in his
desire for a place under the incoming
administration he stood in the a of
tho Press master and boss. The Press
inspiration and motive is SO we'll known
that its spasm this week is about what
might he expected. II does not even
make an attempt to snbstantiate a single
charge made against Vi. Ochsner. OF
course it can make faces, call names, be.
little its bettres and With a grand display
of trumpets refer to Tie GRAPH1c's happy
exposure of the Press nastiness as "a
simple conglomeration OF distorted facts,
abusive epithets, cowardly simula.ion,
unWarranted assumption and e%xtraordi-
nary exhibition of self conceit." De-
prived of its ability to be a bIackguard,
the Press would be in much the same
condition as q polecat without its pecu-
liar means of beastial offansiyeness. We
have no desire to continue the contro-
versy and we can we'll afford to have the
GRAPHIc's Democracy questioned by the
Press for showing up some Of the rotten
ness OF the Republican party of this
county and the peculiar methods OF the
Pukwana Press and its boss. We have
10 apologies to cffer 10 any man
OF any party. We think we know
what is proper for a Democratic news
paper to print about as we'll as anyone.
incidentally, it is a striking fact in this
connection that the GRAPHIC has never
asked the assistance, endorsement OF
help OF any living Republican for party
patronage in n shape way or manner.
When the Press can saw as much it will
be time to question the party loyalty OF
| others,

Dana with the People for Once.
New York Sun:-Two years ago last
December Mr.. Gage as a Chicago banker
proposed this way for the government to
keep out of the currency business:
T1) Authorize the issue Of $25O,O0O,-
600 OF 20 per cent bonds payable at such
time as congress may select TWENTY-FIVE
years desirsble). 10 be offered to subscrib-
ers at par. Accept In payment United
States legal tender notes or treasury
notes, the same to be cancelled. (2)
Amend the national bank act so that
banks car obtain note issue to the main
value Of bonds deposited as security for
circulation. Reduce the tax on circulat-
ing notes to one-half of / per cent"
When Mr.. Gage gets into the treasury.
far away from his bank counter, 1t is
likely that he will see this matter in a
different light. Then he Will probably
conclude that the popular affection for
.he banks is not SO deep, tender and self
sacrificing rs to induce congress to ln-
crease the bonded debt by $25O,OOO,OOo in
order that the banks may get the inter-
est at 21a per cent and use the bonds as
security for profitable note issues to re-
place the better currency the people now
have without paying any interest at all
to any M MIR. Gage might as we'll ask
congress to make a present of the $780,.
100000 TO the banks outright.

The Argns-Leader calls attention to

The Argns-Leader calls attention to
the fact that the new railroad law may
not lower the passenger rates after all.
The passenger rate at present is four
cents per mile, but the round trip rate is
2A cents. The Argus-Leader thinks the
railroads may do away aith the round
trip rate aud charge a straight three
cent tariff, the maximum, rate fixed by
the Wheeler Till. Tho Argus-Leader
says this is what is done in Iowa. 1t is
mistaken, however, on this point, as
round trip tickets are sold in Iowa. If
the railroads find it more profitable to
sell round trip tickets at reduced rates
than to adhere to a straight tariff both
ways. the principle will operate just the
same under one rate as another. Incl
dentally, the public has never kicked
about the passenger rates, but at the
high local freight tariffs. Ifthe Wheeler
bill had let the present passenger rate
alone except as to fixing a maximum
tariff Of something like a cent a mile on
mixed tratns-that average 10 miles al
hour-it would have hit nearer the center
of the bullseye. Four cents a mile is
cheap enough in u thinlY settled country
on a perfectly equipped passenger train
making good time and providing good
service.

Gov. Lee has been making a big effort
to have any high license bill passed by
the legislature so framed as to throw the
greater part Of the money into the state
treasury and help out the deficiency in
revenues, but the legislature won't have
1t that way. The solons are right and
should stay there. With a high license
law and local option not more than one
half-two thirds at the outside-of the
counties would license saloons. 1t is
manifestly unfair that any part OF tile
funds drawn from the liquor traffic by
these counties should go to swell the
states exchequer for the benefit of those
communities that are too blamed moral
to look out for themselves. Not one cent
of the revenue from the saloons should
go to the state. To many people and
communities the idea of lesseDihg taxa
ton through a saloon tax is highly re-
pungent. Don't hurt their feelings.

Whisky is a food, the adulteration Of
which is a violation of the pure food
laws, according to a decision just handed
down by the Ohio supreme court. Joseph
G. Hutchinson, Of Columbus, was arrested
by an agent OF the Food Department for
selling whisky below proof. His defense
was that whisky is an intoxicant, the
sale of which was legalized by the liquor
laws; but the court held that it was a
violation Of the food statute to sell
whisky which is less than 100 degrees
proof, the test established by the United
States pharmacopoeia.

The Canton News makes a suggestion

The Canton News makes a suggestion
to the legislature that will meet with
the approval of all county treasurers and
newspapers that have anything to do
with publishing the tax list. The News
suggests that the law be amended so as
to require the publication Of the tax list
three weeks next prior to the tax sale,
instead of the first publication being
made the first week in October. This
would give the treasurer and newspapers
a week or ten days after Oct. THE
date when the treasurer is supposed to
furnish the printer with the delinquent
list-to draw of the list and get it placed
in type.

The purported interview with Lyman

by a representative Of the New York

by the GRAPHIC at the time. The World
simply took some remarks Gage made
before the Commercial club Of Chicago
two years ago and palmed them off as a
bran-new interview. The World is a
