THEY ALL SAY 50.
Not Only In Canton But In Every

If the reader took the time to ask his
fellow residents of Canton the simple
question propounded below he would
obtain the one answer. If he had the
curiosity to read the statements now
published in Canton which refer to this
answer 1t would surprise him to note
that they number between thirty and
fifty. As many more could be published
but in the meantime ask the first man

answer will be Doan's Kidney Pills.

MAYOR HARRIsoN's GOOD WORK,

Mayor Harrison is entitled to the cor
dial thanks Of the public for the manner
in which he forced through the council
the very desirable ordinance for track
elevation. For one reason and another
several of the aldermen sought to delay
the passage of the measure. They want
ed it sent to one of the committees,
where it might be maneuvered to the
satisfaction of the committeeman and
themselves.
But the mayor, who has taken his
stand for the people against the in
fringement of tEeir rights by corporate
interests, thought otherwise. Mr.. Har-
rison remembered, doubtless, that tor
years during which the grade-crossing
horrors have formed part of the weekly
record of city life the necessity of i'm
mediate action for track elevation has
been growing more and more apparent.
Had the track.elevation ordinance been
delayed in Thursday nights session the
work of abolishing the deadly crossings
at grade would have been put back in
definitely. The mayor settled the mat
ter once and for all by making it APP
parent to the aldermen that Juggling
with this important measure would not
be tolerated.-[Chicago Record.
Track elevation has got to come in
other cities. 1t is simply horrible the
loss of life in this country from grade
crossings. These murderous doings do
not occur in Europe, for grade crossings,
as a rule, are not allowed.

Cubans said to Have Given Up the Pro-

Message of Coincidence by De LONE to
President Mckinley.

HAVANA, Dec. 13.-The plans Of the
insurgents to strike blow near the
city have been checked. according to-
the official account, but the concentra-
tion of their forces is such as to make
it unlikely that the insurgent bands
will surrender, as the Spanish authori-
ties have been hoping.
The business concerns of the city are
much discouraged by the actual situa-
ton They do not now look forward to
a speedy end of the revolution. All
say that they have abandoned hope
that the insurgents will surrender or
accept condr rions Of autonomy.

de LONE, spanish minister at Wash

cept autonomy.

RETIRING TIE oREENBAcKs.

We would not be surprised to see Sec
retary Gage and the administration re-
tire before they succeed in retiring the
greenbacks.
The Republicans used to boast of the
greenbacks as permanent arrange
ment. But these did not suit the money
monopolists and spectators, not giving
them control, and SO they got the ma
tional bank law.
For years the money clique organs, as
did the party leaders, were constant in
speaking high praise Of the national
work system. They pronounced it per
fection ITSELF Nothing was ever equal
to it. In fact it was the grand handi-
bank of the ingenious and brainy Re-
publican party.
And now, according to the same
learned and high authorities, the system
needs repairing. In fact, it is failure;
is not what we need; is not flexible, and
hence not suitable to the wants of the
dear and suffering people.
1t seems therefore this great system,
with some four thousand national banks
over the country, must be rejuvenated
in order to give them fiexibility, 50 that
they can help the business of the coun-
try and restore our lost prosperity.
Along with these clamorous demands.
it will be noticed, there is always some
additional privilege required. 1t is the
same old scheme of helping ourselves
under the pretense Of benedtting Others.
Bear in mind, these men wbolworship
at the shrine of money and want to use
the government, are working for their
own interest. They want the privilege
of issuing more noteso on their bonds and
these notes, of course they would loan
at the usual rate of interest. Retiring
the greenbacks would give the banks a
bigger opportunity by supplying the
| yaccuutu.

weYLeR NOW IN MADRID.

Adheren's Carried Him on Their ShouI-
dors- Called on Queen Today.
MADRID, Dec. 13.-Lieutenant Gen.
eral Weyler has arrived here. He was
received at the railway platform by
General Azcarraga, former premier
General Borrero, former commander
OF the Sixth Army corps, and by a
number OF Republicans, Carlists, Con-
servatives and Robeldoists.
AS he alighted from the train they
cheered him and then carried him
shoulder high to the entrance Of the
railway station, where he took car
riage and was rapidly driven off. There
was no further incident, the public ap-
pearing indifferent.
The partisans of General Weyler pre-
tend that crowd of 5000 people ten
dered him an ovation with shouts of
"long live Weyler Death to the yam
KEGS B." and the like. He was received
by the queen regent today.
El Correo Espanol says that the Carl
lists have abandoned their projected
demonstration against President Nc
kinley's message to congress, as they
have not been able to agree on the sub.
jet.
General Weyler in the course of an
interview said he knew that the Cano-
vas cabinet in August last gave the
washington government to understand
that it was the nations will to pursue
his (Weylers) policy in Cuba until the
rebellion should be suppressed. without
ever consenCing to American interfer-
ence. he failed to understand how the
United States, silent before the declara-
tions of Canovas, now adopted in
President McKinley's message o "tone
insulting to Spain and the Spanish
army"
lie believed he declared, that the
government should be compelled to
publish the Canovas note as q salts
faction to the army and also to protest
by all means in its power against Presi-
dent Mchinley's message to congress.
To his personal knowledge, he as
serted, the generals residing in Madrid
felt keenly on this point, while he was
confident that all the conservative ele-
ment of the country would combine to
avert the ruin and dishonor of the
nation.

ALAsKA's FUTURE.

When Alaska was purchased from
Russia in 1867 it was not supposed to be
an event of any great Importance. Re.
cent discoveries however have changed
the outlook, and these important gold
discoveries indicate important possibili-
ties. There is future for Alaska and it
is well that President Mckinley in his
message urges upon congress the exten-
sion of civil authority within this "vast
and remote yet promising portion Of our
country"
The area of Alaska is 5l4, 700 square
miles, being about l, 100 miles long and
it's greatest breadth from east to west
500 miles. With its numerous islands
creeks and iDlets, it has coast range OF
nearly 5000 miles. From the main por-
ton narrow strip about 80 miles wide
extends southeast down the coast and
terminates at the confines of British
Columbia in $40 40 north latitude.
Juneau, the capital, is 100 miles further
south than st. Petersburg, and Finland
extends further north than Alaska and
is inhabited by an intelligent people. If
the new Siberian railway were extended
through Alaska, the greater part of the
territory would be south of the line.
1t is said the climate Of Alaska is not
so severe as that of Siberia, being modi.
fed by the warm ocean current that
washes the shore and passes through
Behring strait. The present movement
will open up that region; and an es-
tablished government will be necessary
as President Mckinley recommends.
