Ii any Ohio man has copy of Allen
o. Myers book, bosses and boodle.n -
he can probably get a good price for it
by applying TO the treasurer of John r.
Mclean Campaign Committee. Myers
book Is Il very damaging document, and
1T is not surprising that every copy OF
it that can be gotten hold of is being
chucked into the furnace as quickly as
possible, 1t is In that publication that
Myers says of Mclean, whose election
heis now espousing, He has no morals;
he is stranger TO sentiment; he is not
deferred by scruples. Ii he has an OBJ
ject in view, and has money to buy il
and wants TO buy it, In his creed OF life nc
law, no man, no community has right
toquestion his act; he believes every
man has his price"

LIGHTS AND WATER WORKS.

The citizens OF Perrysburg will be
called upon to vote upon a project of
bonding the town for the purpose Of
establishing a plant 10 furnish electric
lights and water works system
Tor the village of Perrysburg.
For some time past the people have
been demanding improvements Of this
kind and the village council have been
asked to furnish them, but as yet
nothing has been done In that direc-
tlon, and perhaps for good reason, one
of the most important being the fact
that the people are divided las usually
upon the best method OF procedure,
and it is very likely that If the coun-
Gil should adopt either plan the oppo-
sition would be so strong that the life
of IA councilman "would not be happy
one"
There are many people who believe
the. village would be the winner by
bonding the town for $4,000 for the
purpose of establishing water works
plant and an electric light plant, be-
lieving the revenue derived there
from would eventually clean up the
debt and bring in an annual income TO
the village, and call attention to the
fact that such is the result OF munic-
ipal ownership of similar plants in
other towns and cities.
There is also another side to the
question. There are many people who
point to other villages and towns where
such attempts have been made at mu-
nicipal ownership of such plants, where
they have proven to be veritable
"white elephants" and a great burden
to the taxpayer of the towns where
located.
The experience OF Perrysburg in
such matters has certainly not been
very satisfactory to say the least, and
while many may believe it possible
that such plants can be made paying
! Investments, there exists u fear that
Perrysburg's past experience will be
repeated in the future, and the only
avoid danger"
1t has been proven by bids recently
received that it will require not less
than $1,000 per apnum to light our viii
lage by electricity, and the question is
do the people want to pay $4,000 a
year into the bands of an individual
or do they want to take the risk OF in
vesting $4,000 in a corporation plant.
The 4th day OF September, 1897 is the
day designated by the council as the
date for the people to express their
choice by ballot (see election notice in
another column) and every citizen
should cast his ballot according to his
belief of what is best for the village
and let the majority rule. Whatever
may he the result of the ballot let
that choice be the choice of the people
and let harmony prevail for once in the
village of Perrysburg in relation to
village legislation and improvements.

A dollar a word is pretty good price
for talking. Fifteen hundred words
make very fair-sized speech, and it is
said that this is the price that ex-can-
didate Bryan has demanded for making
a speech at the forthcoming silver

evident Mr.. Bryan has come TO the con-

The men who are opposed to the Re
publican party, whether they operate
under the name of silver Democrats or
silver Republicans, are beginning to
look for new issue. They evidently
recognize the fact that the silver
proposition has gone gllmmering.
Senator Stewart is quoted as saying,
"There is nothing in talking silver at
the present time, and my adYice to my
friends in the west is to fall into line
with the forces of prosperity and re-
ceive their due share of the reward.n

MAD MINERS
Threaten to Extinguish an Anti Debts
Watchman

SACRAMENTO, June1j-The execu-
tive committee of the State Anti-Debris
association held its regular monthly
meeting today.
\ sample of water was submitted from
the Joubert mine in Nevada county.
which showed that small stones were
passing over the dam. This mine has
filled up all the restraining reservoirs
and now the debris from the mine pass
ed unobstructed over the dam A re-
quest was made that the permit granted
to this mine be revoked. Samples OF
water taken at the different mines were
also presented, and they show that
many of the dams erected are provir {
insufficient to restrain the debris from
the mines.
Mr.. Devlin reported that he had jus It

INSURANCE RATES
Show the Effects of Refusal to
Combine

STOCKTON, June 15.-Local agents
of insurance companies returned tonight
and say their matters are not settled
and will not be for week. They were
with the executive committee Of the
compact two days and made certain con-
cessions as to cutting their commission
to Is per cent and reporting their nom
board business, but insist that the COM
panies shall not do overhead insurance
ard there shall be one agent for each
company in Stockton. They say the
rates and agents here still are suspend
ed and the specials now here are cutting
rates and trying to hurt the business Of
the local men. Grain insurance was
taken today by specials for 20 cents,
while the regular rate is $1.6O. The feel
ing is yet bitter and local agents will
continue to do business through nom
board companies. The compact repre-
sentatives stood firm and will lay the
matter before the general board of un-
derwriters at its next meeting, a week
hence.

IRISH POLITICS
The Queens Congratulatory Address
TO Be Amended

DUBLIN. June ia largely attended
meeting CT the Irish Independent leagu.
was held here today. John Redmond
NJ. P, III the course of an impassioned
speech, denounced Michael Davitt's
foolish and vindictive" policy of op-
posing Mr.. Balfour's local government
scheme Dealing with the abstention
from the jubilee festivities which the
recent Irish manifesto had enjoined up
on Irish members of parliament and
Irishmen generally, Redmond announced
that the Irish party had determined to
move in the house Of commons an
amendment to the addres of congratu-
lation to her majesty. The purport of
the amendment, he said, would be that,
while other parts of the empire were
prosperous and contented, Ireland was
suffering from misgovernment, depopu-
lation and famine, with the result that
the Irish people were discontented and
disaffected, and that the only remedy
for this deplorable condition of thibIs
was the concession of Ireland's demands
for national self-government
This announcement was received with
wild cheering.

to 1H cents a pound to have the house
rate restored, and even to secure the
restoration of the rate of the Wilson law,
which is y of cent pound The con-
test, in general way, is between the
smelters, who want to secure the f1ux-
ing ores from Mexico, and the miners
of these ores in idaho, Montana, Colo
RADIO and other lead producing states
OF the west. The smelling interest was
represented at tonight's meeting by
Senator Thurston of Nebraska and Sem
ator Baker of Kansas, and the mining
Interest by Senator Carter of Montana
and Senator Shoup of Idaho. 1t was
represented on behalf of the smelters
that if the duty was retained as pro-
vided by the finance committees amend
ment the result would be to drive most
of the American smelters out of exist
ence and add immensely to the smelt-
ing interest of Mexico. On the other
hand, Senator Carter contended that
the western miners were entitled to pro-
lection against the peon labor of Mex
leo. He said that the decentralization of
silver had worked sufficient hardships
without imposing this additional one.
The committee reserved its decision.
