THE CANTON RIPPER,

1t seems is the production of Mayor
Young, of Akron, and this gentleman
and Representative Kemperly, of Sum-
nifty county, were in Canton on Satur-
day consulting This ripper affair sp-
plies to Akron, youngstown and Can
ton. We are not aware that more than
two or three gentlemen of Canton favor
the passage Of this monstrosity. Ger
tainly the citizens of Canton have not
asked for this ripping arrangement.
The object OF the bill, in briet. is to
give additional power to the mayor; to
give that functionary control of
all city affairs, and authorize him
to appoint cabinet OF three
members, one for each depart.
ment Of city business, aud with power
to appoint chiefs and uperintendents
of various divisions. All this would add
considerably to the expenses of the city,
as was shown in the News Democrat two
weeks or so ago.
This proposed measure has not been
asked for by citizens of Canton, and if
submitted to vote, as is talked o., we
are confident it would be repudiated
overwhelmingly. The prevailing idea is
that there is scheme in it, and our
people are not in favor of this ripper to
help on any scheme or trick.
The claim is that we need better man
agement in municipal affairs. This may
be true, and the proper remedy is to ex-
ercise more care in the men we elect to
manage these matters. What assurance
have we that things would be better un-
der mayor with full and absolute con-
troll? Have our mayors shown them
selves to be the men to enforce the laws
without fear or favor, and regardless of
consequences? With all due respect
our citizens know that mayors are but
men and fallible like the rest of US.
One part of this bill is to extend the
may yor's term for the best part of year.
We are glad this scheme is receiving
attention from and being discussed by
our citizens, The plan was to rush it
through the general assembly without a
clause requiring it be submitted to a
vote, but the promise is that such a
clause will be added as an amendment.
1t is always safe and proper to submit
a measure to a direct vote of the people
interested, This referendum should get
into general use, for representatives
sometimes misrepresent, and any way
legislatures are uncertain at times.
Where possible, it is we'll to have people
express themselves on measures per.
tanning to themselves. So let our legis-
lature give the citizens of Canton
chance TO express themselves on this
ripper scheme.

The Scotch sometimes protest Re-
Gently petition has been sent to the
queen "from her Scottish subjects" !"
signed by l04, 1888 of all ranks and classes
and conditions, vigorously protesting
against the growing use of the words
England" and English" instead of
"Great Britain" and "British," in
treaties, speeches from the throne and
other official documents, as "a direct ag-
gression on the national honor OF Scot.
land and excessively irritating to all
Scotchmen who have regard for the
honor of their country" Quotations
are given from the Queens speeches OF
January, 1896 and 1897, where ENG
lish" and England are used instead OF
"British" and Britain" together with
some half hundred similar cases cited
from treaties and other official acts, in
cluding the following monumental in,
scription; "In honor of the English,
French andRussians who fell in the battle
ofInkerman, November 5, 1854" AS the
Scotch Highlanders cut an important
figure in this, as in other battles of the
Crimea, the petitioners do not take it
kindly that on monument erected by
the British army the narrower instead
of the broader word should be used.
The petition points out, too, that this
official substitution Of the words ENG
land" and English" is wholly contrary
to law, and extracts in proof thereof are
quoted from the act of Parliament OF
1907 "ratifying and approving the treaty
of union of the two kingdoms of Scot,
land and England"
The protesters have undoubtedly the
law on their side. There was much op.
position to the union, for it obliterated
the Scottish parliament and hence Scot
land as an independent country. The
term Great Britain was adopted to
soften and mollify matters.

Of course the debt was paid. All this
shows that those governments are in the

the French government to step in and

If any nation has right to settle this
Cuban question, it is this. The people
of Cuba and this country are the inter
ested parties. Until this trouble our
trade with Cuba ran about a hundred
millions a year. Ia 1893 we imported
from Cuba SIS, ,7O6, 500 worth Of produc,
and exported $24, ,157 sos worth of goods
but the entire trade in 1897 was only

While consumption and dyspepsia are

These men loaned their money to

INTERvEN NrION

Seems to be the policy determined upon
by President Mckinley, after consulting
history and international law. This
conclusion seems to agree with the pre-
vailing opinion among members of con-
gress,
International law recognizes as fun.
damental principle that no government
has the right to interfere in the affairs
of another, even for the settlement of an
insurrection, except for the protection
Of its own citizens or on the broad
ground of humanity to prevent unneces-
sary slaughter or suffering. Spain will
not or cannot relieve the starvation and
distress of her own subjects, and is not
able to put down the insurrection either
by diplomatic negotiation or force Of
arms. Both methods have been tried
and have failed. After fighting for
three years the Spanish authorities
changed their policy and offered conces.

surrender, which the Cubans refused to
accept

ings. England, France and Russia in
/ 527 interested themselves in behalf of
Greece, and with their united fleets
fought battle against superior force
from the Ottoman empire, which re-
suited in the liberation of Greece
This action is known as the battle Of
Navarino. Admiral Todrington was IN

French and eight Russian. The Turk

and craft of all sorts; but these were
almost entirely destroyed by the allied

examined and briefs prepared,
1t is well to be fortified in this case Of
Cuba by citing precedepts that will ap

the independence Of Cuba would be q
weaker position than to interfere and
, put stop to the starvation Of men, wo

to approve, This really seems to be
the duty of this country and the proper
course to pursue. All must admit that
something should be done-and done al

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, 1t needs help. The help it needs,
is to digest your food, and, until it gets
it, you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obstin.
ate, very dangerous. Many Of the most
dangerous diseases begin with simple in
digestion. The reason is that indiges-
iion (not-aigeshon, not-nourishment)
weakens the system and allows disease
germs to attack 1t. The antidote is
Shaker Digestive Cordial, strengthening,
nourishing, curative. 1t cures indiges-
ton and renews streng IN and health. 1t
does this by strengthening the stomach,
by helping 1t to digest your food, 1t
nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cordial
is made OF pure herbs, plants and wine,
Is perfectly harmless and will certainly
cure all genuine stomach trouble. Sold
