STEUBENVILLE INDUSTRIAL

Special to the Register
Steubenville, o., July 9.-The Acme
Glass Works has shut down for the usual
summer stop. The past fire has been the
most successful in the history of the
Acme. The Steubenville Rod and Gun
Club composed of Acme men has gone
into camp at Sandusky.
Jap Austin, a glass blower, and j. Ross
Manley, a mold maker, are here from
Marion, Ind, on a visit. Manley leaves
in a week on a trip to Scotland. From
Dunkirk, Ind, Philip Dignan, Jr., and
Thomas Kelley, with his family both
glass blowers, have arrived in Steuben-
VILE for visit. Jno. j. Brannegan, who
was blowing chimneys at Montreal, is
here for the summer.
The Steubenville pottery has closed
down for some weeks, the usual summer
stop.
Your correspondent had talk this
week with several prominent glass blow
ers in regard to what figure the proposed
machine made chimney will cut next fire,
end they think it will not interfere with
hem for number of reasons. The main
reason is that durable chimney, one
that is not brittle and will stand the sud-
den application of heat when lamp has
BEEN lighted has not been made and can
MOI be turned out on the machine. They
compare off-hand chimneys as made by
blowers and the machine made chimneys
t. ne difference between wrought and
-. iron. These chimney workers have
.,en machine made chimneys and they
az that while some of the chimneys
-.ssa.: all right as to shape, most of them
ia not blow up and presented a crude
appearance. The fact that manufacturers
as general thing have refused to pur-
chase the machines the chimney workers
claim Is sufficient evidence that the ma
chine has not been brought to state OF
perfection.

Poor Kate Vaughn is breaking very
rapidly" writes a London correspondent,
land you need not be surprised to hear of
her death before many days The fitful
and variegated career of the original
skirt dancer is a startling object lesson
for the Needless frivolous young women
of the stage. In fact, it teaches a whole
bunch of lessons, none of which, OF
course, will ever be needed in the slight
est degree. A singularly beautiful and
graceful woman, with a mysteriously ac-
quired charm and distinction of manner,
for her origin was obscure, Kate Vaughn
was the idol of London's aristocratic fast

The Redistricting Bill.

A bill to change the lines Of the second,
third, fourth and Fl fth congressional districts
is now pending in the Senate. and the Demo
Gratis should see that no partisan advantage
is accomplished.
The second congressional district is laid off
in the bill as follows
''The twelfth, fifteenth, sixteenth and sew
enteenth wards of Baltimore city, Cecil, Har
ford and Carroll counties, the second, third.
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth districts of Balti
more county.
The four wards of Baltimore city, proposed
to be incorporated in this district in the last
mayoralty election gave 1861 majority. The
balance Of the district last year gave Demo
cratic majority of 1857 According to the
vote of 1897 The district would be Republican
by nearly 900. This arrangement takes from
the district city wards and precincts that gave
1898 Republican majority, and substitutes city
wards with Republican majority of 1861.
These matters should be closely looked into,
and also the matter ofpopulation. II is likely
the addition of one ward extra makes the
population very disproportionate to other dis
tricts. If the Republicans have the votes to
carry the congressional districts under a fair
re. distrcting bill, let them do so, but no UNI
fair advantage should be permitted.

The School Board.

The Sentinel last week again read Dr.
Reindollar, School Commissioner, out OF the
Republican party. 1t says that the Doctor
and Mr. Prugh were not appointed upon
Republican recommendation. 1t is quite
probable that these gentlemen did not need
any certiication as to their standing as Re-
publicans from the young men now running
the party in Carroll, and the absence OF 1t did
not convert them into Democrats. The
school system was supposed to be entirely
out of politics, and the duty Of the Commls-
sioners was to secure a competent executive
head and assistant, and to eXpend the money
appropriated for schools to the best advantage.
The Republicans, it seems, and the Sentinel,
regard the public school system as political
machine and want to seize and use it to the
advantage, not of public education, but of the
Republican party.
The Sentinel says:
NO member of the board was appointed upon
Republican recommendation. One of the men,
bers classed as Republicans voted, as far as KNOWN
with the democratic members against the wishes
of the party to which he was credited, whenever an
issue in which any political sentiment was inyov-
ed came before the board and the other so-called
Republican did the same thing on nearly all such
occasions. 1t utterly unfair to charge either OF
these gentlemen TO the Republican party as its
representative on the board One of them has re-
tired and his place is taken by Republican. The
other remains and taking his past record as a cri-
TETON of his future action can be depended upon to
vote on every subject which may arise before the
board with his Democratic associate
1t is difficult to understand how political
questions can arise in the school board, un
less the school system is to be carried into
partisan politics. If this is the purpose the
Republican have in view they can appoi mt
partisan Republican school trustees and these
in turn can appoint only Republicans as
teachers, as was the case when the Republi
cans had control in Maryland from 1864 to
1867.
As the selection of Examiner, the compe-
tency of candidates, not their politics, should
be considered. And when one has been
chosen and his COMPETENCY been fully proven,
we submit that he should be continued. Ere
quent changes are not beneficial to the school
system: in fact they are detrimental.
The Republicans, however seem to regard
the public school system as the legitimate
spoils of politics, and propose to use 1t to the
best advantage in promoting Republican as
cendancv. Otherwise. they would not be so
interested having the school board nearly
unanimously Republican. No sane man
would call one out of six minority repreSen a
ton. and the disappointment CT Mr.. Grimes is
only sham and pretence. tInless change
is made, Mr. Grimes should decline to serve,
and then the board will be considered and
treated as II partisan Republican machine.
