Cold Ten for SoILIera.

Now that alcohol has been tabooed
In the army and navy OF some Of the
leading nations of the world, the ques-
tion has arisen what is the best drink
with which the soldier n quench
his thirst? Many distinguished Indian
commanders have testified in favor OF
tea as n thirst-allayer when on n long
march in equatorial lands. The men

The Funeral of Jacob eelb.

Probably the largest attendance at
any funeral which ever took place in
Louisville was that over the remains Of
county treasurer Jacob Geib on wednes.
day, the 9th Of July. The citizens Of
the village were mourners and business
was suspended. The country people
were largely in attendance as was evi.
denced by the conveyances in the pro.
cession and those which lined the streets
all about. A large crowd went from
Canton, the g. A. R., Post Of which
the deceased was member, turned out
numerously. The Offices in the court
house were closed and the officials, as
we'll as other citizens added to the
crowd, marching in line after the g. A.
r. from the Louisville station.
The services were held at the "Pro-
gressive" Dunkard church, of which
congregation the deceased was men,
Der. 1t is scarcely necessary to say the
church wes crowded almost to sufioca
ton, and then accommodating but a
part Of those in attendance. Opportu-
nifty was given to view the remains, and
this took some time. All that was NOR
tai Of Jacob Geib were, late in the af-
ternoon, placed in the beautiful Union
cemetery east of the town a mile or
more. The universal feeling was grief
at the loss of so worthy a man, taken
of ere he had completed sixty years,
and in the midst of his usefulness and

otherwise. But such is the fate OF man,

ing for some three years in the hills and
swamps Of eastern Cuba. They surely
deserve credit for carrying on war under
such circumstances with powerful foe
in full power All this should not be
forgotten by Americans, and disparag-
ing remarks need not be INDUCED in at
their appearance and condition.
We read Of Washington's army being in
a tattered and deplorable condition and
the enemies Of that day turned up their
delicate noses. Americans ought not to
condemn or make light of these Cubans.
They have maintained themselves re-
markably under very adverse circum-
stances. General Shafter in his letter
to General Garcia, does not agree with
those who disparage the Cuban soldiers.
General shafter says: Full credit h g
been given to you and your valiant men
in my report to my government, and I
wish to acknowledge to you the great
and valuable assistance you rendered
during the campaign" These words
ought not to be forgotten, for they
come fiom high authority.

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.

A tavorite expression in referring to
our system Of government is, "a govern.
ment of the people, by the peor4e and
for the people," But, really, consider
ing our fins ncisl legislation, our govern
ment has been run wholly in the inter
est Of the money class, regardless of the
people ana the general welfare.
These things ought not so
to be, but that they are
is the general conviction; and the
condition of the country for years past,
with the results transpiring, has brought
matters home in a realizing sense to
people engaged in useful lines of life.
ALI this too regardless Of political affilia.
tions. Truly, truly
Government by the people,
etc, sounds we'll, but the fnan.
rial legislation referred to, has been
in spite of and unknown till after, by
the American people. "The people be
smned," said one of these tricksters.
All this financial scheming has been
neither with the knowledge nor assent
of the people. 1t has been trickery and
deception throughout. The tortuous
and deceptive courses Of political leaders
have been worthy Of old Nick himself,
according to the olden pictures.
The last jig wes the international plan,
but the schemers becoming alarmed took
steps themselves to cause failure. Mr..
Gage, Secretary of the U. S. treasury,
was the representative money magnate
Of the administration to help the con.
clusion. The American people in the
Presidential election took stock in the
international fraud-and this is the re-
suit And the Republican Leagues say:
"Amen, so be 1t, as the money gods or.
dain it," How beautifully submissive !
"Trnth, Justice and the Constitution, "
is an expressive American motto from
away back. But there Is neither truth,
justice nor the constitution in such ras.
cality. But II We trust the rascals we
must take the consequences. The mass
of our Republican friends fully realize
the situation as we'll as do other people.
The whole thing is trickery and treach-
cry, and base betrayal Of the people.
The agents and instruments in this evil
policy and iniquitous rule, are bold in
their rascality, and propose to force the
American people to submit and endorse
their iniquities. Hence the proclama
ton of the Republican Leagues in their
late National convention at Omaha. 1t
is best to be on the look out for these
manipulations. Money is a power and
operates clandestinely and in all i'm.
portant channels.

UNCLE SANS SPRING CLEANING.

And all the cleaning hitherto has been a
sham:
II is time for my spring cleaning-and hope

For I'm going TO clean 'em out" says Uncle

And I'm going to rinse 'em down,
And I'm going to soak 'em out,

And I'll do handsome job with my scrub

And I'll give different aspect to the scene.

And guess rubbed it in,
And guess swashed 'em off and made 'em

And when I've mopped 'em dry with my

There'll be a different aspect to the scene.
"And I'll clean of Porto Rico and I'm going
to wipe it dry,
And poor, flth.infested Cuba must be clean
Four hundred years OF lumber that its rubbish

If you want you'll see it burn like kerosene
And guess I'll soap 'em down,
And guess I'll scour 'em off,
And I guess I'll turn my hose on at full

And then, when I'm through, then old Cuba
will be new,
And there won't be any rubbish heaps Of
Spain.

her Off the seas,
And I'll cleanse the cluttered islands of the

stitution for state, the instrument Is
usually submitted to vote Of the peo.
pie, and in many cases special features
are voted upon with view of determin.
ing whether these features shall be
part of the fundamental law. In such
cases, if the referendum prevailed, party
lines cannot be enforced as they are in
voting for ticket made up of nominees
Of political party. We hear much of
party platforms, but political parties
must be, and are in time, j1dged by
their measures Of public policy. By
these they ultimately stand or fall.
The alien and sedition laws of the
federal party hundred years ago, with
their high handed tyranny and terror
ism, broke the back Of old federalism,
and elected Mr., Jefferson, and four
years later he was reelected without
much opposition. The federal party's
opposition to the war Of 1872 extin-
guished what was left of it, During
the Jackson period, and after, party

and it too gave up the ghost. After
this, in few years, the American or
Know Nothing party and the Anti.
Slavery and free soil elements united
under the cognomen Of the Republican
party, in due time after which came on
the "late unpleasantness, of which all

Should the American people, for in

the question of paper money, as to
whether the government should issue it
and circulate and hand 1t over 10 the
banks to loan out to the people-can
any one doubt the result of the vote on

direction of government by the people
Again, if not, why notP
If United States Senators we're elected
by the people Of each state, instead of
being chosen by the General Assemblies
thereof, it would surely be an improve
ment. The members OF the Legislature
would not need to sell themselves to
vote for mere money magnate, or
some servile instrument of money and
other trusts. Here again would be
step toward government of the people,
by the people and for the people. No
American, openly at least, opposes the
principle of government by the people.
Even royalty in Europe in almost every
kingdom has been obliged to recognize
the potency of the people, The kings
find it safer to have Parliament to get
behind. Russia is an exception and the
consequence is that the Gear takes risks,
and one occasionally is assassinated.
The one man power is dangerous every
way these days, The appointing power
Of our President should be largely cur
tailed. The road to safety is that which
leads to the People.

WILLIAM EwART GLADsToNE-A BI
oGRAPHICAL STUDY,

Is the title of large and splendid
volume of near 400 pages by the dis.
tingushed divine, author and lecturer,
Frank Wakeley G1nsaulus, d. D., of
Chicago.
The work is published by the Chas.
B. Aver Co. Of Chicago, and the volume
in every respect Is credit to the house
and in truth would be credit to any
establishment.
Mr.. Aver visited Canton a short time
since, for IT was here he spent his boy
hood and early years and was initiated
nto the art typographical in the Demo-
crat office, OF course Charlie called to
see his old friends who we'll and favora.
bly, remembered him. He then spoke
to us Of the life OF Gladstone just out
and to be sold as subscription work
with copy Of which he has just favor.
ed us, .he following letter accompany.
ing:
Chicago, July 26, 1898.
Hon. A. McGregor, Canton, o.
Dear Mr.. McGregor:-We forward to
your address today by Adams Express,
prepaid, copy of the biographical
study of Gladstone" by DR.. Gunsaulus,
work which we know you will appre-
ciate. Sincerely yours,
q. 8. AVER, Mgr.
On the title page is the line: "You
cannot fight against the future. Time
is on our side. ."-Gladstone.
And the following extract is given on
a page otherwise blank:
"It is better to write one word upon
the rock, than thousand on the water
or the sand; better to remove single
stray stone out Of the path that mounts
the hill Of true culture, than to hew out
miles Of devious tracks, which mislead
and bewilder US when we travel them,
and make US more than content If We
are fortunate enough to fnd, when we
emerge out of their windings, that we
have simply returned to the point, in
our age, from which, in sanguine youth,
we set out. ."-Glsdstone.
Gladstone is household name with
us In the United States. In fact he
seems to be one of ourselves. He was a
reformer, prudent reformer, for he
we'll knew. how things are set and
hedged in Great Britain and that dis
cretion was advisable.
This book will no doubt have large
sale and it Is only sold by subscription.
Every reading person will want it, and
it is sold, cheap, the price varying &C.
cording to the binding. The name and
fame of the author, as we'll as the at.
tractive volume with its fine illustra
tions should, and doubtless will, give it
rapid sale.
