Why should Mark Hannas Dick be
called the hero of Santiago? Let the
Republican press of Ohio answer
Canton News-Democrat.
Aud, pray, who ever called him the
cratic press Of Ohio answer that first.
AS matter Of fact, Col. Dick was a
good soldier in that he did his whole
duty to the best Of his ability. He did
it intelligently aud we'll and whatever
he was called upon to do. He did more
than duty required OF him.-Akron
Beacon-Journal.
Who called him the "hero OF Santi-
ago.? That's easy, The Republican
politicians OF Ohio. But Of course they
say that only because it sounds we'll
and has good effect on certain class
of citizens. You remember what
Barnum once said about hum
bugs and the American people.
Nearly every body who knows any
thing at all about it, knows that Dick
is only sham hero, but then "shams"
is the chief stock Of the Hanna-Cox
combine. Col. Dick may have the ele-
ments of a good soldier, but we have
never heard of his fighting qualities
except in a political campaign in which
Hanna's check book was his chief
weapon. We really don't believe that
Dick was put to the test in the late
Spanish-American war. We have no
information at hand that he even got
near enough to an engagement to
smell powder, but if the Beacon-J ournal
will enumerate the battles in which
Col. Dick took part, we shall be glad
to publish them. The News-Democrat
would not detract from his record as a
soldier, one iota Of the honors he has
justly earned, but it does object to
placing lot of Hanna's underlings on
the list of our real soldier heroes.

HOW TOWNS ARE KILLED BY TRUSTS

What trusts will do can be seen by
comparing the once prosperous Edin-
burg with the now stricken town. In
1891 the National Starch Manufacture
ing Company was formed and began to
absorb planTs in Indiana, Ohio and
other states. The factory in Edinburg
was taken in at $175,00O, when it was
really worth but $l25,000. 1t was
promptly closed down, throwing rs
men out of employment and robbing
the merchants OF 5000 week.
Families moved away, the price OF
starch went up 20 per cent, while corn
decreased 25 per cent and real estate
deprecated. Farmers took their corn
elsewhere and likewise spent their
money in other towns where better
price could be had. The factory build.
ings, which were comparatively new
are rotting down. Madison, Columbus
and Franklin are other places that bave
been affected by this one trust, al
though they have not been so badly
hurC as the little town OF Edinburg.-
st. Louis Republic.
What trusts have done for Edinburg
trusts will do for other towns. There
is not a town or city in the land tha
will not suffer sooner or later from
these immense aggregations Of capital

CHANGE THE DATE.

When the Democratic Central Coun-
ty committee met some time ago and
fixed the date for holding the Demo
cratic primaries in Stark county two
weeks prior to the time of holding the
Democratic State convention, it antici-
pated an earlier date for the state con-
vention, which has since been fixed
for August 2S and 90. This would fix
the time for holding the primaries on
Saturday, August 10, at least two or
three weeks later than anticipated by
the Central committee at the time when
action was taken thereon. The COM
mittee should be called together soon
and the date changed to the latter
part of July or the beginning of Aug
ust. Such action on the part Of the
committee would no doubt meet the ap-
proval OF the candidates and would be
in accord with the wish of the Demo
cratic voters of the county.

ONLY SSS,8T5,9S9.

Only SIS, ,875, ,9S9, is the way the Re-
publican press of the country refers to
the government deficit for the fiscal
year ending July l. The Republicans
are exceedingly we'll pleased that it
does not exceed that amount. But had
the deficit reached $1,000, 900 instead
of $8S 900, 900 it would have been just as
satisfactory to the average Republican
newspaper. A deficiency of nearly $780,
100000, the largest since the close OF
the civil war, over 80 years ago, is treat
ed by the Republican press as a mere
trifle and thing of such insignifcance
as to be hardly worth mentioning or
thinking about. Yet had this occurred
under Democratic administration, a
howl would have been raised by these
very same papers from one end OF the
country to the other. No language could
have been too strong to express their
righteous indignation" at a deficit oi
$S8, 900, 900 under a Democratic admin
istration. But under the Mckinley ad'
ministration, deficit, however large
is looked upon as real blessing. Had
it not been for the receipts from the
war revenues which was expressly lait
to meet this deficit, the amount of the
deficit would have been larger by
about hundred millions. During thC
first two years of the Mckinley admin
istration the deficiency reaches Sl28,
900, 900 and that too in the face o
enormous bond issues, increased tarif
taxes and an unprecedented interna
revenue tax.

HANNA BEHIND IT.

The News-Democrat has repeatedly
called attention to the fact that the Re-
publican papers OF Ohio, and especially
the Hanna organs, have failed to de-
fend Senator Foraker or to say a word
of condemnation against Mr.. Kohlsaat.
That these attacks were inspired by
Mr.. Hanna is no longer doubted and
has been made all the more apparent
by the studied silence OF the Republi-
can press of Ohio. The local Hanna
organ has not written line in defense
of Mr.. Foraker nor has it word to say
in criticism of Mr.. Kohlsaat, the infer
ence OF which Is, that in maintaining
absolute silence, it is simply carrying
out the will of the President and Mr..
Hanna.
Hon. T. H. McConica, one OF the
State Board of Penitentiary Managers,
whose home is at Findiay, speaks the
sentiment of thousands of Republicans
throughout the state, when he says:
"There is something singular and
significant in the fact that not single
Hanna organ in the State of Ohio had
word to say against Kohlsaat or in
defense of Foraker. Either the editors
knew the attacks were inspired by Mr.
Hanna and others, or they took 1t for
granted that they were. 1t may be de-
MED that any one in Ohio had aught tc
do with these assaults directed against
the Senator from Chicago, but the fact
remains that the silence OF the Hanns
organs makes it look as II these papers
thought that Hanna was behind them.

AN ATTACK ON THE ADMINIsTRA
TON.

Mr.. Kohlsaat has been given another
opportunity to attack Mr.. Foraker for
his criticism of the policy of President
Mckinley on the Philippine question.
Mr.. Foraker has from the beginning
opposed the policy of the president as
do thousands of Republicans through
out the land. In his address at FIT
Thomas at the unveiling OF tablets In
memory of Col. Harry O. Egbert, and
of the dead of the Sixth United States
Infantry, Mr.. Foraker took occasion to
praise the Filipinos and to attack the
administration. Among other things
he said, with reference to the ordering
Of Col. Egbert to the Philippines:
"Even before his wound was healed
Col. Egbert, although deservedly pro-
NOTED to be a brigadier general OF the
United States volunteers, was ordered
to report for duty in the far away Phil.

THAT DEFICIT.

"Only $SS, ,000,0 ,0OO" is the way the
Republican press announced the deficit
for the fiscal year ending June 30, This
"only SSS, 100000" seemed so pleasing
that they actually rejoiced and were
glad because it had not reached hun
dred million or more. Well, let us see
how this "only $4,000, 900" was arriv-
ed at.
1t was done by manipulating the cash
book. During the last few days pre-
ceding June 30th, the end Of the fiscal
year, expenditures were held down to
an average of $150,000, when the nor
NAL amount would have been 81 500, 900.
The result was a large daily surplus
and an anticipated deficit of sos, 900, 900
was brought down to about $SS, 900, 900.
The treasury report OF the first day
of the new iscal year shows expen-
ditures of 4,8O3,OO0. Last Friday the
expenditures of the war department
were nothing. Monday they were S1,-
250,0O0. Last Friday pensions were
$1,000, today $2, $780, 900, and so it goes
through the list.
Last week the daily surplus was over
100000. Today the deficit is far
more than a million; and this is the
way the deficiency is "only SSS, 900, ,O00,"
instead of sos, 100000. Watch the de-
ficiency for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1900.

Board of Visitors Will Say
That Stark County Needs
a New Infirmary.

The board of visitors for charitable
and penal institutions for this district
visited the workhouse and infrmary
Wednesday. Those who were present
were: DR.. E. j. March, Mrs. McCul-
Tough Everhard of Massillon, and Mrs.
Josiah Hartzell, of this city. They re-
port that both institutions were in
shape aud the prisoners in as good a
state OF health as was possible. 1t is
probable that the board will make a
recommendation for the enlarging or
rebuilding of the county infirmary, as
they found that place oVercrowded with
inmates, which Is not altogether con-
ducive to the health and comfort of
those who are taken there.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Detroit, July 6,-Ten thousand young
people gathered in tents this morning
for praise service. Other devotional
meetings were held elsewhere. Fifteen
thousand delegates to the Christian En-
deavor convention are now in the
city. The N. Y. delegation this MORN
ing called in body upon the commit
tee on arrangements and lodged pro-
test against the whisky barrels from
which the drinking water on the
grounds is dispensed. The smell of
whisky from the baraels is very no.
ticeable, but the committee ignored the
protest of the New Workers.

Navesink Highland, N. Y. July g.
The start in the race between the De-
fender and Columbia was made at one
o'clock this afternoon. At 1:03 both
boats were starting west, the Columbia
slightly to the windward. At 1:05 af-
ter the port tack by both, the Colum-
bia is leading although the Defender
apparently crossed the line first. At
1:0S both boats are standing in shore,
the Columbia windward. At Ills both
boats went to the southeast and have
disappeared in the haze.

Mr.. Grosvenor's attack on John
Sherman has aroused old "Honest
John" but he is too feeble to strike
back. There are great number OF

Is habit that Is universally INDUCED

opposite. Coffee upsets the stomach,
ruins the digestion, effects the heart
and disturbs the whole nervous system.

EXTRAVAGANT ADMINISTRATION.
The public will not be fooled, Mr..
McKinleys administration is the most
eXtravagant on record. In the civil
and miscellaneous expenditures an in
crease OF $23, 900, 900 is shown, while the
expenditures for public buildings and
river and harbor improvements Is
largely in excess of last year. These
last two items foot up into the millions
and are distinctly political expendi-
lures, the alleged improvements to
many OF the creeks and basins of the
country being solely the result of polit-
ical pulls to put heelers to work for
| favOrs received. Outside of New York
and one or two large cities the expendi-
ture for public buildings, like that for
harbOr improvements, was a willful
waste OF public money and was made
more from political than from business
reasons. The war expenditures for 1893
are made, like charity, to cover up the
deficit, caused largely by extravaganza

brave, 80 far as disregard

as It was in ancient times 80 it Is in

long spears, undertook to stand before

Referring to our policy toward the
Philippines, Senator Foraker said:
"Our pledge must be kept by the
prompt establishment and prompt rec
ognition Of an Independent government
for the republic OF Cuba, and after
which, and not before, we can, with
honor, consider the question of annex
