STRIKES IN OHIO.
columbus Press-Post.

Secretary Joseph Bishop, Of the
Ohio board of arbitration, Is quoted as
saying that never since the board OF
which he Is a member has been in ex-
istence, have there been so many
strikes in operation In Ohio as just
now. Mr.. Bishop was first appointed
to the position he now holds by Mr..
Mckinley when he was the governor OF
this state. He had been a valuable
witness before congressional commit
tees when they were securing material
to use as foundation for the Mckinley
tariff law, and has long been close
friend of the President. 1t Is not like
ly that he would make any statement
that might reflect adversely upon the
administration OF President Mckinley
unless truth compelled him. 1t shows
that the employers benefited under
the special tariff and monetary laws
and commended by Pres
ident Mckinley, do not share fairly
with their employees in the increased
remuneration of their investments.
This is what the Democratic party has
always claimed. Make laws to espec
tally benefit the capitalists and their
employees will have to fight for all they
get.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-08-08

are In this country enough Democrats
to elect president. It depends upon
themselves whether they get together
or not. The Democrats of Wisconsin,
through their committee, have marked
out line OF action which may be fol-
lowed with profit by Democrats of other
commonwealths and by the Democracy
Of Kentucky In particular.
The Wisconsin Democrats abate none
OF their loyalty to Mr.. William j.
Bryan or to the Chicago platform.
They specifically reiterate their al
legiance to the ticket and the prin-
ciples OF 1896. But they do not pur-
pose to ALLEVIATE those democrats who
differ from them on the currency ques-
tion by making that question the
| touchstone Of democracy. They recog-
niZe that there are other Issues equally
important and far more pressing upon
which democrats can and should unite.
Imperialism, militarism, the tariff,
the trusts and the income tax are the
questions which will dominate the next
presidential campaign. The currency
question will be subordinate for the
sufficient reason that that question
cannot be reopened for at least six
years, though the democracy should
have the president and the house Of
representatives. The senate would de-
feat any legislation for the rehabilfta-
tion OF silver. Hence TO make the
fight npon that issue alone
would merely be to waste
energy upon question which,
though still alive, Is temporarily in
abeyance. The currency bridge can be
crossed when 1t is reached. In the
meantime, as the Wisconsin Democrats
point out, 1t Is necessary that the party
should be unified upon the other great
| issues, and advance with unbroken
ranks to meet the common enemy.
federation is the first requisite. In
the language OF the Wisconsin address,
'men should be placed at the head Of
local organizations whose purpose and
object 1t will be to strengthen and
| build up the Democratic party by in
viting unity of action, by listening to
the views of their fellow Democrats
| with respect; tolerant yet firm in the
advocacy OF Democratic principle, en-
deavoring at all times to unite the
Democracy instead Of pursuing a course
which might divide the party"
This is platform upon which, all
Democrats can stand. And If such q
policy be adopted there can be no
doubt, as the committee declares, that
the Democracy will enter the campaign
with solid front and emerge from 1t
victorious. There is no necessity for
undemocratic alliances If the orthodox
members of the party can be un-
tied under one leadership. The Demo-
cratic party Of the United States is in
the majority II 1t can be got together.
We commend the address of the Wis
consin committee to the attention Of
Democrats wherever found. 1t outlines
plan OF campaign upon which the
Democracy will win II it is to win at
all. Dissension, prescription and in
tolerance can result only in defeat.

There was lack of woman's cooking-tot

But a comrade bent beside him to hear what
he might say,
The comrade, he was all bent up, ne had il

And he said, Beware of Algers beef, pressed

Take a message and token to some distant

For was fed on putried beef not Bacon on

"When you break the news to mother give
her this can of beef,
A token from my knapsack may bring some
relief,
For if without funeral her sorrows can't be
calmed,
Just bury this instead of me, for it has been
embalmed.
And have them dig the grave as deep, yea,
deeper than man,
And if my Billy goats alive, don't let him get
the can.
Then on the tombstone don't forget, to add
one little line,
Explaining it was putried beef, not Bacon on

mourn, and sob and cry,
For, though was soldier boy and not afraid
to die.
Yet am even robbed Of chance for glory by

And if they do not bury this but hang it on

To show to friends and relatives whenever

Rennes, Aug. THE trial Of Captain
Alfred Dreyfus began at I o'clock this
morning. Everything was keyed to
the event. Troops were present and
the crowds came early. The whole
scene, except for the barricade, re-
minded one Of the scene about the Gin
cinnati court house after the riots of
1884. The morning was bright and
warm. Dreyfus was transferred from
the military prison across the street to
the Lycee, where the trial is held, at 6
o'clock. Policemen walked on either
side OF him. Murmurs OF curiosity
arose from the crowd as he passed, but
there was no demonstration. The Ly-
Gee, or city school is large building
built around small court. The hall
in which the trial is held is q good type
OF the school assembly room, although
higher aud ornate than Is usual in
school buildings. The judges,
when they took their places,
looked much in earnest, but
trifle nervous. 1t was few minutes
past seven when Captain Dreyfus, who
was sitting to the right of the court,
was ordered to stand, and the act of ac-
cusing him Of betraying French mill
tary secrets to foreign power was
read. At the conclusion OF this, the
prisoner gave his name, age, and grade,
and said, 81 am Captain Alfred Drey-
fus, who Is named In this accusation"
After considerable ceremony and red
tape, the reading of the act OF accusa-
tioD, which Is identical with the charge
of the first court martial was resumed
and took half an hour. At the conclu-
sion the prisoner was ordered to stand
and Col. Jouast said:
captain Dreyfus, you have heard
the accusation, do you recognize this?"
(Handing him the Bordereau)
Dreyfus: 81 do not"
Jouast: SIS this your work."
Dreyfus: "It is not. I am innocent"
