ENGLAND FOR PEACE.
Salisbury Promised Co-Opera-
ton With the Gar.
FAVORABLE TO THE CONFERENCE,
He Promised Represeutatlon-If the Dis
armament Plan Succeeds, IL Was Felt
That the Gar WIN Have Earned the
Gratitude of the World.

LONDON, Jan. THE reply of Lord
Salisbury to the proposal of Emperor
Nicholas for disarmament conference
of the powers, which was published,
promised the cordial cooperation of the
British government and asked for an
indication of the heads of the discus.
sion at the conference.
He went on to say: "This sym pathy
is not confined to the government, but
is equally shared by popular opinion,
which has been strikingly manifested
by the numerous resolutions adopted by
public meetings and societies. There
are, indeed, few nations, if any, which,
both ON grounds of feeling and interest,
are more concerned in the maintenance
ef general peace than Great Britain.
The statements which constitute the
grounds of the emperors proposal are
but too well justified.
"lt is unfortunately true that, while
a desire for the maintenance of peace Is
generally professed and while in fact
serious and successful efforts on more
than one recent occasion have been
made with that object by the great
powers, there has been constant
IenueuCy Oh Jne pdTJ OF dlnOSV every
nation to increase its armed force and
add to the already vast expenditure on
the appliances OF war.
"The perfection Of the instruments
thus brought into use, their extreme
costliness and the horrible carnage and
destruction which would ensue from
their employment on large scale have
acted, no doubt. as a serious determent
from war, but the burden imposed by
this process ON the populations effected
must, if prolonged, produce feeling Of
unrest and discomfort, menaoing to
both internal and external tranquility.
Her majesty's government will
gladly cooperate with the proposed ef-
fort to provide a remedy for the evil;
and if in any degree it succeeds, they
feel that the sovereign to whose sug-
gestion it is due will have richly earned
the gratitude of the world at large"
Lord Salisbury then promises that
delegate and representative will take
part in the proposed conference when
ever the invitation is received and ex-
presses the hope that the invitation may
be accompanied by some indication of
the special points to which the atten-
ton of the conference is to be directed
as guide in the selection of the British
representative and his assistants.

THE OPEN DOOR.

"The open door" is new phrase, at
least new in its application, meaning
freedom Of trade, unfettering con.
merce, abolishiDg restrictions such as
protective tariffs impose.
Nov that the United States has got
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
Hawaii, other nations are somewhat
anxious to know whether this country
will bring these islands under our re-
strictive tariff policy.
he open door as to China has been
much talked Of lstsly, Great Britain
leading the way, when Russia was aim.
ing and plotting to control China, cut
out Britain and monopolize the China
trade. Great Britain leads in the
Chinese trade and the United States
comes next. So that there is naturally
q desire for common action on behalf Of
freedom of trade with China on the part
Of Britain and ourselves.
Britain is not afraid Of competing with
other nations for the China or any
other trade. Her policy Is the open
door the world over. She has large
trade with the Philippines and is
naturally anxious for fair show under
our management, and certainly an open
door policy would be advisable aud 1t
would tend to disarm animosity all
round. Liberality and fair dealing will
please when the contrary would dis.
please. 1t would please Britain to have
the United States join in common ac-
ton toward China in favor of the open
door policy.
The treaty Is now before the Senate,
having been sent In on Wednesday bv
the President and submitted without
an advisory or suggestive message. The
problem is before the senate for solu-
tion, whether the Philippines should be
governed by autocratic rule or by con.
stitutional amendment and restricted
suffrage, Wilt time, be made manifest
In Hawaii it looks like restricted suf
fra0e, which is the supremacy of the
white race. For time, as at present in
the Philippines, it will be military
rule, and there may be developmentI
that will open our eyes. The outlook

We know little OF the Filipinos and
thev are not much acquainted with us
as vet; but 1t seems they have had fol
some time government of their owr
to which thev have been giving a fail
measure Of support, and we're wsgine
war with Spain before Dewey appeared
at Manila. They seem to have had
local government and have not aban
doned it. They have shown pluck and
ability, at least have had order and
organisation. All this is surely worth
considering, especially in connection
With the principle that government

Burrows, in an address at Lsnsing,
Mich, the other night, said, i've must
recreste merchant marine" For
thirty years Republican leaders have
been repeating this yawp and all the
time inticting the country with pro.
lection that destroys our merchant
marine. Under Democratic rule we had
a merchant marine; and our export,
and imports were mainly carried in
American ships. Under Republican
control and policy our foreign shipping
has been getting less from year to year
In foreign ports of late years it is rare
thing to see a merchant ship bearing the
American flag. These are facts that
should be considered and have weight,
for they condemn Republican policies.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.
What the Alliance Leader Has to Say
of the Board Of Elec-
tion Case.
(Alliance Leader.)

(Allance Leader.)
A special from Canton to the Cleve-
land Press of Thursday says:
Mayor Rice has investigated as to his
authority to appoint new city bo ard of
elections. He save: "Much as | dis
like to be compelled to make the ap-
pointment 1t looks now, from records
as II IL must be done, and |
will probably announce the selections
soon."
If the appointments are made, the
new board will be bipartisan and con
pist of four from the city at salary OF
5000 each. Secretary of state will ap-
point the county board, the mpensa.
ton of which will be according to the
work done.
This evident determination on the
part Of Mayor Rice has stirred up con-
siderable comment among the friends
Of the county board Of elections, both
Democrats and Republicans. As the
Stark county boord stands at present 1t
Is composed Of two members from Cam
ton, one from Massillon and one from

Secretary of State Kinney under Senate
bill No. l0l introduced by Senator Will
liams, of Alliance, and passed at the
last session Of the legislature The law
is general in its character, affecting all
counties having cities Of the first class
and fourth grade. Friends Of the pres.
ent Stark county board think it unwise
for Mayor Rice to undertake to appoint
new city board on the strength of q
circuit court decision in Cleveland that
has no bearing so far "a this district Is
concerned, as the conditions ere entire

MONEY MATTERS AND BUSINESS

1t seems the expansion of loans by

November 7, 1896; $7l2, 100000, Decem.

we're mostly made to Wall street, and of

Expansion of loans shows increase of
deposits and cash on hand, for they must
keep on hand a reserve of one.tourth of
their deposits, but banks lend fonr
times the amount of cash deposits

"there has been an anomalous absence of
demand for money In mercantile circles,

is moving"

Stock gambling, like all speculation, is
liable to collapse at any time. If foreign
bankers throw a few millions of Ameri-
can securities on the market for sale,
there is likely to be hutter and an
alarm, and such a scare plays the mis-
chief with stock gambling and gamblers
and spectators. 1t is ever uncertain
and ever a risky business. And un.
fortunate it is for country like this
to be involved in debt and subject to
the dangers of collapse and psnics.
Russia lately came to this country to
borrow money because of the low rate
of interest. These low rates of interest
were owing to the great accumulation OF
money in the banks OF New York, and
