FAssETr AND pKINLEY.

QIon. A. ID. Fassett in Toledo Critic. )
The Critic editor is a friend of Presi-
dent Mckinley; knew Mckinley before
he was elected to congress--knew him
intimately and has Travelled hundreds
or miles with him in carriages, making
speeches with him and for him in Co
iumbiana, Mahoning, Carroll and Stalk
the counties of McKinley's district.
This same editor as a delegate in the
state convention, supported George X.
Nash for governor twenty years ago, has
been steadfast in advocating Republi-
can principles and Republican candid
dates all his life; but was for Jones this
time, and because of that he was class
ed as an enemy of the president. This
was not true, but was made an issue in
the campaign. We We're for Jones
largely because we believed that Judge
Nash would be controlled by Hanna.
The question of expansion or of the ad-
ministration should not have been in
Jected into the campaign, While 1t GER
tainly saved Nash some Republican
votes, ii puts Ohio in the attitude of hos
tility to Mckinley. This is unfortu-
nate. While we expect to support Nc
Kinley for president next year and
while 1t Is our purpose at this time to
support Judge Nash for a second term,
no man or set Of men or newspapers can
construe the result OF the election in
Ohio as anything short OF black eye
TO Imperialism.

NEED GOODNESS AND COMMON SENSE

Bradstreets, in it's last issue, does not
attempt as some papers do, to conceal
the fact that there is pinch in mon
ey" at present, and that we have been
threatened with a mighty serious pan
| ic In pointing out the causes leading
to it and the needs of the hour, it says:
The convulsion in the stock market
this week and the sympathetic distur-
bance shown in speculative markets for
some staples at one time bore a striking
resemblance to the conditions ruling in
the same markets during the dark DAYS
of 1898, and yet the unreasonableness
of any such comparison seems evident
upon its face. Unlike 1893, trade at
present is very large, and, what Is more,
it is expanding. Every line of business
and industry Is crowded with work, and
the only concern is as to whether orders
booked far ahead can be filled on time.
The very tightpess of money complain
ed of, though of course aggravated by
the probability of large drains from
London, by the shutting off of the sup
ply of gold from the Transvaal and by
the faulty currency system at present in
operation in this country, is primarily
result of good rather than unfavora-
BILE business conditions. The pinch in
money at present is felt all the more
acutely because there is sufficient en-
ployment for every dollar that Ncan be
found. A much larger supply of money
is needed in good than in poor times,
and yet the money market has been
asked, in addition to supplying all it's
legitimate needs, to digest large guam
titles of industrial securities, many of
which>recetly reached fictitious prices
The tendency of water to find it's level
has, in fact, found illustration in the
stock market this week. While there
may and probably, will be further de-
clfnes In prices Of purely speculative Sc
curltfes, it would seem pretty safe to
say that the money panic OF 1899 is
over, and while the Individual sufferers
are no doubt numerous, the financial
and commercial community in general
Is none the worse for the recent specu-
lative spasm. There is certainly not a
bushel of wheat or a bale of cotton less
in the country today as a result Of the
recent severe fall in stocks; our indus
tries are active, our railroads are bus
Ter than ever before there is more
money In the hands of the general pub
lie than at any previous time even if
there .is less invested in stocks, and the
business community can get money
enough for legitimate purposes at fair
interest rates. The need is for good.
common sense, steadiness and coolness.

WHO WROTE TEE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.
[collier's weekly.l

We have only one criticism to make
on the presidents message, and this
relates merely to two verbal errors.
Whenever Mr. Mckinley uses the term
UNITED States" he makes It a singular
noun; he also allows himself to speak
of the United States as "this nation -
Now, as a matter of fact wherever the
term UNITED States" occurs in the con-
stitution, 1t is a plural noun. Nor was
this choice of number a mere accident,
as anyone will be able to convince him
self who shall take the trouble to read
the debates in the federal convention
of 1887. In the course of those debates,
1t was proposed that the federal govern
ment, then in course of construction,
and the several peoples to be embraced
under it, should be designated as a
nation" After prolonged and heat
ed discussion, the proposal was voted
down by decisive majority; the word
nation" was thus repudiated. We do
not expect newspaper writer's, or even
congressman, to be letter perfect, in the
text Of the constitution, much less
familiar with the proceedings of the
convention that framed it, But our
chief magistrate, in a state paper, ought
not to be capable of using un-constitu-
tional terms. Mr.. Mckinley ought to
know that 1t would take constitution
al amendment to make the United
States a singular noun, or to make the
word nation" applicable to our Union.

Isn't Senator Hanna rather neglect
ing Canton in his recent appointments?
It's several moons since the faithful OF
the presidents home town have been
recognized and there is considerable un-
rest manifested among those who still
expect something, and who believe that
"a public office is private snap" Can
ton Republicans have not received their
quota Of the public offices at the disposal
of Mr.. Hanna and President Mckinley
and until they get It. their clamoring
should not cease.

END OF CENTURY.
[Chicago Record. ]

] have received many invitation to
participate in the controversy now
raging as to the end of the old and
the beginning of the new century, but
am willing to stake my reputation on
the opinion of the makers of the nauti-
cal almanac at the Naval Observatory,
who hold that there are 100 years In a
century; that the first year is /, and
that the last year is 100. If that is true,
the first year of the nineteenth century
was 1901, and the last will be 1900. 1t
makes all the difference In the world
where you begin to count. II the first
year OF the century was 1900. the last
year should be 1899. but In counting
people usually begin with one and not
with the cipher.

The mayor seems to think there is
no doubt that the Revised Municipal
Code of Ohio will be enacted into law by
the incoming legislature. The mayor
may be correct in his supposition. We
do not know. We have no secret in
formation on the subject, but there is
little doubt that there is some secret
plan at work in which some Canton
politicians have a hand. But one thing
is certain, and that is, if the people of
Canton thoroughly understood this
newly proposed plan for the govern
ment of their city, it would meet with
mighty protest from all but those who
have some scheme to perpetrate or a
private axe to grind.

Dispatches from Columbus and else.
where throughout the state indicate
that the Hon. Jacob B. Snyder, has
greater strength in the Legislature than
has generally been believed. Mr.. Sny-
der has not been doing much boasting
but he has been doing some effective
work in quiet way and when the votes
are counted he will surprise his COM
rience of previous term in the House,
and he is eminently fitted in every way
to make an able Speaker There Is now
little doubt that the next Speaker of the
House will be a member from Stark
and his name is Snyder.

secured several fat state appointments
lately, will of course, be expected not
to ask for anything else soon.
Massillon and Canton will supply the
candidates for the Republican county
ticket. OF course Alliance Republicans
will be expected to cast their votes
straight, although some of the candi-
dates have gone so far as to state that
Lexington township could be wiped of
the map, and Republican success in
the county still assured.

The political pot at Columbus has
reached the boiling point. Many of the
aspirants for political preferment, have
had their aspirations knocked into a
Cooked hat" by Boss Hanna. That
Hanna & Co. will name all the officers
of both branches of the Legislature there
is no longer any doubt. But really,
there is nothing for the poor fellows to
do but to submit and keep silent In
fact they do not seem to have moral
courage enough to do anything else.

Will Mr.. Julius Whiting, Jr., receive
an appointment at the hands of Gov.
Nash? That is the question now
bothering certain local Republican
politicians, who look with jealous eye
upon all that Mr.. Whiting does, or
gets politically. Well, if Mr.. Whiting
really wants an appointment under the
Nash administration, he will get it, and
there is not in all Canton or Stark
county a Republican of political power
enough to prevent it.

jefferson believed in the people and in
a representative form of government.
Hamilton advocated a centralized form
of government. The tendency of the
times is toward the latter. To take
the power from the people, and to place
it in the hands of the few is now adj
vocated by a certain class of citizens
national, state and municipal. Let the
people not forget that eternal vigilance
is the price Of liberty"

1t is very encouraging to have the
declaration of Secretary Gage that there
is no cause for fear of panic. The fact
though that Wall street has subscribed
$1O,OOOOOO to meet any stringency in
the money market that may arise, does
not corroborate the secretary's state
ment. 1t is hoped, though, that Mr..
Gage is right. Of all things we do not
want, it is a panic.

Governor elect Nash promises to re-
form the entire state prison manage
ment. This is rather startling state
ment for Judge Nash to make at this
time. We had every assurance before
the election that Governor Bushnelrs
administration was all right, and If
we remember correctly Mr.. Nash in his
Akron speech paiG Mr.. Bushnells man
agement of state affairs q very fiat
tering compliment. If our state insti-
tutions are badly III need Of reforma-
ton, surely Mr.. Nash must have known
it at the time he was stumpins the state
in behalf of his own election, and, if he
intended to be honest with the people,
he should have frankly stated so then,
instead of now. After all, the rerorma-
tion promised consists chiefly of kick
ing out the friends of Bushnell and put
ting in the friends of Nash. Politics!
Politics.! Politics!

Toledo will get the assistant U. S.
district attorneyship for the northern
district Of Ohio. Boss Hanna has en-
dorsed Robert Tucker Of that city,
and that settles It. But our Canton
friends should not despair, there are
other places still open and in need of
good men. Besides, there is chance
10 pick the congressional plum in this
district, providing Uncle Silas, Of
Alliance, don't consent to take It.

Tom Reed former speaker of the
house, suggests that Roberts, of Utah,
can save himself by putting up the
American flag. This idea is no doubt
suggested by the Sulu treaty. The stars
and stripes protect plurality of wives
and even slavery in the Sulus. Why
not in Utah? This is a question too
deep even for the ablest living Repub-
lican to solve.

One of Exaulted Opportunity For tthe
President of the Republic.
New York Worfd.]

lNeW York Nv ortd
This is the anniversary of the two
fundamental democratic doctrines:
On earth peace, good will to men.
whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to- them.
What then is the message of this
day to the 75,000,000 of the great re-
public, the foremost exponent and the
foremost beneficiary of these sublime
truths OF peace and the brotherhood Of
man?
Is it merely to exchange gifts and
greetings? Is it merely to indulge in
sounding and unctuous generaIities
about duty and right and justice? Can
the American people, looking at home
and abroad, see no command to action?
What OF the war in the Philippines?
The sultan of Sulu had never been
our ally We had never encouraged
MIN to revolt against Spain. We had
never recognized his government. Yet
Tor the sake of peace Mr.. MCKINLEY
negotiated with him, agreed to leave
MIN free to maintain polygamy. and
slavery, agreed to pay him and his
harem-keepers monthly subsidies.
III we can tolerate and subsidize slavery
ana polygamy for the sake of peace
and commerce and naval stations
might we not also tolerate freedom and
ser-goVernment? If Mr.. Mckinley can
negotiate with a Mahometan despot
might he not find some measures less
marsh than a war of determination for
q christian people asking only permis-
sion to be free? ytH
What or the war in South Africa?

empire is at stake. Nstill 1t Is not true
tnat there is no time>in any war when
each side has not some terms upon

What are England's terms nowo
What Is the minimum which she would
accept? What is the maximum which
the Beers would grant.
why does not Mr.. Mckinley ask?
why does he not, in the spirit Of tba
republic, In the spirit of humanity. r.
the Christmas spirit, make a straiebt-
forward, friendly effort to find out?
t cannot be necessary to England

A number of counties Of the state
will attempt to secure legislation this
winter, to reduce the salaries Of county

will fail. There is not a combination in

enactment of such a law, however
desirable it may be.

MANUFACTURERS In THE SOUTH
A Remarkable Increase Is Noted by the
TradeSman of Chattanooga.

Chattanooga. Tenn. June 27.--That
the South has for some time been
making remarkable strides In the field
of legitimate manufacturing and devel-
opment enterprise has been fully rec
ognized. and some details OF THE
progress for the first six months OF this
year are of more than passing inter-
est The Tradesman, Chattanooga.
Tenn, has carefully compiled report
OF new industries authoritatively re-
ported for the second quarter OF 1899
and this report bows that the new
industries for the quarter ending July

the same period last year.
Commenting on this report. tho

Gated during the quarter was general

are 775, gain OF 292; and this gain
is pretty we'll distributed among diff
ferent branches OF Industry. Cotton
