There isn't an American with an
ounce of patriotic blood in his veins
who does not sincerely hope that Agui-
naldo will be caught soon and an
honorable arrangement made that will
end the war in the Philippines. 1t
ought to have been ended before 1t be-
gan, but now that it has begun it
ought to be finished. Fulsome Thanks
giving proclamations with assertions
that we are at peace with all the world
will not suffice. The flower of Amer
lean manhood doesn't meet th-deal-
ing bullets in times of peace. There is
no way to disguise that we are in a bad
mess, and Americans generally hope
that the best and most effective means
will be employed to end 1t all. This
stamp-licking business is not popular.

In cities the only officers to be elec-
ted by the people will be the mayor, po-
lice Judge, police clerk and city treas
urer, and it is proposed thet candidates
for these offices shall not be designat-
ed on the ballots as either Republican,
Democrat or Prohibition candidates, as
is now done.
The law will not permit franchises to
be granted by the councils for street
car, telephone, gas, and electric light
ing and water companies to use the
streets and other public utilities until
the people have first, by vote, decided
to allow 1t to be done.
But the matter of franchises comes
before a municipal body infrequently.
The Importance of it may as well be left
with the representatives of the people
direct as with an appointed board. The
scheme which is proposed is in accord
ance with the recent tendency of the
times. Each year the business of the
people is being taken further out of the
peoples hands, and they will soon have
little voice in running their own af-
fairs. The present system Is not what
it ought to be, but If it has its faults,
it is at least representative. 1t Is not
intended by this reference to interfere
with advancement, but it is essential
that all citizens view the proposed leg
interests. 1t is placed before them that
they may understand it. The News
Democrats interview with the mayor
is simply the incident that guides the
attention to q menace.

Mayor Robertson, in an interview to-
day, says that he wants more police
men. The question that the council
will likely ask is whether the fault is
with the numerical strength or the
method Of organization. If 26 police
men cannot catch one burglar, how
many will four more catch? But the
city is entitled to police protection and
if four more will do the work there will
be very general applause from the peo-
pie. If more are added to the force

A SENATORIAL COMPACT.
columbus Press-Post.)

Mr.. II. II. Kohlsaat, of the Chicago
Times Herald, will take notice that In
his telegram to Senator Foraker the
day after the election last week, inform
ing him of the latest returns, Chairman
Dick told the senator that the result as
sured his reelection to the senate. Mr.
Kohlsaat insisted all through the cam
paign that Senator Foraker was in
triguing for the defeat of the Repub-
lican ticket, though the least attention
to the campaign here would have shown
him that Foraker was on the stump for
Nash and that his activity in the cam
paign had placed him out of touch with
the anti-Hanna faction.
The fact is, however, that the admin
istration at Washington and Senator
Hanna expected a reverse in Ohio, and
that Judge Nash would either pull
through on a small plurality, or be de-
feated. The plurality he received was a
surprise to them, for they did not count
on the Jones vote being as largely Dem
ocratic as it proved, and Editor Kohl
saat, receiving his advices throGgh these
sources, was preparing to blame it all
on his old enemy, Foraker. But Col.
Dicks telegram brings out very clearly
ma were working together under a COM
pact, the conditions being that if Foraker
should come to Hanna's support now,
and break the strength Of the anti Han
ma faction, he would be entitled to re-
election to the senate without objec-
tion from Senator Hanna. His tele-
gram and Judge Nash's expression of
gratitude to Foraker can mean moth
ing else. The legislature that will elect
Senator Foraker's successor will not be
elected for two years. How can any
thing about that be decided in this cleo
ton, except as to Senator Hanna's atti-
tude in the matter? 1t has been the
general opinion that Senator Hanna
had Foraker on his list for political de-
struction, and it may be after all that
he will in 1901 follow Foraker's example
announcing that election day ended
the campaign with him." and let Fora
ker fight it out with perhaps dozen in
surgent anti Foraker men in the legis-
lature. Or perhaps Senator Hanna
may see so little involved in the cam
paign that year as to exert himself
very little to prevent. the election of a
Democratic Legislature. A Democratic
colleague would give Senator Hanna
the whole of the Ohio patronage to dis
pense.

BONE REMOVED.
Young Man Had Been Suffering
For Some Time But Finally
Got Relief.

At the Aultman hospital Wednesday
afternoon an operation was performed
by several of the local physicians on
the left arm of young Urban Sucker, of
213 North Walnut street. A portion of
the small bone in the arm was removed
and it is thought the arm will be saved.
Young Sucker had been working at
Maxine and came to his home in Can
ton about three weeks ago with badly
swollen arm, which physicians pro-
nounced inhammatory rheumatism.
The boy suffered intense pain until the
arm festered and it was then decided to
cut the ann open and scrape the bone
Sucker was taken to the hospital
Wednesday and in the afternoon the op-
GRAFTON was performed. 1t was found
on examination that the bone was so
far decayed that a portion of it would
have to be removed, which was ac-
cordingly done. The young lad is rest
ing easy today and unless the disease
breaks out in other, places he will prob
ably recover rapidly.

DOES 1T DIsFRANCHIsE9

Mayor Robertson unreservedly states
to the News-Democrat today, his belief
that change in the municipal govern
ment of Canton Is near at hand. If he
does not say It in words It is said by in
ference. His interview may be gen.
orally conceded as setting forth the
plan of those who are represented by
him. So the matter is reaching the
stage when it becomes of vital interest
to the people Of the city. Ripper legis-
lation of some sort is latent in the
minds of the political managers, and
activity will come out of the dormancy.
The interview serves to put the people
on their guard as to what is likely to
happen at date that now seems not
distant. This change is touted to be
local self-government, the non-political
ballot, the merit system, and the sep
aration of the executive and legislative
powers.
The question of changes in munich
pal government is not a new one, but
radical action has not been imminent
till now. The bill that has been drafted
calls for the attention Of every citi-
zen. Canton is certain to be affected
or's interview is valuable in suggesting
to the people that it is their business
to begin to study the question as it is
presented.
The proposed law draws the lines
sharply and definitely between legisla-
tive and executive functions of muni-
cipal corporation officers.
Provision is made for only two
classes of municipal corporations, cities
and villages, and the purpose is an
nounced upon the part of the Legislature
to allow no further classification.
The bill claims to provide for a COM
plete merit system to be applied in the
of cities, except the heads of the four
departments. Fitness, it is claimed,
will be the only test of appointment,
and the tenure of office is said to depend
solely upon fidelity and efficiency.
The form Of the executive part Of the
government of the cities is that known
as the federal plan. The executive
power is to be vested in the mayor and
the heads of the department of law,
public safety, public improvements and
accounts. The mayor is to have power
to remove a director, and each direc-
tor is to have authority to remove any
subordinate for caus,.
The council of each city, as proposed
by this law, will consist of seven mem
bers, three of whom shall be elected by
the city at large and four by an equal
number Of councilmanic districts. The
council will be endowed with full power
to pay their members adequate sala-
ries, and they will also have the power
to fix the salaries of all the executive
officers. They will be charged with the
exercise Of all the legislative power Of
the city.

ZEYTLER BETTER.

Wounds Assailants Not
Located as Yet.

A persistent rumor was in circulation
Wednesday morning that j. B. Zettler
who was wounded by stranger several
weeks ago, had died during the night,
and that the officers were on the track
of the man who committed the crime.
A telephone call at the zettler residence
was responded to by Mrs. Zettler, We'd
nesday morning. She stated that her
husband was resting nicely and felt
little better. AS far as the officers are
concerned, they have been unable to Sc
cure the fellows who visited the Zett-
Ter place, although they have slight
clues which may lead to the apprehen-
sion of the men.

over the Bender Bros reward will be
up. Judge Albaugh stated to the court
that some New Philadelphia lawyers
who represented applicants for this re-
ward had sent notice to c. G. Bow that
they could not come Monday because
they had a trial down there. Judge
McCarty said he had postponed this
case once for those fellows and that in
asmuch as 1t had been specially assign
ed for Monday it would have to be tried.
He did not propose to have the Stark
county courts held up for every little
court over the state.
CASE DISMISSED. ~
When the case of Joseph Hug VS.. j.
w. Wardwell, receiver of the G. G. e.
s. railroad was called Judge Albaugh,
representing Hug and David Day rep
resenting wardwell, appeared. Hug
had sued for $3.50 for some railroad ties.
1t appears that they had been pur-
chased before Wardwell was appointed
receiver and hence the suit should have
been brought against the old company
rather than the receiver At the re-
quest of Judge Albaugh the suit was
dismissed at PLAINTIFFS cost.
REFEREE APPOINTED.
Attorney Dan Shelter came before
Judge McCarty Thursday morning and
had Denver c.. Hughes appointed ref
cree and master commissioner in tho
case of Mary Hovig VS.. the Navarro
Glass Marble Co. The suit is to enforce
the liability of stockholders. Hughes
will hear the case, dispose Of the prop
erty and present the matter to the
court for final action.

The trial of the dispute between Geo.
D. Lehner and the Canton Pole and

Wednesday afternoon and the jury
went out to decide who was right. In
two hours it came in with verdict
decreeing that the Pole and Shaft Co.
must pay Lehner $266.
ADMINISTRATOR HIT HARD.
Probate Judge Wise has decided the
controversy in which the heirs of An
drew Lothamer took exceptions to the
accounting of Joseph Lothamer, the ad-
ministrator. The administrator was
ordered to charge himself with 1888 for
some lots he had bid in and also with a
note of $1,000 Further the court cut
down his compensation about $100. He
is also charged with $10S for house rent
that he had not reported, making in all
$2,341 he must account for.
