EXTEND RURAL DELIVERY.

The daily delivery of mail, in the
rural districts, extending from four to
seven miles in four directions from
Canton is not only highly satisfactory
to those who are so fortunate as to
live along the lines OF delivery, but is
so highly appreciated by them, that
under no circumstances would they
consent to discontinuance of the sys-
TEN, although the introduction Of it in
Stark county was perhaps experiment
al. The Postal Department ought to,
as speedily as possible, extend the
routes throughout the county, and es.
pecially those portions of it not now
having the advantages of daily mail.
But before the routes are extended, an
effort should be made by the postal au-
thorities to give the people living in
the suburbs of Canton, who are neither
within the city districts nor on the line
OF rural delivery, daily mail delivery.
Warner avenue extension and that Sec
tion of country south east of Canton,
all of which is thickly populated,
should have the same mail advantages
as the city and the'more remote parts
of the country. But in laying out the
routes for rural delivery, these densely
districts were probably ov-
erlooked, and are therefore deprived of
the advantages Of the daily delivery
system. This is manifestly unfair, and
steps should be taken at once to secure
daily delivery OF mail for these people
and all others who live in the suburbs
of the city, and yet are deprived of the
same advantages Of our mail system as
those who live in the more remote por-
tions of the county. Extend the rural
delivery, but let the extension first
cover all densely populated districts
surrounding the city.

and corruptionist the Times-Herald
charges him with, then every Republi-
can paper in Ohio must have known it,
at the time when they were exalting
his name. But the Times-Herald re-
peats daily, its assaults upon the
senior senator from Ohio, with i'm
punity, so far as the Republican press
Of Ohio is concerned, Not even a word
OF ceusure from any Of them, not word
in defense OF Mr.. Foraker. Why? Is
it because the Republican press OF
Ohio approves the course of Mr.. Kohl
saat? Is it because the Republican
papers OF Ohio heretofore so loyal to
Foraker, have really discovered that
Mr.. Foraker is really very, very bad
Republican? Or is it because the Re-
publican press Of Ohio, has had tip
from the administration to keep silent?
Even the local Republican paper, the
personal organ OF President Mckinley,
has not had word to say in defense Of
Mr.. Foraker and not word OF condem-
nation for the man who continues his
vicious assaults upon the senior Re-
publican senator from Ohio. Why
this silence?

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

The information furnished by the
government concerning the Philippines
is vague, unsatisfactory, and even false.
1t is edited by the war department to
suit its purpose, and is then passed out
to a stupid and credulous public. But
this kind of business will not be en-
dured by the American people very
long. They have right to know and
will know the truth. The facts may
be kept under cover awhile, but eventu-
ally the whole history of the war in the
Philippines will be known, There are
volunteers In the ranks who will write
it, and it will be as faithful to the facts
as they are loyal to the flag. The war
has cost million dollars day of the
peoples money, and the blood of hun.
dreds OF Americas noblest sons, and
what has been accomplished? 1t is not
only the right Of every American citi.
zen to ask, but it his duty to know.

WHY THIS SILENCE

For several weeks past the Chicago
Times-Herald has devoted much valu-
able editorial space to the trickery,
treachery and corruption of Senator
Foraker of Ohio, in both his private
and political life. Mr.. Foraker as
Republican was twice elected governor
Of Ohio. His virtues as a man and as
governor were extolled by every Re-
publican paper in Ohio. Too much
could not be said In praise Of the great
and good Joseph B. Foraker. When
in 1895 he made the canvass Of the state
with view OF electing Republican
legislature who would have the choos-
ing Of United States senator, the Re-
publican press OF the state continued
it's fufsome praise Of the man who was
selected to succeed Calvin S. Brice in
che United States senate,
Mr.. Kohlsaat, the personal friend OF
Mckinley, did not then have word OF
reproof to offer In the Times-Herald
and he knew Mr.. Foraker then, as well
as he knows him now. Whatever OF
history Mr.. Foraker has made, had
been made largely, prior to that
time. There is practically nothing
new in his private or political life, save
perhaps few Insignificant events In
his senatorial life. II Foraker Is the
dishonorable and corrupt man Mr.
Kohlsaat says he is, he was all that be-
fore he was elected to represent the
state OF Ohio in the United States sen
ate. II he was the political trickstel

Maher an Easy Winner.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Peter Maher,
the Irish heavyweight pugilist, scored a
quick victory over his fellow country
man, Mike Morrissey of Tipperary, be-
fore the Lenox Athletic club. A light
punch ON the breast and right cross to
the jaw were the only blows struck, and
these,were delivered by Maher. The blow
that Maher landed ON the jaw was IN
sufficient to knock out any man. Both
fiddled for few moments, and then
Maher went right to his man with a
light left hand, which landed lightly on
the chest, and sent his right over to the
jaw. Morrissey fell in neutral corner
and lay there resting on his right elbow,
while Maher strutted about the ring un-
til the referee counted off ten seconds.

through this he made the deal with
Cox. There are over 1400 places that
Ohio Is entitled to under the Presi-
dents recent ruling. Hanna made the
bargain and sale with Cox that II he
would stand by him and cast the vote
of the Hamilton county delegation for
Nash for governor, Cox could
have the pick Of the 1400 places.
To this Cox agreed. 1t was then
that Senator Hanna formed even q
stronger combinatian with Cox, which
meant that ia the future Cox would be
a Hanna man and not Foraker man.
As Is we'll known, in the past Cox has
been loyal to Foraker. Hanna has
captured him, and II Cox will stay
bought Hanna will make trouble for
Foraker in the Cincinnati end of the
state. "Kohlsaat was willing man
to make his war upon Senator Foraker.
In fact, he was about the only man
that Senator Hanna could rely on. He
could not secure the service OF any
newspaper or editor In the state OF Ohio
to fight Senator Foraker, therefore he
natur ally turned to his next best friend,
who does business In Chicago. Sena-
tor Foraker has said things about
Kohlsaat in his kilograms to the
Chicago Times-Herald that man pos
sessed OF more moral courage than
Kohlsaat would have resented some
days ago.
"I am firmly convinced from what l
know to be fact, and from other
things that have taken place recently
In Ohio, that President Mckinley is
thoroughly familiar with every move
that Mr.. Kohlsaat has made against
Foraker. would not say that Senator
Hanna is paying Kohlsaat out of the
fund belonging to the Republican ma
tional committee Tor his services in
making war on Senator Foraker, but
those who know Kohlsaat best are in
clined to the belief that he does not do
many things unless he is in some way
rewarded. Mr.. Kohlsaat is not man
Of many original ideas. He can ex-
ecute what others order done, and in
this case he is making his war on SEN
ator Foraker at the request of Senator
Hanna"

The fight Mr.. Kohlsaat is making in
the Times-Herald against Mr.. Foraker
is no doubt inspil ed by the administra-
tion.-Canton News-Democrat.
THERE'S doubt and great deal Of
doubt that the administration has in
spired the savage attack on Senator
Foraker. The votes OF Foraker and
his friends are needed too badly next
fall to permit of attacks being made on
him. That is the plain truth OF the
matter. And, too, even those who are
not the most sincere admirers OF the
senator fail TO see why the present is
selected as the time to assail him. Is
he deserving of it? What good can
come of it?-Youngstown Telegram.
If there is doubt and great deal OF
it, why does the Republican press Of
Ohio fail to take up the 1ght in defense
OF Mr.. Foraker? Why is President
Mckinley himself silent as the grave
on the subject? The present has been
selected as the most opportune time,
because the administration is firmly OF
the belief that the influence OF Foraker
in Ohio politics is nil, and it expects to
prove it, by electing Judge Nash gov

CIVILIANS IN WAR,
Reported to the Peace Con
ference Articles Defiuing Their Treat
ment by Armies.

THE HAGUE, June 21.-The Brussels
conference subcommittee of the inter
national peace commission convened
Prof. De Martens of the Russian dele
CATION presiding. The drafting com
mittee's report was amended in regard
to awarding greater protection to neu
tral states; defining the rights of civil
populations to organize for resistance
and the rights of armies as toward
armed civilians. The clauses of the re.
port were adopted.
The report of the subcommittee will
be presented to the conference, and it is
believed that nearly all the powers will
adopt the new articles as basis of in
structions Tor armies when entering the
field.
The Geneva convention committee
held plenary session to consider the
report of its subcommittee. Captain
Mahan of the American delegation
again drew attention to the omission of
an article defining the exact status of
wounded and shlpwrecked men falling
into the sea during a battle and picked
up by neutrals or by hospital ships. He
also proposed three additional articles,
which were referred to the drafting
committee.
The plenary conference met to adopt
these additional articles and appointed
q committee to draw up general act
embodying the report of the Geneva
convention section. This is the first
definite result OF the convention.

in the Republican state convention to
nominate a candidate for governor.
But when they attempted to control
the G. A. r. encampment of Ohio, at
Youngstown, in the selection OF the

using him to further their own polit-

promptly turned them down. Now let

FORAKER CAMPING ON THE WHITE
HOUSE STEPS.

The Chicago Times-Herald shows no
disposition to discontinue its "war oi
determination" on Mr.. Foraker, but
on the contrary renews its assaults on
the Senator with all the force and vigor
at its command. In an editorial in
Tuesdays issue of the Times-Herald,
Mr.. Kohlsaat says:
Having assured himself that Presi-
dent Mckinley had left Washington
for his trip into New England, Senator
Foraker dropped all his engagements
with Democratic interyiewers in New
York and took the first train for Wash
ington. Once there, he resumed con-
nections with the Cincinnati Enquirer
to announce that he was camping on
the trail of the president to learn
the source OF the attack upon his tor
tuous career by the Times-Herald.
Senator Foraker is smart enough and
unscrupulous enough to charge the
overhauling OF his records to the Pres
ident and Senator Hanna, for he thinks
that the simplest way OF securing its
suppression. He knows very well that
as the head of the Republican party
the President is naturally averse to
anything that might disturb the
Heavenly harmony" which reigned
when Senator Foraker went through
his customary reconciliation scene
after his failure to break the Nash slate
in the last Ohio state convention.
Therefore Senator Foraker and his
apologists are alternately threatening
the administration and pleading with
it for Reputation OF the attitude OF
the Times Herald toward the most in
sidious conspirator the ibcomprehen-
sible politics of Ohio has ever known.
1t is not the truth of the charges OF
political perfdy and trickery that dis
turbs Senator Foraker. He has sur
vived as many exposures OF his disloyal
and crooked ways as a cat has lives.
But he breads the effect of their publi-
cation at this time upon his future ten
ure OF Office.
So he fills the columns OF his Demo
cratic organs with bluffs about calling
upon the president to call off the
Times Herald, and threatening dire re-
suits in Ohio next fall il there is not
cessation of the assaults upon him.
The Times Herald can only reiterate
that neither President Mckinley, Sen
ator Hanna nor any Of their political
associates had anything to do with
the demand for Senator Forakers
retirement. And as they were inno-
cent of any hand in inspir-
ing the exposure of Senator For
aker's trecherous and tortuous meth
DDS, so are they powerless to stop the
rolling ball of accommodating evidence
OF his political malevolence and deceit.
All Ohio remembers how Joseph B.
Foraker once committed himself to
John Sherman by saying: 81 will stick
to Sherman in the convention as long
as he has button on his coat" Then
straightway he began to cut the but
tons from the coat in order that he
might betray the aged senator without
forfeiting the word of his solemn
pledge.
Ohio is full of such characteristic
stories OF Joseph B. Foraker, and no
threats he may hold over the President
or Senator Hanna can prevent their be-
ing arrayed against him in these col
umns. There is no influence in the
White House that can prevent the
truth overtaking Joseph B. Foraker"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-06-23
INSPIRED BY MARK HANNA.

There is, evidently, no longer any
doubt, in the minds OF the friends of
]. B. Foraker, as to who inspired the
assault on the senator, and as to the
motive which prompted it. They see
plainly the determination on the part
of the administration to retire Mr.. For
aker, and they understand thoroughly
the modus operandi by which it is to
be accomplished. That they do not
intend to surrender without making a
fight characteristic of the Foraker ele-
ment can be inferred from the follow
ing statement from a close friend of
Mr.. Foraker published in the Wash
ington Times:
81 know OF my own personal knowl-
edge the assault that has been made on
Foraker in the Chicago Times Herald
is the result OF an understanding be-
tween It's editor and Senator Hanna.
Senator Hanna made the remark at the
Columbus convention, after Senator
For aker had declared himself against
theHanna machine, that he intended
to get even with Foraker. He said
further that McKisson and Foraker
were making a personal fight against
him, and he Intended, If necessary, to
make a personal fight against them.
He believed in getting even,' as he
termed it. He declared then that he
would resort to any means to down
Foraker.
"Senator Foraker's term in the Sen
ate will expire in 1903. Senator Hanna
believes that the thing for his faction
to do is to have Foraker defeated for
reelection"
When interrogated on the question
as to what, IL any, hand Mr.. Mckinley
had in the fight that was being made
on Foraker, the Ohioan further stated
"Senator Hanna does very few things
without first consulting the President
Mr.. Mckinley knows that Senator
Foraker Is not his political friend
therefore why should he not, as we'll al
Senator Hanna, want him removed
from the Senate?
