U. S. MAIL THROWN ASIDE,
sensational Story From Skngwnv
Published in San Framcisco
tcWspaper.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1.-THE Call
Is informed that tie frequent failure Of
letters from the United States to reach
the klondike is largely due 10 the fact
that the contractors vino hargaiued with
the Canadian government TO carry the
postal matter from Skagway TO Dawson
refuse 10 handle any mall which does not
bear the Canadian postage
Ii Is alleged that mall matter from the
United States' is thrown aside when IL
leaves the steamer. and at the present
stiine, II Is said, about twenty tons of mail
matter bearing American stamps Is piled
w In heaps at 5kagway
Fault With Mail Contractor.
WASHINGTON. March 2i-Regarding
the report from San Francisco of serious
congestion of the mails az Skagway II is
stated at the postoffice department that
the contractor failed 10 make the January
and December trips overland and conse
scquentiy 3.Sts pounds Of this mail aceu
mulated. The special postal agent now
located al Skagway reported 10 the depart
ment about fortnight ego that the mail
was being forwarded as rapidly as posi-
bic by temporary carriers whose cost
would he charged against the contractor
IL is explained that there are about six
weeks In the autumn and little less than
that in the spring when it is impossible 10
carry mail into that country. owing 10 the
breaking UP OF the ice and the rushing wa
tiers.

THE PRESIDENT In TROUBLE.

The president said at Madison, Wis.
'One tribe, and small faction of that
is resisting the authority of the United
States in the island of Luzon."
The president also says: THE very
people we emancipated, &c" "The she'd
ding of blood is an anguish to my soul
and sacrificing the lives of our own
bravest and best young men wrings
my heart"
Other American citizens have souls
and hearts to suffer also; over this
Luzon affair. But, if any one tribe and
at best "a email faction of that" is re-
sisting, why does the war drag along so ?
Does the president really appreciate
fully the situation? The American
people generally think the Philippine
situation is the result of bad manage
ment. And the progress of the war
is not encouraging. No wonder the
president is in trouble.
According to accounts from reliable
correspondents in LuZon there is much
discomfort among army officers at the
management. Gen. Otis's plans are
severely riticized-thearmy advances,
takes places but don't hold them, and
after retiring the enemy returns. This
has been going on and continues. There
seems to be neither head nor sense in
the way things are run. Our scheming
Hanna himself could not do much worse.

DANGERS IN A REPUBLIC.

| Americans may now realize that even
our republic is not without dangers, the
same as attended ancient governments
of the people, by the people, etc. We
may cite the Greek republics; especially
Athens, and, more especially, ancient
Rome.
The aggregation of wealth in fewer
and fewer hands has been giving us
lessons, for these demand more fixed
ness and security which induce them
to seek after government control, ex-
tending even to the courts as was
demonstrated by the decision against
an income tax, and injunctions by
courts of late years.
Immoderate love of gain grows on
what 1t feeds, and few seriously think
of the many good things money will not
buy, and of the evils money will not
cure. An ancient philosopher of Athens
whose property had been confiscated
consoled himself thus:
II have lost my money, and with it
my cares: for when I was rich / was
afraid of every poor man, but now that
1 am poor every rich man is afraid of
me-" 1t is ever satisfaction to be able
to draw consolation, and every con-
dition allows this comfort.
But, equality of rights and oppor-
tunities was the aim and purpose Of the
noble and wise men who established
this government. The first of Mr..
Jefferson's Essential principles of
government" was in these words:
Equal and exact justice to all men
of whatever state or persuasion, reli-
gious or political"
They assuredly never contemplated
state of things in which there would
be one very rich, or millionaire class,
and the bulk of the people poverty
stricken and enslaved. Neither did they
contemplate combines, monopolies and
trusts as we now have, especially when
these disregard and trample law under
foot when in their way. The safety and
welfare Of the people should be con-
sidered these days, and receive prompt
and proper attention through the ballot
box. In union only is there safety.
Sensible people ought not to fool their
votes away.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-10-24


Don't disgrace the flag" Is a cor
rect sentiment. And the American flag
should ever be raised in a good cause,
and never in criminal aggression"
1.-THE flag is national emblem and
is obedient to the national will" 1t
is raised and hauled down as 1t suits
their purpose. During the war of 1912
1t was raised in Canada and when peace
came it was taken down. 1t was raised
in Mexico, and when peace was re-
stored it was hauled down.
Our boast has been that right makes
might, not otherwise till now, when
this administration has started out for
conquest. This monarchial idea is
something new to this land. Imperial
ism is not our national cry. 1t Is hor-
rid to contemplate. Mr.. Mckinley said
a year or two ago that "forcible an
nexation would be criminal aggression"
And what else is this Philippine busi-
ness but an attempt at forcible an
nexation? 1t might have been other
wise had the same stand been taken as
was with Cuba.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-10-24

Carl Schurz put a difficult question
before President Mckinley at the anti
imperial congress in Chicago:
The president has constantly been
telling US that the whole subject is
with congress, and that Congress shall
direct" But when did he while con-
gress was in session, lay a full state
ment before that body and ask it's direc-
ton? Why did he not, before he pro-
claimed that the slaughter must go on
without useless parley, call congress to-
gether to consult the popular will in
constitutional form? Why, even in
these days, while swinging around the
circle" the president and his secretaries
are speaking of the principal thing, the
permanent annexation of the Philip
pines, not as a question still to be de-
termined, but as a thing done-conclu-
ded by an executive-implying that con-
gress will have simply to regulate the
details.
The constitution declares: 1.-THE con-
gress shall have power to declare war"
Is there not war in the Philippines?
Congress never declared war.

MOTHER EARTH
TREMBELED.
When That Box Car Got In Its
Destructive Work.
DEMOLISHED A SMALL BARN
And Threw tne Roof OF It Onto the Roof
of a Residence Nearby Inmates
Thought the End OF the
World Had Come

The family Of william Loschelder,
residing in his saloon property at 1912
East Ninth street, were awakened be-
tween 3 and o'clock Sunday morning
by what they at first considered an
earthquake of large dimensions. On
examination 1t was found that box car
had been run off the end of a switch on
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road and
caused the earth to tremble. An engine
was switching cars about and kicked a
car off the end of the switch which was
not protected with a bumper The car
struck barn belonging to John Bean
and completely demolished the struc-
ture. The roof of the barn was thrown
onto the roof of Loschelder's kitchen,
knocking down the chimney, the bricks
of which fell through the kitchen cell
ing to the floor, carrying with them a
mass of plaster and lath.
The engine pulled the car back on the
track Immediately and today the wreck
gang are clearing away the debris OF the
stable, preparatory to making good the
losses sustained.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-10-24

Should an administration be credited
with glory and prosperity that has in
volved this country in an unnecessary
and expensive war through sheer mis-
management? And too when 1t has
extravagantly increased expenditures
and piled up additional taxes and in
creased the public debt? Ought it not
to startle Republicans when such lead
ers as ex-Speaker Reed, Ex-Governor
Boutwell,, Carl Sch rz. Senator Mason,
and others antagonize the administra-
tion and it's policy? These men regard
this administration as utterly incapable
and corrupt.

1t is rarely that a county ticket is
made UP equal to the present Demo-
cratic ticket offered in Stark county.
Honest voters in the county who desire
an economical improvement in county
management should lend hand to
elect every man thereon. Assumedly
there is need of improvement as all
intelligent citizens of the county
know. Corruption seems to follow
Republican ascendancy. We must, as
a people, get away from this NAM
mon rule, or ruin will result inevitably.
We need a change for the better right
here in Stark county. Vote the Demo-
cratic ticket and make but one cross
within the circle under the rooster bird

may yelp prosperity" but the condi-
tions and situation are not encouraging.
Prices are advancing in some lines, but
not generally, not in the interest Of
farmers, the great arm Of labor and
prosperity Mr.. Jeffersons idea was;
"A plain and simple government that
shall not take from the mouth of labor
the bread it has earned" This, however
does not enter into the Republican creed.
Hanna & Co. want trusts, combines,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-10-24

All citizens who wish we'll to this
country must disapprove the course of
the administration toward the Filipinos
And surely our citizens generally are
opposed to trusts which have been grow
ing so rapidly under this Hanna ad-
ministration; all which the great Hanna
approved in his speech at Cleveland
the other evening. Although he had
his state convention declare against
them. OF course the trusts did not
like this, and so Hanna, wanting money
bad, had to craw-fish.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-10-24

There is alarm among the money
kings in New York. John r. Keene,
the great leader in stocks, predicts a
slump The capitalization of Trusts
the past year is put at $4,5OO, 900, 900 and
hence the alarm in financial circles.
This enormous initiation has but a weak
Foundation. In trusts the usual rule
is to issue one-third in preferred stock
and two-thirds common stock. The
preferred is the full value and gets
the interest, while the common stock
must take pot luck" which will be
empty for the common stock holders.

ing pocketbook containing s14 which
ne alleges woman had taken from a
house In East Fifth street, where he
had been visiting. He stated to Mar
shall Reinhart that while in the house of
a relative a pocketbook containing the
amount of money had been laid on a
stand in the front room. He also al
leges that while absent from the room,
the woman, who was inside at the time,
took the purse and disappeared. The
matter was reported to one of the DO
licemen Saturday but the officer failed
to report it to the police station and
no investigation was made.
FOUR PLAIN ONES.
Ely Hammond was the name of an
offender arrested by officer Zimmerman
Sunday. Hammond was drunk and he
gave security for his appearance before
the mayor Monday night.
Ed. Dunn, a well known man, was
arrested by officers Piero and McCloud
on the charge of drunkenness. Dunn
was found lying over stone wall in
5. Market street, unable to navigate.
He was fined 81 and costs, which he
paid, and secured his release.
Stephen Lynch, who stated that his
nome is at Magnolia, pleaded guilty to
drunkenness before the mayor, and he
was fined 81 and costs. Officer Cross
klaus arrested him.
A man giving his name as John San
ders. evidently a fictitious title, was
arrested by Officer Zimmerman, Sunday
on the charge of drunkenness He
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
fined 81 and costs.
QUESTION OF FACT.
A little disturbance occurred Sunday
In restaurant In East Tuscarawas
street that was created by a misun-
derstanding between the parties en-
gagged therein. 1t appears that a man
giving his name as N. Rawson entered
the restaurant and ordered two meals.
After disposing of the same he laid
down money to pay for them. The
waiter alleges that Rawson only laid
down q quarter when he should have
paid half dollar. Rawson stated that
he was pretty sure that he had laid
down enough money to pay for the eat
ables. Officers Zimmerman and Cross
klaus were called and Rawson was
placed under arrest. The mayor dis
charged Rawson after hearing his story
without fining him.

The word Is from New York that the
money stringency continues and may
for some time. Under such circum-
stances there is no telling what may
transpire. 1t is very evident the country
is not running in safe lines. There is
much uncertainty, and doubts are enter
tanned as to the future. In the opinion
of many our monetary affairs are
not on very safe basis: especially
when our government is engaged In
an expensive war. and with enormous
and heavy taxation, and running be-
hind then. The Hanna parrot organs
