There was great reluctance on the
part of Stark county Democrats to run
against the strong Republican ticket
Several of the offices went begging at
the primary elections and there was
little interest in any of them.-Local
Imperialistic Organ.
Well, let's make a comparison-that
may show how much truth there is in
this statement. For representative at
the Democratic primary election there
were candidates, for sheriff 6, for
commissioner 2, for probate judge 2,
for infirmary director /, for prosecuting
attorney l, and for treasurer 5 candi-
dates were voted for, making a total of
25 at the Democratic primary election.
At the Republican primaries there were
Z candidates for representative, for
sheriff, 2 for commissioner, l for pro-
bate judge, 2 for infirmary director, 1
for treasurer and for prosecuting at
torney, 16 in all and less than at the
Democratic primary election. True
the Democratic primaries were devoid
of that style Of interest" that mani
Tested itself at the Republican prima-
ries, in this, that there was no boss
whose interests had to be subserved,
no Mark Hanna whose friends had to be
rewarded and whose enemies had to be
punished, but the contest was an
honest, open one, in which all had the
opportunity to vote his choice, untram-
meled and without fear, and that is
more than the local imperialistic organ
will dare claim for the Republican
nominations.

dent and Secretary Root" 1t is de-
claredI in addition that "the administra-
tion is unwilling to make another bond
issue, but If it cannot be avoided this
will be DONE"
A party paper which does not appear
to understand that this is an adminis-
tration test of the public pulse, flies in
to special dispatch on the subject. 1t
declares that Secretary Gage has inn
mediately nailed as false the report
that another bond issue will be necessa-
ry to carry on the fall campaign in the
Philippines" The special continues:
"The secretary says that the govern
ment would have plenty of money to
meet its obligations, and that, although
the nation would be under heavy ex-
pense in the Philippines, no one need
feel doubtful of Uncle Sans power to
pay his bills. The total receipts for the
month of August are expected to reach
at least $45,0OO,000, and possibly $4S,00O,
900. Some of the heavy expenditures
which caused a deficiency in July will
not continue during August, and the de-
fieciency will be inconsequential. 1t
must be remembered that there is in
the Treasury vaults today $274,O0O, 900 in
cash, including the gold reserve, $780,
100000. This gives the secretary of the
treasury $174,0O0,000 to draw upon for
expenditures of all kinds should the or
dinary receipts of the government fall
Secretary Gage made this estimate for
even larger army than is now con-
templated, and calculated that $145, 5,0O0,-
900 would be needed for the military es-
tablishment"
This is giving the lie" to the wrong
proposition. Nobody has been saying
that there would not be enough funds
to carry on the fall campaign in the
Philippine islands. There is still n
good deal of borrowed money in the
treasury. At the rate the treasury has
been running behind though, the avail
able cash will fritter itself away rapid

giant country like ours, as it is now

to get right down to the edge of the
$780, 900 gold reserve? At the rate the
deficit has been going on this figure will
soon be reached. The promise that the
August deficit is going to be less than
that Of July is not impressive. Too ma

for the Dutch farmers Of South Africa
who only ask to be let alone in their
own land.-Cleveland Leader.
The Leader commends "the courage
and martial spirit" of the British colo
MES but does not think so highly of the
"moral sense" of the citizens of Austria
liza and Canada that they should have
so little fellow feeling for the Dutch
farmers of South Africa who only ask

What the Dutch farmers of South
Africa are asking for, of the British
government, the Filipinos are fighting
for. All they ask of the United States
government is to be let alone in their
own land. If 'It is not so creditable to
to the moral sense" of the British to en-
list in campaign against those who
follow Paul Kruger, how should 1t be

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Columbus Press Post offers the
following platform for adoption at the
GAINESVILLE convention, with comments
thereon. 1t is Democratic, and the in
dications are that every plank named
therein will be made a part at least of
the Democratic platform of the Zanes-
vile convention. Now give us a can
didate to fit the platform and Democrat
ic victory is assured:
l. Reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform.
2. For the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the constitution of the Unit
ed States. No imperialism, no militar-
ism, no colonialism.
3. For the enactment and enforce
ment of laws depriving capital of the
power to limit the production, control
the distribution or fix the price of COM
modities, or to restrain competition in
their manufacture and sale. No trusts
4. For the enactment of law institut-
ing the initiative and referendum in
the state of Ohio.
5. For public ownership of natural
monopolies.
6. For a constitutional amendment
providing for the selection of United
States senators by the people.
7. For the denomination of William
j. Bryan for president in 1900, on q
platform consistent with the foregoing
There may be other ideas embodied
In the declarations made at GAINESVILLE
but these are vital. The national ad.
ministration, with all it's shortcomings
mistakes and crimes may come in for 6
just arraignment; but the people de-
mand a positive, not a negative, plat
form. They do not want one that 1.

and promised evils, but one that alsC
suggests remedy for them. They
want to know not only what the Demo

Standing for the principles here out
lined, and with a candidate for COVER
nor competent to represent them anC

of this critical period of human pro

columbus Press-Post.)


The scientists of the United States
now in convention in this city have so
far paid no attention to the announce
ment Of that Breslau, scientist, who
claims that he has found that the
boards Of physicians swarm with patho-
genie germs and his declaration that
the physicians who wear these hirsute
appendages are themselves the great
est disseminators of the diseases they
essay to cure. On the contrary, it is
noted that a large portion of our scien-
tific guests themselves wear facial
adornments of this kind.
In the popular mind, the possessions
of great wisdom and full boards are in
some way indissolubly connected. No
artist would present picture of a pa
triarch without the full beard, which
descending swept his aged breast"

practical experience in such matters
which showed him what the people de-
mand in a physician, took it off we'll in

Age leads those graces which are sure
to please,
Folks like their doctors musty, like
their cheese.
Fashion may issue its DEGREES, and
even science illuminate against it, but

him to fumigate it, or even carry it en-
closed in a rubber pouch, but he will not
part with his ancient and honorable
look less wise minus his chin whiskers.

STOLE A DOG.
Nervy Trick Of a Traveller Who
Took a Canine That Did
Not Belong to Him.

It is we'll known and established
fact that Canton is one Of the most pop
ular cities upon the face of the globe, and
in great demand on this account, but
few people are aware that this popular
ity extends even to the dogs, the hum
blest denizens of our streets. Monday
morning, as seven year old Ralph Crum
was standing at the p. Ft. w. & G. de-
pot trying to follow in his minds eye
the triumphant entry of the Tenth
Pennsylvania into Pittsburg, No. 32 roll
ed in and attracted the lads attention
again to mother earth and the stern re-
alities of life
A well-dressed stranger stepped from
the train and asked the boy what he
would take for the water spaniel which
he had with him. Ralph informed the
stranger that the dog was his father s
and he could not sell him without his
fathers consent. The well-dressed gen.
tleman did not appear exceptionally
we'll pleased with this bit of information
but whistled to the dog and proceeded
to make friends with him by persuasive
pats and affectionate terms. He was
still fondling the dog when the train
started, and he gently picked up the
dog with one hand and swung himself
aboard the train with the other. When
Ralph found himself so suddenly de-
prived of his canine friend he had re-
course to a good, soothing cry, and at
tracted the attention of a lady, who re-
ported the affair to Ticket Agent George
Irwin. AS soon as kind-hearted George
ascertained the fact that there was no
special train available he telegraphed
to Alliance for police assistance, ,and the
dog is expected to return at 5:24 this
evening. Arrangements have been made
to give him hearty greeting and cor
dial welcome to his home town.

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEB AsKA
(Chicago Chronicle.)

Mr.. William J. Bryan is a bold lea
der. The Nebraska election Of this year
Is not of great Importance. One judi
cial office and two regents of the uni
versity are to be elected. Such cam
paigns usually pass off without Incl
dents and the elections go by default.
OF itself the Nebraska campaign would
have no material interest or signifi-
cance-not as much as municipal
election in great city like Chicago or
New York. Nebraska is naturally a
Republican state, although Mr.. Bryan
carried 1t in 1896 by a majority of 49,
SIC and the fusion" candidate for COVER
nor was elected last year by a majority
Of 2,751, the Republicans carrying the
legislature.
Mr.. Bryan this year adopted the
policy of forcing the fighting. He de-
termined that the Nebraska election
should be closed with a national char
acter. He made himself and his plat
form the issue, to be determined by the
election or defeat of a candidate for
chief justice nominated in fusion con-
vention, or, rather, in three simultan-
eous conventions, by bodies of dele
gates representing himself as a presi-
Dental candidate and advocating the
platform of 1896 with his own most re-
cent construction and with new particu-
lars and details. This was bold and
plucky leadership, challenging a con-
test on ground so advanced that a more
timid man would not have chosen and
occupied it,
The Republicans understand, or pre-
tend to understand, the brilliant au-
dacity of Mr.. Bryan's policy and ask
the judgment of his own state on his
candidacy for president on his special
platform. 1t is probable that the coun-
try will soon understand it. If Mr.
Bryan carries his state triumphantly
in this off year with only judicial
candidate in the field-he and his plat
form being the avowed and real issue
no doubt he will be much nearer the
Democratic nomination for president
than he would have been without the
advantage of so decisive a personal
victory.
The Republicans are acting on their
explanation of the issue. They will
put up the biggest fight that the state
has ever seen. Hanna's reserve cor
ruption fund, the surplus left over in
that can be used in the campaign.
1896, will be drawn on for all the money
Speakers of national fame will be heard
on every stump. Mckinley will Incl
dentally appear on the scene as a sec
ond-term candidate to meet his oppo-
nent of 1896. The people of the whole
country will regard the result with ex-
treme interest.

OYER A ROAD.
County Commissioners Called to
Act as MediatOrs.
SUPERVISOR CUT NEW ROAD,
1t Is Alleged without Proper Notice TO the
Pr perty Holders Damage Suits
Were Threatened ON All

The county commissioners were called
upon to act as mediators in q misun-
derstanding existing between the trus-
tees of Plain township and the super
visor of District No. 5. At 10 o'clock
Trustees G. s. Kreighbaum, John Con-
rad and A. A. Reemsnyder were present
at the commissioners office in the court
house. Supervisor William Wackerly
was soon on the scene, Prosecutor Pom
creme was sent for and an hours dis
cussion of the matter in hand followed.
1t appeared that the supervisor was
instructed by the trustees of Plain
township to open a road between
Cleveland avenue and Market street
at a point near what is known as the
Mexico school house. Supervisor
Wackerly 1t is alleged, proceeded with
the work, tearing down fences and cut
ting trees without first having notified
the property owners through which the
30 foot road extends. This made the
farmers mad and the trustees were
threatened with damage suits. Wack-
erly claimed his notice was to the eff
feet to begin work at once and place the
road in passable condition. The trus-
tees claim Wackerly was to remove the
fences only. Wackerly performed labor
which he says is worth $160. The trus-
tees did not desire to pay the bill and
there was all sorts of trouble brewing in
Plain township when it was decided to
refer the matter to the commissioners
and Prosecutor Pomerene. The prose-
cutor gave his opinion and the COM
missioners poured oil on the waters in
the form of soothing words. After
spending the morning in argument no
definite conclusion was reached. A
commissioner stated to a News-Demo-

Prof. Schirman, a member of the
Philippine commission, since his return
to this country, says: "Our army in
the Philippines is merely an incident to
our designs upon China. The proposed
development of China by English and
American capital will make the
Flowery Kingdom at no remote day
the workship of he world. The promo
ters and projectors of railways and fac
tories in China will make large amounts
of money, but the children and grand
children of Americans who will suffer
under the blight of Chinese competi-
tion will have reason to curse them"
