And several thousand other things
fully as cheap, as we carry every.
thing the people use, except some
thing to wear, and the people should
know by this tins without telling
them again that we always carry the
best goods. And when anyone offers
you goods cheaper, you will fad by
comparing the brands that they are
NOT the same goods.
We do our best to please you, and
We know no Arm in Bates county can
sell you the same quality of goods
cheaper than we can, for we know
we buy cheaper, as we pay cash for
every dollars worth we buy; and
being 20 years in business in Butler,
have had lots of experience in learn
ing how to buy and what to buy.
We have lots to contend with. We
have competitors in the town who do
not try to talk the quality of THEIR
goods, but put in their full time try
ing to run OUR goods down. We
don't know what they have against
us, unless it is because we have sold
this year rs buggies, road wagons
and carriages; IL walking cultivatore,
~ riding cultivators, II corn plant
ers. 6 threshing machines, 81 bar
rows, Is Mccormick mowers, 1O|
binders and hay balers, hay leaders,
and all other goods in same proper
tion. This may be what caused the |
trouble.
II this is what caused our Gem
petitors to talk so hard against us |
this year, you people will surely
hear lots of it next year, for we have
already bought the same goods
again for next year, and abou. three
times as many. For when we cell q
that every customer who
buys says is the best they ever used,
or planter that they say could not
be beaten; or riding pillow that they
say could not be made better, that
S.year-old child can operate it, then
We surely would buy the same goods
again, and We expect to sell three
times as many next year.
And we can safely say that we
have the best buggies In the world:
the Say ers & Scovill buggies. They
were awarded first premium at the
Worlds Fair and every state fair
wherever shown. We have sold them
for the last 2 years, and only paid
ont Toe for repsirs. and that was for

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-05-16

The Republican press of Ohio is loud
in it's declaration that the Republican
State Convention must take position
against trusts Why not demand that
the administration enforce the antitrust
legislation already upon the statute
books? The trusts have hourished in
number and variety as they never have
before without molestation from the
president or his legal adviser, Attorney
General Griggs. Not even mild pre-
test has been entered, to date. There
is the smell of hypocricy in this news

MAINE DEMOCRATS ALL RIGHT.

The Dem 0crats Of the second congress
sional district of Maine nominated John
Scott, of Bath, as candidate for the
vacancy caused by the death of Nelson
Dingley, author of the famous Dingley
tariff bill.
We have no information as to the
sort of Democrat John Scott Is, but it
the resolutions adopted by the conven-
ton which nominated him, proclaim
the man, he is all right, and ought to
be elected. The convention reindorsed
the Chicago platform, setting forth that
these principles were triu nphed over by
"McKinleyism" which has given the
country brutal political bosslsm, relent-
less and graspiug trustism, blatant
Eaganism, criminal Algerism and rot
ton beefism-in word, unadulterated,
unreasoning and detestable modern
Republicanism, and bold and un-Ameri-
can imperialism.

Transactions by Pennsylvania and u. q o..

CLEVELAND, May 15.-Further devel-
opments in the fight of the Morgan
Vanderbilt combination tor the control
of Ohio railroads came to light. Some
time since the Morgans made an offer
for the Ohio Central, which was refused
by Judge Stevenson Burke, who controls
that line. The Hooking Valley road.
which is controlled by the Morgans, and
which competes in the coal fields with
the Ohio Central, began to cut the coal
rate. Cuts of 10, 20 and 30 cents ton
followed each other, and the Hooking
Valley turned heavy tonnage ovor to
the Vanderbilt roads in Michigan.
The Morgans are also after the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. 1t is
now announced that flyer between
Cincinnati and Toledo will be put on
the Big -Four and Hooking Valley roads
to compete with the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton flyer as a means of
bringing about what the Morgans are
anxious to accomplish.
Within the past few days two Inn
portant steps in the direction Of further
consolidation have been taken in the
sale of the Cleveland, Akron and Co.
lumbus to the Pennsylvania company,
and the making of traffic arrange
ment between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Norfolk and Western.

Democrats will make campaign in Stark
county just the same as though they had a
chance to ele somebody. Review.
You are right. The Democrats Of
Stark county will make campaign for
better COVE ,nment. A campaign
against trusts, combines, and monopo-
lies; against imperialism and militarism
and against "rottenness" in Office. 1t
is a we'll established principle Of the
Democratic party, that there is some
thing to fight for besides the spoils of
Office. But then it is a dead sure
certainty that Democrats will win in
Stark county.

not only to the receiver, but to the
giver as well, for IL is blessed to give
when given In the right way. Mr.. Car
negie, in an interview given few days
ago, stated that ''indiscriminaie charity
is bad" and "that $3.50 Of every $1,000
bestowed on so.called charity had better
be thrown into the sea-" His public
beneiactions indicate his idea Of
moneys best use, in his gifts to educs-
tional Institutions, libraries, art and
church murlc, to each Of which he has
been q liberal giver. There is an
other way in which Mr. Carnegie can
use his hundred millions that will be
more enduring than the building
Of costly monuments or the endowment
of magnificent libraries. Let him hunt
out each home of the laborsrs who con-
tributed to his mighty wealth, and II
therein he finds poverty and despair as
he will be likely to, let him like the
sweet Angel of Mercy and Charity, he
would have the world believe he is, al
leviate their sorrow and suffering, with
the great open hand he has, for doing
good to poor humanity. This mann ar
of giving would be attended with less
pomp and glory but it would give Mr.
Carnegie considerable better show of
having his name written in the "Lambs
Book of Life, "and 1t would not bean in
discriminate way OF giving either.

Antidote Against stings.

According to DR.. Friedlander Of
Wiesbaden, electricity Is an antidote
against stings of insects His plan in
such cases is to apply constant cur
rent and to place negative cathode on
the spot stung by the insect. Galvani-
zation produces rather strong sensa-
ton of burning, but at the same time
the pain from the sting disappears, and
if the electricity is applied very soon
after the wound has been inflicted there
is little or no swelling. The current,
however, does excellent service even If
it be not applied until after some time
has elapsed, for it removes the pain and
also quickly reduces the swelling The
supposition is that the poison which
the insect has injected through the skin
is neutralized and rendered inpocuous
by the current.
DR.. Friedlander has repeatedly made
experiments Of this kind on persons
who have been stung by bees and wasps
and has invariably found them success
full He naturally believes that SIM
liar result would be obtained in the
cases of persons stung by other insects.

Thackeray,. Tenderness.

The following letter was written in
1888 by Thackeray to his wife. Surely
more tender message, more truly in
stinct with love and religion, was never
framed
"Here have we been two years mar
ried and not single unhappy day. Oh,
do bless God for all this happiness
which he has given mel 1t is so great
that almost tremble for the future,
except that l humbly hope-for what
man is certain about his own weakness
and wickednessY Our love is strong
enough to Withstand any pressure from
without, and, as it is gift greater
than any fortune, is likewise one supe-
rior to poverty or sickness or any other
worldly evil with which Providence
may visit us. Let us pray, as I trust
there is no harm, that none of these
may come upon us, as the best and
wisest in the world prayed that he
might not be led into temptation.
II think happiness is as good as
prayers, and feel in my heart kind
of overfowing thanksgiving which is
quite too great to describe in writing.
This kind of happiness is like a fine

DOUBT AS TO GOMEZ.
Believed He Helped Delay Pay
ment of Cubans.
DISARMAMENT MAY BE FORCED.
Thought Serious-Gomez De-
clined to Have Further Connection
With Payment of Troops-Said There
Was Opposition to Him.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-High officials
in the war department were reluctant
to discuss the Cuban situation, but the
news of Gomez action did pot cause
much surprise among army officers who
are we'll informed about the Cubans,
especially those who are known as
"soldiers of fortune" and who have
been bitterly disappointed because the
island was not turned over to them inn
mediately after the Spanish surrender.
There is an impression also that the in
tention of General Brooke to see the
S., 600, 900 are distributed among all the
Cuban troops has caused disappoint-
ment among the many generals" and
other high officers who were evidently
expecting to secure large share of the
money.
The belief was expressed that the sit
uation in Cuba is serious and that care
full and diplomatic management will be
needed.
1t was stated that no orders would be
issued to General Brooke, as he had am
pie authority to deal with any situation
which might arise. There seems to be
a belief that General Gomez has con-
tributed to the delay in the payment of
the money.
HAVANA, May 16.-General Maxine
Gomez at an interview informed Gov
ernor General Brooke that he could no
longer act as representative Of the Gu
ban army in the distribution of the 49,
600, 900 appropriated for the payment OF
the Cuban troops.
General Gomez added that he had
arrived at his decision with great re-
luctance and with the most friendly
feelings toward General Brooke person
ally and officially. He explained that
former members of the Cuban military
assembly, led by Mayia Rodriguez,
Manuel Sanguilly, Juan Gaulberto and
other malcontents, had organized ma.
| jority of the officers against him appar-
entity, and though he (Gomez) might
| persist and possibly carry the payment
| to successful conclusion he was dis
| gusted and wished to wash his hands OF
the whole business. Therefore he
| thought that If he left General Brooke
free the latter would be able to act with
equal effectiveness alone.
Gen. Brooke expressed sympathy with
Gen. Gomez and said he regretted the
position he had taken; but, the Ameri
can commander added, il his decision
was Interchangeable, he would proceed Il
deal with the question alone.
1t was then mutually agreed that Gen
Gomez will issue today manifesto /,
the Cuban army. After it has been is
sued Gen. Brooke may make a declara
ton declaring the manner in which h
will proceed. He Is determined not T.
be trihed with. He has the rolls Of tn
privates and non-commiGsioned officers
who ARE willing to ACCEPT $50 each, ant
this amount will be offered on the con
ditions previously laid down. A forci
BILE disarmament OF the Cuban troop
will be the ultimate procedure pre-
yided the events Of the next two c
three weeks show that such action
necessary.

The Canton schools can be, and ought
to be made the best in the state. Un-
der the able and efficient management
of Mr.. John Ssrver as acting superin-
teudent, the schools have already
shown marked improvement. Mr..
sarver ranks among the ablest and fore
most educators of the state, and bis
election as superintendent of the oan-
ton schools would be a just recognition
Of merit, and would no doubt meet with
the most hearty approval of the citizens
of Canton.
