This is a good season to commence
Christmas giving, with the unfortunate
occupants of the late Saxton block as
beneficiaries.
The spread Of the flames was mirac-
ulous, but the saving of the Grand op-
era house was a miracle which only
the firemen can appreciate.
II the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
amended or defeated Secretary Hay
threatens to resign. This is the most
poent argument yet offered in favor Of
amending or defeating the treaty.
Marlboro furnishes a sample Of the
intelligent census taker. A man named
Southworth, of that village, was re-
ported as being totally blind, while in
fact he has good eyes. 1t was another
case of the blind enumerating the al
legged blind.
Now, don't be mean enough to tell

stroying the great Joy she takes in her
childish delusion.

The attention of the board of health
is called to an infection that has broken
out at the court house. 1t is known to
science as connubialosis. While 1t has
been known to break out in Summer,
1t has seldom made itself so manifest
in the winter season. The germ of this
rot unplearant disease has been com
municated to the shefiff's office, and IL
is said the microbe has penetrated the
armor of the highest constabulary in
the county. A peculiarity of the infec-
tion is that it attacks only the men
folks. leaving the lady copyists and
clerks in the building heartwhole. An
effort is making to coniine the disease
to the building, so that officials, who be-
come susceptible, may confine their at
tention to the good looking young
women Immediately at hand. How
they come to overlook so many pleasant
young ladies is an idio.yncrasy that
Is inexplicable, and demonstrates,
again, the advisabiiity of introducing
into the court house, Democratic off,
cials of fine, discriminating eye.
The bin to create new Federal judge
for this district to relieve Judge Kicks
has been introduced in the senate. II

condition in the district, but the oppo-
sition to 1t makes strong point. One
correspondent says that a member of
congress said: THE thing to relieve
Parties favoring the bill urge that he
Is too i'll to attend to his duties. If that
is the reason the docket Is crowded,
let him resign, and his place can be
filled by appointment at once" The
meat in the suggestion is likely to ap-
peal strongly to congress, but 1t may be
that Judge Kicks will feel forced to re-
tire. Whatever happens. the matter is
certain to come to a head very shortly,
and Canton gentlemen, whose press
agents state that will decline the honor
II il is not offered to them, win soon
know their fate.
A great many Republicans have been
talking of the statement in the News
Democrat few days since, concerning
prospective candidates for county Off
ces, on the Republican ticket. A num-
ber of gentlemen thought they ought to
be considered somewhat, before the jobs
are parceled out, but there seems to be
no disposition to take the people into
the confidence of the Stark county ring.
Whether Mayor Wise. of Massillon,
Senator Snyder, of Canton, or any other
Republican who aspires to the job, likes
1t or not, City Clerk Mcconnell, of ALI
ance, has been slated for auditor. He
was to have the, nomination provided
he could switch certain persons away
from other Offices. For instance, Cap
tain W. w. King wanted to be county
clerk. He was preparing to seek the
nomination. He is an Alliance man,
