BIG WHITE WASH BILL.

Secretary Gage has issued a state
ment of the money expended for max
ing an investigation of the conduct of
the war. which reveals some very
startling facts. The committee appoint
ed by the president, known as the
Beef Board" which whitewashed the
war department, spent more than $780,
900, half of which went to the members
of the board as compensation. Be-
sides the members drew over $4,000 as
per diem expenses. One item is for
$1s,S 1881, to the e"Public Printer for print
ing so copies of the report. Not one Of
these complete reports have ever been
made public. One special train cost $4,-
43O and another item $3,2S3.22, for Pull
man cars. Brigadier General j. M.
Wilson, chief engineer officer of the
army received $1,000 for his six months
services in addition to his regular pay,
in violation of the Revised Statues,
which reads:
nv oHiSSi III any piaiiCi VI TIE pun
lie service, or any other person whose
pay or emoluments are fixed by law OF
regulations, shall receive any additional
pay, or extra allowance, or compensa-
ton, in any form whatever. for the
disbursement of public money, or foi
any other service or duty whatever un-
less the same is authorized by law anC
the appropriation explicitly states
that it is for such additional pay, ex'
ira allowance or compensation"
To meet these expenses, the Ameri
can people are required to pay dali,
tribute in the form of internal revenue
taxes" And. what do they get In re
turn? A report az "rottenH as th'

It has been repeatedly stated by
Representative Snyder that the most
prominent citizens of Canton are de-
manding the change in the city govern
ment proposed in his Ripper bill.
Who are these prominent Citizens?"
The public would like to know. And,
why do they so much desire to have a
change in the form of government for
Canton? And in what respect would
the change proposed be an improvement
over the present system of govern
ment? Who will answer?

employed? What sort of response would
he be likely to hear from the other
side of the Atlantic? We might expect
to hear of a great mass meeting in
London under the auspices of the min
listers of that city calling on the
British government to use it's influence
with the president of the United States
to stop this bloody and inhuman war in
the Philippines and to propose arbitra-
tion between the United States and
the Filipinos. And the respone from

Mr.. Chamberlain knew perfectly well
that he had the Mckinley administra-
tion completely muzzled before he sail
ed forth for the conquest of the South
African republics and subjugation of
their people. He knew that the McKin-
ley administration could not oppose him
and must in reality sustain him in his
career of criminal aggression. And he
knew that Republican congress must
remain ignobly silent in the fact of a
century of precedents calling for ex-
pressions of sincere sympathy for a
people engaged in a desperate struggle
New York ministers should turn their
efforts in another direction.

ticians.

A peace mass meeting was held in
Carnegie hall, New York, the other
night under the auspices of the min
listers Of the city. 1t is interesting to
note that the pacific zeal of the partici-
pants in this meeting was restricted to
South Africa.
The spirit of the meeting seems to
have been expressed pretty compre-
hensively by Rev. DR.. ]. B. Remen-
sneider, in these words: Let us, in the
name of the American. people, in the
name of the church of Christ, in the
name of humanity, call upon our
government to interpose it's friendly
offices to stop this war if it can. When
this call reaches our honored president
should he propose and secure arbitra-
ton the act would shine with the
whitest lustre of any act in American
history"
And the assembled people called upon
Mr.. Mckinley accordingly. But it did
not do so until Robert d. Roosevelt had
made the suggestive remark that he
hoped the time would come when
America could intervene. This remark
implied that now was not the time. And
the very American, christian and hu-
name people who, with a far-away look
in their eyes, begged the president to
intervene, will find that the president is
decidedly of this opinion.
And If they would direct their at
tention to things more nearly con-
cerning ourselves they would have no
difficulty in understanding why. What
are the English trying to do in South
Africa? Trying to hoist their flag in
the Orange Free State and the South
African republic and keep it there. They
make no secret of that any longer.
At first they pretended they were doing
their turn for liberty and humanity.
They have dropped that pretense pretty
much and now admit that they mean to
wipe two republics off the map, all for
the glory of the British empire and the
profit to certain Englishmen.
This looks like a case in which we
might exert our influence in behalf of
peace, christianity, humanity and the
principles of liberty which we once
professed to hold dear. But wait a
moment. What is McKinley's admins
tration doing in another quarter of the
globe? Waging a relentless war for
the conquest Of a people who "are and
of right ought to be free and indepen-
dent" to borrow the language used by
congress in speaking of the Cubans
just as truly as the burghers of South
Africa ought OF be free and indepen-
dent.
How is president Mckinley going to
preach peace, humanity, freedom and
all that to the English while he is thus

Columbus, Feb. 7.-Speaker pro
tenn. Jacob Snyder has in his
pocket bill which he will introduce
when opportunity affords, to license
night soilers, taxing upon them such a
fee as the city council (of such city
as that to which the act may apply,
and 1t is drawn with Canton especially
in view, may fix.
Mr.. Pollock has read for presentation
bill intended to recoup the bridge fund
of Stark county. The floods of 1897 and
1898, which destroyed or damaged many
of the bridges in the county and said
to have caused so great drain upon
leave it short last year and this. Mr..
Pollock's bill, If it becomes law, will
authorize the county commissioners to
make levy of seven-tenths of a mill
for the purpose indicated.
Mr.. Pollock has received letters from
who claim also to have voted for him,
asking him to support the Clark local
option bill. This bill is made the spe-
cial order of today at 10:30 a. M, and
will precipitate big fight in the house.
A flaw, or a weakness in the BILL which
has been discovered and is discounte-
nanced by those who are really In favor
of the passage of fair temperance bill,
is that it provides, in case of a failure
to carry of local option at an election,
the question may be re-submitted in
two years; while on the other hand, If
it carries, those opposed to the regula-
ton are not given the authority to pc
tition for resubmission at any time
The friends of the measure claim that
the intent of the bill is to be fair to all
parties.
The members from Stark. Columbi-
ana, Jefferson and Carroll are receiving
appeals innumerably for the support of
Sunday amendments of the game laws
of the state. But the present laws, as
well as the new bills and amendments
proposed, are so confusing in. their pro-
visos, and so diversified and chaotic in
their requirements, that If the commit
tee on fish and game culture suoceed in
bringing order out of confusion they
will merit the gratitude not only of their
constituency but of their general as
sembly as well.
Representatives Of trading stamp
concerns have been before the house
committee protesting against the pass
age of Mr.. Snyder's bill. The conianit-
tee has not yet reported the bill.
The finance committee of the house

sentatives Snyder and Pollock did not
vote. Inasmuch as both have been
heretofore regarded as the especial rep

their failure to vote at all, is unexplain-
able, unless it may be regarded as a
compromise.

Columbus dispatches indicate that
Mr.. Snyder's Ripper bill will not
have the unanimous support of the
Stark county representatives. A
visit to Canton has, without a doubt,
revealed TO them the fact that the tax
payers are not asking for a change in
the citys government on the lines pro-
posed by Mr.. Snyder's bill, but that on
the contrary, they are opposed
to it. The truth is, the citizens
of Canton are not asking for a change
in the form of their city govern
ment, and more, they do not want it.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Snyder was
prepared by a few politicians and for
a few politicians who are clamoring for
its passage.
