THE "HAND-wRIrING" ON THE WALL

The Iowa House of Representatives
on Thursday last adopted the following
resolutions:
"BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
HOUSE, THE SENATE CONCUR
RING, THAT THE PEOPLE OF IOWA
ARE UNALTERABLY OPPOSED TO
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY
TARIFF DUTIES BETWEEN THE
UNITER STATES AND ANY TERRI
TORY ACQUIRED AS A RESULT OF
THE NISH-AMERICAN WAR,
THE PEOPLE OF WHICH ACCEPT
ED THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THIS
GOVERNMENT WITHOUT RESIS-
TANCE and VOLUNTARILY PASSED
UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF IT'S
CONSTITUTION AND LAWS"
The House is composed of 81 Republi-
cans and 10 Democrats. There was no
opposition to the resolution, but several
Of the members of each party made
stirring speeches in favor Of it. This
can be taken as an indication of western
sentiment on the presidents position to
force a tariff tax on the people of
Puerto Rico. and should serve as a
warning as to what is yet to come, if
Mr.. Mckinley insists on going back on
"our plain duty"

T. The local imperial organ has again
opened up it's mud batteries on the Dem
ocratic candidate for school board. The
Democrats had hoped that the campaign
might be conducted in an open, fair and
dignifed manner, but it seems the post
master editor will not have it that way.
If, however, he persists in having it a
campaign of abuse, the Democrats will
in self-defense, and out of self-respect,
be compelled to open up a few things
that might not smell so sweet when
placed before the public. If the post
master editor is laboring under the de-
lusion that at least some of his candi-
dates do not live in glass houses" he
had better make a little investigation.
The Democrats do not want to engage in
mud singing" unless forced to it by
the postmaster editor.

The increasi9g use of money in Col
umbiana politics is becoming the sub
ject of considerable comment. The SEN
timent of the southern part of the coun-
ty was considered favorable to Baker
for congress and Tayler for Judge. Yet
the result was directly contrary to the
opinions of those who had investigated
the situation. 1t is said that Tayler and
Amber people combined and hired their
workers for the two. However that
may be, there was money, and plenty of
it, put into the fight. The East Liver
pool Crisis, in it's description of the close
of the fight in East Liverpool says:
There was no question but what a
huge amount of money has been and is
still being used in East Liverpool. The
heelers have been in clover for a week
or more and it was stated on good au-
thority this morning that fresh funds
were received by one or two local cam
paign managers today.
The effect of this combination of in
tensely bitter personal feeling both in
the congressional and judiciary contests
and the big amount of coin" showered
into the campaign funds will probably
result in big vote this afternoon.

TAYLER WON,
TAYLOR LOST.
1t Is All a Matter of Spelling In
Columbiana County.
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RESULT.
Attorney Amber Gets All But Eight of the
judicial Delegstes-Baker Fall
ed to Knock Out Com
gresham Tayler

The Columbiana county Republican
primaries were held last Saturday for
the election of delegates to the judicial
and congressional conventions. Much
interest was taken in the contest, for
upon the result depended largely the
political fate Of Congressman Tayler
and Judge 1. II. Taylor. The congress-
man won out in the fight, but the judge
met a disastrous defeat
The following special to the News
Democrat gives the official returns:
East Liverpool, March 26.-This after
noon official returns from every pre-
cinct in the county except one, gave Con-
gresham Tayler 55R delegates and Ba-
ker 25R. Judge Taylor received IL GER
tain, and possibly IL, and Amber the
balance of the 81 delegates. East Liv-
erpool gave r. w. Tayler 4S5 plurality
and Amber S43 to spare. In Salem
Baker had a plurality of 81. Lisbon's
vote was a great surprise. The town
gave Congressman Tayler 657 and Ba-
ker 205. Lisbon also gave Judge Taylor
4S over Amber. In Wellsville the Penn
sylvania company's influence swung the
railroad vote to Baker. He carried the
town by 23. The Baker people talked of
contest at Salineville, where the vote
stood Tayler 200, Baker 1856. This idea
however, was abandoned.
Congressman Tayler, when interview
ed this morning expressed himself as
amply satisfied. He had all along con-
sidered, he said, that he needed only
80 Columbiana county delegates to win
and he now has So or 56.
Mr.. Baker was in Canton Monday
morning, comforting with his friends.
He declares himself we'll satisfied with
the opposition that has developed in
Congressman Tayler's own county to his
candidacy and points to the fact that he
secured 25R delegates and came within
a dozen votes of carrying twelve more
delegates. Mr. Baker says he will keep
in the fight and he expects to win out by
capturing enough in Stark county to
keep Tayler from going in on the first
ballot. If he can do this he feels sure
of final victory, with the help of Mahon-
ing county.
THE JUDGESHIP.
The contest for the nomination for
common pleas judge was very one-sided.
Attorney Ralph Amber Of this city was
given very fiattering vote by the people
of his native county. He captured all
but twelve of the 81 delegates, Judge
Taylor getting those of Center township,
in which Lisbon is located.
There will be PA delegates in the Judi
cial convention and it will require los
to nominate. Mr.. Amber has already SO
and needs 81 more. 1t is pretty general
ly conceded that Judge Taylor will get
Carroll county solid with her rs votes, so
the contest viii now be in Stark. There
are 10S delegates to elect here and Judge
Taylor must get 79 of them to win. Mr..
Ambler's friends declare they are sure
of victory. They declare that the
strength developed by Mr.. Amber in
Columbiana county practically settles
the contest and they expect the opposi-
ton in Stark to dwindle away.

TAYLOR PRESIDED
In the George Case and McKin-
ley Worked Against
Him.

A special dispatch from East Liver
pool to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
AS the result of Saturdays Republican
county primary Congressman r. w.
Tayler, who is asking denomination in
hte Eighteenth district, will go into the
convention with a divided delegation
from his home county.
Indications are that Tayler will take
541a delegates out of this county, and c.
c. Baker, of Alliance, 261a The East
Liverpool potters stood by Tayler, Civ
ing him a majority of 4S9 in the city,
while Wellsville and Salem went to
Baker. In Salem very bitter postoffice
fight resulted in the knitting of Tayler.
The other two counties in the Eigh-
teenth district are Mahoning and
Stark. Tayler claims he can split even
with Baker in his home county of
Stark. Tayler is serving his third term
now.
The result on common pleas judge
was a surprise. Ralph S. Amber, of
Canton, almost swept the county, carry
ing all the large towns except Lisbon.
Judge I. II. Taylor, of Carrollton, the
present incumbent, will get probably 10
out of the 81 delegates. Judge Taylor,
it will be remembered, presided in the
Mrs. Anna e. George case, at Canton,
last year, and it is alleged, that the
influence Of the McKinleys was used
against him.

THESE FACTS MACRUM DEMON
STRATED BY PRODUCING THE EN-
VELOPES BEARING THE CENSOR'S
STAMP.
What is the answer of the Mckinley
administration? An effort to hush the
matter up; to suppress investigation;
to conceal and to obscure the facts.
Instead of demanding manfullly of the
accused nation an explanation of and an
apology for its wanton and insolent vio-
lation of international law and cour-
tesy the government at Washington
disavows it's own official, drives him
out of the capitol with ridicule and
abuse, pronounces him a liar without
investigation and evidence in his pos
session or permitting congress to in
vestigate it,
He is a brave official who today, in
the face of the crawling subservience
of the Mckinley administration to
Great Britain dares to antagonize that
power. The wise and prudent course
for him who desires to hold his job
was fitly indicated by Consul Macrum's
successor, the son of the secretary of
state, who stopped to pay his respects
at the British foreign office in London
before proceeding to his post at the
capitol of a state with which Great
Britain is at war. But this supine and
servile attitude of the administration
must not be permitted to interfere with
the fullest investigation into the Mac
rum case, and Democrats in house and
senate should agitate increasingly for

In a letter which we print today, Mr..
George A. Macbeth, the greatest lamp
chimney manufacturer in the world,
shows how the lead trust, by the aid of
our tariff, sells lead for $40 per 10Ofbs,
in New York. and for $3.50 in London
a difference of $22 per tor. Mr.. Macoeth
does not discuss his own affairs in pun
lie. Had he done so he might have
said that his concern, the Mac beth
Evans Glass company, consumes about
40 tons of lead a week, or 1000 tons
a year. Hence on this one item, which
most people do not suppose TO enter
into lamp chimneys at all, his company
must pay $4,000 a year more than is
paid by foreign rivals. This tribute is
forced from his company by the lead
trust. 1t is enabled to do 80 because
our government protects it: or, as Mr..
Macbeth says, keeps off any competi-
tors" and enables it to dictate prices to
us protected" Americans.
Another important item in the manu-
facture Of glass is soda ash. Four years
ago soda ash was selling ct 50 cents per
100 lbs. The manufacturers got to-
gether and fixed the price at G5 cents.
They sell through only one agent wing

enables them to maintain this price, al.

Americans at higher prices. But Mac
beth does not believe in that way OF
conducting business. He is reaching
out and seeking to control the whole
world. He had almost done It, not
wihtstanding his handicap by tariff
prices OF raw materials. and asserts his

MURDER IN THE UNITED STATES.

The Chicago Times Herald publishes
what purports to be the correct number
of murders committed in each state and
territory. The result was obtained by
averaging the statistics for number of
years and in the list, Montana is credited
with ninety murders each twelve months.
Naturally, this statement will be a
surprise to people here, yet taking into
account those years when homicides
We're quite numerous in Montana, it may
be correct, although the number of mur-
ders during the present year. for in
stance is far below the figure given
Texas leads the entire list, with over a
thousand murders a year, while New
York has but 512.
The list is full of meaning to the crim-
inalogist and shows that we are still ten
thousand murders a year away from the
fulness of Christian civiiza tion,' The
