There is not farmer in Mahoning
county who believes with Bryan in his
recent Delaware speech, that they have
been kept out of their share of pros
perity. They believe, and rightly too,
that they are getting all that is coming
to them.--Youngstown Telegram.
Whether or not the Telegram makes
this statement concerning the Mahon-
ing county farmers, with absolute
knowledge of their belief on the matter
referred to. we do not know. But we
do know that the same belief does not
prevail among Stark county farmers.
The farmer who does not know that he
is not prospering as the trusts do, must
be "shy" on his arithmetic.

WAR MAXIMS UP TO DATE.
New York World.)


The history thus far of Great
Britain's attempt to crush the Boer re-
publcs suggests a new version of wal
maxims:
Trust in God and get the best guns
God is apt to be on the side of the
strongest position.
Uniforms do not make soldiers, nor
does gold lace make generals.
After a raid prepare against an in
vasion.
Thrice is he armed who can shoot
straight at long range.
To underrate your enemy is even more
foolish than to overrate yourself.
Men who prepare for battle by saying
prayers and singing psalms must not be
)despised because they seldom take a
bath.
Fighting colored races who wear only
a breech cloth or pajamas is different
proposition from fighting Dutchmen
who wear homespun trousers and carry
Mausers.

The National Board of Trade has
indorsed the shipping subsidy bill Thus
far the measure has met the approval
of nearly everybody who wants to eX-
tend American commerce.-Clevelan
Leader.
Oh, no! Not everybody. The Republi-
cans and the Republican press even are
not, by any means. a unit in favor Of
the Hanna Ship Subsidy bill. The in
famous scheme is meeting with opposi-
tion from some of the leading Republi-
can newspapers, among them the Chi
cago Tribune, which declared THAT
the plea that the merchant marine
and the commercial interests of the
country would benefit by the proposed
subsidies is bosh and that the only bene-
ticiaries would be the ship owners who
received bounties from the treasury"

DOINGS IN THE
LEGISLATURE.

Columbus, Feb. 1.-The state senate
spent two hours Wednesday discussing
the proposition to have printed and dis
tributed to members of the two houses
copies of "Howes History" and the "St.
Clair Papers" There was a perfect
food or oratory and members covered
all the ground from the Declaration of
Independence to the battle Of Manila in
an effort to prove that patriotism and
love of honor dictated the distribution
of these two historical works.
The "Howe's History" resolution
came up on a report of conference
committee and after sufficient amount
of spread eagle oratory was passed,
though Mr.. Cohen contended that it was
wrong for the state to buy books for
the few with the taxes paid by the
many. The conference committee was
finally agreed to-.
The resolution to buy 1000 copies of
the st. Clair's history was discussed for
an hour. The resolution only provides
for five copies for each senator and
member, and Mr.. Shippard said that
Win only HVe copies TO distribute a
senator would make enough enemies
to defeat him for reelection.
He denounced the practice Of the
state In furnishing thousands of col
umns of state reports which are never
read and found an early place with the
junk dealer. The resolution received
sixteen votes, and, though some OF the
senators declared the bill should have
a two-thirds vote, the president of the
senate declared the resolution passed.
Only one bill was introduced in the
senate during the morning hour, and
this local bill by Senator Williams.
placing Morrow county officers on a
salary. The Tuscarawas county salary
bill by Mr.. Hurst was reported favor
ably and at the afternoon session the
bill passed.

the ASA A.slNAT1oN OF GoEBEL.

The assassination of Goebel, or the
attempt to kill him, on the steps of the
state house at Frankfort, has no equal
in the history of crime in Kentucky,
or elsewhere. 1t was the elimination of
the lawiessness which has been per-
mitted, unrestrained by authority, to
overrun the state capital for some
weeks past
The shooting down of Goebel was not
the work of some irresponsible crank,
nor was it the work of some blood -thirs-
ty desperate seeking the life of an in
nocent victim. 1t was, without doubt,
the carrying into execution of a we'll
and carefully laid plan to remove Mr..
Goebel forever beyond the possibility of
the governorship of Kentucky. 1t was
known that within a few hours Mr..
Goebe would be declared the legally
elected governor of Kentucky. 1t was
also known that from the decision of the
legislature there could be no appeal.
There was but one way to prevent Mr..
Goebel from being governor of Ken
tucky. 1t was the assassin's bullet
That it was not the work of one man,
insanely thirsty for blood, but that it
was the plan of a furious and desperate
class of politicians, all the circumstan-
ces indicate. For days past armed
mountaineers, wearing Taylor badges,
had taken possession of the capital
They had evidently come for a purpose,
and that purpose was to prevent the
seating of Goebel, should he be declared
the governor of the state. They took
possession of the state house without
interference or even remonstrance on
the part Of Governor Taylor. whose
political and gubernatorial opponent
Mr.. Goebel was.
Mr.. Taylor and his political co-work-
ers no doubt wished it so. Their hands
are stained with the blood of Goebel.
The tears that Taylor shed came too
late. The crime is upon his head.

Attorney James Sterling states that
his son William Sterling, who came
home from campaign in the Philip
pines with his mind shattered by the in
fiuences of the camp and firing line, is
rapidly recovering and will get entirely
well. The young man was first placed
in the state hospital at Massillon, but
four weeks ago was taken to the private
asylum at Cuyahoga Falls and placed
under the care of DR.. Searle. In speak
ing of the case Wednesday Mr.. Sterling
said:
IF Will had staid at the state hos
pital at Massillon a little longer they
would have made him a raving maniac.
I don't want anything more to do with
that institution. When he was in q
condition needing treatment they did
not treat him, but locked him in dark
room and then the attendants would
go in and out and get him into q fight.
There is too much done there for the
purpose of getting a political pull and
not enough for the inmates Of the place
who need care. DR.. Eyman has selected
a couple of inexperienced boys for his
assistants who know nothing about the
work and the requirements of the pa

Lords of the world by right divine"

These are the Lords that make men

And cent-per-cent's their only law

A FINE LOCKER BUT A POOR DOER.

Mr.. Bourke Cochran has been heard
from with reference to the policy which
the Democratic party and it's leader,
Mr.. Bryan, should pursue in the next
presidential contest. Mr.. Cochran has
not spoken for sometime-we believe
not since 1896 when he turned his back
on the Democratic party-and what he
has to say now is perhaps of not much
Importance to the party or it's leader.
The New York Morning Telegraph,
an Independent newspaper, sizes up Mr..
Cochran in the following style, descrip-
tive of the orator of the East:
We are pleased to announce that the
Ship Of State is sailing on an even
keel. The unexpected shift of bag of
animated political ballast, to wit:
BOurke Cochran, did not cause the craft
to list perceptibly. The state of Mr..
Cockran's mind and his political belief
are not of vast Importance to either
party. Mr. Cochran has changed be-
fore, only to affect himself and no one
else. Mr. Bryan is no nearer nomina-
ton and election now than he was be-
fore the golden-to ornament
of party stump declared in his favor.
Note that the declaration was guarded.
Cochran still takes himself profoundly.
He figures himself as of Importance, and
leaves a gap in the fence where he may
step if invited. Mr.. Cochran is not a
safe adviser, and we would suggest to
the favored Child of Destiny from
Nebraska. His political methods are
not of the best He was taken up some
years ago by Tammanys leader, and
all the political preferment he ever
had came through Mr.. Croker and
Tammany hall. There came a time when
the inconsiderable Frankenstein crea-
ture imagined himself larger than his
creator He reviled Tammanys chief
tain and reproached Tammany. That
was the last of Cochran as a factor. He
has done much talking since, but has
few achievements to his credit
Mr.. Cockran's war on trusts appears
to us like a. joke. If 1t were levied in
good faith. the trusts would still be
worth underwriting, and 1t is doubtful
if the insurance premium would be ap-
preciably raised, but there is always a
question of sincerity goes with Mr..
Cockran's actions He is sedulous to
cultivate the society of the great cap
tains of money, His pursuit of million
aires has been so marked and so charac-
teristic that we have often reflected If
Mr.. Cochran had not been natural
born great man, he would have made
the finest figure of butler ever known
up one side of Fifth avenue and down
the other. 1t is possible that Mr.. Cock
ran, like many of the rest of us, can
differentiate between the man and the

THE BURDEs OF RICHES.

At a recent meeting of the Young
Mems Bible class in New York, at
which Andrew Carnegie and John d.
Rockefeller were the speakers, Mr..
Carnegie said:
"As a young man had the best edu-
cation in the world with which to be-
gin life. 1 was born to the blessed
heritage of poverty. I hope I speak to
poor young men tonight. 1t is my earn
est hope that none of you are burden
ed with the care of riches. When this
burden is laid upon a young man and
he acts his part well he deserves double
credit. He is surely the salt of the
earth"
What Mr.. Carnegie said Mr.. Rookie
feller approved And this is not the
first time these millionaire gentlemen
have spoken in public about the bless
ed heritage Of poverty" and the burden
of riches" 1t has been repeated by
both Of them again and again. In fact
so often have young men especially been
admonished against the accumulation
of great riches and the burden which
they impose that the young men Of the
country must by this time be pretty
thoroughly convinced that either what
they say must be so, or that both are
pious frauds. There is, however, one
thing, in what these gentlemen say
about the burden of great riches"
which when compared with their lives
would seem inconsistent If not dishon-
est. Both gentlemen while expatiating
on this subject are all the while ad-
ding to the burden" Both are at all
times not only willing to enlarge the
load they each must bear, but actually
actively engaged in seeking it. But
both being of philanthropic mind and
heart, this may be due to the fact that
they wish to relieve their fellowmen Of
the onerous burden great riches must
entail But If Mr.. John d. Rockefeller
is really in earnest, and means what
he says, hadn't he better Just quit
controlling lawmakers, both state and
national, in the interest of the Standard
Oil company, and restore to the people
what he has wrongfully taken from
them? His chances for heaven, would
be more greatly improved thereby than
his Sunday school and bible talks to
young men about the Heritage of
Poverty and the Burden of Great
Riches"

calling. He recognizes the merits of the
individual while he regrets the individu-
ais methods. If we were called upon to
give Mr.. Bryan advice in this crisis
of Cochran, we would earnestly insist
upon his taking Cochran and sinking
him. Cochran will be drag and OBJ
structlon to any enterprise with which
he may be connected He is like the
personable horse of tradition whose
negro owner offered for sale at an
extremely low price. Upon being asked
why he rated such a high class ami
NAL at such a low class price the negro
replied:
Hits true he's a powful fine loolxeh,
but he's mos a mighty bad do'eh."

TRADING STAMPS" MUST GO.

Mr.. Snyder's bill, introduced in the
Ohio Legislature to prohibit the use of
trading stamps" ought to become law.
There is probably not a merchant in
Canton who believes in the trading
stamp" business. Many of them, If not
all, who now give trading stamps
look upon II as a nuisance. And their
customers begin to look at 1t in the
same light. There can be no real gain
to the purchaser in the receiving OF
trading stamps" for every time he re-
ceives a dollars worth of stamps he
pays a dollar for them. That is, he
gives the merchant the price OF the arti-
Gle plus the amount of the stamps re-
ceived When he receives stamps the
value of which is one dollar, he will find
that he has paid one dollar fol
them, though ne may not know II. Mer-
chants giving trading stamps" had
better give their customers cash-tht
transaction would then be plain and
fair--and would in the end amount tC
the same thing TO both the merchant
and customer. The trading stamp
business should never have been inaug
urated by the merchants of Canton. 1
is a bad practice and should be abolish
ed. Mr. snyder's bill will do it. Il
ought to receive the hearty approval o.
merchants and purchasers alike, and 4
no doubt win.

he has the prestige of the Roberts case

is half as big a man as his Canton

biggest Republican in the district if
not in the state. and his title none will
