Charles A, Towne was in Toledo yes
terday and took occasion to call on
a number of Democratic leaders who
are warmest in the support of free
silver. Mr.. Towne has been nominated
for second place on the Populist ticket
that was named at Sioux Falls, but de-
clared in an interview that he is not
Populist nor is Mr.. Bryan. He says
that that convention simply went out
of its own party for its candidates in
a patriotic effort to defeat McKinleyism.
Now If the Democratic convention at
Kansas City should not see fit to select
Mr.. Towne, will he be patriotic enough
in his effort to defeat McKinleyism that
he will tender his resignation as the
Sioux Falls candidate? Will he let the
issue be plain without the annoyances
occassioned by the Populists in 1896,
who insisted on presidential cam
didate Of their own?

about o'clock Friday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Bonner, Of Salineville, met
with an accident which resulted in the
death Of Mrs. Bonner few hours later.
They were driving down a long hill into
town when the harness gave way and
the horse ran off. The occupants Of the
vehicle were thrown against q tele-
phone pole and Mrs. Bonner was so Sc
riously injured that she died at o'clock
the same evening. Mr.. Bonner was al
so seriously injured but it cannot be
determined at present whether his in
juries will prove fatal or not.
Mr.. Bonner is prominent saloon
keeper in Salineville and was one Of
the most active opponents Of the local
option movement which was voted upon
in Salineville last Saturday.
Two horses and buggies were stolen
from the public square in Alliance Sun

THE WAR NOT ENDED.

What has been accomplished by the
relief Of Mafeking by the British army?
Will the fighting strength Of the Brit
ish be increased or the prowess of the
Boer farmers be diminished? The
siege of Mafeking has been conducted
for many weeks and the troops that
were in the place have been reduced to
such stress that they have no fighting
strength. Before the town was relieved
Boer command had to be constantly
employed doing nothing but undertake
ing to see that the British didn't get
out. The force in the city grew weaker
but was so intrenched that the town
could not be captured. Nothing, there
fore, was being accomplished by the
Beers during the latter part of the siege
as they were simply employing fresh
and active troops to guard sick and
debilitated prisoners, for prisoners they
were before the British arrived. Now
large British force must stop and
care for the emaciated defenders Of
Mafeking and must furnish them food
and supplies. They are, instead of an
aid to the British cause, burden on
the advancing British column. Boer
fighters are relieved from an arduous
duty that they may join their brethren
in an attempt to stop the march Of
Lord Roberts, on Pretoria, while the
force that relieved Mafeking must tarry
there to care for their comrades and
recuperate their own strength. Ameri-
cans will not fail to recognize the valor
with which Mafeking and other be-
sieged cities in South Africa have been
defended by the British but 1t will now
be conceded that IL garrisons had not
been maintained in either Of the three
towns, Ladysmith. Kimberly or Mafe-
king, the British columns would not
have had such hard tasks and could
have chosen their own battle ground
Instead the exigencies Of the situation
made it necessary to fight where the
Beers had concentrated, without re-
gard to the great advantage the
Burghers had In location. Thousands Of
British have been lost In the efforts to
relieve comrades. Wisdom would not
have placed these comrades in posi-
ton that they would need relief. So
the raising OF q Siege has been simply
the correction Of q condition that was
in error and no advantage has
bssn secured. The relief Of Nassking
was . foregons concluaton. but ths

J While Admiral Dewey was in the
south the chancellor of the Vanderbilt
university told him, in introducing him
TO an audience, that he had done more
than any other man to unite the north
and the south. Now Mr.. Mckinley has
laid claim to that distinction ever since
that delegation of veterans of the Con-
federate army marched up North Mar
ket street in this city in 1896 and heard
him make a speech from that historic
front porch. The administration has
not been any too well pleased with
Dewey, but this probably queers him
entirely. But Dewey ought not to be-

About every mill that goes into a
trust has to shut down ''for invoice"
Then a great many or them fail to
open again and their men seek en-
ployment elsewhere, thus coming into
competition with labor already employ
ed and forcing wages to low scale.
Some Of the mills open very gently, just
TO take off the sting, but only few
hands are put back to work. 1t has been
observed in some other cities that those
factories that the trust that gets them
intends to run in the future does not
close for invoice" But, as stated, that
Is in other cities.

FREE kINDERtaARTENs.

1t is understood that the board of
education is contemplating the aban-
donment of free kindergartens, connect
ed with the Canton schools. Perhaps
no feature Of the schools Is appreciat-
ed to greater degree by householders
than the free kindergarten. Children
are prepared for entry to the primary
grades, and in manner that does not
injure them physically. Their interest
in education is enhanced and great
benefit accrues. To abandon this
feature Of the school looks very much
like a serious mistake. 1t was difficult
20 get the free kindergartens well un-
der way, but that was accomplished
after much effort and great sacrifice
on the part of the Free kindergarten
association and the Canton mothers

CONTRACT LABOR.

At the annual convention Of the
Western Federation of Miners and the
Western Labor union that was held at
Denver, Colorado, the subject of
imported Japanese labor was one that
President Edward d. Mcdonald, of the
union, among other things discussed:
II have recently been over the whole
Pacific coast country, where learned
that more than 10000 Japanese entered
the. United States in the past year.
They are practically replacing white
labor on all railroads in the northwest
and are gradually working their way
eastward. The Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern employ them al
most exclusively in sections, each gang
having a white man as the boss.
made a trip over the Northern Pacific a
few days ago and everywhere the sec
ton men were japanese, and we met
trainloads of them being sent on to diff
ferent points on the road"
The theory of those who have given
some investigation to this influx of
Japanese-which DIR. Mcdonald places
at 10000 within the year, but which
government figures place at 50,000-is
that these orientals are being impor-
ted by one or more of the gigantic
trusts. Ugly stories are floating about
with reference to the failure to enforce
the emigration laws Of the Pacific coast
ports. Mr.. Mcdonald. in his speech at
the Denver convention, referred to
above, declares that unless something is
done to restrict the immigration of the
japanese, it will become a great menace
to white labor and before long will re-
suit in serious trouble.

In order to cover up the trust ques-
tIon it has been decided by the bunco
gentlemen in congress that an amend
ment to the constitution shall be
reported before congress adjourns, for
political effect. OF course, setting forth
chat congress shall have the power to
define and regulate trusts. Now what
good will that do, provided the people
are foolish enough to put the same
kind of a congress back into office that
is there now? What good does it do
10 give power to fellows who have no
intention of exercising it? There are
already some statutes in which trusts
are mentioned, but no attempt has
been made to enforce them. The cure
is to put in new set Of congressman,
who have the good of the people at
heart. The trust question will come
10 head very soon then.
