LITTLE OLD FIGHTING JOE"
What the G. A. R. Will Find When It
 Assemblies in Chicago in August.

When the members of the Grand Army gather in Chicago in August for their annual encampment they will find in command of the United States army for the District of the Lakes General Joseph Wheeler, who thirty-six years ago was a dashing leader in the con- federate service. The situation is all most uneXampled in history and is the last proof. if any were needed, of the fact that the period of bitterness which followed the civil war has vanished. In no more striking way could the final closing of the bloody chasm" have been signalized than by the appoint ment Of Little Old Fighting Joe'' to the position which he now occupies. During the war the confederates hated Chicago more than they did any other northern city. Chicago returned the compliment. Yet today the same Chi cago, looking the past squareIy in the face, extends the heartiest of welcomes to the gray corf5 dcrate general who takes supreme command of the military forces of the government within it's borders.
 The appointment Is, however, more than recognition of the fact that the dead past has buried its dead. It is as well a personal and a deserved com pliment to General Wheeler, whose ser vices in Cuba and in the Philippines have historic significance quite apart from their actual value to the armies in the field. When General Wheeler volunteered for the war against Spain ha emphasized more prominently than it was possible for any northern man to do the fact of a reunited country He and Fitzhugh Lee and a hundred more nearly as prominent spoke for the south in a way that no foreign nation could misunderstand. And General Wheeler's appointment : brigadier general commanding the department of the lakes is a graceful recognition on the part of the national government of the services so rendered, as well as one which on the ground of personal fitness merits general approbation.-- Chicago Tribune.

THEN THEY FELT SAD.

It was the Scottish express, and as it was not due to stop for another six hours the other nine occupants of the smoker began to get nervous. The tenth passenger, who was sitting in a window corner with cap pulled over the face, groaned again. The kind hearted old gentleman sroozing oppo- site unscrewed a flask of cold tea and passed it to his afflicted neighbor He drank long and eagerly.
 Do you feel better?" asked the givcr. 'I do," said he who had Eroaned. What ailed you, anyhow?' Allied ms?''
 Yes; what made you groan so?' "Groan! Great Scott, man, I was singing"

A writer for The Republican yester- day promised rain to the farmers of this valley. who are soreiy in need of it. His prognostication was based mainly
 upon the circumstance that we missed the winter or spring rains and in the name of right or justice we should not be deprived of our summer deluge. From moral point of view the argu- ment is unanswerable, but meteorology and morals do not always run together
 There are few regions in the world where there are fewer signs of rain than this one. What are regarded as infallible signs in countrys habit ually moist more often come to naught here. so that nothing can be said with safety about a rain in the Salt River valley until it has finished it's work and packed up it's tools. We are, how ever. now in the midst of an unusual rain sign, an excessive humidity al- most without record under the other wise prevailing conditions of tempera- ture and wind velocity. Though the temperature was not as high on Sun day. Monday and yesterday as it had been, it was much less bearable than at any other time this season. Though nights are generally pleasant in this locality, people were unable to sleep even outdoors on Sunday and Monday nights until long after midnight, the air was so muggy. This condition, un- less blown away by strong winds, is bound to result in precipitation.

INSURANCE FAD
Could Not Be Carried Out As
No Law Covered The
Question.

Columbus April 20.-A number of Co.
lumbus men appeared to the secretary
of state for leave to articles of in
corporation of an ors. lzation to be
known as the Mutual Benefit Society,
of Columbus. The papers were referred
yesterday afternoon to the attorney
general, and while no prediction as to
Judge Sheets action Is authorized it Is
safe to prophesy that it will not be ap-
proved. The plan of the promoters
seems to be to organize a novel in
surance company, the policy holders to
receive their money when they are mar
ried instead of when they die.
No authority for the transaction of
such business Is found in the insur-
ance laws Of the state. According to the
articles of incorporation the membership
of the society is to consist only Of un-
married people Of both sexes. Assess
ments are to be made upon the members
and stipulated sums are to paid to those
who take wife or husband, and un-
der no other circumstances. The So
| ciety will invest and appropriate the
funds in such manner as may seem
proper

FROST FOR GROSYENOR.
The VenOmOus Old Athenian
May Not Go to Philadelphia
As a Delegate.

Special to News Democrat.
Cincinnati, April 20.--A Columbus
special to the Enquirer says:
The best informed politicians In this
ci ASSET that the big four" from
Ohio - the r publican National con-
snti'n n viii be Senators Hanna and
Foraker, Governor Nash and Colonel
Dick. Grosvenor and Herrick are to
be left out in the cold. 1t Is asserted
that the delegates to the state conven-
ton will speak their minds in no uncer-
tain tones as to the desirability of
Hanna attending the national conven-
tion as a delegate at lar e. and that he
will defer to the popular demand.
Governor Nash said to the Enquirer
today that he fully expected to see Mr..
Hanna one Of the "big four" as he be-
lieved that to be the wish of the vast
majority of the delegates who will at
tend the convention. Others similarly
qualified to speak express the same
opinion, and there is little doubt that
after a decent reluctance has been ex-
hibited by the junior senator he will
accept the honor. 1t may be noted in
passing that the Federal office holders
who have been working the state po-
litically have very decided views as to
the advisability Of his becoming one OF
the four delegates at large.

LOCALIZED EVIL NO 5.

From the fact that the legalized IL
quor traffic produces more ruin and
death to the human family, than pesti-
lence, famine and war combined" ac-
cording to Hon. William e. Gladst one,
the great wonder is, that two great
Christian nations like England and the
United States, should give legal per-
NIT and protection, to so ruinous busi-
ness
Such permit, from Christian nations,
to this great evil, is. the greatest OBJ
stacle in the way of Christian mission
aries among the heather. Mohamme-
dan and heather nations are opposed to
it, and very often when some of their
subjects have been tempted to take the
Intoxicating cup, offered them by SUBJ
jects from England and America, and
became drunk, their neighbors have
pointed to them by way Of derlsion,
and said, "see that fellow has become a
Christian, see him stagger." Such in
stances have often been quoted to us
by our toiling missionaries. o, what 9
reproach to Christian nations!
All well informed citizens know that
the saloon sits in the political saddle
today, not only to seek and obtain le-
gal protection, but to polute our whole
political system, by helping all forms OF
monopoly and vice. What do liquor
sellers care whether we have monopo.
lies or not, tariff or free trade. a gold
standard or silver standard. Sab.
bath or no Sabbath, only so they can be
assured that they will be continued
as partners of the government, by pay
ing stipulated sum in the way Of tas
or license.
Stop all forms of tax or licens. fol
the traffic and 1t at once stands con
demened as an outlaw, as no man ha:
an inherent right to sell intoxicating
liquors at retail: our supreme court!
have long since decided this point.
The question Is often asked, "why II
1t that the liquor power rule our poll
tics" while the moral forces are no
feared or needed. 1t Is simply and onl.
because when liquor men make |
threat they carry it to full execution a
the ballot box; while the Chris ian an,
moral element make a great fuss an,
buster against legalizing this grea
evil, but on election day step up to tn
ballot box and vote their old party tick
ct, saloon or no saloon.

STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY, APRIL "a, 1900.
FIGHTING BONEBRAKE,
Some Educators and Wire Pull
lers Are After the School
Commissioner.

Columbus, o., April 20.-The educa-
tors of the state arg making a fight
against the denomination of State
School Commissioner Bonebrake, which
is none the less vigorous because 1t is
quiet. They have secured an organiza-
ton in practically every large county
of the state. The task Of defeating him
is made easier for them because he has
depended upon precedent to secure his
a denomination, and has not provided
against possible opposition.
Among the charges brought against
Bonebrake is that he has persistently
refused to pay to the campaign as
sessment due for his first campaign.
He is dubbed a political weakling, and
is being attacked on that score as we'll
as because of the complaints held
against him by a large section of the
states educators. Representations
have been made by General Dick which
have been listened to by that gentle
man. He has as yet given no pos
itive assurance of support to the anti
Bonebrake faction, but will decide the
matter when he comes to Columbus be-
fore the convention.
Unless Dick places Bonebrake on the
slate for denomination either Superin-
tendent j. p. Sharkey, of Van Vert, OIL
w w. Boyd, Of Painesville, will be
placed in nomination against him. The
matter will be so arranged so that
but one opponent will be presented. II
the fight will be made against him, but
unless the aid of the machine Is giver
him the opposition assert that he /:
beaten in advance.

The liquor power in Ohio demanded
tax law, in order to evade the constitu-
ton which forbids license ever being
given to the traffic. Politicians who
sought the saloon vote. and saw that
they could blind-fold the people by Of
fering them money" granted this un-
holy request and gave the Dow law.
1t is quite safe to say, that If either of
the great political parties of our state
would come out openly and demand
the repeal Of this ungodly law, there
would not be liquor seller in the state
found in such party in twenty-four
hours thereafter. On the other hand,
the good men, and Christian men who
might be in the other great political
party, that had not made such declara-
ton, would not forsake their old party,
to enlist with the party that had the
moral courage to come out against the
unholy partnership in our state. The
liquor men vote their principles, no
difference what the name of the party;
the Christian people vote for their par
ty, right or wrong.
Now If Christians and patriots, who
see this wrong, will be as consistent
as are the liquor sellers and say they
will not vote for any party, unless
pledged to repeal all revenue laws fol
the liquor traffic, this grand reform
would leap to the front.
Our wisest politicians have we'll said
tissues make political parties, politica
parties do not make issues" Now lei
| Christians and patriots take the posi-
ton that they will not vote for any
party, unless pledged against all form:
of legalization of the liquor traffic; /.
less than one year one of the oil parties
would be re-organized and take up thi'
great moral reform, or a new part,
would be organized by the best elemen
from both existing tax and license par
ties, and very soon sweep rhe nation
1t was as on the slavery question, lie
history be repeated.
All that is needful is to stand firm 70
what we want, the name of Il party /
nothing, it is the eternal principle q
right and justice and no longer vot
for parties that uphold such unchris
tian and immoral laws as the Doy
tax law in Ohio.
Ths liquor powers are deserving @
praise, in that you cannot by any mean
get them to vote for any party that wi
not give them legal protection for
business that our highest courts Pre-
nounce an Outlaw"

PRESSING THE
TRUST QUESTION.
Competitors Must Unite or Pro
duet be Controlled.
WHAT A TRUST REALLY Is,
The Late David A. Wells Anticipated just
a Condition as Now Confronts The
American People-Brief And
To the Point.

(By the late Hon. David A. Wells.)
(Mr. Wells wrote this vigorous article
on TRUSTS" in 1892. 1t has never been
published except in the New England
Almanac)
What is Trust? In the popular and
political sense 1t means a combination
of the domestic producers Of certain
commodities to control production and
advance prices. No trust of this kind,
operating on articles for which there Is
a possible competitive supply from
other countries, could be maintained
in the United States for single month
except under one Of two conditions
either all the competitive producers
throughout the world must be brought
into the trust" or, what is the same
thing, the product of the whole world
must be CONTROLLED or the product of all
foreign producers must be shut out
from the markets of this country. The
first result is not attainable. 1t would
be obviously impracticable to induce all
the manufacturers of starch, for exam
pie, in all the different countries of Eu-
their business in hands of trustees re-
siding in the United States. The sec
ond is made not only possible, but ef-
fective in the highest degree, by the
imposition Of tariffs, or duties, on the
importation of the articles in which
the trusts are especially interested, so
high as to completely bar them out of
the American market. These duties the
Mckinley tariff act provides. (The
Dingley tariff re-enacted or increased
them. Ed.) 1t thus becomes the Gre
ator and preserver Of trusts and monop-
olies, the like Of which cannot and do
not exist under the tariff system of
Great Britain, as the starch trust, plate
and window glass trust, nail trust, lin
seed oil trust, lead trust, cotton bag
ging trust, boraX trust, axe, saw, and
scythe trust, cracker, cake and bis
cult trust, rubber boot and shoe trust
and many others; all of which, freed
from foreign competition, and advanc-
ing prices to American consumers to
an extent that will afford them from sc
to 100 per cent. more profit than can be
fairly considered as legitimate, but in
which profits their employees do not par
ticipate. There are more than 100 trusts
in the United States that could have nc
existence except for the high duties thai
have been enacted or kept on, in order
to maintain and protect them. How
did your representatives in the las
congress vote?
Did he vote for the salt trust, pro
tected and alone made capable of ex'
istence by a duty Of from A to IS pei
cent?
Did he vote for the window glas:
trust, with protection of from 120 t.
1856 per cent?
Did he vote for the linseed oil trust
with protection Of over 80 per cent?
Did he vote for the white lead trust
with protection Of rs per cent?
Did he vote for the starch trust, will
a protection of over 80 per cent?
Did he vote for the steel trust, will
protection running from 40 to lis pc
cent?
And so Of all the other trusts protect
ed by the tariff and especially by tn
Mckinley bill. i4..
