-Four more years of perfect rule
(The King can do no wrong,)
-Four more years of Marcus A.,
And all his merry throng.
Four more years of platitudes
OF rulers sleek and fat,
Communities of interests"
And all the like Of that.
-Four more years for labor
To fight with tooth and nail
And scrape together 'nough to eat
And keep outside of Jail.
SO three times three strong cheers,
And a tiger Cfor our Teddy,
The man of teeth and valor
Who's always up and ready)
Three times three again
For this Inauguration,

And ought to cause elation.

After all didn't the local primaries
cause about as much excitement as
the inauguration?

Many people who are accustomed to
quench their thirst at the spring water
fountain in front of the Walsh block,
are asking if it is not time that it
resumed operation.

Have you noticed what style Chief

Where does all the dirt, that gathers
on the paved streets come from? Su-
perintendent Charles Button was ask
ed this question and he was unable
to answer it. Just before the last fan
of snow South Main ST., from Howard
to Market sts., was thoroughly clean
ed. Monday more than 100 loads of
dirt were again removed. Every load
carried away more than a ton of filth,
in the aggregate more than 100000
pounds of dirt. This is not all brought
in ON wagons. Much or is due to
smoke from the Akron factories. No
one knows where it all comes from,
but it is there whenever the streets
are cleaned.

turer for 20 years and has experienced
the working of all the combinations
and trusts in the metal trade. By
rigid economy and improved methods
and products he has managed to make
fair living only. Business was fairly
good from 1915 to 1890, but since then
it has been uphill work.
In the future the only salvation for
small manufacturers lies in the utter
destruction of all combinations and
trusts, the reduction of the tariff and
all business placed on the basis of
open competition. The same rules of
law that are applied to usury should
be applied to all dealings in articles
of necessity, and all extortioners
should be treated as enemies of So
ciety. Society has the inherent right
to protect itself against all enemies.

monies yesterday. 1t is announced that
in this delicate undertaking, Mark
didn't enthuse much" Not once did
he clap his hands during the inaugural
address, and he let the President do
all the bowling in the parade. Yet there
was II grim smile that betokened com
plete satisfaction on the Senator's face
and he watched the crowds and the
President, alternating his interest,
without relaxation. Undoubtedly he
felt rightfully that these things had
come through his handiwork." Who

TROUBLES OF OUR OWN. Wars, Rebellions, Insur-
 recutions, Riots, Strikes.
The Whiskex Rebellion.


 This began in Pennsylvania in 1I91 and became so formidable that 15,0oo troops were called out. being the first use of Federal troops in domestic troubles. President Washington ac- companied the troops part way, and Secretary Alexander Hamilton went to Western Pennsylvania, the chief scene of trouble. Many arrests were made, but there was no armed conflicts. The first Federal officers sent to collect the whiskey tax were tarred and feather ed. Albert Gallatin, afterwards sec- retary of the treasury. was secretary of the largest gathering of insurgents, some 1000 in number, at Braddock' s field, August 1, 1794.
 The exercise law which caused the whiskey rebellion was passed by Con- gress March B. 1791. It was the first law of the kind ever passed in this country, and is said to have been a scheme devised by Hamilton for the express purpose of testing the power of the new Federal Government. The measure was supported by the Federal ists and opposed by the anti-Federal- ists, and there is no doubt the rebellion against it was rather a political than a social outbreak. The tax was on the manufacture of the spirits, but as the excise paid by the manufactures of course raised the price of the article to all who used 1t, the tax may be said to have been laid on the article itself. The disaffection was greatest in West ern Pennsylvania, because the farm CTS there, being at a great distance from the important grain shipping and buying points, depended largely upon the distilleries for a market for their grain. They claimed that an article | produced in an isolated community and so largely the dependence of that community. could not be lawfully taxed | for the advantage of the Federal Gov | ernment. The very name of an excise law was odious to many at this time | from association with the detested law of Great Britain. It is asserted. also | that the rebellion was largely due tc the influence of Citizen Genet, the | French minister sent over in 1793. who wanted the United States to take sides with France in the war with Great | Britain.
 The whiskey tax law was repealed il | 1902, as socn as the i-Federalists came into power, for that party had never approved of it. There was nC still tax again levied until 1872. wher 1t was necessary to increase tho revenues to carry on the war witt Great Britain. That tax was repeated again in 1915. and was not again levied until July 1, 1862. Since the last men tioned date there has always been z whiskey tax in force. There have been many attempts on the part oi manufacturers to evade the law. n' doubt-especially from 1864 to 1868 when the tax ranged from $1.50 to g { gallon-by making false reports of the amount distilled, but about the onl! efforts made to resist the collection O the tax by force were those of thu "moonshiners' of the mountain dis tricts of the South in 1881 and later

Liverpool was down again today to the extent of 1-32d on spots and 2-6413-64d on deliveries. and ex- cept for a fair measurs of support fur nished by the New York bulls prices on this side would in all probability have gone tumbling.

Big Establishments in Arkansas
 Owned by Uncle Sam.
 Few persons know that the United States Government derives an income from some of the largest bathing es- tablishments in America, if not in the world. The hot springs of Arkansas which have been a resort for invalids for many years, are owned by Uncle Sam and he exacts a payment of $SO tub for the use of the medicated Wa ter. As there are 534 tubs, the springs brings him an income from that source of $16,020 year.
 According to tradition, the hol springs of Arkansas are the original fountain of youth of Ponce de Leon and De Soto. The Indians of Florida told them that it was toward the setting sun and they set out to find it.
 There is every evidence in history and tradition that De Soto was there The earliest Indian legends have asso- ciated with them the idea of the cura- tive virtues of these waters. They sur round every shadowed valley. noun tain, nook and rocky cavern With 8 halo of romance that makes the "Vale of Vapors" doubly interesting.
 The various hot springs which arc said to number seventy three, issuing
  Springs Mountain and which now art obscured from view, have been con- verged in many instances from several different issues into one outlet by de velopmenr work done on the reserva' tion under the supervision of the va rious superintendentS.
 These springs vary in temeprature the hottest being 151 degrees. The flow of practically all fthem is constant The basis of estimate of the maximum supply for each tub daily is 1000 gal Ions. which at present. if used to tht full capacity. would require 534,0OO gal Ions. A conservative estimate of tht supply at present under control is 750. 600 gallons daily. In addition to the selling of the water to hotels and sani tariums, the Government maintains { free bathhouse for the indigent. Ho Springs has done a rushing business in the year just ended. The number O visitors is estimated at 50,000, which i the greatest in its history.

London Financial Cablegram.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Commer- cial-Advertisers London financial cable gram says: The attendance at the Stock Exchange today was small and prices were inclined to droop owing more to neg lect than to any pressure to sell. AmeIi- cans were still d,strusted. pending an authoritative announcement concerning g the settlement of the Northern Pacific complication. The Exchange Committee has decided to postpone consideration of the resumption of buying in of that stock until the 10th of June. This announce ment served to increase confidence here and the New York demand for Fries caused a feeling of quiet cheerfulness. The strength of Erie issues brought out talk that the Pennsylvania coal pur- chase, the buying of the Leyland Steam ship line and the development of the Erie system are all parts of one trasac- tion connected with the great coal trust, which is said to have been formed for importing American coal to Europe. Money was easier today on the re,ea SC by. the India Council of e5O0Oo0 against today's arrival of e56.000 gold in bars at the bank. The bank returns show that the market has repaid to the bank.

Chicago Grain end Provision,

CHICAGO. May 23.-Weather and indif- ferent cables depressed the wheat market today, but export sales steadied prices and July closed only as lower July corn closed S and May A lower. Oats showed a closing decline of hQA, while provi- ''ions closed shade higher, to SC lower. The wheat market opened with a dis play of strength seemingly out of har- mony with the excellent wetting which the crop has received and the fact that cables were indifferent July opened un- 739s and then reacted to 73Ibq73A during first half hour of bear activity. Reports of fly damage in the North Central States and repetltions of German claims of deterioration of both rye and wheat combined with good demand for spot, caused covering of shorts under which July during the next half hour rallied to i3TsGH. Long wheat was for sale at this advance and as the market began to show an easier tone the bear party re- Sumed operations and forced July back to 72H. Here the market steadied on the export sales, reported at 66 loads. and the close was Sc lower at I3b. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 174.000 bushels, while primary receipts were 2sO.O00 bushels. compared with 4So.-- 900 bushels last year.

 The feature of operations in the corn pit was the liquidation by George Phil lips of 3,5O0.0O0 bushels May corn, be- lieved to be the last of the heavy line accumulated during his manipulation of the market.
