Now that President Shaffer has U.s.
sued his strike order, which will result
in swelling his army Of the unemployed
to 100000, 1t is time for sober thought
and deliberate judgment. Each of the
contending parties claims to be fight
ing for principle--the trust insisting
that it is maintaining its position be-
cause Of its desire to run its own bus.
iness without dictation of any char.
acter, from any source, and the Anal
gamated association striving for the
very life of its organization, without
which, it claims, 1t cannot hope to keep
wages to living basis. There is yet
no outbreak of serious nature, and
the only really om,nous sign of i'm
pending conflict at arms is the action
of Wheeling members of the associa.
ton organizing military companies,
fully armed and equipped. The News
Democrat pointed out this situation and
what it might portend, and there ought
to be no Misunderstanding concerning
its position in this regard. This pa
per has no sympathy with an armed
movement of that sort, to meet, pos.
sibly, an armed force of the state or
nation.
There is restless, hot-headed ele-
ment that is ready, at the slightest op-
portunity, to advise force, when feel
ings are disturbed, but they are vastly
in the minority, and their advice is
taken as idle vaporings. While the
ballot box controls the government
there is no excuse for people to oppose
the government. All cannot be of the
same mind but majority rules and any
attempt to trample under foot the law
and dignity of the land would meet
with ignominious defeat.
While the government is ruled by the
people themselves, the doctrine Of
force will find few followers.
The merits of the contentious of the
Amalgamated association and the steel
trust, are for discussion. The public
may lend its influence to the one or the
other, and that is as far as 1t can, with
safety, proceed. Public sentiment will
do much to settle the strike, in favor
Of one or the other. Force will only
result in the ultimate and overwhelm-
ing confusion of the party employing
1t.
As has been heretofore suggested, it
Is good time to keep cool.

ASKS DAMAGES.
Puritan Land Company, Of East
Liverpool, Sues the Penn.
sylvania.

East Liverpool, Aug. S.-The Puritan
Land company of this city has sued the
Pennsylvania company for damages in
the sum of $3.100, which 1t claims to
have sustained on account of the rail-
road company not erecting station
in the east end Of this city, which had
been agreed upon. The land company
owned plot of land along the rail-
road track in the east end of this city
and the railroad company purchased
IL lots from them on which to erect a
station. The actual value of the land
was $500, but the land company
agreed to sell 1t to the railroad COM
pany for 81 400, provided the latter COM
pany would erect a station on the site
before July, 1900. The sale of the land
was made In 1898, and the railroad COM
pany Immediately began the erection
of the station. They were building 1t.
however, on an alley owned by the city
which ran between the railroad track
and the lots purchased by the company
and the erection of the building was
stopped by the city officials. Since that
time the railroad company has made no
effort to complete the building and the
land company ask for damages in the
amount stated.

Columbus, Aug. 7.-Dr. Samor, for
merly of Columbiana county, now ofthis
city, failed to secure the appointment
of superintendent Of the hospital for
epileptics at Gallipolis. DR.. w. X.
Coleman, of West Union, Adams coun-
ty, was chosen for the place. The Sc
lection was made at a meeting of the
board of trustees of the institution in
this city. There were IL applicants,
and the feeling was that DR.. Sanor
stood good chance for the appoint
ment. DR.. Rutter, the retiring super
intendent, has been in charge Of the
hospital for ten years, and repeated eff
forts have been made to secure his re-
moval. Governor Nash requested his
resignation and it was given, but the
old board refused to accept it. The
board was reorganized and the resigna-
ton accepted. Rutter will vacate Sep
tember /.
Governor Nash issued his Labor day
proclamation yesterday, and after des-
ignating Monday, September 2, to be OBJ
served as Labor day, declares, 1T being

stone upon which rests the happiness
of us all, and 1t is proper that this day
should be devoted to the advancement

Too much significance cannot be plac-
ed in the action of the Wheeling mem
bers of the Amalgamated association
in forming two military companies,
thoroughly equipped with the muni-
tions Of war, as stated in dispatches in
the News-Democrat, Monday. 1t is
stated that it is for the purpose of pro-
tecting employer and employed. So is
union, but 1t doesn't always work
that way, and sometimes the fact that
there is union at all is made to oper-
ate against the very thing the union
seeks to correct. Fon instance, is 1t to
be supposed that, when a trust locks
union men out of a shop simply because
they insist upon belonging to a union,
when the shop is attempted to be
run by the importation of non-union
men, and a riot occurs, the militia
company, composed of members of the
locked-out union will drive their broth
ers away from the shop at the point of
the bayonet, that the non-union men
may take their places unmolested? :?
Whatever the merits of the controversy,
no student of human nature will enter
tain for moment the supposition that
the bayonets, with their shot and shell
behind them, will be turned on the lock-
ed out men. So would it be il a company
were formed among the men who are
opposed to labor unions, for one reason
or another.
Wheeling has thus set fast pace
There is a colossal controversy on be-
tween capital and labor-the struggle
that has never had an equal in the his
tory of this country. Suppose, from
the membership of the unions in every
shop in the land, there should be militia
companies formed, "for social advance
ment," or any other specious plea that
the constitution and bylaws of the
organization might set up. In the face
of a trouble like the one now at hand
would not the signs of the times be of
more ominous character than they are
now?
1t has been the history of strikes that
the shop owners can always rely on
government aid, with guns and bayo-
nets when the time is ripe. Whether
such aid has been rendered properly, is
another matter. The fact remains.
Have tho Wheeling men acted under
advice, and is the movement to spread I?
1t is a question that will have an
early answer.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-08-09

the state is taxed too high, considering
the valuable holdings of personal prop.
erty that either pay small percentage
OF what they ought to pay, or escape
taxation altogether. It is urged that
the method of valuation of personal
property ought to approximate, as
nearly as possible, the method for the
valuation Of real estate, and that the
practice Of personal return by the in.
dividual should be abandoned, and q
competent board should fix the value,
such assessing board not being bound
by the return of the property owner,
as is the assessor under the present
system. Along the line of the many
abuses growing out of the present sys-
tenn Mr.. Garfield, having taken occa.
sion to refer to two methods ot taxa.
tion, with particular reference to state
tax, says:
None of these methods, however,
applies to Industrial corporations Such
corporations make returns through
their officers as individuals; and, as a
result, there is gross evasion of the
law and the most inadequate returns
of corporate property. Much Of the
street railroal property in Ohio, al
though paying its small gross earnings
tax to the state, pays local taxes upon
valuation of but three per cent to
fifteen per cent Of the actual earning
and selling value of its property. In
dustrial corporations are often valued
at but from ten per cent to twenty
FIVE per cent of their true value.
This is what the News-Democrat has
been contending on the subject Of tax
alton, and it has taken occasion to cite
instances in Canton and Stark county.
where the real estate owner pays as
high as 100 per cent valuation en- his
land, while the industrial and street
railway corporation pays less than six
per cent. 1t did not require such high
authority as Mr.. Garfield, the Republi
can son of the late lamented martyr
president, to add to the weight of the
News-Democrats contentious, but re-
cruits to the ranks of those contending
for equitable and just taxation are al
ways welcome.

lts home . wren. The hawk threw out
the wren's nest and soon completed
one Of its own, and there reared It's
young. Upon level tops OF city houses
bullbats or nighthawks frequently lay
their eggs. The cowbird deposits It's
eggs In the nests Of other and weaker
birds for them to ~inoubate. Only one
egg Is usually deposited in the nest.
The discovery Of a summer tanager's
nest a short time ago. in which four
cowbsrd eggs reposed, besides one of
the proprietor's was considered a most
unusual case by ornithologists. In the
telegraph poles about the suburbs of
the city two members OF the w~oodpeck-
er family, the flicker and the redhead,
frequently make their homes, burrow-
ing in the wood. In the masts Of aban-
doned vessels they also rear their
young. English sparrows frequently
build in freight trains and their nests
and inhabitants are sometimes taken
across the continent. Frank c. Kirk
wood, secretary of the Game and Fish
association, tells OF a find he made in
a large tree on Kent island. In the
top was the nest of a ashcrow; further
down was a ishhawk's, in the sticks Of
which were five purple grackles, with
young ones, and four English spar
rows nests. Further down a ficker's
nest and three more grackles, and the
nest of one wren. William H. Fisher,
a well known ornithologist Of this city,
has in his collection a double nest OF
a chipping sparrow. 1t was found
near Baltimore, and contained one egg
in one apartment and three in the
other. In the glass globes of the arc
electric lights Of the city English spar
rows and purple grackles sometimes
build. Barn owls, despite the noise
around the grain elevators, have been
known to rear their young in the build
ings. Mr.. Kirkwood last year found
very intimate relations existing be-
tween the families of a red-tail hawk
and a gray squirrel. The hawks nest
was built uIon the squirrels, and both
of them were inhabited. In the sails
Of boats which have been laid by for
