there is not something rotten In Den
mark" then the odor is very deceptive.

Maybe they got lot of technique in
that plumbing bill.
It will not be necessary TO swear off
for a whole century, boys. Half a CEN
tury win do.
At the pace some of the fellows have
been going, they are a long way into the
new century already.
Mr. Cleveland declares that a pres
ident should have but one term. He
probably means one at a time.
OF course IL is all right to swear
off, but it is best TO preHerve the par
aphernalia for a time. You may need
it.
Come, Mr. Yohe, we know you think
1t commenced year or so ago, but be
q good fellow and celebrate with us
tonight anyhow.
People seem to be kind of saving up
for the new century. At any rate 1t is
aid that there was an uncommon tight
ness in Canton Sunday.
1t would be good plan for some
'ounty officials to swear off this tech
nical violation" business. 1t is very
iard on other peoples purtes.
A great many young men who stay
up to see it in, will be sadly in need of
the swearing off process by the time
the new century arrives.
Now don't try to make II easy by
swearing off a trivial fault. Pick out
hard one and then stick to it. Show
that you have a mind of your own.
General Coxey threatens to break into
reform work again. He says what
ever he does he will do different. This
is the best reform he has yet started.
President Mckinley has offered that
Federal judgeship to Youngstown and
then to Cleveland, but in both instances
has it been refused. Try Canton, Mr..
President, try Canton!
The unfortunate situation concerning
that Canal Fulton bridge is that the
who did more work than the
law allowed, is the one who would have
to suffer, if the bills were not paid.
Several county papers that printed
Prosecutor Days report had to go into
ancient history to tell their readers an
had been in progress.
They have found that it always pays to
print the news while it is yet news.
A great many citizens would like to
read report concerning why the audi
tor stopped the payment on the Canal
Fulton bridge, even before the contract
price was reached, and failed utterly
to stop payment on an unauthorized
broom factory till the fund was en-
tirely exhausted.
After all, it doesn't interfere with the
fact that the bridge was built feet and
G inches too high on one side and feet
and 6 inches too high on the other side,
and that the contractor got bonus of
81, 500 for tearing the surplus down.
The Massiilon Independent, discussing
the report Of Prosecutor Day. says,
among other things: This finding,
while it in no way excuses the palpably
poor management of the commissioners,
viii have the effect of mitigating the
seriousness of the charges which the
public hold against them. There can be
no question regarding the boards in
discretion in having a $4,000 bridge
built when one costing less would have
answered every purpose.
If you've got two grievous errors and
you want to swear one off,
And you drink good rye and smoke
vile cigarettes,
Drop the coffin nails on New Years and
hang on to the booze
OF two evils quit the worst without
regrets.
There Is still a hope eternal for the man
who drinks go)d rye.
But eternity holds neither joy nor
laughter
For the yellow-fingered fellow with the
pimpled progeny
He Is sure to get blistering hereafter
