HARRISON ON
CURRENT TOPICS
The Ex.President Makes a Char.
acteristic Address at
indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan 1.-Ex-Pres-
ident Harrison, speaking to the toast
Hail, Columbia at the banquet on the
dedication of the New Columbian club,
said:
IT estimate the gift of the governing
faculty to be Gods great gift to the An
glo-Saxon, and in the constitution of the
United States, with its division of pow
ers, limitations upon the governing de-
partments, and its sublime reservations
in the interests of individual liberty /
see the highest achievement OF that most
rare faculty.
'I have no argument to make here or
anywhere against territorial expansion;
but I do not, as some do, look to ex-
pansion as the safest or most attracti e
avenue Of national development. By the
advantages of abundant and cheap coal
and iron, of an enoromus surplus of food
products and of invention and economy in
production, we are now leading by the
nose the original and greatest coloniz-
ing nations. Australia and New Zealand
send their contingents to South. Africa,
but Great Britain cannot hold the trade
of her colonies against American offer
iEgs of a better or cheaper product. The
Central and South American states, as
sured of our purpose not only to respect
but to defend their autonomy, and find-
ing the peace and social order which a
closer and larger commercial intercourse
with the world will bring, offer to our
commerce a field the full development OF
which will realize the Ell Dorado.

MILES SAYS
ALGER IS A -.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles says that for
mer Secretary of War Russell A. Alger
made false assertions in the article
written by him and recently published.
The commander of the army today re-
turned from South Carolina, where he
has been on hunting trip. He said
he had not read the Alger article, but
he talked like man VINO was quite
familiar with all 1t contained.
General Alger says" he was told,
"that you knew two or three months
in advance that bad corned beef was
being sent to our soldiers; that while
you were at Tampa you were perfectly
familiar with such facts as you later
made public, but gave the Secretary of
War at the time no hint as to scan
dal."
There are many false statements In
that article" answered General Miles.
II do not care to reply now in detail
to what General Alger has accused me
of. He took two years to think up his
attack on me. and it Is reasonable to
suppose 1 would take a little time to
frame proper reply to him. AS to his
article in general, i think the people of
the country are pretty well acquainted
with the facts as to army beef.
There are many things not yet
known which Will be made public when
l make a reply. if I decide to do so.
But, as 1 say, the people of the Nation
know a good deal about the kind Of
beef our men had to eat during the
war. There has been much published,
and there have been witnesses and a
thorough investigation, and the coun-
try formed an opinion long ago. But I
say that 100000 soldiers who have re-
turned to their homes since the war

ity of the canned beef. They have told
their story in every corner of the Ma
ton, and it need not be told again by
me. Therefore, / cannot say what
steps I viii take in the matter.
LAS I understand it. the article which
has just appeared is a chapter of a
book to be published soon and written
by General Alger. I may wait until
that book comes out, SO that I can OBJ
tain complete information as to what
has been said against me. But may
determine not to reply at ALL

LOOKING
BACKWARD
Old Public Square of
Canton
SIXTY YEARS AGO
Landmark No. 80" Desc rIbed
BY John Danner For
News-Democrat
Readers.

The following cut illustrates the north
public square in Canton, as 1t appeared
in 1S4O. That wss notable year; it
was the year that General William
Henry Harrison was elected president
by the Whig party. The campaign
was known above all that ever preceded
1t; "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was
the watch word, coon skins and hard
cider the emblems, and log cabins the
place of meeting. That same year
General Harrison spoke in Massillon,
and on his way eastward in a stage
coach, he stopped for one meal In the
Eagle hotel, and well do l remember
the greetings he received in the short
time he was in our midst. Gen. Har-
rison was inaugurated March 4, 1S41
and died April 4, the same year, being
president but one month; yet it took us
three or four days to hear the news
OF his death. There were no tele-
graphs or telephones then; the post
man on horse back or the stage coach
were our most rapid means of commu-
nication at that time.
The old court house in the front of
our picture on the left hand side was a

Massillon, March 22.-At the joint
meeting Of the miners and operators
of the fifth sub district of Ohio, Thurs
day afternoon, no concessions were
made on either side and the dispute
is at a standstill.
The bone of contention seems to be
the eight hour day demanded by the
hoisting engineers. The operators re-
fuse to recognize the engineers as be-
longing to the union and the miners
insist that the engineers are duly quail
ified to have voice in the conference.
The operators have fatty refused to
yield to the demands of the union and
strike is now feared.
An adjourned meeting of the scale
committee Of the fifth sub-district Of
Ohio will meet in Canton on next
Thursday to fix the rate for machine
mining.

new ROAD "
OPPOSED
Fighting Richmond &
Mahoning at Akron.
AN IMPORTANT Line
II Will Connect Akron and
Youngstown by an Air Line
Through Manufaetur-
ing Districts.

The Richland & Mahoning railway
company filed a petition in the pro-
bate court at Akron Friday to appro-
pirate land for right of way, and
condemnation proceedings have been
instituted to compel property owners
to cede the right of way desired. 1t
will be costly proceeding, as such liti-
cation invariably entails great expense.
The company will be compelled to
condemn right of way over a number
of other lines and 1t is understood that
these roads will fight the right of the
new line to cross their tracks. The new
road is to cross the Pennsylvania COM
pany's tracks, that of the Erie, the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Cleveland, Ter
minal & Valley, the Akron & New Cas-
tie, and these companies, together with
a number of property owners in the
city, are made parties defendant in the
condemnation proceedings. With this
array against 1t, the r. & M. will haze
no little trouble in getting into the city
on the route proposed, but 1t is deter
mined to force its way in and pay the
cost.
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
company, acting through the Valley di-
vision of the b. & o.. is taking active
measures to obstruct the new line. 1t
has begun the erection of a lot of spur
tracks in Akron across the proposed
line of the new road, simply with a view
of obstruction, 1t is said. AZ Fast as the
spurs are built, loaded cars are run
over them so as to secure the estab
lishment of the new tracks.
1t is said, however, that the new road
did not want to build its line along the
route thus obstructed, but had run lot
OF blind surveys simply to deceive its
opponents.
The new road is very important one
and will connect the cities of Akron
and Youngstown with an air line
through the rich manufacturing dis
tricts of the Mahoning valley.
There is some speculation as to what
company is back of the project. The
statement is not credited that it is an
Independent company that is building
the line. The opposition of the Penn
sylvania company proves conclusively
that it is not interested save as an OBJ
structionist, yet it is apparent that
some rich and powerful company is
pushing the matter.

after MANY
LONG YEARS
Mr.. n. Cohen Succeeds
In His Efforts
TO give CANTON
A Modern, First Class Clothing
Store--Openins Of the Globe
Next Thursday Eve-
ning.

On Thursday evening of next week
at p. m, the Globe Clothing Store,
corner Walnut and Tuscarawas streets
will have it's grand opening, which will
mark new epoch in the clothing trade
history of Canton.
For years Canton has been regarded
with longing eyes by the clothing
trade. The local dealers have been
accused of having by one method or an
ether of almost monopolizing the trade.
Mr.. Cohen, who will open the Globe
on Thursday, has been for ten years
trying to secure an opening in this city.
Experienced man that he was, he knew
that he had to put in the best store of
the city and be second to none. Until
this year he was not certain of success
on this line, but the opportunity came
and he grasped 1t.
Mr.. Cohen is one of the most pushing
active, up-to-date merchants of Ohio
He has had 35 years of experience and
has conducted clothing store in Salem
for 81 years. He is regarded highly
by customers and even by competitors.
He has a reputation of running his own
business in his own way and has never
joined in deals to control trade. He
will open the finest clothing store in
Canton or Stark county and will be one
of the fixtures of the city. A News
Democrat reporter saw Mr.. Cohen at
the new store on Saturday and in reply
to the question as to whether he had
to say to the public, Mr.. Cohen
said
Yes, it is true that we have been
trying to get into Canton for ten years.
| knew that we would have to come
right or not at all in order to succeed.
We intend to give Canton a first class,
upto-date clothing house, run on mod
ern principles and will make our sue
cess upon merit" at
I'VE want the people of Canton and
Stark county to come to our grand
opening on Thursday evening next at
7 o'clock and inspect our store. After
that we want them to give us their
patronage for trial. If they deal
with us, once. they will continue, If fair
dealing, low prices and good service
will do It,"
Canton business circles have obtain.
ed live member in having Mr.. Cohen
and people who know him have no
doubt of the success of his under
taking.

After John Laird quit the mercantile

After John Laird quit the mercantile
business, the store room was enlarged
and occupied for a number of years
as a hardware store by Reynolds &
Saxton, in the beginning of which 1t
was the late James A. Saxton, but in
the last few years of said firm 1t was
Joseph s. Saxton, who is yet with us.
Conrad Sweitzer. ST., also kept hard.
ware store after that in the same
building.
The two story brick building that
stood on the northwest corner of the
public square, where the Folwell block
now stands, was built by William Fogle,
grandfather of Henry G. Fogle, and
afterwards occupied as hardware
store by Lewis Fogle, the father of H.
c. Fogle, and after him the same bus
mess was carried on there by Jonathan
G. Lester, and after him by Patton and
Pepple. After the property was
bought by Martin Wikidal he occupied
all but the store room as his residence
until his death few years ago. The
store room was used for a number of
years by the Dueble Bros. in the Jew
elry business, and also by the late
Joseph A. Meyer for the same kind of
puoihOoos AltCi thCy ICtL IL, tuc
changes we're SO many that will not
stop to enumerate them.
The market house which stood in
the center of the square was built in
1886. The late Henry Kintz was the
contractor and builder; it was frame
building and is we'll represented by our
cut, about 40 by 60 feet in size. The
two rooms on the south end up stairs,
were mostly occupied, but the two
rooms were seldom in use
The hall at the north was known as the
town hall; it was only about 40 feet
square. low ceilings, and yet in those
times 1t served the purpose of lyce-
ums, conventions, churches and Sun
day schools; both the Trinity Lutheran
and the First Baptist held their first
church services and Sabbath schools
in this little upstairs room.
The lower story was all open for
market purposes. as indicated by the
picture, and even at that time a very
good market was kept up three morn
ings in a week, viz: Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday. This was continued
until quite recently and 1t Is a ques-
tion among many whether 1t was the
best to make the change in the time of
