Discusses the Measure
at Convention.
POMERENE'S SPEECH
Differed From Some Other
Speakers--He Favored the
PennsyIva High
License Laws.

The Stark county local option con-
vention ended with the closing Of the
evening session at the First M. F..
church Tuesday evening. At the after
noon session Prosecuting Attorney r.
H. Day was not able to be present ow-
ing to illness in his family. Hon T. Fl
Clark, the author of the local option
bill that was defeated at the last iegis-
lature, spoke a. some length on the poi
icy of referring the matter of local op.
tion to vote Of thepeople.
Ex-Prosecuting Attorney Alice
Pomerene gave talk on the difficulties
that a prosecuting attorney meets In
his Office to enforce the laws already
on the statute books. Mr.. Pomerens
stated that the high license law Of
Pennsylvania was the best temperance
law that he knew of. This was o
rather radical statement viewed from
prohibition standpoint. In that state
the license is fixed at 81 900, and can be
revoked for cause.
| Mrs. Alice Danner Jones addressed
the convention ON the part that women
have taken in temperance reform She
mentioned number of women who
have become eminent in the work
among them Francis Willard and tic
wife of President Hayes. Her address
was listened to with great interest.
In the evening neither Ralph Mil.
Ter, of Alliance, nor Rev. G. b. Allen
responded when their names were
reached on the program. Charles 4
Oldroyd. of Canton, spoke of the rela-
ton of the Epworth league societies to
the temperance work, and Rev. M. M.
RAIDER spoke on behalf of the Christian
Endeavor societies. Both these aux
il;aries to the churches were reported
as in healthy accord with the work OF
temperance reform.

GEN. meyer
He Is rendered the Law
Portfolio
BY MAYOR JOHNSON
OF Cleveland Is Well
Conferred--Brief Sketch
OF Gen. Meyers
Career.

Gen. Edward S. Meyer, a former Can.
tonian, has been offered the law port.
folio of the city of Cleveland by Mayor
Johnson. He is considered an author
ity on municipal law and served as di-
rector of law under Mayor Rose.
Gen. Meyer was born in Canton
August 20, 1S43, received his education
at the Canton high school and after
wards graduated from st. Vincent's
college. He served in the civil war
enlisting as private on April 1S, 1861
He served in the field throughout tho
war and won distinction on several
battlefields He was promoted through
the various grades of the volunteer
service for meritorious service at
Shiloh and Charlottesville. Finally
he reached the rank of brigadier gen.
eral.
He read law under the instruction OF
his father. Judge S. Meyer, at his Office,
in this city. He received the appoint,
ment of assistant United States attor.
ney for the northern district of Ohio in
April, 1877, and served in that capacity
until April, 1881, when President Gar.

THECANTON
and AKRON
Electric Railway May Go
into the Latter City.
over n. 0. 7. line
Traffic Arrange ments Being
Negotiated--A Story
From the Akron
Democrat.

From statements published in the
Akron Democrat it appears the Canton
Akron Electric Railway WILL in all
probability, go into Akron over the
tracks of the Northern Ohio Traction
company. The article referred to is as
follows:
Captain Aaron Wagner. one of the
incorporators of the Canton-Akron
railway company, stated to a reporter
for the Democrat Monday evening that
he believed the line would be completed
by fall.
The full amount of required capital
has been subscribed. Work toward
building the line will begin at once.
If the company can develop successful
ly plans now contemplated, it will
make arrangements with the N. o. T.
company for entering this city. 1t Is
not yet known whether such arrange
ments can be made with the N. o. T..
company. Granting they may, the
Canton.Akron line will begin at the
terminus of the N. o. T. line on East
Market street and continue eastward
past the White grocery. then to Spring
field lake and continuing on the high
way to Canton, running through Union
town, Greentown and New Berlin. In
case these plans succeed the cars Of
the new company would start from the
N o. T. waiting room.
The company has secured consents
for right of way to build a line in this
city, and if the first mentioned plan
fails, an application for franchise
will be made to the local council. This
line would start from near the post.
Office on South High street, and con-
tinue south on this street to the limits
of the city, and then connect with the
route indicated in the other plan.
Officials of the NJ 0. Il. refused to
discuss for publication the prospects
for the new company's succeeding in
making arrangements to connect with
the N. o. T. line in this city.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
new company will be held soon to elect
officers. 1t is expected that cars will
leave the two cities, at least once every
hour.
Charles A. Kolp. of Canton, was seen
by a News-Democrat reporter and
asked regarding the story that traffic
arrangements had been or would be
made with the Northern Ohio Traction
company. He did not care to discuss
the matter for publication until inform.
ed that the fact had been published in
an Akron paper. He then said:
I'VE are trying to make traffic ar.
rangements there. That line occupies
Akron very much as the local iine does
Canton. 1t has loop. We can get in.
to the city by other streets and get
good terminal facilities. This we shall
do unless satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the Northern people.
Under the state law we can go in over
their line whether they are willing or
not. If the two companies are not able
to come to terms. the matter can be
referred to the council for adjustment
The Akron end will give us little or no
trouble, and now that the Canton fran
chise is assured, the road will be push
ed to speedy completion"

Very Latest Thing In
Monopolies Sprung
BY Eminent Divine
Of Cincinnati--Says Prominent
EvangeIists Will Combine
to Control Revival
Work.

Cincinnati, April, 10.--'Nothing more
nor less than an evangelical trust-a
trust to control the services of evange-
lists-a trust with a capital of several
millions of dOllars-is the end now being
assiduously worked for in this country.
This is the deep down, bedrock truth Of
the matter, sensational, strange and un-
pleasant enough as the fact MAJ seem
to a great many very good people"
This statement was made Tuesday by
Rev. George W. L. Lasher, d. d., lead
ing Baptist in Cincinnati, and one Of the
editors and proprietors of the Journal
and Messenger, leading Baptist paper in
the middle west.
1.-THE purpose of this absolutely amaz-
ing trust will be to control the doing
of evangelistic work in America, ami
probably in England, with a possibility
of 1t embracing that of all Europe"
continued DR.. Lasher. "The coming
of Rev. f. b. Meyer, of London, Eng
land, TO this city, last week was, In
not at all distant way, one of the
pieces of wire-laying to the formation
of this strange trust.
REV. Mr.. Meyer, came here and held
the union meetings of last week at the
Ninth Street Baptist church as the re-
suit of notices or bids sent out by the
Northfield (Mass) Extension or Evan.
gelical Society. These notices an
nounced that Mr.. Meyer was coming t.
America and that he could be procured
for holding union meetings in limited
number of cities. or words to this effect
1t was all handled in lecture bureau
shape. In effect he was billed to the
churches as the great London evange-
listic successor to Spurgeon and war

"But the item of the sale of these

call on the churches for $4,000, 900 en-

FOOD AND LAND TENURE.

1t may be dogmatically stated that
both wheat and cotton are becoming
the excess, surplus or money crops of
farmers whose products otherwise suf-
flee to sustain the farm. 1t Is there
fore difficult to measure the exact cost
of raising wheat. It has been produced
at less than one shilling per bushel, in
Guiding use and repairs Of machinery
and interest thereon but not including
any charge for the rental of land,
which forms a part of the income or
profit of the farmer 1t may be dog
matically affirmed that SO long as the
farmer in the Mississippi grain growing
states can secure to his own use and
enjoyment one cent a pound, sixty
cents a bushel, $3.50 or twenty shillings
a quarter, the present average produce
ton of wheat will be maintained, sub
ject to variation in quantity according
to the season. At seventy cents a
bushel new land will be put under cul-
tiVation in wheat to any extent of the
demand and capital will be found. The
difficulty will be to procure even the
necessary labor still required, notwith-
standing the increasing use of ma
chinery and the common practice Of
small farmers in combining for the
ownership of mowers and reapers or in
contracting for the harvest.
