the latter are just as well pleased that
they should think so. The popular idea
is that "A corporation. even though it is
confident that a claim is just. will
fight n claim from court to court until
the patience and resources of the claim
ant are exhausted. Even though they
have to eventually pay the judgment, 1t
Is thought. the roads take this acticu

further nope that one Of the higher
courts may reduce the amount OF the
award.
AS a matter of fact, the attorneys
for the roads claim. when they are sat

are always more than anxious to effect
a settlement out Of court, as the chances
of a corporation before the average jury
are but slight"

TURNING
The Agricultural Society into a
Political Machine.

FROM the Arcanum Enterprise
For the first time In the history Of
the DArke County Agricultural society
the people were compelled last week to
arise in their might and throttle an ef-
fort of the Garberites TO elect members
of the board to aid their rotten political
machine. BY neat piece Of detective
work the plans OF the Garberites were
gotten onto Wednesday night, as they
always scheme in the dark. and Thurs
day the word was passed, TO watch pro-
ceedings at the election on Friday.
Most people would not believe IL, but
by IL o'clock, Friday, everybody inter
ested was on and knew 1t to be o fact
There was the whole gang, working
like beavers for the new ticket, and .,
usual with the Garberites, they had u
commit frauds or they would not con
slider themselves ''smooth." This tim,
they secured lot of family tickets
erased the names Of the persons u
whom they were issued and substitutes
the names of those whom they coul,
vote. The plan worked nicely, bu
there were not enough of them. No
all OF the names on the new ticket be
: longed to the gang; they don't do bus
; ness that way, they fool the people b
putting few good men on TO pull thei
henchmen through. But they vent u
against the real thing this time and th
way they got turned up was q caution
Stocker and Medford were spotted Z
the men the gang were most anxious
elect and the result was they ran ava
. behind the rest Of the ticket and wei
, beaten over three to one.

The Democrats Doomed.

Tom johnson, who Is running the
Democratic campaign in Ohio this year,
Is an svowed advocate Of the Henry
George single sAx theory. The Demo
cratic candidate for Secretary of State,
who heads the ticket IL also an advo-
cate of this single tax theory, and is the
agent Of a society 70 promote this the
ory, ut fixed salary. The one essen
sial plank OF this Henry. George plat
form is the following:
1--WE are In favor Of raising all public
revenues for national, state, county
and municipal purposes by single tax
upon land values, irrespective Of inn
provements"
There you have IL in plain terms,
without any eQuivocation. Read II,
and you know what the Democratic
leader and the head of the Democratic
ticket favors-
Read It, and you viii see that the
Democratic party has placed st the
head of its ticket 9 man who wants to
take the tax OF saloons, and banks and
factories and capital, and put it or
landl The farmers own the land of the
country, except the town lots, and these
Henry George men want to put all the
taxes on the land Of the country.
We imagine we see the farmers OF the
country rushing up to the polls to vote
for ticket headed by such q man. Thi:
fellow Was not on the ticket by sur
prise, but because he was known to ad
vocate Tom Johnson's views
Deeper and deeper the Democratic
party sinks into the slough of despond

HAYr1 is having a hot old time.

HAYTI is having q hot old time. In
surrectiens are so frequent there that
it is hard to tell which is the govern
ment and which Is the insurrection.
There is little protection for property
or life, and every junta thinks it is THE
government. A few days ago q gun
boat of the Insurrectionists riaed q
German schooner of its cargo, aod q
German warship sank the gunboat,
after giving its crew chance TO escape.
The United States is considering the
propriety of taking the island under it:
wing, in order to prevent complica
tions with European powers. 1t would
be better for Hayti.

because they are not making anything
on the coal. II would occur TO the or

TO sell the mines and get out of their

can't understand why the mines don't
pay, with improved methods for mining,
at prices that are one and twp dollars q

to gobble up all the hard coal fields.
