The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-01-03

~ HE HISTORY Of great reforms In
4 the past sixty years in the United
States is worth our candid considera-
tion. 1t gives us much valuable infor-
nation. In 1910 human slavery was
firmly established In nearly all the
southern states of this nation. 1t was
strongly protected by law and had the
approval of nearly all the southern
people, and likewise many of the
northern states. At that time the pros
pect of getting rid Of this evil ap-
peared gloomy.
While the law and nest of the law
makers were in favor of slavery, the
man who opposed the system was Of
ten called a "nigger worshiper'' or a
"wolly head and very often we heard
from the pulpit that Slavery was q
divine institution" And the cry was
sounded all along the line slavery
cannot he destroyed in the United
States" -
Amidst all disbursements a small
band Of ,anti-slavery people banded
together, and organized the Abolition
party, calling this party the Liberty
party. In the meantime the two great
political parties of the nation. the
Whig and Democratic, were controlled
by the slave power and very few of the
churches were favorable to abolition
but the hbolitionists persisted in say
ing slavery was wrong, and many
withdrew from the churches because
they would not take firm stand
against this legalized evil. They
placed themselves upon the solid rock
that as slavery was creature of law
sustained by the political parties in
power the case must be fought on their
own ground.

of the old Whig party proposed to re-

took the name of Republican party

presidential candidate in 1856. The old

Is HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF!
Pittsburg Dispatch Calls Attention to
Present cOnditiOns-Mine Owners
Somewhat to Blame.

Reports of "miniug riots in two
States" and ''attacks on the troops
seem somewhat sensationalized when
judged by the actual facts. Yet it is
beyond dispute that what has taken
place, both in the anthracite region
and in West Virginia, reveals a bitter
spirit that may yet produce outbreaks
like that at Homestead in 1892 and
in many other places in 1897, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep')
Wherever the bitterness of the dis
pute betrays the iaboring element
into attack on the law there is but
one course to take. The law must be
maintained by all the forces at its
disposal. Those who seek to override
it place themselves in the light of
public enemies. But with the un-
varying stipulation that law and
order must be supreme it is equally
to be recognized that dissatisfaction
over the conditions represented by
these strikes is widespread. The peo-
pie at large have no disposition to
encourage riots Bnt there is ageneral
and by no means i'll founded belief that
the dispute, suffering and danger Of
these strikes could have been avoided
by little Cancellation on the part Of
the capitalists controlling the com
panies. The opinion is general that
when very moderate concessions
could have settled the strikes they
were refused, for purposes that are
not to the public advantage; and the
inference is generally drawn that If
the purpose of breaking up the unions
is attained the future condition Of
the miners will be even worse than in
the past.
This feeling is not likely to show
itself In public demonstrations, but
it may make itself felt In other ways,
The example ef 1892 is enough to
show that the uncompromislng policy
OF the coal corporations may prove
most hazardous.

+ The survey of West Virginia Tor
the completion OF the topographic
map of the state is being actively
pushed this season by the United
States Geological Survey in cooper
alton with the state. From a recent
report for the month of June, by
Mr.. Fl. NJ. Wilson, geographer in
charge, to DR.. l. G. White, state ge.
ologist of West Virginia, it is learned
that five parties were engaged in to-
geographic work in six different 10.
cations in the state.
The region surrounding Weston
was in part mapped by the party
under Mr.. A. NJ. Walker, topogra-
pher, and Mr.. E. l. Ireland, assist
ant topographer, which completed
81 square miles of topographic map
ping in twenty seven ~days, ran As
miles of spirit levels, and established
los useful elevations. Thirty square
miles of the region surrounding
Philippi was also mapped by To-
pographer +. S. Ella. A surveying
party under w. N. Brown, topogra-
pher, was engaged in mapping in
the neighborhood of Cameron, the
map of which district when COM
pleted will be known as the Cameron
sheet. This party covered 100
square miles, ran l25 miles OF spirit
levels, and established necessary
bench marks and elevations. A
third region to be mapped was the
section near Blacksmith, SO square
miles OF which were completed by
Mr.. Hersey Monroe. Along the
West Virginia and Ohio boundary
line progress was made on the maps
to be known as the Waverly and
Parkersburg sheets. In the former
section party under Photographer
w. N. Morrill, completed Ito square
miles in topographic mapping, and
ran LOS miles of spirit levels and
345 miles of road traverse. In the

ALL QUIET
Along the Tur bulent New Riv-
er in the Mine Strike.
Soldiers and strikers have Formed
Fast Friendships and Non Union
Men are Being Tolled Away by the
Union Members of the Guard.

So far there has been no disorder
on New river since the National
Guard arrived there. On the con
trary there has been the deepest
peace prevailing. 1t has been claim
ed that the operators caused the
troops to be called out by firing
shots at all times and otherwise
Stimulating disorder.
If they did they are now sorry.
The strikers and the soldiers have
become fast friends. They go swim
ming together and fraternize at all
times. The officers have refused to
take any orders from the operators
and pay no attention to them
The operators wanted them to take
orders direct from the mine owners
but the officers in charge very prop
erly informed them that the orders
taken would have to come from the
sheriff and no one else.
Many imported non union miners
have been induced to go away after
talking with the troops, many of
whom are union men. This condi
ton of affairs is maddening to the
operators but the strikers do not
feel at all badly over it.
The latest reports from New river
are to the effect that the regiment
will probably be sent home some
time during this week.
A party of officers from Mercer
county are now at Charleston to ask
that troops be sent into Mercer
county ON account of the lawlessness
prevailing over there just at present.
No intlmation of the Governor 5 de
eision has been made. In case he
does send them it is thought that
the Second regiment will be called
upon.
