Not long ago the News-Democrat
published story, setting forth some
of the reasons for the enmity existing
between the Goulds and Vanderbilts
over their respective railroad proper
ties in Ohio. 1t was shown at that
time how the purchase of the Canton
& East Liverpool railorad was slap In
the face by one faction by the other.
from the effects of which neither side
has recovered its equanimity. Now
GENES story from Columbus which
confirms the enmity between the two
factions. After few years spent by
each in checkmating the other with
numerous railway schemes, both sides
have entered the field Of Ohio politics.
Under the former system of warfare
between the Gould and Vanderbilt fac
tions. this part of the state was oriss-
crossed with proposed railways which
had as their only object. the gaining
of the other factions traffic. Railroads
and rumors of railroads at present fill
the air, and it is presumed that tho
Pennsylvania improvements in this vi
cinity are being made by the Wander
bilts to offset The Wheeling improve
ments under the direction of Myron 7.
Herrick. the Goulds Ohio representa-
tive.
BIG FOUR STEPS IN.
Since the sale of the Canton and
East Liverpool railroad to the B. and
o., and the entrance of the Wabash in
to Pittsburg. the Vanderbilt faction
has been staggered by Gould encroach-
ments in their pre-empted territory.
But when M. Z. ingalls, who Is at
the head of the Big Four and Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway systems, re-
Gently announced that the Big -Four
would seek Pittsburg outlet to the
east, the fight took on renewed anima-
ton. 1t was then evident that tho
railroad end of the fight had not been
given up by the Vanderbilt faction.
While this progress of the Big Foui
is being pushed. ingalls, has another
little boom of his own tucked away
In his pocket. Ever since Cousin My

an active gubernatorial boom. the

BOOSTED BIZ D.
PROPERTY
Auditors Added a Little, t,
But Not Enough to
Suit Bemis.

The auditors who met at Cleveland
"Wednesday to appraise the Cleveland
Lorain & Wheeling railway. added
S231,344 to its taxable value, after an
all days session which was remarkable
for its fiercencss. Some of the audi
tors insisted upon higher valuation
than the one placed upon 1t, but the
majority was not in favor Of it.
Auditor NJ. w. OberIin remained In
Cleveland and Is assisting in the ap-
praisement of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie today. The total appraisement Of
the line was fixed at s2,42S.491, which
was accomplished by adding little
TO each of the several branches and
main line. Stark county will benefit
by this increase, as there are about 40
miles of main and side tracks inside
her borders.
Tom Johnson's man, Professor Benz
is, was at the meeting and he wanted
the auditors to fix the valuation above
the ten million mark.

LABOR HIS SALVATION
Possibility OF Negro Advance
mont Not Found In Cia m or
ing for Social Equality.

The negro's salvation is to come
from work. Northern adventurers
wronged him equally with his white
neighbor when they turned his at
tention to social equality and political
right, when his first proper task was
to make himself useful and neces-
sary part of the community in which
he lived. Industriously, the negro has
found the South more friendly than
the North. The Southerner is glad to
see him in almost any useful employ
ment. where the North allows him to
boots. We shall do well to bother our
selves very little about the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments and con-
tribute what we can afford to our su-
perior wealth of the educational fac
ilities of the poorer south. We are
beginning to understand, also, that the
education which teaches a negro to
make boots is better than the educa-
tion which tells him what is the cap
ital of Switzerland or who was the au-
thor of "Marmion." Nothing is more
upsetting, more shallow and deleter-
ious. than hments"-mental
acquisition which rests on no solid
foundation of usefulness and necessity.
1t is fair to admit that in the direction
of sound progress among the negroes,
and consequently among the whites
the south has been distressed and held
back by the mistaken interference of
the north, not only in such gross cases
as the carpet -baggers, the reconstruc-
ton doings of 1868 and the long years
of bloody shirt" but also by the I'M
comprehending censure Of which she
is still the victim. An attitude like
that taken by Mr.. Cleveland Is as
friendly and as helpful to the negro
as to the white. He wisely waves
away remote consequences. which are
all guesswork and futile and speaks
only of the things which we can see.
However the negro may stand In the
scale of humanity when he has made
for himself this necessary foundation
already that the man who taught Mr..
Cleveland his doctrine, who has edu-
Gated us ALL north and south, to see
clearly in the fog of passion and new
conditions, is himself a negro. The
greatest teacher today alive in Ameri-
ca is Booker Washington. - Golfers

JOHNSON VS.. INGALLS,
FOR STATE SUPREMACY

as Herrick was announced as a candi-
date for governor. the Vanderbilts al
so started a performance in the politi-
cal sawdust ring.
INGALLS, GOT BUSY.
The screws were applied in Southern
Ohio. and ingalls, began to get busy.
First he ran for mayor Of Cincinnati.
Although defeated, his failure was
caused by causes foreign to the pres
ent railroad war. His next act was to
declare himself for Tom l.. Johnson
This act was great political signifi-
cance.
With the help of ingalls,, Johnson
will be doubly able to blast Herrick's
hopes. And right here the dominance
Of financial over political alliances is
fcrcibly shown. ingalls, had the sup
port of John r. Mclean as candidate
for mayor of Cincinnati. His assump-
tion of Johnsonism should be taken as
\ declaratin of war to Mclean. ingalls,
simply did his bidding from the Van
dcrbits. Before their word, which to
him was law, ingalls, turned his back
on Mclean. With becoming loyalty
to his superiors in the financial world,
he then met Johnson more than half
way In effecting a reconciliation.
CHANCE FOR WELTY.
Now that this new alliance has come
to dwarf the Herrick boom, the name
of ingalls, has come to the surface as
candidate. He will probably with
draw In favor of some other man. such
as John C. Welty, of this city. whose
boom has already been inflated by In

Ohio as q doubtful state on the politi-
cal map would be q sad blow to tie

State and national issues hang on

The product OF Mr.. Riggle's ingenu-
ity is an improved combined fish and
rail brace, made entirely of steel, and
adjustable to any guage track. 1t is
demonstrated that the invention or
contrivance will make the spreading
of railroad rails an impossibility, and
will do away with railroad wrecks
from this source.
BY its operations the joints of rails
are securely fastened by heavySclamp
which Is secured In its position by a
set screw. A corresponding clamp
fastens to the opposite rail, and the
two are connected by a heavy bar
working as compound screw. which
draws the rails to the proper guage
and absolutely prevents their spread

AMERICAN TRADE
SELF-COMPETIT0R
European ManufaoturI Con-
Germs are Now Turning Out
Many American Articles.

American commerce after period OF
foreign expansion that astonished our
citizens as much as 1t startled those
of European countries, suddenly finds
itself face to face with topping ex-
ports. Not only is there an almost
unprecedented falling off in orders
for machinery from Europe, but we are
once more importing pig iron instead
of sending 1t abroad. This becomes
possible again in our history because
our marvellous prosperity abroad was
caused largely by the re-equipment of
the factories, foundries. mines and
machine shops with American machin-
fActure cheaply American tools and
commodities, even to our name plates
ON implements of all kinds, equal in
every respect to the original article
which they now supplant everywhere,
because owing to our lack of foreign
banking facilities and lax methods of
business In securing and holding for
eign trade. we fail to hold against
those we have enabled to compete with
us for the markets of the world.
The American manufacturer of ma
chinery seemingly has no fellow feel
ing for Yankee maker of commodities
Entire shoemaking plants are sent to
England for installation, and leased
on royalty to the British manufacturer,
and SO popular is the American boot
as 1t is called abroad, that the Yankee
manufacturer of shoemaking machin-
cry is successful In compelling the
British shoemaker to abolish all other
machinery from his factory. These
American shoe plants In Great Britain,
being much nearer the Continental
market than our own. are successfully
competing in many quarters where
American shoes" (made In England)
are becoming quite as popular as the
genuine article.
When America began to lay down
tools In Vladivostok and Port Arthur
for the Russian government, at a less
price than 1t cost to manufacture the
same articles in Germany, there was
an immediate overhauling of German
machine shops. and while the process
of re-equipment with American in
stallations progressed. our exports oi
machinery increased by leaps and
bounds. Now however. 1t is Germany
that lays down tools In the Far Eas,
at the price It costs US to nanufActurc
them. and we are doing the overhaul
ing and installation of new machinery
to compete with our machinery In Ger.
man workshops. The days of ou
commercial walkover" have passed

fights us with our own weapons. .-Alex-
