II begins to look as though Mr.
Cleveland's boom for third term in
the presidential chair has pretty
firm foundation. Eastern politicians
are earnestly discussing his chances
and the general sentiment among the
members of his party seems to be that
he would make powerful candidate,
OF course the opposition Of Mr.. Bryan
is to be expected and it is not to be
underestimated either, but Democrats
hope that in the interim the wound
may be healed and peace restored.

OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.

Columbus. May cit has not yst
been decided whether brigade CT
division encampments shall be held
by the Ohio National Guard this year,
although at the close of last ye,r's
encampments 1t was tacitly understood
that the encampment this. year wculd
be by division. The published state
ments that this matter has been set
tied is mistake. Governor Nash ex-
poets to confer with General Dick this
week about it. The Dick law provide
foi the annual encampment of the
state troops with the regulars so tha.
both may drill together but it is not
probable this pan will be followed in
Ohio this year because the government
has no grounds in this state suitable
for such gatherings. The new post
grounds which the government VIII
purchase near this city soon will prob.
ably be large enough for ,atl purposes
under the Dick law. 1t will take near
ly year to place the grounds In prop
er shape. ii tA .

SCOTS openly. The power of the brutes
is no longer credited In discussing
the bloodhound question the Cleveland
Plain Dealer says:
Several recent cases have tended to
undermine the popular belief in tho
value of bloodhounds as detectives
The brutes fill large place in fiction,
but in fact, admitting the infallibility
Of their instinct, their use is seldom
satisfactory or conclusive They will
follow scent as long as there is a
trace of q scent, burt this scent may
easily be wrong one. The employ
detection of crime is attended by such
fearful risks of mistake that it should
be resorted to sparingly. Under no
circumstances should life or reputa-
tion be placed in jeopardy on the "tes-
timony'' of bloodhounds unless strong
corroborative evidence is at hand.
The bloodhound of fiction. like the
detective of fiction, is more interest
ing than authentic. Both owe much
of their present Importance to the ro-
mancer. In real lie neither levels up
to the standard set by story writers.
Gaboriau. Doyle and others who have

that their creations are anything more

ments of neither bloodhound nor de-
tective have been impressive"

Neighborly Views.

Electric cars are now ready to run
between Canton and Alliance, am
there never was a better opportunity
afforded for the Republican polite
ians of the Stark county seat and the
East End to enjoy the society of each
other at small expense 1t remains to
be seen, however. whether they VIII
avail themselves of it or continue to
sharpen knives and nurse their hatred.
Vindicator
The Independent county seat con.
temporaries are competent to defend
their own, but il may not be out of
place to remark that it is the general
impression that all the knife sharpen
ing and hatred nursing. If there are
any, are being done at Alliance. His
tory shows that Alliance, in propc T.
tion to the size of its vote, has held
more Offices than any city of its size
in the county. Vibrations Of broth
erly love are always being sent out
from the East End and there is really
no reason why Canton and Alliance
politicians should not ride on the same
cars and fraternize at each
end of the route. Massillon Inde-

year. pay about one-fifth of their just
proportion the other four-ffths will
be saddled upon the individuals. Fig
ures upon the tax duplicate of Stark
county show that both the steam and
the electric railway lines are assessed
upon valuations which are scandal
ously low. The time has arrived when
these valuations must go up. There
is limit to the patience even of the
long suffering public and that limit
has been reached. Let the auditors OF
the state in whose hands this matter
rests think well before they league
themselves with the railway corpora
tions for another year The people
are now thoroughly awake to their in
terests and are not to be longer inn
posed upon. Public sentiment is the

Bloc dhound as a sIeuth.

Are bloodhounds competent detec-
tives and should their actions follow
ing crime be acceptable as evidence
These questions. which have been sug
gested by the recent arrest OF Father
Walser, at Lorain are just now being
generally discussed by the press of
the country. The sentiment appears
to prevail that the dogs are very un-
reliable as sleuths and that evidence
supplied by them should under no cir
cumstances be used against an ac-
cnsed person.
Canton has probably has as much
experience with bloodhounds as any
city In the state. On oocaljions. the

Father Walser,s the priest charged
with the murder of Agatha Reichlin
at Lorain, has been released and the
mystery surrounding the death of the
young woman is now as dark and i'm
penetrable as on the morning follow
ing the crime. There appeared to be
no evidence against Father Walser
excepting that furnished by the action
of the bloodhounds, which was clearly
not admissible without something in
corroboraton. So it was that the in
quest which was, expected to produce
much against the accused really pro-
duced nothing and he has been set
free. But from the stigma Of the ac-
cusation he cannot be set free. He
is marked man. No matter how
ample the vindication an arrest under
such terrible circumstances leaves a
stain. There will always be those who
believe that Father WalseT killed
Agatha Reichlin, no matter what the
sentiment of the court. But there are
thousands of people throughout the
state who will rejoice with the accus-
ed in his release, people who have
steadfastly believed in his innocence
and who have prayed for him in this
his hour of sore affection.

Methods Like Our Own

3 Russia is pursuing in regard to Man
churia the same diplomatic policy that
has marked the history Of Muscovy
from its beginning. The chief feature
of this policy is it's unblushing mem
dacity. While protesting to have no
desire to attach Manchuria to the Rus
sian empire, every step Of the govern
ment at st. Petersburg in it's relations
with China has been in that direction.
But so familiar are the nations with
the methods of Russia that not one II
them has been in the least deceived by

Chicago dispatches state that there
has cen a substantial advance in the
price of beef in that city without ap-
parent justification for the increase. A
few weeks ago the packing firms which
constitute the alleged beef trust were
prosecuted In Missouri for conspiracy
to fix prices on meat. They were con.
victed and made to pay a fine Of $4,000
each. The violation of the Missouri
statutes cost the combine $25,O00. The
advance in the price of beef will add
many time that sum to the profits OF
