Frightful Aocidcn. Occurs During
Rccess Mt a Schoolhouse
Near Cincinnati.

i Cincinnati, o.. Sept. 24.-During the
morning recess Of the public school Mt
Pleasant Ridge, about twenty miles
north Of this city, a number of children
lost their lives. When school recessed
there was a playful rush into the out.
house. which gave way, precipitating
about twenty children into the vault.
After nine dead bodies had been re-
covered and twelve were rescued alive
the vault was thoroughly ,dredged and
.drepched and the rescuers abandoned
the search. All of the victims were

Tariffs and Tariffs,

There are a great many different
kinds Of tariffs. There is what is
called tariff for revenue only, and
tariff with incidental protection. the
latter represents democratic views;
and then there are tariffs for protec-
ton with incidental revenue, tariffs
for protection without regard to
revenue and tariffs for monopoly
only.
For manv years the tariff barons
have made large contributions to re-
publican campaign funds, with the
understanding that they would be
permitted to shape the tariff sched-
ules affecting their interests, and
they have so shaped our present
tariff schedules that we now have a
close approach to tariff for monopoly
only. Free trade, or a tariff law
prepared without any regard for
incidental protection, is impractic-
able to say the least, while tariff for
monopoly is robbery.
If tariff rates could be adjusted
along line about midway between
the two extremes, consumers would
be greatly benefited, and the tariff
benefciaries would still have all the
incidental protection which any
honest industry could ask for.
Sooner or later the radical free trade
element in the democratic party will
be completely overborne. and the
democrats who favor tariff for
revenue with incidental protection
will be empowered to revise the
tariff.
The consumers have nothing to
expect or hope for from the republi-
can party. The republican party
never revised the tariff, except to
raise it and make it a greater shelter
for monopoly.
Men like Governor Cummins may
protest ever so much, but they will
never be able to accomplish any,
thing inside the republican party,
for that party is SO associated with
the tariff benefciaries that it cannot
grant any relief to the general pub
lie. The relief when it comes must
come from the democratic party.

Dogs to be Ouarantiued.

Since the last issue of the Demo-
crat, other animals than those there
in mentioned have died of hydrophe-
bia, or been killed because affected
with the disease. Last Friday the
trustees of this township met and
took steps to quarantine dogs in the
neighborhood Of Thorpe where the
mad dog left histrail Of destruction.
For the benefit of those having ami
mails that may have been bitten, we
subjoin some Of the leading symp-
toms Of rabies in the dog and horse
as given in the International Ency-
clopaedia.
Eve shall briefly notice some of
the leading symptoms of rabies in
the dog and horse. These may be
exhibited in the dog in few days,
orit may be, and often is, weeks, and
even months after he has been bit
ten. AT first he loses his appetite,
becomes sullen, fdgety; has a vacant
gaze, ticks or gnaws the injured
part, laps any liquid that comes in
his for he has, unlike man, no
dislike for water, although he has a
difficulty in swallowing it-eats
wood, straw, hair, and other indi-
gestible substances; and in a day OF
two he becomes quarrelsome, bent on
mischief. bites at anything that
comes in his way, and his bark is
more like howl; his lower jaw often
becomes pendulous, and general
paralysis sometimes precedes death;
and as a rule, on the fifth or sixth
day he dies. The principal post
mortem appearances are these-en-
largement and increased vascularity
of the salivary glands, inAamed CON
dition of the base of the tongue and
fauces, epiglottis, and stomach,
which last organ almost invariably
contains such indigestible substances
as straw, hair, offal, etc The symp-
toms in the horse. which become
apparent III Few weeks, are those
of extreme irritability. He trembles,
heayes, and paws, staggers and falls;
and after a severe struggle, he sud-
denly rises again, and appears set
tledand collected, when he will
again exhibit the usual distressing
symptoms. He is sometimes mis-
chievous, bites, foams, and shorts;
and generally in three days he dies
paralyzed and exhausted"

A Choral Club.

MUSIC WAS the first sound heard
in the creation, when tho morning
stars sang together. 1t was the
first sound heard at, the birth Of
Christ, when the angels sang to-
gether above the plains Of Bethle-
fefn: i. language,
which appeals to the universal heart
Of mankind.
There has been considerable agi-
tation among some of the music
lovers of the city, relative to the
formation Of a choral society to en-
gage in the study and rendition of
some Of the worlds best music.
This interest has resulted in call
for meeting Of all those who would
desire to enter such a society, in the
basement of the Carnegie library on
next Monday evening, October 3rd.
Fhe services of Mr.. Scott B. Prowell
can be secured as director and this
will ensure the best of instruction
and Interpretation Of the music Sc
lected. This should be a great OPP
portunity not only for those who
may be somewhat familiar with
musical methods, but for every one
who has any taste whatever for
music to become more familiar with
the best works Of the worlds great
est musicians and to become profc-
lent, under capable leadership, in
their rendition. 1t is hoped that
the people of Manchester, regardless
Of age or musical pretensions, will
take up this work and show that we
can support an undertaking Of this
character. To that end every one
who is interested in the slightest
degree is urged to meet on next
Monday evening in the basement Of
the Carnegie library building, at
1880 o'clock, to take such steps as
may be necessary for the successful
Inauguration Of this important work.
