SECOND EDITION.. has bis finger on vOLTTMBTJS should now go and aoak cor bead la that West Side sewer, another epidemic Is raging in the unio penitentiary. This time it chlckenpox. ihe time has arrived for Mr. Foraker to smear some more treacle on the Hanna boom. iHBSE is one kind of business that appears to be booming and that is the formation of trusts. There is still a sparkle in Foraker's eye when he says he .will take so part in me election of a senator. - The unusual display to be made at the second Inauguration of Governor Bushnell wyi not draw any enconiums from Marcus A. Hanna. - - the situation in Vienna is critical, to be sure; but it is nothing in compar ison with the state of affairs existing in the governor's office at Columbus, One of the Republican members of the Hamilton county legislative delegation is authority tor the statement that Hanna will receive no support from them. An official ol the navy department is authority for the statement that there are only four ships of the service which are not under-officered and under manned. vhakujs isn't tailing as much for publication as he did just after the election, but his whispers are said to be just as voluble and ten times as effective. WHEN we said that congress would convene next Monday, we were using a figure of speech. We really meant that Tom Reed would assemble together on that day. These are rumors afloat that President McKinJey will not be able to indorse in his message the program of Currency Reform to be recommended by Secretary Gage. Some of the newspapers are inclined to sneer at the Zanesville board of education because it refused to errant the city teachers permission to attend the Eastern Ohio Teachers' Association.It IS with an amused interest that the Democrats watch the struggle of the anti-machine : Republicans to get from under the dead-fall of Mark Hanna and escape from the steel trap of Geo. B. Cox. The Louisville Courier-Jowrnal finds a proof of better times in the increased output of chewing tobacco. We have noticed that the wave of prosperity has something of the color and flavor of tobacco spit. It is not an inspiring picture to see Uncle Sam bowing humbly to Spanish power, tendering the viceroy a bouquet of non-intervention posies, while in the background Spanish soldiers are ravaging the fair island of Cuba, killing and burning. The first really cold weather of the winter will show how far the improvement in business conditions has affected the poorer class of people. If any large proprotion ot last year's unemployed have found work there will be a great decrease in the number of applications for assistance. Hanna is in imminent danger of losing the valuable counsel and influence of George B. Cox, since he has struck up a flirtation with the alleged reform Republicans on the Cincinnati delegation. George may have "retired" from politics temporarily, but he won't stand any betrayals on the part of his pals. The election being over, the Columbus people are reviving the scheme to build a new state house and other public buildings. The tax payer may as well begin now to roll up his sleeves, give his belt another hitch and get down to hard work. He must dig this extra money out of the soli in one way or another. So Minister Woodford tells the Spanish government that we Americans are tickled almost to the verge ot hysterics over the "generous" but fake offer of autonomy to Cuba. How if any person has seen any signs of this exuberance on the part of anyone not wedded to Spanish interests, will said person please speak up and point him out? It is stated on good authority that at the meeting In Columbus on January 11, 12 and 13, 1898, of the presidents and members of boards of education, to be held for the purpose of forming a permanent state organization, steps will be taken with the end in view of petitioning the general assembly to provide for a more equal distribution of the state school fund. Foraker is in a position to save his following from ignominy and annihila te If Hanna succeeds in going back to the senate the rank and file of the Forakerites will be out to the sword figuratively speaking. No doubt about this. But if Foraker has not been enervated by his present surroundings and cowed by the powerful Cleveland boss, he will stand by his friends. He can Bave them no other man can. Good times are coming. We learn from the American Wool and Cotton porter that "suitings and overcoatings have advanced from 25 to 50 per cent." We also learn from the same authority that "the argument has exploded, put forth by a great many clothiers last year, after Mr. McKlnley's election, that as soon as the Dlngley bill would - be passed their clothing stocks would appreciate in proportion to the rise In the prices of wool and woolen materi als brought about by the new tariff." Changes ot fashion, it is said, have Interfered with this prospect. Stocks on hand, of an unfashionable cut, do not get the benefit of the Dlngley tax. George b. cox Hanna's pulse. It is remarked that at the much-ad vertised dinner of the Stamina elub, at Cincinnati, Senator Foraker said never a word about Republican harmony in Ohio. He probably went on the theory that least said, soonest mended. It is also remarked that Senator Hanna was conspicuous by his absence. THE Cleveland Plain Dealer's atti tude, both during the recent camoaign and at the present time, regarding the senatorial succession is very hard to reconcile with its claims of being an advocate of Democratic principles. It seems to be in a sweat for fear the Democrats might throw some obstacle In the way of Mark Hanna, jkev. Frank Dg Witt Talmage, who has been in Chicago only two weeks, has already discovered that Chicago is the headquarters of all the thieves and loafers and anarchists and cranks and general dead beats In the country and he wants "ten or twelve of these scoundrels -rtotdWTi-iw- old blood" to purity the moral atmosphere. The Chicago Chronicle thinks that in the meantime Mr. Talmage might find it beneficial to take about ten grains of blue mass, xva American interests are para A i - . . mount in the Hawaiian Islands the assumption of the annexationists has been that American sentiment there is practically a unit for their fad; but Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who has just returned from Hawaii, reports that Of the 3,086 Americans there a large number some say one-half are opposed to being absorbed by this country. The fact is that the cry for annexation has never come from Hawaii, but from a Hawaiian lobby in Washington. The Canadian authorities in the cold fields have issued a proclamation warning people at Dawson who are not fully provided with food necessary to exist ence Immediately to move down the Yukon river, for it is ascertained after careful view of the situation that there is not sufficient supply of food for the winter. The words are not the words of sensational correspondents, they are words of soberness and truth Uttered with full knowledge of official respon sibility by Canadian officers: "For tose who have not laid in a winter's supply to remain here any longer is to court death from starvation or. at least, a certainty of sickness from scurvy or other troubles. Starvation now stares every man in the face who is waiting and hoping for outside relief."The important news that two Ameri can senators who went to Hawaii on an investigating tour in favor of annexation, are returning strong in opposition is a matter of considerable import ance for the effect it may have in stir-ricgup public sentiment. The senators are Pettigrew, of South Dakota. and Dubois, of Idaho, the latter an ex- senator, but one whose word wllT-gor great way. The dispatch fromHonolulu reports Senator Pettlgrew addressing a meeting of natives as follows: "We came to your island for the purpose of ascertaining what the people who live in this country think about the question of annexation of the islands, and also see what we could learn about the desirabllitv of annex. ing these islands, if we found the people wanted them annexed on the part of the United States. I have supposed that many of your people were in favor of annexation because it has been so represented. I have talked to many and I have failed to find a native Ha waiian who is not ODDOsed to annexa tion to the United States, and in favor of their own government." Concerning the suits brought at Toledo against druggists for selling. long established proprietary medicines, when druggists in Columbus are sell ing the same medicines right under the eyes of the very suspiciously acting food commissioner, the Newark American saya: "The fact that these suits were re cently brought, by this state official, before an unknown, obscure justice of the peace in the northwest corner of the State is evidence plain and conclusive that something is wrong. These same medicines are sold In everv drug store in Columbus where these btate officials have their headquarters and the fact that they are not molested while suits are brought in a far away section of the State has its explanation."It is claimed that the voung iuBtlce was the law student of the attorney of the food and dairy commissioner and that his office is just across the hall from the law office and the suggestion is made that this lawyer may have a control over the young justice and thereby insure conviction in these cases that could not be had elsewhere. One thine is mlchtv certain and that is that when voting time again comes about the common people will see to it that this infamous injustice to them and their friends, the druggists, LIGHT ON THE QUESTION-The subject of municipal ownership is one that is pushing itself to the front and with the growth of Socialism in this country the arguments in its behalf will become more and more peremptory and assertory. The question has been sprung in its full significance upon the people ot Zanesville by the introduction In council of an ordinance looking towards the city's ownership of an electric light plant. This will cause an endless amount of argument pro and con concerning the principle of municipal ownership and thus create an interest that will prove to be of educational value. The more people discuss prin-ples of government the better citizens they become because the wiser they grow. But while a debate of this kind is always beneficial, it may not be beneficial for every municipality to undertake an expensive experiment simply because the theory underlying the experiment is deemed to be correct. And this brings into this present question of municipal ownership, so far as Zanes ville is concerned, the local question of expediency. Is Zanesville in condition to under take a great and costly improvement just now, even admitting that the proposed municipal plant woald be an improvement on present conditions? Are the taxpayers prepared to un dertake the carrying of an additional weight, before some of the present bur dens have been removed from their shoulaerar -What is the hurry to invest money in I . - .v oixuiwiniviu Tlir niltllYl Bfi I ' RIVE fMPI einnnr, lit I this scheme when the present contract ior lighting has two years vet to run? Wouldn't it be taxing the people two years in advance of any possible neces slty? If municipal ownership be desirable, would it not be advisable to wait until the present contract is about to expire before entering upon the new expendi tures' These are questions that should be answered to the satisfaction of a ma jority of the taxpayers, before the right or wrong of the principle of municipal ownership is touched upon, There is no necessity of discussing the principle, except in an educational way, until the expediency of prosent action is determined. .men, snouia tne counciimen as rep resentatives of the taxpayers decide that they are right now ready to in crease the rate of taxation and under take this experiment forthwith, another question presents itself. Do the citizens of Zanesville desire to see the streets, further obstructed with unsightly poles and the dan gerous wires, that already make a network of death suspended over the head of every pedestrian, doubled in number and in danger? In other words, if it be decided that the city should go into the electric light business, should an entirely new plant be started or should the city buy tne plant already in existence? These are the questions each and all of them that every councilman and every citizen should seriously consider before making up his mind. In this connection the following prop osition submitted by the Zanesville Electric Light, company to the city council appears to be eminently fair: "If, after due consideration, your final judgment is that the city must own its own plant then we offer to sell you ours. If we cannot agree upon a price, we propose the matter shall be arbitrated, upon lines that will be fair to both sides, with the understanding that each party accepts the judgment oi me aroitrators, obeermiiy, as final. "It seems to US that this Dronositinn is so fair that there cannot be anv rea sonable objections raised to it by any one. What will be the use of a second plant, when an established one can be had at a price in accordance with its merits and real value? We believe all will aree that there are already too many poles and wires in our streets and that it will not be wise to add more when there is no necessity for it. "We ask, in conclusion, that the matter be carefully considered, and that your action will be such as your good udgment and fair and honorable deal- ng will dictate." f THE B. &. 0.
