coai miners arc righted, let no Ameri
can citizen boast or our Christian civ
vllbation orciltlclso theXurl or tho
methods of Russln In Siberia. Tho de
tails of the cruelties .practiced by the
mlno owneis through their ngents arc
bloodcurdling. Many vho read of the
strike anil of the grievances thought
l'ttle of the general charges made,
petting the complaints down ns the
idle talk of a lot of Hungarians and
other foreigners who were in tho main
anarchistic in their piiclples; but tho
sworn statements n the witnesses
bIiow cruelties nnd Injustices practiced
that almost took the Month of the
men of tho world who constitute the
commission. Old men, crippled and
helpless from injuries received in the
mines, told of how, when by reason
of their Injuries they could no longer
work, they were thrown out of lh
Hike) able shacks they called home and
loll to die upon the streets. One of
tho witnesses had Just tome from the
funeral of his wife, whose death was
the direct result of eviction. His tes
timony wound up with: "And one
night she died." "She died," reiterated
Judge Cray, as he paced the floor show
ing deep emotion. Another witness, n
woman, whose husband hnd been kill
ed because of the gross carelessness
ot.lho company, told that she and two
of her boys had slaved thirteen years
to pay off a debt of a few hundred dol
lars vhieh was alleged to he due the
company from her htiPband. Nflthci
she nor the boys cer got a cent for
their labors, and she had to work out
side to support the family. Doubly
price is charged the miners for oil
rqwder, anil all supplies and the com
pany store robs them of what is left
of their wages. And this, is In
Pcnrsylvanin.
"Doc" Norton;' who waslgnomlnous
ly defeated for congress in tho Thir
teenth district this fall, is out after
the scalp of Mayor Tom Johnson, up
on whom he lays the blame for his de
feat. Everything was lovely in the
Thirteenth until Johnson camo along
with his automobile and his tent, says
Norton. From that moment the tide
began to turn and Jackson, Norton';'
opponent, began to gather up a nice
plurality. Now Norton is looking for
revenge. Ho has joined forces with
John R. McLean, who always has his
knife unsheathed for Mayor Tom, and
with a few other disgruntled Ohio
Democrats, these men propose to re
juvenate and to reorganize the party
leaving Johnson strictly on the out
side. It cannot be denied that the
campaign recently closed has taken a
great deal of the starch out of John
son's popularity In the state and the
insurrection for this reason may bo
successful in attaining the results
sought.
Candidates for governor arc going to
be pretty plentiful next year and ac
cording to advices from Washington,
Hon. J. C. Velty and Hon. James A.
Rice of Canton are still wltble the
pale of possibilities. Their chances of
election have been carefully canvassed
by the anti-Johnson fucllou of Ohio
Democracy and they have been placed
among tho available timber. IStthti
of these gentlemen is capable of put
ting up a strong fight and will un
doubtedly do so should the opportunity
present.
The l evolutionary forces of Vene
zuela are uniting to move upon a com
mon enemy. After tho smoke of bat
tle has lifted they will probahly sepa
rate once more and continue tho civil
strife where it was interrupted.
Tho effort of the local corps of the
Salvation army to bring somo cheer
Into tho lives of Canton poor 'on
Chribtmas day Is a most laudable ono
and well worthy of tho support of
every charitably inclined citizen.
When President Roosevelt follows
the advlco of Andrew Carnegie to

Tho Toledo Bee says with all ser

Gullbert denies that ho Inspired an
nouncements which have nppeared in
tho newspapers that he would be a

tho belief that Congressman Dick will
ultimately be n candMuto for govern
or,, although the latter told him that
he was still undecided. Dairy and
Food Commissioner Blackburn is of
the conviction that Ditk is now to all
intents and purposes a candidate.
The Kubernatorial boom of John I..
Zimmerman, of Springfield, who fail
ed to receive the Democratic nomina
tion for this honor in 1901, Is gather
ing form and substance. The fact
that he is not allied with any faction
will clve him on advantmro which
may help him Immeasurably. Tho
name of Hon. A. R. Van Cleaf, of
C'irolcvillc, the veteran Nestor of
Democratic Journalism in Ohio, who
has served In the legislature in many
capacities, has been suggested as a
probable candidate for the nomination
for governor. He Is known for his
unfaltering devotion to tho rockrlb
bed principles of the old time Democ
tacy. Mayor Tom Johnson is accused
of harboring a desire to capture tho
Democratic nomination- for the office
of United States senator.
Chairman Gnrber, of the state Dem
ocratic committee, who represents the
Fourth Ohio concresolonnl district in
the national house of lepresentativcs,
it is stated Is making trins over the

of support from the delegates to sup

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
. some of the most interesting experi
ments in rural school consolidatior
and improvement have been in prog
ress for several years past In the pari
of the country that has heretofore been
regarded as the least progressive in
educational matters. In the staies of
North Carolina and Georgia tho con
ditions are quite dlferont In every way
from those prevailing in New England
and the ralddlo west, where tho school
consolidation movement has attained
its gieatest Impetus. Yet It has been
ful'y demonstrated In each of these
states that It Is cheaper and better
to transport a dozem children four or
five miles to a central school than to
employ a teacher and provide a school
house for these children near to their
homos. The state, pchoob commission
er of Georgia has asked the legislature
to confer upon the county boards of
education tho authority to consolidate
the weak and insufficient schools of
a number of separately settled com
munities into one strong central school
whenever In their Judgment, such ac
tion Is deemed wise and proper.
In North Carolina the number of
school districts was' reduced last year
more than a thousand; the patrons of
the rciiooIs in that state continue to
ask for consolidation nnd centraliza
tion. Farther south, In Florida one county
Duval has concentrated schools
ovet an area of about ono hundred
aquarc miles. Here, as In other south
ern slates, where the transportation
system has been Introduced, the wa
gons are. owned by the counties. Driv
ers .and teams are hired by contract
let to the lowest bidder. American

A Bad Precedent
"While going through bis mail the
other morning Congressman Bower
sock of Kinsas paused some tlirie over
one letter and said: "I am Inclined to
think that Senator Clark of Montana
lm established a bad precedent." Some
one asked why ho had reached that
somewhat belated conclusion. "For
this reason," replied the Kansas man,
holding up the letter and newspaper
cllpplnr.s "The clipping recites how
Mr. Clark gave $1,000,000 to his first
grandson and tho letter whichls from
my son, is as follows: 'Dear Father:

Clark's case, why not try It yourself?
That's why I rather think tho senator

Paraffins Beauties Succeed
the Yellow Dip of Ye
Olden Days. I
Like many other quaint accessory of
our forefathers, the candle Is again
coming into vogue, not only as an ar
ticle of household necessity, but as a
means ot beautifying the home, draw
ing room candles now being consider
ed an almost Indispensable factor ot
decoration for the five o'clock tea, tho
dinner party or formal reception. Ot
course tho candle of ''modern make,
with its rich veneer of color, Is a far
different product than the old tallow
dip with its 111 smelling smoke that
taxed the eyes of our ancestors. Tho
decorative candle of today Is an ac
curately proportioned stick of puro
parafilne that burns with a light M
clear and whlto as the gleam of the
evening star. Clothed in a tinted
rhado ot shimmering silk or even pap
er, It enhances the beauty of a room
or' table a hundred fold.
From the custom. of, decorating tho
house with candles has sprung tho pre
sent day fad of decorating candles
with appropriate designs. There Is no
end to the beautiful effecU nnd sug
ncstlve emblems with which a candle
can be ornamented, a little paint, a
small brush and a gift of originality
being tho only requisites to success.
Every holiday can be made tho sub
ject of emblematic designs, while ev
ery dinner party of function has many
epeclcl features that can bo illustrated
by candles.
At somo of tho select functions giv
en at New York city recently the deco
rations on tho candles were master
pieces of artistic skill, greatly admir
ed by tho gue3ts, many of whom aro
collectors of decorated candles.
The fact that In nearly every fam
ily there is somo ono with more or
less artistic ability makes candle deco
ration a popular pastime, and it is not
surprising that candle parties nre an
ropular. no birthday parties. For
those who havo not the time or do nof"
