The Columbus Times.
Change of Management.
The Columbus Timei, which
for months past has been a blub
bering, boyish she"et, represent
ing the boys who lost marbles in
a"gam of keeps," has at last
luckily changed hands, and Sim.
Donovan comes to the front as
managing editor.
The Democracy of Ohio have
long felt the need of a paper in
Columbus that wonld reflect to
us in the back woods some light
from the original sun. "We hear
of Payne and Pendleton papers
at Columbus. We are confident
ly advised that Thurman and
Ewing and Bishop and a .host of
other magnates are interested,
and must be sustained.
. The Democrats of the rural dis
tricts will lend, if they have it to
spare, a dollar or more to any of
the dignitaries of the Democracy
begginshelp, should they need
it and ask it.
The Columbus orgin of the
jparty should be a paper for the
party not for any man.
If Mr. Donovan conducts his
paper, as we think he will, in the
interests of the Party, letting as
pirants for office take care of
themselves, he will make it a
success.
There is a "long felt want"
among us rural roustabouts in
Capital City papers. We want a
Democratic paper that is tied to
no man's coat tails, and that will
make a party fight, allowing in
all conventions, local, state, or
national, the even chance for the
"best man to win.
If, as we hope, under Donovan,
the Times will be true to Dem
ocracy, w bespeak for it a liber -al
patronage in Logan and the
Hocking Valley.
Much might be said about the
Times, the old past Times, but
this would notbs pertinent nor
manly.
We suggest that the new man
agement adopt the plan of allow
ing the unwashed to "rastie"
with the candidates, and that the
Capital City organ give us the
unadulterated Democrady with
out the Trade Mark of any aspi
rant upon the lace of it, or smear
ed upon the tails of its skirts.
Mr. Dan Flanagan has sold the
Delaware Herald to Mr. New
comber. We regret that Bro.
Flanagan is out of the service.
He is one of the original men ;
one of the editors who keeps his
fingers on the public pulse and
announces a determination that
carries with it, not only the good
sense of a situation, but also the
judgment of an editor who hear
ing all sides of a question, pub
lishes such as may be in his no
tion in harmony with his party.
We have not agreed with Dan
Flanagan on the matter of the
Duke De Pendleton, but we re-
spect his position and honor him
for the gallant fight he made for
his man.
We hops his successor, Mr.
Newcomber, will be as valiant
and as determined in all the is
sues involving the Democratic
party as his predecessor. He is
an experienced newspaper man,
and we have every reason to hope
that he will keep tho Delaware
Herald up to its present high
Democratic standard.
Senator Welsh visited Logan
on last Fridsy. From 'tho best
information we gather, the Sen
ator concluded that the people
r otiogan are Democrats and are
f'; sensible, and that as a Senator
' from this district he will givo a
closed ear to lobbyists, and will
open his intelligence to justice,
honesty, fair dealing and Democracy.
The Preservation of the
Hockiiig Canal.
It has always been the policy
of the Democratic party to pre
serve the system of public works
of the state intact from spoila
tion by rival raH road corporations
and from destruction at the in
stance of selfish individuals.
The public works are state
property, paid for by the state,
and maintained for the public
benefit, and so long as the public
of the state does net suffer, and
their maintenance inures to the
benefit ot, no matter how incon
siderable a number of citizens,
honor, justice and a wise public
policy demand their preservation.
Just now there is a clamor for
the abandonment of the Hocking
canal.
Let us consider for a moment
this movement and the parties
engaged in it.
THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR.
The occasion was the recent
flood, and the pretext made that
the damage is so great that the re-
damage is so
great
that the re
pair will cost more than the can
al is worth. Let us consider this.
Superintendent Harlow White
has gone the entire length of the
canal and on a liberal estimate
places the cost of repair at less
than ten thousand dollars. The
cost of making this repair will
be paid by the state. The amount
Hocking county will be compell
ed to pay, is not over ten dollars,
less than half a cent to the tax
payer who pays 1 hundred dollars
tax. The average tax payer, the
man who pays, say $20.00 a year,
will be ten years payiug his pro
portion before the sum he pays
for canal repairs will cost him a
cent. So that the "great expense"
clamored about is a childish
prattle, too feble to entertain.
But suppose the canal is aband
oned. The damage done by the
destruction of water power to
mills, the loss to owners of boats
and persons with property in
vested, will cost the state, if the
state pays it, more than the cost
of repairing the canal. Te re
pair the caial preserves the
property on the canal and pre
serves the "canal also. In other
words it costs as much to aban
don the canal as it does to repair
it.
WHAT IS THE CANAL WORTH.
It is claimed the canal is not
worth preserving.
Two vears ago the state was
offered a yearly rent 0 ten thou
sand dollars for the canal and a
railroad throwa in. The rent at
ten t&msand dollars is the inter
est on one hundred and sixty
thousand. Say the canal will
cost ten thousand to put it in as
as it was last
year, then it is still a property
worth to the slate not less than
one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that a Democratic legisla
ture will abandon, give away
property for nothing, which two
it "i
years ago a republican legisla
ture refused to sell fer one hund
red and fifty thousand dollars of
money, and a railroad guaranteed
to the Valley.
THE OAKAL INTEREST TO LOGAN.
The only strong objection for
public consideration urged
against the canal by thcae seek
ing its destruction, is that it is
the source of much sickness. A
broeder of MALAKIA.
This malaria is a new thing,
and developes most when men
have no othes excuse to offer to
carry out personal ends. It is a
mysterious name that alarms the
fearful nerves of the stalwart
Loganites.
The assertion that the canal
produces sickness is not true any
more than that a hill or a hollow,
a railroad, or a river couees sick
nees. Logan is one of the most
healthful towns in the state. Our
statistics show that, and such be
ing tho case, we can properly aiu
gue that our exceptional goa
health is duo to the canal arid
that its abandonment would re
sult in ague, dumb and shaking
in all its malarial modifications.
Only a few years ago when a
Home was sought for the Orphans
the benevolent and intelligent
directors, under advise of able
physicians, selected a house on
tha banks of the canal in the
spot most exposed to canal in
fluence if any in town, and we
have vet to hear if the Orphans
suffered from malaria in that lo
cation. So the argument on the
grounds of health will not hold
water, not even canal water.
WHO ARE BENEFITED BY AN ABAND
ONMENT. Persons owning lands adjacent
to the canal say they will be ben
eficed by destroying the canal,
thus giving them from one to
ton acres of land additional. This
is true, perhaps, if when aband
oned the canal roverts to the
owners of tho lands through
which it passes. But is an in
justice dene those land owners
by preserving the canal? me
,ion,Qir if :inv done by the
building of the
:anal, was paid
for forty years ago. The present
ownersbought the valley lands
with a full knowledge of the fact
that the canal existed, and took
chances of damage from floods
of river and eanal,just as the
man on the hill farm takes
chances on the washing rains
that seam his fields, and the
drouth that parches his western
slopes. No injustice is don
those men by preserving the can
al, but a great wrong would
be perpetrated to destroy mill
rights and boat property in order
that a few men might be given a
few acres of land they havo nev
er paid for.
THE BKSHFIT OF THE CANAL TO LO
GAN. The repair of the canal at a
cost of ten thousand dollars will
give employment to our indust
rious laborers and will put not
less than nine thousand dollars
of slate money in circulation
among our business men.
The canal gives employment
to at least ten Logan men. Their
labor helps them maintain fam
ilies and support the business
interests ot our town. Abandon
the canal and what will become
of these men. Who has employ
ment for them. They may enter
the shops or engage in daily
work, but they divide with those
not now with constant work, nor
favored with unusual pay. Dhey
will become burthens on society
or they will be compelled to
move away. Can we afford to
drive away one of our working
men?
THE CANAL A WATKR SUPPLY.
The canal supplies our town
With an inexhaustible supply
of water in caso of fire, maintain
ed at the cost of the state. Its ad
vantage is realized in this: The in
surance companies threatened lo
cancel all their fire policies, ta
ken al a reasonable rate, when
the canal supply of water was ap
Tyrant, unless the water suddIv
was preserved. And our street
commissioner at once pioceeded
to "repair the canal at corpora
tion expense" in order to furnish
apond of water for an emergency.
Without the canal the additional
cost of insurance in this town is
estimated to be not less than five
thousand dollars. This is a prac
tical item, and the cost of aband
ment in increased , insurance
alone, will each year be more
to Logan than the cost of keep
ing up the canal each year to the
state. To maintain water in the
canal as is now done by a dam
near the fair grounds is to create
a stagnant pool, from which we
well may fear the hydra-headed
malaria will rise in all its horrid
proportions.
But for a reason still higher,
the canal should be preserved, at
least for a time, until men with
interests involved can adjust
their affairs to a future determin
ation. It is the proud boast of
our American Idea that the
strong arm of the government
will lift to protect the rights of
the humblest citizen, and that
all the machinery of the law and
all the forces of the nation will
respond to a demand for the pro
tection of the property of the
poorest mam
Thw owner of a canal boat is as
much entitled to the protection
of his propertp as the millioniare
is his palace. His boat may be
his home. It may be all he pos
sesses. It is sacred to him, and
the governmont is in duty bound
to respect his rights and protect
his property.
We think the good sense of the
Legislature, sustained by the
good sense of the people of Lo
gan and the Hocking Valley will
repair the Hocking canal.
Hanging of the Jones
Brothers,
At Jackson On JLasl Friday.
Jackson, O. Feb. 29. Luke
and William Jones, who. with
Laban Stephens, had been found
guilty of the murder of Ander
son Lackey, were hanged to-day.
They retired at 10 last night, af
ter a long season of prayer with
Kev. Hollingshead, Methodist
preacher, who remained all night
with tho men. They slept sound
ly, and had to be awakened at
6 this morning. They ate a hear
ty breakfast, singing hymns, and
kept on singing and praying while
preparing for The gallows with a
guard. When the reporter en
tered the ceil they greeted him
cheerfully, saying, "we are doing
our best to die bravely."
A procession formed in the
jail, the prisoners being amply
guarded for fear of violence.
They passed out at the front door
of the sheriff's office, in full view
of the crowd in tho street, and
into the- door of the inclosure,
where the execution took place.
The prisoners in the jail looked
through the grated windows up
on the Bcene. The condemned
stepped firmly up to their places,
and the ropes were adjusted to
their necks after their arms and
logs were tied. ' Then the minis
ter using notes, made a prayer
lasting fully half an hour.
The drop fell at 1:12. William
Jones struggled, but Luke was
still. His neck was undoubtedly
broken. The body of William
swung around and his legs were
drawn up till they touched his
brother's body, causing horror
among the spectators. The bod
ies were cut. down after the usual
medical examination, ind placed
in the hands of friends.
There was some talk in the
crowd of lynching Johnson, in
jail for recent murder.

The Corning Cbnrch War.
Last week we noticed tho fact that ReT.
O'Boylan.of Corning, had been arrested at
the instance of McDevitt, for haying a
"Wheel of Fortune" at a. Church Fair. The
next issue of the Columbus Journahcon
talned a telegram from Corning denouncing
McDevitt as a bad man, a murderer, &c
This article McDevitt understood came from
the Priest, aad he followed It in Saturday's
Journal by a communication in which the
character cf the Priest was savagely de
nounced. On Sunday a Church Meeting was held, at
which the congregation expressed confi
dence and pledged support to their Min
ister. Kundaynightamobof men went to Mc
Devltt's place o; business, and with pointed
revolveis drove him from town, threaten
ing liis life if he would return.
Tho Priest was also threatened, and he
left, going to Columbus.
On Tuosday Sheriff Crosble, with a posse
of thirty men, went to Corning and arrested
twelve of tho menengagaclin driving Mc
Davitt away, most of whom failing to givo
bond, were put tojail.
The Priest, returning Irom Columbus was
arrested at Now Uexington, but gave bail.
McDevitt started for home, at last advices,
armed with a repeating rlfio and supported
by an armed force, declaring his Intention
to maintain himself at all hazards.
Tho feeling is very intense on both sides,
but it is hoped that passion and prejudice
will give place to reason, and that no furth
er disturbance will ensue.

"A pipe! It is a great comfortor, a

The ancients did not indulge in the
habit, and appear to have enjoyed them
selves fairly well without the weed,
which Columbus, first of Europeans,
saw the "Crazy Horses1' and "Sitting

name of tobacco. Could some Hellenic
Jean Nicot or Latin Walter Raleigh
have taught the Greeks and Romans
the seductive practice, Alcibiades and
the Athenian dandies would have as
suredly puffed cigarettes, and Horace,
in dressing-gown and slippers, sitting
in an ivory chair, beside his Bandusian
fountain, would have watched the deli
cate blue wreaths curling up against
the dark background of ilex and laur
el from the bowl of his brier-root; while
Seneca, as much man of the world as
philosopher, would, perhaps, have at
fected only tho best brands of Havanas;
and, to go back to Greece, Socrates
must have certainly smoked a church
warden. The eye "and ear of imagina
tion picture the composed sage smiling
at the futile rage of Xantippe between
tho deliberately exhaled puffs of his
long, classical "clay." A society with
out tobacco certainly lacked one of the
greatest sedatives of civilization; the
wonder is, how the fathers of poetry
managed to beguile the miues minus
the help which, according to Cowper,
"does more lo quicken and refine tiian

conveyed to the hospital and Rande
was ordered by Assistant Deputy
Gavin in solitary confinement.
Rande pretended to be very weak,
and staggerd along until near the
door, when he jumped, for a knifo
lying on the bench of Samuel H.
McGee, a Methodist minister, serv
ing 14 years for wife poisoning. Mc
Gee preventing R-indo from procur
ing the knife, when the desperado
picked up a hammer and throwing
it at Gavin struck tho latter in the
forehead, The struggle at. the
other end of the shop was repeated.
Rande got hold of another harness
knife &nd Gavin pulled out a 40
caliber single shot Derringer and
SHOT RANDE IN THE RIGHT SIDE,
four inches below and a little back of
tho nipple. The ball struck a rib
and glanced, coming outof his cloth
ing. Wbile Gavin was shooting,
Rande, now frenzied with rage and
pain, got his cane and struck him
over the head, but McGee struck
up his arm and the blow failed of its
effect. Gavin then got the cine and
struck Rande a crushing blow on
the top of the head, but he grasped
the caneragain, when Ed McDonald
came to Gavin's aid and drew a re
volver, ordering the fiend to surren
der. But lie refused, and McDonald
SHOT HIH IX THE LEFT EAR,
which caused bim to fall to floor a
lifeloss mass. He was carried to
the hoBpital as dead, whero he was
seen by a United Press reporter an
hour afterwards and life was not ex
tinct. When the hospital steward
was making the examination of
Kando he regained enough of his
senses to recognize those about him.
When asked what cause he had for
attempting the life of McDonald, ho
replied that he had meditated to do
it several da3's ago. Said he: 4,If
you knew all Id), jou would not
blame mc. I was
C03I5II33IONED TO KILL
by God Almighty, whose agent I
am. I am not Jesus Christ, but I
have power to sive sinners and
criranals, and if you will get me a
Biblo I will show it to you in the
Book of Revelation. I will kill him
because he punished me in the sol
itary." Surgeons were summoned
to attend the deputy warden. On
examination they found the skull
badly fractured, and the bone crush
ed to the brain. They removed two
pieces as large as a silver dollar, and
several smallor ones at another
time. He was conscious this even
ing, and vomiting. The doctors
cm not form a definite opinion of
the result of his injuries, but little
hopes aro entertained for his recov
ery.
Since Rande came to the prison in
February, 1878, he has undergone
PUXISHMEXT IN SOLITARY.
three times. There was no cause
for the assault of to-day, as McDon
ald had not spoken to him in months,
the attack being mado by Rande of
his own natural cusseduess. Ihere
is great excitement at the prison,
all hoping that Rande's wounds
will result in a well-deserved death.
Later advices are to the effect that
Rande will get well, and that his
craziness is all put on, his hope be
ing to get into an asylum.
