The stupid, the selfish, and the base in spirit may denounce it as a vulgar thing, but in the history of race, the Demo- cartic principle has developed and illustrated the highest moral and intellectual attributes of our nature.

Yes, that is a noble, magnanimous, a sublime sentiment, which expands our affections, enlarges the circles of our sympathies and elevates the soul of man, until, claiming an equality with the best, he rejects, as unworthy of "his dignity, any political immunities over the humblest of his fellows. Yes--it is an ennobling principle--and may that spirit which animated our fathers, in the revolutionary contest for its establishment, continue to us, their sons, in the impending struggle for its preservation." J. L. PATTERSON, Editor and Manager. They do say that Mrs.

Harrison would bo pefrectly at home in the White House. Democratic Call. Yes, brother Taylor, but is not likely to make a landing in that port during the summertime of her life, Tho Kansas City Journal, a pronounced and ultra Ropulblican paper, farnkly admits in its issue of the 9th inst, under the head "Buying an Appropriation," that from this Republican congress it is impossible to get an appropriation without buying it. It complains bitterly of the neglect of the Missouri river and adds that "it is like pulling teeth to get the merest pittance" for the improvement of that waterway. The only strange thing about it is that the Kansas City Journal is only beginning to learn that the Republican party is governed in 'all its actions by boodle.

It behooves every man who has the wollfaro of our city at heart and who desires to see it prosper, to further its prosperity and growth by aiding in every possible way to bring labor-employing industries here. No city in Southern Ohio has better transportation facilities than Portsmouth and its proximity to the great coal fields with its shipping facilites and other advantages, makes it on exceptionally desirable point for manufacturing industries. This being true, no other city in Southern Ohio should be allowed to offer better inducements to those seeking a location. Let the people forget their local grievances, if they havo any, and join hands in making Portsmouth the leading manufacturing city in the state. It is true there is much to do to put our city in that position, but it must bo remembered that "tho highest mark was never hit by what was aimed below Judge Dover, of Portsmouth, a can-' didate for tho Republican nomination for Circuit Judge, was in town today consulting with the Hon.

D. W. Jones, the gentlemen jyho will receive Gftllia county's solid support. There is no dearth of candidates in the district. Major Jewett, of Athens; Judge Louden, of Brown; Judge Walters, of Pickaway; Judge Newby, of Highland; Judge Clark, of Ross: and Judge Sibley, of Washington, also are iu the field.

The latter's candidacy has just been brought about by the bar of his county uniting iu a request for him to enter the race, to which lie responded as follows: view of the foregoing request, I allow my name to go but as a candidate for Circuit Judge. Until this action was volunteered and taken, my feeling was against it, and I would not havo entered tho fight. With grateful regards for the very generous, expressions of the request. HIRAM L. SIBLEY.

There are fifteen counties in the circuit, and the convention will be held in Chillicotho some time during the Tribune. Scioto county lias not been honored by a circuit judgeship. Why should not Judge Dover or some other good lawyer be nominated? We havo some good lawyers who would be an honor to tho district. failing, but it is getting to be exceed- ingly'treacherous. As to the juggling of statistics, Sherman is a success.

He says the imports of Avool under the Wilson tariff were valued at w.hile under the ISIcKialey tariff the imports reached a valuer of $6,299,934. If tlie senator wishes to convey the whole fact to the people and instruct instead of confuse them, why does he not go on and give the exports as well" as the Why does he not state that under the last year of the McKinley tariff, the exports of wool were only 91,858 pounds, while under" the first year of the Wilson tariff the exports were 520,217 pounds? Why does he not say that the decrease iin imports during the first year of the Wilson tariff was 117,289,280 pounds? was not his intention to enlighten the people, but to so distort facts and juggle figures that, no one would lie the wiser for reading. Sherman's statement in.the Forum is a first cousiu to the Republican platform of Ohio. As calamity howler and calamity producer, Sherman is a "howling success." Tho Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday had a complete record of the murders of Holmes, that not only shows him to bo one of the most hardened wretches the world has ever known, but shows him to bo as near a lunatic as a man can well bo and not be so found by the courts. His declaration that the crimes ho has committed are now causing his physical deformity, sounds more like a rehash of the hallucinations of a mad man than anything else, particularly sinco no one notices the deformities of which he speaks.

That his mind is to a great extent unbalanced now there is but little doubt, but this is no reason why he should not be shuffled off into eternity at tho end of a rope. Such men as Holmes are bettor dead than living. They are a menace to air people and a benefit to no one, and there is a grave doubt whether it is prudent or for the best interests of the people to publish such confessions ns that iu tho Enquirer yesterday. The citizens of the First ward will, no doubt, find that it would be greatly to their interest to have just such a man as Mike Stauton in the council, when such jobs as the opening of streets at tho expense of the city are being pushed through. The last job discussed at a meeting of tho street committee and voted down.

On account of sickness, tho chairman of this committee was absent and tho scheme was pushed through. If Mr. Stauton had been a member of that body, ho woul-1 havo been on duty to prevent such misappropriations of the peoples' money. Why should tho whole city' be taxed to open up or grade streets for tho benefit of private land owiiors? In all other oities such expenses are assessed back on the prop- ertybenefitted. If other parts of the city are to be thus beuefitted, why should not the city pave Market street? This vacant land has been doubled in value at the expense of tho city.

Such jobs should bo stopped. Wo would have thought that Matt. Wall's recent bank relations would have prevented ins adding this act of jobbery to his record, for the benefit of himself and friends. Sometime ago there was published in Tho Times a letter from a citizen relating to the action of Chief Williamson in a matter between him and his subordinates and the K. claiming that the chief had failed to turn over to the firemen of the East End engine house the money allowed by the N.

W. for tho assistance rendered by the East End department at fires that occurred on the N. W. road. At the request of the chief we made an investigation.

We saw the letters from tho railroad officials and held viows with the East End firemen, The railroad allowed them instead of and this amount was drawn by the chief and turned over to the men, and fifty cents of this amount was given by each to Mr. Barber for watching at the engine house during their absence. The chief and firemen claim there were two hose burster! which caused a loss of one or two feet when the proper connections were made. There were one or two pair? of rubber boots burned. As near as we could learn, these are the facts.

The Times desires to.treat, the chief fairly, and unless our informant can bring other evidence to support his statement, it looks very much as though he has been misinformed, or he has misrepresented the facts. Whatever may be the chief's short-conmiings, wo feel he is not guilty iu this instance. Our contemporaries will have the satisfaction of knowing that the chief has treated The Times iu a gentlemanly manner, and in this instance, as in all others, we have treated him accordingly by giving the facts as nearly as wo have been able tn secure them. HIS FAREWELL SERMON. The Second Presbyterian Church Crowded at Last Evening's Service--An Impressive Service.

1 Rev, David R. Francis preached his farewell sermon at the Second Presbyterian church last evening. The church crowded, eveiy seat being occupied and the aisles lined with chairs. The service in all its details was specially appropriate as a farewell, the music, theme, scripture lesson and sermon all referring to the fact. Mr.

Francis and wife sang two very pretty duetts. The sermon was prefaced by a few words of formal farewell to the congregation over which he has presided for eight months past. He gave them some advice as to obliterating factional lines and presenting to their next pastor a xinited, earnest working congregation. The sermon proper was one of the most eloquent and interesting delivered by the preacher, who is always eloquent, instructive and entertaining. Mr.

Francis has several calls under consideration but will remain here a few weeks before determining upon any definitely. Stylish Shoe Is the the finest" WITH A I Painter 'Tidy" Smith AaBaalted and Wounded Richard Kear Saturday Sight. Richard Kear, proprietor of the Stag Cafe, vi'as badly cut about the hand and wrist Saturday night by a drunken painter named "Tidy" Smith. Smith got on a tear Saturday night and half-past 10 o'clock landed in the'Stag, pretty vrcll loaded with -whisky and dead broke--so far as money is concerned. He wanted Mr.

Kear to trust him for a drink, and when he refused, began calling him vile names. Kear took hold of him and was waltzing him out of the saloon at a lively rate when Smith suddenly lunged at him with a knife which he had been carrying open in his pocket. The knife caught Mr. Kear on the hand near the thumb, cutting a big gash several inches long clear to the bone. Kear fired Smith out and notified Policeman Herrick.

The latter arrested Smith at the Lodge. He had some trouble in getting possession of the knife, Smith showing fight. Mr. Herrick was suffering from a sprained wrist but managed to land his man behind the bars. Smith waived examination iu Mayor's court this morning and was bound over to common pleas court in the sum of $800.

He failed to get bond and is still in jail.

It provides that all corporations doing business in Ohio, save and except banks, building and lonn and savings and loan associations and insurance companies, shall annually make a sworn statement to tho secretary of state. In this shall bo set forth" the name of tho company and the location of its principle office, tho names of the president, vice president ami secretary, with their mail addresses, the amount authorized capital stock and the number of shares into which it is divided; the amount of subscribed stock, the amount of paid up stock and the names and mail addresses of stockholders, the number of shares held by each. The folloWiug fees arc to be charged: For $10,000, So; between $10,000 $100,000, $10; between $100,000 and $300,000, $15; between $800,000 and $500,000, $-30; between $500,000, and $1,000,000, $25; and for all amounts over $1,000,000. $80, In order to administer this departmeiif. tho secretary of state is permitted toTiire two clerk's at $1,850 per annum.

The record thus established is to be a public one, open to inspection at any time during business hours. When the protectionist has his little talo of woe into your ea about tho Wilson bill mining the irou or other iuclusrtics in this country, jus hand him the following facts and as! him to study them Tho final tests ou 1, JOG tons of Penn sylvauia steel for Russian warships arc being made at the Indian Head proving station; 10,000 tons of Fenusylvanii rails arc being manufactured foi tho Japanese government, and a Lon don cablegram announces heavy pur chases of Alabama pig-iron for th English market. These events occur under a tarif which reduced tho McKinley rate 01 pig iron 40 per cent, and on steel rail? 41.0 per cent. They show conclusivol that the "Wilson bill rate of '-Hi per eoii against which the manufacturers made such a stubborn fight in the senate, was a great deal more protection thai they really had occasion for. Indeed it is evident that wbat they needed was not protection Imt enterprise.

They are showing under a lowei tariff not only that they can take away England's market in Japan and invade the "home market" of Russia, but can actually sell Alabama iron in the English market in competition with English manufacturers, after paying heavy freight, charges by rail and oceau. English ironmongers are already declaring this a threat of serious trouble, and they may soon be demanding protection against the "pauper labor" of Alabama and Pennsylvania. The control of the world's irou trade is within our grasp, and it is being demonstrated that, under low tariff, high taiiff or no tariff at all, success depends first and last ou intelligence and energy. American enterprise is the best protection for American industries. Here is Allen's definition of Democracy.

It is full of truth as an egg is of meat and is eloquent as truth always is: "Democracy is a sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or compromised. It knows no baseness: it cowers to no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Fearless, generous and humane, it rebukes the arrogant, cherishes honor aud sympathizes with the humble. It concedes nothing but what it demands. Destructive only of despotism, it is the solo conservator of liberty, labor and property.

It is the sentiment free- Just, why such men as Senator Sherman should to the level of a political momebank, by garbling statistics and falsifying reports (bar are of record, is more than the average man is able to understand. In the current number of the Forum, in speaking of the first year of the Wilson taritl 1 he says: "Notably during the same titms the importation of two articles a we can produce iu the United States! under the Wilson law were wool valued at and hides. Under the law wool valued at and hides valued at were imported. Importations of wool were increased under the Wilson law six-fold. It is no wonder that our sheep are being destroyed.

The importation of hides under tile present act increased rwo-and-one-half fold. The American farmer was thu? deprived of his home market," Anyone not familiar with the facts would naturally infer that the Wilson bill had placed hides along -with wool on, the free list, when, in fact, i hides were placed on the free list in S72 by a Republican congress of which i Sherman was a member, and for which bill be is said to have voted, aud under a Republican president. Judging by the book he recently wrote, no one would claim that Sherman's mind is Going With the C. O. Shirley V.
