LET EVERY MAN VOTE.

Before another i«sue of thw pajer reaches otir readers the township elections will have heen decided. We hope no man iu thte city will go hometohia sapper and hw evening paper next Monday without having first performed his duty as a citizen hy tasting his vote for townfthiD officers, As THE KKWS has before said, there is opportunity for di»crimination in the two tfcketo. There is Home choice in the jti#iioes and a very decided distinction between the two candidates for assessor. Of the two the selection is decidedly in favor of Loekman. He has the advantage of experience, having served several years as U'puty assessor, he owns property and would be interested in having as low an assessment as practicable, he is a man of character who could not be used as thi tool of designing politicians, he has the confidence and respect of those who have had business relations with him. O'Connell absolutely without reroinmendation for thi* jtoeition. It is a matter of universal surprise even umonit his own party that he should have received the nomination. He is entirely without business experience, his only emloyraent being that of janitor at the court hoose. He has not even a common school education and is unknown to the general public. That the politicians and ward workers should Haeriike such a man as Jordan and put O'Connell on the ticket ought to be suiildent proof to thinking men that they want an assessor wh can be manipulated to suit their purpose.

There is no desire to arouse partisan feeling. This is simply a matter of dollars anil cents, The assessor who is elected Monday will place the taxable value upon our fifteen million dollars worth of city property and the owners will have to pay taxes upon this assessment for six yearn* It is obvious that this matter should be iJ in the hands of a reliable and experienced man. you are not satisfied with the assessment placed upon your Iproperty it will involve a large amount of trouble and annoyance, to go before Uie Ijoartl of equalisation, have the matter invest ijjalod, secure a rebate of taxes, fce. The probabilities are that yon will simply pay your tuxes, if yon can wise the money, and bear the burden with the best grace possible. For this reason it is important that this assessment should be honestly and intellig^ntiv made. The question is not whether it shall IK* made by a llepuhlican or a Di'innerat but which of the two candidates, Lock man or O'Connell, is beat nualiiietl to make it.

Here il the fact which should le prised to every tax paying respectable ritiken: There $s a class voters who have not one particle »»f intereat in the township election. They own no pmjHrty* Tliey pay no taxes. *i,\lt does not make one iota of different to them who is elected. These men will alt be on baud next Mon-Ar,'Y--day. They are ivr sale to the highest ll bidder. Their votes can he secured for a H^drink or the promise of a job. Our tax pavers can e»ily out vote sin* element, p®:\ViU they do it? Or will they stay away the polls and permit the election to /-be carried by this disreputable class?

THE results of the election this week in Wisconsin should cause on the j»art of Americans the most serious consideration. Hie entire issue hinged upon what is known as the Ik nnet law which requires that children should be compelled to attend school from the age of seven to fourteen and should receive their education in the English tongue. It was the latter rather than the former clause which defeated it. Do the people understand the situation? A state which enjoys all the privileges offered by our enlightened government declaring by its suffrage that its children shall not be educated in English? There are more papers in Wisconsin published in foreign languages than in English. There are townships where the records are kept in a foreign language. In others all English instruction is banished from the public schools. And yet these people all are enfranchised and vote a ticket which they cannot read, at the dictation of party "bosses" whose interest it is to keep them in ignorance. And these children who are forbidden to learn the English language are to be our future citizens, clothed with all the privileges of citijsenship that are conferred upon the American born, and yet through their ignorance of the language always to be subject to the leadership of shrewd and unscrupulous politicians. Have our people any remedy to offer? __________________

A BILL has been introduced in Congress to Americanize the navy or in other words to prohibit the enlistment of aliens in the naval service. Just at the time of the McCalla court martial it seems most inopportune to attempt the passage of such a bill. While McCalla is the worst type of a naval commander and his men were subjected to more than the ordinary bardffhips there is nothing in naval life to recommend it to an ambitious, independent American, and it is not at all surprising that our navy is entirely made up of foreigners. A few years ago the system was adopted of taking boys under fourteen and training them for this service, hoping in this way to enlist the service of Americans. The bill referred to above will have no effect except to make the foreign applicants take out naturalisation iwpers. America offers too many opportunities for men of any character to waste their lives on hardship, subjected to the caprice of arrogant and despotic naval officers, too far from the courts to secure any redraw and in a situation where escape is impossible. There will have to be a reorganization of the entire system before we can man our ships with American citizens.

THK liquor license in Rome, Ga., has been fixed at one thousand dollars, the entire sum to be' paid in advance. Ten dealers paid the license yesterday and three went out of the business. From far and wide come the reports of the adoption of the high license system, many towns deriving the greater part of their revenues from this income. Indiana permits only the miserable pittance of $250 per annum and Terre Haute has been deprived of even this assistance in relieving the pressure of debt that rests so heavily upon the taxpayers. Are the people ready to put in a council that will impose this liquor license or shall we struggle along ftr the next year as we have in the past, increasing the tax levy to meet our expenses?

Tuts has been a cold week for Democratic merchants as far as county orders are concerned, while the Republican!* are in clover. The latter have received mom orders during the past ten days than during the whole two years of the present county administration, some of them as many as twenty or thirty, tor dry goods, boots, shoes, groceries, Ac. Ninety per cent of these orders have been brought in by stout, able bodied men who in several, instances have tried to discount them for cash. Cams are known where the goods received have been afterwards disposed of for money. Everything goes in politics and the past week has been a profitable one for alleged paupers with a vote at their disposal.

THS Republican city convention for 4'. nomination of conncHmen lias been t«u.ed for April 14th, one week from next Monday. This Is a wise move. Let as have both tickets in the field in time for our people to give them a careful confident! ion. "-f-

SCHEME FOR THE PRESERVATION OF RELICS OF EARLIER DAYS.

OHCHWATI, April 8.—Hie introduction in the United States senate some days ago hy Mr. Sherman at a bill calling for an appropriation for the preservation of certain old forts along the Maumee river, and for the erection of monuments on the sites of those already destroyed to maV« room for the spread of. the cities that have grown up around them, opens np an interesting chapter in the history of that part of the old northwest territory. The influence back of the bill is the Maumee Valley Monumental association, an organization with headquarters at Toledo, whose president is Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected to succeed the late Chief Justice Waite, who was president at the time of his death. The secretary is John C. Lee, of Toledo.

The vice presidents are Hon. R. 8. Robertson, Fort Wayne Hon. 8. H. Cately, Delta Hon. R. C. Lemmon, Toledo. R, B. Mitchell, Maumee, O., is treasurer. Qther officers are Hon. Thomas Dunlap, Toledo Daniel F. Cook, Maumee J, Austin Scott, Ann Arbor, Mich. Asher Cook, Perrysburg, O. Samuel M. Young, Toledo Reuben B. Mitchell, Maumee Joel Foot, Tontogany, O. F. P. Randall, Fort Wayne, and Foster R. Warren, Sylvania, O.

The association has been engaged for five years in efforts to secure possession of the most important historical points, such as forts and battle grounds in the Maumee valley, and to have them marked by suitable monuments. It has been decided that the following are worthy of commemoration: Fort Industry, the site of Toledo Fort Miami, near Maumee City Fort Defiance, at Defiance Fort Meigs, near Perrysburg Fort Wayne, at Fort Wayne, Ind. the battle field of Fallen Timbers, near Waterville, O., mid the old burial ground on Put-in-Bay island, in Lake Erie.

Of these Forts Industry, Miami, Defiance, Meigs and Wayne and the battle field of Fallen Timbers were strategic points or points of defense or offense in the victorious campaign of "Mad Anthony" Wayne against the Indians in 1794, and all figured conspicuously in the war of 1812. Their location is correctly indicated on the following map

MAP OF THE MADMEE VALLEY. After the defeat of (Jen. St. Clair, Nov. 4,1790, the Indians, inflamed by hatred and encouraged by successes, committed the most outrageous depredations and the grossest barbarities on the settlers. Unsuccessful campaigns against them only stimulated their carnage, and in 1798 Gen. Anthony Wayne was charged with abating it.

He was a cautious soldier, who waited for advantage and then made bold dashes for victory. His great "vigilance won him the name of "Black Snake" from the Indians, and the vigor of his fighting when he was assured of the advantage another of "Hurricane." For the same trait he had long been known as Mad Anthony. Gen. Wayne advanced from Fort Washington (Cincinnati), to Fori. Greenville (Greenville, Ohio), whence he sent a detachment to taks possession of the position lost by St Clair. This was accomplished wad a new fort built called Fort Recovery. Wayne then continued his advance against the village of the Miami tribe, and on Aug. 8,1794, readied the confluence of the Auglaize and the Miami of the Lakes (Maumee) rivers, where ho erected Fort Defiance, giving it a name appropriate to the conditions of its building and destined to perpetuity in the name of the present city on the site.

The traces of this fort are still well defined. It is situated in the angle of the Maumee and Auglaice rivers, and has been subjected W some injury by the erosion of the waters, which have washed away portions of the northern and eastern salients, and the point is slowly receding. It is proposed to mark the spot by a granite monument, with a suitable inscription, for which it is estimated $5,000 will be sufficient.

From Fort Defiance Geh. Wa_vhe, uhder instructions from Washington, offered the Indians peace. In a council erf Indians. little Turtle, a chief who is said to have been possessed of statesmanship that would have won him fame in diplomatic circles of European courts, advised peace. His '1* were overthrown hy the younger chiefs, who boasted of previous victories.

Turtle cautioned them again-t the new warrior thai the Father at Washington had sent against them, but they were obstinate and voted for war. Gen. Wayne advanced and pitched bis camp near Waterville. The next day (Aug. 90,17W) he gave battle to the Indians, who were intrenched behind some high threes that had been prostrated by a tornado, whence the naaiffof the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The Indians were overwhelmingly defeated, and 0N»u Wayne pursued them several miles, even usder the guos of the British Fort Miami.

Gen. Wayne passed by the fort of 30ami, then gazrieoned hy the British, and moved down the river to the mouth of Swan creek, where he constructed a ail* Bnxy fort, which, owing totheindiatey «jf ha amy ic itacoostroctiao, he nutted FottlJHtastry. litis Ge& WayM gan-isoned and It sat occupied for a notaber of years.

posed to mark the spot "by the erection of a granite monument with a suitable inscription. If the city will give the privilege for the uae of the street corner •for the purpose, it is estimated the monument can be put in position for $5,000.

Fort Miami, which was first established as a trading post in 1680, and occupied for military purposes subsequently by the British, and abandoned by than after the treaty of 1795, is the oldest of all these historical points. The northeastern angle of the work and a portion of each adjoining curtain, together

»FORT INDUSTRY.

with tW greater part of the demilune in advance of the northern front, are still in a fair state of preservation. The river front has been destroyed. The site is part of the plot of Maumee City, occupying about 5 68-100 acres. Part of it is orchard. It is estimated that the site can be purchased for $3,500, and that a$5 ,000 monument in granite will suffice to mark the location of the fort.

The area embraced by the battle of Fallen Timbers is about twelve and onethird acres, which it is proposed to purchase, at an estimated cost of $100 an acre, and to erect at a conspicuous point a granite monument, so as to bring the total cost within $5,000.

Upon the completion of Fort Industry Gen. Wayne led his army back up the river to the village of the Miamis, and there, on Oct. 22, a fort having been completed, fifteen rounds of cannon were fired and the fort named Fort Wayne. It was located on the highest land in the state of Indiana, and this has given the name of the "Summit City'" to the city now there. Wayne then returned to Greenville, where he represented the United States in the treaty negotiations in 1795.

A considerable portion of the site of the old fort belongs to the city of Fort Wayne, the remainder being now occupied by the New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad. Except the well no trace of the fort now exists, and the part of the site not occupied by the railroad or the city streets is reduced to a small triangle, which is inclosed by an iron fence. It is proposed to erect within this triangle a monument similar to those suggested for the other points of interest.

The other two points determined on for commemoration, Fort Meigs and the Put-in-Bay burial ground, belong to the period of the war of 1812, when the Maumee valley became again the theatre of military operations. The hero of this campaign was Gen. William H. Harrison, who in February, 1813, erected and established Fort Meigs, ten miles from Fort Industry. While the work was in progress an unsuccessful attack was made by Tecumseh and again in July following.

Gen. Harrison and Tecumseh had first met in arms at the battle of Fallen Timbers, and they met again here, each commanding. Tecumseh is described as "one of the most splendid specimens of his tribe, celebrated for their physical proportions and fine forms—tall, athletic and manly, dignified, graceful, the beau ideal of an Indian chief." The victory was with Gen. Harrison, and Tecumseh was killed during this war. The outlines and works of Fort Meigs are nearly all preserved, and no plow has been permitted to run over the graves of the dead. It is embraced in the farm of Michael ^nd Timothy Hayes, who for the twenty years of their ownership have hot permitted any desecration of the graves, of which there are several hundred, almost wholly unmarked. They contain the remains of those who were killed in the battle, who died during its occupation and those who were killed in the attack on the British batteries at Fort Miami, across the river.

The area of land necessary to include the fort and the graves is about fifty-five acres, valued at SI 00 an acre. The works themselves are in such a good state of preservation aa to constitute their own beat monument, and it is proposed only to purchase the land, erect one large monument in Fort Meigs, to cost $10,000, and

FORT WArm 1794.

three others at $5,000 each to mark the burial places, making a total of $80,500. Fort Meigs was named in honor of Gen. Meigs. but he

i*uggested

liilpi

as a name for

the village that in after years sprung up just east the name of Perrysburg, in commemoration of the hero of the naval victory on Lake Erie.

After this victory Commodore Perry buried his dead on the island of Put^Bay, now an important port on lAlt» Erie. The burial ground is about sixty feet from the shore of the lake, and In its center stands a willow tree, the whole inclosed by a chain fence, now in a fallen and dilapidated condition. It is included in an area conveyed hy J. Da Rivera to the corporation in trust for the public, to insure it against obliteration. It ft proposed to erect anew iron fence and a granite monument.
