Gov. wood,s Inaugufal.

The Inaugural message of Governor Wood,
is document of which the democratic party
may we'll feel proud. 1t is manly, straight
forward, learned, dignified, candid and truth
full. His warmest political opponents will
be able to find few passages in it which they
can object. 1t came too late for publication
in this weeks paper, and its length may, per-
haps prevent us from Publishing it..entire.
In consideration of the fact that the con-
stitutional convention is now in session, and
that new constitution will, before another
session be voted upon, and probably adopted
he recommends short session of the present
legislature.
On the subject Of banks, he takes the just
and incontrovertible position, that property
being the basis of taxation, all property
should bear an equal share Of the burden
We understand him 10 doubt whether any
Legislature has the right to exempt any par
ticular species of property from its,due share
Of this burden, and consequently that banks
should be taxed as other property is. This is
a doctrine that must eventually prevail, for
tits founded on the immutable principles Of
Justice. f
He upholds the constitutionality Of the
Fugitive law and advocates strict obedience
to its provisions, although he does not con-
slider itexpedient. it On this subject he is very
full and clear.
Deprecating anything like violence or re-
sistance to this law, he closes with these
words:
"The flag of the union must be carried
down to future generations, unsullied and
untorn; and, if not, in Gods mercy, let Ohio
defend it, till the last act has sealed its misera-
BILE DOOM"

Another Victim OF Intenlperanoe

Thomas Grinnum, of Talbot Comfy, Nd,
was convicted last week for the willful and
deliberate murder of an associate. He had
been under the influence of liquor for several
days. In 1pronouncing the sentence, Judge
Hopper said, "Had you always been sober
man, in all probability you would have esca-
ped the untimely death which awaits you,
for it is notable fact that ninetecn t,oenticths
of the murders and other homicides in our
State are traceable to the use of intoxicating
drinks" Truly it is time that the strong arm
of the law should take hold of this subject in
earnest. We are in favor of the largest lib
erty, but no man has right to use his liber-
ty to the injury of Others, and when almost
all the judges Of the land give il as their ex-
perience that strong drink engenders nearly
all the crime existing among us, is it not time
that something effectual was done7 We look
with anxiety and hope to the effect of the
late total prohibition law in Vermont. Such
laws may be the only and last resort.

Thc Cotton ON Trade.

From an article in Hunts Magazine. for
December we gather the following facts:
1.-THE United Statesis now not only the
PfFgest producer, but the largest consumer
gpf cotton; our production has advanced with
isuch rapid strides that we have distanced
psll competitors; the cotton goods worn by
our people exceed now the amount used by
Great Britain and all her dependencies in
the four quarters ofthe globe and the de-
smandsof our manufactures have increased
with much greater rapidity than those of
any country in the world.n 94
4 In twenty years our average crop has in
creased from $4,000 bales to 1881 900 or
nearly 300 fold. In the same time ;he pro-
duction of other countries has only risen
from $4,000 to 100000 bales. In the first
period Of five years from 1925, the crop Of
the United States constituted 68 per cent
of the whole; in the second, "a in the
third, n in the fourth, go /; and in the fifth
IA per cent Of the whole cropin the world
And even more than this, our bags have in
creased in weight over those Of other coun-
tries. X .sr ..tr e,a, + a1.e,{ .5.6
In the same period Of 25.' years. the con-
sumption of our own manufactures has in
creased 325 per cent, while that of Great
Britain has increased only l25 per cent
AT present our consumption is 81 per cent
-ofthe English. l9si
y France, during all this period has remained
nearly stationary In the last five years
she has gonetbackward. In Spain, Belgium,
Holland, Germany and Russia, the increase
has been nearly as rapid as in the United
States.
1.-The high price Of the raw materal for the
last two or three years has caused diminu-
tion in the demand for manufactures in our
country, but his state of things cannot long
remain. Production viii. soon reach, the
demand and restore the equilibrium.

Misers ana Miserv. u

If some competent person would make
collection of the biographies of illustrious
misers, it would form volume of rare inter-
subjects for such work have recently become
notorious. Werefer to McDonough, of Leu
isiana, and Strawn, of illinois. Another
case, scarcely less remarkable than either of
these, has recently attracted the attention of
the people of Ohio. An old beggar woman,
by the name of Elizabeth Morelock lately
died in the city of Cincinnati as every BODY
supposed, in state of extreme destitution.
On the night Of her death, lighted candle
was placed upon a stand beside her bed, her
idiot daughter, a frightful hunchback, being
the only attendant-though part of the
time the physician was present. The old
woman opened her eyes, and perceiving the
burning candle, ordered it to be blown out,
saying that she could not afford it. When
she was taken sick she ordered the chest, which
was, after death, found to contain nearly four
thousand dollars in gold, to be placed near
her bed, and she kept it within reach Of her
arms dnring the whole of her sickness
When the death struggle came on, and she
was told she must die, she flung herself upon
the chest, and clawed at it, in phrenzy of
avarice, until she tore the very nails from her
fingers; and while thus embracing her treas
ure, her spirit took its flight. An old stove,
in the room, was found, after her death, to
contain considerable amount of silver and
copper coin, carefully slowed away. The
money and effects have been placed in the
hands of an executor, appointed by the court
In 1910, when small change was scarce, this
woman made handsome speculation, by
selling the small coins accumulated by the
beggary of herself and her idiot daughter
The latter was generally fogged upon her
return at night, when she did not make a
good days work, and always whipped before
she was sent out in the morning. The cries
of the poor creature, while under the lash OF
her avaricious mother, have frequently excl
ted the INDICATION of the neighborhood. The
lpoor idiot herself, was afterwards attacked
by the cholera, and is snow, probably, number
ed with the dead.
