March IS, 1889
Both Houses OF The legislature adjourned q,
noon on Saturday. The Senate was principal.
occupied IN reading Two monslFoBs long bills
-oDe 20 incorporate the towns and cities 10 the
State, and the other in relation 20 Wills. The
witness lee bill passed.
IL may not be improper 10 remark that this
new Senate bill regulating Towns, Cities. &C.,
is Hev bill. 10 The House. some DAYS since.
Mr. DALE introduced bill for The same pur.
pose, Of so or 10 pagss. and over 100 sections.
Now bill in relation 60 the same subject. and
Of ubou, equal magnitude, is just introduced ia.
To the Senate. The unsoDhisIicaIed NAV. per.
haps. wonder at this. and inquire Why these i~o
bodies should each Of them have bill Of their
own. We really don't know, and don't know
Of ANYBODY that does know. Some persons
might suppose that il was because The Senate
was out Of business. aad did not like To wait iill
the House passed t@ bill before lhey bpgsn labor
there. But this cant b. true. Tor that eveTlast.
ing. eternal Printing bill is not yet disposed of.
OF course. ihev are not Om 0f work. ID would
be Inconsistent with the New Constitution for us
to hint that the prarues gives fat oDs To the
printer. leach bill costing about me hundred
dnllars.) though W. have heard this reason ad.
vanced We have M doubt. however. thai ME.
DAIRY would affirm most sIouIly. that the Demo.
cTai wh0 has hinIed this. has bsen caughIa AT least
r~ire. in steal Dg sherp p-and possibly. il might
all he true. But In return 10 tho Legislature.
10 the House. the bill to provide for publish.
ing the detailed s,sIemenI Of the State expendi
I1res in the county papers. was debated The en-.
tire forenoon. The bill provinces thai The AM
djiOr Of State shall seleci one English and one
German paper, where thew exist. ia each coun.
" uC the State. for The publication Of the anuu.
al exhibit. Now. the inquiry arose why restrcI
this to one paper. when. in almost every county.
there are iieO papers, and the design il. TO spread
this intelligence generally among III" people. -
Again, the whisper went round The House. in an
under current ~ true. but still went round i'll
it advisable IN put this Tremendous patronage 10
the hands Of The Auditor. by means Of which
he may reward friends and punish enemies
and by means thereof. do much To perpeluate
his own power position Il Is we'll enogh for
the people to inquiIe into this scheme, and see
how il will work a few years from now. even ifi
it works we'll al present. Il is a Ioerably bold
move.
We have nov embarked in the elSpenh week
OF the session. Some important business has
been done. but much more remains to be done |
We have the proceedings Of tremendous D..
mocratic mass meeting n Ashland county, on
the printing subject. The other meeting kicked
that bill through the House, and we are inclined
to think that this last brckhal will knock il ihro'
the Senate during lbe coming week. Then it
will 60 to The House again, with the Senate
amendments, where il will rest quietly for the
remainder Of the session. -Four days was long
enough time to put through a general Iaw pre-.
venting The Wings from districling Cincinnati.
Then there was supposed TO be little political
capital at stake. But, in this printing bill, The
boot is on The other leg, decidedly. The case
being altered, why, it alters the case. But a.
The printing - we beg pardon, the consu.u.
lion is in the hands Of its friends. We feel an
abiding assurance that all is safe Great cOun.
