PUBLIC PRINTING.

The Legislature is bound to provide
for the speedy publication of all statute
laws. Under theFconiract of the public
printer the condition of the acceptance of
his bid was to publish them within Sky
days after the adjournment of the Legis-
lature. The laws for several years have
not been published as early as they should
have been, and frequently their publica-
ton has been delayed until it was time,
according to the common system of Leg
islation IN the State, to repeal or alter
them. Serious injuries result from this
failure to publish and distribute the laws,
independent OF the general Inconvenience

ly located as to be wholly Unnecessarily to
the business public. 1t needs but little
sagacity to foresee that if such banking
is to be tolerated, or if the Legislature al
this session shall fail to provide strn-
gent remedies for the evil. that all Iegiti-
mate banking is ended for
the present, and wide spread financial
rum must soon overtake the people and
the State. Another fact in this connec-
ton is well deserving of your attention,
and the application Of proper Legislative
correction. The funds found in the
Treasury by the incumbent ned to
the sum of 1924 ,224 %, nearly all in
bank paper, except 50 ,457 Sc, which was
IN gold and silver coin, Notwithstanding
the law prohibits the receiving of any
funds but coin in payment of public dues
II is apparent that whatever specie might
reach the Treasury, commanding as il
does a large premium. might hold out
great temptation to the Treasurer to ex-
change 1t for currency. The effect of
exchanging bank paper by any bank at
the Treasury must work to the detrimenl
of all institutions no, similarly allowed the
privilege. In view of the many circum-
stances pointing to operations of this na-
lure, and the fact that they directly tend
to peril the public Interests and put in
jeopardy the funds of the State, recon
mend the passage of a law prohibiting.

was found at the residence of lie Roy Sunderland,
where she was raving maniac; on Sunday night
having assured the inmates of the house that the
world would come to an end at midnight and in

RAILROAD lNCIDENT.-COnductorW Woodall of
the Little Miami (Ohio) railroad noticed young
girl in his train going East, and came to collect her
fare. He observed that she had but four dollars
although she was going to New York as she said
He became interested in her, learned that she lived
in New York, but came West to work. and had been
taken sick. This story was told to candidly that
the conductor, who had watched the narrator close
y could not doubt its truth. ''If that is the case
| cannot take Your money" he said. eIndeed sir
it is true" "Then take your money back was
his answer, and he passed along.
Through with his collection, he related the cir
cumstance to a couple of gentlemen passengers and
proposed to head a subscription list if they would
go through the train and take up a collection for
the girl. The gentlemen readily agreed to this, and
in few minutes had the pleasure of handing to the
girl some seventeen dollars, enough to pay her way
to New York. She knew nothing of the movement
until she received the money, when her grateful
feelings gave vent in copious tears No one doubt
ed her honesty.
But Woodall was not satisfied. Before she left
the train he gave her memorandum setting forth
the route she should take, and a card which he re-
quested her to use instead of tickets On the card
was written the following:
"1o Ny Brother Conductors | have passed this
worthy young lady on my train to Columbus A
collection was taken up for her. and seventeen dol
lars placed in her hands by the passengers. For
Gods sake, don't take cent of it.
sWooDALL,
Conductor Little Miami r. R''
This no doubt enabled her to reach home safely.
