COmptrollcr's Report.

Comptroller Blackburn sent q lengthy
report to the Legislature on the 9TH In
regard to the financial condition of the
State. The figures arc enormous. We
haven't time to 90 through them now,
and content ourself with the following
closing remarks '-e----,-'
With regard to the taxpayers and
present tax collectors of the State, il
affords me much pleasure to state to the
Legislature that the manner in which
they discharge their respective duties to
the State, does, in very deed, "givc
token of better day tomorrow" If
there arc faults and failings in the land,
(and there arc many and gi'icvous ones
they cannot be laid at the door of the
parties above alluded to- The same is
true of the Clerks of the Courts with
regard to the collection of the State rev.
cnue and the prompt payment of the
same into the State Treasury. The vast
amount of money paid by the tax-pay-
crs and collected by the Revenue Col
lcctors, and promptly paid in the Trca-
sury, gives evidence ofrcsources on the
part of the State, and patriotism and
public spirit on the part of the tax pay
crs, and efficiency and faithfulness on
the part of the Rcvcnuc Collectors, that
fully justities the conclusion that the
State, as it is, possesses the ability to
maintain its credit at home and abroad,
if all classes of officials into whose
hands the State has committed impor-
tant trusts. would faithfully look after
and defend the States interests. This,
however, is not done; and this fact is
all, financially. about which there need
be any complaint. So long as the State
Treasury is suffered to remain a prey to
the rapacity of those manufacturing es-
Establishments of "claims against the
State" which has heretofore so con-
stantly and numerically preyed upon
it. so long will the financial situation. to
some extent, languish. Hence the vital
necessity of Il change of policy, radical
or partial. in relation to the cost Of
Estate prosecutions" If this can be
done, and some Improvement can be
made in the assessment of the taxable
property of the State, and the State
debt is not only not increased, but di-
minished by the sale of some of our
bonds, Then pronounce the State safe
-SdlllIS CIilN " pun va INitNs
prosperity and honor. Otherwise, pro-
badly otherwise. ... ......
The report from which the above is
extracted. shows that 1,5S5,0S3 acres of
land were listed in 1868, more than were
in 1867, and that the aggregate value of
other property" is less in 1865 than in
1867 by $32, $4,000, and that the aggre-
gate value Of the real estate and per-
sonal property for the year 1868 is less
than in 1867 by 1891, 1885; also, that
more polls were listed in 1868 than in
1861 by 9,l30, and also that the State and
school tax for lS6S-in the aggregate
only exceeds that for 1867, $150,991 .OS,
Notwithstanding the fact that the tax
was higher Oh property by Is cents to
the 800 worth.

The Ideal,

Wendell Phillips talks sense some
times. For example, when he says:
."Thc South creates an ideal Yankee /;
he does not exist; he never did exist.
The North creates an ideal Southeiner;
he never existed. The United States
lavishes thousands of millions of dol
lars in an endeavor to deal with an ideal
Indian; he never existed" 1893"

The Dem ocrats are making very general
and earnest effort to extend the circulation
of Democratic newspapers, and especially Of
county papers in their several localities.
To encourage this enterprise. and to aid in
the dissemination of correct doctrines, we
have determined to reduce our rates of sub
scription TO the lowest possible point consis
tent with the price of paper to us.
Twenty-Five dollars and fifty cents will pro-
cure fifteen copies of the SPIRIT for the full
term of one year, with an extra copy to the
person who sends us that number of names.
There ought not to be township where it
would be difficult to raise that small sum
among SO many subscribers. r.
1t is conceded that the SPIRIT is one of the
best representatives of Democratic princi-
Piles in Eastern Ohio, while at the same time
it gives very large quantity Of family and
miscellaneous reading, together with the i'm.
portant local news of Monroe County, and
full reliable market reports will be given
each week.
We shall earnestly oppose the unjust sys-
tenn, inaugurated by the Radical party, Of
taxing the laboring man to make the rich
man richer The laboring man takes green
backs for his produce while the bondholder
spurns them as rags" and demands gold
for his bonds. This is unjust; If greenbacks
are good enough for poor men who pay taxes,
they are good enough for the bondholde,s
who pay no taxes, and they will be compelled
to take them (and pay their Just proportion
of taxation,) in exchange for their bonds, or
nothing. just as they may elect.
In conolusion,we ask the old friends Of our
paper to make an effort to increase our cir
culation on the basis of these terms. There
is no paper in the country whoss terms are
more liberal than those which we now offer
to the patrons of the SPIRIT, The new rates
are for
Single copies, one year. ........$2 90
Single copies, six months ........ 90
Clubs of ten, each. h............... ! rs
with an extra copy to the club
agent.
Clubs CT fifteen and over, each -. SO

John G., son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. English,

Death has again entered the family circle and
taken away beloved son and brother. In the

sisters, to be numbered with the silent dead
But God knoweth best; he calleth the young as
well as the old, and though the family circle may
be broken here, we trust it will be reunited in
tho family above.
Sleep, loved one, sleep; thy sorrows are Ger;
Sleep in the silent tomb;
Thy gentle voice we shall hear no more,
For Jesus called thee home.
The spring will come, the flowers will bloom,
The flowers you used to love;
But with them you will not return
To dwell here on this earth.
Then sleep, Clark, sleep, no more to wake,
Nor with US here TO dwell;
Put still thy mamoryls dear to US,
Farewell, dear Clark, farewell LDiE.
