THE DAILY APPEAL

A SCARCITY OF WAsHoEs is noticeabl,
hereabout. just now. They, as we learn from
crippled one of their tribe, have gone where
Horace Greeley wants to goa fishing MOI
Washoes. In the first place they never soil
any of our beautiful springs of water by
cathing in them-never soil any river or
lake, even, We reckon, in that way-never
wear any but cast off clothes, and will wear
them, patiently, all day long in the broiling
sun the men wearing three or four shirts
and as many coats, vests, pants and hats,
Zone above the other, these latter, and then,
when the shades of night fall, they will care
fully divest themselves of all these garments,
superfuous and all, and lie down, under
the broad canopy of Heaven, with the stars
for a coverid and the sand for mattrass and
sleep the sweet sleep ofinnocence, like Stark.
naked. Now it must necessarily be sinless
people that will do such things as these.
Now they have gone for "pish." The
Washoe is not noble red man. When
ment agents, before the advent among them
of Governor Nye (who never did sell them
hoop skirts and gun fints) they were all too
amiable to attempt war. They never were
heard to address, with complaining lips,
the powers that be- as did the petulant
Pawnee. who, having been treated TO fire
water and "a little game" was about to
return, minus his annuity, to the bosom Of
his vir,urus squaw, and who thus spake to
the reLa f-e=; when return to my home in
the sunbeam, and once more embrace my
family, aud tell my brethren that l have
been.to visit the agent of the Great Father at
Washington, they will tell me l lie. Per-
chance they will seek my scalp They will
say, Where is the new hickory
shirt and the old sojer's coat
that you said you would brig back - No
such s;ilted nonsense as this from your reg
ular Washoe. He takes his biscuit, for
which he oft times trades mis- nuts, with
ner of his joys and sorrows all that he does
not want himself. He saws wood and steals
from no man. In this he illustrates the
fact that a man may be a gambler and not
thief-for the nude warriors that sometimes
meet our gaze are they who have been so
unlucky as 10 part with their raiment in I'M
lucky gaming. And this interesting man
and brother, this original and aboriginal
" Native American" this almost absolute
Know Nothing" whom we shall probably
never have the pleasure Of voting with, has
taken his spear and lis maui and wandered
away in quest Of "pish." Good luck to
him.

In his power to facilitate the movement
Mr. Andrews having been called for, made
short speech. lie alluded to the fact that his
interest In the Niles and New Lisbon road had
given rise to the opinion that he was not, ut
present. warmly in support of Youngstown
interests and projects. 1t was, however, the
case that he was largely interested in coal land
in Vienna, wlrich this road would develope.
He would be glad TO sec another line built,
and thought the projects in many respects,
would secure superior advantages over the
Cleveland and Mahoning road.
Mr.. Moore said that he thought the project
must address itself to the favor of every one
present He had some knowledge of the char
acter of the country between Youngstown and
Bristol, and would state that he thought line
could be made to secure freights and be con-
structed very cheaply. He stated his opinion
that this line would be able to bring ore from
Ashtabula at dollar ton, and the cost of
handling and dockage at Ashtabula would be
far less than it is now at Cleveland. With ref
erence to the coal carrying trade, there is at
least twenty-five miles in favor of the new pro-
ject as compared with the Cleveland and Ma
honing Railroad. This will be an immense
difference on coal train, 6 will shortly tell on
our prosperity. BY laying the route from the
Lawrence depot up Crab Creek, thence across
the Leslie farm, from where they are taking
out three hundred tons of coal daily, and from
there by the center of Vienna to Bristol a very
good route could be secured. The right of
way would cost little or nothing, the grades
would be almost imperceptble, and there
would be hardly five feet of cutting on any
part of the line. Mr.. Moore urged, in conclu.
sion, prompt actien on the subject of a prelimi-
nary survey.
Mr.. Fitch, of Ashtabula, in addition to many
general remarks, spoke of the fact that mer-
chant iron was delivered in Cleveland from
Sharon at ten cents pound, while from
Youngstown it costs thirteen. This difference
is simply because there is q competition at
Sharon, and none here.
After other remarks from Mr.. Powers, Mr.
Fassett, and other gentlemen, it was moved by
Mr.. VIM. Powers that committee be appoint
ed to raise funds and have preliminary sur
vey, made of the line between this point and
Bristol Carried The committee was then
appointed being Messrs. VIM. Powers, Richard
Brown and Robert McCurdy.
In accordance with suggestion of Mr.. Fitch,
the Committee was instructed to allow all
those who contributed to the preliminary sur-
vey, the amount of their contributions in the
stock Of the road

nine hundred and nincty-one dollars and
eighty-two cents, FIVE times as much as
has been expended in the Same way
during the last ten years. They were
composed mainly Of favorite sons OF
the Democratic party, with sufficient Re
publicans to give them character and
respectability.
Several very large items of expense
are rot in any of the foregoing state
monts. The cost of lights, fuel, paper,
printing, binding, distributing laws,
documents, &c, properly belong to ex-
penses personal to the General Assembly.
With the longest sessions ever known,
the bills for fuel and lights must be
largely increased, with the largest vol
umss of general laws ever issued, the
expenses Of stationery, printing and bind
ing will not be small 4; to these must be
added an extraordinary number of

Facts for Tax-Payers- Wastefulness

The Fifty-eighth General Assembly,
after an unexampled labor of 1874 DAYS
in 1903, brought forth volume of 387
couchment in 1868 resulted in n,isear-
riage, and no increase in our interesting
family of statutes resulted but another
protracted labor of 1876 days duration in
1869 produced the largest increase ever
made in one session-no less than 400
pages, and weighing something like
eighty pounds, avoirdupois, in manu-
script. The united product of the three
sessions of this General Assembly is
Tins seen to be 797 pages OF Democratic
legislation added TO the statute book.
Even good and necessary legislation is
apt to be expensive to the people. It
costs something for the expenses of an
economical legislature--its per diem, the
pay Of its numerous hangers on, its fuel,
lights, stationery, printing, binbing, dis
tributing laws and documents, and so
forth. Every additional day adds to all
these expenses; every additional law
makes more work for all hands and more
pay for everybody. And every change
on the statute hooks makes a harvest for
the lawyers. The FiHy-eighth General
Assembly deserves the name OF Me la,o-
gers friend. 1t has done more to give
employment to lawyers than any other
legislature ever assembled in Ohio
Now, if even the indispensable legisla-
tion of an economical general assembly
is expensive to the people, what shall be
said of this general assembly, that sat
longer, at higher per diem, and made

These amounts are simple gratuities to
needy hangers-on of the party.
Not to be partial, all the messenger

For the purpose of still further in
creasing the allowances to the clerks,

the Legislature conceived tho happy ex-
pedient of voting mileage to each OF
these employers for the three days
session Of 1903! There is no constitu-
tional warrant for such an appropriation;
but was not the constitution in the hands
of its friends?
But this is not all There were legis-
lative committees traversing the State in
every direction, some with clerks, some
with sergeants-at-arms, on all sorts OF
business, junketing and ieasting at the
expense Of different towns visited by

Meeting Of Citizens-7he Project EEptained--
Speeches Wdde--A Preliminary Surrey.


On Wednesday evening the 11th inst, a
meeting of the citizens of youngstown, and a
committee from Ashtabula, was held in Arms
Hall, to consider the project of the Ashtabula.
Youngstown & Pittsburg Railway. The meet
ing was organized by the election of Henry
Hubbard, Esq, of .Ashtabula rs chairman, with
]. F. Hudson and ]. II. Odell, Secretaries.
Mr.. Hubbard, by request, explained the OBJ
ject of the meeting and the characteristics of
the project. He first stated that for long time
the people of Ashtabula had been de3irous of
obtaining a connection Of the coal o. this re-
gon. For this purpose, the Ashtabula & New
Lisbon Railway Company was organized,
which in 1860 was obliged to suspend opera
tions. In 1864, the southern portion of that
line from Niles to New Lisbon was leased, and
under transfer of that lease, the Niles s. New
Lisbon road was recently completed. The
northern portion of the original line still re-
mains unimproved, with nearly all of the
track graeed to the amount of thirty-six miles
and at cost of $l50,000. 1t was now desired
to complete this road to Bristol, thence build
a road through Vienna and Liberty to the de-
pot of the Pennsylvania Central at Youngs-
town, there to connect with that road for Pitts
burg. 1t is well to consider the character of
the proposed route, as upon the grades and
descents the efficiency of the road greatly de-
ponds. Most of the plans and profies of the
company were unfortunately burned some
time since, and for this reason authentic fig
ures and statements cannot be fully made. We
have the following report of the grades on the
line going north from Warren to the lake
