The Columbus Journal emphatically
favors geological survey of the State.
1t saws:
With knoWledgeof the fact that the
mineral resources of this State have ne
yer been developed or properly explOr-
ed, and in view of the undeniable proofs
that the agricultural capabilities or
productive capacities of our soil are
diminishing year by year, it seems like
a reflection upon the intelligence of the
members of the General Assem- bly, to
assume that they need any urging to
take the speediest action in this matter.
Our soil is each year losing its original
richness and fertility, and It would seem
to be the commonest dictate of pru-
dence to open mp other fields OF employ
n1ent and develop other sources of
wealth for the people. Many counties
OF Ohlo abound In mineral wealth IN
which there has never yet been even
pretended exploration. The expenseof
geological survey is the mereSt trifie.
We trust that the press of Ohio viii
speak out in earnest tones on this I'M
portant subject.
The Journal is right. We believe
there is absolutely no way in which the
same amount of expenditure can be
made so productive Ia material benefit
as the necessary amount, judiciouslv
employed in making thorough geolo-
gical, agricultural and mineralog!caI
survey Of the State. Illinois, Missouri.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsyl-
vanta, and even Kentucky, are all far
ahead Of Ohio in this matter each of
these States having had a thorough geo
logical survey. If the General Assem-
bly, would confer lasting material
benefit upon the State, itshduld not fail
to make the appropriated necessary for
commencing the work the coming
summer. rs4 -t

The Lower House of the General As
sembly has passed a resolution to re-
build the late Central Lunatic Asylum
on the old foundations. The limestone
castings are so much disintegrated by
the fire, and the walls so badly cracked,
that it will be much cheaper, says a
competent architect, to take the walls
down and rebuild them than to patch
them up.
The proposition for removal looked
to the erection of new Asylum, with
modern improvements, on a farm adja-
cent to Columbus, and the conversion
Of the ruins of the old Central into an
Asylum for the Blind. There are many
grounds for the belief that this would
not only have been better for the insane,
but in the end cheaper for the State.

The necessity for an additional State
Prison has brought into prominencethe
question whether our prison system
ought not to be changed to a feforma-
tory basis. 1t is certainly a matter for
serious consideration whether the plan
for prison discipline which punishes
solely to avenge society and not with
tho object ofalso reforming the erimi-
nal is not IN itself false and vicious.
Reformatory prisons are already es-
tablished and are said to be in success
iul operation in Europe, and our Re-
form School for Boys is confessedly
successful in the highest degree. Many
refractory boys emerge from the school
wholly redeemed from the ways of
crime, and theneeforward lead virtuOus
and honorable lives; while ali expert
ence teaches that the convict who comes
from the State prison disgraced, humil-
lated, punished, is seldom made better
by the punitive process. IL II
The following petition to the Legisla-
ture, asking that the proposed new
Penitentiary be established upon the
Reform plan is now being circulated:
The undersigned, fully believing that
the punishment of criminals should al
ways be accompanied by humane eff
fort for their reformation, respectfully
ask that the Penitentiary system of the
State be so amended, enlarged and re
organized as to adequately provide fol
the proper classification and Treatment
of convicts, with respect to age, sex
character and probable reformation.

Prussia, the head of German

Austria found it necessary to

In 1868, Spain, Rome's last

Finally, in 1868, the Pope
summons an Ecumenical Coun-

are no longer any Catholic

THE DAILY NEWSPAPER

1t is very often the case that
people find fault with newspap7
ers, because their contents do
not in every instance and under
all circumstances come up to
their expectations. If there isan
error or a lack of variety in
the article; if reflections are
made, or the careers OF public
men too long dwelt upon, if
there happens to be more of
politics than literature; a let
ter turned or a word spelt
wrong, croakers at once set up
a howl and swear that those
who have the papers in charge
know nothing Of their business.
The Chicago Post touches the
matter pertinently in a recent
article. 1t says: aas54 = q
If we reflect upon the variety
or matter IN a newspaper, that
the work has to be done RAJ
pidly, and cannot in many
particulars have the delibera-

the comment thereon must be
made, the demands of the sit
