The Governor Of the State Of Ohio,
At salary Of 5000 per annum, lives
in a rented house, furnished at his
own expense. This is not a very ex-
trsvagant compensation for the high
est ohieer in the third great State in
the Union and unless the occupant
Of the ubernatorial chair has ample
nrivate resources to draw from, he is
constrained to live in a much palmer,
more economical ndrepubliean man
ner than do thousands Of his private
fellow citizens. Sympathizing with
The idea that the Governor Of Ohio
sbouId live In q style Of splendor
more in consonanee with the wealth
snd pretsnsions Of the State, a bill
was introduced into the Legislature
toauthorize the purchase Of land con-
tiguous to the capital city, and have
erected thereon a Governors Man
sion. The proposition was especially
pleasing to the people Of Columbus,
who, however much they may differ
on some other questions, are always
an unit for the State building nice
edifces and making grand improve
ments, adjoining and identifying the
city. There were too many members,
however, from the other sections Of
the State, who couldn't see it in that
light, and 50 when the tug Of war
came. the Governors Mansion bill
was defeated by a vote of two to one.
The fact is that the measure would,
no doubt, involve the expenditure Of
100000, and the taxpayers would, of
course, have to foot the bill. The bill
to increase the salaries Of the Supreme
Judges Of the State from 5000 to
$4,000, which had passed the Senate,
was defeated in the House. When
ever competent men can not be had
to take the Office, at the present salary,
the arguement for an increase will be
unanswerable.
THE MILK QUESTION.
Many Of our readers are interested
in the dairy business and in the man
sgement Of cheese factories, &c. A
bill has been introduced into the
House to amend the present law
enacted to prevent and punish the
a~dulteration Of milk and cheese
The amendments proposed are EN-
braced in Barenthesis marks, in the
COPY Of the bill which we append, as
follows:

suggestions whereby the above bill
might be improved, I shall be pleased
to hear from them Immediately.
