Governors Message.

The annual message of Governor
Allen to the Ohio Legislature is short.
The Governors inaugural was we'll
received. This will be also. There
is nothing in it to find fault with Not
one word of politics from beginning
to end; no reference to the late cleo
tions not an allusion to the currency
question, or the third term. There is
a slight allusion to hard times, but the
remedies afoat are not referred to-
In fact, no one could tell, from the
message, anything about the political
opinions of the Governor. He makes
some recommendations, which are on
the safe side, and relate wholly to
matters upon which the Legislature
will be called to act. He is in favor sf
economy, low taxes, and the payment
of honest debts, and against the APP
preparation of the sinking and school
funds for any other purpose than that
for which the money was collected. -
The message contains very interest
ing statement of public debts, State
and municipal, which shows that Ohio
is not largely in debt. Indeed, the city
Of Chicago owes nearly as much as
all the cities and towns in Ohio. The
State debt is S7,968,2O5 80, and stead
ly declining. This speaks well for Re
publican management. The Governor
endorses it, by advising a continuance
of the policy Gin. Gaz.

HUNTINGTON, W. VA, December 1.
About seventy employees OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad assem-
bled at the depot this morning, pre-
venting AL passenger and freight
trains from leaving. Engines with
the United States mail car bill be al
lowed to go. The handling of freights
from the wharf boat to the depot was
stopped. Officials of the company en-
deavored to compromise by promising
to pay the money to morrow, but the
men said all promises in the past had
been disregarded, and they had no
guarantee of promises made for the
future, and emphatieally refused to al
low any work or trains to proceed till
their claims were settled in full. The
amount required to liquidate the claim
of the strikers is about sixteen thou
sand dollars, which the officials expect
to raise here and in Charleston, West
Virginia. The strikers are orderly,
all voting to remain away from the
saloons pending the strike.

The decision of the Supreme
Court to the effect that the Indian
tribes do not own the fee of the lands
within their respective reservations,
and are only tenants of the United
States, to which the fee belongs, prac-
tically deprives the Indians of all prop
erty rights, at least in their tribal ca
pacity. At least this is It's sense, if
the abstract of it telegraphed is cor
rect. The decision is one of very great
importance, and especially to the In
dians. If the United States owns the
fee and can not convey it to the tribes
it is evident they can he removed from
the reserved lands whenever it is the
pleasure of the Government. The
time was when the Indian right own
ership was fully recognized, and when
lands were wanted they were
purchased, but the relation Of the
United States and the Indians
have changed. and now the last YES
tige of their right is swept away Gin

A General Aversion.

Unfortunately, Americans are annually
becoming more and more averse to manual
labor, and foolishly educate their boys for
the professions, which are already overstock-
ed, or for the mercantile business, in which
statistics show that ninety-five in a hundred
fail of success. To get living by ones
wits, even ut the cost of Independence and
seIErespect, and a fearful wear and tear of
conscience, is the ambition of large pro-
portion of our young men. The result is
that the mechanical professions are becoming
a monopoly of foreigners, and the owner
ship of the finest farms, even in New Eng
land rs passing from Americans to Irishmen
and Germans. Fifty years ago q father was
not ashamed to put his children to the plow
or to a mechanical trade but now they are
''too feeble" for bodily labor; one has 4
pain in his side, another slight cough,
another "a very delicate constitution, -
another IS nervous; and so the poor victims
Of mistaken Judgment are sent TO the city, to
stand behind a counter, or wear away life in
q law office. 1t seems never to occur to their
foolish parents that moderate manual labor
in the pure and bFacing air of the country
Is just what these puny, wasp-waisted lads
need, and that to send them to the crowded
and unhealthy city is to send them to their
graves. Let them follow the plow, swing
the sledge, or shove the foreplane, and their
pinched chests will be expanded, their sunk
en- cheeks pumped out, and their lungs,
now ''cabined, cribbed, and confined, . will
have room to play. Their nerves will be
invigorated with their muscles; and when
they shall have cast off their jackets, instead
of being thin, pale, vapid coxcombs, they
shall have spread out to the size and confgu-
ration of mon. y lawyers Office, counting
room, or grocery is about the last place to
which sickly youth should be sent. The
ruin Of health is as sure there as in the
mines OF England.

Fowl Sympathy.

IhcTc Is an authentic story Of a large aocIl
OF swallows that rcyengcd a wrong com
mltt"d on tF" Of their number. A pair Of
wrenS had driven cut these two swallows
ir"m nest, and usurpcd possession. The
injured ones twittered their complaints 70
associates, and after short conference the
whole company began to take up mud in
their bills from the street and continued to
work until they had piastered up the en-
trance to the nest, and buried the guilty
WrenS in living tomb. This curious Incl
dent showed power Of talking-in swaI-
low Ianguage-and power of sympatbv
and ofplanning to work together.
A case of sympathy without the taIkinp
and planning happened recently in Newton
Mass. Some pet hens and pigeons are fed
together daily, and have become good friepds
and well acquainted. One day a cat snrang
from blace Of ambush on the pioeone or5
seized one in its claws. The pigeon strug-
Sied hard to escape, and tapped its wings in
terror, but in vain. Its doom was sure IF
unhelped. Help came from an unexpectad
source. The hens looked on in surprise Of
the suddenness of the attack, but at length,
as Ii comprehending the situation. two
ROSTERS and three or four hens rushed at the
cat, and by vigorous pecking compelled it to
give up the prey and take to its heels in self
defense. Before a spectator, who saw the
whole scene could reach the spot, the pigeon
was tree and had flown to his house.

The Oldest voter in America.

The following extraordinary statement is
given in the Bloomington, Ind, corrcSpon-
dent of the Louisville Comier-JournaI.
where it appears just as here printed =
Having noticcd in several journals arti-
clcs claiming for their various localities the
honor Of having in their midst the Oldest
voter, L concluded to put in the claims Of
Monroe county, Indiana. Living near
Bloomington is our venerable old friend.
William Ross, who, according to his own
account and family record, was born at
GuiIiord Court House, North Carolina. Nav
Il, 1888, consequently he Is one hundred
and fifteen (Il5} years old the 18th of last
May. Father Ross is in splendid health,
visits Bloomington frequently during the
pleasant weather Of summer, kills squirrels
with his rifle, chops wood, works his own
garden, and occasionally follows the plow.
and says he feels just as young as he did
half century ago. Father Ross saws he
was not in the Revolution war, but was an
eye witness of the battle of Guilford Court
House, North Carolina, and makes no
claim 70 having been a member of the
military family Of General Washington. or
OF even having ever seen the General. He
has voted for nincty-four years, but does
not remember how many votes he has cast
within that time, but must have been well
on two hundred times, and has invariably
voted the regular old Democratic ticket,
and never has failed to pay his takes. He
Is certainly the oldest man in the United
States, if not in the world, and his longevity
lS, we think, something surprising.
