AlfonsO,s Policy.

Alfonso XII, the boy-king Of Spain, eyi-
IDENTIFY believes he can establish his power
with money He has raised the salaries Of
the clergy. No doubt the young mans ad-
visers believe that this will net powerfully
in solidifying the monarchy. 1t would
certainly not be crcditable to the Spanish
clergy iftheir influence could be bought with
gold. But Alfonso has made the expert
ment. To suppose that religious motives
prompted the action would be absurd. The
king is surrounded by men who have no
respect for religion of any kind. Their
lives suggest Byron'S lines:
Well. well the world must turn upon It's axis,
And all mtnkind turn with H. heads or tail,
And live and die, make love. and paw Out tag ,,
An, The Veeri1g wind shifts, shin oWrsails.

"Ths farmers store, a cooperative trading ss-
bblishment, At Ann Arbor, Michigan, is re
ported as having suspended last week. II had
heretofore been considered srund. The labiii.
ties are placed at $4,000, with assets Of about
9l,lS5. The stockholders are said IN be sub
stsntsl men. sDd the claims will, Il " said, be
ultimately liqudatsd."
We clip the above from the Patron Of
Husbandry, a Grange paper printed at
Findlay. Before our farmers take stock in.
any cooperative movement Of any kind, il
would be we'll for them 10 consider all the
bearings in the case. They should first re-
member that not more than one in every
ten, Of the dry goods stores started succeed
and that the came relative ratio holds good
with Family Grocery Stores. Secondly,
that every stock holder is liable for dodble
the amount Of stock he may take in con-
Germs Of that kind. Thirdly, thatno differ
cnce how honest the man may be, who
takes charge Of the management when he
enters upon his duties, having the tempta-
ton thrown in his way, he may prove to
be dishonest; and II not dishonest, being
| inexperienced, he may by Encouragement
irretrievably swamp and break down the
enterprise.
We do not make these remarks to in any
way discourage any cooperative movement
that may have been well considered, and
which is in the hands OF perfectly compc-
tent and honorable men. In such hands, y
store or grocery on this plan may succeed,
and prove of some advantage to the farm
ing community, but we are free to confess
that we believe in the old Odage Of "every
man to his business" and that it is az inn
| possible for farmer to make n successful
merchant, as IL is for the merchant to make
successful farmer, without first learning
by experience the respective callings As
for ourself, we should aE soon put our
money in the bottom of Lake Erie, as to
put it in any cooperative store, so far as
expecting to ever realize anything from the
| investment
We make these remarks the more freely
from the fact that we were raised farmer
and that we also have had two or three
years dear experience in Dry Goods Store
OF our own.-Ndpolion Sgnal.
Having had similar experience, with thu
exception that we lost five months time
and $500 in a single attempt to start stor'

THE ENABLING ACT PASSED.
"a FOR AND SO AGAINST.

The following dispatch on Wednesday
afternoon from A. Roach, ESQ., from CO.
lumbus, 70 Mayor RuEISFRASK, explains
itself:
ave have met the enemy and they are
ours, by 6fty-four votes"
The Associated Press dispatches OF the
same evening gives the following version
of the action on the bill
Mr.. Tressler's Senate bill, providing for
the removal Of the county seat OF Wood
county from Bowling Green 10 Perrysburg,
was passed-yeas, So; nays, S3.
Mr.. Gordon offered the following resolu-
tion:
WHEREAs, 1t has been asserted that
money has been used, and that members
have been paid for their votes on the ques-
Iion Of the removal of the county seat Of
Wood county from Bowling Green to Per-
rysburg, therefore,
Resolved That committee Of three,
with power to send for persons and papers,
be appointed 10 investigate the subject and
report to the House." Adopted.
Measrs. Gordon, Conkling and Holloway
were appointed such committee.
The Speaker Of the House was known to be
in favor Of the bill, but did not vote, which
causes the discrepancy Of one vote in the
dispatches.
This action of the Legislature is but sim
pie act Of justice, which should have been
granted year ago, without keeping lobby
members from both Bowling Green and
Perrysburg for two sessions.
We have claimed from the start that the
people Of the county we re the proper tribu-
nal TO pass judgement upon this question
We therefore rejoice that they will now have
the opportunity.
We have little curiosity to see what
will be the result of the committee appoint
ed to investigate the members of that body
also to ascertain if possible, how mucl
stock Mr.. GORDON has in the Bowling
Green interest. B,tter call it B Burglary
and let it pass.

Gen. J. D. Cox has been appointed Re-

Railway Company. 1t is understood that
the appointment is an amicable one, and in
accordance with an understanding among
the bondholders. The order of the Court
directs pay yments in full of the amounts
owing on the line of the Road for labor and
material. The bond OF the Receiver is
100000.
Two good results will be secured under
this arrangemcnt-(1.) the Road will be
protected from the annoyance and Interrupt
ton Of its business by proceedings in its
line; and (2) those to whom the Company
is indebted for labor and materials will re-
ceive their pay. Ere long it is hoped, the
Company will be relieved from its present
embarrassment and again in the hands OF
its oficers.-ToL3do Commercial
