The Campaign In ohio.

The most important election of tho year will
| take place in Ohio next October. Each po-
litical party has adopted platform of prinoi-
plos and placed it's candidate in the field. So
fur rs the nominees arc concerned neithor Of
them seems to bo n man Of much prominence,
and both are scarcely known outside Of the
State in which they reside. It may be taken
for granted that they are men of fair abilities
and good character, neither Of whom has q
record to be used against him in tho contest
The platform oftlle two parties may DO briefly
summarized. Tho Democrats ronew their
pledges of devotion to the Union and the Con-
stitution with its amendments. Thoy declare
in favor of homo rulo, separation Of church
and State, the connlou school system, and
oppose all subsidies. They domand the repeal
| of tho resumption not, tho romonotization Of
silver, tho retention of greopback currency,
the stoppage OF oil further contraotion, q ma.
tional currency and tariff for revenue only.
They say that tho acceptance by tho Admins
tration Of the constitutional policy OF local
self.govcrnment 80 long advoca by tho
Democracy has brought peace and harmony
to tho Southern section Of tho Union. The
Republicans reaffrm tho National platform of
1876, endorse tho Administration of President
Hayes and insist upon the enforcement Of the
Constitutional Amendments. Thoy favor tho
reconciliation Of silver, oppose railroad sub,
sidies and tho removal by Congress Of burth-
cnsomc and oppressive patents. Taking ad-
vantage Of tho strike, they make bid for
laborers' votes by sympathizing with tho lae
borcrs who cannot obtain employment, or who
are employed at inadequate wages, aud
demanding that Congress shall establish n
National Bureau of Industry. exert its author.
ity over all national highways Of trade to secure
fair wages for employees, aud make provision
for statutory arbitration between employers
and employees to adjust controversies, etc.
II there was any difference of opinion among
the Republicans of Ohio concerning tho
Southern policy Of the President they have
been reconciled. and both Republicans and
Democrats give us o forctaste Of the political
millennium by uniting in approval of that
policy. Ohio has for several years been
| classified as closo State, but though close
tho Republicans nearly always manage to
carry it. This year the Democrats seem
sanguine of victory. Tho election of q United
States Senator hinges upon tho contest. aud
both parties will make desperate fight, as
they always do for tho spoils. 10 those
remote from tho scene Of action tho issue
| seems involved in great doubt.

men who cannot get work, or lramps, or dis.

the quiet of the South when nll tho other parts
of the country were ovcrrun by mobs, was the
peaceful disposition Of her people. If the

EIucatiCE2I jurisprudence.

State Superintendent Trousdule has
rendered the following decisions upon
questions presented from various coun-
ties.
The district school fund should be
discussed with Il view to equalization
Of the school terms of the respective
school districts without reference to
the number Of pupils in the schools.
Were a different principle adopted il
would cut off the sessions of smaller
schools. ut no school should lie
kept in operation with less than fifteen
papils.
The school which builds its house
out Of the common school fund should
he debitcd with the cost of building,
and this debt should be deducted from
It's allowance for that year alone. But
this tuilding account should never
exceed its equitable allowance for one
year
No part of the district school fund
is due" to any school unless it Is used
by it for school purposes if it fails to
carry on the school it must suffer the
consequences of the failure.
Directors have the power to take
charge Of, manage and control public
school property of the district. They
may therefore locate school houses
wherever the public interest de
mands. They may change the local
ton Of a school, but if they contract
with teacher 10 teach at a particular
house, they cannot require him to
teach at another house without his
consent
a person residing in another State
acquires no right to send children TO
school in this State by virtue Of being
a taxpayer in this State. Nor can
the County Court order his children
to be listed in this State so long as be
resides with them in another State.
This question arose from a man having
half his farm in Tennessee bur his
cOM:oil in NirE mia.

on the popular vote over West, will
foot up over 10000, and the Demo-

IS on joint ballot, thus securing the
election Of Democratic L. s. Sena>

The Importance Of this victory to the

we remember the closeness of the vote

ment of the Democratic and Consti~
tutional dealing with the Southern
question by the administration Of AIr

Nothing short Of a material modif-
cation Of the present oEerous tariff
and a repeal Of the Resumption Act,
should satisfy the Democratic House
Of Representatives. The policy ofthe
present and last administration has
been a fruitful source Of the many evils
affecting the peop.e during the past
decade. Every step Of Government
has been the interest Of the moniod
monopolies of the North and East.
The tariff has protected a Iot Of mon
cy leeches who have fastened them
selves upon the Treasury, and the Res
sumption Act has made the bond>
holders lichcr and the people poorer
by doubling the value of the securi-
It's held by one, and the debts due
ly the other.

Altogether we have a fair outlook

given to their farms, and as a result
an increased production. Farmers
