They are having the annual row in
Cincinnati about gas. The Commercial
has discovered that good coal gas can be
manufactured in that city at cost OF 30
cents per thousand cubic feet, and it
leaves the public to figure out the rest OF
the expense. The rest of the expense
consists of the distribution, salaries to
officers and "grease" for city Councilmen
when a new contract for lighting the
streets is on the tapis.

Cincinnati has a talented School
Board. Its members are adopts in the
language of blackguardism. In discuss
ing the resignation of the Librarian,
Vickers, the other night, they called one
another liars, umbilical cords, Siamese
twins, caudal appendsges, and one thing
and another with much heat. The pre-
siding officer was defied. One member
who expressed himself as tired of listen
ing to such id foollshness, was called
to order for so irregular expression. On
the whole, the members of this particular
meeting greatly aided the cause which
they are supposed to guard.
New York Herald.l
Mr.. Charles Foster, the Governor elect
of Ohio, who has arrived to assist Mr..
Cornel's canvass, bids fair to push Mr..
Evarts hard as a political joker. He ex-
presses fear that the large Republican
majority in Ohio impairs Mr.. Sherman's
chances in the Republican National Con-
vcntion, and cautions New York Repub-
licans, if they have any Presidential
candidate of their own in view, against
rolling up so large vote as to take the
State out of the doubtful category for
next year.

We have received a copy of news
paper containing an article marked with
a blue pencil, in which R. NJ. Bishop, of
Ohio, is spoken of as very appropriate
person out of which to construct Dem.
ocratic candidate for Weep President in
1880. The laborious effort to keep this
vain and ill-advised gentleman in the
field of politics really distresses us. We
are really afraid that he has been over.

[Pittsburg Telegraph
When Mr.. Foster was asked if the elec.
ton in his State would improve Secre.
tary Sherman's chances for the Presiden.
cy,he replied: "Of course; it will improve
the chances of any Ohio man." Thisglori

benefit of Ohio men.

Senator Conkling by coming to this State
and making speeches in favor of Cornell
Last summer, after Foster had beaten
Father Taft in the nominating conven

Mr.. Conkling, asking him to visit Ohie
during the canvass and deliver two OF
three addresses for him. The Oneida
Chief received the message with surprise
and curling his lip in the most contempt

How it must delight the Senator tt
now see Foster and John Sherman tug
