what they are DO1ngIUndOing. Going
to Do and Not Doing.

o. S. Journal, April 18th.
LoVelace has more fun with himself |
than any man in the House.
All the windmills in the Legislature
had their cranks on yesterday.
Klimper has secured pipe of peace,
which he proposes compelling Alexander
to smoke when that statesman gets to
tearing up the ground again.
The Belmont county seat lobby will
linger patiently about until Mr.. Danford's
little bill doth appear. The third house
is troubled with absenteeism just now.
The sessions of the Senate have been
opened so far this week without prayer.
The prevailing opinion is, that this is an
oversight which should be remedied at
once.
The House yesterday refused to insert
a provision in the Appropriation bill to
pay for the losses sustained by individuals
at the recent fire at the Soldiers Orphans
Home.
Mr.. seifert, of Fairfield, is the oldest
member of the House, while Mr.. Groesch-
ner of Henry,is the youngest. Mr.. Hitch
cock, of Geauga, has been the longest
member of the House.
Eylar has Matched fee bill for Adams
county. Some statesmen aspire to the
regulation of the compensation of the coun-
ty officers of the entire State, while Eylar
is content with giving his own boys a
boost.
Ifanybody wants TO see Alexander bow
his back and cavort like a mud flag before
a red bull, just let him ask for an appro-
priation of the fraction of mill for the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home. 1t
will bring blood by the bucketful every
time.
There are many who would like to know
what the Senate committee is doing with
the Aehaner bill which restores to the
State Superintendent of Insurance the
authority to make examinations into
the affairs of fire and life insurance com
panies, and provides that all moneys re
ceived for said service shall be covered
into the State Treasury.
, The German advertising bill which yes
|, terday became law, provides that ad
, Fvertisements of Sheriff's sales in cities o
: the first and second class shall be insertet
in German newspapers, unless Otherwis
ordered. The old law provided that sucl
advertisements should be inserted in sucl
newspapers only on application and b,
4 order of the court.
: Mr.. Booth yesterday vehemently op
t posed the appropriations for improve
e ments at the Ohio State University In
; speech on the proposition to appropriat
$50, 900 for new building, he denounce
: the institution as a fraud and gave it Hal
), Columbia generally. In the afternoon h
made further record by moving to strik
!; out the appropriations for a greenhouse
: solar compass and to repair the river bank
The House, however, refused to strike ou
, the latter appropriations.
: The House yesterday struck out of th
: General Appropriation $4,000 for tn
: Ohio State University. The fight on thi
clause of the bill occupied nearly tw
> days and a half, and was not at all SCI
: tional, one of the most bitter opponents
. the appropriation being Mr.. Booth {
= Franklin. Some gentlemen based the
: opposition on the change of name. It ws
: made evident in the debate, however, tn;
: some gentlemen were opposed to the il
stitution on the ground that there was 1
barn-yard smell or pig-sty flavor to
The absence of these ingredients appea
- to be looked upon with disfavor.
n The action of the Democratic caucr
IA Tuesday night showed on the surface
d the House yesterday morning. Wh'
g. the House went into committee of Il
Of Whole, Mr.. Van Cleaf moved that
ne speeches be limited to five minutes. M
n tions were made to extend the time to t,
OF and fifteen minutes, which were disagree
nr to and the five minuterule adopted. TT
Sc action caused bad blood, inasmuch
ON during the past few days on the bill IL
der consideration members were unlimit
as to time, so when it was proposed
apply the gag there was a lively kiC
ny which caused more or less disturban
He during the debate.
