REORGANIZATION RiII,

There have been q scOrCe of bills in
troduced for the reorganization of the

of them for one bill. This committee
having had these various bills under
advlsement have reported the follow
ing, formally as u substitute for II. B.

There is an establishment in Cincin-
natl where they manufacture more than
G,OOO pounds per day of this new sub
stitute for butter. 1t is made from suet
and new milk, and is said to be the
equal Of butter, and in some respects
better. There is also q similar estab-
lishment in Cleveland, and this substi-
tute is entering pretty largely into the
trade, and is likely to become sue
cessful rival Of the old-fashioned cream
process of making butter. We do not
know that it has as yet become a sue
cess in the way of eheese-maklng, or
that it is likely to do so.

Federal Courts.

A son of United States Marshal
Ullery is in the city perfecting arrange
ments for opening the Federal Courts
in this city, March l. The Board of
Trade room is to be fitted up for the
purpose. The aspirations of attorneys
McCune, Watson and Ide, have all
been blasted by the provisions. Their
ambitions to be District Attorney is
thwarted because it was impossible to
pass the bill if the additional expense
of officials distinct from the Cincinnati
corps was to be incorporated. As it is,
Judge Swing will be the judge, Marshal
Ullery will send up his son as deputy,
and Claiming Richards, District Attor-
ney and w. o. Howard, clerk, will ap-
point deputies from their offices to fill
the same positions here.-COlumbus

Gravelod Roads.

The present open winter has dis.
gusted nearly every civilized man who
has been compelled to travel much dur
ing the winter on unimproved roads,
with mud roads, especially so with
those who have enjoyed the blessing Of
travelling upon good graveled roads,
as, for Instance, in Union county,
where they are already pretty well
supplied with free graveled turnplkes.
The enterprising people of that county
desire more improved roads, and ex-
press their desires on this subject by
asking for more, as we see by the Ma
rysville Tribune, Of that county, Of the
18th inst, that fifteen notices stating
that views and surveys for fifteen new
roads have been ordered by the County
Commissioners Of that county. If these
roads are made we think that 1t will
prove the best investment the people Of
the county can make for its agrlcultu-
raj Interests. FaYette county has nearly
400 miles Of free turnpike roads, and
this, with the immense underdrainage
that has been done, has done more to
develop the farming interests of the
county than double the same amount
Of money expended in the county in
any other way could possibly have done
And we repeat what we have heard
many Of our farmers, who at first had
doubts about the propriety OF so ex-
tended a system Of roads, say, that they
would not be willing to take twice what
the roads cost them and be compelled
20 pl0d their way the rest Of their lives
over mud roads. This, we think, Is
the sentiment Of the people wherever
the system Of making free pixies and
tile drains has been adopted to any con-
siderable extent This muddy winter
has furnished noontroyertable argu-
ments In favor Of the system above re-
ferred 70.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
Editorial correspondence
REPRESENTATIVES, HALL,
COT TrNRTLg q FphruDrV % 1890


COLUMBUS, o., February "a, lSs0.i
The House opened this morning with
nearly all the members in their seats
and a host of lobbyists in the city, each
one urging the superior claims of his
pet measure: and j can assure the read
ers of the HERALD that there are a
great many claims of this character
being crowded upon the consideration
Of this patient General Assembly.
The usual number of petitions for
Legislation on the subject of temper
anee were presented.
The Speaker of the House this morn
ing directed that call Of the House be
made, and instructed the Clerk to note
the names of all members who were
absent without leave, and before the
commencement of the call leave of alb
sence for some fifteen members was
asked and obtained, and the alleged
reason for their absence was sickness
Eighteen members were absent. Ac-
cOrdiDg to the statutes of this State,
So day is to be deducted from the
salary of each member who may be abb
sent from the House without leave, un-
less for good cause, and when call of
this kind is made the sanitary condition
Of the House is made knOwn-and it
reveals great many sick members.
The Judiciary Committee in the
House has not yet reported the Senate
bill giving us an additional Judge in
our subdivision. The bill of Mr..
Walker, amending a section in the re-
vised code so as to make the offense of
selling Intoxicating liquors to minors
or to persons in the habit of getting
drunk punishable by fine OF imprison-
ment, or both, passed by 6l vOtes-three
more than the constitutional require
ment. In the eodifed laws the words
" or both" were left off the revision.
The Cincinnati police bill passed the
House this afternoon by strictly party
vote, but there was not full house,
and on the Walker bill there was a great
amount of cowardly lodging WIN.

On Friday last, local option liquor
petitions were presented in the House
Of Representatives containing over 10,
600 names. DR.. Green, of Greene
county, presented local option petitions
containing 6,5ll names, nearly 5000 of
whom were legal voters Of that county.
Mr.. Young, the author Of the bill in
the House which requires saloon-keep-
ers to give bond for costs, fines and
damages on judgments obtained against
saloon-keepors for violating the liquor
law of the State, moved q reGonsidera-
tlOn Of his bill, which was defeated the
other day. The motion was carried,
and, on Mr., Young'S motion, the bill
was referred to committee Of one
(himsel). This gives him the right,
under the rules Of the House, to report
the bill back to the House at any time.
Two bills by Mr.. Milllkan-one to
authorize the State School Commits
sioner to fix, from time to time, the
maximum price at which text books
for public schools shall be retailed, and
a bill in relation to Boards Of Educa-
tion hiring supOrintendents in public
schools-came up for a third reading
on Thursday, and on his motion both
bills were referred to a committee of
one, where they will probably remain.

Sensational writing.

1t is a lamentable fact that certain
class of newspaper editors and report
ers have adopted style of sensational
writing that is eultivating taste for
reading which is doing vast amount
of injury to the young readers espe-
cially; and this is done for the purpose
Of making market for their papers.
For it is true that in all communities
there are persons, old and young, who
are fond Of the sensational, and who
eagerly gobble up all the SANDER that
may be afoat, They have a taste for
that kind Of literature, and if a news
paper does not get down to that kind
of gossip they regard it as unworthy
Of their patronage, for that is the only
incentive they have for reading. A cor
respondent Of the Marion Lndepcudem
of last week never told a greater truth
than he did when he said:
"The growing passion for sensa-
tional reading and tales of SANDER is
attributable largely to the press. The
high coloring, penciled in the reports
of trials for divorce, rape, robbery and
murder, together with reports of scan
dal, real, imaginary, or for blackmail-
Ing, all tend to cultivate this passion,
and more or less familiarize the Young
with such evils which tend to benumb
the finer feelings of our nature and
blunt the moral Senslbilities of our
being"

fully looked over and read by the vot
ers Of those Wards. The lists are not
intended to include the names Of those
who are on the collectors duplicates, but
all whose names are neither on the dup

not assessed anywhere. Those are the
persons who should attend at the City

the extra assessment Tomorrow we
shall publish the extra assessment of
the Fourth and Fifth Wards and proba
bly, the Sixth, as space in our columns
will permit, and We intend to keep on
publishing the names from day to day
until the whole extra assessment is
published, which will probably be by
Thursday at the farthest. The names
have been copied orthographically as
they appear on the assessment. I'll
there is any mistake in the spelling of
the name it should be corrected at the

Mr.. Alexandsr,s Death.

The terrible death Of Richard G. Alex
ander, of Delaware City, on Friday
night last, of hydrophobia from the hite
Of q mad dog six weeks before, makes
the fifth victim Of that disease in Viii
mington and vicinity within eighteen
months past. The first was the child
Clarence Carson, and then in order
George W. sedgwick, Mr.. Dobb of New
Castle, George W. Powell, and now
Richard G. Alexander is added to the
number. This is death record sufi-
eient to alarm the most stout hearted
and to stir such feeling against the
canine race as should result in the al
most total determination OF every dog
in the community not accompanied by
an owner or properly niuzzled. All
the dogs in New Castle County if val
ued at their highest cannot compen-
safe for the loss of one human life. In
every instance when a death has oc-
CURED from hydrophobia we have urged
upon the City Council the necessity of
the passage Of an ordinance which
would meet the case and which would
insure protection to our citizens from
worthless dogs running at large in the
streets, but somehow with an unac-
eountabls callousness no measures Of
protection to our citizens have been
adopted other than more rigid inforce-
ment of existing ordinances which are
not sufficient to meet the case. With
so many cases of hydrophobia as have
occurred in our vicinity, we may rsa-
sonably suppose that there are dogs in
the community that have been bitten
by other rabid dogs and are liable at
any moment to an attack of the rabies,
and to start of in round of death. |
This must be the ease especially in
Delaware City and the region of coun-
try between there and New Castle
through which the dog which bit Mr..
passed. All dogs suspi-
cioned of having been bitten should To
Immediately killed, that the communi-
ty may be protected. We have no doubt
that the municipal authorities Of Della
ware City will adopt stringent meas
ures of protection and if the City Coun-
ell Of Wilmington is wise it will do the
same thing.

Tho Cultivation of Tsa.

Should the culture of the sugar beet
and the manufacture of sugar prove re.
munerative to the citizens of our State
engaged therein, We trust an effort will
also be made to introduce the culture oI
the tea plant. 1t will be grand thing
for our people to grow their own tea az
well as to make their own sugar, as we
will then be little more independent
of foreign nations for the luxuries az
we'll as the necessaries of life. The
saving to our country would also prove
very gratifying, as We send some $15,-
900, 900 abroad every year for tea. The
matter is certainly an important one,
and we'll worth looking into. Our
friend Pusey, who has done so much
to draw attention to the Importance Of
the manufacture Of sugar, should give
US some statistics on tea. The Commits
sioner on Agriculture, Mr.. Le Due,
thinks the Government should author
izs experiments to be made, and the
Agricultural Society of South Carolina
has also made the matter one of inves
tigation. A former citizen Of that State
has 900 acres under tea calturs in In
dia, and he is of the opinion that the
plant can be grown successfully in tn.
Southern States. 1t is stated that the
cultivation of tea was introduced in
India by the British Government in
1862, and in 1877 the plant was being
grown on 100000 acres of land, which
yielded 25,oOo,oOo pounds, and gave
business TO seventy-four native compa-
MES at Calcutta. From this it will be
seen that small brginnins soon leads
to an important and lucrative trade.
Daily Republican., 1880-01-19

The Agricultural Society Of Sonth Car
olina consequently thinks the introdue-
tion Of the culture Of tea highly dssir-
able, and wishes the Government to
establish an experimental farm near
Charleston, for the purpose of showing
what can be done with proper effort in
the culture of the tea plant. We hope
that the suggestion may be complied
with, as money can be much more prof
itably invested on experiments Of this
kind than in the fitting out Of explor-
ing expeditions to the polar regions and
the establishment Of an observatory
station in that section Of the world.

Fair Elections.

The claim Cf Senator Bayard that he il
in favor Of fair election is a pretenst
and q sham. A fair election in Della
ware is one Of the things of q past age
Laws have been enacted for the purpose
Of disfranchising voters, and there can be
no fair election where such a course is
pursued. The non-property holder il
not only struck of the assessment list
II he fails to seek the collector and pay
his tax, but the law provides that he
shall not be placed on the assessment
list again for period Of one year. As
the striking off is done in March and
The assessment is completed by the fol
lowing February, the re- assessment can
not be made for two years. Therefore
the men who were struck off last March
cannot by any possibility or effort
qualify themselves to vote at the cleo
tion next November. There are hun
drsds of voters in this predicament, in
this county. and we may say there are
thousands of them in the State. Sena.
tor Bayard knows this as we'll as we do,
and he Is willing that his party should
profit by such jugglery. If he really
possessed the honesty and fairness of
purpose which he claims, he would
protest against such legislation, and
protest from him would very probably
lead to a change in the law which has
been very properly characterized as
measure to disfrancLise the non
property holders, and cheat the State
out Of revenue. Mr.. Bayard should
never parade his honesty and integrity
30 long as this infamous en actment re-
mains on our Statute books. Collectors
should be required to call on every man
for his tax, and in case of a failure on
the part of any one to pay up he should
not be disfranchised for two years or
more, as this looks too much like pun
ishing him for being poor. We would
press this matter upon the attention of
Senator Bayard, and ask him to say
nothing further about his honesty of
purpose while such wrong exists.

We ARE under obligations to the pre-
pristors Of the places where the extr
assessments were hung up, for the
willingness with which our reporters
were allowed to take full copies. Only
two declined allowing copy to be taken
but we believe they declined through
sincere and honest motives. A note

ing them to allow us to take copy was
promptly respected and no farther trou-
Die was experienced. We thank the
