THE Ohio State Journal, the central
Republican organ of the State, is
not happy over the present Legislature.
1t predicts Republican defeat this
fall and thinks the action of the Legis-
lature on temperance will cause from
fifty to one hundred thousand Repub-
licans to remain away from the polls,
as it says "the people are disgusted
with the action Of the Legislature. -
1t thinks the Legislature had better
adjourn, and says-"If the present
General Assembly was called into be-
ing for the sole purpose Of passing
Democratic machine shop bills, pint
flask bills and bills to authorize town
ships to build railroads and tissue
bonds therefor; the sooner it adjourns
the better"

RitgeTille Breezes,

En-. NoRTHwEST The iamous "breeze"
excited ia this community some five years
since, known rs the Presbyterio- Congre-
gaiiunal lmhroligio, is now in iair way
to receive its quieius. 1t will bo remem-
bered that an effort WAS made by the Pres
izing themselves under the wings OF their
mother church, to carry with them the
church building. They did not however
find as smonth sailing as they anticipated,
for their congregational brethren said un-
to them, "nuw are We aliens aud sece,lers,
but the church remains to us." and so they
have continued To- hold il until the pres
enL. There has been some litigation over
the affair, and much blOOd-bOilinE, and
until recently the Maumee Presbytery has
stoutly maintained its claim. Al its spSS-
/ ion last week in Toledo, "a Bee reporter
among other items told the following:
J "lIOn. Jno. r. Osborne read lengthy
I report of the troubles between the factions
of Ridgeville Church, growing ont of the
separation of the COngregationalists. 1t
seems that the latter faction pugnaciously
] hold possession of the church, though not
disposed to meet their Presbyterian breth-
rem in friendly and christian spirit.
| In behalf of peace and good will the conf
mittee recommend that their brethren at
Ridgeville yield all claim to the church
building, and until they are able to erect
a building OF their own To join with their
Congregational brethren in worship"
This, virtually terminates all civil and
church litigation over the matter, and the
advice given in the report of the commit
tee is sensible one, whether their claim
is just or unjust; and if both parties were
inclined to work together, the cause OF
christianity would be greatly enhanced in
this community. AS to the true merits OF
the controversy, it seems bard to decide,
| for like the famous Schleswig- Holstein
contest, the more you hear about it the les
you know. Concerning it, as Socrates once
said of himself, 81 know only this, That
know nothing" Yet "let us have peace. y

IF anybody is attacked on any high
way by dog the party has right to
kill the dog and the owner can be held
responsible for any injury inflicted by
the animal Even on the premises of
the owner of dog, should party be
attacked and injured, after endeavor-
ing to protect himself, the owner can
be made responsible for damage infic-
ted, provided that it can be shown that
at the time he was in pursuit Of bust
ness or on friendly visit. If a dog
by barking at passing horses and
vehicles occasions any damage its
owner is liable for any loss sustained.
Thus the law properly affords ample
protection for loss or injury caused by
dogs.

THE value of English sparrows as de-
stroyers of insects has been questioned
during the past few years, and the gen
eral verdict seems to be that they are
useless, while their quarrelsome habits
drive off native birds which might be
of some benefit. The Philadel phia
Council seems to have settled the mat
ter to it's own satisfaction, and has peti-
toned the Assembly to repeal the law
for their protection. The city is over,
run with the birds, and they have gone
out to the market gardens in the vicin-
ity, where their ravages cause bitter
complaints from the owners. If the
Assembly grants the relief asked, it is
proposed to begin a war Of extermina.

JUDGES AT THE BAR.

EDS. RECORD UNION I note that Assem-
blyman Reddick has introduced bill amend.
atory to the Codes and to prevent Judges
from practicing law. should think the law
as it now stands in this particular regard, and
which is sought to be amended. is sufficiently
explicit, if indeed there are Judicial officers
to be found devoid of shame in soiling the
ermine and unmindfui of the spirit of their
official oaths. The appearance of any laws
whatever of this nature upon our statute
books is continual reminder Of the evils
resulting from an elective judiciary, and that
the judicial branch of our government is too
dependent upon the popular will to assist in
the maintenance of that dignity and respect
due our Courts and necessary to form solid
basis for society. If MIR. Reddick's constit-
uents are afflicted with an officer by nature so
Jesuitical that neither the language of the
Constitution, the spirit of his oath nor the
letter of the statute as it now stands is
sufficient restraint then proceeding in i'm
parchment is in order, and would be a far
more healthy restraint to accomplish the re-
lief sought than to lumber up our already
well-tinkered Codes with another amend
ment. Lex.

FARcICAL LEGISLATION.

Some members of the present Legisla-
ture appear to think that it is of no con-
sequence how much of the public time and
money Trey waste in preposterous prop
ositions, but crowd the files and embarrass
the committees with bills which ought
never to have been drawn. Here, for ex-
ample, is one by Mr.. Lane A. B. No. llS),
which under the pretense of protecting the
agricultural interests of the State, provides
that ANY person, firm or corporation
"who shall hereafter, at any time or place
"within the State of California, work, or
attempt to work. any hydraulic mine or
"mines, shall be deemed guilty of a
"felony, and punishable by imprisonment
''in the State Prison for term OF net less
than one year nor more than five years. !"
Perhaps Mr.. Lane regards this as good
Joke. but we confess not to be able to per
ceiye the humor of it. l. is not
for such burlesque work that the
people send men here at great expense.
There is no excuse for buffoonery under the
guise of legislation. There are many
serious questions to be discussed and dealt
with this winter, and honorable gentlemen
would do well to give some evidence OF
their ability to handle these important
matters before they begin to relax and
play the fool.

WHAT DOES Ii MgAN2

A bill has been introduced by Mr.. Pin
der "a. B. No. ll3) entitled San Act to
authorize the Sheriff or other officer of
"any County Jail or city prison to cut the
chair of prisoners to within one inch of
" the scalp" 1t provides that this opera
ton shall be performed upon "every per-
"son convicted of a misdemeanor, and
sentenced to longer term of imprison-
''ment than ten days" Is this another
raid upon the Chinese under the disguise
of general bill II it is, does it not in
tict an injury upon others than the Chi
nese, of very serious character? To cut
the hair OF every person convicted OF a
misdemeanor close to the scalp would per-
haps be no punishment to old DRINKS and
petty larceny cases, but misdemeanor is a
very comprehensive term, and includes a
great variety Of minor offenses. This bill
would make it necessary to cut the hair of
women as well as men, moreover, and it
can not be pretended that it is a trife for
a woman to have her head shingled in this
fashion. Unless some showing can be
made for the proposition better than occurs
to us at present, we shall be constrained to
regard it as both needless and improper

FILLING oGF A PAGE WITH BADLY
MIXED TYPE.

England can boast one editor at least
who might be trusted to run a country
newspaper in the United States. In his
youth Sir Richard Phillips edited and pub.
lished paper at Leicester, England, called
the Herald. One day an article appeared
in it headed Dutch Mail, and added to
it was an announcement that it had ar
rived too late for translation, and had been
so set up and printed in the original. This
wonderful article drove half England crazy,
and for years the best Dutch scholars
squabbled and poured over without being
able to arrive at any idea of what it meant.
This famous Dutch mail was in real
ity merely column of "pi." "Pi, it
may as well b, explained, is a tumble of
odd letters gathered up and set ON end so
as to save their faces from being scraped,
to be distributed, at the leisure of the
printers, in their proper places. Some
letters are upside down, often ten or
twelve consonants or as many vowels
come together, and the whole is peppered
with punctuations, dashes and so on, till it
might pass for poetry by lunatic Choc-
taw. The story Sir Richard tells of the
particular "pi he had hand in is this /:
.'0ne evening, before one of our publ
cations, my men and boy overturned two
or three columns of the paper in type. We
had to get ready some way for the coaches,
which at 4 IN the morning, required 400 or
500 papers. After every exertion, We
were short nearly column, but there stood
on the galleys tempting column of pi. ;
1t suddenly struck me that this might be
thought Dutch. l made up the column,
overcame the scruples of the foreman, and
so away the country edition went, with its
pathological puzzle to worry the honest ag-
ricu,tural readers head. There was plenty
of time to set up column OF plain English
for the local edition."
Sir Richard tells OF man whom he met in
Nottingham, who for thirty-four years pre-
served copy of the Leicester Herald, hop
ing that some day the letter would be ex-
plaIned

before drafting his measure. Under either
