Mr. GEORGE JONES has sent to the
subscribers to the Grant fund circu-
lar announcing that the entire amount
of S2j0,OOO has been promised and
that S2l6,OOO has been paid in This
sum of money has been invested al
ready for General Grants benefit in a
way that will yield HIM an annual in
come of Sl3, 100. The investment of
money still to be received will probably
make the product of the fund about
$4,000 a year, The question now
arises will that sum be sufficient for
Grant to loIl around and do nothing.

President Hayes command courage
enough to veto it He was handy
with the veto. He vetoed the bill re-
stricting Chinese immigration. He
vetoed the bill remonetizing silver,
and he vetoed the Funding Bill, which
provided for the refunding of a portion
of the public debt at per cent.-a
rate OF interest that was practicable
and which would have saved to the
government many millions of dollars.
Every bill that was intended to serve
the great body of the people he vetoed /;
but the bill which Republicans say was
palpable and unquestionable steal he
allowed to become law without inter-
posing his executive objections. 1t

House of the Ohio Legislature Mon
day, and the door had to be shut under
a call to prevent those members who
did get in from getting out. 1t is a
Republican Legislature. 1t is the Leg.

abuses 1t is the Legislature that was
going to pass local option law. 1t is
the Legislature that was going to rush
business through and 60 home early.
1t is the Legislature that was going to
do good many things that it has not
done and will never do. The time
when it promised to adjourn is at hand
and only one appropriation bill has
been passed and that would not have

E 4 BILL has been introduced in the
Ohio Legislature which, if passed, will
virtually legislate out of existence all
the mutual life insurance companies
aud aid associations in the State, and
compel people to insure in stock COM
panies or not at all. The bill is an
iniquitous measure and calculated TO
