THE GOLDFN STAIRS.

Recently Governor Foster of Ohio and
the state officials at Columbus made a
visit to the Ohio State university The
governor addressed the students, and
gave them some political hints of notable
significance. In substance he said: "It
is probable that many of you have politi
cal ambitions, and look forward to active
careers in public life. Letme. as public
man, admC nish you, before you enter
politics, to make yourselves aoealthy, for no
poor man can afford to take the risks that
he must take toSenter politics''
This is directly suggestive of a privi-
legged class. This leading idea in the
governors speech is doubtless cherished
and acted upon by many, but is not so
publicly and boldly avowed. The gov
ernor presumably proclaimed the axiom
of his own political career; but such an
open avowal of it this Republican gov
ernor would not dare to make, did he not
feel sure that it is in harmony with the
views and actions of his political party
1t has been charged, but not before so
readily admitted, that there is an aristoc-
racy of wealth that seeks to make a
corner in politics, as well as in business
and commercial affairs. By this rule,
poor men, however great their worth or
talents, are to be precluded from political
preferment. In the lines of Pope,
slightly changed,
"Wealth makes the man, and want of it the
fellow,
The rest is all but leather or prunella."
The theory and the boosted glory of
our institutions has been, that every ave-
nue. of advancement and prefermept is
open alike to the poor and the rich.
Merit and not money is the standard.
The boy, born in the log cabin, and
trained in the common schools, has as
direct pathway opened to him to the
highest positions, even the Presidency
itself, as the pampered sons of wealth;
attainment and advancement only being
conditioned on merit, worth, character
and ability. But all this, the very genius
of our institutions, must now be changed
according to the rich and astute Governor
of Ohio. Up the golden stairs, alone,
can the gateway to preferment be reached.
This is pernicious doctrine and is
credit to the official who gave it utter
ance, or to the party whose representative
he is. Get wealth, and then go into pol
itics, if ambition points in that direction,
and purchase position-that is the naked
doctrine, stripped of all its CLOSES.
What chance is there for the meritorious
citizen of little or NO wealth, to make
Roadway against this powerful political
factor, the lucre of the rich? With this
theory in vogue, what chance has the
poor man, with nothing but his admit
ted fitness, his worth and stainless char
acter to commend him, to obtain NOM
nation to office, or, if nominated, to be
electedi The old philosophic theory:
corruption wins not more than homes
ty," is reversed, and wealthy corruption
lists rule the hour, while ''honesty' bites
the dust

THESUNDAY SUICIDE.

The Coroner's Inquest and Verdict
The inquest on the remains of Helen
Rose Furnell. particulars of whose tragic
death by suicide last Sunday morning,
while suffering from illness and cense-
quent mental alteration, appeared in
Yesterdays issue of the GLOBE, was held
Yesterday morning at the residence of
Mr.. Geo. T. Woodward, No. 42S Laurel
avenue, yesterday forenoon. The in
vestigation developed nothing particu-
larly new concerning the young lady's
death, the act being the result of tenn
porary insanity caused by i'll health.
The jury consisted of the following
citizens:
Thomas Malcolme, Austin Akers, 1. F.
A. Studdart, Max Strouse, M. Johnson
and Fred. Alpstag.
George p. Woodward was the first wit
ness; the name of the deceased was Helen
Rose Furnell; she had resided with wit
ness about nine years. The witness de-
tailed the circumstances attending the
discovery of the body as fully reported in
Yesterdays issue of the GLOBE. He was
led to the awful discovery by slip of
paper that deceased left on the kitchen
table; it read, ssyou will find me in the
we'll" Witness testified that she had
been of a cheerful disposition, well
pleased with her lot and that she had
never manifested symptoms of insanity.
Witness could discover no trace Of foul
play.
MRS. WOODWARD.
Mrs. Woodward was the next witness.
The testimony of the witness was sub
stantially the same as that given by her
husband. Witness had examined the
writing on the slip of paper, and recog-
nized It as Miss Furnell's. Witness was
examined as to the health of the de-
ceased. In the opinion of witness it was
this that brought around the mental abb
CREATION. Witness was perfectly con-
WINGED that no outside agency entered
into her death. Deceased had been en-
gagged to be married to an estimable
young man in the southern part of the
state.
REV. MR.. MITCHELL.
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, pastor of the church
where the young lady attended divine
service, and who assisted in lifting the
body from the well, testified to having
known deceased for number of years.
She was a good and faithful Christian.
Deceased visited the residence of witness
last Friday; he had observed peculiar
expression and whiteness of the eyes.
Her relations with her affianced were OF
the most pleasant character.
THE VERDICT.
The jury found that death resulted
from drowning, having thrown herself
into well, while in condition Of tenn
porary mental alteration.

Cannon and William Deering, appellants.
Syllabus-This is an action for breach of q
warranty alleged to have been made by de-
PENDANTS upon the sale Of Marsh harvester
to plaintiff.
in writing, plaintiff that it was oral. Plaintiff
claimed and introduced evidence to show that
after the making of the oral warranty defend
ants agents handed him paper which de-
PENDANTS contend was the only warranty, that
he (plaintif) could not read it, las it was
written in q language foreign to him) but
that the agent told HIM that it was the same
as the oral warranty, and that this was not
true.
Held, That if the facts are as thus claimed
by plaintiff it is competent for him to show
them, and thereupon maintain his action for
the breach of the oral warranty.
The damages which one party to contract
ought to recover in respect of breach OF it
by the other are such as either arise naturally,
that is in the usual course of things,
from the breach itself, or such as
may reasonably be supposed to
have been contemplated ~ the par
ties were making the contract, as probable
result of the breach.
Under the first branch of the rule the dam
ages in case of sale and warranty OF har-
vester are the difference between the value Of
the harvester as it was and it's value If it had
been as warranted. In order to charge the
seller with the loss OF the buyers crops, under
the second branch of The rule, the warranty
should have been made under such circum-
stances and upon such state of facts that it
may reasonably be supposed to have been con-
templated by the parties when making the
contract, that if the warranty was not true the
loss would probably follow in consequence OF
it's falsity,
If such circumstances and state Of facts are
relied upon they must be pleaded and proved.
The fact that the buyer of warranted arti-
Gle gives his note for it, which has not been
paid when he brings his action upon the war
ranty, does not affect the extent of his dam
age. Neither is the sum which the buyer is
entitled to recover for breach Of warranty lin
tied by the price which he paid or agreed to
pay for the article warranted.

late Daniel Drew, residing in New York, was
last week forcibly seized and carried away in
broad daylight, and lodged in an asylum. He
is separated from his wife. He has
been judged insane by commission
of lunacy and incapable OF handling his
property, consisting of stocks and bonds,
amounting to over 100000 and his wife was
authorized to take charge OF his personal
property. Mr.. Chamberlain and his counsel
deny the allegation of insanity, aud claim that
he is of sound mind.
Had the assassin accomplices, as some have
affected to believe since the I'd of July? He
says he had net. In an address put forth "To
the American People," dated July Is, he en-
phatically declares, "Not soul in the uni
verse knew of my purpose to remove the pres
ident. It was my own conception and execu-
ton, and whether right or wrong take the
entire responsibility" In this there is no
claim to ''inspiration," no saddling of the re-
sponsibllity of the murder on Deity, as in after
thought reflections and gibbersh, he has in
stlnctively and blasphemously sought to do.

worse,'' as Douglas Jerrold once put it, have

funeral every paper in the United States would

did, the blistering fact, disgraceful to the
American name in all time to come, that at
