THE news OF yesterday morning from
Ohio is confirmed and grows even better
this morning. 1t seems to have been a
perfect Waterloo for the republicans, and
the Enquirer of Cincinnati contends that
the good effects are likely to last through
two elections and give the state to the
democracy in 1881. Those gentlemen in
New York and Pennsylvania who have
been feeling that party was strong enough
to hold their constituencies to them oyer

There they laid in wait for him everywhere

train had reached the Corliss works the

some one at Washington whose special
training and knowledge would enable him
b point out the evil effect OF state and Fed.
eral legislation on agriculture, etc. 1t is
the business OF every representative Of the
people in the Federal congress and the
various state legislatures 20 see that legisla.
ton does not eyilly affect either agriculture
or any other industry of the country. tits
the duty of these legislators, on the other
hand, to see that legislation is promotiye Of
the interests of the grand industries OF the
country; and if they fail TO discharge this
duty properly, the power is already in the
possession Of the agricultural classes, by
far the most numerous in the United States,
to return the unfaithiul stewards to pri-
vate life and fill their places with others.
II is absurd to hear such large
and powerful class Whispering for special
representation and demanding special leg
islation With far more grace might every
species Of industry in the land demand
a cabinet position. In this case it is
the rich man begging aims. The case is, as
we have said, a remarkable illustration of
how little the tremendous power of the bal
lot and the general scope and proper func-
tons Of the government are appreciated.
If the masses ever learn their true power
and become rightly educated on current is
sues and the functions of government, we
may look for wonderfully different Jegisla-
ton and administration of affairs, but I'M
til then we may expect, however absurd
the request to. hear repeatedly of all sorts
of wild demanda from all classes and sets
for special privileges through new means,
for which there is no earthly necessity.
