Isn't the Democrats of the last
Ohio Poker Legislature responsible
for the Smith Sunday law, the Pond
bill and the bribery and corruption
committed by that body? The same
argument that makes them the least
responsible for the River and Har-
Dor grab, would also make them
share the responsibility of the ras-
cally doings of the Ohio Legislature.

No more was heard of the "Pope's

more will be heard of "free whisky

Cali Germany and all England

the various classes, but there was Superiorl-

When the exercises closed, there were dec
lamatons in English and German. These
were all satisfactory, but Miss Bertha Schleu-
ming, Miss Mary Siemering and Miss Wulft
seemed to be popular favorites
The recitation by English scholars of Ger
man pieces was excellent, especially that by
the lady who recited "Theilung der Erde.'
The results were in general complimentary
to the teachers, especially Mr.. Kuhn's class
on general history, in which the pupils did not
fail to answer any question put to them.
After Mr.. Barbeck, the school director, had
thanked the visitors, the proceedings terminal
ed, evidently to the satisfaction Of the visitors.
We would add that this school, of which

full in our state, and is justly popular among

In accordance with the resolution of the
union, special inquiry committee from the
San Antonio Mechanics and Working-men's
Union president Theron Vail and Vice
President Ryder-Taylor) paid visit to Mrs.
Cunningham, the wife of the painter Cunning
ham, who attempted suicide, and who is now
in the county Jail as lunatic. Cunningham
was not member of the union, but that body,
on the principles of humanity, resolved to do
what it could to sustain a falling brother
artizan, and to aid his family. The committee
found that Mrs. Cunningham, who resides in
Elm street, has been in delicate health for a
long time, and is, of course, afflicted by the
sad fate OF her husband. She has five children
dependent upon her, the youngest being only
five months old; the only relative she has is
an aged father, who is feeble and finds il diff
cult to get even sufficient work to sustain
himself Mrs. Cunningham honestly told the
committee that through the kindness Of Mrs.
Sheriff Mccall, President Vail and her imme-
date neghbors, she has not wanted, but hel
rent is in arrear, and as Cunningham is re-
ported worse the future troubles her One
thing to hcv credit was palpabe: there was
no disposition TO seek charity, and she was
disposed to reduce her complaints TO mini
mum rather than magnify them.
The committee learned one thing that SUI
prised them. Although attention hes been
twice called to this case in the LIGHT, the
Ladies' Aid Society and the Sisters of Chart,
have not even given this poor troubled woman
call. Ifpublic societies collect subscription,
for the poor, it is their duty at least to investi
gate cases of distress, and then to sttQrd the
necessary relief in their power. In this In
stance it appears that, although the case has
been publicly known, neither LADIES' have
given ii any attention; and this fact is iea'lmf
to deserved censure upon those distributors o.
what is truly public charity.
