Judicial Circuit Convention.

There are nineteen counties compris-
ing this judicial circuit interested in the
holding of the judicial convention.
There is no constituted committee au-
thorized to call meeting to fix the
time and designate the place, and in
the absence of this authority it has
been suggested that the chairmen of
the several county committees are the
persons to whom this duty naturally
belongs and that they are the proper
persons to call the meeting. AS the
time for the convention approaches it
might be well to consider this plan or
suggest some other with the view of
having when the time comes a well
defined plan of action.-Auglaize Dem

Look Out for Swindlers.

This is the season of the year when all
kinds of swindlers imaginable are trav-
cling over the country. 1t behooves
farmers especially to be on their guard
against this class of sharks. Many
schemes are on foot to get money from
the unsuspecting, and the one most
dangerous is that one that looks the
most fair on its face. Another mode
prevalent to get money for nothing is
the circular dodge. This is generally
done by eastern parties who advertise
to send out valuable jewelry or some
other commodity for very small sum
of money. Every person who bites at
this latter scheme goes, as the saying is,
latter wool and comes back shorn.n
We have known cases where young
people send money for goods advertised
as solid gold and got solid brass. If
you have money to spend for any article
needed, buy it of your home dealers.
This is the safest way to insure you
against being absolutely defrauded out
of your money.

political influence has been more po-
tent than considerations Of justice and
public duty. From the beginning the
case has been a suspicious travesty, and
affords fresh illustration of the rotten
ness of criminal administration in
Washington when the accused is pub
lie man of prominence and political
influence.
Both the charges and the evidence
against Kellogg are of the most direct
and explicit kind. There is the testi-
mony of James B. Price that he gave
Kellogg twenty thousand dollars i'm
drafts and a prOmissory note as a bribe.
There is the testimony of John A.
Walsh that as banker he cashed this
paperand paid the money to Kellogg and
Brady, an accomplice in the transact
ion. There are the drafts and the note
with their tell-tale ENDORSEMENTS. There
are other proofs less direct but corroba-
tory.-N. Y. Herald.

THE collapse of the prosecution of the
Kellogg case is the latest and most dis
creditable chapter in the record of the
governments failure to punish the star
route jobbers. The proceedings against
this man have been marked by some
thing more than lack of earnestness
and determination something worse
than incompeteEcy, laundering and
dilatoriness. There has been a wide
spread suspicion that the prosecution
was mere pretense. This suspicion
has gained color at every stage in the
case, and now finds substantial support
in the final result. 1t will be generally
believed, and with good reason, that

DEFIANCE Democrats declare they
will have nothing to do with the June
convention, but will go to the Septem-
ber convention and nominate HILL
Defiance Express.
We don't believe the Defiance Demo-
Gratis declare any such thing. The
Defiance Democracy, as we'll as the
Democracy of the whole district, know
that would be foolhardy, as the district
cannot send Democrat to Congress,

AT cursory glance the Portsmouth
Times reviews the results of the labor
of the Legislature. 1t has passed wis
laws, inaugurated reforms, brough
about retrenchments, and did its worl
very generally7in a manner that will
commend itself to the approval of tn
people. The Times recalls the follow
ing as among its commendable works
This Democratic Legislature reduced
the levy for State purposes and cu1
down the taxes collected from the peo.
pie nearly 100000 per year.
At the demand of the people it abol-
ished the convict contract system in
the Penitentiary and provided for the
evils resulting therefrOm.
Under the judicial amendment adopt
ed last year, it established circuit court
districts in non-partisan spirit, and
prepared to put the circuit court ma
chinery in order.
Itpreserved the Ohio canals-made
the necessary appropriations to main
tain them-and promptly stamped out
ell jobs that had been piojected to appro-
pirate portions of them in the interests
of rings and jobbers.
1t improved the jury laws so that
more intelligent jurries can be obtained
and the ends of justice subserved.
1t made fair re-districting of the
State for Congressional purposes, and
wiped out the unjust gerrymandering
which the last Legislature had foisted
upon the people.
1t passed a number of laws in the
interest of labor and for the protection
of workingmen.
1t adopted measures to encourage and
strengthen the State militia, the safe
guard of the people in time of excite
lnent and danger.
1t removed some of the Objectionable
features of the Scott Law, while it pro-
poses to submit a constitutional amend
ment at the earliest possible moment
that will provide for a just and proper
graded license, and thus supplant the
Scott Law with a just system of reve-
nue. from the liquor traffic.
1t provided for the establishment of
an intermediate prison, which will in
much needed system of pris-
on reform.
1t gave civil rights to colored men,
which, under the decision of Republi-
can Supreme Court, had been annulled
in the Federal statutes.
1t passed wholesome laws for the pro-
lection Of miners and of all operatives
in mills and factories throughout the
State.
1t came promptly to the relief of Gin
cinnati in her recent calamities, and
passed measures to aid in restoring her
lost records and rebuilding the hall of
justice.
Other measures ofgeneral Importance
and many of minor importance, to
which we cannot now allude, it placed
upon the statute books, and adjourned
after shorter session than has been
held for years.
1t worked in the interest of the peo-
pie; it worked for reform, for economy
and low taxes, and Taxpayers and
aboring men can say in truth to our
Democratic Legislature "well DONE"

Scott Law Cases.

The Supreme Court of the State
granted motion of counsel to take up
the Scott Law cases out of their regular
order, and sets Tuesday, May 9th, for
hearing them argued. 1t is thought
the decisions will be rendered about
June 18th, which will not interfere
with payment of the tax, should the
law be sustained as constitutional, the
limit of the time of payment being
June Goth.

An Important Law.

The legislature last winter passed a
law which requires persons forming a
partnership to cause the date Of the
formation of such partnership and the
names Of the active partners to be re-
corded in the Office Of the county re-
corder. Where firm commences suit
in any court, If it can be shown that
this record of the partnership has not
been made, it will be good defense and
throw them out of court.
