Important to Farmers.

The Ohio Legislature hos recently
passed a general law compelling land
owners to cut thistles and briers along
partition fences. and it being of so
general interest to landowners we
publish it for their interest.
AN ACT-To compel owners of land
to keep brush, briers, thistles, and
other noxious weeds cut on their
respective sites of line or partition
fences.
Section l.. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly OF the State of
Ohio, That it shall he the duty of
owners of lands adjacent to any line
or partition fence, when the inc osure
of two or more persons is divided by
such fence, and when the land is i'm
proved on both sides of the same, to
keep all brush, briers, thistles, or
other noxious weeds cut in the fence
corners, or in close proximity to such
fence, OF on their respective sides OF
the same.
Sec. 2. If the owner or tenant ec,
cupying the same, neglects or refus.
es to cut, or have cut, such brush,
briers, thistles, or other noXious
weeds, as provided in the foregoing
section, then any owner or occupant
of land abutting on such line or par.
tition fence, who may feel aggrieved
thereby, may, after having given the
owner or tenant occupying such land
notice of his intentions, of not less
than ten days (and if such brush,
briers, thistles, and other noxious
weeds are cut not or removed at the
respiration of said ten days., notify
the trustees Of the township in which
such land is situated, whose duty it
shall be to at once repair upon the
premises, when, if they become salts
fed there is just cause of complaint
they shall proceed to cause such
brush, briers, thistles, or other nox-
ious weeds to be cut in such name,
AZ they may think best, either by let

The Democratic victory in Michi-
gan, considering the a~ntecedents of
old Zach Chambers State, rises to
amazing proportions. The Detroit
Free Press claims the majority for
the head of the Democratic ticket
will reach 10000, Notwithstanding
the fact the Prohibition party in
dorsed the Republican candidate.
Says the Free Press:
"The Wolverine State has wheeled
into line with the party ofpolitical re-
form and with the spirit of the age.
She has put behind her the things of
Republicanism. She has sponged out
the black marks which have SO long
stood against her on the record, and
opened a new set Of books. The i'm
pudent boast that "anybody a carry
Michigan for the Republican ticket
has been repudiated with an emphasis
which carries complete assurance
against any repititions. x y * x
With a Democratic President inaug-
urated, Republicanism could not have
Michigan wen with the old bulldozing
and financial methods. Withoutthese
methods the case was utterly hopeless,
and the failure to resort to them wa
the most notable fact about day
contest. The Federal otficeholder, for
the first time in twenty-five years, was
conspicuous by his absence !; as were
the "workers" subsidized by official in
fuence. The result of the untrammel-
ed vote is the most savage indictment
that could possibly be brought against
the Republican party and its political
practices"

"The Democratic party is mani

in it, which is in favor of free trade,
irredeemable money, and deprecated
coin"
This is what is said by the Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, for the1bene-
fit of the public at large and the Re-
publicans of his own State in p~articu-
lar.
Anybody who believes it will be:
lieve anything.
But whatever element controls the
Democratic party today, it is better
than the element Of thievery and

The chief fault to be found with the

says: mime tenths of those who are
applicants for office belong to the
class who have held State. county or
municipal office. They have tasted
blood, and are hungry for more. The
ex Congressman contingent is the
largest in the field, and, we may adf,
the least deserving. II President
Cleveland cannot find persons: to fill

men, it would be about as well TO per

We heartily endorse the following
remarks which we find in that ex.
celient Democrat sheet, the Colum
bus Times:
at is evident that the people are
tired of machine politics, and well
they may be. Gentlemen who make q
pursuit of politics will find it largely
advantageous to themselves to turn
their attention TO some decent voca.
ton. The people have grown very
weary of the manipulators, and will
have none of them. There is another
class who jump into politics for the
money that is in it. They will do well
to quit. Speculation and corruption
are not to have any recognition any
longer. Those of his class who are
in, had better mend their way, OIL
they will geS tripped. Those who are
waiting for soft snaps had better turn
their faces to some other mecca"

Last year the prices opened at $l.75
per ounce, but under the weight of
Increasing stores of bark and en-
larged manufacturing operations fell
off to 95 cents per ounce. Now this
is better than quinine at $3.50 per

in abolishing the duty, and vindi.

The condition of the winter wheat
is now q topic of interest. South of
the Ohio river, the winter has been
exceptionally hard on the crop in the
ground the surface being bare during
some ofthe coolest weather, while
the spring has been very dry so far.
The Kansas crop is estimated at Is,
100000 bushels, against Al, 900, OOO
last year. The general acrerge being
much less than last years, the East
ern grain men are figuring on a total
of only about 4OO, 600, 600 bushels.

Five hundred thousand acres Of
land have just been restored to the
public domain by the prudence OF
Secretary Lamar. The Texas Pa
cifc and the Southern Pacific rail,
road companies were all ready to
seize on it, Notwithstanding Congress
passed IN act forfeiting it. One OF
the under secretaries signed the bill
undoing in a measure the act of Con
gress and he excused himself on the
ground that it was done in the ordi-
nary routine way. Secretary Lamar
can hardly hope to make q success
of his share in the administration
unless he has under him men who
are in accord with him. Nc doubt in
a sholt time the department as well
as all others will be recognized.

For several years it has been the
custom in the Treasury Department
to use the Library fund-amounting
to about $500 a year-for the pur-
chase of the latest novels and other
interesting books for the S of the
clerks. Secretary Manning has cut
off this abuse by directing that the
fund shall be used only for buying
reference and other books in the line
of department duties. If this kind
of thing is kept up in all the depart

in manufacturing. mechanical and

clergymen in 1880 was 54,69S,

of lawyers was about the same as

prohibiting the introduction and sale
of Intoxicating liquors in that State.
The question will be submitted to the
