Ir Is said that an Ohio politician can
scent an office for 1000 miller on q clear
day. When the investigation was begun
against Senator Payne. it was just too
funny for anything to see several Republi,
can I-wish I-Eere Senators erecting their
ears and dilsting their nostrils in order to
catch Whit from q Senatorial Office. AT,
ter the utter failure to prove any specific
charges before the committee, the mass Of

MIR. ZIMsnERMAN's PLAN OF ELEC-
TIONS FOR OHIO.

MIR. ZIMMERMAN's PLAN OF ELEC-
rIoNs FOR OHIO.
There seems to be good deal of uncer.
tainty among both political parties in
Ohio, concerning what should be done with
the redistricsing bill introduced into the
Ohio Senate by Senator ZIMMERMAN. The
plan proposed by Mr.. ZIMMERMAN is thai
the State shall be divided into Senatorial
and Representative districts, and that the
Senators and Representatives shall be
elected from the districts of comfy In
stead Of from the county at large, as here
toiore. According to this plan each dis
trict in q county would send as many
members to the Legislature as its popula
ton would entitle it to.
While there may be some objections to
this measure; it would certainly have a.
least two advantages. 1t would make tb'
Legislature more a representative Of tn
people. As it is at present, the members
from q county are likely to b
all Republicans or all Democrats, accord
ing as the county is Republican or Demo
cratic. Though one party may have but
slight majority, it may gstall the members
while the almost equal minority may no
get single member. By the matter be
ing left to the vote Of the districts, the mi
hority is almost certain to elect some OF II
representatives. This would bring the leg
islstivs body nearer the people.
Another good feature about this Woui
be the,lesseuing of chances for great frauds
Where parties are closely divided frau
in a single district, as the system ia
present, might change the political con
plexion Of ell the members from the cour
t.; whereas, by the proposed plan it woul
affect only the district in which it was con
mitted. Take Hamilton county for e.
ample. Fraud in few wards could chang
the sntire number of Senators and Repr
ssntatives. Only . few could be change
should the men be elected from districts.

Gov. WILSON'S request to Auditor Dur
FG, 10 revoke the instructions to assessor
under which they have been operating tol
the past four years, ss published in yester
days REGIsTER, was town talk all day. IN
the opinion OF the REGIsTER it was mis-
take on the part Of the Governor to resur
rect this odd issue. The question to mos
people in the Democratic party and out
side of it as we'll, was virtual
" settled. The tendency oi
the decisions Of the Court Of Appeals in
dicAted that the Law under which the
Wholesale exemptions had been made was
contrary to the Constitution Of the State.
The Legislature at its last session certain
ly did not mean that the statutory clause
referring to exemptions should prevail
when it passed Law that assessments
should be made on the first day of April
instead Of the FIRST day Of January IS here,
tofore. The general talk on the subject
when the bill was under consideration was
to the effect that BY April 6rst nearly all
the feed would be eaten up
BY the stock, and therefore not assessed
twice. The REGIsrER does not impugu
the Governors purpose in making this re-
msrkabls order at this late day. Ne doubt
he has been acting eonscientiously
and deemed it for the best, but,
nevertheless, the REGISTER differs with his
sxcellency, and in due time will give
ampier reasons for doing so. In the

accuracy and finish of their work. The
Gramercy Park Industrial School ex-
hibited a very fine model of a-suspenA
sion bridge, made from full-sized draw
ings at q scale of one-sixteenth of an
inch to the foot This was the work of
seven boys, all under fifteen, and se-
cured first prize. A very perfect little
model of a stone-cutting machine. made
by one of the pupils of the Amateur
Technical Union, and designed to show
the manner of dressing marble, sand
stone and other of the softer building
stones, was awarded the second prize in
this department.. The exhibits of the
Hebrew Technical Institute and the
Yonkers public schools also contained
much that was ingenious in the way of
models and mechanical toys. The ex-
hibition was open for week, and was
witnessed by at least seven thousand
persons. The bulk of the unsold con-
tributions has been transferred to the
training school of the Industrial Asso-
citation, and will form the nucleus of
permanent exhibition. Arrangements
have already been made for similar ex-
hibitions in several neighboring cities.
1t is confidently believed that this move
ment for the manual training of Ameri-
can citizens. which has pushed its way
in the face of so much opposition and
Indifference, is now established on a
firm foundation, and by making in

FOREVER DISQUALIFIED.
Why George Frisbie Hoar Can Never I
Elected President of the United States.

Why George Frisbie Hoar Can Never Be
Elected President of the United States.
Hon. George Frisbie Hoar is occa-
sionally patted on the back by too par
tial friends who have faith to believe
that Republican nomination for Pres
ident is waiting for him. The presi-
dcncy of the American Antiquarian
Society is a much more congenial place
for this choleric old pre-Adamite, but
since he has boom, although a wee
and documentary one, lett be recorded
and encouraged. Brother Blaine has
had considerable fun with him at one
time and another, but in 1884 Uncle
George, allured, perhaps, by the pros
pect of being made Secretary of State,
worked for his former prosecutor with
characteristic petulance of speech and
piety OF demeanor. We suppose that
the paleozoic man of Worcester has
never understood how a candidate
whom he went moral bail for could
possibly be beaten.
But beaten Brother Blaine was, ana
beaten would Uncle George Hoar be if
by some tremendous CONFUSION of a
National convention he should ever get
the chance. The woman suffragists
might rally aroundhis venerable relics,
and the civil war be fought over under
his command, but all would be in vain.
And yet he is man of talent and OF
experience in public life. antique OF
aspect and vehement of speech, has
that sublimity of self-admiration which
goes far to impose upon the world,
and his private character is high. II
is impossible to say that a man from
Massachusetts may not be nominated
for President, improbable as the con.
tingency now seems; and Mr.. Hoar
may be the man. But there is one ir.
refragable objection.
Like his cousin, Mr.. Evarts, and like
Mr. Edmunds, he is virtually disabled
and disqualified by his participation in
the detestable conspiracy and fraud by
which Hayes was dumped into the
White House. Fraud vitiates all it
touches, and Frisbie Hoar, member of
the infamous eight of the commission
to promote fraud. will not escape pun
ishment if he ever goes before the
American people. He appears ven
cradle, pious and sanctimonious, but
no semblance or reality of subsequent
good conduct can induce forgiveness
of his great offence. He is perpetually
disqualified for the Presidency.-N 7.

This Is, To Saddle Special Legislation on

care we Nation of smart scampsP'
is question some writer has recently
asked, and if the observer were to
judge from the proceedings of our rep
resentative bodies, from the United
State Senate down, there could be no
doubt about the answer. How to sue
coed, honestly possibly, but how any
way. appears to be the main idea in
national, State and municipal poll
tics. 1t is the idea that ran through
the whole life of the statesman
from Maine, and only failed of a
national Endorsement by 1,O47 votes in
total of l, III, 312 cast in the State of
New York. We find the same idea
dominant in the United States Senate
in the manner in which questionable
special legislation is tackled on to nee
essary general bills.
Two fragrant instances of this
species of smartness on the part of the
Senate are fresh in the memories of
our readers. Some weeks ago it tackled
an amendment on to the Postal Appro-
priation bill providing for the pay
ment of SSOO.OOO to steamers carrying
the South and Central American, Chi
nese and Australian mails. This serv-
ice is already performed satisfactorily,
and the $500. ZOO is an Infamous sop for
political effect. The Senate knew that
any bill specially appropriating this
sum would be vetoed by the honest
man who was elected on the theory
that the funds of the Government are
a sacred trust The chief advocacy of
this scheme to circumvent Presidential
integrity naturally came from Maine
by the mouths of Senators Frye and
Hale.
The former of this precious pair OF
main-idea statesmen succeeded in tack
ing bill authorizing retaliation for re-
cent exclusion of American vessels
from certain privileges in Canadian
tain consular fees. The bill of the
Maine Senator has no earthly relation
to the subject of consular fees 1t is
legislation sought in the interest of a
lot of tricky Maine fishermen, who in
sist on taking Canadian fish out of the
mouths of their fellow-countrymen and
then insist that the Nation shall protect
them in poaching upon the fishing priv
ileges of their neighbors. 1t is essen
tally the pestiferous Maine idea and
the rest of the country is getting heart
lily sick and ashamed of it. The West
especially is weary of it. 1t is time for
moral ideas to awaken in national and
municipal life to cast out the main idea.
