THERE are two senates IN Ohio
organized in way where unanimity
In each separate body on any politi-
cal question can be had, If nothing
else. In one are 20 democrats. In
the other, II republicans. The two
senates come about by reason of the
corrupt attempts OF the II republi-
cans regardless Of the three demo
cratic majority by means of unheard
OF and corrupt rulings by a republi-
can lieutenant governor 10 undertake
to entertain trumped up contest

not Ia order to unseat enough demo

win only, without law or precedent,
or even common decency. A com

for some days to arrange plan by
which the two scnates can come back

democrats are determined to main

Arkansas Land Office Affairs.

Paul M. Cobbs, Commissioner of
State Lands, in a circular, dated
January LIST 1886, makes the follow
ing statement IN regard to the bust
ness of his office: From October let,
1884, TO January LIST, 1886, disposed
OF 32S.5lS acres of State land, of
which l05,0l9 acres were donated to
actual settlers, and 1915 acres were
decided TO donees who had filed proof
of residence on and cultivation Of
the quantity required by the law.
The gross receipts during that period
amount to 500, 257.S7, of which sum
Sill 1875 were paid into the state
Treasury as fees. During the same
period there was received and an,
swered 1887 letters; l,426 deeds
and l,056 certificates of entry were
made out, delivered and posted on
the records and plats, and over $500
township plats were copied and dis
tributed gratuitously among the
people. Besides, the records of pat
ents from the year 1916 to the pres
ent date have been carefully com
pared, and twelve hundred folio
pages of mutilated field notes have
been carefully transcribed. This is
a very good showing for the office
financially when the fact OF the
stringency OF the money market dur
ing the past year is taken into con
sideration; but if the benefits of the
information furnished from the rec
ords, and its value as an abstract
Office could be estimated, the alb We
figures would be as nothing in com
parison to the great benefit derived
by the people in hundreds of WAYS
they never take into account. Within
the past few weeks the records have
been removed into new quarters as
signed the office ia the extension
and remodeling of the State House,
and is source OF sincere congratu
lation to know that after so many
years occupancy of small, lnconven-
lent, badly lighted and badly VENT
lated rooms, the Land Office Is at
last in room constructed specially
for the accommodation Of its vast
and important business, and that its
valuable title papers, and the field
notes, aud the plates OF the u. S.
survey (now the property Of the
State) are secured against fire by
the construction Of a fire proof vault
connected with the Office, the con
tcrts Of which | have had complete
ly indexed and fled away so as TO
be accessible within moments no
tice.

THAT was high compliment tc
the Democratic party By Judge L. w,
Davis when lie elected the fact
in the recent Temperance Conven-
ton at Little Rock, that the Dem
ocralic party being the party in
power, had never refused any tenn
pcrance legislation asked at its
hands. 1t is seldom this can be at
firmed of party, and one so popular
and powerful as the democracy OF
Arkansas. 1t proves it in accord
with the very best thought and NOR
ais in the state. 1t subserves the
interests OF the public in moral as
we'll as political matters.

TALK about political revolutions,
they can come almost as fast and
sudden in England as in tickle
France, and almost as quiet and com
plete as in America. Within few
days past another change of admin
istration OF the Queens government
has taken place, and premier Sails
bury is again superceued by the
great commoner. VIM. Gladstone. 1t
has only been short time since the
reins dropped from his hands, aud
the great affairs of state handed over
10 the queens party. Now in less
than one short year be is called back
TO resume control where the footing
however, is very dubious and the
going uncertain. He resumes power
again, but how long he will keep it,
is not known. The Irish Parncllites
are working the situation for all
there is in it 10 order to fetch home
rule to Ireland, If it may be done.
Aud it looks nowelike it may. But
whether it may or not, Paddy is just
now large enough in English poll
tics to enjoy the exercise of step
ping on one end of the see saw, just
to see the other end fly up, if nothing
more, and especially since he is
where IN coming down it mashes
somebody elses toes.
