SOME of our Democratic friends are
making much ado because the commits
sioners, in the exercise of their legal
right, have appointed d. H. Darrah, the
Republican candidate for auditor, at
the recent election, auditor of the coun-
.ty, for the ensuing ten months. 1t is al
together probable that the Democrats
would possess the earth if they had the
chance; yet that is no reason why the
office of auditor should remain in pos,
session of a Democrat for a term for
which he was not elected. Some people
are foolish enough to venture the opin-
ion that nine or ten thousand dollars
salary, for a term of Office of three
years, ought to make a man contented
and happy enough TO rest at least ten
months. Besides, it would be a grace4

THE record of the Columbus Insane
Asylum, during the past year, shows
that thirty-two per ct. of the patients ad'
mitted were adjudged insane on account
of causes arising from the use of intoxi
icating liquor. This is one of the reasons
why the people desire to see the traffic
in intoxicating liquors so regulated, or
taxed as to reduce the quantity sold for
use as a beverage to the minimum
extent.
Thirty-two per cent. is a monstrous
tax for one line of business TO impose
upon the people in single direction.
When we think of the taxation in other
directions. on account of public and
private burdens arising from the sane
cause, is it strange that the tax payers
are insisting upon the saloon keepers
being taxed Dispatch.

THE Democratic organs are bowling
mad because Governor Foraker didn't
make Judge Johnson resign before Octo-
Der 8, so that two judges instead of one
could have been elected on November 2
1t would not have made any difference
in the result, as two Republicans would
have been elected instead of one. In
fact, if Judge johnson had resigned
before the day named, a Republican
would have been elected to fill out the
expired term of three years. whereas
