The Acts Orthe Rump senate.

/
The dissenting opinion of Judges
Owen and Follett, Of the Supreme Court
Of Ohio, on the legality of the acts oi
] the minority or rump Senate. was
/ made public at Columbus. The opin-
ion is very strong that the acts of the
Senate were illegal. In the opinion
the following Is held:
"If seventeen members could trans
act such business so could seven, or any
less number. Indeed, let it once be es-
tablished that plain provision of the
constitution can be subverted or wholly
disregarded by such means as it is here
admitted were employed, and it is vain
to speculate upon what may not be ac-
complished In an effort to eontravene
the organic law of our State"
"In this case the Court is called upon
to consider radically new question.
1t is creditable to the legislative depart
ments of the States that no court of
last resort or any one of them has ever
before been required to deal with such
question. The industrial research of
counsel has failed to produce a case,
and it will be observed that not one Is
cited by the majority of the court,
JCIlNlO III blAC bllkuOCoL uCSACO w
support the extraordinary proposition
which is here contended for. To apply
the cases cited and relied upon it is
necessary to assume an entirely differ
ent state of facts from those which ap-
pear in this case. Cases are found sup
porting the principles that courts will
not inquire into the motives which
prompted the enactment of a law.
Their soundness will not be questioned.
They all presuppose full authority to
act. Here there was entire absence of
authority.
"If the position reached by the ma
jority be tenable, these startling con-
clusions follow: When both branches
of the General Assembly, possessing
undoubted authority to act, and acting
in good faith, overstep in the slightest
degree the limitations of the constitu-
ton in the attempt to enact law, this
Court is clothed with abundant author
ity to overturn it and declare it null
lity; but where less than a quorum of a
single branch, utterly without authori-
ty to act, by scheme of conspiracy and
fraud unparalleled in the history of
Legislation, overthrow and disregard O
plain command of the constitution,
and cause false, spurious and pretend
ed journal to make that appear which
was not and could not be done, this
Court-the Court of last resort in the
State-which has ever been regarded as
the last refuge of broken constitution,
is compelled to confess itself helpless
and powerless to do more or less than
ratify and sanctify the great public
wrong by pronouncing upon it its
solemn approval"

Sustain the Vetoes.

The Democrats in congress should not
hesitate to accept the issue the Republicans
seem disposed to make and dsustain the Presi-
dents action in his vetoes of the pension
Jobs. In spite of the howlings of the iobbers
and the scolding of demagogues the country
knows the President did right in vetoing
these bills, and will sustain the President
and the Democratic congressman if they
stand by the President.
It is very well understood by sensible peo-
pie that these pension claims are worked up
by pension agents, who raid the pension
fund upon any pretense and often with no
pretense at all. 1t is very well understood
that these claims come before congress and
are logrolled through congress without ex-
animation and often without consideration.
That there are meritorious pension claims is
true enough, and President Cleveland has
signed many bills allowing such claims. At
the same time it is very we'll known that
mixed up with these meritorious cases are
many with no merits at all and which are
jobs of the worst description. These Presi-
dent Cleveland has vetoed, and properly.
That all deserving soldiers should receive
pensions goes without saying, but in order
that there may be money to pay pensions to
those who ought to have them the pension
fund must be protected from the raids of
pension agents, jobbers and undeserving
persons. In stopping these raids the Presi-
dent has done well, and the Democrats in
congress will do well to sustain him.-Plain

Farm and Garden.

THE LAST F0URTH.-An authority
states that the last fourth of the milk
from the COW should be saved in a sepa-
rate vessel, as this portion of the milk
is so rich in cream that it pays to churn
it all, and thereby save the labor of
skimming.
DAIRY SCHooLs.--In Europe dairy
schools are being established, at which
boys and girls are given both theore-
tical and practical knowledge of milk
ing and manufacturing butter and
cheese, as we'll as familiarized with a
knowledge Of the breeds of stock and
their characteristics. The schools are
imparting great benefit wherever estab-
lished,
WASTE TIME.-Much time on every
farm is spent in doing small jobs, and if
proper conveniences for those are not
furnished the time wasted is so much
clear loss, A good farmer will try 20
have stock, grain, hay and roots With
water, all under one roof. This enables
him to do the work with the least need
less labor, and give more time for neces"
sary Improvements.
BUTTER.-Crocks of butter to be kept
for several months, should never be
placed upon the cellar bottom. This
causes two degrees of temperature in
the crock, which will be at the expense
of the quality of the butter at the top.
The crooks will keep their contents far
better ifplaced at least foot from the
cellar bottom, upon bench and a thick
woolen cloth thrown over it.
SToRAGE.-Houses for storing fruit
which are cooled by ice are costly in
structure and expensive in running.
They are warranted only on large
scale, where vast supplies of fruit will
sell at high prices after being kept
some months beyond the usual period
of maturity. Some of them have failed
because the reservoir Office, which must
be secured the previous winter, fails of
its supply in autumn when wanted fol
autumn fruit.
FRUIT TREES. Swatch newly planted
fruit trees. If they have but a few
weak leaves only, it shows the roots
have been injured; then prune them
severely, which will make them grow
freely. 1t should be main object te

BEARS EAT A BABY.
A Party of Wondering Fakirs Feed a
Living Babe to Their Performing
Bears.

Bears.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 9.-The fol-
lowing remarkable story comes from a
man from North Jackson, whose We
racity is unquestioned. A mile and a
half east of Ohiltown Mills in Trumbull
county, five miles east of North jack
son, a few days ago, seven Turks, with
some performing bears, were in camp.
There were five or six women and
children besides the Turks. One wo-
man about % years old, with baby 4
weeks old, was sent one morning to beg
bread and edibles. When she returned
she did not have sufficient to satisfy the
lazy men, who at once began to abuse
her. One of them snatched the 4-weeks-
old baby from the mother and threw it
to the bears, who devoured it ravenous-
| ly. The screams of the mother for her
little one attracted some neighbors, and
she told them her story. They had
seen her with the baby an hour before,
but could not find it by diligent search.
When the men were questioned about
the matter they said the child had died
and they. had fed it to the bears to save
funeral expenses. There was SO much
indignation that citizens got together
to investigate, but when they got to
the camp the Turks were gone. Be-
sides numbering the child the lazy
Turks beat the mother over the head
with clubs to keep her from screaming
and make her 60 along with the crowd
andnot complain. The. last heard of the
Turks and their bears they were going
toward Salem.

Especial Dispatch to the Enquircr.l

COLUMBUS, July 1.-THE "Book of
Lawsn for 1886, covering the doings OF
the stumptailed Sixty-seventh General
Assembly, is just out and it fully justi-
fies all expectations concerning the
extravaganza of its members, or, per-
haps, more accurately speaking, the
majority of its members.
The salient features of last winters
Legislation are:
/. An increase of the States indebt-
edness.
2. A startling increase of the annual
expenditures, and consequent increase
in the rate of State taxation.
8. An enormous increase in the local
bonded Indebtedness of counties and
municipalities.
4. An extraordinary increase in the
local or special taxation, which is in
addition to the regular tax levy for
State and local purposes, and intended
largely to cover an indefinite amount
of local bonds to be issued at the discre-
ton of municipal and county boards.
In this 1 shall pay attention only to
the two latter features, and invite at
tention to the showing made by the
figures.
The counties are taken in their regu-
lar alphabetical order, and the amount
of local bonds authorized for each is
given.
Each reader will see for himself how
much of the local burden is placed upon
his shoulders. The sums are as follows:

make all transplanted trees not merely
have leaves, but have new shoots at
the earliest possible moment. II they
are growing very well, they may be al
lowed to perfect new fruit. Overbear-
ing on newly planted tree is, however,
one of the best ways of making it
stunted for years.
AIR AND THE SoIL.-The- air per-
meates all soils unless filled with stag
nsnt water. If there is motion in the
water through the soil it is evidence
that some air is present even their. All
soils excepting pure sand absorb and re-
tain fertilizing properties from the
atmosphere, though heavy and loamy
soils do this most. When the country
was new it was noticed that fever and
ague developed from malaria was worse
on sandy soils, though these were gen.
orally dry, and the malaria itself was
most apt to originate on low, wet lands,
where there is an abundance of decay
ing vegetation.

Prof. Horsford's Baking Powder.
DE-. w. w. MAoGREaoR.

Corpus Christi, Tex, says: "Ihave examined
Horsford's Baking Powder, and consider it a
valuable article for the use intended. The
phosphates are an absolute necessity to the
healthful growth and repair of the tissues of
the body. Many diseases, especially of the
bones and nervous system are in a great
measure due to the deficiency of these salts
in the body. The vital. processes going on
within the body are attended with a constant
waste of the phosphates, which must be sup
piled by the food taken. In the manufacture
of -four large portion of the phosphates is
lost in the separation of the bran. In the
use of Horsford's Baking Powder, rich in
phosphates, this is, in measure restored,
and the bread is thereby rendered more
healthful and much more nutritious" limo

This represents only the bonds specif-
ically authorized and provided for. In
addition to this I find that in thirty
counties special levies and indefinite
sums of bonded Indebtedness at the dis
cretion of local Boards are provided for.
AS O matter of course, the precise
amount of the burden thus placed can
not be arrived at, so I lam forced TO ap-
proximate it to enable the reader to get
any thing like correct idea of its
amount.
Taking the very lowest sums that
could be realized under these indefinite
acts relating to the thirty counties
spoken of and the highest and adding
them together and dividing by two we
get fair and reasonable average. The
minimum is 81, ,456,000 and the maxi
mum So ,O25, 900, or mean local indebt.
edness of this character of 81, ,390, 800.
This, added to the bonds as above
given in detail, makes $5,046,570 as
the sum total of the local indebted
ness upon the people of the State by
the Sixty-seventh General Assembly,
which was born in revolution and
thrived upon conspiracy.
This does not include the money
borrowed by the State; the extraordin-
ary approprations-the largest in the
States history-or the increase in the
tax levy for State purposes, which is to
come.
Ipresent these figures more especial
ly for the benefit of the honest masses
of the Republican party, and respectful
ly ask them how long they can afford
to be misled by the demagogical cries
of democratic fraud" and Democratic
corruption" and blindly follow their
Doodle leaders, who grow rich while
they break their dupes upon the mex
orable wheel of taxation. w. A. T.

A sample Of Republican Reformer.

A Sample OF Republican Reformer
The Hon. John Little is known in his Con-
gressional district as one of the most cor
rupt of politicians. The district is strongly
Republican and a nomination is equivalent
to an election. In 1884 Little and Mr.. Coates
Kinney were the contestants for the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Little's lavish use of money to
buy up delegates was so notorious that Mr..
Kinney afterwards wrote letters to the dele
gates charging Little with getting his nomin-
ton by the most corrupt use of money. The
Commercial Gazette admitted that, in that
convention, Doodle was Ithe chief factor. II
has not been denied and is well known that
in that district, the Xenia district, that the
Hon. John Little is first class boodler. And
this man goes to Washington TO urge a charge
of bribery against Senator Payne!
