Especial Dispatch to the Enquirer.l
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 25.--When the
present Republican State Administra-
ton came in we were told q pretty st0-
ry about the rewards that were to be
bestowed upon the old soldiers. Albeit,
about as many soldiers were turned out
ofoffice have been put in-an old soldier
counting for little or nothing unless he
was an active Republican politician.
The crippled veterans and gallant
soldiers who were appointed to places
by Governor Hoadly survived the ac-
cession of Foraker just thirty minutes
by the watch, and the ferociOus celerity
with which they were decapitated is a
fair specimen Of the Republican love OF
the soldier since.
When the reorganization Of the peni-
tentiary was set about--or rather, when
the first abortive and preliminary steps
were taken--another beautiful song was
sung, to the effect that the gallant
soldier was to have the right Of way to
the exclusion of the willy politician.
A good many Republican soldiers be-
lieved that there was something in this,
but quite large number of them do
not think SO now. Among those who
believed in the professions being made
was w. III. Wilson, Of Corning Perry
county. He was brave and gallant
soldier ofthe brave and gallant Thirty
second Ohio, and heard "the thunder
of the Captains and the shouting'' upon
some OF the hardest-fought battles of
the war. He took a true soldiers care
that death and danger should never be
to the rearward of him, but hunted for
them both at the head of the advance
ing column. He came out of the war
like so many other gallant fellows did,
with shattered health, but he made no
complaints. He went to work upon his
fathers farm, where he left off to buck
le on the bayonet and shoulder the
musket, and earned his bread by the
sweat of his brow. BY and by he
married, and sons and daughters grew
up around him. Possessing good edu-
cation, secured in the poor mans col
lege, the Common School, he secured a
place in some branch or other Of the
superintendence of mining in the Corn
ing district.
The troubles Of the past year bore
heavily upon the mininginterests there,
and Wilson, with Others, found it hard
work to get employment and earn
bread for his little ones through no
fault of his own. An intense Republi-
can, he did effective work for his ticket
in the mining district. Very naturally
he felt that he was entitled to some
consideration at the hands of the party
leaders. ii
His friends and neighbors thought
the same, and indorsed his application
for the position Of Captain OF the Day
Guard, which the Board filed with
Frank Kohne, a smart political wire-
worker from Hooking county. Wilson'S
Endorsements were something hand

For some years decided inclination
has been apparent over the country 10
give up the use Of whisky and other
strong alcohols, using as substitute

evidently founded on The idea that beer
is not harmful. and contains. a large

rests the reason, changing all the high

drinker may be the picture of health,
but in reality he is most incapable Of re-
sisting disease. Aslight injury, se-
we're cold, or a shock to the body or
mind will commonly provoke acute dis
ease, ending fatally.
Compared with inebriates who use
different kinds of alcohol. he is more
incurable and more generally diseased.
The constant use OF beer every day,
gives the system no recuperation, but
steadily lowers the vital forces 1t Is
our observation that beer-drinking in
this country produces the very lowest
kind of inebriety, closely allied to crimi-
nal insanity. The most dangerous class

In the Presidential years we civ,
the majority at the October State cleo
tions. which Is accepted IS the faires'
test, as a larger one h sometimes casl
at that election than the Presidential
one month later. The average vote
to,each congressional dlstrict in 1884
was 81, 200. The Republican plurality
| In the State was less than one-fhird
these figures, and not enough to en-
title that party to the odd Congress
man, but giving Il more q equitable
claim than the Democrats had. In
strict justice. on the figures OF this cleo
tion, the delegation should stand eleven
Republicans and ten Democrats; but on
the elections of other years OF the de-
cade of Democrats would have been
entitled to the odd member. The APP
portionmento of 1884 was therefore one
Of the falrest In the history Of the State,
In giving 10 each party its proportion Of
representative power.
But the recent Republican Leglsla-
ture, with Its Runip Senate, In an un-
precedented excess Of hogishness to
correct this Outrageous Democratic
gerrymander. frames one which gives
the Republicans sixteen members and
the Democrats five.
This Republican scheme of dlsffan-
chisement gives the Republicans one
Congressman from Ohio for every "a
900 Republican vote In the State, and
the Democrats for everv 77,000 Demo-
cratic votes. In other words, these
Republican shriekersf for honest politics,
q free vote and q fair count In Ohio
most of whom were deep In the Presi-
dental theft in 1876-by the twisting
and contortion ofcounties and divisions
of counties, give one Republican vote
ocratic votes; and all the time the
whited sepulchres are engaged In this
work Of Acknowledgement they sing
hosannas to their own honesty.
1t is Just as well these facts should be
understood, as In case two delegations
appear from Ohio in the next House Of
Representatives, elected under the
apportionment of 1884 and 1883, and the
House should be close. the question
which delegation shall be recognized
may become one of very great national
importance; even the Presidency, as
John Sherman stated la his letter pro-
testing against the last Republican
apportionment, may depend upon 1t,
as the House will elect President In
the event the electoral college makes
no choice. The Republicans, for the
validity of their apportionment, propose
to rely on the undisputed and undisputa-
BILE lie-no one pretends that It Is
else but q lie--that there
was quorum of the Senate present
when the four Democratic Senators
were unseated. Suppose testimony Is
taken on the point by the court when
it comes before it. Every one of the
thirty-eight Senators and fonr contest
ants, Republicans or Democrat, as well
as the Lieutenant Governor, the Secre-
tary and other officers Of the Senate,
would have to swear there was no quo
rum present. Would not this be bet |
ter evidence than mere parliamentary
raised by the silence Of
the journal that there was q quorum
present? We know the precedents are
against going behind the Journal, but
there never was case Of this character |
in the legislative history OF the country, |
and it may be needful to create new
precedents. ~ Httsburg Post.

The appeal of the Grand Army Post

Republicans for good Republican; the
appeal of the citizens for good citizen,

~ l have made note of this because I
believe that the hollow mockery of the
love Of Republican politicians for the
old soldiers should be brushed aside by
the plain presentation of facts like
these. And, then, old Uncle Billy
Sherman ought to know about how
much weight the three Republican
managers of the Ohio Penitentiary at

Nina's Little Ruse.

| TWO DcauClIul girls, VINO loved eacl
other dearly, ,once went into the country
to rusticate, and having no particular
escort, went pretty far, in order to gel
out of harms way.
Their names were Nina, blond, and
Tessa, a brunette. Neither was mar
ried and neither had any engage
ments to be married, but both sighed
in unison and wished for the lucky
man.
On q certain day fellow arrived,
who was handsome enough to make
them reflect and talk the following
nonsense:
"He is tolerable," said Nina. ~ like
his color, the shape of his head and his
tailor"
"Yes," responded the other, shut he
seems lazy. He smokes like a lime-kiln,
but he appears like a tolerable dancer =
"And his cigars are worth so cents
each, I'm sure" added Lima land he
smokes four. Now, no man can smoke
81 in cigars every day without having 9
bank account Of decent size."
"True, we'll agree that he's rich.
Now, can he make love? I think he
can" She gave prolonged sigh, which
was echoed at once by her friend, and
they both sat at q window and gazed
upon the object Of their admiration,
who, In q white dress Of flannel and q
canvas hat, was lying upon his back
under the trees.
"Tessa,n = said Nina, ''do you know
that my soul inclines to that brute?"
"Does it, indeed" replied Tessa, $50
does mine. He seems totally blind to
our charms, however. He has been
here "a hours now, and has done MOTH
ing but smoke and try to 60 to Sleep"
"Hum, perhaps so. Yes, it is evident
he doesn't care q fg for US, but, Tessa,
do you know that the figurative fruit
exists with me~
/ don't care much, for I am
going to try for him; love away, my
darling gem, but it will go to waste.n
'Indeed! Then, my adorable, I'd have
you to know that I also cast my Ian
eyes hither, and / shall try to
land him."
They apparently came pretty near a
tiff, but they were much too sensible,
as all pretty girls invariably are.
"Tessa, I'll bet case Of claret and
the tickets to Wallack's that hook

quarrel about miserable, wretched
man,

take the bet.n

the present beautiful age, when such
things are possible and delightfully."- fre-
quent.
Tessa successfully made the young
gentlemar's acquaintance about an
hour afterward by turning round the
corner Of the house, screaming, with 4
harmless little skye-terrier ambling be-
hind her.
The valiant sleeper started up, threw
q pebble at the little beast, and then
undertook the labor Of quieting Miss

I.-No, sir. They are led citizens

ex-governor had the goodness to inform

mainder of his life in Washington when
congress was in session, laboring to de-
feat the plans of Dakota people, and he
was inclined to think that more than one
Dakota heart would bleed before he got
through with them. This is because of
the treatment he had received in Dakota.
He is playing his part well, working the
associated press and special reporters to
excellent advantage, and he always has
fresh arrival from among his friends
or servants in Dakota to back his asser-
tlons. The people of Dakota want Gi-
vision and they will take their medicine
