THURSDAY EVENING. ftsRUARY .. 1886
on Went Their Heads.

The new executive of Ohio has sand at
both ends. Kennedy has sufficiently showed
it in the senate, and now Foraker has DEM
onstrated that the good people of Ohio have
a strong bundle of nerves at the head of the
state government
The police commission of Cincinnati was
created by the 0'Myers legislature and the
commissioners were appointed by the
O-Myers governor for the express purpose
of debsuching the election in that city just
as il was debauched. The scheme of it
originated with John Mclean. and the
VIII ole outcome of it was precisely as it had
been programmed by him and his satellites.
The conduct of the police commissioners
was as utterly disgraceful as it had been
planned and expected to be. The appoint-
ment of VIGOROUSLY infamous characters on
the police force WIS neither denied nor de-
Tended The governor, being citizen of
Cincinnati. knew these characters and was
an eyewitness OF their scandalous behavior.
There could he no defense ON the part of the
commissioners for their appointment, and
none was attempted.
But when the charges were iiled against
diem. they got sick. all three of them, and
put in motions for delay of their trial.
These diStory motions had a purpose. 1t
has trsnspired shat they had arranged TO
resign one by one while the motions for dc
iay were pending. and allow the board that
appointed them 20 substitute others, one by

resignation was 10 begin Wednesday at
O'Clock p. m
But promptly at l O'Clock p. m the
governor swung his ak and whaeked of all
their heads az once He had the power to
do this, unthcsightedly provided in the statute
which had created them. He exercised it
on his personal knowledge of the facts in
the case

basket. and the tails are talking fTsnticaily

and had doubtless read the enabling statute
with more or less care when he took the
eNecutioner's AK in hand.
At any rate, the police commissioners are
out: and they viii have a sweet fight with
the state II they let in again.
The Gang is on the run. II there may be
a whisper aloud. we beg leave to aspirate,

People who give attention to little things
have frequently noticed in the last two or
three years the fact that while new nickels,
dimes and silver DALLAS are common enough,
the quarters and half dollars are more or
less worn. An explanation of the circum-
stance is found in the statement recently is
sued by the treasury, that no quarters on
halves have been coined since 1878. The
least worn of these pieces have been sub
jected, therefore, to seven years use, and
the amount of silver that can be taken off
by successive handlers during this time is
by no means incopsidersbIs.
