The republicans nf the Ohio Legislature

IA obedience to the matured public >enti-
memt of the people.
The Scott law was the most effective
liquor Enactment ever adopted and applied
in this state, OF in any other state. 1t was
thu only liquor law that was ever enforced
IN Ohio. and. therefore. the only one that
has ever operated fairly and secured the IT,

which ha- just become law. corresponds

that il has been framed Ia 80 completely

the supreme court.
Like. the S,,ott law. il was framed and
passed ia the Interest ot the people; it will
protect public morals and the home: il will

| remember the first introduction of the
telegraph TO China many years ago. For
a long time every means. from moral
suasion TO bribery and corruption, was
used at Peking to obtain permission To
bring the telegraph to Shanghai. No
power could possibly induce the Chinese
authorities to consent. The Great North
ern Telegraph company had cable to
HUngkong They did not say anything.
They quietly laid = cable to the mouth of
the WungpO0 river, fourteen miles below
shanghai. They fixed up telegraph poles
from an Office there down the river side
some distance, and one night they laid the
cable up the river, connected il with their
wires, and the day after they announced
that the Chinese could visit their building
and see it work The Chinese came in
crowds They were asked to send mes
sages 10 HUngkOng To their friends and
they received answers, all free, and inside
of four hours the company discovered that
the Chinese were getting quotations from
Hongkong and speculating on the mar
kets. The company shut up the free show
suddenly and made piles of money, and
the government never interfered with the
telegraph.-San Francisco Chronicle.
