GOVERNOR FORAKER, of Ohio,
created a sensation at Columbus,
O., few days ago in speech
which is said to have been not 80
much political rs it was an expos
ure of the brutalities, ,robberies and
other outrages alleged at the Ohio
penitentiary.. Intense indignation
was created by the mass of people
who heard him when affiIavits
were read, reciting the skinning of
dead bodies of conviots for the
purpose Of merchandise. The
same thing created n big sensation
some years ago when Butler was
governor of Massachusetts, and ex-
posed the Tewksbury asylum

Gov. Hill, of New York, it is
said, proposes an amendment to
the bibie. He suggests that Sat
urday be made legal holiday, set
apart for pleasure, while Sunday,
as now, be dedicated to religious
observances. The Almighty was
of the opinion that man ought to
labor six days and rest one. Some
of the working classes find it diff
cult to get along working six days.
But in this matter of taking Sat
urday for holiday the colored man
and brother is ahead of Gov. Hill.
They started it first. Honor to
whom honor is due. Governor
Hill should turn his attention to
the tariff---or he Bulgarian troub
