THE QUESTION IN THE OHIO LEG
ISLATURE.

The issue as to whether the ruling of
Lieutenant Governor Kennedy, of Ohio,
is correct in refusing to allow holders of
contested seats in the Senate to vote on
questions of organization and matters af-
fecting their legal status in the Senate,
would appear to have been settled by par
liamentary precedent. In 1889 there were
five contested seats from New jersey in
the lower house of Congress- The House
was in the throes of organization, with
nearly even division of party forces, and
all depending upon the right of the hold
ers of the contested seats to vote. By
vote of 1l9 to 1l2 the decision was given
against the claim of the contestants of the
right to vote. In the Thirty-seventh Con-
gress this precedent was respected, as in
deed it had been all along. In that Con-
grcss (1S60) there were contested seats,
and Hon. Thad Stevens of Pennsylvania, the
great commoner, suggested that on organ
ization questions the holders of the seats
should not vote. To this the House agreed,
and it was the order No one even suggested
that this was not right practice. In 1875
Mr.. Lamar, then on the floor of the House,
referred to these precedents as having
been crystallized into parliamentary law.
The issue between Lieutenant Governor
Kennedy of Ohio and the four Hamilton
county Democrats in the Senate. whose
certificates are attacked as fraudulent and
the results of forgery and the meanest
sort of corruption, is precisely that which
was raised in Congress in 1889 and 1860.
General Kennedy, as presiding officer of
the Senate, on the call of the regular
order, the trial of the Hamilton county
fraud cases, ruled that the holders of the
seats contested in those cases could not vote
upon the questions involved-an appeal
from his decision that to take up the cases
was in order, being taken. But the Clerk
called their names and recorded the votes.
The Chair erased the names and then de-
| clared the result i. e., that the Chair had
been sustained. Thereupon the Democrats
withdrew from the Senate, motion to
adjourn having been put by the Clerk and
declared carried. But General Kennedy
kept his seat and refused to recognize a
motion put by the usurping Clerk, and the
Republican members remaining also in
their seats, the Senate proceeded to adopt
the rules for the trial of the case, and at
the conclusion adjourned. This is the is
sue that was made January 18th, and out
of which have arisen all the troubles re-
ferred to by our dispatches. Since the
25th of January there has been contention
at Columbus, disgraceful and demoralizing,
rump Senate being set up, and defiant
positions taken against constituted author
ity. Now, however, an agreement has
been reached. A committee has been
united upon to proceed to Cincinnati and
take the testimony in the cases of the al
legged frauds, and both parties in the SEN
ate agree to rest upon their arms and to
await the report of the committee.

are protected sufficiently against Euro
pean cheap printing by the 25 per cent.
imposed upon foreign books. Now this
statement fairly presents question which
a few years ago had no public attention,
but is now most prominent one. The
classes affected are: First, the foreign au-
thors and publishers, who are prey to
whomsoever chooses to appropriate their
work. Second, the American printers,
binders and paper-makers, who claim that
if foreign book is given copyright here.
it is only fair that the book should be pro-
duced here by our own workmen and man
ufacturers. Third, the importers of
books, who want neither phase of
copyright to obtain, for the one
will kill their business, and the
other will give it over to a few
powerful firms able to make terms with
foreign authors and publishers Fourth,
the book-buyers of America, who have a
right to buy books cheapIy Fifth, the
American authors who have the same
right to encouragement and protection as
American inventors and by reciprocal
copyright be protected from theft in for
eign countries. These point out that re-
ciprocity will give the printers, biEders
and paper-makers at home much more
business by increased circulation of their
work abroad, while the home market for
American books will be vastly increased,
for the ability of the American author to
secure the rewards of his genius abroad
will lessen the margin of profit he is
forced to demand from the limited home
consumption. All the probabilities are
that if any measure on the subject becomes
law by action of the present Congre S
it will be that having attached the print
ing clause. To such modification the
American Copyright League, how
ever, refuses to give its consent.
While it is not representative of the senti-
ment of all authors and writers of promi-

not enough to defeat the passage of such a
bill. Our own belief is that the truest
policy is that advocated by those in favor
of unrestricted copyright, but we confess
that there is such strength in the opposing
view as to carry with it the law-making
powers. At least the modified measure
will be vast improvement upon the pres
ent system, and will take the sting out of

IT has been demonstrated that the use of
steam whistles upon locomotives and
steamboats, is very costly. The waste of
steam increases the cost of fuel, Thus on
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad line it is shown that in the run
of single train the extra fuel consumed
by reason of the whistling required,
amounted to $50 pounds. On that rail-
way line the cost of steam whistling is
placed at $4,000 a year. Now here is an
opportunity for inventive genius. Who
ever will devise means of producing the
necessary sound Of alarm without the
great cost referred to will aid railway econ
omy and lay up for himself fortune from
the royalty for his originality.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF POETRY AND PROSE
Edited by Francis +. Browne with an Intro
duction by Richard Henry Stoddard New
York and st. Louis: n. D. Thompson & Co.
This large handsomely, bound quarto is
being presented, by subscription, to literary
tastes in Sacramento and elsewhere. Its
careful examination has gratified us. 1t
comprises very choice selection of poems
and prose extracts from the works of lead
ing American and British authors, running
back through the annals of literature some
five hundred years in the former case. In
short the selections fairly represent the
field of English literature for five centu-
ries. Such collection must, of course
embrace vast number of the lit
erary gems of the English language, and
represent an almost countless number of
books. To possess even a fair library is
not within the capacity of all ; and, on even
the better stocked shelves, we do not ex-
pect to find more than a score or so of
works of English and American poets. To
nearly all such a literary wade mecum as
this handsome volume constitutes, is pos
sessed of high value. In the rapid increase
of books one is almost lost in the choos-
ing possess al. he cannot, nor should he.
But he cannot have even a 1.-THE of those
desirable. If he would maintain a refer
ence library he must have the purse of
great wealth and the devotion of the book
worm. In self-defense the general reader.
and notably those not having access to
great libraries, must have resort to COM
pendiums, of which the volume under no.
tice is notably a successful one-a book we
should prefer to cali the thought volume,
the half hour restful volume. the book of
wisely-chosen and broadly representative
literature-most largely poetical. Mr.. Stod-
dard thus speaks of the volume of Mr.
Browne, to which he gives the sanction of
his own eminent name: The process of
separating the good from the bad is always
going on. and with it the process of con-
densing the good into the best. That both
processes were known to the ancients j. as
evident from their anthologies as from our
own. These miscellanies were
the store-houses of the poetic wealth of the
time, drawn from the treasures of its intel
lecIual kings and mobiles. The
scope of such books. which are too abund-
ant tor enumeration, has gone on broad
ening from that day Ezra of Percy's Rel

He is more than foolish who shuts his
eyes to to the fact that labor is better and
being better organized to-day than at any
time heretofore, and that this organization
is OF character not to be nonchalantly
treated. The wage-winners of the coun-
try are demonstrating their capacity to
consider the governmental and social
economic problems of the day calmly and
philosophically, and in that very fact is
found the safety of the hour. The wage
winners are mighty factors in every scheme
of the republic, and that they are debating
and celebrating upon the leading issues
of the day, applying to them the calm of
reason, and avoiding the wordy vaporings
of the demagogue and mere partisan, is
one of the most hopeful and healthful
signs of the progress of the period. Who
ever wishes well for his country must de-
sire to see the laboring people of it well
informed upon public topics, calm in de-
liberating upon them, and philosophically
capable of digesting them and acting with
manly independence and dispassionately.
The day for swaying the laboring masses
by the windy harangues of demagogues at
the hustings has, possibly, gone by. At
least, let us hope so; for under the organ
ization going on, the disreputable, dis
orderly element, that has seized upon the
garb of socialism to effect nefarious ends,
is being sunk out of sight, and its vicious
purposes rendered impossible of achieve
ment.

A FOREIGN ESTIMATE.

In the Circular of Information No. 3.
issued from the Bureau of Education, De-
partment of the Interior, Washington, is
an epitome of the invaluable report of the
English Commission on Technical Instruc-
ton. In that paper is reference to the
report of William Mather, who spent six
months in the United States by direction
of the Commission, for the purpose of study
ing our schools and factories. The Com
missioners thus comment upon Mr.. Math-
ers report to them, and in it we obtain
glimpse of the estimate of foreigner of
such progress as we have made in tech
nical education:
Mr.. Mather assigns greater influence on Amer
lean manufactures to the general education of
the American people, derived from their com
mon schools than to their technical schools the
Importance of which latter, however. in the
framing Oh civil engineers has been experienced
for some years though it has only more recently
become recognized by those who are engaged in
mechanical engineering and in metailurgical
and manufacturing establishments of various
KINDS. This recognition is, however now be-
coming universal. decided preference is be-
ing given in the United States for the positions
OF managers and heads of departments to per
sons who have received a scientific training in
technical school, and the plan is followed in
plication with instruction in pure Science Al
though the conditions of American industry
differ in many respects from our own. there can
be no doubt that we may derive great advantage
from careIui study OF what is being done in
the way OF technical instruction in the United
States.
