that they might receive their share Of the

1t will be noticed that while he refused even
shc rutli,ncnts OF an English education to
poor children in White Hall, he paid money
for eight months to The AbbcriIc High
School, to which poor children were admitted
for only fractional part OF the time.

ouTwiTTED DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of the Ohio Senate have
been outwitted, and are now fastening back
to the capital from the place of their volun-
tary exile, breathing out threatening and
slaughter. 1t happened in this wise. When
the Democrats fled they left one of their num-
Der on guard to raise the question of quo
rum. One morning he heard that the Repub-
llcans had succeeded in capturing another
Democratic Senator, who with him and the
Republicans would make quorum. There
fore he concluded he must absent himself to
break quorum, and accordingly did SO.
But the rumor that another Democrat had
been secured was false, and when the Re-
publcans met they found themselves in sole
and undisputed possession. There was no
Democrat there to raise the point OF lack of
quorum and call for a count. So they or
ganized and Immediately proceeded to seat
the Republican Senators from Hamilton
county AS matter of fact, there was not
quorum present, but the record does not
show it as the point was not raised, and all
the proceedings appear to be regular. And
it is the general opinion that the courts cas-
not 90 behind the record, so that all the pro-
eeedings will have to be accepted as legal
The body, now that the four Hamilton coua-
ty Senators have been admitted, has quo
rum, and business is proceeding regularly.
The fugitive Democratic Senators contend
of course, that the sctlon of the Republicans
is null and void and threaten to set up an OPP
position Senate. But as the State officials
and the House both recognize the Repubii-
can Senate it is hard to-see what such Il pro-
ceeding will amount to, except to add to the
ridicule which has already been heaped upon
them on account of their cowardly and alb
surd flight. The wisest thing to do would be
to seek the obscurity of their own homes, or
admit like little men that they have been
outmaneuyred at every point

Nova Scotia seems fast coming to the con-
clusion that she made bad move when she
Joined the Dominion, and good many OF
her people-whether the majority or not re-
mains to be seen-would like to secede.
Nova Scotis's interests are so different from
those of the rest of the Dominion, especially
the western provinces, that it was inevitable
that laws that fostered the latter should hurt
the former. The protective tariff has helped
the western provinces, but it has crippled
Nova Scotia by compelling her to buy in the
Dominion when she could buy more eheaply

The good effects of employers taking their
employees into their confidence and explain
ing the state of their business and what the
result of any proposed move would be is
shown in the case Of Mr.. Steinway, the
piano manufacturer, and his workmen. They
demanded reduction to eight hours with
the same pay as for ten. Mr.. Steinway
called them together and showed them what
II cost to make a piano and what the SELL
ing price was. He then showed them
thath the hours were reduced pianos could
not be manufactured unless the selling price
was increased. Then he showed them that
the selling price could not be increased be-
cause OF the competition of foreign manufac-
turers who would not be affected by the
elsnt hour movement. Most of the workmen
saw tne point and withdrew their demand.

A TOO FREE CRITIC.
Boston Transcript
British Minister Sackville- West is altogeth-
er too free in his criticism of Congress and
individual Senators. In an interview with
the representative of a Washington paper he
really does not seem to care what he says"
OF Congress, this hot-headed minister re-
marks that it ''has denounced the treaty Of
1854; it has denounced the fishery articles Of
nothing, leaving us to fall back upon the
miserable old treaty of 1878" 1t wouldn't
be surprising il Congress had something TO
offer upon this breach of international ETH
quette by the British minister. What would
be thought of an American minister at Lon
don who singled out members Of Parliament
for disparaging criticism, and then spoke OF
Parliament, collectively, in fiippant tone OF
derogation?

The opponents of prohibition in Rhode
Island have begun to fight the prohibitory
amendment adopted at ttaRecent election in
the courts. A bill equity has been drawn by
which it Is sought to inquire into the con-
s,sisitsntjf6Thiity of the vote by which the
amendment was carried. The point at issue
is, whether in the voting, and in the count
ing Of votes, and in the matter of the record
thereof, there is proof that the amendment
was approved by the number of voters quail
fed to vote required by the constitution. The
petitioners claim that registered but unqual-
flied voters voted upon the amendment and
that there was no lawful tally kept. The
disqualification alleged is that the payment
of the poll tax which is a condition prece-
dent for voting was, in great many cases,
not made by the voter himself but by some
other person in his behalf and that this is
not substantial compliance with the law.
The controversy over the seizure of the
Adams will doubtless be settled without
war. If the two parties to it cannot AMIGA
bly, agree upon satisfactory settlement be-
tween themselves both Of them will undoubt-
eddy be ready to arrange an arbitration of
some sort. But the occurrence cannot fail
to remind as of urinability to enforce our
rights II purchance the power with which we
are dealing should be disposed to trample
upon them. We have no navy worth talk
ing about, and our coast defences are so out
of date that they could oppose no effective
resistance to power provided with armored
ships and modern guns. The present dis
pute ought to awaken renewed attention to
our defenceless condition and lead to steps to
remedy t. We are liable to have controver-
sizes with nations of less friendly disposition
than Great Britain, and we ought to be pre-
pared for them. Some of our surplus which
it is proposed to dump into the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers might be used to much
better advantage on the Notifications along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
