The Ohio legislature is likely to bt

The Ohio legislature is likely to be
called upon to consider a number Of
amendments to the Dow liquor tax law.
There is well-defined sentiment in
favor of raising the tax from 500 to
$500, but the move is not popular in the
larger cities. such as Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and Toledo, and as the members
from those places can nearly control
majority IN either house, it is likely that
compromise measure will be adopted
giving each township or municipality
the right to fix the amount for itself. 1t
would be just as well for the Republicans
of Ohio to go slow in tinkering with the
matter as past experience has shown
that legislation which is not upheld by
the public sentiment OF the state is sure
To prove dangerous boomerang.

THE plan for uniting 81. Paul and Min
neapolls under one municipal govern
ment Is being mildly agltated. To an
outsider the scheme appears impracti-
cal. In the first place the two cities are
too far apart TO ever make II convenient
or desirable call the two u single clty-at
least for Il century to come. Further,
the plan would only serve to increase
and pertetuate the jelousies between the
two. Inasmuch as no legislation sugges
ted would be Likely To benefit both ends
equally there would be a continual dog
eat-dOg fight and the interests of both
would suffer. The present agitation is
doubtless in the interests of real estate
holders between the cities

YOUNG REPUBLICANS.

Senators Evarts. Hawley and Chan.

dress the Baltimore Club.
BALTIMORE, Md. Jan. 25.-The Young
Mems Republican Club gave banquet
this evening. The visiting guests, of
whom there we're many, were welcomed
in few words by Mr.. Geo. I. Bags.
The toast to which ali the speeches were
addressed was the National Republican
Party" Senator Evarts, Of New York,
was the first speaker. lie said the
weakening of the Republican party,
which lost the presidency in 1884, was
due TO the flippant generation of to-day,
who thought all had been done by their
fathers from 1850 mp that should be
done, and hoped the young Republicans
would 60 to work and redeem the coun-
try, as their fathers had done.
Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, said
that if the Republicans were true to
themselves and to the minority states in
the South, there would be no difficulty
in securing victory next fall.
Senator Hswley, of Connecticut, saw
two classes of men-one who, when
slavery was abolished, accepted the SIT
nation; the others were those who OPP
posed the abolition ofthe negroes bond
age. He knew to which party the form
er belonged, and to which the latter
class. and he knew, too, which man he
would put on the supreme bench of the
United States If he had the power.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
said that If the 18th amendment, which
was injected by the Republican party,
and therefore should be taken care of
by them. were enforced in the South
next fall, il would be easy to elect
James G. Blaine [great applausel or
some other great Republican rs Presi-
dent.
Addresses were also made by James
P. Foster, president of the National Re-
publican League Club, of New York,
Hon. Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan;
Hon. Joseph 6. Cannon, of Illinois;
Hon. Green b. Raum, of Indiana; Judge
Carry, Of Wyoming Territory, and many
other prominent Republicans.

Fidelity Harper, who is now sojourning

lT has remained for Judge j. r. Kim
ney, agent of Iankton Soiux Indian
agency, to tell the biggest story about
the late Dakota blizzard. Some of his
warns deserve 10 be STYLED able bodied
lies, and his estimate that 1000 people
lost their lives in the storm in that Ter
ritory alone is the boss cold weather
story. The fact that the Judge claimed

AS LIKE AS PEAS.

10 He Editor:
In abject subservience to the Southern
dictatiCn Grover Cleveland's is an exac,
copy of the Buchanan reign. If there
is any marked difference i'm the cabi-
nets the odds in point of ability are in
favor of the Buchanan cabinet. II
would have been scarcely possible, even
with so subservient president AS was
old Buchanan, to have fastened upon
him by his Southern masters so utterly
inefficient u secretary of state as the
Chevalier Bayard, whose only passport
to public honors is a grandfalher's repu.
tation, or one who could have given the
country worse or more inefficient pos
tai service than swell.head Villas has
given, and even Buchanan's attorney
general, though proving with the
present incumbent consplrator against
the Union, was not clothed like Garland
with Pan Electric corruption. Nor
were the committees In Congress ar
ranged with any more direct reference
or Difference to the wishes and dictation
of the Southern rushers of the party
than under the Cleveland admiuistra-
ton to the dictation of the rebel briga-
diers who constitute LIE ruling element
of the country under the Cleveland
dynasty. Now, as then, the old slave
states have controlling voice in shap-
ing all legislation In the Congress or
House of Representatives The states
that rebelIed and took up arms to de-
stroy the Union are stronger in commit
tees than the loyal states. Below is a
list of twenty Of the most important
committees, the chairman of every one
being from the Solid South and In most
cases a majority of the members are
from that section:
Carlisle, Kentucky-Speaksr.
Mills, Texas-Committee Ways and
Means.
Bland, Missouri-Coinage.
Clardy, Observation-Disclosures
- Blanchard, Louisiana-Rivers and
Harbors.
Dunn, Arkansas Merchant Marine
and Fisheries.
Hatch, Observation-Disclosures
Herbert, Alabama-Naval Affairs.
Blount, Georgia-Postoffices

McCrerry, Kentucky-Private Land
Claims.
Hemphill, South Carolina District of
Columbia.
With the Speaker anu twenty of
the most important committees in their
control and so fair representation on
the rest of the committees, who can
doubt but that the Solid South is not
under the Cleveland admin
istration, the ascendency il held
under Buchanan's reign, or at the close
of the present administration will not
be better able than ever to carry out
rebel desire for destroying the Union.

\ New story of Lincoln.

At dinuer party the other evening
| heard q story of President Lincoln
which was new to me. 1t was told
by the Rev. DR. Novrse, of this city,
who said that the President was very
much annoyed by the persistence Of
certain member Of Congress named
jerry Smith, who haunted him con-
tinually wherever he went with appli-
cations for Office on behalf of his con-
-titueals- One day a delegation of
clergynen called upon Mr., Lincoln
20 pay their respects, and one of them
asked him if he ever sought counsel
and guidance from the Lord during
hat time. Of sshis great responsibility
tand anxiety.
"Yes, replied Mr. Lincoln, 'I pray
every night before | retire. | think
of the hundreds of thousands of sold
iers campel in the South the boys in
blue as we'll as the boys in gray, and
pray chat the one may be supported
in their Efforts to preserve the Union,
and the other shown the error of their
unholy strife. [ think of the thou
sands Of deserted homes in the North,
Of the thousands Of weeping women
and fathcrIcss children, and | pray
God to give them strength to bear
/ their berea Tements, and the wisdom
to see that their husbands, sons and
fathers have died fighting for the
right. [ think of my responsibility
and pray for strength and wisdom.
