There is small need TO add 10 the emolu-

The Gazette is not impressed with the
advisability of the Legislature interfer-
ing with home rule in cities by means
of so-called ripper bills" There is
more important legislation requiring
attention. The same remark will apply
to the project of purchasing residence
for the Governor until Ohio's finances
exhibit surplus instead of deficit
Lancaster Gazette.
This is the first instance recorded by
any Republican paper since tho Presi-
dental campaign opened that has come
under our notice, which gave any sign
of return TO reason or u practical
thought upon practical business-like
conduct OF National or State govern
,nent. It is small ray of light and the
editor must have an immense amount Of
nerve to turn against the heavy tide OF
n swollen stream of conducting these
affuirs upon "boom" principles. What
is your opinion about the financial abili-
" of our State government in tho past
centennial year, in which defects only
are reported in every branch? Is it not
time to call halt and make straight
issue in the election of official. whose
sworn and obligated duty 1t shall be TO
investigate the situation?

CLEVELAND. o., Jan. GA Leader
special from Mansfield, D., says: Ash
land county is experiencing the troubles
that follow the immunity of murderers
from punishment.
A year ago last October W. ii. Rey-

was shot and killed by James Mason. He
and his brother Calvin were indicted for
the murder but were acquitted.

the custody Of their father, resisted the
execution Of writ OF hsbeas corpus and
shot and killed Constable William III.

Four OF the brothers, Elias, Wesley, Adam
and John and Mervin, the Son of Wesley,
we're jointly and separately indictid for
the murder of each. Elias, who confess

was frat tried for the murder Of Kelly and
acquitted of the charge. The indictments
againet two OF the others was nollie1 and
the rest were admitted to bail on the re-

Between IL and IL o'clock on Friday

murdered officers lived, was occupied by

took complete possession, and began firing
guns aud revolvers and ordering every

AS far back rs 1879 the JOURNAL took
decided grounds against tho disposal OF
the public lands to railroad or other
corpora'ions-claiming that there was
plenty of idle capital in the country
seeking paying investments and would
construct the roads as fast as business
twould make them profitable. The Ma
,ional Republican platform at that
time condemned and said the Republic
can party was opposed to such disposi-
tion of tho public domain. But the
party manipulators failed to recognize
this pledge of the party to the people
and voted away every acre of the pub
tic domain that the lobbies asked for.
We copy in another column an article
from the Lincoln, Neb., Journal which
fully sustains the position by this paper
in 1872.

BOND VOTING IN THE WEST

Uincoln, Neb., Journal,l
A timely and lorcible warning against
hNsty and excessive bond voting in aid
Of railroads is the most important feature
of ,he message of Governor Martin OF
Kansas. The facts which lie presents as
TO that state are more or less characteris-
tic Of all the western statea. Railroad
bonds have been voted to AN extent which
can not possibly be justified by the growth
oi the country and the rate OF increase in
property valuation. There WAS time,
undoubtedly, when such Inducements
were necessary TO secure proper railroad
facilities; but 1t is possible to have rail-
roads which cost more than they are
worth. When taxes are increased to an
extent which crippels industry and dis
courages investment 1t il certain that too
much ia being paid Tor alleged public ad-
vantages; aud this condition seems to
have been nearly, If not quite, reached in
several OF the western states. The in
debtedness in the form OF railroad bonds
outweighs tho benefits derived from the
construction OF competing lines. PoSsibly
tie roads would have been built II this

likely that ia majority Of instances
they were built for the bonds rather than
