Coming of the Census Taker.

Every person that is animated by throb
of town pride will realize the importance Of
the year that is just beginning to move its
allotted time on the scene of action. This is
census taking year and before the end of 1890
every town and city will have its relations to
the general popula tion squarely defined. The
national enumeration is regarded as infalli-
BILE and decisive, the estimates of population
being fixed until another Federal census is
taken. Therefore the coming of the decen-
ary government enumerator is anticipated
with real anxiety. Every town is ambitious
to appear as great if not greater than its rival
and will swell itself to the fullest proportions.
But there will be no names copied from tomb
stones or other mythical additions, so well
known to directory men, made to this in
ventory of inhabitants. Every citizen will be
counted once and no town will be fattered
by the government agents. In this instance
the axiom, Figures don't lie," will be found
absolutely true. .,-
Every municipality, however anxious to
appear creditsbly in the counting of noses,
will be compelled to depend entirely upon its
own resources, and must stand the test Of
correct addition or be set back. The di.
rectory man is abroad to compliment the
town in which he is doing business and makes
its population to order. But the govern.
ment census -taker is not here for any such
purpose. His mission is to report the mum.
ber of people in this country by actual count
and he will deal only in palpable figures and
living facts. t...,. .....s.
There will be no dodgiAg square issue
with the government census, and boastinl
cities and towns should begin to pare down
their claims before the enumeration comes t.
knock the props from under them.

uSunday Openine."

The Hamilton county delegation, elected
to the legislature under pledge to either re.
peal or modify the provisions of the Owen
Sunday law, have not been successful in Sc
curing that approval by the Democratic
caucus of the bill now in their possession.
This bill gives to all municipalities the
authority to designate, through the city coun-
Gil, the hours for opening and closing sa-
looms, and leaving it optional with city coun-
ellis to ordain for closing saloons on Sunday.
The purpose being to repeal that part of the
Owen law which provides for closing sa-
looms in Cincinnati, as elsewhere, on Sun
day In order to carry their point the Ham,
ton county delegation, or at least some OF
them, wish to ieopardize the interests of the
party, by debating to the other members.
There should be no dictation in the present
Legislature, but what is done should be done
for the interests of the people and especially
for the Democratic party. fit is necessary
and advisable to amend the Owen law let the
caucus decide, as it should upon all other
questions, and its decision should be final,
and we know all good Democrats will ac-
Quiese. In the present general assembly
there are twelve Democrats who was men,
bers of the preceding legislature, when the
Owen Sunday law, as it now stands on the
statute books, was enacted and they are on
record as having voted for the bill. To mod
ify its provisions or to repeal the Law at this
session they will be forced to change their
position. The members are, Messrs. Blue Of
Licking, Brown of Hancock, Donovan OF
Henry, Forbes of Coshocton, Eggerman of
Hardin, Monahan of Vinton, Monnot Of
Stark, Pennell of Brown. Robeson of. Darke,
Dill of Fairfield, Speaker Hysell of Perry,
and Gaumer of Muskingum.: All are men,
bers of the present House except Mr.. Gau-
mer, who is member of the Senate.

Owen Sunday Law.

A special Columbus dispatch to the Be-
says: Senators Ryan and Soncrant have both
introduced bills to amend the Owen Sunday
law, but Representative Day, of Hamilton
county, thinks he has discovered way out Of
the dilemma to the satisfactio of every lib.
eral minded citizen in the State, and will sub
mt his proposition to the caucus tonight
He is opposed to the idea of fleaving the ques
ton to city councils for settlement, as in
that way every citizen would not be fairly
presented. His idea is to enact a law which
will make it mandatory to close saloons OF
Sunday until o'clock p. m, and leave thu
question of their being kept open the remain
der of the day to popular, vote. Mr.. Da!
says he has submitted this plan to leading
men on each side of this issue and that tn,
idea Of popular election meets with thei
approval. If the bill is introduced it vii
leave the question to be voted on at the sprini
election. Several leading Republicans sa!
that they will vote for the bill if this proposi
tion is contained in it.

Let Il be RepeaIed.

One of the greatest impositions ever fast
ened upon an honest and law abiding people,
for political buncombe, is the law giving the
State Auditor power or authority to send a
person into county to examine the books
in the auditors and treasurer's offices. The
person is not required to give bond. and
even the officials themselves have no security
Or assured of an impartial hearing.
The law was made upon the dictation of the
Republican State Auditor to a Republican
Legislature, lobbied by such tricky fellows
as our present Republican county auditor,
who saw in the passage of such law a
chance to carry on his approaching cam
paign at the expense of the hoodwinke tax
payers Of the county. See the injustice and
one-sidedness of the law in question: A Re-
publican county auditor, through Repub-
lican State Auditor, has a Republican come
into our county to nose over the records made
by Democratic oficialsl Is there any justice
or right in such proceeding as this. Has
a set of officials any security from having
their characters blackened at the will of one
partisan? We do not oppose this law be-
cause we have Republican State Auditor,
some day we may have a Democrat in the
position. But whether Democrat or Re-
publican in that position, the law clothes him
with dangerous power which he should not
have. Had the law provided for two persons,
of opposite politics,as examiners, it would not
be 80 bad, butno law of this kind is needed,
as ample provision is already made to carry
on investigations of these two offices. The
law is nothing short of a partisan measure,
and our Democratic Legislators should waste
no time in repeating it. For the good of
the people its repeal is demanded, as it is
also for the protection of public servants.
The Signal, or rather "Interliner George"
says we are opposed to an investigation. We,
or no one else that we know of, is opposed to
having the official records examined. But
we, as all good citizens, demand that it be
conducted fairly, and not partisanally. A
mans character is too dear to him to have a
political enemy destroy it under the COW
and interests should be protected. There
fore, in a case like the one which is now in
progress in this county, we say, in justice to
all parties, two examiners should con-
duct the hearing, and that they should be
chosen from the ranks of the two great po-
litical parties. We know this would not suit
the black and damnable purposes of George
Russell, but it is simple Justice, neverthe-
less.

A Rulteling Rotch.

There is no doubt about it, that the records
in the auditors Office, under the admins
tration Of George Russell are in a bungling
condition. There is scarcely a day but that
we hear of some bungling mistake Or glaring
error which he has made, which puts tax-pay
ers and others who have busineas to transact
in his Office to much inconvenience and may
be pecuniery loss. We are informed that
during tax paying time not a day passed that
Russell did not have changes to make ON the
treasurer's duplicates, until now at settlement
time they present a sorry appearance, being
covered with erasures and additions, and
corrections. The election of Russell. over
such an accomplished and competent man as
DR.. Maerker, is proving dear experiment TO
the people Of Henry county, and it will take
years before the auditors Office is brought
back to the splendid business principles il
was left in on the retirement Of Mr.. Evers.
But il must be done.

wW When George Russell was elected a
Justice in Monroe township he admitted that
he had no requirements for the position, but
had the cheek to accept the responsibility.
He never had any capabilities for the Office
of auditor, but his cheek carried him though
and now the people are paying for it. He is
making sorry work of the duties Of the Of
flee, and instead of looking out for the in
terests and welfare of the county he is, any
thing but that. The interests of some rich
Republican tax dodger or the welfare of the
big State Of Ohio, are paramount to the in
terests and welfare of "Little Henry. y These
are incontrovertable facts, and 90 far as
the people Of Henry county are concerned
they have placed veritable wolf in sleeps
clothing In the auditors Office. He looks
and talks innocent enough, but his heart is
ideceitful. To substantiate this we are will
ing to defray the expense of having the
bumps on the head of prolific George ex-
amined by Prof. Emery, SO sure are we of
being correct. ..:# tIt ;fI

Settlement DELAYED.

On account Of the incompetency and bung-
ling work of the present Republican county
auditor, the settlement with the county treas
urer has been delayed until this late day, to
the inconvsniencc Of the townships, corpora
tions and districts interested in the distribu-
tion Of the money collected as taxes by Treas
urer Waltimire.
Russell has had control Of the treasurer
dup licates since the day upon which tax-pay.
ing wa s stopped, to which he has no lawful
right, the duplicates being the property oi
the treasurer and his safeguard against the
bungling work of such fellows as the Repub.
lican auditor. Who knows to what use these
duplicates have been placed since they left
the treasurer's Office? Russell had been in
the habit of changing them almost daily while
they were in the treasurer's Office, and the
practice might be kept up in his own Office
Is it any wonder then that a settlement il
delayed? Treasurer Waltimire is not q man
to be trihed with, which fact George Russell
has probably learned before this time
Mr.. Waltimire is competent accountant
and no juggling of figures which "Interlinei
George" may make will be allowed to do hin
much good in carrying on his compaign this
coming fell. Mr.. Waltimire knows to pen
ny what money has passed through his Of
fee, which is more than Russell knows con
cerning the business Of his own Office. TIL,
county commissioners should call for Rus
sells resi- gnation at once.
P. S.-'Interliner George" has revised
his figures, and the settlement has been had.

Ledger of March !, series of six articles on

not only those lncects which are useful TO the

orchards, gardens and vineyards. He de-
monstrates how it was scientifically deter
mined that an average annual loss of $780,
100000 has been occosianed in the South by

your dirty lying gang have injured Henry

from settling in our county by your rascally
actions, but have kept out Of the county un-

You have given the outside world to believe
that your county was a vsritable hell itself,

this week has been the vote taken on the To-
cation Of the Worlds Fair to be held in 1892.

exciting, requiring eight ballots to decide the
matter. Upon the eighth ballot Chicago
proved the winner, the vote standing as fol-
lows: Chicago l57, New York le7, st. Loui'

not depend upon thepap which "Interliper"

upon that dispensed by anyother officer. But,
how different with the Signal and its pro

body and britches for paltry few hundred

raise finger to denounce the ineompetency

JUST VERDICT.
HI. NJ. Sigler Convicted of Incest at
Deflance-Verdict Satisfac tory.


FL Especial to the Bee aH
DEFIANCE, Feb. 2l.--One of the most SEN
sationsl and at the same time sad trials that
ever occurred in this county closed here this
morning in the conviction of the accused,
Homer M. Sigler, charged with the henious
crime of incest by his own daughter. Sigler
located here about ten years ago, dealer in
glass and queensware, and at one time was
considered one of our best business men.
For the past few years his trade has gone to
pieces and at the time Of his arrest he was
closing out the balance of isstock preparing
to leave the city. He is the father OF. large
family and his eldest daughter his accuser,
| the crime being 6rst committed when she
was Is years of age while the wife was on q
visit to Dunkirk, n. Y, and continued for
some time thereafter, when she confessed to
her mother who kept the matter a secret TO
protect their good names for nearly two years,
but on account Of his brutal treatment of the
entire family had him arrested in November,
which caused profound sensation OF the
time. There was then some strong talk OF
lynching him, but justice was allowed to take
its course. Since then public opinion has
been somewhat divided. but The verdio,
guilty as charged in the indictment seems tc
give general satisfaction. ,i!t ~

tg Is it not little strange that the farm
ers of Sweden and Norway, Russia and other
countries of Europe, should be able to buy
American agricultural implements at about
one-half the price that farmers here have to
pay for them? This is the true state Of af-
fairs, strange as it may seem, and it is the
tariff that imposes the hardships upon
American farmers. If American manufac-
turers, can afford to sell their wares to
foreigners at given price, is it reasonable to
suppose that they could not afford to sell
them to their conntrymen at the same
price? 1t looks as.if the american system
of protection" as the Republican platform
-characterizes the tariff, were solely for the
benefit of foreigners and the protected bosses
themselves.
