Hoosier-Buckeye Dispute.

A Washington dispatch dated March Goth
says:
Several state boundary disputes have been
amicably settled of late years, like out
come may fairly be expected for two that are
now pending. One is between Ohio and
Indiana, the former urging that her line
ought to run farther west. Should Ohio es-
tablish this claim, the strip of Indiana an
nexed would be very narrow; yet, as it would
extend the whole length of the common
boundary, the transfer of good deal of land
and population would result. 1t would take
off {, 900 of the Hoosier Democratic majority,
hence Governor Hovey of indianapolis, is
for yielding it up, and it would likely make
Ohio Democratic state, therefore, Governor
Campbell is anxious to secure it.
Professor Z. @. Mendenhall is now said to
be surveying the line under the Govern
ment's direction, and if Ohio gets it the ces-
sion of this territory may revolutionize the
politics of the country and knock the aspira-
tions of divers noted politicians. 1t will play
sheol with Congressional states and county
barnacles in both states, and make terrible
upheaval in the body polite. Persons in a
position to know state that Ohio's claim is
undoubtedly good, and new historical facts,
Just ascertained, and some old surveys that
have been lately discovered indicate that
Indiana will lose rich part of her soil. The
other controversy is between Pennsylvania
and her little neighbor, Delaware, and there
the land in dispute is onlya triangular tract
of a few hundred acres.
Delaware was formerly part of Pennsyl-
vania, Penn having bought it from the Duke
of York, in whose grant of New Netherland
it had been included; and although he after
ward gave Deputy Governor, and then even
aseparate legislature, Ito the three counties
forming Delaware, they remained under the
Governor of Pennsylvania until the Revolu-
tion. 1t is fortunate that the tract now in
dispute is not extensive, for the people have
hitherto been under the laws of Delaware,
and should the case go against her she could
not we'll spare a larger cantle from her
scanty area. 1t would be another instance
of the one who hath not much losing part
Of that little to the one having already
enough.

The Light Spreading.

Whereas, The farmers of the Pacific coast
use about 35,000,O00 grain bags each year
and, whereas, of that number only 5,000,00C
are of home manufacture and do not affect
the price of imported sacks; and whereas,
the tax upon materials of which these sacks
are made is almost entirely collected on the
Paclhc coast; and, whereas, the tariff tax i'm
posed upon grain bags has not increased the
number of white laborers employed in such
industry, and has not increased the wages of
any employee, but has only resulted in an in
crease of the cost of the article to consumers;
Therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Senate, the Assembly con-
curing, That our Senators and Representa-
tlves In Congress be requested to use all
honorable means to have the duty on grain
bags. burlaps, gunnies or gunny cloth abol-
ished.
Had Democratic legislature adopted the
above preamble and resolution there would
be no occasion for surprise and perhaps not
for comment. But when it is offered by a
Republican and adopted by Legislature
which is overwhelmingly Republican there is
great cause for rejoicing among advocates of
tariff reform. To the California Legislature
which is Overwhelmingly Republican, be-
long the credit of the above strong endorse
ment of the Democratic platform of 1883.

THE LIME KILN CLUB.
A Report That Brother Gardner Sat
Down On.

Professor Singletree White, chairman
of the committee on finance, reported
as follows:
"Your committee has traced de use

"First-Expand de currency until de

"Third-make a days work six hours

"Fourth-Bring de price of white

Waydown Bebee, Shindig Watkins,
Whalebone Howker, Giveadam Jones
and others spoke very strongly on the
question of adopting the report, but
Brother Gardner arose and said:
"Dat report will be set down on an
laid on de table indefinitely. IT. too

Roads aud Road-Making.
From Harper's Weekly. |


Whether Governor Hill resigns OF
retains the Governorship, there is one
act of his administration which will
be regarded with favor by good citi.
zens of all parties. IL is his interest
in road-making, and his urgent rec
ommendation that the State of New
York take action to secure roads worthy
of her greatness and prosperity. A
State Roads Improvement Association
has ben formed, and its first annual
meeting, recently held in Syracuse, was
largely attended, and Senator Rich
ardson, of Orange County explained the
bin which has been introduced in the
Legislature and bears his name.
Mr.. Richardson's argument was ad-
dressed mainly to the farmers. He
cited statistics to show that the farmers
pay only about eight per cent. of the
State tax. He would have the labor of
criminals, paupers, and tramps utilized
upon the roads, and about sixty miles
of road in each county built by the
State. One good roadrunning through
every county in the State would
stimulated local enthusiasm in the
construction of roads which would soon
give every county satisfactory system.
1t is obvious that no class of the
community more vitality interested in
roads than the farmers and all indus
tries which require heavy teaming.
No public works enhance the reputa-
ton, and consequently the prosperity,
of.a neighborhood SO promptly and so
largely as good roads. They are the
first necessity of civilization, and the
surest signs of its advance. Good
roads, good schools, and good govern
ment are closely related, and the proof
of saving public spirit in any COM
munity is its willingness to make its
local communication as convenient
and easy as possible. There is no surer
sign Intelligence in such a communi-
ty than the resolution that its local
taxes, which are largely devoted to
road-making, shall be spent only by
men whe understand that good roads
are not made by ignorance and care
lessness, but by intelligence and ex-
perience.

A Dream That was not all a Dream
BY a Large Majority.

1t appears from the dispatches from
New York that a lawsuit will be begun
shortly which involves a strange story
of romance aud mystery. The plaint-
i'll is client of Lawyer Benjamin Pat
terson. Mrs. Grace Bushnell is her
name. She is in the prime of life,
comely and Intelligent. Her home is
at Greenbush, near Albany. Mrs.
Bushnell is the widow of the late Fran
els Bushnell, who served in the Ninth
New York Cavalry. Bushnell entered
the army as q private. AT the end of
the war he retired with the rank of
Major. He settled down in Upper New
York, married the present Mrs. Bush
nell who was his second wife, in 1867,
and he died withuot issue in 1888.
Mrs. Bushnell's first visit to Lawyer
Patterson occurred Jan. 4. She intro
duced herself as the late Maj. Bush
nell's widow, and said that she had a
vague sorts of idea that n large estate
at Port Richmond, r l., belonged to
her.
"New Years Eve,n she explained" l
fell asleep while looking into the fire.
/ dreamed that my husband appeared
at my side. He said: "Gracie, you are
poor and ought to be rich. There is a
big estate at Port Richmond which be
longs to you. 1t belonged to me while
l lived, but 1 never told you about it,"
Finally Lawyer Patterson was inn
pressed by the annoying persistency of
the woman and he caused an invest
igation to be made. Imagine his as
tOnishment on discovering two remark
able facts. In the first place he found
that there was such an estate as the
one described, and, second, that Mrs.
Bushnell had claim for dover in it.
The records for habeas corpus proceed
ings in this county disclosed that the
child "a girl who was supposed to be
the heir to the property was not the
daughter of Maj. BushnelPs brother,
who was legally entitled to it. The
papers in the case show that the child
was a daughter of lady whose hus-
band had deserted her and gone West.
Action will now be brought by Lawyer
Patterson to establish Mrs. Grace
BushneI's right to the estate in Port
| Richmond.
