Especial to The Plain Dealer.l

COLUMBUS, April 30.-The uncopsti-
tutional and illegal acts of Messrs. Poe
and Ryan in making up the senatorial
districts are to be tested, Senator Lowry
making good his declaration in that re-
gard. This afternoon petition for man
damus and injunction was filed in the
supreme court by John Gallagher a resi-
dent of Hooking county, against James
E. Campbell, governor, Daniel J. Ryan
secretary of state, and Ebenezer w Poe
auditor of state, praying that writ of
mandamus issue against them COM
manding them to proceed to apportion
senatorial representation for the several
districts of the state in accordance with
the constitutional requirements. The
relator claims that under the provis-
ions of the state the above named off,
cials or any two of them are required to
apportion to each senatorial district
having population equal to three
fourths of such senatorial ratio, sena-
torial representation as follows: Each
senatorial1district having such sena-
torial ratio, or such ratio, and senator
at each session of the legislature for the
ensuing ten years; each district having
two such ratios two and three times
such ratio, three, and so on. The re-
lator further maintains that the said
officers failed and neglected to peform
their dutiesas indicated under the con-
stitution and laws of this state, and
unless compelled to do so by an order of
court will continue to neglect to perform
said duties. That they have by their
action assumed to create district of
which the ninth district is to constitute
part in the words following: "The
ninth and fourteenth districts, COM
posed of Athens, Hooking, Fairfield,
Washington, Morgan and part of the
counties of Noble and Monroe shall
form one district and the district so con-
stituted shall be entitled to one senator
in each session and one additional

To Dress Well is Economy.

Well made and perfect fitting garments are
not only pleasing to the eye but they are
made much more serviceable than cheap and
poor fitting garments and therefore cost less
in the long run in purchasing apparel of any
kind. Every man should seek reliable
guarantee of quality, and there is no guaran-
tee better than that of long established sue
cess and honorable reputation. Success and
good reputation come only from honorable
dealing. experience and knowledge, and that
means conscientious regard for every Gus
TONER'S welfare and taste and judgment to
supply them.
We are fairly alive to the fact that our con-
tinued prosperity depends on your good
will, on your confidence, on your satisfaction
with our goods and our methods, and if you
are not already customer we desire to make
you one by proving to you that we know how
to meet your wants, how to advise you safely
in matters of dress, by placing our knowl-
edge and experience at your service, by pleas

Another Lesson from the Sugar Duty.

After the public has learned from
the sugar lesson that the tariff is tax
paid by the consumer it may occur to
it that it will adjust that tax so as to
make it as right as possible. Almost
the entire sugar tax went to the Gov
ernment; it was tax for public uses.
That is why Mr.. Mckinley, legislating
against the public and in favor of pri-
vate interests threw it overheard. On
the same principle be charged the tin
plate tax so that instead of yielding the
Government $5,000,000, and priv
ate parties nothing, it should yield the
Government nothing and private part
les $1,000, 900 or $l5,000,000. So with
the taxes on glass and clothing, and
a hundred other things, which are di-
vided between the Government and
American manufacturers the latter
getting the larger part, Mr.. Mckinley
arranged the matter So that the Gov
ernment should get less and the private
parties get more. After the people have
found out that "the tariff is tax" they
will insist on being taxed only for the
benefit of the Government.-Natio nal

senator in the third and fourth sessions
of the decennial period"
The relator further claims that the
aforesaid officers have no right or power
to create district, because the districts
are created by the constitution of the
state and cannot be changed; that by in
cooperating part of the counties of No
BILE and Monroe in the districts thus as
sumed to be formed and constituted,
without specifing what part or parts
thereof, their action in that behalfis of
no legal validity; that in assuming to
annex any other district or part of
district to the ninth district, they vio-
lated their duty as such officers and their
action in that regard is nugat0ry.
Among other averments the relator
says "that the defendant, James f.
Campbell, has been by said other de-
PENDANTS ordered to cause such pro-
ceedings to be published as and for the
apportionment required by the con-
stitution of the state to be made by
said officers and unless restAined by
the order of this court, said Campbell
will publish said proceedings as and for
such apportionment, that there is no
proper or adequate remedy at law to
redress the injuries complained of
herein and that your relator and the
other electors of this country and dis
trict as well as other districts and
counties of the state will be deprived of
proper and legal senatorial representa-
tion and will suffer great and irrepar-
able injury in the premises unless your

hum, Its Cultivation, Diseases,
Remedies and the Like.

The Kansas Experiment Station, at
Manhattan, has been for three years
in series of Investigations upon sorg-
hum, the principal aims being: The
attempt to find better varieties of sorg-
hum in producing sugar; to improve
we'll known and approved sorts; to Sc
cure both early and late maturing
kinds of good quality, especially the
former, in order to lengthen the season.
Bulletin 16 of this station, for De-
cember, 1890, gives the results of this
work for 1889, including the compari-
tive tests of large number of varie-
ties with analysis of their juice; at
tempts to improve seed by selection,
trials of fertilizers and a study of smut
in sorghum.
The same station has also established
a series of experiments in the culture
of beets.
The season of 1890 was unfavorable to
both sorghum and sugar beets, on ac-
count of both heat and drouth.
Following is the stations summary
of the results obtained.
SORGHUM.
The season of 1890 was very unfavor-
able to sorghum, owing to deficit rain
fall and intense heat during the early
summer, followed by cool, wet wealth
er, eliminating in an unprecedented
killing frost, September 13. This frost
was SO exceptional as to date and so
erratic in distribution, its limit bear
ing no relation to isotherms or latitude,
that it gives ground for the con-
clusion that we are too far north for
successful sugar manufacture from
sorghum.
The selection with view to i'm
prove the varieties, was almost wholly
prevented by the early frost. A COM
parison of the results obtained
for three years in the selection ofspec-
tally good canes, lends encouragement
to the hope that the standard of sugar
content may be permanently raised by
this means.

Jullan Il. Tyler, newly elected member

Rev. Father Puetz addressed the council
to some length in behalf of his church, ask
ing that an clubhouse on the property of
Geo. W. Pardee be removed to at least 80
feet from the sisters residence; that its prox-
unity to said abode to justly class it under
the head of nuisance. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee with pewer to
act.
Mr.. Brown of North Napoleon, asked that
the council give its attention to the poor sys-
tenn of drainage now existing on the street
by his residence. Referred to street commit
to to report at next regular meeting.
Mr.. Tyler brought to the councils atten-
ton the general bad condition of the side
walks about town. 1t was decided to take an
inventory of all defective walks and at the
next meeting pass resolution for the repair
or construction Of all.
A petition was presented signed by Chas.

not condemnation proceedings were manda-
tory ETC., etc.

ment as good, save a thousand feet of hose,
which he recommended to be sold, and inn
proved hose purchased at once. The report
also recommended an appropriation of $50
to defray the expenses of the chief and seven
delegates to the convention at st. Marys, the
10th inst. The report was adopted and placed

til later, while the hose question was taken

Very Well Done.

Auc ClAll- l-uluNh OCucAdl ASociuDlJ
Of Ohio practically completed its labors
Sunday, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When the present Legislature conven-
ed it was confronted with:
l. A practically empty treasury and
deficiency of over $500, 900.
2. The seventeen leading cities Of the
State practically under the control of
the Governor.
8. An unrecognized demand for home
rule.
4. An unrecognized demand for bal
lot reform.
5. An unrecognized demand for an
adjustment of the tax laws.
6. An unrecognized demand for re-
vision, reduction and adjustment ofthe
salaries of county officers.
Z. A general reformation of munich
pal government.
All these were matters of the gravest
import to the voters and tax payers of
the entire state, and as to rhe most of
them the people had been ignored and
treated with neglect for years.
To meet the public expectation and
demand was a task not easily accom-
plished. But the Democratic 69th gen.
eral assembly set about the work pa
tiently, determinedly and intelligently.
What has it done? That is the ques-
ton to which the majority of the legis-
lature must respond.
The treasury is no longer empty.
Instead ofa deficiency, every demand
upon the treasury has been met, and
there is an excess of over 81 100000 In
the vaults of the treasury.
No longer is single city controlled
from the executive Office of the state.
The legislature restored home rule to
every municipality.
A simple and comprehensive ballot
reform has been provided for, the abso-
lutte secrecy of the ballot secured, the
heeler and the bulldozer rendered in
nocuous, and the conscienceless en-
ployer can no longer coerce his en-
ployes into voting against their honest
convictions.
The tax laws have been so adjusted
as to more nearly equaIize the burdens
of taxation; and to crown the work in
this direction, the tax levy has been re
duced $40 of mill, decreasing the to-
tai revenues something like $500,000 a
year, and yet leaving them sufficiently
large to meet every requirement of the
government.
A bill has been passed reducing ex-
cessive salaries in the different coun-
safes amply, it relieves the people of a
heavy burden.
The leading city governments have
been reformed and recognized on the
| lines of home government.
In short, not single demand of an
intelligent people has been ignored or
slighted.
1t has been long time since a gem
eral assembly did so much good work
during its session, and so little evil
The former outweighs the latter infini-
tely.
For years the people have instinc-
lively looked with apprehension upon
the assembling of the legislature, and
hailed its adjournment with unfeigned
delight.
The present one has set different
pattern. 1t restored the confidence of
the people in legislative virtue and
wisdom.
The Ohio Democracy may we'll be
proud of it's representatives in the leg
islature, and the vast majority of the
people, regardless of party, will be sat
istied with its work.

A comprehensive experiment to test
the effect of fertilizers on sorghum, has
shown no marked results this year, as
was to be expected In view of the con-
ditiOns Of growth. The experiment
will be continued from year TO year, the
same fertilizers being applied to the
same plat throughout.
In view of the occurrence of two va
rieties Of smut in our plats in one year,
caution is urged in the introduction of
new varieties, lest destructive contag-
ious diseases be brought in at the same
time.
Crossing ofvarieties deteriorates the
crop.
SUGAR BEETs.
The sugar beets grown do not appear
to be of as good quality as those report
ed to have been produced in other
parts of Kansas and Nebraska. This
may have been due to the unusually
unfavorable climatic conditions of last
summer, or to unsuitability of soil.
Analysis of Individual beets indicat-
ed that maturity, rather than size, de-
termined the sugar content of the beet.
A brown epidermis accompanied high
per cent. of sugar, AS far as our OBJ
servation went, high weight of leaves
as compared with the roots, was no ev-
idence of high sugar-content, but rath-
er the reverse.
