THE COST OF THE EXPERIMENT

THE COST OF THE EXPERIMENT.
The cost of the last Legislature has
been footed up and has been found
to have been the most expensive in
the history of the state. The to-
tai appropriations of the Democrat
ic Legislature during Hoadlv's ad-
ministration foOts up s6.442. .S59. The
appropriations during Foraker's admin
istratiOn, large part of which were dc
voted to pulling the State out of the
hole into which the Hoadly regime had
dragged it. were s6,2l3,303 during the
first term, and s6,399,73O during the
second term. Now the Campbell-Brice
Legislature turns in an expense account
to the State of S7,169,5S2 All these
appropriations are named for the general
revenue fund.
Thus it is seen that the Sixty-ninth
General Assembly has cost the State
tutSc-iudIl6Io VI mllIlOu mOIe JndH
Hoadly's, and nearly a million more
than Foraker's. This has been done too
without in the least increasing the gen
eral revenue of the State. Under Fora
ker's administrations the general reve-
nue. was augmented 100000 per an
mum from the Dow Law tax. Under
the last, not a cent was added, but ev-
erything was taken out that was nova
BILE. Such is the history of the coming
of the Campbells and his Legislature.
Such is the history of Democracy. The
people of Ohio will not, it is safe to say,
try like experiment soon again.

THE Eastern Democrat who is fol
freee trade and the Western Democrat
who is for free silver represent two
great lunatical ideas on which the
Democratic party is going to pieces.
Their differences are utterly irreconcila-
bic. Like oil and water, the two things
will not mix. The popular judgment
on the party that would advocate both
free trade and free silver would be that
it is altogether too free.

IT now looks like the Democrats
would grasp the plan, which the Repub-
licans have discarded as impoiitic, and
declare at their State Convention on a
choice for Senator. BY the reported
dieker between Campbell and Neal, the
latter will come in for that endorsement.
Still such an endorsement in this year
of grace will, indeed, seem cold cheer
after the votes are counted in November,
and if Neal or anyone else can find con-
ISOLATION in such procedure, no one will
deny him the boon.

THERE is one remedy which every

worst cases never had to give more than
the third dose to effect cure; in most
cases one dose will do; besides its other
good qualities, it is pleasant to take" 25

A BAD POLITICAL GUIDE

A BAD POLITICAL GUIDE.
The jewel of consistency is one among
others which the Gazette does not possess
Two weeks ago it was loud in opposition
to the CARRIER salary bill, using the strong
words"bunglesome," ""ill considered and
unjust" Those were well chosen words,
and we agree with the Gazette in using
them. But our contemporary is unstable
as water. Last week it arraigns Senator
Nichols and Representative McKelvey
for not supporting this unjust and
sill considered" measure, and it finds
fault, too, with the Republican people
and press of this county, because they
did precisely as the Gazette itself
did not-receive the bill with enthusi-
astic welcome. 1t is needless to attempt
any defense of the action of our legis-
lators, our people and press in not sup
porting the CARRIER bill. The Gazette's
able editorial of two weeks ago placed
all its weak and diseased spots in the
open day, and showed that no honest
man could vote for it except as com
promise measure. Explaining his affilia-
tion with the Democracy, Henry George,
the free trader, said that if he were very
desirous of reaching some point, and
found no vehicle. but dung cart going
his way, he would mount the dung cart
So thought Representative McKelvey,
and so with him thought those of the
Republican minority of the Legislature
who voted in favor of the CARRIER bill.
Senator Nichols evidently considered
that no start at all was preferable to
going by so unsatisfactory means of
transportation.
The Republican party in this county
did pledge its representatives to some
effort looking to the reduction of county
salaries, and both Senator Nichols and
Representative McKelvey gave evidence
of entire willingness to carry out the
pledge, the former by introducing bill
to reduce the salary of by far the highest
paid officer in the county, and the latter
by supporting several excellent Repub-
lican bills which were defeated notably
the Veneer bill which provided for a
uniform reduction of 25 per cent. in
fees paid county officials. But it very
soon in the session became evident that
no Republican stood any chance of
getting through salary bill. The
Democratic majority was determined to
have whatever glory there was in the
passage of such a bill, and Systematically
defeated every measure introduced by
Republicans.
The Gazette's position in the matter
now is only conjectural, for it may go
to the antipodes in week. 1t rushed
into criticism of the CARRIER bill on its
passage, forgetting that it was Demo
cratic legislation which would have to
be defended one week later. This
criticism was, we think, quite "ill-
considered" the attack on Senator
Nichols and Representative McKelvey
unjust and the GGzette's management
of the whole matter conspicuously in
consistent and "bunglesome."

protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
losses to and fro on his sleepleSs couch,
vainly praying for that rest which only
comes by fits and starts; his malady is
one which ordinary medicines too often
fail to relieve, but there is ample evidence
to prove that the efficient blood depurent,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords the
rheumatic a reliable means of relief;
cht cl the maladylin its inclpient stages,
when the first premonitory tW inges come

rationale of the active influence of the
Bitters upon this malady, certain it is
that no evidence relating to its effect is
more direct or positive than that which
treaties to its action in case of rheuma-
ism; like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves protracted, systematic trial,
