IT appears to be the general opinion
of the newspapers of the State, and these
reflect the sentiment of the people, that
the Legislature which will soon convene
should get through its work in a hurry.
This can easily be done if the right men
are placed on the important committees
and especially on the finance committee.
1t certainly should not take four or five
months to find out what the State Insti-
tutions need and to give it to them. If
this Legislature gets down to solid work
six days a week until through, and
avoids all junketing trips, they will
bring on themselves the highest praise
Members of the Legislature, like people
in private business, should do their
work as speedily as possible, and then
90 home.

THE annual message of the President
was read in Congress on Wednesday of
last week. 1t contained over 1900
words. 1t is clear, terse and exhaustive
summary of affairs. Its arrangement
is businesslike, and its style elevated
and patriotic.
BY the Republican press it was every
where received with great favor; and
Democratic and Mugwump papers were
forced to recognize it as wise and able
document Even the press of England
accorded it grudging praise.
1t shows that President Harrison is
fully aware of all the interests of this
country, and that he is fully capable of
his exalted Office.

NOT recently at least, if ever the case,
has the Eastern portion of the State
been represented in the President pro
tempore of the Senate. This district
now has a candidate in the person of
Hon. J. w. Nichols, and is entitled to
the honor aside from the prominent
qualities as a presiding officer, which
Senator Nichols would take to the Chair.
If his fitness, availability, and ability are
considered, there can be no question in
regard to the outcome of the matter.

THE Mckinley law increased the tariff
on carpets from 10 to 16 cents a yard
yet all carpet dealers say carpets are to-
day selling cheaper than ever before
Immediately after the passage of the
bill carpets advanced trihe, but have
since declined in price more than they
ever advanced. Let the Democracy
again Join with one accord in their
sOnorous yell, "The tariff is a tax"

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette in
seeking to explain why Senator Sherman
has such an overwhelming support from
the press of the State, says W. A. Hunt,
the editor of THE CHRONICLE, is Post
master at this place, ard therefore THE
CHRONICLE must support Sherman. Mr..
Hunt is not editor of TIE CHRONICLE
and has no interest in it whatever,
neither are the editors of this paper in
any way connected with the postofice.
Thus, the c. G's statement, like major
ity of its assertions, is striking only for
its falsity, and had its origin wholly in
the imagination of some of the C. G's
brainy G. young men. The editors of
TIE CHRONICLE never received favor
from Senator Sherman and have none to
ask from him. THE CHRONICLE sup
ports him because he is so much superior
to his opponent that comparison is
| impossible.

LET US HAVE A CHANGE.

According to the State Constitution
the Common Pleas Judicial Districts
can not be altered except by a two
thirds vote of both branches of the
Legislature. The present apportionment
was made SO long ago that it has long
since survived its usefulness. As it now
stands, although Ohio is Republican, a
considerable majority of our Common
Pleas Judges are Democrats. For the
first time in many years the Republicans
have two-thirds majority in both
branches, or will have as soon as a
contest in the Senate is disposed of, and
it is proposed to make a new apportion-
ment which will meet the demand of the
times and the changed condition of our
courts.
A general turning around will no
doubt do deal of good in breaking up
machines which perpetuate the Judge
ship in a certain localities. When the
Legislature gets to work on this point,
it will do well to place Belmont county
in different connection. This county
never has had any community of interest
with Monroe county, and to be grouped
with her is a manifest injustice to the
richer and more populous county of
Belmont, who, by Monroe's rock ribbed
Democracy, is deprived of any voice as
to who shall occupy the Bench and sit
in judgment on her interests. There is
need for change here and let US have it.
