The Legislature in session-Gov
Campbell's Message.


The Legislature convened on Tuesday, and
after the reading Of the Governors message,
the body adiourned until Thursday, in honor Of
Senator Robertson, whose funeral took place
on Wednesday.
The annual message of Gov. Campbell is
an excellent State paper, and We are sorry that
it is impossible for us to lay it complete be-
fore our readers this week. The message is
characteristic of the man, is business like
thr oughout, dealing with the condition Of
things in a straight toward and manly man
ner.
Summarizing the message the Bee says
Municipal government is naturally subject
largely considered. No governor of Ohio has
devoted himself to this subject with more
earnestness than the present Executive. He
alludes to existing defects and to the evil
tendency of municipal tinkering by the leg
islature, and suggested an entirely new reme-
dy that would prove effectual and satisfae-
tory. The governor recommends an amend
ment to the constitution which will provide
for calling several charter conventions by the
several cities, similar to the state constitu-
tional convent ons. already by that instru-
ment. The charter conventions would be
held if the people should so elect, and, sub
ject to the restrictions of the state constitu-
tion, municipal governments would be cre-
ated, again subject to the ratification by the
people. Such an amendment as Gov. Camp
bell suggests would remove municipal legisla.
Il:a L. md rn
lieve that body of much of the work that now
cumbers the journals and prolongs the regu-
lar nd adjourned sessions. There is good
!. business in this recommendation of the Gov
ernor.
Ballot reform receives strong Endorsement
: in the message, and the minority members
are urged to lay aside their partisanship in
the interest of measure intended to benefit
all classes of citizens of Ohio.
, A compulsory primary election law for the
, municipalities is the only doubtful recon-
mendation in this message. The Governor
, is SO much in earnest that he would disfran
,hise those who decline to vote at primary
elections The measure of reform would bt
productive of trouble and is not at all neces
sary or advisable in many of the cities of thu
state.
On the subject of taxation, the message
! takes strong grounds in favor of revision b!
f which the burdens of the farmers shall not b.
s increased while their incomes are decreased
8 In this respect Gov Campbell takes position
l opposite to the one assumed by his predeces
:. sor, who recommended heavy land tax TO
q the relief of the personal tax.
i The governor recommends the deposit
/ tax monies in banks or other repositories
t properly secured, so that money may be KEEP
!, in circulation. Official fees and salaries ar
e referred to with the suggestion that they b
economically revised. A good school boo
law is recommended, and trusts are condemn
ed. In the main the message is practical an
the recommendations ought to enlist tn
earnest cooperation ofthe general assembl!

How Flies Die.

Like many other insects, house-fties
are subject to the attacks of a parasitic
fungus which destroys great numbers
of them, especially toward the end OF
autumn. We sometimes see the corpses
of such as have met this fate glued to
the window panes in the attitude of
life; with legs widely spread and wings
raised as if In preparation for flight, but
with a white halo on the glass all
around them, and with bodies pale,
unhealthy looking and distended.
The spores of the fungus, which are
excessively minute and are present in
the air, are carried against the f1y's
body, and such as strike its under sur
face may become adherent, when each
spore sends out long tubular projec-
ton, which penetrates the skin and en-
ters the body. Once here its hosts
doom is certain, for it meets with suita-
BILE nourishment in the snaps of the
fluids of the fly's body, by aid of which
it will speedily propagate itselfuntil its
victim, drained of its life support, final
ly succuumbs. ---..,
The thread like tube first produces a
series of detached, rounded bodies,
something like the cells of the yeast
plant. These cells, which have an in
definite power of self multiplication,
are carried by the hood to all parts of
the body, and thus the disease sprsads.
They, in their turn, give rise to num-
Der of branching tubular threads, simi-
lar to those of the earlier stage, which,
in process of time, penetrrtes the skin.
Each thread which thus makes its ap-
pearance outside gives rise to a sort OF
head, which contains spores like those
with which the series started. These
ale cast off with considerable force, and
multitudes of them no doubt perish,
while others are ultimately waited
against the bodies of other flies, to deal
destruction among their predecessors.
The particular species of fungus
which makes havoc with the house
flies is called En1pusd nusce, and is one
of group which are distinguished by
their habit of subsisting upon living
insects. The maturation of the fungu:
involves the death of the fly, the fiuid
of whose body serve as food for the par
! asite. Under its attack the fly become
gradually feebler, and finally quite un
able to move, and then the viscid secre
ton from the pads on the feet harden
: and Clues the insect to the surface t.
which it is clingling, while the fungu
spreeds round 1t and leaves some of 1t
spores adhering to form the halo abov

1t does, in every line of business, and

What is a cold in the head? Medical
authorities say it is due to uneven
clothing of the body, rapid cooling
when in perspiration, etc. The i'm:
portant point is, that cold in the head
is an inflammation of the lining MEM

A story OF a Whales Pluck.

We have received the following let
ter from Adelaide from DIR. Manning
ton Caffyn: "I send you an instance
of pluck on the part Of whsae. As far
as I can learn it is the rarest thing for q
whale not to fear a steamer. On the
morning OF July 18th, In latitude AZ
south, longitude IS east, Captain Hep
worth, r. N. r., of the steamship Port
Adelaide, was taking his sights when
he noticed large sperm whale along
side, so close that his spouting wetted
the deck. The creature had evidently
lost his school and mistaken us for
one of his own species. He remained
with us for four days and nights and
travelled 800 nautical or 1925 statute
miles without rest, and, as far as one
could gather, without food. He was
never more than seventy yards away,
and for the most part close against the
ship, under her quarter, where the
draught made swimming easier for
him. The length of the animal was
about forty-seven feet. The first day
he was very lively, diving frequently
beneath the ships bottom, on one oc'
casion scratching himself severely
After that he kept close alongside like
tired Newfoundland dog. When ht
did come the children amused them
selves by throwing potatoes into hi
blow hoIes,' which were elected will

mammal has any capacity for sorrow /
must have been a pathetic momen

struggle to stay with us he had to throw
up the sponge and remain alone in tn,

Many questions which finally merge
into legislative halls owe their origin to
the brains of the rural districts. Lin
coin, Grant and Douglass were at one
time farmers and owe their great argu-
mentative power to dispositions ac-
quired by precepts and examples of
their fathers-"Johnny farmers" as
weak minded fools are wont to style
them.
The farmer of the present day has an
education on par with that of his
city brethren, while he possesses agen-
erosity and magnanimity rare among
the town element. No man goes from
a farm house unfed or mistreated; the
latch-string is always on theoutside.
Taking an unbiased view Of the real
position of this class, can it be blamed
for placing itself in a position OF de-
fense and If need be aggression? No
farmer asks more than his just portion
and In all sincerity why not give it te
him?

Statistics of 1860 show that the farm
ing element represented half the popu-
lation and half the wealth of the ma
ton. In 1880 the statistics give the
population as still one half composed OF
farmers but representing only one
fourth Of the entire soedlh!
The cause of this is obvious. Their
cause, their rights, have surely and
steadily been seized upon and stolen by
scheming and unscrupulous magra'
tes who trample the just claims Of
the farmer into the very earth, cover
ing up where once existed the recog.
milton our forefathers gave him, leaving
him no recourse. This line of action
has been increasing in length ano
breadth alarmingly for the last 25 years
and none realize it more than the op

To meet this avalanche of oppression
the farmers have organized. In no
county in the state are they better
equipped for war than in this county.
OF the thirteen townships there is none
without its "Patron OF Industry" lodge,
"Grange," orsome other society formed
with the object in view of ameliorating
the condition of the farming interests
And why not? Millionaires and
bloated aristocrats maintain their as
tendency over his country brethren
who grovel and slave to support them
in opulence, by trusts" and com
bines." The laboring man has 1t with
in his power to form the most gigantic
"trust" that has ever been known
without a single dollar to make up the

The farmer constitutes the prepon-
derance of this class. He is its spinal
column. AS the injury of single
vertebra effects the whole system so
does any disruption or calamity of the
farmers create depression in the most
