About day light Tuesday morning of
last week Annie Barker ran crying into
the house of Mrs. Day, a neighbor, and
to her told most pitiful story of an out
rage of which she was the innocent vic
tim, and her father, Robert Barker, the
perpetrator. Mrs. Day, to whom Annie
had confided the details of her fathers
crime, communicated the story to others,
and Barker was arrested Wednesday af-
ternoon. After short hearing before
Mayor Shannon, Thursday morning, in
which little Annie told straightforward
though reluctant story of the crime, her
unnatural father was committed to the
county Jail. Annie, although 13 years of
age, is possessed of the innocence and
of babe. Owing to the fact
of her being deaf she does not seem to be
so bright as the ordinary child of her age,
but she is quiet, unassuming and
modest child of ordinary intelligence.
Barker, when he worked at all, which |
was very seldom, was digger in the
mines here. The only member of the
family besides father and daughter is

As THE program indicated the Hill
men in New York held their State con-
vention on Monday and elected straight
Hill delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton, with instructions to vote as unit
and to vote for Hill alone. Now the
Cleveland men have called another
convention for May 81, when no doubt
straight Cleveland delegation will be
chosen. There is one glorious feature,
however, the fight is doing the Demo-
cratic party immense harm each day it
continues. The battle is one of ex-
termination, and one faction will GER
tainly 60 down and carry with it a
bitterness that will ruin the whole party.
For this let Republicans give thanks.

REPRESENTATIVE WANZER, Chairman
of the House Committee on Fees and
Salaries, is the author of bill to repeal
the CARRIER fee and salary law. Dr.
Wanzer's bill proposes to reenact the old
law in counties having less than 10000
population, and in counties having over
the above population, to make re-
duction in fees amounting to about
twenty per cent. The fee system is the
only just system and is what the people
want. The CARRIER law is a monstrosity
which ought not to be tolerated. The
demand for its repeal, owing to its un-
just workings in about half the counties
of the State, has led to the bill proposed
by Representative Wanzer.
The fee system is the only plan just
to litigants, taxpayers and officers, but it
strikes us that the amount of the fees
ought to be based on graduated scale.
If the population of 10000 is the limit at
which the old fees shall maintain, in
counties of over 10000 and less than
10000, the fees should be a certain per
cent. less than in the lower class, and
still lower in counties of between 10000
and 10000 population, and so on up.
By such an arrangement only seven
counties would operate under the old
system. In the class between 10000
and 10000 forty counties would be
affected. In the next higher class
fourteen counties would have still lower
fees. In the class between 10000 and
$4,000 population ten counties would
be found. In the next class, between
$4,000 and 10000, six counties. This
or a similar plan would seem the basis
on which to proceed in order to provide
an equitable system of fees.

SENATOR TELLER, of Colorado, is
opposed to President Harrison's s re- nom-
ination because the latter is opposed to
free coinage of silver. Teller says free
coinage would add to the value of
Colorado's silver output not less than
100000 per year. AS the government
is now taking the entire silver product
of the country at market rates, it is
diffical to see on what ground of justice
it would add to the value, although it is
easy to see that free coinage men want
the government to take it at more than
its market value.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Some things of an interesting char
acter in reference to the workings of the
State University at Columbus are coming
to light. Last winter the Hysell bill
giving the University an additional
annual revenue of $85,000 from the
State was enacted. The plea for this
bill was based on the claim that this
amount would be sufficient for all the
needs of the University for years. This
swelled the annual income to the Uni
versity to about s150,OO0. While this
sum was looked upon as outrageously
high by many, yet they were willing to
give it if the demand would stop there.
This winter an appeal was made for
an appropriation of $4,000. Then pa
tience with the extravaganza ceased.
No other school in the West has such an
income, yet many surpass the University
in reputation and in the quality of the
instruction given. Senator Nichols then
started in to investigate some features
connected with the institution. In a
speech in reply to ex-President Hayes,
before the committee on colleges and
universities last week, the Senator
showed that of the Hysell fund Hamil-
ton county paid $4,000 and sent nine
students to the University; Cuyahoga
county paid $1,000 and educated five
students at the University, and Franklin
county pays $1,000 and has 800 students
in the institution. Thus it is seen that
Franklin county reaps all the benefit of
the States money. The University has
600 students at an annual cost to the
State of $3.50 each. Then each student
pays SIS per year incidental fees, and as
much more for laboratory practice. In
short, it costs each student as much as
at any other college in spite of the fact
that the State pays $3.50 for each, sup
posedly for tuition. There are forty
members of the faculty, one for each
fifteen students.
Now at any other institution west of
the Alleghenies the cost per student
does not exceed $50 OF $40 per year.
Why then should the State University
cost so much? The whole trouble can
be laid to the wanton wastefulness of
the University managers. Then if the
State is going to keep up school for
Franklin county, why not start and
maintain one in every county in the
State? The fact of the case is that
Franklin county owns the University
and runs it for the benefit of Columbus,
at the expense of the taxpayers of the
State who receive not one iota of benefit
from it, for if they send their children
there they must pay as much as at any
other school in the State. The Uni
versity ought to be reduced to the plane
on which it was founded-an agricultural
and mechanical college. Now it is
nothing but high school for Columbus,
and the peoples money is keeping it up.
The whole thing needs to be thoroughly
sifted to the bottom, some of the fat
professorships cut and the thing started
on a more economical basis.
