REPUBLICAN papers throughout the
district are trying hard TO make capi-
tai out Of the fact that Congressman
Donovan did not vote upon the silver
question when the contest came to a
climax in the House. They are very
careful, however, not to inquire into
the causes ofthe absence Of Mr.. Dom
ovan. and as usual work hard to mis-
represent the matter to their readers.
The fact is, Mr.. Donovan was lying
quite sick, and wholly unable to take
his seat in the House just at that criti-
cal time. Friends will be rejoiced to
know that he has now fully recovered
and that he Is again in his accustomed
seat In the House. He recorded his
vote for free wool on Friday and will
always be found upon the side Of the
people.

The Republicans had no sooner lost
the election in Toledo last week, than
the ringsters, headed by that disrep-
utable policical trickster Bumbach,
held themselves away to Columbus
and had bill introduced ripping up
the government of the city. 10 show
how honest aud decent Republicans
look upon the matter, we reproduce
the following from the Toledo daily
Commercial, which represents the
better elements in the Republican
party.
The bill now pending in the House
proposing to rip up the city govern
ment of Toledo is not in accord with
the wishes ofa large majority of her
Republican voters. AT the recent
municipal election a gallant but fruit
less effort was made on behalf of some
of the best men who were ever present
ed by the party for municipal officers.
We regret that they were not elected,
but any proposition that would vest in
the Mayor the authority to appoint all
bridge tenders, the harbor III, ster, in
firmary director and other subordinate
city officers is ill-advised and contrary
to Republican principles. The MAORI
ty should rule. Unfortunately the
majority was not with US at the recent
election and the democracy triumphed
The Griffin ripper was introduced ia
the House without consulting and
without desire on part ofa majority Of
the Republicans of Toledo. 1t ought
to be defeated, because it is against
that first principle of government il
America, majority rule. We hope tht
| Legislature will consign it to the same
| fate which has been visited upor
purely ripper bills for other cities, in
Guiding Columbus and Canton, thu
home of Governor Mckinley. 1t j!
better to accept the situation than fee
| to the ills we know not of. So far a
| Chairman Bonner, or any of the othe
leading republicans of Toledo are con
4 cerned, we do not believe there is 9
disposition to push such bills to tht
| front, 1t is better, by far, to accept al
adverse verdict at the hands of thu
city, than to consign its governmen
hereafter to rings and cliques VIII,
have neither respect for the leading
men of their party or the will of tn,
I majority. Let the Toledo ripper NEE
the fate which such bills should NEE
at the hands Of fair-minded men of al
| parties.

ELI GOT THERE.
Now You've Got Him and
Now You Hav MT.
Adventures of The Henry County
Sheriff With a Smooth Custom
er From Adams TIP.

There Is q warrant out for the arrest
Of EphrIam Marckle, of Adams town
ship, on the charge Of bastardy. 1t
was issued some time ago and Sheriff
Decker, of Henry county, has been
latter him" ever since. On Saturday
evening he went to the Marckle home
stead and found the old gentleman and
the two younger boys playing cards,
and Ephrism and his brother Eli en-
gagged In conversation. The Sheriff
placed his baud on the shoulder of the
one he supposed was Ephrism and
said, "consider yourself under arrest" :"
The prisoner made no resistance, and
Decker started for Napoleon with him.
When he got as far as Ridgeville Cor
ners he stopped and got to talking
with resident of that place.
In the course of the dialogue the
Ridgevlllite said: "I don't believe
you've got the right man." and the
prisoner wanted to bet the sheriff 81 90
that the third man was right, but the
sheriff went on to Napoleon and lodg-
ed his man in jail.
Now 1t developes that he got Eph's
brother Eli, instead of Eph. The
brothers are alike in build, and when
the Sheriffhad last seen them Eph had
q mustache, while his brother was
smooth-faced. But the boys were up
to a trick or two, SO Eph took clean
shave and Eli raised a mustache. Now
Eli languishes in the bastile while Eph
devotes his time to making himself
scarce and laughing at the inferior ar
ticle of shrewdness which the Sheriff
has in stock. This makes the fourth
time Marckle has eluded Decker.

1T is now about time for the Board
of Visitors to West Point to COM
mence compiling information statisti-
cal and historical for use on their visit
to the Academy In June. This visit
is the greatest farce in all the govern
ment's dealings with the Academy.
The Board ascends the Hudson with
all the majesty of power to cast criti-
cal eye over the place, to suggest, to
correct and to reform. 1t gets a salute,
a review and several state dinners. It
is treated with some condescension by
the little digarchy that runs tho

returns to Congress humbly submit
ing report that may as well have
been prepared by the superintendent
and the faculty. No one has ever

great extent up to the present time,

Of its duties, and more anxious to
serve the government than to have q

AT the election in Rhode Island
last week the republicans were sue
cessful, having elected their candi-
date for governor by small majority,
and secured the legislature. In the
April Election of 1884 they carried
the state by 6,344, and in 1888 by
8,173. A special dispatch says the re-
publicans carried the little state with
greenbacks and bought up votes like
sheep at 500 per head. 1t was the
poor laboring class that was thus cor
rupted.

The Spring..

for making radical changes in regard
to health. During the winter, the
system becomes to certain extent
clogged with waste, and the blood
loaded with impurities, owing to lack
Of exercise, close confinement in poorly
ventilated shops and homes, and other
causes. This is tie cause of the dull,
sluggish, tired feeling so general at
this season. and which must be over
come, or the health may be entirely
broken down. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has attained thegreatest popularity all
over the country as the favorite Spring
Medicine. 1t expels the accumulation
of impurities through the bowels,
kidneys, liver, lungs and skin, gives to
the blood the purity and quality neces-
sary to good health and overcomes
that tired feeling.

JUDGE MCCONNELL, of Chicago, has
rendered a decision to the effect that
gamb ling utensils obtained under an
ordinary search-warrant cannot be
legally destroyed by the police-officers,
because the statute directing their
destruction does not provide for notice
to their owner, or for any trial what
ever, and therefore violates the con-
stitutional principle that no one shall
be deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law.
