THE VETO POWER.
Why 1t Was Taken Away From the
Governor of Ohio
From the Cinctnnat Enquirer.

1OVSrnOE OF OnlO.
From the Cfnctnndti Enquirer.
The question is frequently asked why the
governor of Ohio is not clothed with the
veto power. The fact that he is not in-
vested with the veto power is generally
known, but the causes leading TO it are a
sealed book to at least 90 per cent Of the
population.
Ohio's first governor, when it was in the
territorial stage. possessed the veto power,
and the peculiar manner in which be exer-
cised II when the territorial legislature sub
mitted two bills for bis approval burned
so deeply into the souls OF the Buckeyes that
almost century Of political, social and
national progress has not effaced it.
When Gen. Arthur st. Clair was terrific
rial governor he was entitled by law to re
ceive as part Of his perquisites a fee Of So
for each marriage celebrated in the terri
tory. Two dollars at that period was a
pretty large sum, and the members of the
popular branch of the les stature came to
the conclusion that 10 had tendency TO dis
courage matrimonial ventures
The young ladies didn't like the idea OF
the governor regulating tho question OF
marriage, and the boys couldn't understand
the necessity OF paying hun SO much money
for permit to get married.
The upshot Of the matter was that the
general assembly concluded to repeal the
marriage fee grant and give the boys and
girls o chance. There was no love lost be-
tween Gov. st. Clair and the House of Rep
resentatives, but the latter were chivalrous
enough to make up the governors loss in
another direction.
Accordingly they figured out how much
| the governor would receive annually III
marriage fees. Then they passed two sepa.
rate bills, one abolishiT & the marriage fee
| and the other correspondingly increasing
the governors salary. They didn't like St
Clair. but they were willing to treat him
fairly in this matter,
After the bills had been properly enrolled

q veto message accompanying the one abol~
| ishing the 50 marriage fee. The House
passed the bill over the governors veto, bu,
| the legislative council, corresponding In
most respects to'our present Senate. sus-
tanned the governor.
A few years later the first constitution
was formed. Nearly all the members OF
the territorial legislature were in the con-
| vention that framed 1t. Toe convention re-
! fused TO give the question of the veto even
| a respectful hearing, and the proposition
TO grant It was Overwhelmingly defeated.
Fifty years later, 10 1852, the distrust of the
executive veto had not died out In tue
hearts Of the Buckeyes, and the attempt &c
give the governor the veto power was again
defeated.
But for that 90 marriage fee the governor
Of Ohio would, no doubt, be invested with
the veto power.

Threatened determination Of EIsphants.
This well known and sagseious animal
is fast becoming extinct, owing to the
ruthless slaughter which is carried on for
the sake of its ivory. The elephsf,t pos
sesses: almost every attribute that can rem
der it useful to mankind. It is strong,
persevering. and SO dooile that it may be
trained to almost any service; and except
during one part of the year is net, if I'M
attacked, dangerous. Indeed, to enumer-
ate the services Of these animals would be
impossible; one single elephant performs
more work than six horses. They are en-
ployed in carrying burdens on their bod
les, round their necks, and even by the
means of = rope in their mouths; they load
a boat with amazing dexterity. drag
beams, and even NAV be seen
to propel wheels. Notw outstanding all
the uses to which this animal may be
put, terrible cruelties are committed in
hunting it. They are taken alive in pit
falls and then cruelty slaughtered; pur-
sued individually by two hunters, one of
whom disables him by dividing the ten
dens of his feet with blow, whilst his
compan ion attracts the animals atten-
ton; sugar-canes arc impregnated with
poison-in fact Ne device is to cruel to
use against them. These cruelties are
committed in order to meet the constant
demand we make for ivory. The de-
mand is fast exceeding tho supply, and
before many years are over the elephant
will be as extinct as the mammoth.

woMAN.s DRESS

A Plea Fer Garments which Psrnis nee
dom or Move0eat.
There can be no doubt that as long as
women remain the slaves Of fashion
they are destined to occupy an inferior
place in the affairs of the world A
thoroughly healthy mind can live only
in thoroughly healthy body. Women
who wear corsets suffer from contrac-
ton of the thorax and the thousand ills
it brings forth The trailing skirt,
whose weight rests on the hips, inter
feres with the power of locomotion,
prevents wholesome physical exercise
and poisons the skin with the impuri-
ties it sweeps up on the streets
Woman's evolution or elevation de-
ponds upon the adoption of dress
which permits the lungs to expand and
liberates the body from the thralldom
of inartistic drapery. II is one of the
pleasing signs of the times that the
leaders of the woman movement, how
ever much they may differ on matters
of less Importance, are unanimous and
enthusiastic in their advocacy Of dress
reform.
Woman, like man. was made in the
image of God We have NO sympathy
with prudes who insist upon the perpet-
nation of the skirt because it hides the
form. The skirt is badge of woman's
inferiority, conferred on her at
q time when the sex enjoyed
neither civil nor social rights. The
Oriental trousers dual skirts
a far more convenient and healthy gar
ment than the heavy drapery worn by
the women of America who look upon
their sisters in the east with pity and
compassion.
Every one who has given some
thought to the social conditions of the
country must admit that the women
will play an important part in its future
development They have already be-
come a part of American business and
professional life and are even now con-
Quoting an aggressive and popular cam
paign for equal suffrage. In a few
years they will accompany US to the
polls and assist us IA selecting law
makers and making our laws
In view of these facts, it becomes the
duty of men to urge upon their wives,
sisters and daughters the adoption of
dress which shall permit rational exer-
else without violating the artistic taste.
Not until women are clothed in gar
ments emblematic of freedom can they
hope to compete successfully with men;
nor will they be free from the small
prejudices and weaknesses which have
retarded their evolution and made
them the subject of in-tempered ridi-
cule.
The importance Of clothes must not
be underestimate To quote from
''Sartor Resartus," ''as despieable as we
think them, they are SO unspeakably
significant &c. w. Weippiert, in Nhi-
cage Graphic.
