Ohio's Secretary of state Takes Time and

salary by the FOreiock.
COLUMBUS, o., February 19.-Hon.
Samuel NJ Taylor has stolen a march
on the legislative reformers, who were
prompted by the POorman-Ryan con-
troversy to abolish the fee system in
the Office of Secretary Of State.
When the war between Colonel Poor
man and ex-Secretary Ryan over that
celebrated $1,000 was most intense,
Senator Jerry Carpenter, Of Meigs
county, concluded that it would be wise
TO guard against the occurrence OF any
such narrowing spectacle in the future,
and, therefore, he introd uced bill TO
have the Secretary of States compen-
saticn consist Of specified salary with
out fees.
The compensation Of the Secretary OF
State, under the present system, is
81, OO0 per annum. OF this amount
8, 900 is stated salary, $1,000 an al
lowauce for performing the duties OF
State Supervisor or Elections ex-oliicio,
and 81, 600 IN fees to be deducted from
those collected by that department.
The Meigs county statesman also
thought it would be wise thing to re-
duce the compensation $1,000, and his
bill provides that the Secretary Of State
shall receive an annual salary Of So, coo.
Mr.. Taylor seems to have been equal to
the emergency and to have taken time
by the foFeIock. As soon as the bill
passed the Senate, and before it came
up for final action in the House, he in

fees. The records at the Auditor Of
States Office show that he has acted as
did Mr.. Ryan when he endeavored to
appropriate to himself the fees which
Colonel Poorman claimed. Mr.. Taylor
has drawn the $1,000 in fees from the
first quarters collection. Conseq uently
no will be in out of the wet if the bill is
passed in the House.

nacKsrr no Pension REroRM,

A RACKSEr To PENSION REFORM.
The dofcat OF the pension amend
ments 10 the House last week shows
that Congress pas not yet been able TO
bring itself 70 the point OF dealing
honestly With the pension question.
All the pension extravaganza the
Treasury is grooming under has
been piled up, though the desire Of both
parties in Congress to stand we'll with
the ex.soldjers. Neither cared For him
particularly. but both hal mighty re-
gard FOR his vote, and in the disgrace
fal partisan scramble for il each has
Wed with the other in piling u pension
expenditures until to-day half the
enormous income OF the government
is spent in that way.
II the politicians only knew It, such a
course is the worst OF bad politics. No
better method could be devised for tae
alienation OF the soldier vote than the
affrout offered 10 the deserving veterans
by thus plac ing them in the same cate
CORY with the undeserviug. They
risked their lives to save the country,
no, to ruin it, and they do not desire a
dollar Of pension money they do not de-
serve. Less DO they desire that their
names shall be placed side by side with
those OF men who never fred shot,
received a wound or contracted any dis
ability in the army. These pension
jumpers they desplse as heartily as they
did the bounty jumpers in the day OF
battle and suffering.
But pension reform will not down,
aud its temporary defeat in this Con-
gress will but emphasize the demand
for 1t In the next. And when il be-
comes a leading issue before the people
those smart" politicians who have
been toadylng to the soldier vote" will
discover their mistake.

OUR july sYsTEM.

It is rare for judges to express them
selves in favor OF change 10 the jury
system, especially judges OF the
United States Supreme Court. Yet so
sound a jurist as Judge BREWER has ex-
pressed himself in favor Of change
which would eliminate the zone man
power" on juries.
st have often thought" he is quoted
as saying informally before the Round
Table club of Washington, that avote
of three-fourths or even larger vote
than that should be taken as making
verdict"
This conclusion has been largely
shared In by many prominent lawyers,
and especially those members of the
profession who, as public prosecuting
officers, come most frequently in con-
tact with evidences OF "tampering'
with Jurors. The means to accomplish
the reform are important, because public
sentiment will not sanction any change
which will affect the fundamental ele-
menls OF the present system, but there
are lew; indeed, who cannot see
that Justice IS often baked now and
change which would make such re-
suits impossible would be generally
welcomed.

A MILLION IN THE HOLE.
Tho Enormous Amount ohio's treasury is
Deficient

DeGoient
COLUMBUS, o.. February 19.-The
House Finance Committee returned
last night from its closing tour of its
legislative session. The last place Wis
tied was the EpIeptic Insane Asylum
AT Gaflipolis. Enough figuring has been
done within the asst few days TO pull
the rosy masQue from the Treasury and
reveal an alarming condition oil affairs.
The footlngs no 10 date demonstrate
that the appropriations asked for ex-
ceed the estimated revenues by at least
81. 600, coo.
The investigation made 81 the COM
mittee shows that large deficiencies
have been created in numerous State
institutions aud covered up in thor an
nual reports
IN ORDER TO DECEIVE
the overburdened taxpayers. At the
Central Insane Asylum. despite the fiat
tering financial statement made by SUI
perintendert Richardson, deficiency
in the extraordinary sum Of S20.O has
been created.
This IS concealed in the annual re-
port Of that institution by failing TO
include In the expenditures many out
standing claims aggregating the sum
mentioned. The penitentary has also
created deficiency Of SEQ. 600. There
are additional deficiencies in large
amounts at the Soldiers and Sailors
Orphans Home. the Dayton Insane
Asylum, the Boys Industrial School
aud a number of other institutions. At
Ieast four-ffths of these deficiencies
are ia the current expense funds, show
ing that there was in most instances
DOWN RIGHT EXTRAvAGANCE
in the general management. One OF
the first things decided by the commit
tee in the work of cutting down the
proposed appropriations was the ques-
ton OF aDpropriating $4,000 to send
the Ohio National Guards to the Worlds
Faia. The committee has decided that
not a cent will be appropriated for this
purpose. II the National Guards go at
all, they must walk or pay their own
railroad fares. The canals will receive
about the usual appropriations. Each
canal is TO get its earnings. In
ADDITION TO THE EARNINGS
The Northern Ohio Canal will be given
500, coo; the Southern Ohio. S25, 900, and
the Hooking, 800. The Miami and
/ Erie and the Walhonding are self-snp-
porting. The canals, therefore, will re-
ceive nearly $50, 600 in addition to their
earnings. There is an extraordinarily
large deficiency In the canal fund. The
BpieDtic Insane Asylum will be given
500 900 to furnish its five cottages, in
addition to $4,000 included in the par
tial appropriation bill. The latter
amount was for the purpose Of complet-
ing the buildings already in process Of
construction. The trustees of the in
stitution ask for $40, 600.
FOR CURRENT EXPENSES.
But they will not likely get more than
$50, eco. They also want $4,000 for
five additional cottages, but the COM
mittee tonight decided not to make
this appropriation. The total defcien-
cies in the various State departments
and institutions up to November IS last
amounted to S7s, 1872. Now they run up
TO over S1O0, 600 and are still increasing.
The committee hopes TO be able to meet
| the actual needs Of each, but one thing
is settled-none of the proposed appro-
priations for new projects will be made.
