The election frauds just uncover
cd in Michigan are of very peculi-
ar character. The Republican attor-
general, secretary of state, state
treasurer and land commissioner
have been indicted for conspiracy
in falsifying the returns of the late
election on what is Known as the
salary amendment to the constl :
tion, which proposed an increase of
their respective salaries. The people
voted down the amendment, but
these fficials in canvassing the vote
falsitied it SO as to make it appear
that the amendments had carried. A
number of subordinate election Off
cials have also been indicted, and
in addition the attorney. general is
indicted for forgery and destroying
public records. Fraudulently inject
ing a defeated amendment into the
state constitution to increase theil
own salaries is new development,
in political rascality.

News paper Sense.

FoR the last five or six years, our
Newspaper brethren of Pomeroy
have been acting the fool. There
were four Republican newspapers
in Pomeroy and Middleport. All in
teresting, enterprising, and hand
some papers. The throat cut business
prevailed. Each seemed to have as
its highest ambition, the breaking up
of the others, none were making any
money.
Some were on the brink of bankrup
toy. The hoodlums enjoyed the strife
as they would dog fight, but the
better class of people were sick and
disguised with the senseless quarrel
Last week the newspapers came
together.
There was no compromise, no con-
cession, no back out, no growing; the
proprietors all felt that they had
been making fools of themselves, and
it was time to recover their senses.
The four newspapers were con-
solidated.
The Tribune Telegraph, comes
to US this morning, bright and fresh
and like a great rousing from sleep
has the vigor of a paper that will be
esteemed, respected, and felt in the
congress of the Ohio Association.
We congratulate the brethren on the
River, and bespeak for them long
career of business success, and jour
nalistic distinction.

THE EsCAPl; OF JOHN MORGAN
And Other "Reminiscences Of The
Ohio Penllentiary.

Mr.. S. D. Miller, known to our
citizens as the accomplished sign
and scene painter, will deliver a lee
ture, or rather "Talk" in Rempers
Opera House, OH Friday evening,
March 9th. on his thrilling expert
ence in that institution.
When a mere boy, a year or so
before the war, Miller was impli-
Gated in kilnapplng some negroes
in Cleveland, sending them South
to be sold or returned to slavery.
He was arrested, and made the
scape goat, sent to the Penitentiary
for seven years. During his time
he was one of the principal aiders
in the escape of John Morgan, the
most startling chapters in the his
tory os the Pen. After his release,
he was spotted by detectives, and
on various charges sssent up" serv-
ing in all, twenty years.
His life has been that of veri-
table Jean Val Jean, trying to get
along honestly, and constantly
bounded by the INSCRIPTIONS detec,
tive and driven at times to desper-
alton.
His knowledge of the instru
ments of punishment in the pen. is
personal, and his tale startling
one. The purpose in coming before
the public and telling what he knows
is to arouse public sentiment in
favor of the establishment of state
work shop, au institution in which
the ex-convict who wishes to lead
a reformed and useful life, may be
freed from the persecution of the
detective and be given chance te
prove himself, entitled in his peni
tence, to the confidence of his fel
low men.
Mr.. Miller will illustrate his tall
with crayon sketches. of actual oc'
curances. His talent as a painter il
demonstrated by the handsome sign'
which adorn the bulletin boards IN
the post Office.
For particulars of the Talk, atten
ton is called to the program bills

OUTHWAITE'S FRIEND.
The Columbus Postmaster.

On the Recommendation of Hon
Joseph H. Outhwaite, F. M. senter
has been appointed Postmaster of
Columbus. Mr.. Senter is man of ex-
cellent qualifications. He is one of
the reliable democrats of the Capital
city. disappointment meets with the
appreciation of all the representative
democrats and business men,patrons
of the Office. We most heartily ap-
prove Mr.. Outhwaite's choice, and
congratulate the people of Columbus
in the good fortune that comes to
them in the model man they have for
Postmaster.
Mr.. Senter is not what is known as
"Hustler" in politics. He is not
loud and clamorous, mot an Office seek
ing, nor a sycophant. He is man
ofprincipal, and a faithful friend.
He was Outhwaite's friend, tried
true, and constant. And for Joe Outh-
waite be it said, hell, ke the "Man OF
Airlie" has happy way of standing
by his friends.
Cultivate has for more than dc,
cade been the honorcd Representa-
tive of the grandest constituency in
the American Congress. He has been
opposed by factions, assaulted by the
opposition party, has been antagon-
ixed by great men and distinguished
leaders in his own party, but when
the pull came, from all around out OF
the ranks, came true and tried men.
saying, "Outhwaite never went back
on friond," and the force of such
mems friendship, sent him back again
each time with renewed popularity
1t is recognition of such men as
Senter, friends for friendships sake,
that makes Congressman for as many
terms as they are willing to serve
and will send Cultivate back again,
if he is again candidate.

The Ohio Dairy School.

The Breeders Gazette, Chicago. Ill.
says, editorially:
''Ohio is now moving in the direction
of the establishment of a dairy school
at the Ohio State University. The re-
cent agricultural convention demanded
the addition of such school to the
equipment OF the agricultural college,
and the trustees are willing to accede
to the request, and are financially able
to conduct such school, but have not
the funds with which to build it The
legislature will therefore be appealed
to for an appropriation for this pur-
pose. Wisconsin and New York have
shown the way in this enterprise The
Wisconsin building and equipment cost
$40, 900, and one hundred students are
at work while many have been turned
away for lack of accommodations
New York has just dedicated its new
dairy school building at Cornell, for
which the legislature appropriated $780,
600, and now nearly fifty students from
nine states and Canada are enrolled
there. As Ohio is the second dairy
state in the union it seems hardly in
keeping with the eternal fitness of
things that she should send to other
states for scientific and practical edu-
cation in dairying. We confidently
look for the speedy establishment OF q
great dairy school in that state, for the
"Huckeye' farmers have Il way of see-
ing their needs and providing for them :"

NATIVE ASH TREES.

Notes Furnished by Prof Kellerman, OF
the Botanical Department, Ohio State
University.
OF about thirty species OF ash de-
scribed by botanists, all occurring IN
the temperate and sub-tropical regions
of the globe, five of them are indigen-
ors to Ohio. These are graceful or
stately trees, highly priced for orna-
ment in parks and pleasure grounds
The ashes have opposite pinnate
leaves, bearing from five to eleven
rather large leaflets The flowers. ap-
pearing in early spring. are inconspic-
nous, though the fower-clusters are
rather large racemes or panicles The
staminate (male) and pistillate (fe-
male) flowers are on different trees.
The peculiar fruits still hanging on
the tree after the leaves have fallen,
are well known to all They have re-
ceived the name of key or samara; they
are cylindrical or oblong and extended
above into thin membranous wing.
The species of ash are especially val
liable for the light. tough, elastic, du-
rable and beautiful wood which they
produce. 1t is second in value only to
the oak. Its uses are too manifold to
be enumerated here-for agricultural
implements, tool-handles, general con-
struction, fencing, cabinet work, inte-
rior finish, etc.
The wood of the white, the red. the
green and the blue ash is very light in
color and so nearly alike in the four
species that it is all known in tho arts
simply as mhne ash
The white ash tree is our largest spe-
cies, but trees of a smaller size are now
being used on account OF the scarcity
and increasing demand for this lumber,
hence the tendency to use the smaller
and less excellent species enumerated
above.
The wood of the black ash is darker
in color, of coarse grain, extremely
tough. and readily separated into lay
ers 1t is easily distinguished from
that of the other four species
DISTRIBUTION IN OHIO.
The white ash is common over the
whole state and is doubtless recognized
by every one The black ash (some-
times called hoop ash or swamp ash)
occurs rather commonly y in swanps and
low wet grounds 1t is not likely to
be mistaken for any other species The
blue ash is quite abundant in the CEN
trail portion and the western half Of
the state.
The distribution Of the red ash and
/ the green ash in Ohio is not fully
known to the writer and information
is hereby sought. Specimens Of the
red ash have been seen along the Scioto
river near Columbus The green ash
has been reported for Southwestern
and for Northern Ohio. Trunks OF
neither of these ashes were secured for
the Worlds fair exhibit and are not in
the collection in the Botanical Muse
um, though much desired.
| The green ash strongly resembles the
! white ash, but does not grow so large
and may be distinguished by its leaves
being bright green on both sides, where
as those of the white ash are pale and
! glaucous beneath. The red ash is also
easily recognized since it is the only
ash that has hairy or pubescen,
branchlets ap1 leaf-stall1s,
