Though the broad State of Ohio has
seldom found cause to feel proud of her
Democratic Senator, she will GER
tainly hail with great gladness Senator
Brice's oposition to the Wilson bill. Sen
ator Brice is kicking and kicking with
vigorous kicks. He thinks that meas
ure of so vast and vital Importance as a
radical tariff reform measure has been
put into rather poor hands, and he de-
signates Senators Jones, Vest and Mills,
who have given the tariff bill its present
shape, as three "ex rebel brigadiers, P"
When called to account for his words, he
explains that he desires to cast no refec-
ton ON the men because they are eX-
Confederates, but he does want to say
that since Northern industries are more
affected by the tariff changes than South
ern, therefore the measure should have
been put into the hands of friends of
Northern industries rather than in the
hands of men of narrow, sectional and
theoretical ideas. Ohio will certainly
back up her Senator in all such talk as
that, and in anything else he may do in
blocking the way of the Wilson bill.

An amendment has been proposed to
the Constitution of the State, giving the
Governor the veto power. All but four
States give the Governor this power, and
it has frequently proven wise provision
Under the first Constitution of the State
this power was vested in the Governor,
but owing to some misunderstanding
that provision was omitted from the
present Constitution. If a Governor is
in any sense to govern, he should
be vested with this power.

Senator Hogg says that Harrison
county is solid for annual sessions of the
Legislature, and therefore he is making
every effort possible to induce the Senate
to abjure the pledges of the State Repub
lican platform. Belmont county can be
said to be solid for biennial sessions, but
possibly Mr.. Hogg does net intend to
try to represent Belmont county.

PENCIL POINTERS.

With less than year of trial the
Workman school law is in way to be
repealed. This law has had to contend
with a great amount of opposition. but
whether justly or not no unpreiudiced
mind. with so short IA trial of measure
which worked so radical change in the
government of couatry schools, can
honestly determine. The law may be
bad or it may be good, but having OBJ
served its workings for so short time
its opponents are not justified in con-
demning it utterly or its advocates in
upholding it as the best to be obtained in
the line of school legislation. Since the
law has been enacted and the schools
have accommodated themselves to the
change, it would certainly be bat the part
of wisdom to let the law stand until 1t is
fairly tried. We have no feeling either
for or against the law, but we believe
that the country schools ought to be i'm
proved, and can be, but it can not be
done by enacting laws on the subject and
then repeating them before their effect
can be experienced. There are those
clamoring for the repeal of the law who
opposed its enactment because it was an
innovation over the methods to which
they had all their lives been accustomed.
These persons have predicted that the
law would be failure, and they want it
speedily repealed for fear it should prove
a success and their reputation as prophets
be ruined.
There be those who talk of the great
things done 40 years ago and lament the
departed glory of the country schools.
Distance lends enchantment," and the
present always suffers in imaginary COM
parison with the past. The country
schools may have been better 40 years
ago than they are now, but we now have
to deal with the present, and the country
schools, in fact, all schools of to-day will
admit of considerable improvement, but
no progress will be made until people can
get out of old, worn out ruts and are
willing to try something new.

GLlTTERlNG ARMOR.
Poor Bernard Heron Seemed Arrayed
Like Knight of Old When the Police
Found Him Yesterday.

Poor Bernard Heron, aged about fifty
years, was found by the police yesterday in
a sad state. He INDUCED too freely in the
morning in ambrosial drinks, and along to-
wards noon betook himself to lumber pile
back of Burrowes's screen factory, there to
slumber at full length in the sunshine. The
high factory lowered above him, with many
windows from which mischievous youths
soon espied Bernard. They at first began to
throw at him little pieces of waste tin,
about as large as a cent. A perfect shower
of tin fell upon him and chung to his
clothes. Then dippers of water were thrown
until the man was drenched. However, the
sun and air were both warm and Heron was
not cold.
When the police arrived the man was wet
through, and so plastered with pieces of tin
that he glittered like a knight of old in
FURNISHED armor.
He was still unconscious of his glittering
condition when taken to the station.

A KNOWING HORSE.
He Saves His Master a Good Deal o.
of Trouble.


The night lunch men have horse that is
worth mentioning. There are two carts,
one at the corner of Federal and Middle,
and one at the corner of Casco and Congress
streets. The proprietors have licence to
keep open till IL o'clock Saturday night and
$50 a. m. every other week day. They live
upon Munjoy hill. The horse brings down
the Casco street cart; then the Federal
street cart. Embarrassed there, he proceeds
alone short distance down the street to
Wilson'S stable. He stands there in the
middle of the floor unhitched until 2.3O a.
m. arrives. He is then turned out goes
alone to the cart at Casco street, gets be-
tween the shafts and waits to be harnessed,
sometimes as much as an hour. He does this
every night. After he has hauled the Casco
street cart up to Munjoy hill he will not re-
turn alone for the other cart, but that he
shouldn't start for home as soon as he is let
out of the Wilson stable is remarkable, and
it must be very gratifying to the man at
Casco street to have the horse come up
there alone in the middle of the night, a
distance of nearly half a mile, and save the
trouble of going after him,

SackcInsky Says that Drunken Men
ReviIed Him, Stoned His Family and
Made Kindiings of His Establishment
With an Axe-Two Men Arrested.
At the end of Newbury street small
alley gives admission to a large tenement
building that is known as in the rear of
No. 49, There is large brick building,
and on one end is wooden block. Into this
latter tenement a Russian family moved
yesterday afternoon. There were present
John Smith, whose real name is Boltry
Sackcinsky, sturdy middle aged Russian,
his young daughter and her two weeks old
infant, and an old woman, the great-gra nd
mother of the infant. They had just got
settled in the small bare rooms when some
drunken men came along. The Russian
says that there were five of them, a neigh
Dor says thee. AS the story is told by the
Russian and the neighbors, the men called
forth Boltry, ETC., and asked him if he was
man. He said that he was. They said that
he was not, and told him to come out and
prove it. He came out and they attacked
him. His daughter rushed to the door and
called him in. The door was shut. Then
the attacking party began to throw rocks at
the house, smashing the windows and then
they forced an entrance.
Boltry says that they struck the old
woman with rock and also that rock
struck the baby in the side, as it lay in its
mothers arms, but it did little damage, as
the infant was thickly wrapped up and the
force of the rock was spent.
One of the men got an axe somewhere and
smashed in the sashes. An on-looking
neighbor declared that she was frightened
nearly out of her wits when he rushed into
the house with the axe. An axewas certainly
| used inside, for the doors were splintered to
kindling wood. The place is a scene. OF
desola ton, and looks as if whirlwind had
struck it. Officers Bracket and Skillings
and Greeley arrested Patrick H. Shannahan
and Joseph Callahan on suspicion of parti
cipation in the assault.
and they were taken to the station. They
have both been there before.
The Russian family Immediately moved
out of the unpleasant locality and went to
the house of friend named Pemski, who
lives on Monument street. There an indig.
nation meeting was held, and much talk
INDUCED in, but no complaint was made to
the police. And this is the event, if the re-
ports of the eye-witnesses are true, that led
to the rumor that spread over the city last
evening that a baby had been murdered
somewhere.

Mr.. PUGsLEY'S LITTLEFlRE.
1t Ran Away and the Neighbors Turned
Out to Stop 1t.
Especial to the Press.l

Cornish. May ga narrow escape
from fire was the chief public incident
here today. Freeman Pugsley undertook
to burn some pine tops and underbrush
in his wood lot along by the brook next
to Shapleigh, when the fierce wind got
the best of the crew set to handle it,
and the flames rushed towards the resi-
dences of 6. H. Milliken and Willis Nor
ton. There was plenty of dry fuel to feed
the fire, and it had soon all but reached
the crest of the knoll, and few minutes
later would have be en- devouring these
and other buildings if an alarm had
not been rung in and scores hastened
to the rescue. Every body made good
use of pail, hoe or shovel, and by dint
of great exertions the fire was checked
in season to save valuable property. Then
a close watch was kept to stop any fresh
outbreak at the first signs. Happily the
wind subsidized, and the danger that
promised to be realized at one time was
over. Again has the pressing need of fire
apparatus been forcibly demonstrated.
