The Canal Question Again.

The proposition to lease the Hook

Ohio Canal, at Carol, to its southern
terminus, at Nelsonville, as embodied
in the Earnhart bill has some peculiar
features, to speak in as friendly man.
ner Of it as We can.
While the first section provides for
the abandonment of the canal in u :
equal:fed terms it is yet argue: by
the friends of the measure that the
passage of the bill is not in.ended to
vacate or interfere with the canal in
any manner.
If these arguments of theirs are true

abandonment of the cana! in the bill

! In selecting names these commits
sioners are restricted to such AZ ar
of record in the office of the Auditor
of the county.
! We take it that these little Repuh
lican statesmen knew that by thil
short sentence the qualification o1
jurors was entirely changed, for they
must have known, if they know
enough to eat when hungry, that the
only names of record in the Auditors
Office are those Of property owners,
and hence to restrict the selection to
the names there found, is to add q
property qualification to that of citi-
zenship.
The Republican party has always
been in favor of centralization of pow
er and the above law is in strict ac-
cord with the principle and form of
sristooratic government.
Henceforward no poor man, no mat
ter how learned or honest, is qualified
to sit on jury in republican Ohio.

No Poor Men Need Apply.

ANOTHER stepin the direction of a,
Aristocratic government, has beer
taken by the Republican Legislature
Of Ohio, and that is the establishment
of new mode of selecting jurors.
Hitherto the duty of selecting jur.
ors devolved ON the trustees of the
several townships, and the duty was
performed ON the day of general el-
ections.
The reason for requiring this duty
to be performed on election day was,
evidently. that at that time the trus-
tees had the poll book of the election
before them and from the list of vot-
ers the prospective jurymen were to
be selected.
The passage of the new ballot law,
under which persons other than trus-
tees were the Judges of the election,
seemed to require that some change
should be made in the matter, but to
have required the duty to be perform
ed at the September meeting of the
trustees would have been all suffi
cient, But until now the only quail
fication of juror was that he should
be citizen of good repute, resident of
the township.
Unuer the law recently passed the
trustees are relieved of this duty and
the Common Pleas Judges of each
subdivision are required to select and
appoint FOUR commissioners, in each
county, who shall select the jurors for
the county.

The Valley Journal prints the res
solution thus -"Resolved that we rec.

The Journal calls Editorial atten-
ton to the commission of the word
"Alike" in the Gazette publication,
claiming the word has been suppress

force and meaning of the resolution
is not expressed.
This puts Vickers on the stand,

If such prov sion were incorporat
ed the alleged railroad company would
quietly lose all interests in the matter
The claim, of the friends of the
bill, Is no true, for the immediate
abandonment of the canal and its ulti.
mate destruction is the primary object.
When Senator Earnhart first intro,
duced the bill, tn, rail road company
which is the beneficiary of the grant
was not organized or chartered, and
the scheme of a railroad was the sugar
coating of the abandonment pill, and
d signed to render palateable piece
of unsavory and dishonest legislation
as ever disgraced the journals ofeither
branch of the legislature.
IF the scheme is f ir and honest how
comes it that this paper rail road COM
pany is given an exclusive six months
option on the property Of the State
without any security for the preform,
ance of the contract or the payment.of
a single dollar?
There is no attempt to protect the
vested rights along the canal. or to re-
quire the rail road company to assume
and carry out the pledges of the state.
The bill makes the rail road COM
pany the sole judge of how much of
the States property they will appro-
PIRATE, and fixes no penalty, save for
feiture, for non performance of their
agreement.
Altogether the bill is loosly and fool
ishly drawn and is as we think, crimi-
nally careless of the rights of indivi-
duals and State and should be killed |
in the House.

Penny Letter Postage.

The penny letter postage fad has
broken out in a new form, and is being
worked for what there is in it by in.
terested parties.
In many localities, the larger towns
and cities generally, the business men
are called upon by a party who repre-
sents that the matter is under consider
alton by Congress and it is found that
the only impeachment in the way is the
fact that the P. o. Department of the
government is not self supporting even
at the present rate.
Then plan is unfolded for meet
ing the present deficiency, and provid-
ing for the further decrease of revenue
which may be casued by the reduction.
The way in which the deficiency is
sought to be met is by increasing the
postage ON newspapers and periodicals
of all kinds from one cent to 8 cents
per pound.
The business man is then asked to
!; sign petition asking Congress to
make the change.
As $40 is demanded from each firm,
merchant, banker or manufacturer, it
would seem as if the only object these
parties could have in pushing the mat
ter is to collect the $40 from each bus
iness man.
Judging from their success in an
average town, and the eagerness of all
classes of business men to contribute
$40 each, man engaged in this bust
ness ought to average $4,000 each
day, or at the rate of forty-ive or fifty
thousand dollars year. |
Long lists of prominent firms and
business men are exhibited, and the
claim is made that each contributed
SO for this purpose; hence, the
question naturally arises, "What be-
comes of the large amount Of money
thus collected?" and the inference is !
that with the exception of 4 few dollars !
paid for circulars, this vast sum of :
money finds its way into the pockets of
the solicitors.
The statements made and the print
ed matter being circulated conveys the
that there is an enormous
deficit each year in the Postal Depart
ment, and that it is caused by the
publishing interests" whereas the
real facts are that the deficit, even in
the last year of great depression is but
small.
The following figures Of the postal
business are taken from Postmaster

for the year ending June 80, 1892:

The Earnhart Bill,

The side Of the opposition of Il
Hooking Canal abandonment schen
was up before the Public worL
committee of the house OH Monda
night last.
A large delegation was presor
. from the Hooking Valley, and til
arguments disclosed a state of fact
such as outlined by the SENTINEL a
existing in regard to the measure.
j Among the speakers against tn
passage of the bill we may mentio
Col. Il. NJ. Nevln, who is possibl
Republican candidate for Governor
Charles Boardman, and CHI. Somers
co al operators; Ex Representative
Weldy and Price, F. s. Pursell, ant
many others spoke against the pro
priety of the bill being enacted int
q law.
In regard to the meeting the Col
umbus Dispatch says:
"The bill was denounced as /.
scheme and the promoters of the
measure as schemers. The argu
men:s showed that there is not q
unanimous sentiment in the valley
as intimated In the previous meet
ings of the committee, for the aban.
donment of the canal on the terms
proposed in the bill.
Messrs. Charles Roardman and
g. H. Semers, took the ground that
there would be no benefits derived
from the building of a competing
line to the coal fields, and they did
not think the price proposed was
equal to the value of the property 20
be abandoned.
Colonel Nevin made a strong ar
gument in opposition to the bill.
The abandonment of the canal and
the building of a railroad along the
line would not, in his opinion, cheap.
en- freight rates. The history Of
abandonments was against any such
proposition. In the past where the
canal has been abandoned the rail.
road rates, having no competition
from the waterways, had increased.
He cited the condition of affairs
along the Miami and Erie canal,
where shipments, because of the com
petition, could be made for double
the distance at one-half the cost.
If the property is abandoned there is
no assurance that the railroad will
be maintained andthat $4,000 rental
paid. The State would get only
the $50, 900. but the property would
be abandoned.
Ex-Representative ". P. Price
characterized the bill as speculative
scheme, aud paid his respects to Mr.
Sleeper, who is the principal hacker
IF the measure in the House.
Colonel Weldy pointed out the in.
;onsistencies, as he termed them, in
the bill. The bill absolutely aban-
dons the property tor canal purposes
ind then provides that if the COM
,any ceases to maintain a railroad |
'long its banks, it shall revert to the !
State. But there would be nothing
o revert. 1t would be useless as
ANAL, having been destroyed for
'ailroad. In addition to this the
State proposes to abandon tue prop
'rty for canal purposes without any
ecurity. The So, 900 rental might
'e paid, and it might not. There
s no guarantee that this will be
lone.
The committee reached no conclu-
ion, and it is now evident that cer-
ain amendments, as previously in,
icated, will be made, if the bill is
eported favorbly to the House.
trong pressure is being brought to
ear to have clause put in to sell
be property to the highest bidder.
