While there are some people who
may take pleasure In noting the unfor-
tunate circumstance of q minister OF the
gospel being found guilty of an indis-
cretion, which may be construed as an
act of immortality, we believe that the
purest minded people will take differ
ent view of the case and will look upon
it with deep sorrow and a feeling ol
regret and pity for one whose profes'
sion and work has been to teach others
to lead pure lives, but who should justly
or otherwise be found guilty OF an
offense which should bar him from 8
continuance in the work he had chosen
and in which he has done much good
Religion and the church, however, are
net blamable for the acts of any of theil
followers.

While it is very probable that every
citizen of this State would be pleased
to have our State capitol building
equal il not superior to that OF any
other state, it is also q. fact that Gov,
Bushnell's postponement of the work on
account OF the stringency of the times,
was approved. Now comes plan by
which $2,000,000 can be saved the state.
The plan in brief is this:
Remove the state library from the
capitol building to the grounds of the
Ohio State University. Erect build
ing at the University for home for
the library. Remove the supreme
court, the law library, the Office of the
supreme court clerk, and of the attor-
ney general to the space now occupied
by the state library and the Senate,
and remove the Senate to the space
now occupied by the supreme court aud
the law library. BY so doing the Sen
ate and house can use the same COM
mittee rooms.
1t is admitted that if these changes
were made, there would be plenty OF
room in the state house for all the de-
partments for many years to come, and
the state would not be called upon to
expend S2,000,000, fact which would
be very pleasing to the Taxpayers OF
the state.
Commenting upon this subject, the
Toledo Blade says:
There are good reasons why this
plan should be carried out. The state
library consists OF about 45, 900 volumes.
While this library is open to the state,
only 800 books are taken out each
month, and these principally by Off.
cials or clerks about the building.
If the state library were moved tC
the State University, it would be oI
great benefit to that institution, and
would aid materially in building it up,
The space now occupied by the state
| library is one-fourth of an entire floor OF
the capitol building. Aside from tax.
ing up so much space, it costs the state
$4,000 year to run the library. This
is out of proportion to the benefit de.
rived from 1t at present. By placing
it at the University 1t would do much
towards building up that institution,
and making it what it should be, q
leading educational center. There are
thousands of rare and valuable books in
the state library, and they should be
used 10 far greater extent than al
present. They would be used were
they placed at the University.

The reason why Col. Probert has de-
clared himself candidate for Senator
lal homo rs, is very plainly and truthfully
stated in the following item taken from
the Sentinel:
Colonel Probert concluded to an
nounce his candidacy for senator from
Wood county only after looking care
fully into the situation and upon dis
covery that the opposition to Senator
Hankey was 40 widespread, d,uncompromis-
ing and emphatic that there seemed no
hope of his denomination. He discuv-
cred not only opposition in Wood county
but virulent brand of it in Lucas
county. The sentiment in Lucas is tC
support Woou county man for Sena-
tor. The newspapers and leading Re-
publicans have repeatedly stated this
but they qualify the statement by insist
ing that this county shall present mar
who can secure the vote of his party
and who will not haye record upor
ripper and similar legislation that will
prove a fatal handicap in Toledo. wher,
the independent Republican vote is yer.
powerful, and where there is bite
feeling against MIR. Hankey. 1t wa
upon this understanding of the case tina
Colonel Proberr entered the race, and Ia
is making fair, manly AMI clean can
yass. His record will bear the closes
scrutiny. He will not start III on
hopeless fight against Democratic argu
ment OF official inconsistency. He vii
have no apologies to make nor excuse
to offer. The thunder of the Democratl
press that is now being stored up for us
il Mr.. Hankey is nominated will prov
impotent IN his case, He is the logici
candidate, and an excellent compromil
under the present conditions,

"The jingo Republican papers are
holding out to the people that the day
the tariff bill is passed wheat will be
81, laborers in demand at So a day, and
money coming by every mail to every
body-or to that effect at least" says
the Bowling Green Tribune, Republi-
can paper. The Commercial has seen
good many statements like the above
in Democratic newspapers, but we con-
fess that we haYe never looked for any
thing of the kind in our Republican
exchanges Commercial.
You need not be at all astonished at
this evidence of peculiar situation in
the Tribune office. That same paper
recently announced that the only people
who wanted Senator Hanna endorsed
for second term, were few country
editors who wanted post offices, but
they learned of their mistake after
hearing from the State convention
The Tribune may mean well, but its
judgment is sometimes badly warped.

Good roads not only mean larger
loads, they mean faster trips. They
mean that where it required four horses
to draw q given load while the road
was poor, only two horses are necessary
after it is properly improved; that the
wagon and the buggy will last twice as
long, because of less hard usage on
gravel hills and stony roads. They
mean that the distance to the next
house is decreased by half, because 1t
takes only half as long as before to
reach it with the buggy.-Pemberville
