The Ohio Way.

Springfield, o., March 4,-The circuit
court yesterday issued decree Ousting
Mayor John M. Good from Office. The pro-
ceedings were brought under the Garfield
election law, which requires candidates af-
ter the election to file sworn statements of
all their expenditures. Judge Adams said
the testimony showed that Mayor Good
spent 1888 so in the campaign which he
failed to include in his sworn statement of
expenses and which included only $45. OF
the above amount S91 was spent for beer.
Mayor Good also promised the trades and
labor assembly to appoint union man on
the board of public works which is against
the law, and that organization backed the
custer proceedings. Mayor Good, who Ii
one of the most prominent business men In
Springfield, was prohibitionist, but was
elected as the democratic candidate. This
was his first experience in politics and a
test Of the law was made on him. The
sworn statements of most of the candidates
have been disputed but not carried to the
courts.

Latest reports from the South put the es-
innate of the cotton crop now being market
ed at about 100000 bales, which is by
far the largest ever produced, and four times
as large as that of the year t872. May II
not be over production rather than the fall
of silver which has caused the decline In
the prices of cotton since the amount now
produced is four times as much as in the
year preceding the ''crime" and since the
cost of production has also been greatly
reduced?

good crops last year brought prosperity to

An Impprtant Decision

The News and Courier, of the Both
ultimo, gives an abridgcmcnt of a very
important decision, relating to street
paving, which affects all municipalities
of the State. We can give no more
than a brief statement. 1t seems that
the city council of Greenville levied
upon citizen an assessment Of two
thirds the costs of laying a sidewalk
upon which his land abutted. The
citizen sought and obtained in the cir
cult court a perpetual injunction, re-
straining the city council from collect
ing the assessment.
On appeal to the supreme court the
decision of the circuit court was af-
frmed. The following is the conclu
sion:
In concluding Mr.. Pope says: This
court has announced that shis State
has repudiated and still continues to
repudiate the doctrine of supposed
benefits to owners Of lots of land abut
ting on public streets in levying taxes.
and we are now satisfied that such for
mer decision when it upheld assess
ments made upon owners Of lots abut-
ting on streets when improved side
walks and drains are constructed was
wrong and should be reversed, as op
posed to our present Constitution.
Such conclusions on our part renders it
unnecessary that we should pass upon
any other question raised by the ap-
peal. 1t is, therefore, the judgment Of
this court that the judgment Of the cir
cult court be affirmed. '
All of the court except Justice Jones
concur in the opinion.

His Happiest Moment.

John" she asked, cuddling up to
him, for it was the seventh anniversary
of their marriage, what was the hap
piest moment of your life?" "Ah.
dear, I remember it we'll. shall never
forget it. If | live to bea hundred
years old that moment will always stand
out as plainly as it does tonight. She
sighed and nestled a little closer, look
ing longingly up into his honest blue
eyes. After moments silence she
urged: Yes, but John, dearest, you
haven't told me when it was. 'Oh,
he answered, Il thought you had
guessed it. Surely it ought to be easy
enough for you to do so. 1t was when
you came to me last fall, ifyou remem-
Der, aud told me that you had decided
to trim over one Of your old hats so as
to make it do for the winter. Then
the celebration Of the seventh annlvcr-
sary of their marriage became formal

Good Sense.

Since the election the newspapers
have been kept busy publishing cards
of thanks from the successful. as well
as the unsuccessful candidates. We
hope the season for all these gushing
thanks is over, and We could wish it not
to return. These cards are all the pro-
dnct OF a pernicious sentiment, that is,
that the people elect man to Office for
his own personal benefit, whereas the
true principle is, or ought to be, that
they elect him for their own benefit.
We can hardly see how man with a
proper appreciation Of the duties and
responsibilities Of Office can believe or
feel that his personal thanks are due
the public for giving him one. We
hope the custom viii be abolished, for
it is in keeping with an idea already
too prevalent, that office is favor in
stead of trust-Gatfney Ledger.

"Arbor Day .

The following from the Columbia
Register is of especial local as well as
general interest. The provisions of the
act on the subject of Arbor Day should
be carried out to the fullest extent in
the public schools, and it will be worth
the while of the older people also to
give the matter their attention: At
the last meeting of the general assemb-
ly an act authorizing the proper observ-
ance of Arbor Day by the public schools
throughout the state was passed. LII
accordance with the provision. Superln-
tendent NIayfeld will issue a circular
letter to the county superintendents OF
education citing the act and request
them to notify every teacher in their
county of such law and also ask that it
be complied with.
This is the first time the Law has been
put into operation in this state, and
Superintendent N1ayield thinks that
much good is to be derived from the
observance of the day. 1t will teach
pupils to appreciate the value of orna-
! mental shrubbery and shade trees. Very
few. it is claimed. know how to prepare
ground for planting, snd this act is
thought to be good plan for teaching
pupils such essential lessons. The
beneficial results derived atschool are
expected to manifest themselves in the
home, and consequently more attention
will be devoted to the cultivation of
flowers and trees. The following is
the text of the act under which the day
will be Observed:
That the free public schools Of this
state observe the third Friday in No
Tember Of each year as tArbor Day, and
on that day the school officers and teach
ers shall conduct such exercises and
engage in planting such shrubs, plants
and trees as will impress on the minds
of the pupils the proper value and ap-
probation to be placed on flowers, orna-
mental shrubbery and shade trees"
The act provides that the third Fri
day in November shall be observed
Many of the public schools do not open
until later, and Of course that day can
not be observed. Superintendent May
field announces that those schools
which are not in session on that day
have the privilege of naming some
other day. However, each scool is re-
quired to observe Arbor Day and this
option is merely for its convenience.
South Carolina is not the originator Of
this movement. nor is she among the
first to adopt such law. There are, in
addition to this state, 35 states and ter
ritor;es in the Union that observe the
day BY requirement Of law.
