The Arch City.

Columbus, Ohio, is now styled
the arch city because of the many
beautiful lighting arches across
the streets of that city. The
Improvement Society of Logan has
also been working on proposition
of that nature, and probably
before the summers suns are so
very warm, the lighting arches
across Main street in Logan will
be thing of reality and not con-
lecture. If every person in the
town would help the Improvement
society with even their encourage
ment instead of their frowns and
hammers, the work will be quickly
done, and the beauty of the town
every year enhanced.

THE PASSING OF GOVERNOR HARRIS.

THAT THE retiring governor Andrew Harris is Il
man, no person dares doubt for Il moment He
was probably too good to be Governor that is in the
sense Of being easy. He too easily persuaded
to make good governor. When the bosses of his
party spoke, the old governor would hop instead of
making them hop. When he convinced that he
ought to investigate some of the public offices, he
seemed too tmid to undertake the job. We believe
that Governor Harris right at heart but did not
have force of character enough to do in the face of
formidable opposition what he bad in his heart to
do There upon the people had confidence in
him. There great mal-feasance in office in Co.
lumbus This every body knew but they could not
get the governor to take action against the grafers
and the only thing left to do to get someone in
the Governors office that would bring the offenders
upon the carpet. The Governor was chameleon In
nature, vacatng in opinion and never positive. In
fact wonder il he not too old to fifty manage
affairs of the governors office. We wish him we'll
and hope that he may live many years yet and enjoy
his home and his farm and his family, and the mem
ory of having served the of Ohio three years

THE PRESIDENT AND THE HOUSE

There seems to be some controversy betw cen the
President of the United States and the House of
Congress- The chief executive has seen fit to place
postmas.ers of all eastern and central states the
civil service basis and assigns his reason that
there has been too much bartering of patronage on
the part of congressman which renders the service in
such offices often in the hands Of very incompetent
men, who by of their pull with the congress
man personally, have secured these positions and are
wholly unified and disgrace to the service. In
face OF these facts, and the president believes them
be facts and he is far off from the truth the
congressman have taken terribly They are
shocked that the President would even hint at such
thing and they claim to be willing to stand up and
be searched. Well, perhaps they had better not
make too much of splurg about the awful2 accusa-
ton of the President for it may he that they might
possibly get into deeper water wading around in the
mud Governmental quicksand is mighty treacherous
sometimes, end they should know, if they do not
that the President is in close touch with every dis
trict in the country, aud he cannot help knowing of
the rottenness of congressional politics The only
mistake the President made s that he did go af-
ter these barterng congressman before the election
when there sixty per cent of them up for re.
election.
Then again at the last session of congress the
president asked that bill be passed granting power
to the president and other executive heads the use
of the governmental secret service men in the probe
of official Investigations, and the wise congress
turned down the presidents recommendation and
left him almost rowerless to seek out and punish
crime in high places. Because of this failure on the
part of congress to assist the president in his probe
propositions he now asks again tn they take up
this measure, and If they gun shy themselves of
the probe they may eliminate the congressman from
the bane of secret service shopping around. Strange
to say these congressman that failed to pass the
probe bill, are very angry at the insnuation of
the chief executive and almost unanim ously pass
resolutions demanding of the president an explana
tion of his base insinuaton. We do not imagine the
president is frightened for the fear that he cannot
satisfy their Missourian curiosity. If all the con.
gressona districts of Ohio and of the country teened
with alledged irregularities and are as shorn of
belief in the honest distribution of patronage as the
Eleventh District of Ohio, it is well that congress
voted down the secret service BILL in view of the
fact that it did not eliminate congressman from
secret probe, intimated by the pres ident. The
chief executive put it mildly to them in that he sal
that he would like to have the law even though they
eliminated themselves from the powers of it's en-
forcement Should he be censured for thus sneak
ing feelingly to them.

HERE'S TO GOVERNOR HARMON.

On MONDAY of last week Governor Judson Harmon
was inaugurated chief executive of the state of
Ohio Perhaps not in years has there entered upon
the duties of Governor of the state that gives
more promise of filling the Office with marked ability
than does Governor Harmon Indeed were 1t the
fortunes of citizenship that this day he had been
called upon to take the oath of President of the
United States, this land could not have found more
capable person. Governor Harmon is one of the
most learned lawyers in the state and a man of wide
business experiences AS Attorney General of the
United States in the Cabinet of President Cleveland,
he was indeed useful man to his country and gave
out legal opinions that became part of the founda
tion stone of this government. Also in this capacity
Governor Harmon gave evidence of his antagonism to
tie evils that exist IN high places, and took place
among the foremost of statesman for the enforce
ment of law. AS governor of Ohio predict for
him of the most profound administrations this
state register upon his tablets of memory. His
vast experience receiver of railroad for many
years has given him much business experience in
the successful operation of the property. We say
here's to the governor and may he have good health
and may his administration be a success

Governor Harmon dignided protest, in his mes

ernor Harris of j. G, Harris to the state railroad
commission, position which becomes vacant we'll
within the and under tho ninstration of the
present governor, is we'll taken 1t is both logical
and right. The appontment belongs morally, ii not
legally, to Governor Harmon and the principal in
yolved is as Governor Harmon we'll says, of greater
Importance than any mere question of patronage.
This attempt of Governor Harris to project himself
into the administration of his successor we are
quite sure has not met with public approval. Ger
tainly before Governor Harmons plain presentation
of the facts in this Governor Harris has placed
himself in position which is indefensble. Fair
play and the official proprietes have been disregard
ed for the passing advantage of political appoint
ment. The game was not worth the candle. The
verdict of the people was that Mr. Harmon and not
Mr. Harris should be the governor of Ohio That
verdict should have been fully respected and accept
ed with dignity by Mr.. Harris.
