THAT nothing succeeds like success
has been proven by the Wright
brothers of Dayton, who are now in
France demonstrating the value OF
their heavier than air machine.
These two Ohio men have made q
success of their business and now
are being watched by the crowned
heads of Europe, while their home
state is buying medals for them. Had
these two been less successful in their
attempts to navigate the air, they
lwonlld have been shaved into the
Darius Green class and instead OF
buying medals for them, the state
would be considered admitting them
to one of the hospitals for the insane.

Columbus, o., March 1S--Wheu
Governor Harmon sent his special
message to the Legislature last Fri
day urging that some action be
taken before final adjournment TO
recoup the states finances It was
sneered at in the senate as a bn
of buncomb Cor political effect. From
the Republican side of the senate
came the ridiculous assertion that
the governor purposely held back
his special message until the clos
ing hours of the session, that there
was not time enonlgh Lett to take up
and pass any of the measures that
had been introduced, and that the
governor knew it.
Let us look into this matter n
minute to see how it's facts stand
IL cannot be successfully chargec
that the governor was actuated by
political motives when he discussed
this subject in his inaugural ad-
dress January H. Neither can It
be assumed that he was Hplaylng
politics" when he made taxation
one of the chief topics of his mes
saoe January 80.
Surely nobody would believe ahat
p rtiSan bias in making the speific
recommendation that n single board
be substituted for the dozen exist
ing eX-oflicial boards to better eli
force present tax laws. for the gov
ernor is one OF the. exoficio mem
bers of some OF those boards.
The governors argument that bet
ter results could be obtained under
existing laws If enforced by one
board devoting all its time to such
service than can be expected under
the present system, for the reason
that the state officials who comprise
these boards have so little idle time
that they can render only perfume
tory service in the discharge of
these additional duties, Is so plain
and logical the people win readily
understand that business, not poli-
tics, Is at the bottom of the gov
ernor's interest in the whole mat
ter.
When the legislature recessed
from Tuesday, March TO Friday
March 12 without enacting any law
to recruit the states finances his
last opportunity to urge such aotiol
was when the legislature met Fri
day morning for its final session
Was there sufficient time durinl
Fridays session for such action
to be taken as urged in the COVER
nor's spedlal message? Let us see
The Legislature met that morning
at $3.50 o'clock. The governors
message was submitted Immediately
after reading the journal, which
was about 10 o'clock The time
fixed for final Adjournment was 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, six hours
after the reading of the message.
The Woods taxation DILL has pass
ed the house and was in the hands
of the senate Judiciary committee;
all other taxation bills were in the
hands OF the senate taxation COM
mittee, so that dt was I'D to. the

Even the men, headed by Boss Cox,
who have been trying for years and
years ito cheat the state out of her
canals, are silent. They do not dare
say word about the probing which
fine governor plans to give to the
canals and those who have been
connected with them. They know
well enough that the governor is
right in his stand and that the people
are with him. They do not dare 10
open their mouths in an attempt to
Justify themselves or to discredit
the motives of the governor. They
have been caught mapping and win
be forced to submit to the grilling

The senate could have passed the
Woods bill and made II a law In
the same time that was consumed
in passing Senator Clevenger's reso-
luton TO create a special commit
tee of three senators to make a
digest of the states tax laws and
report in October for consideration
at the regular session next year.
The house recessed from IL to
11:45 A. M, during which Senator
Foraker delivered IS minute
speech; then the house recessed
until 1890 p. NJ. because IL had
nothing to do. This shows that
the house had ample time to act
on any taxation bill that might have
been sent over by the senate.
in tne senate more time was kill
ed than i'm the house Recess was
taken at 11:45 A. M. until II
O'Clock TO receive Senator Foraker
and listen to short address by
him. After this recess Lieutenant
Governor Treadway called Senator
Tuttle of Columbus to the chair anu
an hour was spent in "horse-play"
That hour would have been ample
time to pass either OF the five tax
alton bills pending in the senate,
and still have had three hours of
the session left for the house to
act on III III te senate had prefer
red any OF the other bills to the
Woods bill. But the senate did
nothing Of the kind and the house
spent an hour singing songs and
making funny speeches.
Instead of remaining in session
until four o'clock the hour fixed
| for adjournment, the clocks were
turned forward dnstead of baclO to
show a 6ictitious recording OF tins
when the gavel fell in the house
and senate to end the session.
Hence there was one hour and SO
minutes during which some action
could have been taken in response
to the governors special message
before the hour fixed for adjourn
ment
In a matter of such vast import
ance TO the state, the clocks could
have been turned back as easily as
forward, III the session had been
4P. M. to comply with the COVER
nor'S urgent message This has
been done at almost every session
heretofore and the session OF last
year did not close until the Sun
iday morning after the fixed hour OF
adjournment, the diouion OF keeping
within the time being maintained
by turning back the clock.
Therefore, the criticisms that
IGovernor Iarmon's message was for
political effect, that it came too
late to be acted on, is not well
founded.
The fact must remain and stand
forth clearly before the people of
Ohio, that responsibility for failure
to recuperate the states shrinking
financial condition rests where
Governor Harmon frankly placed II
upon the Legislature that has stu
Idiorsly endeavored from the outset
Ito hamper his administration

INDICATIONS ARE THAT
CUBAN REBELLION is OVER

Havana, Cuba, March 1S.-The in
dicauions are that the government is
now in "a fair way TO crush promptly
the incipient revolution which broke
out In the province or Santa Clara
Monday night.
After withholding news of the trou-
BILE all day, ihe palace officials last
might announced that the father OF
two of the members OF the band
headed by Sergeant CoI'tes of the Ru-
raj Guard had visited Gen Montea-
guido, chief of the board, at CANA
tlfani and told him that the insurg-
ents implored the clemency OF the
government and were anxious to sur
render on the promise that their
lives would be spared
Gen. ManteaglIdo, accompanied by
a strong escort, thereupon started for
the insurgent camp. The general
eNpedted TO receive their surrender
Ib6ore morning.
The insurgents are now COM
pletely surrounded by a Gordon Of
more than 1000 rurals, drawn from
tn egrandsons IN various parts OF the
Island, Including Havana, but owing
TO the rugged character of the coun-
try 1t will be extremely difficult for
the troops to come to close quarters
with the insurgents.
While the government still insists
that the band consists of only eight
men, It IL alleged that the movement
is far reaching and includes quite a
large number OF those who have be-
come disseminated with the way af-
fairs have been conducted.
