iAFKNMA.WKDNESD Y.Jan. 13, 1892 INAUGURATED. MaJ. McKinley Assumes the Func tions of Governorship. An Imposing Pageant of Military and Civil Organization Wltnasied by a Vat Throng of Foople Other State Officers Sworn In Tho Evening Raoeptlon.

Columbus, Jan. 13. William McKinley, was inaugurated governor of Ohio yesterday with an eclat of impos ing1 pageantry and numbers unexamplea in the state's history. Notwithstanding the severity of the winter weather the city was crowded with people from all parts of Ohio and large delegations from neighboring states. Not since the na tional Grand Army encampment 01 1888 has Columbus been the theater of such crowds and enthusiastic demonstrations.

The grand occasion has been non-partisan, the political friends and foes of the new governor all Joining with the utmost harmony and zeal In the inauguration exercises and parade. All the state institutions and city schools had a holiday to witness the CTand demonstration, which Ohio's capital never saw on any grander scale or with more enthusiasm. Hours before the gubernatorial chair passed from the occupancy of one great political chieftain to his successful op ponent, the streets were crowded and general business largely suspended. At a. m.

the legislature, supreme court, state officers and members of the press assembled in the senate chamber. and there, preceded by Gov. Campbell and Gov. -elect McKinley, marched to the rotunda of the capitol, where a stand had been erected for the ceremonies. Usually these have taken place on the east terrace of the capitol, but Maj.

McKinley having just recovered from la grippe it was deemed prudent not to expose him to the wintry blasts without. At noon, after a kappy Introduction peeoh by Gov. Campbell, Chief Justice Marshall J. Williams, of the supreme court, administered the oath of office to MaJ. McKinley, who thereupon assumed the functions of the governorship.

He then delivered his inaugural address, surrounded on the stand by his wife, Mrs. McKinley, Ex-Gov. Campbell and family, the legislature, supreme court, members of the press, relatives 'f his family and other distinguished and invited guests. Upon the conclusion of McKinley's inaugural, he and his staff and party proceeded to the grand stand on East Broad street to review the parade. Mrs.

McKinley and lady friends wjitnasjaedit- irom Henry T. Chittenden's commodious residence. The procession was divided into three divisions, all under the command of ex- Adjt-Gen. H. A.

Axline. The whole brigade of the first division was" pre ceded by Libertia's band, of Cincin nati, with sixty-five pieces, followed Dy the Lincoln club, of that city, 227 in number, followed by eleven republican clubs over the state and four bands, and the Bucyrus guards. The seoond brieade was preceded by Bellstedt's Cincinnati band, of sixty pieces, fol lowed by the Blaine club of that city. 190 in number, followed by fourteen reoublican clubs and three bands. The Lincoln and Blaine clubs, of Cincinnati, Garheld club, of Dayton, and Lincoln club, of this city, from their large num bers, imposing appearance and elegant uniforms were the recipients of tumultuous cheers all along the line.

The second division was preceded by Ithe G. A. E. band of Canton, Gov. Mc Kinley's home, and the Cleveland Grays, the finest military company in Ohio, and which acted as the governor's es cort of honor.

It was followed long array of organizations of Knights lof Pythias, young ladies' club of Toledo, of Junior Order of American Mechanics, of Patriotic Sons of America, of Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows, republican clubs, a large number of miscel laneous organizations, city, county and state officials. The third division consisted of the First, Second, Third, Fifth, Eighth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth regiments of infantry, and Ninth bat talion and First regiment of artillery. it was 3 o'clock, standard time, before the procession moved, and the streets were densely packed all along the line. which embraced the very heart of the city. The parade had over 9,000 men in line, made up of political clubs, soci eties, commanderies, military and semi- i military organizations and the Ohio National Guard, was the grandest ever witnessed at any gubernatorial inaugu in this city.

The procession was over a mile in length. Gov. McKinley remained on the reviewing stand until ithe last man had passed, and was then driven back to the hotel. Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes was present at the inauguration.

I No accidents occurred to mar the day's ceremonies, and all political feeling was hushed on this memorable oc casion. i Lieut. Gov. A. L.

Harris, Attorney General D. K. Watson, State Treasurer 'W- T. Cope, State Auditor E. W.

Poe, Commissioner of Public Works C. Groce and Food Commissioner W. J. McKean were subsequently sworn in 1n their respective offices in the capitoL Gov. and Mrs.

Tbe Senatorial contest between Sherman and Faraker was settled last Wednesday at tbe Republican caucus held in the House of Bepre-sentativesat Columbus. Although the wriggling, wiggling Foraker performed all sorts or political antics, to the delight of his loud mouthed boomers, and although he and they claimed with impudent assurance the entire Ohio per-tion of tbe world. Senator Sherman came off easily the winner. The vote stood 63 to 38 with one for McKinley and Foster respectively. While we regret the necessity of seeing a Republican go to the Senate from Ohio, we are of tie opinion that as between the two candidates Sherman is infinitely better qualified in every way to best represent the true interests of the people of this great commonwealth It is the difference between a sound, thinking mind and the flashy exuberances of a sensational genius whose ability is measured by his vocabulary of fire eating adjectives and whose stability is that common to all such characters, liable to fluctuate with the rise and fall of every popular wave Of momentary agitation.

Senator Sherman thinks and acts for the future, however erroue-us his views may be. Foraker is a time server a nd "jnnpB with the crowd." but he is a fighter and as Hie won! goes a brilliant campaigner." and worried Uncle John not a little As it Is. there is no love lost between the two factions, and if a great many Sherman scalps do not dangle at the ueit of this modern Ajax next yeai it will be no fault of Mr. Foraker. protection and patriotism axfi implacable foe.

Tbe constitutionality of tbe resolution was doubted by some of the ablest democrats in Congress. Senator Morgan spoke yesterday in favor of bis resolution directing the Committee on Foreign Affairs to procure additional information concerning the Nicaragua canal. He strongly favors the guarantee ol bonds asked for by tbe company, but unless there is a change of sentiment there is no probability of the bill passing the House.

As one prominent member of that body puts it: I favor the building of the canal by this government if necessary, but am opposed to any guarantee of bonds issued by a private corporation The TJ. 8.

His influence for good in the home was of no small moment, his home life being especially beautiful. Tbo loving care, tbe gentle admonition and tender watchfulness exerted over his younger Lrotheis, was beautiful in the ex.reme. It was kindness and consideration to all, being more solicitous for the pleasure ol others than for himself. He was a conscientious Chri-tlan boy, believing in the Bible, its teachings being exemplified in his daily life.

But a day or two before losing consciousness he expressed a desire to do good in tbe world, and his determination to do all that he could in the promotion of happiness of others. He was ever on the alert for self improvement, receiving criticism and advice iu the same kindly spirit. He early evinced a lov for learning, and being a great and reader and close observer, and being in possession of a retentive memory, had stored in tbe deep recesses of thought, a wonderful amount of knowledge He was well versed in ancient aud modern history, as well as the general topx ol the day, teking great interest in.the political world, there being bu' few who have a more complete knowledge of the aff.tirs of our government He was passionately fond of poetry, being well versed with the works of some of tbe btst authors Shakespeare Virgil, Homer and Pope being his especial graduated from tne Mantpa High School witb honors, June 6th, 189), when he expeoted to enter College and prepare a foundation for tbe legal profession.

Skillful medical aid was unavailing.

of Dayton, Intro luced the discus sion on the Pear by a short talk. He said that he bad been an extensive pear grower for moro than thirty years, and had planted a great many varieties. If he were planting now he would set but few kinds and those ot tbe late fall and winter varieties. Pears were so abundant last season in Montgomery county that Bartlctts sold in the Dayton markets at 50 cents a bushel. and some varieties were allowed to rot in the orchard for want of a market, while the Law rence and other varieties which could be held until late In the season brought much better prices.

Tbe Lawrence has paid him better to the tree than any other kind he ever raised It is of good quality, always bears large crops of fine fruit, and never blights If he were plant ing a pear orchard of 1WJ trees, at least 60U of them would be Lawrence Of the other 500, he would have many Keiffers and a few Bartlctts, Tbe Keiffer does well and will alwaj sell. Mr. Ford said Keiffer pear trees are quite lia ble to overbear. They frequently bring abet ter price than the Bartlett. It is one of tbe best lor canning purposes, letaiuing tbe pear flavor much better than any other variety.

Tbe Lawrence does not succeed well ith Mr. Dean. while be is much pleased with bis success with the Keiffer. While Mr. 1 rowbridge does not think the perfect pear has yet been introduced, be believes that tbe Lawrence comes nearest to the ideal for many sections.

It does not blight much N. H. Albaugh said that the Keiffer takes the place among pears that the Ben Davis does among apples. He bad lately planted an orchard of 1000 trees, and they are all Speaking of the hardiness ol different varieties B. F.

Albaugh said that of 29 trees planted jears ago. but five remained, and tbey are all Flemish Beauty It is a September pear of fine quality, but not a long keeper. He recommended the use of ashes to prevent blight. He bad used a heavy clay soil, thoroughly under-drained, for a pear orchard, witb good success. ('lpmpntsi a commission merchant of Cleveland, said that be received 1200 bushels ot Keiffer pears from New Jersey last fall.

Al though they were shipped in bulk, tbey came in good shape. They made a good appearance and sold fairly well, but he did not remember of ever selling the second barrel to tbe same person. The American peopie will sometimes buy a thing for show. Nothing in tbe pear line sells like tbe Bartlett Mr. Albaugh said that those Keiffers were rot properly handled.

They are not a good dessert pear taken just as they are picked from the tree, but when properly handled in the rip ening process they are good even to eat out of hand. He wants to grow a pear that be can ship 200 or SIO miles and get a good return and the fact that they were shipped from New Jer sey to Ohio in bulk and did not suffer mater tally, goes far to prove that the Keiffer is the pear for distant market. It is peculiarly nttea for a southern clime. Georgia grown ones are large and good and he had seen them from Cal. ifornla that woulj weigh two pounds each Mr, Farnsworth considers tbem very good for canning and culinary pur posts, but poor eating hen raw.

He has a row of tbem along the highway, and they prove a perfect safe guard to his orchard. He frequently finds them scatteied along the road with a single bite taken from them. The Bartlett, Flemish Beauty, Powell and Lawrence give bim the most profit He advises the planting vwie- ties which have an acid nature lor culinary purposes, and those that will keep well.

He has alto crown nearly every variety, ar.d some seem almost perfect, but each lacks something. The circumstances surrounding the growth of the vine may improve or mar tbe qualities cf the frnit A grape that one year may seem perfect, may be very inferior the next.

The berries should be of even size, with a fine, sweet, delicious flavor without muskiness, with just acid enough to be pleasant to the taste lie named the Witt as coming to of any of our native crapes It bears early and abuudanily.

Al though no grape does equally well in all sections, he believes that nearly periect grapes will ultimately be produced for various sections Among tbe standard, tried which are not found materially wanting he mentions the Delaware.

Tbe Woodruff Bed is a new grape of much promise Tt has eood shipping qualities and.

like the Niagara, grows better the longer it hangs upon the vines." Mr. Albaugh claimed that one of the chief requisites of tbe coming grape must be good sb ipping qualities LETTER FKOIH LYDIA LOKD DAVIS. Li Mad, Shanci, China, Sept. 18. 1891.

Dear Ladie of the Misatonary Society. Ravenna. Ohio: A beautiful morning the last of August found some of us on donkeys, some in carts, prepared for a short ride to Jen Tsung, a village where the mission has recently rented property. The country, jn this plentitude of Summertime, is rich in cultivation of corn, jrheat. millet, beans, squash anil melons.

Sometimes we were riding through a corn field, the grain grewingup to the roadside, there being no fences. We crossed two river beds from which the wa ter was all gone, this being a very dry Summer, All the prayers from the people to tbeir rain god have failed to cloud the orb of day and bring re freshing showers. The place in Jen Tsieng was one of the first ones which, as I beheld, I wished my parents could see. We see so much dirt and filt that is repulsive to our American eyes, that this place was a great relief and delight to us. though now its roofs are beginning tp fall in, and mucb money would be needed to again put it in good re pair.

It was just such a place you would imagine belonged to the luxuriant Eastern man of olden days, before the opium came and laid the axe at the root of this Oriental life. It was formerly a Summer residence of an official, and the houses are mostly lattice or open work. Large rooms where in times gone by we could seem to see him seated with his friends about him, drinking their wine from tiny cups which hold no more than tablespoonful.and smoking from their long brass pipes, while servants run hither and thither. supplying the wants of these gentlemen, to whom idleness is but a badge of their wealth. In another court can yon see the women Chinese beauties, whoce feet are so daintily and painfully small, enclosed in tiny shoes of silk, richly How do they walk? you ask.

0. these wealthy ones gently lay their long nailed fingers npon the shoulders of a servant or slave, and so trip or hobble about the courts. Their true complexion is eoncealed by the white, red, pink and blaok paint with which their faces are covered. Their garments are of silk, and their fingers ornamented with rings, making up in size what they lack in beauty, Their ear rings are usually of silver, as are their hair ornaments, which are all very large and clumsy. But these wealtny people are here no longer.

The place Is vacant. No water fills the aquarium. The theater court-is vacant gone are the family and their guests the polite magistrate.the wives with their silken garbs, and the unwashed children. The place is quiet and still. Where are tbey, one can but wonder, and grow silent as we meditate.

Are they still, spending their lives in frivolity, or have their bodies returned into the bosom of mother earth, their spirits gone again to the Creator, there to be jud ged by tbo dec is done in the body? From this place we hope now to have the Gospel of Jesus preaohed. When the gate is open, and the court is full where once the theater ac. tors played their foolish parts, from here will be preached the good news of salvation. Will you who hear, not pray that those who listen may be touched, and repent and be saved Could the people of America see these queer people, I wonder if they would see in them some Amerioan ways, which, when carried to an extreme, look so repulsive Their small feet are but ours pinched a few more inches. The paint on their faces is only an additional coat.

The rings in their ears are only larger and more heavy. The pipe has only thirty-six inches added to it, and serves also as a cane. Could the polished men and Bjiltgred women, but see the cards which they envelope in leathern eases, and play with Jeweled fingers, bandied by these ignorant heathen women, whose minds are utterly void of knowledge; and the dirty, lousy, low men. as they set by the wayside, playing with almost the same cards, me thinks could the Americans once see the cards in such surroundings, they would lay them aside foroyer. But this was pot tbe end of our journey.

From here we went to Mr. Liu (loo) the teacher of the boys' sohool in Tai-ku.

The women sit upon the k'ang in one room, while the men eat from a table in another. Mr Liu invi ted the ladies of our party to eat with our husbands and himself, by which we felt greatly honored, you may be sure. We sat in large, straight backed chairs, and ate from a polished table, with no table cloth or napkin. There was a large dish in the center, containing meat arranged around this, served in saucers, were cold sliced mutton, pork, beans whicb tasted something like salted almonds, a kind of gelatine, boiled eggs, Chinese bread, and rice. could eat this food quite well, it being cooked without their vile concomitauts, which we dislike very much.

We bad saucers for plates, each one helping themselves with their chopstieks. As yet we are not skillful in the use of these. Tbe Chinese handle them very gracefully, but we are most awkward, often getting oar moutu ready for the morsel which is missing when the chopstick reaches it.

Her friends said she would surely die. She could hardly move but take the dread weed (the foreign smoke." as it is called), she would not.

She did live, and she stands today the only case of which we know of any one who who has broken off without help.

Gentlemen op the General I approach the administration of the offlot with whicb I have been clothed by the people deeply sensible of its responsibilities, and re solved to discbarge its duties to the best of mi ability. It is my desire to co-operate with yot In every endeavor to secure a wise, economical and honorable administration, and, so far as can be done, the improvement and elevation of the guDilc service. PROGRESS OF OHIO. The progress of Ohio in population and wealth between 1880 and 1890, as evidenced by the eleventh census of the United States, will be received Dy tne people 01 the state witn pnue and satisfaction.

During this decade the population of the state Increased nearly 15 per while that of municipalities, including cities and towns ol four thousand inhabitants and upwards, increased 43 per cent. Tbe assessed value of property in the state increased 16 per and xnat 01 municipalities 01 more man iour inou-and inhabitants increased nearly 27 per cent. In I85O the per capita of the state debt proper wa ih: imvh) jr. waft eities and towns of Ohio of four thousand lnnao- itants and over, with an aggregate population of 1,387,884 (or 38 per cent, of the total population of the state), have reduced tneir municipal indebtedness until it is only J3.31 per capita. Agriculture, while for a number of years de pressed, shows In IS91 an improvement whicb is to rje nopea win De permanent in uincinnau.

according to the report of the department oi aericulture. during tbe year 1889. wheat was 7t cents per bushel, while In 1891 it was 97 cents. Corn rose from 31 to 53 cents: rye from 57 to 74 cents; and other products of the farm show a like ad vance in prices. Mines and mininsr also show a healthful ad vancement.

In 1880 the petroleum output of th state was 38.940 barrels, wnne in i90 it was barrels. The coal output in 1880 was 6,008,595. tons, while in 1890 it was 8,95,787 tons. The value of sandstone quarried in 1880 was II .871 .924. while In 1890 it was $3,046,656.

Tbe fish industry of the lake shore has increased greatly during the decade. The number of persons actually employed in taking flsb on tbe Ohio lake shores have increased from 925 In 1880 to 1,207 in 1890, or a little over 30 per cent. The capital invested in this industry in 1880 amounted to in 1890 it was $1,207,166 an increase of nearly lo3 per and while there were out nine vessels engagea vn tms industry in 1880, there are twenty-sevei so en-gaped to-day. There has been an increase in milease of rail roads within the limits of the state of from 5,655 miles in 1880 to 7,642 In 1889, on their main tracks an increase of 35 per cent. The cost and value of railroads and equipraenthave increased from $312,459,197 to $802,583,847.

The number of employes engaged upon the lines in Ohio have increased from 29, 8 to 79,578. In 1880 the tonnage of freight moved within the borders of the state was 48.511,186; in 1889 it was 93,132,810 an Increase of va per cent. OHIO AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Coming now to a consideration of the subjects which claim tie attention of tbe legislature: The congress of the United States deemed it fitting that the discovery of America should be commemorated by an international exhibipiou pf the evidences of the progress made in civiliza-tdoh. It is intended to disclose what has been accomplished in industrial art and applied science in every department of human activity.

The eovernment itself will make an exhibit, illustrating in a scientific way the resources of the nation. Fifty-nine nations and fifty states and territories oi tne union nave accepted invitations to participate. Ohio was largely instrumental in securing the location of tbe exposition at the inland metropolis of the republic, near tbe center of its agricultural and commercial interests. The citizens of Chicago and the state of Illinois have performed their part in providing a most desirable site, embracing a thousand acres of land, with a floor-space double that of any previous exposition, and more than $11,000,000. Not only should the legislature of Ohio see to it that ample provision De made to have a creditable exhibit from this state, but the people and their representatives should also urge upori Congress to take such action as will make this exposition worthy the great event it celebrates, and worthy also the dignity and honor of tbe nation.

6TATB FINANCES. The appropriations for public purposes should not at a time like this exceed the receipts of the state treasury. Reports from tbe state treasurer and state auditor show that this safe rule has not at all times been followed. The receipts from regular source; last year were $3,419,000, while the legislatur ippropriated $3,678,416 an excess of appropria Ions over receipts of It is true that $332,000, being a part of the amount received from the general government as a refund from the "direct tax" was passed to the edit of the general revet, 'e fund by the legislature, but this has already l. en exhausted, and the state treasurer has been required ib make advance drafts on the county treasurers to prevent a deficiency.

This expedient of advance drafts, which has been more or less resorted to since 1885, Is contrary to sound business principles, and should be stopped. TAXATION. The people of the state, while submitting patriotically to all needed taxation for the publie service, are in no temper for increased taxation. Their insistency is tha all kinds of property shall bear equally the burdens of taxation. While this may be impossible to secure, tbe legislature should make tbe nearest approach to it possible.

This is a subject which will require your closest attention, and upon it I invite your best deliberation. It has occurred to me that it might be well for the legislature to create a board to be called "The State Tax Revision Commission," that will take into consideration the whole subject of state taxation and the powers of the legislature thereon under the mid niaka report to ihe present general assembly at the adjourned session. 13E PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. The public institutions of the state appeal to legislature and executive for wise and liberal treatment. They should be provided with all needed appropriations.

The cure of the helpless and unfortunate should not be stinted. Prudent liberality toward theru on the part of the legislature will receive the approval of the people of the state. In the performance of the duties imposed upon me in connection with these institutions, ij will be my aim to give them the services of the best men of the state, whose integrity and capacity will insure thecontidenceof the people in their administration. There should be a determination to prevent inefficiency and demoralization in the management of the state institutions through the introduction of extreme partisanship. Tbe Ohio State reformatory at Mansfield should be completed.

It is poor economy to leave the buildings unfinished and in a measure unprotected. The state has already appropriated on land, excavating and buildings, upwards of Put the smull appropriations made from time to time have not enabled the state to take advantage of better contracts which could have been made with larger appropriations. It is reported by the board that $250,000 are required to complete the institution, and this amount, or so much thereof as can ba used to advantage, should be appropriated without delay. The penitentiary at Columbus is already overcrowded. There are many inmates, guilty of their first felony, who are not hardened criminals, who are young, and who could be made good citizens by separating them from their present associates, instructing them in some useful employment, subjecting them to strict discipline, and giving them proper mental and moral training.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS. A law was passed by the last legislature providing for the selection of a permanent location for an agricultural experiment station. Such location, I am adviser" has been secured in Wayne county, where "valuable tract of land and a donation of money huvt been made by the oounty. Permanent buildings will be needed for the successful operation of the important work to be carried on at the station, and in order that there may be no unnecessary dc'ay in tjie prose-putiou of experiineiuti of utuc'u consequence to both producers and consumers, I recommoud that a reasonable appropriatiou be made promptly to this end. Vou need not be reminded that agriculture is one of the most important of our industries, and that it v.ould receive at your hands the most intelligeut and considerate attention.

The farmersalways conservative, and always loyal to home and country will not, it is believed, seek fcny legislation which tliey do not consider for tne general good. your consideration is directed to two outstanding financial obligations of the state board of agriculture. On the cost of the grounds and buildings of the state fair is yet an indebtedness of $65,000. To float the second mortgage of the members of the state board of agriculture assumed a personal liability for payment, and it Is now asked by tbe board that an appropriation of $20,000 be made by the state to re deem these bonds, and that provision bo marie for paying the interest on the debt. There is also a debt of $8,000 in unpaid premiums and prizes, authorized, it is said, by tbe legislature, and for which the board disclaims responsibility.

WJUBIMl KOAJJ3. The trreat need in manv sections of Ohio good country roads. This is a subject of Importance not only to agriculturists, but affects every material interest in tbe state, and is receiving very general attention throughout other states in the Union. I invite the attention of the legislature to it with the oWect that somn plan be devised, which, with the concurrence of me people, will lead to the improvement of our public highways, so that they will be serviAa-ble in winter as well as summer. Many of our country roads aro almost Impassable during several months of the year.

They should be good the year round for the safety and convenience of travel and transportation. The consideration of this subject by the legislature would lead to discussion among tlv farmers of the state, which would furnish valuable suggestions to the legislature. PROTECTION TO RAILROAD EMPLOYES. Your attention is called to the imnortance of making every provision possible for the better protection of railroad employes-within the state. Their service is of the most hazardous charac ter, and railroads should be required to equip their lines with every improvement calculated to prevent accident.

There are nearly 80,000 persons employed by the railroads within the limits of Ohio, who serve the public with great danger to life and health, and nothing should be withheld from them which legislation can do to throw around them every possible safeguard. ne lasi report oi tne inter-state commerce commission, up to June 30, 1891, shows that in that year 2,451 railroad employes were killed, and 22,391 others were Injured. It is believed that a large percentage of this fearful sacrifice of life and limb can be prevented by the enforcement of proper legislation. THB CANALS. What shall be done witb the canals? Shall they be abandoned, or shall they, be maintained and improved? Every year the question be comes more pressing.

Each annual controversy over appropriations develops a stronger opposition than the preceding one. Both the friends and opponents of the canals agree that the policy which has prevailed for some years past can not continue much longer. The canals have been preyed upon and allowed to go to ruin, and now every succeeding legislature refuses to appropriate enough money to nut them in nrrawr condition. The question does not involve appropriatioss alone, but the modernization of public waterways. Not only experts, but the public at lare have arrived at.

the conclusion that if the canals are to be continued, there must be some well-matured plan for their improvement in the Interest of cheap and better tmnsnortation. Throughout the whole country there is at this time unusual attention being paid to the general subject of waterways. An increased activity in the building and improvement of canals is noticeable in some of the most progressive nations of the world particularly where commercial competition is the keenest. Of this, France and Germany afford conspicuous examples. In Em-gland there are several vast shiD canal schemes under way and in projection.

This revival of interest in canais is true also as to a number of our sister states. Some Ktates that have abandoned their canals now regret that action, and several are endeavoring to recover the franchise wnicn nau Deen disposed or to private individuals or to cornorations. Canada is now seektner. by enlarging and extending her canals, to secure a large portion of the grain-carrying trade of this vuuuxieuu In this connection attention is called to a de monstration in Ohio of the value of improvement of water-ways, viz: The Muskingum river, navigation on whicb will be resumed in the coming spring. It should ever be kept in mind that the canal system of Ohio represents franchises and rights of way and privileges of enormous value.

The aggregate length of the canals of Ohio is 697 miles. The original cost of construction was There are also 29,600 acres of res ervoirs which feed the canals all public property. The canal system of Ohio is a rich heritac-e to the state which has been largely squandered. It is time to call a halt to the policy of disposing of the people's property without adequate cona- peuaauuu. It is for the people to say what they will do mm Lucii uwu, uub tney snuuiu nave run information before they forever disnossess them selves of two such valuable franchises as those appertaining to the Miami and Erie canal and wie vnio canai.

nis is a matter of ppiipt it- teurm-0 xne state, and is no); limited to tha Tv urii(Ii V- nanala raao feefore the people or the legislature can set upon this important question with intelligence) and with a due regard to interests of the state, it is manifest that they should be in possession of more information than is now at hand. It is therefore recommended that, in addition to making the usual appropriations for tbe canals, the legislature create a body, with engineering, legal and business qualifications, to make a complete report as to the canals of Ohio giving their origin, the rights of the state as to title, their cost, their earnings in the past and present, their value as franchises for rail-" road or other purposes, as nearly as can be ear timated, and particularly to' the possibility and advisability of improving them and increasing their usefulness to the people. Already there is in existence a body, which, it is suggested, could with propriety be intrusted with this important wonc tbe canal commission. THB NEW BALLOT LAW. The new ballot law, from my observation and information, meets with very general favor in Its scope and purpose, although imperfect la some of its features.

It is a step in the right direction and should not be touched except where it can be improved. It can, no doubt, bs made to better serve its purpose by amend, ments which experience has already suggested. At the recent state ejection thousands of electors voted for the candidates for governor of their respective parties who wera at the head of the tickets, believing that iucy werw vuimg me entire party ucicet. This occurred as to all the party tickets. Tha true intent of the elector was therefore not registered by the judges, for tbey were required to count such ballots only for the candidato before whose name a cross was placed.

Would it not be advisable to provide that thera should be but one method of marking the ballot namely, by req uiring the elector to place a cross-mark in front of the name of every candidate for whom he desires to voter The duties of county and city boards of eleo uons snoum oe more clearly denned. A "deadlock" as to signing the returns, and another as to issuing a certificate of election in one of the senatorial districts, and the lack of remedy in trie courts to solve the difficulty, show that in other particulars there Is imperative demand for amendments to the law. The case referred to suggests the following: When such a difficulty as that presented to the Muskingum county board arises, and the county board refuses to send in a legal return, tha count should nevertheless be made of tha returns from the counties regularly made, and a certificate issued to the person thus appearing to be elected, so that the foundation oan be laid for a contest, and the district not deprived of representation, because the law and the courts are ineffectual to give relief. CONGRESSIONAL KED1STRICTING. You will be required under the new census to.

reuisimi mo Butte lur representatives in congress. This will afford you an opportunity to, arrange the districts with fairness to alb Makp tho districts so fair in their relation to the political divisions of our people that they will stand until a new census shall be taken. Mai them so impartial that no future legislature will oare oisturo mem until a new oensus ana a new congressional apportionment will make achans-a imperative. Extreme partisanship In their ar rangement snouio oe avoiaeu. -mere is a sense of fair play among the people which is prompt to condemn a flagrant misuse of part? advantage at the expense of popular suffrage.

Partisanship is not to be discouraged, but encouraged In ail things where principle is at stake; but a partisanship which would take from the people their Just representation, as in the case of the congressional redistricting by the last legislature, is an abuse of power which the people are swift to rebuke. You must have observed from tha returns of the late eieption that the party which carried the state by a plurality of more than twenty-one thousand and whioh received a plurality in fifty-one counties of the eighty-eight in Ohio, carried but seven congressional districts of the twenty-one the minority party thus controlling two-thirds of the congressional districts, and the majority party only one-third. It will be your duty to re-enfranchise the citizens of Ohio who were disfranchised by the last leg islative "gerrymander," and to restore to tha people their rightful voice in the national house at representatives. Free suffrage is of little service to the citizen if its force oan be defeated by legislative machinations in the form of a "gerrymander." The districts should be made so as to give the party majority in the state a majority of representatives, and so arranged that if the party majority shall change the rep-presentative majority shall also change. BrSPONStBITJTT OF THB MAJORITY.

The elections of last November have given to one of the political parties of fhe state an almost unprecedented majority in both branches of the legislature. So large a majority will require from every member of the dominant party the exercise of the greatest conservatism. I need not remind you that exceptional responsibility follows the great trust which has been reposed in you by the people, who in turn will bold you to the highest sad strictest accountability.
