Youngstown, O., Feb, 7,—James Bradley, of Hubbards, has been ex+ perimenting for two years on the menufacture of a good imitation of gold, and has practically succeeded. Mr, Bradley and Charles Bruns- wick, whois associated with Mr. Bradley, bave constructed a swall cupalo in an outbuilding, which they call the Klondike, near Bradley's home, where your correspondent found them busy with their experi- ments. Mr. Bradley Gold Baser has two pieces of metal, which he bas produced by combining three other metals ave subjecting them to a chemical process which so closely resembles gold that already several expert jewelers have pronounced them pure gold, and which have already stood an eigh- teen-karat-test, GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.

Bron- ston’s bills provide for two commis- one of three prisons ;oue of three charitable institutions, The election of two of these six, every time a session convenes, Will be a political and scramble second only to a torial election, and often joined with one, But in addition to the time thus consumed, will doubtless come dissatis ion on the part of some one or more with the manage- ment of the subordinate commission, which would result ia investigations and discussions more numerous than now, when the management is under authorities over whom the assembly has so much less power, Indeed, it is dilficult to see how commissions under absolute control of the legisla- ture can enforce the laws concerning the affairs of the prisons and c able institutions without an infringe- ment by the legislative department upon the executive department of the government. Another problem is connected with the Goebel election bill which pro- vides for a state election commission of three, which s have the powér to appoint county boards, turn shall appoint oticers, supervise elections, etc, The state election com- missioneries are also to be elected by the legislature and subordinated to authority, Some think that every election contest, or a close state elec- tion would result in charges, counter- charges, ete., that would call for more lengthy legislative investiga- tion, discussions and the like, But the most common objection to all these bills by their enemies here is that this legislature shows too great a tendency to put the whole govern- ment of the state in the aoa of the legislature, along with the manage- ment of all private property, not turned over to the mercies of a state raiyoad commission; indeed, that the state government hereafter is to bea government by commissions, & pension commission, a charity iusti- tutions commission, an election com- mission, @ school book commission, a desired bills not only aces upon the to ms r to man sioners | first week of th which to],, election |‘ AWAIIA Fisher Appointed Washington, Feb. 7.—Tbe Ha- waiian treaty is practically defeated, so the situation seems to be, Presis, dent Dole has left this city and is. on his way home.

Winchester, O., Feb. 7.—John Graham, an Oliver Township farmer, is the owner of the largest horse in this section of the state. The animal 's bands bigh,and weighs 2,300 pounds, His head is forty-four inches long. The horse is too large for any kind of work on the farm, and Mr Graham has been trying to dispose of him, Afew weeks ago a Cincin- nati buyer went to Graham's place and contracted for the big horee. It was delivered to the railroad, but when it came to loading the horse he was too large to pass through the door of a stock car. Mr. Graham was compelled to take the animal} back home.
