MERRITT RESOLUTION
ITS HISTORY BY THE SALINE
COUNTY REGISTER.
A RATHER LARGE FUSS ABOUT
A VERY SMALL NATTER.

The following history of the Merritt
Resolution, we copy from the Saline
county Register, the editor of which, Mr..
Pickett, has long advocated "a plank Of
similar import, and went % the late dem
ocratic state convention with such plank
in his pocket;
The history of the merritt resolution
is about Ms follows Going to the last
stste convention, the delegates from the
18th congressional district talked up the
matter of a free trade and direct taxation
resolution, and when they appointed u
member for the committee on resolutions
the writer hereof wrote out one and it was
taken TO the committee. When the tenn
porary organization Of the convention was
effected. however Mr.. Merritt endeavor-
ed to offer resolution of similar import
1t was not received, but in consideration of
his occupying leading position in the
party. our delegates decided TO let him lead
the fight if the committee on resolutions
ignored the subject In their report. They
did ignore it, Mr. Merritt offered his re-
solution, it was amended on motion Of Mr..
Oberly of Alexander county, and finally
adopted. The writer Of this article endae-
vored to induce Mr.. Merritt to accept an
amendment favoring the amending of the
constitution of the United States so that
direct taxes shall be apportioned accord
ing to wealth instead Of according to po-
pulation as now, without which taxation
with view to relieving the people Of the
west from paying more than their due
proportion Of national taxes would be q
farce but he refused and the resolution
was adopted by vote Of u large majority
of the convention.
The resolution was very bungling af-
fur, as passed, anyhow, and was adopted
in the shape it was by the convention, only
because 1t. discussion had consumed a
great length Of time, and the delegates
thought the people would be wise enough
20 see that the democratic party had not
declared in favor Of direct taxes. TO DO np-
! portioncd among the states according to
population.

THE TEMPERANCE L.IB,

The act Of the legislature of this state
to provide against the evils resulting from
the sale of intoxicating liquors, having
received the signature Of Gov. Palmer, is
Tow law, TO which all within its reach
must render due obedience. Its removed
beyond the sphere Of legislation and Il
placed upon its trial before the people and
the courts. As one Of the jury, who by
right and prescription is called on to
pass upon this new addition to the BODY
ofour laws We propose to examine its pro-
visions. We approach the subject, AS
every juryman should meet questions sub.
mtted 10 his arbtrament, without prepo-
session Tor or against it, In making this
acknowledgment, it will not be amiss to
qualiiy 1t to II certain extent by saying.
That while We are opposed TO laws in their
nature or effects prohbitory we ueyar.
theless favor some enactment which will
control the sale Of intoxicating LIQUORS as
at present allowed.
But while we desire such restrain, wa
will never yield our sanction to the theory
that the state is the guardian Of public or
private morals, or has any right to take
eogh'zshce OF either farther than bv ,be

monarchy, can control mans stomach

not before-certainly not until huma,

were the expresses, queens and prncesses
of Europe TO take exception to the
marital improprieties of their husbands.
The domestic troubles cf the Princes Tcck
will be greatly regretted in England,
where she has Away been personally popu-
lar. As the Princess Mary Of Cambridge
she remained single for a long period, her
failure TO secure an eligible husband being
generally imputed to the fact that though
she was undoubtedly good and sensible,
there was rather too much Of bcr-her
weight being something appalling. The
German princeing who finally married
her has never been liked by the English
people, and will now be more unpopular
than ever.
