Rather significant at this moment
is the discovery by q member of the
Ohio Legislature, He has found O
proposal amending TO the Cons;itu.
ton. by Mr.. Madison in 1898, which
was never ratified by II number OF
States sufficient to make it a law
But its bearing has a peculiar force
at this moment, and is as follows
ARTICLE Second-No law varying the
compensation for the services of the
Senators aud Representatives shall
take effect until All election of Rep.
resentatives shall have intcrvened."
When the amendment was offered
there we're only twelve States in the
Union, and, consequently, the ratifi-
cation of nine was sufficient to make
it o law. II ncver received but eight,
and it is proposed that enough more
States ratify it now, aud thus put a
stop to future salary grabs. 1t is an i'll
terestins question whether the action
of those eight States still holds good,
and if the amendment may still be
acted upon, since the Constitution
names no limit for the ratification Of
a proposed amendment.

THEN AND NOW.

few months ago Phoebe was looked
upon as the very embodiment of all that
was Infamous. The reason was plain
enough. Murderers thought they could
ply their vocation with IMMUNITY; that if
they put up = job and Killed man they
could get their "pals to swear them out
of it. But change has come over the
spirit of their dreams and they are now
brought to realization Of the
fact that no man can outrage
the law with impunity. Heretofore muir
derers have depended upon friends to
swear them out of any difficulty their ma
ture might lead them into; but the courts
have been found equal TO the emergency,
and cut-throats and outlaws find that
Phoebe is not as good a place as it was.
1t is a source of congratulation that muir
derers have been brought to realize their
position-to understand that Phoebe does
not furnish license TO perpetrate any
kind Of crime without molestation.
The convictions which have been had
within the past few weeks show that the
authorities are determined to maintain
the law.

NV YORK, Sept. |.
The Mayor of Portland. Or, in accept
ing aid from anonymous correspondents
for the sufferers by the recent FIRE, writes
to say that the stories of want and disas-
ter telegraphed were somewhat exsggera-
ted, and that the $4,000 contributed by
citizens will be sufficient to supply all
actual need. and that he declined to
draw ON the $4,000 collected in San
Francisco.
Ignacio Marsela, Mexican dip,naaatist,

Chas. W. Keith, banker of this city,

CHICAGO, Sept. l.
\ dispatch from Clinton, Mo-, says
that on Thursday night last skirmish
took place near Monogan Springs, St.
Clair county, between the Iowa sheriff
and the train robbers, who recently at
tackled train near Des Moines, in
which one Of the sheriff's posse and one
of the robbers were wounded. The sher-
if and his posse were in hot pursuit at
last accounts. -
The Tribune's special from Spring
field, Mass, says Butler is developing
more strength in some quarters than was
expected, and his chances OF carrying
the convention have improved within a
few days. Still no intelligent and i'm
partial canvass can yet be made that does
not leave him in a minority of at least
100. His friends did not do so well in
Boston as they expected, nor in New
buryport. Their success in Lynn
and Lowell was conceded. The re-
suit now chiefly depend upon But
ler's success in getting any consider
able portion Of the small towns of the
rival districts. He has been manipulate
ing them very industriously, though
secretly, through the House lobby and
the FedeIal office-holders, but there is
no reason yet TO believe that he can carry
enough of them to give him a majority.
The contest is growing very warm, and
there is much excitement throughout the
State. There will certainly be a bolt if
Butler carries the convention, and an
other Republican candidate. If he is
beaten his boiling is doubtful, but he is
evidently making ready TO do so if he
| does.
The Democratic Convention this week
is of no account. Their candidate would
not get 10000 votes out of l30,000 il
Butler runs.

Mus SHUT DowS.-We learn from the
Silver State that all the mills of the Ari-
IONA Association have been compelled to
shut down for want Of water. That paper
asserts that there is plenty of water in
Buenavista creek to supply the mills, but
complains that the ranchmen and gar
deners along its banks consume the water
in irrigating their crops, claiming prior
rights of appropriation. The question of
superior rights to the water is likely to
get into the courts. If the people Of
Unionville could have the benefit of some
Of the floods of water with which this
part of the State is being deluged, all
need of water for irrigation would be in
definitely postponed. The stopping Of
the mills has thrown large number Of
men out Of employment, who will be
compelled to hunt work in other parts OF
the State.

He appears to have been dealing through
various brokers to a very great extent,
principally in New York Central skies, of

outside man, and whether all these bonds

REMARKABLE CASE OF ABSTINENCE FROM
Foop.-There is young woman named Mary
Fancher, residing at the corner of Gates avenue
and Downing street, Brooklyn, who has, it is
asserted by her physician, DR.. S. F. Speir, ia
ken no food for eight years. She is twenty
five years of age, bright and intelligent. AS a
girl she was close applicant to her studies,
and was wont to abandon her meals to ponder
over her books until the strain upon her intel
lectual and physical strength overcamee her.
She also sustained injuries by being thrown
from horse. Subsequently she fell on a fai.
ton avenue car, and was dragged along the
street for distance of forty feet by her crlno-
line catching in the car. She was then aftllc'
s;uce & been confined to her bed. Her legs are
twisted twist and her hands are drawn up behind
s' ber head. She sleeps but little, and it is said
IN he endowed with clairvoyant faculties. She
works embroidery in cclors with great facility,
and and has made slippers and smoking caps With
initials worked in them. The doctor is posi-
tive TINT there is no deception in the case, and
has used every effort possible to detect any
sign of imposition, to no purpose. The case
has baffled the skill of hundreds of physicians
who have examined it.-N y Herald.

A Movement in the Right Direction.

AS preliminary to the attainment OF the
ultimate objects of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry, its members must achieve their
pecuniary independence Those whose crops
are mortgaged before they are made, and who
eat the merchants -four and bacon instead OF
their own, finally paying two prices for it
one for themselves and the other for those who
never pay at all-can never act freely or stand
up squarely for their rights as men should. The
merchant is not to blame for this state of things.
Doubtless he would prefer to buy for cash and
sell for cash, at cash prices. II, however, he
must give credit he cannot at the same time
sell for cash prices He must get the interest
on his money and enough more, in addition, to
secure himself against loss from had debts. He
sells to A, 3, G and d. Perhaps D will fail to
pay. The profits to be made On the goods sold
to A, B and G must be sufficient to throw the
balance, in the aggregate of these: transactions,
on the right side of the ledger. The trader,
very naturally, sells goods for tie purpose of
making money. The farmer makes his crops
for the same purpose. The latter should man
age his affairs as wisely as the former, to secure

only be industrious and manage his operations

retrenchment. The planters of the South, from
time immemorial the slaves of the credit sys-
tenn, are beginning to see this, Those who
were blind before have had their eyes opened
in the Grange, and now they propose to act in
the matter, and in sensible way. In this
work, the Mississippi State Grange leads off in
the following resolutions, passed at its late ses-
sion:
Resolred, By the State Grange of Mississippi,
That the Lecturer of each subordinate Grange
in this jurisdiction is hereby required to submit
to the Grange of which he is Lecturer, the fol-
lowing pledge of economy, to wit: Each men,
Der of this Grange is hereby pledged to the
strietest economy in the management of bis
farming and other business, until he places
them on cash basis.
Resolved, That the Lecturer of each subordi-
nate Grange is hereby required to keep con-
stantly before the members of his Grange, by
lectures and otherwise the great difference
between cash and credit prices, and the i'm
possibility of carrying out the objects of the
Order without the practice of the strictest
economy, until the farming interests are put
on cash basis.
There are now about $50 Oranges in Missis-
sippi and the Order is still increasing rapidly.
The resolutions of such body as the State
Grange, therefore, have weight.-Rrrdl Caro-

Two.FAcED MEN.-There are two-face men
to be found in all communities. They endeav-
or to play double game in the great drama of
life that they may be sure OF success. They
try to divide themselves so as to be able to lap
in on both sides of every question that is agl-
tated. They are afraid of their own shadow,
lest it should reflect and expose the corrupt
and craven spirit that is wrapped up in the
substance. Their whole life is one of base de-
ception, and their actions are shams and
counterfeits. They encourage what they know
to be wrong, and timidly sustain that which
they admit is right. They are apparently
frank and outspoken when the tide of public
opinion all runs in one channel, but as soon as
they discover that there is division of senti-
ment on subject they suddenly become mute,
or show signs of extraordinary iberality of
opinion towards both sides. Force them to an
expression Of opinion and you will extort from
them kind of compromises little in favor
of one side, and an excuse in favor of the
other. They act Us though their Tery existence
depend on making every body believe that
they agree with everybody. They become
reconciIed to what they formerly professed to
despise; or if not reconciled they are as quiet
as sucking doves, and as tame toward both sides
as house cats. They assign no reason for their
lamb-like conduct. They have none, except
want of principle. They are devoid of the
proper elements that constitute true manhood.
They are without mental force to sustain them
selves in the battle of lfe and dodge about
trying to please every body, until they become
hateful in the estimation of all. Such charac-
ters are as ephcmera as they are contemplate
in the eyes of men of principle. Such char
acters, when expedient for their interests, have
CAB for all parties, and principles for every
emergency but the people are too sharp to be
deceived in this manner, and those who think
they are swimming along smoothly and unno-
ticed in the political waters, will, before they
are aware of it, be drowned in their own cor
ruprion with no friends to save them. 1t is a
game of political ledgerdemain that cannot be
successfully played
Give us open candor. We can have some
respect for a rascal when he has independence
enough to show his true colors, and sufficient
courage to defend them; but the man who
wears two faces, whose soul is too small 20 fee!
that he has a right to enjoy his own will, and
who is too sycophantic to express his honest
convictions, deserves the reprobation Of all
honorable men.-Kiingstrec Star.
