THE National Legislature is now
flooded with petitions and memorials
of every imaginable shape, asking for
Federal interference with the subject
of alcoholic traffic. We do not in the
least question the honesty and sinceri-
ty of these friends of temperance; but
we quite believe that their zeal alto
gether outruns their discretion. In this
matter of prohibition it has again and
again been demonstrated that excessive
stringency defeats its own ends. By
far too much reliance is placed ON leg
islation to prevent or cure intemper.
ance, and by far too little on moral in
f1nences. Begin with the cradle in the
family, the school, the pulpit; and let
the parent, the teacher, the pastor, inn
press upon those whose training is COM
mitted to his charge the prime truth
that the appetites and passions were
given US, not to eradicate and destroy,
but to control and bring under the in
fuence of right reason, and that the use
of intoxicating drinks, in health, as a
beverage, is never necessary, and al
ways dangerous-and you do more fol
temperance that all the statutory pro-
visions and penal anactments that were
ever passed.

CAPPIWA LOCALS.

ARMsTRoNG's MILLS, Jan. II, IA.
On Tuesday, January 9th, it rained
more, and flooded 'Capteen' more than
1T has before since the June Flood
SIX or eight years ago. That night it
undermined the western abutment of
the iron bridge at Armstrong; Mills,
beginning on the north side about twen-
ty feet from the bridge. The next
morning near O'Clock, just as several
persons had gone off the bridge, they
noticed the upper side giving way,
and soon it burst, 20 or % feet falling
into the stream; and then the upper
corner of the bridge sunk, loosening it
all, when with loud crash it tumbled
into the roaring stream, and was wash
ed down rs yards before it stopped,
both arches being broken, and one
abutment nearly torn down. How
fortunate no one was upon it, for the
most expert swimmer would have
stood little chance of saving his life,
and no person could possibly have got
ten off it from the time it commenced
tOttering till it was down.
No damage done the dam or about
it, except the washing away of a part
of the wing abutment on the west side.
The headgates at the mill were in a
dangerous condition, and it was only
by continued labor that they were kept
from washing out, which would most
likely have thrown down forebay, mills
and all. VIDI.

Constitutional Convention.

b JAN. Slight petitions were presen-
ted, three of them asking for the re-
c9gnition of the Deity in the Constitu-
ton.
Most of the day was taken up i'm de-
bate on the Judicial Article.
. An effort was made, without success,
to have the vote reconsidered refusing
to provide separate Common Pleas
Judge for Stark county. aL
The Committee of the Whole report
ed an amendment 10 Section s, making
Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties sep
arate districts, with four and three
Common Pleas Judges respectively,
was adopted, together with the amend
ments to the same section, giving
Montgomery and Lucas counties two
Judges each.
/ Amendments to following sections
were then acted on in their order, and
general debate being closed, the Con-
vention proceeded to consider the arti-
Gle section by section.
The first section provides that "the
judicial power of the State shall be
vested in Supreme Court, Circuit
Court, Court of Common Pleas, Courts
of Probate, Justices of the Peace, and
such other courts inferor to the Circuit
Court in one or more counties, as the
General Assembly may, from time to
time establish"
Mr.. Root moved to strike out the
words Circuit Courts which was lost;

some time that Mr.. Welsh, the Repub-
lican candidate for Treasurer, had not,
in Democratic opinion, been elected,
and Mr.. Weimer, the defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for that Office, came
specially to Columbus to stir the matter
up.
When Mr.. Poe's resolution Was offer
ed in the House the Republican men,
bers made some show of opposition to
it as measure which was at once out
of of order, useless, and ill-iimed. This
opposition convinced The Democratic
mind that there was really "a cat in
the meal tub" aud they voted solidiy
together for the appointment of the
jcomEaittee.
1t was appointed accordingly, but the
members OF il S,D0n found that they had
undertaken tremendous Job, cSpeci-
ally as the committee WIS ordered to
report on Friday. To count up the
votes of all the cstndidat.s for State Of
fees by c .untie5 would be weeks
hard work for an ordinary cpmmittee.
The time to report Was extended to
Saturday (tp-,iay), but even with this
extension the hearts of the committee
grew faint be.oFe th,. Tremendous col

examination in the office of the Secre-
tary of State, and instead oi diligently
examining and counting by counties,
as the resolution required them to do,
they contented themselves with report
ing to the House this morning that
there were scattering" votes mot at
all enough to change the result, which
they thought ought to be counted for
Mr.. WeimerI "Parturiunt montes"-
everybody knows the quotation.
After making this report poor Mr..
Poe looked relieved, as though he had
an ugly business off his hands, but
was his surprise and horror when the
heartless Republicans asserted with one
accord that the committee had not COM
piled with the requirements of the res
olution, and insisted that the subject
should be referred back to them, so
that they might diligently examine
and foot up the returns" And for two
mortal hours the badgered Democrats
were compelled to sweat and labor be-
fore they could get the report laid on
the table. 1t was as pretty little
specimen of retaliatory fun for partisan
haste and folly as 1 have seen for a
good while.

Owing to the rain and condition of
the National Road, the Wheeling omi-
nibus was again abandoned on Monday
and the mail came into Cambridge on
horseback about midnight.
Wool now sells readily in Cambridge
at fifty cents. Those who have held
their crops may consider themselves
quite lucky, as the bulk of the wool
produced in this section last year sold a.
42(aj hoe. The amount of wool shippeu
from this point during the past season
was nearly double that of the precee.i l.
ing year, and considerable increase
is expected next season.
Rev. ". II. Mcfarland entered upon
his fifteenth year as pastor of the Uniteti
Presbyterian Church in this place on

has received 450 adult members and
baptized 234 infants. The Sunday
school has increased from seventy-three
to about 200 members. The congrega-
ton will improve and finish their
church property this year.

Record of Retroactive Salary Bills.

Record of Retroactive Salary Bills.
In compliance with the Senate reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Davis, of West
Virginia, calling for certain informa-
tion concerning the salaries of Senators,
the Secretary of the Senate has prepar-
ed a statement from the records of his
office, which was laid before the Senate
by the President pro tempore.-
1t exhibits the various rates of compen-
sation for Senators and Representative
fixed at various times, and shows that
the following acts, increasing rates of
compensation, wereretroactive, namely:
The act of September 22d, 1889, was
retroactive for SIX months and eighteen
days.. The act of March 10Th, 1886, was
retroactive forsixdays. Theac ofMar' b
18th, 1916, was retroactive for one year
and fifteen days. The act of January
I'D, 11lS, was retroactive for fifty-three
days. The act of August 10th, 1856, was
retroactive for one year, five monts, and
twelve days; also, act of July 2Sth, was
retroactive, extending back one year,
four months, and twenty-four days.
The act of March Sd, 1873, was retroac-
tive ior two years. The total average
compensation and allowances for SEN
atorS for mileage, travelling expenses.
and stationery under the act of July
%, 1866, from March 4, 1871, to March
3, 1872, was $5,625. Under the same
act from Mrach 4, 1872, to March 8. 1873,
during which year Senators received
mileage for attending a special session
of the Senate, the average total COM
pensatiOn and allowance of Senators
under the act of March 3, 1873, is esti-
mated at $1,000. The estimate for
tniveliDg expenses included the above
aveaage is based upon the certificates
of 46 Senators, % having presented
none. There is no record in the Office
of the Secretary of the Treasury any
money to which he was entitled by the
retroactive provisions of either of the
acts of Sept. 1889, March 10, 1916, Jan.
y, 1878, Aug. 16, 1856, or July 2S, 1866.
