The New Constitutions Supple
Emenf

Although we published the New
Constitution in full in our paper of
the 25th of June, together with the
Address to the People by the Com
mittee of the Convention, &C., we find
that many of our readers have neg
lected to read them, and no doubt
many have lost or mislaid the paper
containing them. Desiring that
every voter should have an opportu-
nifty to become acquainted with the
provisions of the Constitution before
voting upon it next Tuesday, we this
week furnish our readers a supple
ment, containing both the Consti-
tuition and the Address above refer
red to. A careful perusal of the Ad-
dress alone will give very good idea
of the changes made in the old Con-
stitution, and the improvements en-
bodied in the new one; but if the
voter wishes to be fully and accurate
ly informed, we recommend him to
read carefully both the Address and
the Constitution. Whoever does so,
we think, cannot avoid the conclusion,
that the new Constitution is, on the
whole, very great Improvement up
on the present one, especially in its
Judiciary system. We hope every
voter will go to the polls next Tues
day, and vote for its adoption.

EXOrbitant Fees OF Probate
Judges.

Judge West, member of the Con-
stitutional Convention, said in a
speech at Urbana the other day, in
favor of the New Constitution:
ave aimed at economy, and think
we secured it in the following in
stance. Throughout the State, coun-
ty officers are paid by fees. When
ever a man dies-and all must die,
tribute must be paid to legal CEN
sor. His estate must go into the
courts and be settled in that way.
Complaints came to us from all parts
of the State of the grossest frauds and
corruption in this respect. Poor
widows, with estates of less than
$500, were literally robbed and plum
dered. I can give you an instance
where probate judge required a
widow with four little children to
pay him $40 in fees, when his charg-
es should have been but $3.50.
This is the tendency of things The
power of oppression and corruption
existed, and we desired to cut it up
by its roots. If a State desires a
dead mans estate settled by law, why
shall it not provide court for settle
ment, as well as for the settlement
of horse traders quarrels? To do
this we provided that all judicial Of
ficers shall be paid by salary in order
to remove temptation; that legitimate
fees be paid into the county treasury
and salaries be paid out of it.
"In Cincinnati the probate Judge
realizes more than $4,000 year
from his position, which is more than
all that is paid to the judges of your
supreme bench. A probate Judge is
entitled to compensation for all the
labor he and q clerk perform. Let
his fees go into the treasury and
economy will result. But if there
were no public economy secured in
such way, it would protect the es-
tates of dead men from plunder."

Would License Authorize the
: Sale OF Liquor?

Those in favor of License say that
a License law would not authorize
the sale ofintoxicants, any more than
it is now authorized; that it would
merely recognize an existing thing,
and regulate it, without giving any
more right for the thing regulated to
exist.
A staid. moral old farmer had sew
eral sons. Without his permission
they got to fishing on Sunday, in a
creek which ran through the farm.
The old man tried scolding and whip
ping without avail. The boys would
fish. Finally as last resort, he
called the boys together one Satur-
day and said:
"Boys, you know it is wrong tc
fish on Sunday, and you know
don't allow it. But you 'ciH fish, il
seems, in spite of all lean do. Since
I can't stop you I'll regulate you
Each of you that will chop a quarter
of cord of stove-wood, (besides his
usual work) on Saturday afternoon
can fish on Sunday in the forenoon
But you shan't fish Sunday afternoon
and. you shan't fish unless you chol
the wood"
Query' Did or did not the ole
man, by his license law, authorize tn
boys to fish on Sunday?

Cincinnati Exposition.

The 5th Annual Exposition of Man
ufactures and Fine Arts will open to
visitors on Wednesday, Sept I'd, and
close on Saturday, Oct. Sd. The
buildings have been enlarged and
improved, and the exhibition OF
Paintings and Statuary will be the
finest yet made. The other depart
ments will no doubt be fully as at
tractive as in former years, as the
number of exhibitors already entered
is sufficient to occupy nearly all the
available space.
The Floral Department has been
enlarged, and though beautiful last
year, it is expected this year to fan
surpass any previous display.
The Railroads will run trains al
reduced fare, as usual, and it is an
ticipated that the attendance of Wis
itors will be larger than in any pre-
vious year.

To the Anti-License Voters Of
Highland County.

Now that the election is at hand,
at which is to be decided the ques-
ton whether the Legislature shall
have power to license the liquor traf-
fc in our State or not, we call upon
you, in the name of humanity, and in
behalf of the social and domestic
peace and happiness of ourselves and
of our neighbors, that you be early
and promptly at the polls on Tues
day, the 18th inst, and give your
votes, your time, your influence and
your support in every proper way, in
favor of the No License clause.
Remember, that, in spite of all the
plausible theories that the advocates
of License promulgate, experience
abundantly proves that wherever a
License policy has been tried, the
liquor traffic, with intemperance and
all its consequent evils, has largely
increased. Go forth, then, and cast
your votes and your influence against
the adoption of policy, which may,
and, as we think most likely will, re-
suit in legalizing the traffic, and in
establishing and protecting by au-
thority of law, ale and porter houses,
beer gardens, and whisky saloons,
and thus increase the terrible mis-
cries of intemperance in our State.

PERANCE ASSOCIATION of Hills

WHEREAs 1t has pleased Almighty God to call

Pearce. IT is therefore
-Resolred, That in his demise Emerald Lodge has
sustained severe loss, and the Order true Odd

Benjamin Pearce had attributes of mind and
magnanimity of soul which should characterize
every member of our Order. He was courteous in
manner and conscientious in the discharge of duty
His presence win be missed in the LOdge-room, but
his memory will be cherished by his brothers. As
brother esteemed him; gentleman we re-
spected him. While we deeply lament his loss, yet
we are cheered by the thought that he has gone to
meet many of his brothers in that higher and more
glorious Lodge, where death enters and part
ing is never known.
Resotrcd, That we tender to the parents and kin

The Fayette Herald puts the case
in this way:
A man who has advocated Tenn
perance principles, and by his exam
pie and precepts tried to inculcate
these principles in the minds of his
children and neighbors, tried to per-
suade boys and men not to use in
toxicating liquors as beverage, and
in every way discouraged the traffic
in them, would be acting very incon-
sistently by voting to license the
traffic, and thus voting to legal
ize a business that he has denounced
as a great moral wrong, and curse
to the world. Don't you think such
a vote as that would be inconsistent?
You do, and so do we"

As there is no possible chance of
electing a straightout Republican to
Congress in this district, we really
do not see what better thing could be
done by the Republican Convention
which meets here tomorrow (Wed-
nesday) than to decline making any
nomination, and pass a resolution in
favor of uniting all the opponents OF
Neal = Republicans, Changers and
Anti" SALARY Grab" Democrats-in
the support of some good, acceptable
INDEPENDENT candidate, to be nomina-
ted by a Convention to be held, say,
about Sept. LIST, END composed of del
egates chosen without distinction Of
party. If this be done, and good
man put in nomination, Mr.. Neal may
vet be made ''one-termer" by the
voice of the people.

Why not do it?

The following-named gentlemen
have been spoken of as candidates
for Congress before the Republican
Convention, which meets on Wednes-
day, 18th inst, in this place:
Ross county-Gen. S. H. Hurst,
Hon. NJ. L. Clark.
Brown county-Dr. Thos. W. Cor
don.
Pike county-Gen. W. S. Jones.
Highland county-Col. VIM. H.
Trimble, DR.. D. Noble.
All these gentlemen are good Re
publcans, and have the ability to
make creditable canvass and bring
out the full Republican vote, but the
misfortuneis that the full Republican
vote is not sufficient by at least 1900
or 1900, to elect any of them.

The Clermont Courier, speaking of
the recent stringent enforcement of
the liquor laws in that county, says:
"The people have arisen in their
might. As the hands of Moses were
upheld of old, the officers of the law
have been sustained. They have
done their duty, not with vindictive-
ness, but with fidelity, and an in
telligent understanding of what the
law demands. The truth IS that the
laso is sufficient for the soppr essio1a
Of liquor selling, If itis properly en-
forced. Our officers cannot choose
but do their duty if the cases are
brought before them. The matter
lies nth the people"
That's the whole secret in a nut
shell. It is not the Za'os that are
in fault, but public sentiment. Let
the people wake up, and say that the
liquor laws shall be enforced, and
they will be. Vote against License,
and keep the traffic under the ban of
the law.

Figures and Facts.

We are told that ajudicious license
law will decrease the number of grog
shops. Where are the facts to oprove
it? We assert, on the contrary, that
license as a measure to suppress in
temperance is a failure. Here is
some of the proof. Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont have pro-
hibition laws; Connecticut and
Rhode Island have license laws.
Last year, more than double the
number of liquor dealers took out q.
S, license, in proportion topopulation,
in the license States, that did in the
Prohibition States [Bellfontaine Re

A Good Argument for the New
COnsfitGtiOn-Read 1t. TEN
perance Men!

We favor the New Constitution
because it turns out of office the pres
ent Judges of the Court of Common
Pleas, and gives people an opportu-
nifty to elect set of new judges,
who will serve six years. Here is
just the place for temperance people
to strike. The judges, with rare ex-
ceptions, have made the enforcement
of the law miserable farce, and they
and the people who elected them,
should be ashamed of it. Let the
people see to it that men are elected
for Judges who have some regard for
their oath of Office, and the common
welfare of the community. By this
we mean that the Judges shall put
on the penalties of the law with a
severity that will compel obedience.
Those who are fined fifty dollars
laugh at it, and regard it as very
small license fee. Let Judges act
honestly and in good faith, and
grade the penalties SO as to enforce
obedience to law. Suppose the
man who keeps liquor nuisance was
certain that for his crime he would
be fined one hundred dollars and
sent to jail couple of months, and
under recent law could be put to
work on the public roadsa How
long, think you, would he continue
in the violation of law?
We &C for the New Constitution.
