The topics discussed were those Of

But on the other hand, il any one Of

majority. =.
For exsmple. Il "icr iiceue" should
receive maiority Of the votes cast, but
''fcrtae Constitution" shouid have less
than 9 majority, then "fpr license" fails
and will be Of no forco. There 10 90 pro
vision that any Of these separate propo
sitious may become part Of the present
Constitution, no matter BY ~hat maj 1rity
they may t'e approved.
The provisions In regard to the sec.
ond. third aad fourth votes are similar.--
We will take that iu regard to license IS
an example. tits provided as follows:
"If either Of those alternative propo.
sitions, For License or Against Ii.
ccnse,' be adopted,it shall become section
eleven Of article sixteen Of this Constitu:
ton"
Itis not provided thst Il adopted Il
shall become part Of the Con- nssitution OF
the State Of Ohio. Such a provision
would carry 1t into the old Constitutions
the new should fail. But IL adopted it Is
to become q part "of this Constitution 7
Now II "this Constitution" fail. H. wilLbc,
ard remain utterly null and void. and Of
sodrse every part OF 1t, Including the
license clause. will remain null and void.
|, Aman may therefore consistently vote
for the Constitution and against any or
oil Of the separate propositicns; but the
man who votes dqainst tho Constitution
and for license, for instance, simply does
al n his pover to nsllify he ovn cots,
The point We would enforce Is this !:
We can have the New Constitution With
out Railroad Aid, but we cannot have
Railroad Aid without the New Constitu.
ton: We can have the New Constitution
without Minority Representation, but we
caanet hsve Minority Representation
withou. the New Constitution: We can
have the New Constitution without Ii.
cense, but We cannot have License With.
out the New Constitution.
Knowing these things, there are men
working against the New Constitutions as
the most efIectual way Of killing Railroad
Aid there are others working against it
to kill Minority Representation; and it is
not at all improbable that some are work
ing against TO kill License.
|. While no one denies their right to do
this, II is % we'll that those who favor any
Of these propositions should be fully ad.
vissd that they are defeating their own
wishes BY opposing the New Constitu-
lion.

Ed. SPrRrr: When person throws a
stone in the dark he knows not where 1t
may light This reminds me that on a
certain time your humble servant threw
one and it seems as though it lit In Linn
County, Missouri, without the thrower
thereof intending that it should fall in
any particular locality. But be that a.
it may, take what your correspondent
from that locality says about me in all
Christian kindness, knowing that he Is
one of the most genial friends ever
had, and good "Israelile in whom there
is no guile" take it for granted tha: he
has not forgot old friends, although for
a long time separated from them.
If have said in any former cores
pondence any thing that might make the
same party feel "out Of so-ts," it was
not designed to be so.
And you can say to him through the
medium of your paper, that We did not
only have muck muck on the Pacific
slope, but that we still have a small
amount in the Dark Hills of Nom oe,
which Is always freely given to our
friends. when they call to see US, from
any place.
So Mr.. IN" from "Linn County," 60
home, shake hands with your better half
for me, and say nothing about what has
been said, and understand that have as
good a cellar as there is in Monroe
County. which keeps things cooi.
Mr. Editor, don't you think that your
contemporary could find something that
would be as satisfactory to their patrons
to Gil their paper with as q rehash from
week to week of the awful sinfulness and
corruption of that same Court House
Ring. Jimmy Armstrong Wits bis pole.
DC. 1t does seem that your friends have
harp not of thousand strings, but
only one, which they play on, and am
really afraid that they will wear that one
out before thev get another.
With all due Difference to our friends
and their better judgment than ours, we
think they could better subserve the in
terests of the public by making things
hot for everybody that was not right, and
standing up for the right at all times and
under all circumstances. On this sub.
ject more anon.
