NEXT Tuesday-August 1Sth-the
people of Ohio are called upon to de-
eide the character of their funda-
mental law for the coming years. 1t
is an important duty. and should be
approached in the pure spirit of pat
riotlsm-in spirit of devotion to the
Commonwealth. In voting for the
Convention the people of Ohio pro-
nounced the present Constitution i'm
perfect, and signified their desire for
new one. The Convention, COM
posed of some of the ablest minds in
the State, without political bias or
prejudice, have given us one. Now,
it is for the people to decide whether
it or the old one shall be the basis of
State action. The old is admitted to
be defective; the new one may have
its objections; and the question to be
decided is which is the best? We
believe the new one to be the best,
and thus believing must vote for it.
We must vote according to our con
yictions, and that is what every man
should do. Be sure you are right in
your understanding of duty, and
then faithfully and fearlessly per-
form it.

WE commend the opinion of Judge
Matthews, OH local option, to the CALI
polls Journal, which very confidently as
serted, some weeks since, that such 4
policy was not possible under the so
called license clause of the new COnsti-
tuition. According to Judge Matthews,
who is one of the best lawyers in Ohio,
the powers of the Legislature, under
that clause, will be administrations
roy Telegraph.
If the Legislature will have Sun
limited" power under the license
clause, then its submission is d
fraud. If the Constitution was 81
lent upon the subject, the power OF
the Legislature would, of course, be
unlimited. Then, what sense is there
IN submitting the license clause to a
vote of the people if by its adoption
unlimited power is still reserved to
the Legislature? In this view the
whole thing of submission is non
sense. 1t would make of the Con
vention a body of fools. No, the
submission of license means some
thing. 1t means limitation of the
powers of the General Assembly. 1t
offers to the people an opportunity to
determine the policy Of the State
upon this question of the sale of in
toxicating liquors, and the questions
submitted were put into their pres
ent form and shape for that simple
purpose, and no other. The first
proposition means license-a lawful
selling-and those who vote for it do
so with that understanding. If it
carries, it will be expected that IL
cense will be the policy of the State.
That is the significance of a vote for
license-liquor sanctioned and sane
titled by law-and all the special
pleading of the license men cannot
change its meaning.
Since writing the foregoing we
have read speech delivered by Hon.
w. c. ROWLAND, a member of the
Convention, who touches upon this
very point. We copy what he says:
If the Convention had intended to
give the Legislature complete control of
this, or any other question, the proper
course would have been f'silence."
Therefore, when the policy of silence,
or leaving blank OH the liquor ques-
ton was abandoned by the Convention,
whatever was said upon the subject
could have no other effect than that of
limiting the power of the Legislature,
as in the absence of such Limitation their
power was absolute. The license men
would not consent to leaving the Legis-
lature thus free, and the result is that
the insertion of either of the alterna-
tiVes upon this question will limit the
power of the General Assembly. Can
it be supposed that having refused to
leave blank, and thus remand the en-
tire control of the question to the Gen
eral Assembly, the convention would
submit alternatives, either of which
will be the same as a blanki They did
not intend such result, and have there
fore made the form of a ballot indica-
tive OF the two issues 'tfor license" and
against license"

editor of the Bulletin was seriously

went to the Mayor to intercede for a
proclamation to abate it. The drunk
Ell brawls and fights, obscenity and
swearing, which had often occurred
in the same places, brought no such
disturbance to his rest, or call for in
reference from the Mayor. Don't
you think his organization is a pc
culiar one? We do-very unlike that
of men in general. Indeed, he is a
type of the animal kingdom which
has never yet been classified. Oar

Born of the now whisky organs
started out supporters of the temper
ance movement. The JOURNAL did
the same. The two have gone back
on their first well chosen path. The
JOURNAL refused the protfered pur-
chase-followed the true line of duty,
and maintained its consistency.
Thereby it has become a standing
reprimand to the others for their sud
den and unexplained change of seati-
ment, and this it is that has drawn
down upon the conductors of the
JOURNAL the personal assaults of
these weathercocks. Well, we have
passed through many a fight with sin
and corruption, and we are too old a
campaigner to be intimidated, or
driven from our course, by this light

"Bab's" Tricks-Presto Change
Family Interests Dominant.
The editor of the Bulletin would
wish to have the world understand
that purity and consistency dweli
alone in his earthen vessel. He Is
continually throwing stones at Others
while seemingly remembering not
that his own house is glass, and only
glass. His only motive for action is
"family' interests, and so overpower-
ing is this ambition, that he is care
less of the means employed to accom-
plish it, and apparently unmindful of
the inconsistencies to which he is
driven. The temperance question is
an example. In its inception he
sought to become its leader, even go
ing SO far as to personally solicit the
position of ''organ" from the League.
Through the Secretary he was furn-
ished with the proceedings, and for
awhile performed his duty satisfac-
torily. Here is a specimen of the
style in which it was done. tits cop
led from the Bulletin of January q,
1874. Read it:
The Bulletin of last week contain
ed report of the doings of the Wo-
mans Temperance League up to the
morning Of Tuesday, the 18th. In
the afternoon of each day of last
week, the ladies went forth on their
great mission Of reform, and visited
different drinking saloons and other
establishments, where liquors are
sold, in various parts of the city.
The calm, dignifed and determined
bearing of their movements have in
spired all lookers-on with feelings of
respect for the aoOmen, if not with
wishes for the success Of their under
taking.
This was worthily said. He had
made a good beginning, and the
friends of sobriety and good order
were encouraged to go forward in
their great mission of reform" But
suddenly his zeal slackened--a new
light broke in upon him-family in
tercsts led in an opposite direction
the mercenary spirit triumphed, and
he fell. Now, nothing too bitter
could be said about the movement"
What before was a ''great mission Of
reform" had suddenly become ''fanati
CAL" 'disseminators of Free Love
doctrines" "hypocritical," ''insane
crusade" persecution" "spies and
sneaks,'' "intemperate agitation"
"foul and dirty trade" !" ''slimy, nasty
look" and much more of the same
vile and disgraceful stuff. But we
need not enlarge these quotations.;
his words oil bitterness anu hatred
are too well remembered to require
repetition; they stand recorded as a
disgrace to journalism and decency.
1t was a wonderful transformation,
accomplished in few short weeks
Uncle John Robinson ought to en-
gage the trickster for his circus.
We are sure he would draw well.
He would astonish and confound
the world by his startling feats of
presto-here l am, and now l amt
here. He can get a certificate from
our best citizens that he is well
trained for ground and lofty tumbling.
By all means, let Robinson engage
him.
How apt the quotation, "yOu pays
your money!" &c.

The other is the vote upon license,

it is difficult for me TO make up my

be less demoralizing than no license.
We have tried that for twenty years,
and the sale of liquors to be drank

before. No one will inform and
hence the result has been an almost
complete free trade in intoxicating
liquors and doggeries have multiplied
like mushrooms. Houses licensed
