THE OHIO LIQUOR LAW.

The Adair liquor law OF Ohio has been
amended so that before sellers, lessees or own
ers can be made responsible in damages for in
iuries consequent upon this sale or gift OF in
toxicans, notice shall have been given by the
persons liable to be injured, not to sell or give
liquor to the person liaele to commit the in
jury when intoxicated.
That's reasonable. If you give man
license to sell liquor, and take his
money for the privilege, you have no right
to say that if he does sell and the pur-
chaser gets drunk and smashes 500
pane of glass in window, that the liquor
seller should pay for it.
But if man is incapable Of self-control
and his wife or children notify liquor
seller not to sell him liquor. and he then
persists in selling to him. regardless o
the consequences, the boot is on the othe'
leg. No liquor dealer would want to sci
OF such man under such circumstances

The difference between Donnelly and Will

The old lady said, when some one quot

THE salaries of State officers, the Judiciary,
and the contingent funds Of the respective OH
Gals, foot up Sl02, 06658. A pretty TAR pay
roll for young State-Litchfeld Ne'0s-
Ledger (Rep) :,
In 1851 the total expenditures for the
support Of the State government execu-
tive, legislative, judicial, miscellaneous
printing, and everything else, were but
$1l8.249.88.
In fourteen years they have risen to
over $863,OOO; while the salaries OF the
State officers and judges and their contln'
gent funds are within S 900 ofIthe whole
cost of the State government in 1851.
The State needs heroic remedies. Had
we not better stop talking about Louis
lana and organize on the issue Of retrench-
ment and economy!
Ia this connection the Winona Herald
says:
The appropriations made by the late Legs
lature in this State amounting to over $685.
600 is perfectly astounding 1t is tax OF 81 oo
upon every man, woman and child IN Inc
State. The appropriation is over SON, OU
more than was made by the Wisconsin Legs
lature in State of more than twice the RoPu-
latiou of Minnesota. Our people are afflicted
with altogether too much legislation Their The;
are too many deficiency bills which are engl
neered each year through our Legislatures
The State has in its employ to many officers
too many clerks; too many bureaus; TOO man.
d. p1rtme, IS, too many contingent expenses
too many salaries; too many legislators an
too many investigations for which there SHOULD
be no necessity Unless those extravagant ap
preparations or wicked expen -itures OF tn
peoples money is stopped, bankruptcy an
ruin are near at hand and the people Will o
driven to inevitable impoverishment.

COMPILE
MENT.

The St. Paul DISPATCH, in its sketches
of the members of the last Legislature,
gives this description of Hon. William
Brown of Rochester:
This gentleman is well-made, ine-sized,
fine looking man, about middle-aged, neat IN
personal appearance a man OF thought and
method, Eard-working, industrious man
He is a blacksmith, working at the forge and
superintending number of workmen when at
home, and owns a farm near Rochester, and,
therefore, his sympashies are with the farmers,
mechanics and laborers, while he is man
who Is at hsme in any society-aud is at home
as member of the Legislature.
To his honor be it said. Mr.. Brown had
sense enough to fight with voice and VOTE
that abomination. the Morse Law. W.
hope to see him returned to the Legisla
ture next fall.

AN OUTRAGE

The editor of the Chicago Times, W.
F. Storey, was indicted for libel. ne
then proceeded to denounce the memoe's
Of the grand jury which had indicted MN,
Thereupon the Judge, one Williams nau
him brought into court, and sent 10 Jai.
for ten days for ''co'astr 'sc1'es co'"'"'p'
Of court"
This is something unheard OF IN our
American jurisprudence. 1t mas oeen
well understood that for any lnsolence tol
the court in its presence, or any reiusa
to obey it's legitimate mandates the OF
fender could be punished for contempt
But if newspaper criticism OF the mem
bers of grand jury constitutes such
contempt of court as to authorize the
Imprisonment Of the editor, where IS the
liberty of the press! If newspaper
cannot criticise the grand jury it cannot
criticiss the petit jury, or the judge or
the sheriff, or the justices OF the peace VI
the constables. Neither can II olscuss
adversely the decisions "
courts or it may bring them lneo
perhaps merited contempt. Ana II 'nis - pe
true of the Judicial Department OF the
government, the law.interpretlng branch
why is it not equally true OF the Leglsia-
ture, the law-making branch, or OF the
Executive, the law.executing branch!
The great poet said:
.sMan, vain man,
Dressed in little brief authority,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high neaveA'
As make the angels weep!
Pit a weak.minded man into the posi-
ton Of Judge, with every one crlnging &c
him. and the lawyers "be-honoring' him
and he begins to feel as if the issues o
life and death we're his, and to assume al
the airs of an oriental despot. 'Sir,
said one of this sort to Thaddeus Stevens
.sdoes the court understand you to ex
press contempt for it! NO." said oil
Thad. in voice of thunder, Il am try
ing to suppress contempt!
The objective point of modern encroach
ment seems to be the public press. Con
gress passed a law year ago by whlc'
an editor in St. Paul can be dragged O.
to Washing ton. to be tried before packe

TAXES.

Taxes, taxes. taxes, It'll you can't

up. through the columns Of the Enter
prise, this doleful plant:
..Out OF the depths have we cried unto" the
Assessor. s'By the river" of Hassen Valley,
there we sat down, yea we wept when we re-
membered the tax list. There they that
wasted us. required of us mirth, saying, sing
us one of the songs OF the Hassen. "How can
we sinc'' with the burden-this bondage OF
de- til. unjust taxaton-hanging on our
neck like ssmill stone" to s'drown us in the
midst of the waters" Many will be driven,
the present season, to bankruptcy through the
short sightedness Of our rulers. Let the peo-
pie rise in their political majesty and by their
ballots rebuke them
Set that to music. Asa. and sing it
through the State. and you will draw and
delight immense crowds.
Let us start a temperance society to
prevent an excessive indulgence in the
luxury of taxation. 1t is worse thar

WE'LL SAID.

Madame MacMahon refuses to dress in the
Paris fashions. "The example of strumpets,
saws she, s.is not more worthy OF imitation in
matters of dress than in moaals."
1t is we'll known that the fashions OF
the world are invented by the strumpets
of Paris. The demi.monde Of that licen'
tious city dictate the style of adornment
of respectable Christendom. and the very
churches of Minnesota family reflect the
abandoned Imagination of the dame da
pare.
Madame MacMahon is right, and de
serves thanks for her words and ex
