A Democratic Outrage.

1t occurred in the Legislature, an6
is thus related by the correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette:
Mr.. Stone, of Gallia, was on his
feet to say something. Mr.. Brunner
of Wyandot, lnterpolated a remark
Mr.. Stone replied, distinctly prefacing
with the parliamentary address, "Mr,
Speaker" The Speaker (Mr. Con
verse) pounded with his gavel and
said, 'The gentleman from Gallia
will address his remarks to the
Chair" Twice Mr.. Stone endeavored
to explain that he had addressed him
self to the Chair, and both times he
was most unceremoniously and dis
courteonsly interrupted by the Speak
er with voice and gavel, and com
PEELED to take his seat without being
permitted to explain. 1t was little
short of an outrage, and should have
been promptly met by the House,
whose bounden duty it is to afford
protection to its members in the full
lest and freest expression of their
sentiments. 1t was particularly un-
just in the case of Mr.. Stone, who
has always borne himself in the
House with becoming modesty and

Constitutional Amendments.
The Joint Committee of the two
Houses of the General Assembly, ap-
pointed to prepare amendments to
the Constitution, have made partial
report. They submit two PROPOSE
tions. The first is in regard to the
Judicial system. 1t provides for en-
larging the jurisdiction of the Pro
bate Courts so as to take in guardian
and dover suits; it continues the
Common Pleas Courts, creates sepa
rate Circuit Courts, and creates a
Commission to settle up the business
of the Supreme Court.
The other amendment proposes to
put special tax on dogs.
The judicial article is of doubtful
success, but it is believed the latter
will pass both Houses without serious
opposition.
How about the license system. 1t

"THE Ohio Legislature has quit
legislating, and gone to investiga-
ting" says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There are six of these inquests on
hand, some of them reaching the in
tegrity of the members. Charges of
bribery are frequent. Where there
is so much smoke there must be
some fire. And this is what comes
of democratic rule in Ohio. The
people are paying the members five
dollars per day, while the members,
in place of legislating for the people,
are investigating each other, to see
what each has received as a compen-
satiOn for his vote for certain meas
ures. Isn't it about time for the peo-
pie to investigate.

the red-clay hills of Springfield and

Miss Rattle C. Waters, of Proc
is visiting in onr place. IfI
there are many more such 'bonny
lasses" down that way, and the story |
gets out, we predict brisk emigra-
tion of manageable young men
down the river.
