Dan Qnixote kohret, and his squire
Sancho Panza Gruelle> got badly: hurt
i'm their encounter with the windmill
which. they. took for ,,;tlie big giant, Of
Spiritaalism. Now they have. set ,,pa
man of straw iii the Office Of the Ring
organ and they call him Free Love-
Gruelle is mere puppet on q pin and
when Rohrer and Town go down to the
office and pull the string, Gruelle throws
his arms and legs about, in a wild and
maniacal manner, and strikes and kicks
the man of straw. This they call fight
ing "Ffee Love-" .'v: b i:
But there is one serious side to this
Free Love cutlery and but one serious
side. Last Summer J. x. Town, Sher-
if of Mobiles county, worked up what
he called d ''''Spiritualistic exposure.
Gruelle published itin the Ring org III,
and then aportion of the Ring organ
clique determined that they would mob
the ADVANCE Office and so end the AD-
VANCE in this community. They went
to Rev. J. q. Ogle to confer with him
as to the propriety Of destroying our
property. He no doubt advised against
it, and others must have done so, for
the scheme was ut least abandoned for
that time. -.
Here is the secret Of the spiritualistic
and ''Free Love" cutlery. This is the
milk III the cocoa-nut. The whole thing
had reference to the coming election
and was intended to destroy the AD-
VANCE.
These are facts. We say to our
friends that we know whereof we speak
and can satisfy any one of them that
this is true We do not publish it for
the purpose of influencing any vote,
but to expose the animus and the de-
sign Of this vile cutlery of the Infamous
Ring organ and its mobocrat hackers.
They have tried every form of SANDER
and defamation and even ate npted to
get up mob to destroy our office.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
There are six proposed constitution.
al amendments to be voted OH at the
coming election: -
l.. The first is to establish Biennial
sessions Of the legislature. This has
been attempted in other States and is a
failure. In Ohio it is regularly lodged
by: holding all adjourned session the
second winter. The business ct the
State requires anniial sessions.
2. The second grows out Of the first
and changes the term of representatives
to two years; and senators to four years.
This should be voted down like the
first. ;-,
8. The third transfers the duty of
canvassing the returns for certain
State officers from the legislature to
the Secretary of State, with tile assist
ance of two or more supreme court
judges and two disinterested judges Of
the district court. This also grows
out of the biennial session amendment
and is necessary if. that is adopted.
The three should be voted down togeth-
err. - ~ 40 j.
4. The fourth gives women the right
to vote at any election where the ques-
ton of selling, licensing or manufac-
turing intoxicating liquors is to-: he
voted upon. This is :.n excellent a.
mendment and should he adopted by
all means. Giving women their natur.
al right to vote at school elections has
been a success, and they should by all
means be allowed to vote OH the liquor
question: u
S. The fifth<amendment is an exceed
ingly important one. It forbids the
appropriation Of money by the State,
or Of property, for the support of secta-
rian schools. This should be adopted.
One of the growing curses of the coun-
try is the effort of sectarians to secure
State or municipal aid to the support
OF their sectarian schools.
6. The sixth is the old amendment
concerning the liability of stock hold
ers. It was rejected before on account
Of defective wording. It now reads as
folloWs:.i Ei;G., 2,.'.r! mr. 3l:, /. ..
q Each stockholaer in any corporation
shall be liable forall unpaid instalments
ON stOck owned; by him, sor transferred
for the: purpose of defrauding credi-
tors. u II 7%:...t - !, ,,.&;:; ,.s,
