HoxE RULE.-One of the battle cries of
the Democratic party is, ''Home Rule!"
By this, the impression is intended to be
conveyed, that this party desires that the
people shall be governed by men, whom
they may choose Of their own free viii at
the ballot box, and that it is the special
guardian of the people in this respect.
The last General Assembly gave the lie
to this pretense at its late session, and
showed that the Democratic party is in
favor of "Home Rule" so long as the peo-
pie elect Democrats to Office. But, thatso
soon as the people think that their inter
ests require officers belonging to another
party, the principle of ''Home Rule" is to
be ruthlessly thrust aside.
The municipal Improvements and great
public financial interests of the city of Gin
einnati, have for several years been looked
after by five officers elected by the people,
and called the Board of Public Works.
The affairs of that city have been wisely
managed by this Board, and the people
of that city, without regard to party lines,
had great confidence in it.
Prior to the April election, 1879, it con-
sisted of three Democrats and two Repub-
licans. At that election each political
party presented a candidate for that Board,
and the people at fair election said, as
solemnly as they could say st the ballot
box, that they preferred to have the Re
publican candidate serge them. Thus the
political standing Of this Board was chang
ed by the direct act of a majority of the
people.
This KIND Of home rule did not suit our
Democratic General Assembly, and so soon
as the will of the people became known,
bill was introduced and made law, which
legislated these five officers out Of office
and replaced them with five others ap-
pointed by Democratic Police Judge. In
thirty-seven days after the election, the
man, who had been elected, was thrust out
of Office, and a man, who had been reject
ed by the people, was put in his place.
The constitution of this State provides,
that the State Board of Public Works
shall consist of three members, one to be
elected each year by the people Of the
whole State. In January, 1879, the Dem
ocraiic Legislature discovered that this
Board had upon it two Republicans and
one Democrat. One of these Republicans
had been elected by majority of the YO-
tiers of the State, at the preceding election
in October. "Home Rule" as exemphfed
in this Board did not please the last Leg
islature, and il therefore proceeded to null
ify the power of the majority, by ProYid-
ing.that the Chief Engineer, a mar ap-
pointed by the Governor, and a Democrat,
should have equal power with any mem
Der of the Board of Public Works, in the
making of appointments. Thus by giving
the Engineer the same power as the officers
created by the constitution, and elected by
people, they made the Board stand two
Democrats to two Republicans.
This is Democratic "Home Rule" as
practiced by the last Legislature, but it
is due to many good Democrats in Ohio, to
say that they demurred to and violently
opposed these acts.

| [Ottawa Free Trader
| As the soathern outrage mill done
seem to be sufficiently active to satisfy the
staiwarts, the papers of that ilk have at
| tempted new scare, to the effect that
the democrats when they get into power
intend to so reorganiZe the United States
supreme court as to secure a decision
against the constitutionaliiy of the amend-
ments. The stalwarts themselves having
set the example of reconstructing the
court 80 as to get opinions to order,
naturally conclude that the democrats are
equally dishonest. We have, however, yet
the first democrat to hear of who pro-
poses IN the slightest degree to disturb the
thirteenth amendment. The idea of the
supreme court. which itself is the creature
OF the constitution, passing upon the
validity of THAT instrument. involves at
the outset an absurdity. The amend
ments were made by congress, ratified by
the states. then returned to congress and
duly authenticated, and then published by
the executive. An assertion by the
supreme court of the power 10 go behind
the broad seal of the executive, and review
and nullify their acts, is too ridiculous to
have entered the head of any one but the
crazlest kind of stalwart. Suppose ii is
all true, as the Aurora Beacon suggests,
that in reality sufficient number OF states
did not ratify the amendments, several
northern states, after such ratification,
having Withdrawn it, and several southern
states not having been properly recon
structed when they ratified; yet. congress
and the executive having certified to the
regularity of the ratification, in what way
is the supreme court to get behind that
certificate and pronounce it untrue? The
thing is too ridiculous to justify serious
discussion.
