ed enactments, introduced by a Mr..
Cody, is a remarkable production!
Besides demanding from -appli-
cant for license TO sell liquor bonds
for not less than $4,000, to be sub
scribed by three sureties each worth
$4,000, it requires every person who
wishes to buy Intoxicating drinks to
make a statement of the quantity
desired and of the purpose for which
it is to be used, These statements
are to be registered with, the county
Board, to be open to public inspec.
ton for three years, and to be pub
lished every month in one Of the
county newspapers; and any person
making a statement of this kind
that is false in whole Oh part, is de
clared guilty of perjury, and is made
liable to five years imprisonment in
the State Prison. Giving away in.
toxicating liquors is subjected to the
same restrictions and liabilities as
selling it, and all kinds of bitters
cordials, and appetizers classed
as intoxicating liquors. But the
most ingenious portion of the whole
bill. is found ia the provision that il

cused shall not be deemed to be in

The three days steady rain of last
week, seemed to cover almost the
face of the earth with water, and
cities, towns, farms and railroads
werescompletely dclugcd and over
flown. There never was before such
a general washing out of the country
since old Noah foated around in his
ark of safety. Five miles of the city
of New Orleans was under water
and more shan 10000 of it's inhabi-
tants driven from their homes TO be
fed and provided for by the city
authorities. The damage to PROPER
ty is very great. Washington city
was overlooked and Pennsylvania
avenue from the Capitol to the Pres
idential Mansion was a river of wat
er in which the Inhabitants foated
around in boats. Considerable dam
age was done to public as well as pri.
vate buildings. Toledo suffered also,
the water being five feet high in the
Union Depot. Cincinnati, was wash
ed out as usual. Hamilton was sub
merged and the c. H. &c D. and Gin,
& Chicago railroad bridge across the
Miami very much wrecked, so much
so that trains ceased to run over it.
Cleveland and Dayton suffered, and
all the large and small towns along
the water courses were more or less
injured. Mills, farm houses, barns
fences, timber, railroad and public
highway bridges, were swept away
like chaf before the wind. The loss
to railroads in Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania has been immense

attend to their legislative duties
than to attend Gen. Garfeld's in

ing for this Legislature to do than
to pass the appropriation bills and
adjourn. They will, however, string
out the session just so long. If the
Legislature is kept in session at Co,

they are working, they will tinker at

can lay their hands on, and thereby
are liable to work injury to the State.

WHO Are The Prosperous ones

~
Who Are The Prosperous Ones?
Simple souls who girded on their
armour and rushed to athe polls. and
voted early and often for Garfield
last November on account of the as
sertions Of our esteemed Republican
contemporaries that there was much
prosperity existing, and alone the
grand old Republican party did it,
and if the bad, naughty, wicked,
mean Democrats got into power hard
times would at once ensue, and the
laborers, artisans and saIary-reoeiv-
ing classes would suffer. are re
specially requested to readthis from
the New York Times, the leading
Republican paper in New York:
"It is the habit of many house =
holders of a providcnt economical
turn tf mind TO look over and cast
up, about this time, their accounts
for the year just closed. Some who
have already done so are unpleasant
ly surprised to find that their ex-
penses have materially increasedover
those of the previous year, although
they have not perceptibly altered
their mode of living: No
doubt the improved business and
prospects of the country, especially
the sense of widespread prosperity
since the beginning of 1879, have
gradually put up prices of goods of
every sort. SIS The, trouble
is, tdat while business generally is
so thriving, while so much money is
making and has been made through
out the land, the profits and pros
perity are confined to comparatively
few. The bulk of the people have
not been materially benefited by
the change. The laborer, mechanic,
salesman. accountant and the rest
can hardly earn any more now than
they did twelve or fifteen months
ago, and on them the burden of in
creased prices chiefly falls" 7'sa
But the unhappy Democrat that
ventured to say apythingo of that sort
during the recent campaign was
promptly and vigorously denounced
as a ballot box suffer, a bull-dozer
an emissary of the Golden Club and
a Mother Carey's chicken.
