HOME. After all, when one comes
to think of it, there are not many
homes There are, of course, innu>
merable places which go by the
names of homes, called SO for want
of better designation, or because
everybody calls the place where be
eats and sleeps; but when you come
down to the real sober fact, homes
are comparatively scarce.
A home is refuge place from
the storms, the fret and worry of
life. 1t is a place where the hus~
baud comes home to a sanctuary,
where smiles snd loving words an
swer bis smiles aud greeting. 1t is
place where the wife reigns 10 her
benignity and grace not it may be
the grace of outward beauty or cul-
tivation, but of true womanhood,
where she receives honor aud love
even as she gives them both. 1t is
a place where children are happier
than anywhere else 10 the world,
because there are the choicest words,
the brightest looks and the kindest
acts. Such are not the majority of
homes as we find them.
How does it happen that when
you see a real home, light, pleas
ant spot where every one seems to
be happy; where if husband and
wife had MISUNDERSTANDING, no one
seems to know it; where laughter
and smiles are perpetual guests, why
does it strike one as peculiar and
noticeabieY Simply because there
are so few Of them.

The Republican papers are generr

The Republican papers are gener'
ally surprised that a State Senator
elect should acknowledge that he
paid money to aid in his election,
and that he should decline to take
the iron-cIad oath declaring that he
did not expend any money in
aid of his election. Most of the
Senators use money 10 the elections,
and take the oath also. But Mr..
Eckley B. Cox, Democrat, of Lu>
zerne county, Pennsylvania, declin-
ed to take the oath, and gave up his
seat in the Senate, openly avowing
that he did not use money. A rare
case of political conscience, and Mr..
Cox should have due credit.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the
authorities of San Francisco to pre-
vent the establishment OF leprosy
among the population by sending
back all Chinese lepers that could be
found, it appears that the terrible
disease has secured footbold there.
One physician reports that sixteen
white lepers of both sexes, have APP
piled to him for treatment within q
short time, and all of them incura-
bic.

DnBAspD TO 1aNoBLE ENDS.

Unlimited and unqualified suffrage
as prevails in the United States,
may be the true essence of liberty
as vouchsafed by Republican form
of government, but the observer OF
events must feel that many crimes
have been and are committed in the
name of liberty. In many instances,
these days, with large number of
voters. some white and many of sa-
bic hue, the ballot has ceased to be
the true exponent of a freemsn's
will, but is debased to a purcbasable
commodity, on level with the mar>
ket value of buckster's vegetables.
Manhood and the inestimsbie boon
of citizenship aud the right of suf>
frage are prostituted to the demands
of passion, love of filthy lucre and a
thirst for fred liquor" Well may
the statesman and political economist
stop and ponder and enquire, with
err are we drifting

THE COMING CROP YEAR.

1t is an old saying that a heavy
snow is a good coat of manure. The
old inhabitants are predicting an ex
ceptionally good crop year, and we
believe the prediction will be veri~
fed. 1881 is an odd year, and there
is an old notion that there is luck in
odd numbers. ROsin DeBow thought
so, and made some song about it.
We therefore recommend all our
farming friends to bend themselves
to the work of making their farms
hump this year. Prepare the land
welI-fertilize it libersIly-sow it in
seasons-work it judiciously, and if
a good crop does not reward the
labor, we will give it up Give
the seasons and the soil fair chance,
and we have an abiding faith in the
result. Snow or no snow-but es~
pecially with the snow.

to have an attorney at Columbus,

THE LOUISIANA POLL TAX Law

Louisiana has q sort of cast-iron
poll tax law. Collectors have power
to seize and sell the property of de-
linquents, and employers are held
responsible for the payment of the
poll tax of their employees, being au'
thorized to deduct the same from
wages due. The New Orleans Times
few days ago paid the poll tax of
forty four of its eighty employees.
Speaking of the operations Of this
law the Times says:
"The poll tax law of this State,
as now enforced, accOmplishes the
wonderful feat of collecting this tax
without disfranchising any citizens.
For many years past the States have
been endeavoring to do this, but
have hitherto found no other mode
of doing it except by making pay
ment of the tax prerequisite to vot-
ing. This is the law in Massachu-
sets, Virginia and Georgia and
while it yields a large revenue, it
has many disastrous effects, reduces
the vote of the State one-half and
creates bribery at elections-the
cost of vote being the payment of
a mans poll tax. The former law
in this State was even worse, since
it collected this tax only from citi~
zens owning real estate, and not
from those from whom it was intend
ed to cOme-citizens paying no
taxes at all. The law st present
solves the dilemma-nobody is dis
franchised, yet everybody is com
pelIed to paw up"

A REGISTRATION LAW.

A registration law is one of the
needs of the State, and we are glad
to see it is being urged with great
earnestness by the most inhuen~
tial papers of the State. We have
long commended that the purity OF the
ballot box could not be preserved
only by the adoption of such law.
AS it is, more or less illegal votes
are cast at every election, and much
dissatisfaction prevails. 1t is true
there is on the statute books a law
prohibiting those from voting who
fail to pay all taxes against them,
but it does not prohibit, because the
law is not enforced. 1t is practical
" a dead letter. 1t should be strict
" carried out or stricken from the
statute books. Notwithstanding its
non observance, it is as much of a
law, as the law against murder.
A iudicious registration law would
impose an imperative duty on man
ayers, officers and voters that could
not be shirked with impunity. Let
us have it.
