rendered a week ago, that the Fonu Io.
li1uOr tax law was unconstitutional, was

State and at once became the topic or
discussion and comment, geneIa!ly as
suming a political type, some claiming
it would help to recover the lOsU grip Vi
the Republican party, Others rearing
party damage, as to many, uhuseu 10

SYLLABUS, or court dictum, Oy OKey,
First - The coDstitutiOnality of a
statute depends upon its operation ana
effect, and not upon the form II may De
made to assume.
SecOnd-A license is permission grant
ed by some competent authority 10 40
an act which, without such permlSslon'
would be illegal. ,oo,
Third-The act of April 5th, 1882, en-
titled can Act to more ettectually pro
vide against the evils resulting from
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors, ('9
Ohio Laws, 66) which requires every per-
son engaged or engaging IN such traIlc
to pay specified sum OF money annu-
ally, and execute a bond as theTe re-
uuired, and also provides that every
person who shall engage, or continue
in such traffic without having executed
the bond ..... shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanOr, is in its operation
and effect a license within the inhlbl-
tiOn of the Constitution, which provides
that "NO license in intoxicating liquors
hall hereafter be granted in this state.
Judge Johnson dissents from the thlTu
point of the syllabus. Goodbye to the
toll of Gen. Pond and the aggressive
spirit of the party prompting doubtful
legislation for partisan effect.
LABOR STAMPEDE.
The extensive strikes inaugurated and
forshadOwed surpass anything that have
heretofore massed large bodies of tOllers
into the ranks of the non producers.
The AmaIgamated Iron and Steel Work
ers, together with the miners III the an
thracite and bituminOus coal regions
combined, aggregate force formidable
indeed. They insist on the abolition or
store orders, the establishment OF tre-
qqent and regular pay days, together
with other reforms, with a vehement
persistence, which seemingly makes
long strike inevitable.
WAITING FOR THE PAGEANT.
The whimsical clerk of the weather
has, for 10, these many days, been play
ing hob with the schemes and calcula-
tiOns of manhood, wOmanhOOd and
childhood. After a dreary tedium of
several weeks, the entire population
pant for an airing, and "spring styles"
are shrinking in dark, musty ward
robes, waiting an opportunity to parade
the pave with stunning effect, and
have now resolved to wait for the CO.
lOsspJ pageant of 4-paw, surnamed
Adam, probably in cOmmemOratiOn of
the virtue and utility of the original
Adam, who whispered his plaintiye song
of love into the willing ear of Eve,
from which huge results have devel-
Oped.
Americans are emphatically show
loving peOple-the street parade en-
chants, and the sports of the arena be-
wilder and enthuse. Scenes of beauty
and wonder, if not joy forever, are sure
to delight intensely while they last, and
to the credit of the FOrepaugh manage
ment it may be asserted that his fame,
won in years of tribulatiOn in the tent
ing business, will guarantee for him
and his gorgeous procession as eager a
crowd, as many smiling faces and as
much bright raiment as ever watched
parade in this city. The long, glittering
cavalcade will tempt nearly all to pass
the financial concOmitants of cash
wagon and ticket taker, when at once
the cost will be forgotten, in the flood
of light and beauty which will speckle
and SDanple audience and actors in
