ventiOn on Wednesday, August 2, just one week
before the Republican Convention meets. There
large attendance of representative men OF
the Democratic party. and the expression was
general and emphatic in favor of a strong plank
against the submission to the people of the
prohibition northumberland.
What is the use of such foolish lying?
Ether you are very ignorant or you must
have poor opinion of the intelligence of
your readers. The question of submission
can not by any sort of a possibility get into
the canvass. The Constitution has removed
it clear out. The Legislature can only vote
on the amendments. It can have no vote
on the question of submission. The Con-
stituuon has decided it, and expressly says
that amendments must be submitted when a
second Legislature has passed favorably
upon them. If the members of the coming
Legislature are opposed to the amendments,
they may feel ever so willing to submit
them to the people; yet the Constitution
stops them right there, and the amendments
fail Thus the Journals charge that repre-
sentative men of the Democratic party are
in favor of a strong plank against submission
is simply nonsense.

Mr. ESGLIsH is running for Congress upon the
anti prohibition platform. What that question
will have to do in National Congress Is what mo
fellow can find out.'-Indianapolis Herald.
The fellows" who have no principles, or
who are afraid to express them, like the
fellows who nominated Peeile, may not
be able to "tind out, " but intelligent, fearless
people, who have correct opinions and the
manliness to express them, understand the
matter thoroughly. The latter class will
only support for office at the next election
\ men who are known to agree with them in
opposition to the fanatical ideS of prohibit
ton, whether in the State or Nation, and
| they are entirely satisfied with both Mr..
English's record and the platform on which
he is making the race He is no hypocrite,
neither is his party hypocritical. They say
what they mean and mean what they say,
and will receive the support of those
who are sincerely opposed to prohibition.
Besides 1t is we'll known that prohibition
can, in various ways, have a bearing on Con-
gresSional legislation and that matters con-
nected with the subject have already been
proposed there. Congress provides for
revenue to support the Government, and
does not the Herald know that a large por-
ton of it is derived from a tax levied by an
act of Congress upon spirituOus and malt
liquors winch would be materially lessened
if not destroyed by prohibition? And does
not the Herald know that it has recently
been proclaimed by leading Republican
Governor that 1t IS the intention of the Re
publican party to make prohibition Ma
tional? Governor ST. John, of Kansas, said
in a speech at Leavenworth recently:

And does not the Herald know that Mr.
Blair. the Republican United States Senator
from New Hampshire, proposes an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution which has
been briefly expressed by one of his admir-
ers in the following words That after the
year 1900 the manufacture and sale of dis
titled alcoholic liquors (exceptfor medicinal,
mechanical, chemical and scientific pur-
poses, and for the use of art, shall cease in
the United States and Territories, and their
importation and expectation shall be pro-
hibited.' The closing sections of the pro
posed amendments are:

THE sermon of Rev. A. II. Carrier. of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church, delivered yesterday is
man does not seem to be befogged upon the issue
before the people in the election of the next Gen
ersl Assembly, aud that is the ch 0ice of members
who will agree 10 the proposed amendments to the
Constitution. in order that the people may have a
distinct and direct vote upon them. That is the
question,-Journal.
Some of the boys around the Journal Of
flee went to Church on Sunday and found
out what would be "the issue in the APP
preaching campaign. A iamentable degree
of ignorance seems to have banked around
the concern. Linen was to be torn and the
ground plowed up unless the amendments
were submitted 10 the people. We pointed
out in our usual urbane, neighborly manner,
in stage underwhisper, out of regard for
our contemporaries feelings, that the Con-
stitution had already decided the matter
that there was no call for excitement and
bluster-that an amendment which had been
formerly considered and voted upon
by two successive Legislatures mus
be submitted to the people
But mo- Nothing would satisfy it. The
amendment must be submitted, Constitution
or no Constitution. We winked at our es
teemed Contemporary and made the usual
sign of the craft. which freely translated
means "Quit! you are making donkey Of
yourself" The hallucination continued
until Sunday. when Rev. Mr.. Carriers
sermon seems TO have opened its eyes justa
little, and it now takes the position that in
order to submit the prohibitory amendment
to the people, members OF the next legislature
must Be elected WhO are IN faUor Of prohibition
The Republican tactics heretofore have been
to say nothing about the prohibitory amend
ment in the canvass, and then smuggle
1t through the mex. Legislature as they did
through the lust one. The Democrats de-
mand that fun discussion may be had
during the approaching campaign that
members elected to the Legislature may be
fully posted regarding the desires of their
constituents. If the later desire that the
prohibitory amendment should become a
part of the Constitution of the State, LEI

ROBERT DALE OWEN ON CoNsTITU.
TIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The fact is not likely to begenerally denied
that Robert Dale Owen was recognized as a
le&dingspiritin the Convention which framed
the present Constitution of Indiana On
page ,s59 of the second volume of Consti-
tutional Debates, on the provision in refer
ence to amending the Constitution, as to
what it meant, Mr.. Owen is reported as fol-
lows:
Now think if 1t be made imperative that an
amendments proposed to be made to the Constitue
ton shall be voted for by two successive Legisla
lures 10 be clectod ,cih reference 10 that particular
subject. the question will be debated before the
people, and they will send Senators and Represen-
tatives with a special reference to That question.
This will be sufficient guard against improper
and ill-advised amendments"
This is the whole question in q nut shell.
The question of amending the Constitution
will be voted on by the next Legislature,
and it is desirable that the Legislature shall
be advised of the will of the people upon
the subject of prohibition. One Legislature,
without instruction, has voted upon 1t.
Therefore, it is all the more important that
the next Legislature shall be instructed, and
we have Mr.. Owens explicit declaration
that the trainers of the fundamental law of
the State intended it should not be amended
unless the Legislature had been elected with
special reference to such proposed amend
ment. The logic is convincing, and its force
will be at once admitted by men of all
parties who are willing to be governed by
fact rather than fiction.

THE Democrats ia Indiana have been congratu
lating themselves that they had the Republicans
on the defensive in that State. The liquor ques-
ton they thought would prove a source Of embar.
rsssment and weakness to the Republican party in
this years campaign. They are likely to be dis
appointed, however, as the Republicans do not
propose TO waste any time In explaining, but 70
lake manly stand by saying that the people
selves The State Convention will doubtless re-
solve that tine constitutional amendment should
be submitted to the people, and the matter will be
left for the voters 10 decide. vigorous aggressive
campaign viii be made on this issue.-New York
Tribune.
Here is some more bosh on the wing The
manly stand" taken by the Republicans in
this District was TO trot out their candidate
for Congress without a platform. They
were absolutely afraid to make one. He is
now before the people, aud nobody knows
what he is in favor OF or opposed to. So far
as the amendment is concerned the widest
discussion is courted by the Democrats. So
far as the question of submitting is con-
cerned the State Constitution says tina,
Il must be submitted if the coming Legisla-
ture adopts it; and when Democratic or a
Republican Convention resolve to submit
the amendments to the people, let it also
resolve that two and two make four. 1t will
make it "more binding on two and two to
make fourth fact two and two will feel
under additional obligation to make four.

Ware glad 10 see the Indianapolis Sentinel
favOring the submission of the prohibitOry amend
ment to the people at the November election, and
also opposing rohlbition.-Rushville Jacksonian.
That is just what the Sentinel is in favor
of. 1t demands for the people the privilege
of saying in November what their will is in
regard to prohibition. The issue has been
made by a Republican Legislature, and
forced upon the attention of the people, and
the Sentinel is anxious that the people shall
decide it to suit themselves. The Demo-
cratic party of Indiana does not shrink
from the contest nor dodge the issue. Re
pEblicans do both. A Republican Legisla-
ture has made an issue which the Repub-
lican party dare not meet, and the display
of Republican cowardice attracts attention
everywhere throughout the State.

Has the Journal no shame that it dares to
speak of the use of money in elections,
thus recalling the infamous use of money
by the Republicans in this State in 1880,
when Star Route Dorsey was Secretary of
one Republican Committee and the pro-
prletor of the Journal was the Chairman of
another? These worthless still retain their
official positions in the Republican party,
and one of them holds high office under
this Stalwart Administration, and controls,
to a great extent, the political patronage
IN Indiana. The same pious set probably
contemplate a repetition of the Corruption
of 1880, and the talk of the Journal may be
intended to divert attention from their de-
signs

uniting them TO popular vote, they are
powerless to do so. The matter is decided.
The Democratic party invite the fullest and
most exhaustive discussion upon the amend
ments during the coming canvass, so that
members of the Legislature may be fully
instructed by their constituents as to their
duty in regard to them. The party is most
emphatically in favor of ascertaining the
will of the people in the manner contem-
plated by the Constitution, and in carrying
that will into execution.

AN Independent" candidate for the next
Legislature is announced by the Bonneville
Enquirer on the sole issue of the submits
sion of the prohibitory amendment to a
vote of the people. Does our Independent"
friend not know that the State Constitution
has already decided the question of Sub
missionY If the.next Legislature passes
favOrably upon the amendment, the Con-
stitutien says Il must be submitted to popular
vote. If on the contrary the Legislature
does not pass favOrably upon it, the Consti-
tuition confers no power on that body to
submit it. 1t dies then and there. The
Journal and other Republican papers are
endeayoring to obscure the point, but no
intelligent man of either party should allow
himself to be bamboozled by them.
