THE PROPOSITION IN OHIO.

The Ohio Legislature is seeking to put
the constitution of that State in the
same attitude toward the liquor traffic
as that occupied by the constitution Of
West Virginia.
Last week Hon. COATES KINNEY in
troduced in the Ohio Senate a resolu-
ton to submit a constitutional amend
ment to be voted on at the election in
October, 1883, which proposes to remove
from the constitution all limitations on
the power of the Legislature to enact
laws concerning the liquor traffic in the
State, and leave the whole matter en-
tirely to legislation.
AS the Constitution now stands there
are three clauses limiting the power Of
the lawmakers. One section forbids
to the Legislature the power to either
license or prohibit entirely the sale OF
intoxicants. In another the power to
submit the subject to local option is pro-
hibited and in 3 third they are denied
the right to levy a special tax. The
object Of the Kinney Amendment is to
remove all these restrictions and giveto
the Legislature full power to act in the
matter as they see proper. The resOlu-
ton passed the Senate on Tuesday and
is now before the House for its action.
If this provision passes the Legisla-
ture and the people, it will then put it
within the power of the legislative
body to meet the evils of ne liquor
traffic as they arise, and not cOntine it
to any one policy or restrain it in the
adoption of any measure that the situa-
ton may require. The present Consti-
tuition of Ohio is intended to be prOhi-
bitoTy, but makes free trade in whisky.
The Legislature cannot license or tax
it. They now want to get on the plat
form of the WsSt Virginia Constitution,
and give the Legislature full power to
deal with it, even to enacting absolute
prohibition.

THE NEW cIrY COUNCIL.

Whist the new City Council will do
with the pending public questions that
have been under discussion for SOME
months past cannot, of course, be an
ticipated until its spirit and temper are
disclosed by actual encounter with one
or more of these measures.
The questions to which we refer
might all be iRcludedin the oneinquiry,
will the policy Of the new Council be
liberal or stinted towards those move
ments and measures which involve the
growth and development Of the city?
Various projects have been maturing
during the past year which, II properly
h~andled-if met with q spirit OF liberal-
ity and business enterprise-win give
an impetus to the city it has not met
before in its history. 1t Is a fact that
does not admit Of dispute that the mar
row and parsimonious. policy OF our
city toward public enterprises In the
psst has been onr greatest misfortune.
We can look back now, when it Is too
late, and see where and when we have
made mistakes. We have cut the city
off from the chief benefit of the import
ant railway lines that skirt IL suburbs
and made it to depend on switches. We
might have had the benefit Of the rail-
roads on the Ohio side, and a bridge at.
little expense to ourselves which was
driven four miles below. We have
adopted \ pickering, technical, llliberal
and suspicious style of dealing with
great public enterprises that inspires
only enmity between the city and capt.
tai which seeks to share our possible
prosperity.
During the coming year, we say,
there is q prospect that many move
ments will be put on foot that will en-
able the city to regain in a measure,
the ground it has lost in the past, and
it will rest with the present Council to
say whether a liberal policy shall make
the most of our opportunities or a mar
row and misery spirit shall keep us in
the background. We sincerely hope
that an enlightened and progressive
spirit will be shown to have the ascend
ency in our City Council. 1t will be
time enOught to p~articularize when these
public questions arise, as they soon
will. We throw out this general hint
at this time, that members may be re-
minded thus early of the great expecta-
tons that center in them in this regard.

THE health officers advise prompt
and thorough vaccination Is the best
method of preventing smallpox from
gaining a foOthOld in this city. Not
that its visitation in epidemic form is
supposed to be imminent, for such is
not the case; but whenever the danger
becomes obvious, even in a limited or
isolated shape, it is the wiser policy to
be prepared for it in advance. Eaccin-
alton, in fact, is always in order, and is
not only proven by experience to be the
best safeguard against One of the most
dreaded of all diseases, but when gen.
orally enforced as it should be, does very
much to allay exaggerated a%pprehen-

THE Ohio state Forestry Association
does not seem disposed to give up the
coed work begun last year. 1t has I'M
der consideration a draft of a law to be
submitted to the Legislature for adop-
ton in the interest of t~ree-planting. 1t
defines the kinds of trees and distance
to be planted; provides that the fourth
Friday in April shall be "Arbor Day"
in the public schools. \ reward of one
dollar per tree is to be paid for planting
on the highways and keeping alive for
one year. A State Forester is recon-
mended.

Internal Revenue Taxes.

The Supreme Court has decided that
the Ku-Klux laws are unconstitutional
This wipes them out from the statute book.
Thus one relic which remained from the
war OF the rebellion is utterly swept away
forever.
Another of these relics is the internal
revenue taxation. 1t should be wiped out
likewise. But this duty cannot be done by
a court; it must be lone by Congress.
The Republican party has a majority in
both Houses of Congress. 1t is responsible
for whatever is ID Ions there.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER


New York, Doc, 8, 1888.
The advent of cold weather and
brisk December breezes bring the
color into the cheeks Of pedestrians
and starts nee more the reverend
ing discussion about the use OF
paints and coSmetics-notably,
paint and powder-by New York
women. This is n of the signs
of the advancing season. We have
the discussion regularly every
year. In the summer, and as
long as mild weather lasts, men
are not apt to notice the artistic
decorations women use in embel-
lshing their faces ; but as soon as
the brisk winter weather comesthe
cold air ond high wind bring the
genuine color to women's cheeks,
and the contrast between that and
the artificial decoration is so very
apparent that discussion is provok
ed at once. The case of the ballet
dancer who was taken from Niblo's
theater to the New York hospital,
and lay at the point of death Tor
sevrral days from lead poisoning,
came at the heat OF tue discussion.
She used paint and powder in max
ing up for the stage, and nearly
died in consequence. While few
women carry the vice, if it may be
called a vice. SO far as the untortu-
nate ballet dancer did, there are
still many thousands here who
regularly paint and powder. There
is one rule that all such women
should follow: Never appear in
the streets when there is a brisk
wind,
The rage for antique is probably
over. The manufacturers have
killed the geese that laid the gold
en- eggs, by turning out antiques SC
fast that they become a drug on
the market. When a few enthu.
siasts began some years ago, to
buy bits OF ancient bric-a-brac, old
furniture, antiquated spinning
wheels and like objects, everybody
followed their lead, and the result
was that every honse one entered
was embelished with clocks tina
looked like old worn out cetfins
chairs that were never intended t
be sat upon by human beings an'
all sorts of odds and ends, exhibit
ed MS family heir looms. For
time these things were really old
but after a while the dealers saw
