ly, and that il would arrest instantly the in
crease of population in the State. 1t would
stop the sale in the-State of over 5000, 600
bushels of barley annually and many mil
lions more of corn and rye as well as of
more than 5000, 900 pounds OF hops Who
would make good these losses to our farm
ers from the sudden drop in the market
price OF the products of their farms? Who
would find employment for this army of
idle men, or who would come forward
willingly to pay the taxes needed for sup
porting the vast increase in our paupers
that such social upheaval would inevita-
bly, produce.
If barley could not be matted and brew
ed it would be no more valuable TO feed to
stock than corn. If corn could not be dis
titled il would have to fatten pork II
pork is raised in excess of the demands of
our people for consumption its price would
decline to unremunerative rates. If our
| farmers, who now from the surplus of their
crops can educate their sons and daugh-
ters, and cloth them in silks and fine
clothes, could not sell their pork, barley
and corn and cattle except at less than il
cost them to produce these articles, they
could buy no silks nor broadcloths, nor
books, nor pianos Their daughters would,
therefore, be compelled to spin and weave
seys of olden times, and the fathers to toll
wearily to mill with the divided bag of
grist laid across the plow-horse, and live

All in a Nutshell.

The Committee appointed by the Second
Amendment Convention held in Wooster,
August 18th, have published an address to
thevoters of Wayne County, in which they
say:
The people of the State who are not on
ly interested in its material prosperity, but
who also desire to see its moral condition
improved, have grown tired of trif1ng, and
in response to their demand for more eff
cient legislation on the subject, the Legis-
lature, by the submission of the two pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution, has
given us the opportunity, and placed upon
us the responsibility of saying what shall
be done.
The proposed amendments read as fol-
lows:
FIRST PROPOSITION.
"The additional section" )" in and with
section eighteen of the schedule shall be
repealed, and there shall be substituted for
it the following
"The General Assembly shall regulate
the traffic in intoxicating liquors so as to
provide against the evils resulting there
from; and its power to levy taxes or assess
ments thereon is not limited by any pro
vision of this constitution"
SECOND PROPOSITION.
"The additional section" in and with
section eighteen of the schedule shall be
repealed, and there shall be substituted for
it the following:
"The manufacture of and the traffic in
intoxicating liquors to be used as a bever-
age, are forever prohibited; and the Gen.
eral Assembly shall provide by law for the
enforcement of this provision"
In the above propositions we have the
issues clearly defined and set before us.
The first proposition is to provide against
the evils resulting from the liquor traffic
by regulation and taxation.
1t says the legislature SHALL regulate
the traffic." thus limiting and restricting
its power to one particular method-regu-
lation, and by so doing making prohibi-
tion impossible.
Again, by the repeal of the no license
clause and making il obligatory upon the
Legislature to regulate the traffic, il
opens the door to license system which
the people of the State have twice repudi-
ated.
In briet, the objections to the first prop
osition are:
1st. 1t recognizes the drink traffic as
proper and legitimate.
End. 1t acknowledges that evils result
from the traffic, and yet it only offers us the
inadequate remedy of regulation.
3rd, 1t makes the passage of a prohibi-
tory law impossible, by restricting the
power of the Legislature to regulate.
4th. 1t opens the door to the license sys
tenn.
9th. 1t is based upon principles that
are wrong, and will utterly fail to settle
the question according to right and justice
and anything short of this will not be a
settlement of this question.
On the other hand, the second PROPOSE
tion, known as the Prohibitory Amend
ment, is clear, distinct and positive, and
leaves no doubt as to its intent and purpose
While it also proposes to repeal the no
license clause Of the Constitution, it pro

WE DESIRE to call the attention of the
friends Of the Second Amendment to the
fact that the opponents of that measure in
our midst are actively engaged in system
attic efforts to defeat it. One of their
methods is to give out, in pompous tones,
that the wave of indignation against the
saloons which is sweeping over the State
like q cyclone, is receding, and that men
who were yesterday in favor of the meas
ure are to-day opposed to it. We do not
believe the citizens of Wellington and
Lorain County are made of that kind Of
material, but that when they have once
made up their mind that thing is right
they will stand by it if all the politicians
rings and ould-be-leaders are opposed tc

yides for the substitution of positive prohi-
bition.
The points to be gained by the adoption
of the Second Amendment are briefly as
follows:
1st The drink traffic would be outlawed
in the State.
End. Prohibition would be the recog-
nized policy of the StaIe in dealing with
the drink traffic.
3rd. The Legislature, no matter what its
political complexion, would not only be
authorized, but commanded by the peo-
ple--the source of power-to enact laws
to make the prohibitory policy effective.
4th. Its simple adoption would so Grip
pie the traffic that our Legislators, know
ing that they had not only the moral sup
port of the best classes of the State, but
their support at the ballot box as well,
would be eager to adopt legislation that
would make prohibition effective.

A judge il st. Louis has discharged

cuted for whipping boy after milder
punishment had been of no avail. The
court found that, in order to preserve
discipline, the teacher must determine the
necessity, the nature, and extent of pun
ishment, his acts, like those of parent

judge also said: "Four years experience
in the administration of criminal law con-
vinces me that the boys who become
criminals are boys who don't get whipped;

A party of Neg Perce Indians came il
yesterday and will leave to-day on the
Central Pacific emigrant train. Their
destination is the Indian reservation in
Northern Idaho, and they are under the
care and leadership of james Reuben,
from whom We learned many interesting
facts regarding them They have been
living in the Indian Territory, and ars
mostly widows and children. Furnished
by the Government with rations and res
idence only, they have no means Of cal-
tivating the ground given them, no horses
or implements we're furnished for their
use, and when sickness came, as it does
frequently, in the Indian territory, in the
shape Of chills and fever, they become
disheartened AND forlorn. Last August
James Reuben represented their condi-
ton to the Government, and permission
was obtained this spring for the party we
are describing to return once more TO

1t is curious and striking feature of
European civilization that the amount
of money expended for war purposes is
vastly above the amount expended in the
cause of education. In France, cit is
said, the ratio is about fifteen to one; in
Russia, eighty to one; in England, six to
one; in Prussia, four to one; in Denmark,
two TO one. In Switzerland alone the
ratio is about even.
