The Planets this Month.

During March, Neptune, Jupiter,
Mars and Venus are evening stars; Ur-
anus and Mercury were morning stars
until the morning of the 10Th, when the
former planet was in opposition to
the sun and at his nearest point to the
earth. After this event the five other
planets are evening stars, and are all
travelling in opposition to conjunction in
the following order: Neptune, Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars and Uranus. There will
be no more opposition to note until De-
cember, when Neptune again takes the
lead. March closes, however, with
every one of our brother planets con-
gregated on the eastern side of the sun.
for, ON the 2Sth, Mercury becomes an
evening star. The March moon was full
on the 18th. She is in conjunction with
Jupiter on the 7th,. with Mars on the
9Th and with Uranus on the 18th, pay
ing her respects to each outer planet in
the order of his distance from the sun.
On the 26th the moon is in conjunction
with Mercury, the day before her
change. The new moon of the 9th
commences the same unceasing round,
pausing near Neptune on the 2sth, and
paying her respects to Venus and Sat
urn on the 30th.

Concerning Road Improvement.

There is no Disgusting the fact, moth
ing benefits the people of county seat
or county so much as well improved
roads, and while this is fact it is equal
ly true that our roads are neglected as
no other interest.
The people should wake up and take
steps towards improving the highways.
1t is money in the pockets of the farm
ers to have good roads, as it is to the
business men, to say nothing of the
pleasure and comfort they give to man
kind generally.
We understand gravel in single bank
on the farm of Mr.. L. +. Ames, s,eone
mile up the river, is sufficient to gravel
all the roads leading from Napoleon
several miles, and no doubt other banks
exist in the county which would be
sufficient to gravel all the main road
ways of the county. Our columns are
open to any to make suggestions upon
road improvement, and for the benefit
of the people we solicit papers upon the
subject.

The Scott Law.

After long and continued agitation
and debate, the Democratic members of
the Legislature have agreed to q bill
forming graded tax, as follows:
On sales less than $1,000 per annum,
S75; from $4,000 to s., 900, $1OO; from $3,-
600 to $4, 900, $3.50; from $4,000 to $4,000,
5000; from $4,000 to $1,000, $3.50; over
$4,000, $3.50.
This graduation .of the tax upon Ii
quor is more just than the provisions of
the Scott Law, but whether it will give
better satisfaction is doubted. We be-
lieve the Legislature would have acted
in accordance with the feelings of a
large majority of the people, had it left
the law amended as at first agreed up
striking out the McConnelsville
clause and providing for the semi-an-
nual collection of the tax-and then
next year, when the people voted for
members of the Legislature, submit an
amen dment favoring license.

wealth of nations, which has governed
this country heretofore, and which con-
stitute the basis Of credit throughout
the civilized world. Sound-headed fin
anciers and statesmen are astounded.
The Constitution is already as plain as
ii can be made. But already several
of the Constitution have
been proposed in Congress. The fault is
not in the Constitution but in the par
tisan character of the Supreme Court
and the narrow views of "a majority of the
judges. None of the amendments pro-
posed would make the Constitution any
palmer or more precise than it now is
on that subject

Hon. s. Nj. Heller a Candidate for
Congress.

Hon. Sam. Heller, of Napoleon, was
in town last week, getting acquainted
with our people, to whom he announced
himself as candidate for Congress. As
there is a Democratic majority of about
5000 in the district, we presume we can
say what we please about their candi-
dates without endangering brilliant
prospects of any of people in this be-
half. Of Mr.. Heller we can say that the
Democratic party has gone further and
Jared good deal worse in times past.
The above is clipped from the Column
bus Grove Tdette, and is one among
many notices given of Mr.. Heller's pill
grimage over the district, formally an
nouncing himself as a candidate for
Congress from this district. Mr. HI. re-
ports that he is perfectly satisfied with
the outlook, and that he has received
unlocked ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from every
quarter of the district, making his chan
ces for nomination good. He says he
is in the fight and will use all legitimate
means for success. That Mr.. HI. will
make good Congressional representa-
tive is conceded by all and his friends
in Henry county will present his name
to the convention and earnestly ask that
he be nominated.

A County Fair Assured.

Quite large meeting was held at the
Court House on Saturday to talk over
the prospects of organizing a County
Fair Association. The attendance was
better than the most sanguine looked
for, and the interest manifested clearly
shows that the people are ripe for the
organization, and that it only wants
leaders to push the matter to a success
full end. These have come forward and
within the next three weeks the county
will be canvassed for stockholders, and
but little doubt remains but that all the
stock will be taken. Near one hundred
shares were shown to have been taken
at the meeting on Saturday.
This is matter in which every farm
er in the county should be interested, as
it is for his mutual benefit, and all that
are able should at. least subscribe for
one share. The plan of organization is
such that every stock holder shall have
q voice i'm the selection of officers for the
organization, and as the shares are linn
tied to but two for each individual
shareholder there can be no monopoly
about it-that is the organization cam
not be run in the interest of no one
man,
Another meeting is called for April
1st, at the Court House, at o'clock d.
M, when further progress is hoped to
be made, and perhaps enough stock ta-
ken to allow the selection of officers,
and thus perfect the organization so
that work for the coming fair this year
be begun as early as possible. Let the
meeting be we'll attended.

The Legal Tender Decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court on
the legal tender question puts new
face upon the Constitution of the United
States, says the American Register.
1t changes the character of our Govern
ment in financial matters, creates new
standard Of value, and cuts loose from
the safe and salutary doctrine of the

The Origin of the Democratic Party

The Origin of the Democratic Party
The Democratic party originated in
1888 out of differences of opinion as to
the fundamental doctrines of civil gov
ernment, formulated substantially in
the Declaration of Independence; and
as to the Interpretation to be given to
the delegated powers of the Federal
Government; and also as to the true
mode and principals of their admins
tration, briefly sketched in Jefferson's
first inaugural address on the 4th of
March, 1901. This party was founded
upon the idea ola Democratic repre-
sentative republic, of the people, for
the people, and by the people. The
philosophical principal that the govern
ment is legitimately instituted for the
binefit and protection of the governed
on the basis of equality, deriving its
just powers from the consent of the
governed, in whom alone sovereignty
resides, is the foundation of the Demo-
cratic party. According to this theory
the primary object of government is
the protection of man in his inaliena-
BILE rights Of life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness, which is equivalent
to the protection of the rights of per-
sonal security, personal liberty, and
private property, secured in Magma
Charta, and declaredto be the birth
right of the English people. These
three objects essential to the liberties
of the people, were upon the doctrine
of the Democracy, guaranteed in both
the State and the Federal Constitu-
| tions.

Porter vindicated-Logan Defeated

On Friday last, by a vote of 36 to 25,
the Senate passed the bill for the relief
of Fitz John Porter. The New York
Herald says "this is long deferred but
richly deserved victory for General Por-
ter; it is also crushing defeat for Gen
eral Logan, whose ignorance and stu
pidity never were more Extensively
prominent than in the long war of
words that ended yesterday. 1t is re-
ported that the defeat of Porter was to
constitute Logan's strongest claim to
the Presidency. If this is true Other
candidates need not lie awake nights y

cans.
