THE SCOTT LAW IN OHIO.

The influence which the decision Of
the supreme court of Ohio, annulling tho
Scott liquor law, will exercise in the
election on Tuesday nexb is pather diff.
cult to determine. Tho democrats,
however, claim that 1t will help them
out materially, and they are accordingly
very jubilant oyer tho decision. On
the other hand sise republicans maintain
that it will havano eject whatever. as

ic judges, the two 10 publican judges dis

dem oryatic decision, although it may be
correct; but it waB whispered weeks ago
that the demoasa tic majority in the
supreme cour5 would make this
decision juss bsfore the No

decision until after tho election. Such
ought to have been tho impartial course
TO be pursue6i by n supreme court, which
ought to divosi itsSlf of aAl participation
in politics sither directly or indirectly.
The ground Vn which the supreme court
based their decision is that the state con-
stitution prohibits the granting of any
, liquor licsnss, and tho Scott law, which
imposes tax, virtually grants license,
. and henoe ia unconstitutional.

A CITIZEN of Bloomfield, Iowa, re.
Gently applied for an injunction to re-
strain the reading of the bible or the
singing of hymnu in the school attended
by his children. The application for an
injunction was refused, and he applied to
the supreme court of the state, which
sustained the decision of the lower court.
The judges said;
"The school house is in some sense for
the time being made place of worship.
But the object of the constitution is not
to prevent the casual use of q public
building as place for Offering prayer or
doing other acts of religious worship, but
to prevent the enactment OF a law where.
by any person can be compelled to pay
taxes for building or repairing to any
place designed to be used distinctively as
a place of Worship. Possibly" concludes
the opinion, "the plaintiff Is q propa.
gandist, and regards himself charged with
a mission to destroy the influence OF the
bible. But the courts are charged with
no such mission"

The cries in the state. In Columbus, for
example, the sum Of $4,000 was thus
collected, but no liquor taxes have been
realized this year, and as consequence
all the departments are behind in the
payment Of salaries for several months.
The same condition of affairs exists in
Cincinnati and other cities. In Cincin.
natl where 100000 was collected last
year, and nothing this year, it will take
500, 000to pay over due salaries. The
question that will now trouble munich
pal authorities is how to secure
immediate relief. This will be difficult
matter as the legislature is not in session.

Ir has just transpired that Sitting Bull
has in some mysterious way become m
important factor in American politics
1t seems TINT he and his combination
were recently ordered home rather un-
expectedly from their eastern starring
tour by Secretary Teller. The explana-
tion is offered that Father Stephan, who
ever he may be, is at the bottom of the
tribes return, as he expected to exhibit
them himself, and, not obtaining this
boon, secured from Secretary Teller an
order calling them homo, claiming if
they were not returned Wisconsin woald
go democratic. Under the circumstances
we think Secretary Teller acted very die.

from his campaign tour.

OMAHA is now one of the best paved
oities in this country. The streets and
alleys of the entire business center are
paved with Sioux Falls granite or sheet
asphalt, the two best pavements in the
world. Its of course admitted that
gtanite is the most durable pavement,
and the best adapted for heavy traffic
streets. On the other hand asphalt is
smooth and noiseless, and certainly
makes a beautiful pavement. When
well laid, as it has undoubtedly been IL
this city, it is quite..durable. While il
may wear out in places, it is so easil!
and cheaply repaired that many people
prefer it to granite. The Barber asphal
company is under contract to keep it II
repair for FIVE years, and offers to repair
II for ton, fifteen or twenty years at tel
cents yard per annum, which is mer
triHe. So far the aspha
payement has taken the create
portion Hof the heavy traffic,
teamsters prefer it, because it is so ea'
to haul heavy loads over it, and yet tn
pavement has shown little, if any, wei

MajOrities ........ IS 10
When the campaign commenced, tax
ing the vote of last year, the opposition
had a majority of $780, 1t dwindled
down to 20, and but for the treachery
of the Jasper Republicans to theiE own
candidate, Mr.. Weaver would have been
defeated. AS it is, his majority simply
represents fraud on the ballot,-votes
cast for him by men who were not legal
voters, and by men who were under age.
In Mahaska alone three townships show
a fraud of twelve votes, and close ex-
animation will develop not less than
thirty.
Ii will be notified that Tia Republi-
cans have a majority over the Demo
cracy on national ticket of thirty-eightl
"a change of eighteen hundred votes
in one yearl To this gross gain Ma
haska contributes a gain Of 736 while
Wapello comes next. The counties all
came up to the expectations Of the Com
mittee, except Jasper and Poweshiek,
the latter did quite well, but Jasper
covered a section of itself with some
thing like infamy. 1t murdered its
own candidate, and then murdered the
Judicial candidate because he came
from Mahaska, while Mahaska gave to
the Jasper candidate hearty, solid
support, his majority being greater
than that given the national ticket or
any local candidate. Whatever else
may be charged to Mahaska Republic
cans they always stand by the ticket,
and give it such support as may al
ways be counted on from men not
gangreened with jealousy.

in the North, during the war, 1875
per cent of the population was in the
army, or about one soldier to every
eight people. The total enlistments
we're 2.32O,272, for three years. OF this
vast number of men, a half million were
buried-and seventy-fiye per cent of
the balance came out of the service
with injured constitutions, and years
of life cut away. Their capacity to
maintain themselves in the usual ayo-
cations of life has been greatly crippled;
they cannot keep up in the sharp race
of life, with competition raging fierce
" in every avenue. Their sacrifices
were great, but we find a sentiment
abroad that it would be wrong for the
country TO reach out its hand to these
noble men and say: when the danger
was greatest you came with your life
in your hand, you bore the hardships
of the march, the siege and the camp:
you now suffer by reason Of such ex-
posure-therefore your country will
help you to bear the burdens that are on
you by giving you a pension out of its
boundless wealth" This is what the
country should say to all the men who
wore the blue, who are sufferers by
reason of the sacrifices made in the war
of the Rebellion. 1t should say it at
once, by the adoption of the Senate
amendments to the Mexican pension
bill, which would remedy the matter.
Pension every sick or disabled Union
soldier n)tc-for death claims them
altogether too rapidly
