The Republican papers of Ohio are
making a vigorous effort to create the
impression among the ignorant and
illiterate that what is known as the
"liquor element" will not support the
Democratic ticket this year. on account
of the failure of the legislature to re-
peal the Scott law, and the failure OF
the Supreme Court TO declare the law
unconstitutional. We see no reason
why such should be the case. There
was nothing in the Democratic plat
form of last year pledging the party
to the repeal of the Scott law, and nc
Democrat was authorized to speak fol
the partyin making any such promise
The Supreme Court decided every
question brought before it, and had
no right to go farther and say whether
the law is or is not constitutional
Liquor men who understand the stu.
alton have no fault to find.

We see it stated thai the Saloon
Keepers Association in Cincinnati
and other places in this State, have de-
termined not to pay the liquor tax
under the Scott law, and are advising
all branch associations to refuse the
payment of these taxes. We advise
them to remember tho old adagc that
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" This action smacks
strongly of rebellion, and such action
is calculated to arouse the public wrath
to such a pitch rs to wipe their traffic
out of existence with the speed Of a
whirl-wind. Our advice to all saloon
keepers would be to pay the tax under
protest, and if the law should be pro-
nounced unconstitutional, they then
would probably get their money back.
While the Scott law standa on the
statute books as q law, it should be
! strictly lived up to-.

The Chicago Tribune is now one
CT the most enthusiastic of the Blaine
organs. Here is what the Tribune
said when Blaine's name was before
the National Convention four years
ago:
If MI. Blaine be nominated there
will begin the long, tedious and heart
sickening work of explaining and de-
Tending that score of letters several
of which have not yet cen the light,
and defending a long record of votes
for subsidies to monopolies and
questionable legislation of other
kinds. If, before that campaign be
ended the people shall weary of the
disgusting repetition, and ut the
October elections in Ohio and Indi-
ana shall resent such a nomination
and such aerecord, and in November
shall elect q Democratic President
and a Democratic Senate and House,
and deliver to the same party the con-
troll and three months of the States
governments, we insist that no Re-
publican shall hold this paper re-
sponsible for the folly which invited
such a disaster by the nomination Of
such a candidate.
The ITi6une's record is almost as
burdcnsome as that of its candidate

The N. Y. Times, the leading Re
publican paper of the United States
says: just now the voters have a
question to settle which is of very
much greater Importance than the
tariff question. 1t is q question that
concerns the honor of the Nation and
its safety. The supreme sand sole
issue this year is whether or not the
next President of the United States
shall be a man honest himself and in
favor of honest government.

1t is an awful mean thing for
Democrats to remove Republicans
out of fat public offices, but it is all
o. K. for Republicans to turn out
Democrats! Oh, yes. Sweet, isn't
it? All! Amt we Republicans an
honest set OF consistent and liberal
cusses? Who walked the plank to
give the pink of perfection, the dear
meek AID mild-eyed Major Shaw, the
position he holds at the o. S. and S.
o. Home at Xenia? Not. a Republi-
can, but a Democrat, who filed the
place well. We have q great deal of
respect for Major Shaw; he makes a
most excellent and efficient Superin-
tendent for the Home, and between
him and any other Republican We
know, we would give him the prefer
ence, but still we believe there are
Democrats who can fill the place just
as well as Mr.. Shaw. We are not
quite educated up to the point Of
some of his admirers around here, to
believe that he is the only living per
son that can run the institution sue
cessfully, and that when he dies il
must go to decay for the want of O
suitable Superintendent! Let Major
Shaw and his friends take the same
medicine administered to his prede.
cessor, snd take it too, without
whining over it like whipped span
iels. To the "victors belong The
spoils," is as just and sensible wher
carried out by Democrats as Repub
licans, and it is very thin business
for either party to whine oyer its ap
plication.

New York Times: 1t is evident
that q feeling has been aroused in the
Republican party by the action ofthe
Chicago Convention which cannot be
allayed by appeals to party loyalty,
because loyalty to the party in the
highest sense demands a reputation
of that action. This movement will
furnish a measure of the loyalty to
principle which still remains in the
party.

Governor Cleveland appears to be
acceptable to the Independent Re-
publicans in New York and New
England. This being the case, his
nomination would seem to be the
most judicious the Democracy could
make. With a good Western man on

sweep the country in spite of all the
corrupt appliances that Blaine under.
stands so well and would use so un-
scrupulously.

The following resolution was
adopted amid the greatest enthusi
asm at the Democratic convention at
Columbus last Wednesday:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this convention that Samuel j. Til
den, who was once legally and fairly
elected President ofthe United States
but defrauded of his Office, should
receive a unanimous nomination at
the hands of the Democratic conven
ton which meets in Chicago July s,
next.
That is the sentiment of every hon.
est and true Democrat in the coun-
try, north or south.

d A few days before the Chicago
convention assembled, Mr.. j. B. Nc
Culloch editor Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, the leading Republican
paper of the West, said the following
regarding the Republican candidate
for President: "My objection to
Blaine is that his nomination would
convert every Republican editor and
speaker into an attorney for the de.
tense in a case of grand larceny, and
the witnesses for the prosecution
will all be taken from our own side"

The Republican platform recog
nizes in Arthur's administration, ga
wise, conservative and patriotic

under Garfield, u policy that threat
ems to disturb our peaceful relations
with foreign powers.

In nominating John R. Mclean of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, as a dele
gate at Large, John NJ. Daugherty,
Esq, of Hardin county, said:
"The Democracy of Ohio in the

representatives of sterling character
and unquestioned Democracy. Such
a mar is found in John r. Mclean
a man who has demonstrated his al
legiance to the Democratic party, and
who is recognized as the true type of

of every voter who supported him in

To Measure the Height Of a Tree.

There is very simple way Of
measuring the height of 8 tree which
can be practiced by any one on a
sunny day, or in bright moonlight.
All the apparatus thatls necessary
is a straight stick of any length.
Draw circle with radius (half the
diameter) of little less than the
length. Of the stick. This win be
done by holding one end of the stick,
say two inches from its end, and
moving the other end around, maxi
ing the circle with a knife or chip.
Then place the stick in the ground
exactly in the center of the circle,
perfectly upright, and press it down
until the height Of the stick is exact
iy The same as the radius of the cir
Gle. When the end Of the shadow of
the stick exactly touches the circle,
then also the shadow of the tree will
be exactly in length the same meas
urement as its height. OF course, in
such case, the sun will be at an ex-
act angle of As Measurement of
this character can be best effected in
the summer. when the sun is powerful
and has reached to good height in
the heavens, and when the trees are
clothed with living green so as to
cast dense shadow. To many, to
whom this idea may not have occur
red. 1t might. be made annually q
matter of interest thus on warm sum-
mer days TO take the height ofpromi-
nent trees, and so to compare growth
from year to year. Pacific Rural
