eous impression that the coming spring elect
ion would be conducted under the above
clause. Il should be borne in mind that a
constitutional amendment is imperative un-
til the Legislature has passed enabling acts
and provided for the manner in which the
changes proposed by the amendments. shall
be made. Thepresent Legislature has passed
no laws relative to any of the amendments,
hence imperative as yet, and no action may

all the officials-except justices of the peace,
who serve for three years.

But Four Survivors.

On the six national tickets nominated by
the Democrats since the war eleven names
appear; one name, that of Hendricks, being
on two tickets.
OF these names, seven have been erased
from the roll by the hand of death and only
four are left.
In 1864 Mcclellan and Pendleton were on
the ticket. Mcclellan is dead and Pendleton
survives, being now minister to Germany.
In 1868 Seymour and Blair were the nomi-
nees. Both are dead.
OF the ticket of 1872, Greedy and Brown,
there is no survivor.
Tilden survives of the ticket of 1876, but
his colleague on the ticket, Thomas A. Hend.
ricks, has Joined the great majority.
Hancock and English were the nominees in
1880. English still lives, but Hancock has
just been consigned to soldiers grave.
Grover Cleveland is the survivor of the
ticket of 1884; his colleague Mr.. Hendricks,
dying few months ago.
Of the eleven, Tilden, Cleveland, Pendleton
and English are the only survivors. Of the
seven dead, five died since the election of
Grover Cleveland to the Presidency.

MTILLIAM MULLALLY, whose place Of resi-

first day of August, A. D., 1885, Henry Holterman,
as the County Treasurer of Henry county, Ohio,
filed his petition In the Court Of Common Pleas Of
Henry county, Ohio, in case No. 1853, against him
ct. al, setting forth therein, that the following
premises, to-wit Five t5} acres Of land lying and
being in the Southeast corner Of the East half Of
the Southwest quarter of section number fifteen
(15), in township number four ~, North Of range
eight (8) East in Henry county, Ohio stand charged
on the general tax duplicate of said county with The
sum of $1S5.04 as the aggregate of the amount Of
delinquent taxes and assessments unpaid and
chargeable against said premises; and that said
Henry Holterman, County Treasurer as aforesaid,
asks In the prayer of said petition that said premises
may be decreed to be sold to pay and satisfy said
delinquent taxes and assessments charged to and
against said premises on the general tax duplicate
OF said county.

answer said petition on or before the nth day Of

cag- A correspondent of the Wood County

ew A correspondent of the Wood County
Sentinel writing from Borton, Fla, says:
''There is land yet to sell in the State for
$3.50 Der acre. There is also government
lands, but to find it you will have to pay some
agent 25c. per acre, otherwise they will tell
YOU the government land is all taken. Who
wants to come to Florida2 A great many
people think this the place to get rich in
worldly affairs. In the first place it would be
almost an impossibility for q man to support
himself and family on a whole section of land
in this State. Then you will say how does he
live without an income from other sources?
He does not live, they only stay, and that is
done by fishing, hunting, added to what sweet
potatoes they produce, they manage to live.
Birds of any kind they kill to eat. Seconda--
ry, there are great many who get rich, and
how is it done. They get land at $l.2b per
acre and plat out town and sell lots to the
Yankees at high price, Others. plant small
grove of oranges and then catch some Yank
for 81, 900 per acre, or some inflated price;
others keep boarders from $5to $35 per week.
Then you will say how do they keep boarders
If they raise nothing in the State? The fact
is the supply comes from the North; without
this importation Of northern beef, cereals,
butter and general produce, there would be
no hotels Ponce de Leon. There is not much
real estate being sold this winter, the high
price has turned the tide to other parts, and
the paper towns are about played out as far
as catching the Yankees are concerned.

The Sign of the Dollar.

"What is the origin of the sign '$' for
the American dollar?" was the question
propounded at London dinner not
long ago. The American consul did not
know: neither did any one else. An ex-
tensive search resulted in this theory:
The American dollar is taken from the
Spanish dollar. On the reverse side
Of the Spanish dollar is representation
of the pillars of Hercules, and round
each pillar scroll, with the inscription
"Plusultra." This devise, in the course
of time, has degenerated into the sign
which stands at present for American as
we'll as Spanish dollars-S. The Scroll
round the pillars represent the two ser
pents sent by Juno to destroy Hercules
In his Christian Union.

sg" An Ohio wheat grower who several
years ago allowed his flock of sheep to Craze
upon part of a field of winter wheat which
had been SO badly frozen in the spring that
it was thought to be ruined, was much sur
prised upon harvesting and threshing his
crop that the portions cropped close to the
grounds by the sheep yielded at the rate of
several more bushels than that portion upon
which they were not permitted to run. Since
then he has practiced pasturing his wheat
fields until after the middle of April each
year, and has succeeded in raising on an av-
erage from twenty-five to thirty bushels per
acre. The fields are often fed SO close that it
seems at distance as though there was no
herbage upon the ground. We give the above
for what it is worth, and if any of our readers
try it and loose their crop we don't want the
NORTHWEST to be blamed, for like Horace
Greely we are simply telling "what we don't
know about farming"

~ Wind Pudding, who has been con-
Quoting smut machine for the past year,
disgracing journalism, evinced much sympa-
thy for Bro. Fouke, even shedding crockadile
tears over the assumed way the NORTHWEST
had treated him. Now let US see who has
really treated him mean. As for ourselves
we have had some little political bouts with
Bro Fouke, but always on friendly terms
with him and he with us, exchanging office
courtesies when needed. Now how has Wind
Pudding, the fellow with the checkered rec
ord, treated him. He bought his Office and
gave in pay worthless 80 acre tract of land,
putting it in at figures double what it was
actually worth, even if good title could
have been given, and then refused to give Mr..
F. employment when he applied for it, as he
did not want the old granny arouud, he be-
ing more in the way than good he would do.

~ Some of the Republican press through
ignorance or malice speak of Hancock as a

vey the impression that there we're other
Democratic generals. They either do moi

McClellan, McClernand, Butler, Pope, Logan
Thomas, Meade, Sheridan, Wood, Ewing
Sigel, Mcdowell, Rosecrans, Slocum, Frank

leading generals, were Democrats when the
war broke out. 1t is proper to say, though
that the Republican editors who seek to mis-.
lead as above indicated are of those who now
boast of their alleged ''loyalty" and trade
upon it.-Dayton Democrat.

W With almost monotonous regularity
during the past two months the editorial col
umns of the Republican press of the State
have been embellished with a fantastic cut.
said to be fac simile of the "doctored" re-
turns from precinct A, of the Fourth Ward,
Cincinnati, and intended to to represent the
bungling manner in which the figures "s726''
had been changed to 1926" Much white pa
per has been wasted and vast volumes of val
uable indignation expended in denouncing
the fraudulent Democracy" These illus
trations have suddenly disappeared, and not
Republican editor can be found in the State
who cares to admit having used them. The
precipitancy of this change of tactics can
probably be explained by the fact that few
days since one G. H. Cole, Republican clerk
of the election board in that precinct, testi-
fed before an investigating committee in
Cincinnati that the figures on the tally sheet
were made by him; that the total vote cast
was 1926, and he had so recorded it. Every
Republican editor in the State is doubtless
firmly convinced that the ranks of the con-
demned idiots in Ohio have been increased
by one at least, and without exertion he can
place his finger on the man.-Bucyus Fo-
