The state teachers institute was
opened in Turner Hall on Monday
afternoon attwo O. clock with the best of
prospects for a successful session.
Over thirty of Brown county's teachers
were present and the attendance pro-
misses to reach fifty before the end OF
the week. Profs. j. Z. McClearY, OF
Mankato, and w. w. Pendergrast, OF
Hutchinson, are the conductors and thus
far seem highly satisfied with the re-
suits of their work. In the evening an
entertainment was given at the hall.
consisting in selections by the Concordla
band and in gymnastic exercises by the
pupils and members of the New Ulm
Turnverein. The boys are in good
training and did some clever work, and
were continually meeted with storms of
applause. State Superintendent OF
Schools Kiehle was present and ad-
dressed the teachers in a short talk that
was brim full of common sense and
solid advice. Last evening Dr.. L. B..
Sperry delivered his lecture on Long
evity and those who heard him have no
reason to regret the time spent. The
doctor is a happy combination of wit,
eloquence and pathos and blends them
all in his treatment of the subject. On
Thursday night the teachers will give
Scott Literary entertainment and ev-
erybody should attend. The institute
continues till Friday noon and anyone
interested will be pleased and instructed
by visit.

Will They Howl About This {?

One of the sensational developments in of
fetal circles at Washington the past week was
the unusually severe and uncalled for man
ner in which Secretary of Navy Tracy sat up
on the rule laid down by President Cleve-
lands administration that ex-soldiers and
sailors in the War and Navy Department
be given preference over any other applicants
for the same position, If the Republicans
have any genuine tears for the soldiers let
them prepare to shed them now. Words
could not picture the terrible fury of the Re-
publican press"if Democratic administra-
tion had so shamefully abused veteran.
Read part of his letter to a soldier who was
recently discharged from the bureau of yards
in the navy department: t@ @f
81 have your letter of the 10Th inst. con.
cerping your discharge from the position of
clerk in the bureau of yards and docks in the
Washington navy yard, in which Won state
your record as soldier and also that this rec.
ord was the sole cause of your appointment.
While the fact of person having good rec
ordas soldier will be considered among the
recommendations for retention in or appoint
ment to position under the Navy Depar
ment, ability to perform satisfactorily the du-
ties of the position which be holds or to which
he aspires must be a condition precedent to
favorable consideration of an application for
retention or appointment"

Taxation in Ohio.

The electors of Ohio will vote next fall up
on proposition to amend the state constitu-
tion so as to authorize the Legislature to levy
taxes in its discretion. The present provis.
ions of the constitution (articIe 12) with ref.
erence to taxation are these: ,, rss
SECTION l. The levying of taxes by the poll
is grevious and oppressive; therefore the gen
eral assembly shall never levy poll tax fol-
county or state purposes.
SEQ. 2. Laws shall be passed taxing by a
uniform rule all monies, credits, investment =
in bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, OF
otherwise; and also all real and personal
property according to its true value IN money;
but burying grounds, public school houses,
houses used exclusively for public worship,
institutions Of purely public charity, public
property used exclusively for any public pur-
pose and personal property to any amount
not exceeding in value 5000 for each individ-
ual may by general laws be exempted from
taxation, but all such laws shall be subject to
alteration or repeal, and the value of ali prop-
erty so exempted shall from time to time be
ascertained and published as may be directed
by law.
SEC. 3. The general assembly shall provide
by law for taxing the notes and bills dis
counted or purchased, monies loaned and all
scription without deduction) of all banks
now existing, or hereafter created, and of all
bankers, so that all property employed in
banking shall always bear burden of take
ton equal to that imposed on the property OF
individuals.
Sec. 4. The general assembly shall provide
for raising revenue sufficient to defray the
expenses of the state for each year and also a
sufficient sum to pay the interest on the state
debt IIfI
Sec. 5. No tax shall be levied except in pur.
suance of law; and every law imposing a tax
shall state distinctly the object of the same
to which only it shall be applied.
Sec. 6. The state shall never contract any
debt for purposes of internal improvement.
1t is proposed to amend by striking out Of
section the first two clauses ind inserting
1.-The general assembly shall provide for the
raising of revenue for hesupport of the state
and local governments; but burying grounds
public school houses" etc.
The effect of adopting the amendment says
the Plain Dealer would be TO give the legis.
lature authority to levy taxes by some other
than uniform rule. The ostensible purpose
is to tax franchises and liquor selling, but
with the constitutional limitations removed
there is no telling what might happen. The
record of the present legislature is enough to
destroy confidence IN future general assem-
blies. Great monied interests and large
property owners are already moving out oi
tbs state to escape burdens of taxation. The
passage Of such an amendment would hasten
the exodus. If the legislature thiks it would
be wise policy to tax franchises and the liq-
uor traffic let it put those questions plainly
to the people. 1t is not probable that the cit
izens of this state will give their legislature
carte blanche in the matter Of taxation until
the character eff that body averages higher
than now.

Jurors.

The Law relative to the selection of grand

of the Legislature and now stands as follows:
SECTION 5l67. The clerk Of the court shall,

ence of any other citizens who may choose to
attend, proceed to draw twenty seven ballots,
and such additional number of ballots, IL any,
not exceeding eight, as the judge of the COM
mon pleas in vacation or term time may di-
rect, but if any ballots so drawn shall bear
the name of person who at the time of such
drawing is known by the clerk to be deceased
or to have become n nonresident of the
county, every such ballot shall be destroyed
and the same shall not be counted, and the
clerk shall continue such drawing until he
shall have drawn the required number of bal
lots, exclusive of those destroyed as aforesaid,
the persons named on the first fifteen of
which shall be summoned as grand jurors,
and those named on the remainder shall be
summoned as petit jurors, and in case of
challenge, inability to serve or other cause,
it becomes necessary to fill the panel, the
whole of the number of persons so summon
ed as petit jurors shall be first exhaused be-
fore resorting to the other means to fill the
same; and the clerk shall forthwith issue
