SINCE Mississippi has adopted limited
suffrage laws, the State seems to be in
imminent danger of going dry. Uuder
the law saloon men must secure a ma
Jority of the registered voters, and in
many cases this they are unable to do
and in consequence several towns and
counties have gone dry. Shutting out
the ignorant and vicious classes from the
right of the ballot seems to have been
just so many saloon votes cut off.

Philosophy of GrumbIing.

"You may call us confirmed grum-
blers," said regular John Bull sort Of
Britisher the other day, but l tell you
our grumblng pays. When things go
wrong with you Americans, you make
fun of it and laugh at it and endure it.
When things go wrong with us, we keep
on grumbling until they are set straight.
If you grumbled more and joked less,
you would be bit better off. > New

The most painful cases of rheumatism
may be relieved by few applications of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm; its continued

long standing. 1t is equally beneficial
for lame back, pain in the side, pain in

affections requiring an external remedy.

the President and his Cabinet are nc
more faithful to the sacred cause OF
civil service reform than the rest of the

THERE will be no apathy in Ohio this
fall, if the present indications count for
anything. Already Republicans are
buckling on their armor for an aggressive
fight, and with firm determination not
only to win, but to win by big majority.
Governor Mckinley proposes to make a
speech in every county of the State, and
as political speech maker the Governor
has no superior. The Democrats have
as yet found no candidate, but whoever
is put up will have hard shedding and
stony roads when he runs against Nc
Kinley. AS a vote getter we have never
had anybody in Ohio equal to Mckinley,
and little Mac will make the effort of
his life.

THE LATE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The Seventieth General Assembly.
which adjourned at noon on Thursday,
on the whole has made record that will
compare favorably with the record of
predecessors. There have been mistakes
both of omission and of commission, but
every law making body is guilty of
some errors. Some laws have been
passed which should have been left off
the statute books, but the measures
which will prove meritorious far out
weigh the bad. 1t is a record to which
Republicans can point with satisfaction,
confident that as whole the work will
merit the approval of the people.
The problem of taxation was lead
ing question, and in spite of the dis
couraging outlook and the remembrance
of former taxation measures which have
been wrecked by the inequitable provis-
ions of the Constitution, bill was
framed and passed which the ablest
lawyers of the State believe will success
fully come within the constitutional
limits on the subject. This bill will in
crease our revenues more than million
dollars and is only forerunner of what
will come when the people become fully
alive on the subject and vote to remove
the barriers imposed on taxation by our
organic law. Whether this law stands
or falls it is measure which the Re-
publican party may well feel proud.
The Republican party is in favor of all
property paying its just proportion of
taxation, and the Nichols bill alone is
sufficient to commend the work of the
General Assembly to the people.
