THERE will be another opportunity
this fall for the people of Ohio to vote
to remove from our constitution the
barriers against the taxation of all kinds
of property, and it is not too early to call
attention to the matter. The question
of the success of this amendment is not
a party question, but is in the interest
of the people who now pay heavy rate
of taxation, as against the corporate in
terests which almost wholly escape tax
alton. The men who framed the con-
stitution evidently were not able to look
into the future or they would not have
imposed restrictions, which became a
burden in the same generation, and sc
continue All classes of property should
bear like proportion of taxation, and
that the constitutional barriers against
equable taxation may be torn down is
the object of the amendment.

roasts at Temperance Meetings.

Is there not something perverse and
contrary to nature about having toasts
at temperance banquets and drinking
them in water out of goblets? Water is
unquestionably the best drink in the
world. but not for toasts. 1t is right
and proper that our temperance friends
should eat together and that their souls
should flow, but they ought to get up a
new apparatus for the exploitation OF
their after dinner remarks. The livery
of Silenus is not adapted to the service
of Lady Henry Somerset and Miss Fran
ces Willard. Twist or turn as you will,
it does not fit.-Harper's Weekly.

THERE has been considerable dis
cussion as to whether the United States
should be spoken of as plural or singu-
lar. In favor of the former decision
rendered by Justice Field is quoted.
But incidentally it will be remembered
that several States once held that United
States was plural and they got out.
Quite number of other States thought
it singular, and to enforce their idea
licked the other States, thus proving that
what some States thought was plural
was in fact singular. This ought to
settle the question.

OHIO DEMOCRACY.

New York Press.
The growing Democratic uneasiness
over the prospect that the Republicans
of Ohio will renominate Governor Nc
Kinley next month is a tribute to Re-
publican principles as well as to an ideal
executive Governor. William Mckinley
stands for the vital principles for which
the Republican party contends, and his
reelection would mean that one of the
foremost States of the Union repudiates
the vacillating financial tinkering. pen

If our law-making bodies. maintain
the character they are falling into the
referendum system will be the only
remedy the people will have against
unjust and inequitable laws. By this
system laws proposed by the Legislative
body are referred to the people for ac.
ceptance or rejection, or, in another way
we would vote on statutory law the same
as on organic law. The system might
be somewhat cumbersome, but it would
certainly possess merit among intelligent
people.

There is a movement on foot to retain
the present tin-plate duty in the new
tariff bill to be PASSED by the next Con-
gress. A number of the stockholders
in the tin-plate plants have received
assurances from Democratic senators
and representatives that they will vote
favorable to such a proposition, the
argument being that to place tin-plate
on the free list would cause the shutting
down of every plate mill in the country.
The industry is growing, thanks to a
Republican Congress, and even Demo
cratic Congressman hesitate to wipe out
an industry employing millions OF
money at the behest of party expediency.
The retention of the in-plate duty would
be another triumph of Republican prin-
ciples, and rob the Democracy of the
great hue and cry that they so assidu-
ously cultivated in the late campaign.

lays down some rules for the President

not to listen to single applicant or to
word from public man in behalf of
any office seeker unless he invites the
conference. Every application should
be made in writing. But no
one no matter what may be his position
or influence, should be permitted to in
trude upon him. The present condition
of things is not only undignified, it is
disgraceful." Yet that paper supported
him on civil service grounds.
