Constitutional Amendments,

We again call attention to the pro-
posed Amendments to the Constitu-
tion. By the Taxation amendment 1t
is proposed to give the State the right
to tax the franchises and priviledges of
telephone, telegraph, electric and 9TH
er companies and individuals, the val
ue of whose property is doubled by
reason Of their privileges, but the
tangible part Of which can now alone
be taxed. This is manifestly just to
the other taxpayers Of Ohio.
The other amendment is for leglsla-
tive single district. Both Amend
ments ought to DO adopted. The tal-
lots will be printed separately from the
general ticket, and placed In a separate
ballot box when voted. The voter will
make an x In the ruled square oppo-
site "Yes," or mo, ,"As he may choose.
We recommend him to vote "Yes" on
both amendments.

Pneumatic shoes are late invention.
The soles are furnished with four cushions
of inflated rubber. They prevent the least
shock In walking over hard roads and
walks. 1t Is strange that some genius
doesn't invent an inflated pavement for
roads. The idea is not new one. Several
years ago, when Bill Nye was thrown from
his horse one day and alighted upon hard
pavement with painful results, he suggest
ed that il 1t wouldn't cost any more It
would be a great improvement to upholster
roads instead Of paving them. Heretofore
1t has always been the road taxes that have
been inflated Now let somebody make
himself notorious by initiating the roads.- -

OHIO Democratic Platform.

We hereby approve the platform OF
the Democratic party adopted by its ma
tional convention at Chicago and especially
those portions OF it, referring to the tariff
and to currency legislation. We congratu
late the country upon the early prospect o.
measures Of relief as outlined by the presi'
dents late message to congress, and we
have confidence that the Democratic con
e1Sss will devise laws TO furnish such re
lief.
The financial situation is the unfortupatt
legacy of the Republican administration
1t Is the natural result Of the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava
gance of the Republican party recently In
power and the creation and fostering oi
trusts and corrupt combinations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, tt
create distress in the money of the country
and to paralyze its business
We recommend that national banks may
be permitted to issue their currency to an
amount equal to the par value Of United
States bonds. which they may deposit with
the treasurer of the United States, to the
end that the volume of currency may be
Immediately increased.
The interest Of every true soldier anc
pensioner demands that the pension rolls
should be made and preserved as a roll Of
honor. We believe in Just and liberia.
recognition of the claims Of the veterani
and favor granting them all that patri
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand, But the granting of pen
sions of fraudulent claims, or for partisan
purposes, or department decisions in con.
travention of law, as practiced under tht
last administration, needs to be investigat
ed and corrected so that the unselfsh valol
of the American soldier may remain un
tarnished
The Democratic party pledges itself that
the rightful claims of no Union soldier to q
pension shall be denied, and the allowance
of any worthy pensioner shall not be dis
turbed.
We condemn the unbusinesslike admin.
istration of state affairs under Governor
Mckinley, deplore the official scandals and
defalcations under it, and denounce the
condoning of official crimes which have
brought humiliation upon our people. We
denounce the reckless extravaganza Of the
large Republican majority In the roth gen
eral assembly which appropriated for cur.
rent expenses about S600,000 in excess oi
the current revenue, and added almost $780,.
900, 900 to the local bonded indebtedness Of
the state, by laws in the main unconstitu,
tional. We demand that an end be put tc
such robbery Of the taxpayers.
The Democratic party expresses its conf
dence in the ability of Hon. Calvin S. Brice
of the United States senate to materially
assist the Democratic majority in the CON
gress Of the United States to extricate the
great commercial interests of this country
from their present distressed condition.
The country has abiding faith in the in
tegrity, the patriotism and exalted courage
of President Cleveland True to the peo
pie and wstchful of their interests, he will
enforce honest and economical methods in
the conduct Of public affairs, and secure f
every section Of the country the blessing oi
good government.

What Shakespeare Might Have Said.
To take or not to take that is the question.
Whether tits better for man TO suffer
The pangs and tornement of Indigestion,


Whether tits better for man TO suffer
The pangs and tornement of indigestion,
Or something take, and, In its takeihg, end
them. ,|
Shakespeare didn't say that, but very
likely he would have said something
similar, If he were living in this 10th
century, when SO many suffer untold
agonies from indigestion. Of course
he would have gone on to say that a
man must be fool not to take the
something" which would put an end
to the "pangs and tornements' spoken
of, if he could get 1t. Now it is fact
that weakened, impoverished blood
brings on indigestion, which is the
cause of dyspepsia, constipation--a
poisoned condition ofthe whole system
land 1t Is a fact, also. that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will SO puri-
fy the blood and enrich it that all the
weakened organs are revitalized and
strengthened. II is guaranteed to do
this. If 1t doesn't, your money will be
returned to you.

THE Cincinnati Tribune, a staunch
Republican paper, sounds the note Of
warning to the Republicans Of Ohio by
pointing to the result In 1892, and says
Republican newspapers permit their
news gatherers to bclittle all Demo-
cratic meetings and magnify all Re-
publican gatherings. 1t was similar
policy in Ohio last year which made
our meager victory almost equal to de-
feat in its political effect"
The Tribune certainly is aware that
the Republican party is made up Of
brag and bluster and wind. It's vo-
taries always make most noise where
they feel least hope OF success. It's q
grounding case for Mckinley this fall
and his healers must do sight OF
whistling to keep up their courage.
Ifeyery Democrat does his duty this
fall Mckinley and McKinleyism will
be burned under such an avalanche Of
votes that its resurrection will be Inn
possible.

CHOkED and ROBBED.
Two Negroes Assault Mr.. IIOlcomb in
Ills Place of Business.

Mr.. w. 7. Holcomb, who keeps
meat market on Ross avenue, be
tween Ninth and Tenth streets,
was this morning thrown down,
checked and robbed by two negroes.
Mr.. Holcomb opened up his shop
shortly after O'Clock this morning
and was sweeping out, when two
negroes entered.
"Good morning." they said.
"Good morning." returned Mr..
Holcomb, turning around so as to
face them. -
AS he did 80 they sprang upon
him, and the fingers of one fastened
themselves about Mr.. Holcomb's
throat.
To bear him to the floor was the
work of but moment, the sudden.
ness of the attack, and the tighten.
ed grasp of the choking fingers
prevented his making any cutlery.
When they got him down one of
the robbers sat astride Of Mr.. Hol.
comb, choking him, while the other
ritled his pockets. Taking what
money was found upon his person,
some $l2, the two miscreants re.
leased their victim and quicklySiis-
appeared in the darkness.
The alarm was quickly given, but
the robbers left no trail, and there
was nothing to be done.
Mr.. Holcomb was hurt somewhat
by the fall, his head and hip strik.
ing the floor pretty hard, but no
serious damage was done him. He
did not recognize either of the rob-
bers, though he thinks he could
identify one of them, should he see
him again.
