SATURDAY,
JUNE 30, 1883.
The Contest in Ofcio.
The olection in the Sjate of Ohio, es
pecially in the year preceding the pres
idential election, ia a matter of great in
terest to ,thj country at large, for the
reason that the result of the latter con
test depend in a great degree upon the
expressed opinion of that great Sjtate.
The ' present contest therefore ia
watched by the statesman of the coun-j
try with more than ordinary anxiety.
The Republican convention was divided
on the subject of the liquor traffic, and
hat part of their platform was so
framed jthait it displeased the prohibi
tionist while i gained no yotes from
the conservative members. Jn order
o divert attention from this vexatious
question the convention declared for a
is
protection tariff. There aro no Con
gressmen to be elected from Ohio tliis
yeaf1aiVfhequclOttras ih abstract
one, but the leaders hoped by its dis,7
pussion jtp distract attention from the
Jiquor question and to unite the party
under the old wi.r cry. The same pol
icy dictated the nomination of Mr.
Foraker for governor, a young man of
ability but who had no public record to
explain. The action of the Democratic
convention which met last week at Col
umbus was in striking contrast with
$ho wavering policy of their opponent!?
On the liquor question, which at this
election is the absorbing one, it de
clarcd agaiust sumptuary legislation m
pvery form, in favor of Jthe largest lib.
orty of private conduct consistent with
hs public welfare and th,e rights of
pthcrs and of regulating the liquor
Jaffic and providing against the evils
resulting therefrom by a judicious and
properly , graded license system. On
he question of the tariff it was equally
put spoken and emphatic. It declared
hat all taxes collected beyond what
is necessary to carry on the govern
ment was robbery of the people, and
.hat the tariff should be for revenue
onry. The candidate for governor is
JuuEre Ueo. 11. Iloftuier. a sound
statesman, a brilliant orator and of
unimpeachable character.
The success of the Democratic ticket
s no longer a matter of .controversy.
It is already coneeded by the Republi
cans who strive to parry the weight of
the blow by declaring that it will have
no effect whatever upon the presiden
tial election. Let them lay the flatter
jag unction to their souls. The next
President of the United States will as
pertainly be a Democrat and will be
pht next governor of Ohio.
"5 with the piineral
The Mercury's informant in last
week's issue under the above caption
was wrong in stating that " One lady
who was compelled to do sewing in or
der to make her living was incarcer
ated in the city jail because of her fail
ure to pay the sum stated."
The facts are that an ordinance had
Josg b,een in force in the city of Rose,
burg requiring a license of tea dollars
for dressmaking and also a license of
ten dollars for carrying on the business
of milliner. The lady in question was
engaged in the business of dressmaking
pnly, and in order to test the validity
of a tax upon her labor refused to pay
the license fee. A complaint was made
by the Marshal and a warrant issued
fyr her arrest by the Recorder.
The matter was compromised by the
Jady paying the license fee under the
promise from the City Trustees that they
would refund it at their next regular
meeting, which they accordingly did
and rr pealed that part of the ordinance
relating to dressmaking, where no
goods aro sold as merchandise. The
statement of the Mercury's informant
that the lady was incarcerated in the
jcity jail, is without any foundation.
Pt the City Trustees retained the part
pi the ordinance referring to milliners
and exact the license of young ladies
engaged in that business, when every
mercantile house in the city are engaged
selling millinery goods without pay
ing tbis special tar. The city fathers
are truly to be pitied for the magna
nimity they have shown in this matter,
n taxing these young ladies for their
Ijoedle-work.
Tariff for Revenue Only.
Notwithstanding the desire of the
Republican leaders to escape the issue,
they saay as well make their minds up
9 the fact that the next Democratic
national platform will have one sound
plank in it, a tariff for revenue n
r7iT7ause it is right and the great
party of jthe people cannot afford to do
ptherwise. In all the State platforms
where be -Democracy made the most
unprecedented gains," in Jast October
and November elections, there was an
'emphatic declaration that they favored
0, tariff for revenue only
The Republican leaders may as well
make their minds up to the fact that
they will be forced to meet the issue,
and it will not be 9. mere local question,
c$s V".
THE HOODLUM.
Seme weeks since we perpetrated,
through our columns a definitia of
" hoodlum," and to out utter conster
nation man persons, eapeciallj among
the young and rising generation, took
the matter home to themselves. Many
have been the importunities to know
exactly who was intended by the al
lele. As it was but a sample defini
tion of a class of beiDgs we are unable
to point out any one in particular.
Since the term "heedlum" is under
stood by many persons as-being appli
cable only to the young, we take this
present'opportunity to state that this
a great mistake. Children fresh
roni the hand of nature, have none f
he "hoodlum" in their . composition.

will Btnte that last Fall that myself and mem-
bers of my family were Buffering with ca.
tarrh in the head and myself with an affec-
tion of the stomach. That I purchased a
galon of the mineral water taken from the
spring on the bouth Umpqna, 3 miles west
of Roseburg, of ,G. M. Jones, Dr. Hamilton
agent, and can testify that both myself and
family have received great benefits from its
use. My son Andrew "VVillia was suffering
very much from nasal catarrh and by the
use of this water has entirely recovered and
is now well. I can unhesitatingly recom
mend it as the- best medicine I have used in
my family for any of the above named com
plaints. Rev. W. A. Willis.
