Next Tuesday (lie people of litis stale will bo called upon lo decide by ballot as to whether the Rnlnrios of the Statu ofticors .shall. lo raised; j as to whether the tinio of holding the i stale election shall he changed so as lo I come on the tiny of the presidential j election; and whether the nale of in- j toxirntitig liipiors shall he prohibited ' in this state. The first two proposed i amendments are of no vital import- 1 nnce, and no principle affecting the moral or political welfare of the gov- I eminent, is involved. They arc I (iinplv questions of economy, and wo are of (lie opinion that both of them should pass. It is better lo pay our olllcers a fiihiry sufficient to remuner ate for the work performed, and liberal enough to induce men of ability lo nccopt. the positions. Changing the time of holding the election will save Ihe expense of one campaign every four years. The principal argument ngains it is (hat. by mixing state and national issues at one lection, fraud wouh't he more liable to be practiced ' to the detriment of the public welfare. This, however, is assuming that the I average voter hasn't got sense enough j to unow wlint lie wants, which, if Into, is a sorry travesty upon our citizenship at lurtre. The prohibition question is an important otic, and in volves principles upon which the very foundation of the government U phased. While the liquor traffic is a most gigantic curse, many honest temperance people are undecided as to the best method of denting with it, If if were known positively what the result of prohibition would he, it might bo dilliereut with many of them, hut Ihe way the matter now stands it well may puzzle the most thoughtful. AVo offer no advice at ibis time, but trust that cvety man will carefully study the subject and vote as his best judgment directs, and, whether the result be good, or disastrous, his con science need not trouble him.

"Washington, Oct. 1887 To the editor of the Oki:on Scout. The Federal Capital is pre-eminently the city of conventions and great public meetings that bring logothcr people from all parts or the greatest nation of the globe. Last week the city had the Latindrvincn's National! r, . .i iuuvoiiiion , aim ims wcck tncre arc two infeession at the same time the Carriage Uuildors National Associa tion and the National Agricultural Convention. As the latter is the only one of special interest to your readers, I will not enter into the details of the first two. The Agricultural Convention is called by virtue of an act of the Forty niuth Congress, and its membership consists of the representatives of all the Agricultural college ami experi mental stations in the United .States, the purpose of the meeting being to devise ways and means to improve the methods of farming and thus increase the fertility and productiveness of the agricultural area cf the country. And it goes without saying that the dis cussion of these questions by such a j representative and intelligent body j the imitual interchange of views and experiences will ho vastly benellcial to the farmers, veritably the bodv aud sinew of the laud arduous labois depend prosperity anil well country. ' There is considerable gossip iu the political circles of the Capital about the charges of bribery and political treachery brought against Senator Mcl'horson, of New .Jersey. 1ST ow is the winter of our discontent, made glorious by the r S Lad V fil Km &?. 5375. r?303 ri F5 m rtbv Ksnra ra m ppa mi no s. if 1111 1 Rf IK 1 I Wlf ft i HIM 1 lllil i i &m 1 il !

On the eleventh day of this mouth iu the 'rreat city of Chicago is to "take place Ihe execution of seven men, condemned to pay the just penalty or their crimes by hai'jiin until dead. These men, if men they may he called, are victims of early vicious twining. Born iu the old country: bred up in superstition mid ignorance witn all the vicious influence which surround the low ntwtii of society from which they sprung, inculcated and steeped deep Into their very souls, they come to America, the "hind of the free aud the home of the brave," bringing with theiu their damnable idem of Anarchism, MirialiMii and communism to breathe it out upon American shores aud among American iuoiic. i ucy are men witoe sense ofjuRticejsadver.se to the principles of American freedom. Their souls revolt against anything which U high and noble iu its aim. Morality is as a JoatlisMtte pestilence to lliem, and iu the slime aud tilth of their blighting and daugeroua ideas, hesitalo not to redden their hands with the blood of their fellow. Thee neven men wo expect will die on the eleventh of t hi month, u;i lew the pardoning power should stretch out iu hand aud commute thuir sentence- to imprisonment for life. Already has the Hat gone forth from out the secret assemblies of their sym pathizing follower-), (hat if these men are hung the blazing lire brand shall go forth on its terrible mission and Chicago shall n laid low iu ashes and blackened dust. It is not likely they will catch tho Chicago authorities napping, hut they need to ho closely watched. How fur lliu.o breeders of discord, of Anarchism and open dull-mice- to the law will be suffered by the people of (his grout nation, is ii question that must tiwmio a tangible shape before long, or lite time may come when thu Ic-on learned bv procrastination will have been dearly bought.

One of the most damaging alle gations is that hut for the action of the Senator in compassing by bribery tho election of Sewell,his republican collcauguo, the United States senate would have been democratic several vears ago. The gauntlet is boldly thrown down and the Senator chal lenged lo a legitl contest.
