with the person addressed and tne young heir is intimated Considerable money is allejftd to have been secreted by the during his flight with the Carlist army and secrecy is enjoined on account of the sanctity of the priestly character and the Spanish Govern ment which is on the alert for the secreted fortune The correspondence genarally ends with a request for money to send the child to its

continu ance of his traffic by the contribution it exacts toward the diminution of general taxation and by the general interest it thus creates against prohibition or the destruc tion of the trade A community to whose expenses this traffic largely contributes and whose taxes it diminishes will not be i inimical to its continuance upon economic 1 or financial grounds at least I do not be lieve this Jaw ought to be but that the graduation of its taxation and the withdrawal of the power of municipal prohibition would convert it into as just and efficient a license law as is consistent with constitutional inhibition without at all withdrawing the force of any of the reasoning upon which the majority of the Supreme Court maintained its constitution ility Nineteen years have elapsed since the dose of the civil war dismissed from arms and relegated to the ways and works of peaje more 8 than a million combatants Tine has effaced most of the visible rav ages of war and nearly if not quite a'i 'he animosities engendered by the conflict urvive if at all as mere political agenciesnisehevious as far as they are active butonatantly losing force Even the vast lebt will probably be paid during this gen eration and with its payment the burdens of federal taxation may be so diminished as to afford an opportunity for commercial freedom' an opportunity such as theountry has not enjoyed since the adminis cration of Andrew Jackson The great monument of victory the en during assurance that the blood was not pilled the treasure not spent in vain ishe restoration of the Union upon the basis of the abolition of slavery and the enfran hisement of the slave Color has takents place in law and with reference to legal sights under the American system by the side of inherited wealth place of birth and other fortuitous circumstances of life is having no effect in determining condi ion That is left to conduct the result of iharacter and white and black are both in ured equal rights and equal opportunity in the presence of the law The habits and usages and prejudices of slavery will doubt ess long survive but the day will surely God grant it may be soon when even without legal intervention no citizen in any State will be treated as an inferior or denied the full equal measure of equal rights accorded to others merely because he chanced to inherit a black skin These prejudices which exist as fully at the North as at the the South may here after give rise (I do not have done so yet) to the necessity to amend A the criminal laws of our State No legislation is needed to establish the principle of the absolute equality of rights between black and white or to furnish civil actions for redress of invasions These are 1 accom plished by the ederal constitution and the common law as it prevails in Ohio But a portion of the civil rights legislation of Congress has been recently declared uncon stitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States and inasmuch as the duty of protection against inequality and dis crimination on account of color is thus de volved upon the States it may become necessary for Ohio to act This decision licenses no act of wrong or oppression It merely transfers the theater of redress from the ederal to more numerous and acces sible State Legislatures and Courts The war was rightly waged to vanquish the armed assertion of superior sovereignity of the States made in defiance of the express provision that con stitution and the laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law of the land any thing in the constitution or law of any State to the contrary But the habitual use of and submission to war powers has left the minds of many good citizens in apt condition to forget even until now that the constitution likewise re serves all non delegated powers the States respectively or to the Un der these circumstances the civil rights act was passed which undertook not merely to prohibit legislation and judicial action discriminating against the unequal rights of men of color but adopted for the federal government the power of police within the State: for the preservation of human equality and the enforcement of equal rights Since the adoption of the iitn amendment white and black have dwelt together in harmony in Ohio and prosecutions under the civil rights act have been rare so that few cases have as yet oc curred suggesting the necessity of an amendment of our criminal laws so as furnish a substitute for the portion of the civil rights act thus condemned by the Su preme Court But every just man jeal ous of his own rights should have a heart open to feel an ear open to hear an eye quick to see the invasion of the rights of others especially of this race loner bound TTA 4 TIT TV I ITRI' 4T i ealers under federal laws has increased JlvAlJjjX 111 A (J Li iJ IV Al forty per cent in the lat three years anil the enact of unreasonably restrictive law has been felt in the increase of secret and ut controlled drinking No reform is in my judgment more da sireble than to find some common ground upon which conservative men of all parties may stand in opposition alike to prohibi tion and to free trade in liquor which shall furnish adequate legal restraint not of tem perate but intemperate drinking and not unduly interfere with the right of indi vidual liberty aud the duty of self control' Perhaps no measure can be devised that will fully accomplish this result That which comes nearest is I am persuaded the system of license with graduated taxation By the graduation of the tax or license fee justice is done the dealer whose burden is thus proportioned to the extent of legal protection he enjoys and his relation also to Ms opportunity for mischief By scrutiny before license renewal power may be given to drive from the trade men of known bad character and those who have conducted it illegally and to confine its priv ileges to law abiding litizenswho 1 derlv houses of entertainment I Without an amendment to the constitu tion the full benefits of a proper system of match between Matsada the Japanese and license and taxation can not be had burn amendments proposed in 1851 and 1874 were defeated by small majorities diftirmt result might perhaps follow the submission of this proposition by the present general assembly to the qualified voters at the elec tion in 18S5 The alternative amendment submitted in 1883 which would have given power to license was cast in such dorm as also to authorize direct prohibition or pro hibition by arbitrary or excessive taxation and therefore lost the favor of many We have to deal however with the con stitution as it is but with the advantage of knowing the labors of the Supreme Court that the act of 1883 commonly known as the Scott law is not in conflict with inhibition against the passage of laws to license this traffic Although this act may not in the legal or techffieal sense es tablish a license system it has some of its advantages produces some of its effects and in practice largely partakes of the na ture does not in direct terms protect the dealer ing the Columbus Jan 14 The early trains brought many to witness the ceremrf ly of inaugurating Governor Iloadly There are the usual throngs about the State House and hotels but it is noticeable that they are not so large as on former similar occasions At 1 a the Duckworth and Jefferson clubs of Cincinnati: the Jackson Club i Of Dayton and other clubs proceeded to i the Park Hotel whence they escorted Gov Hoadly distinguished visitors and the i Joint Legislative Committee to the Capitol The clubs made an imposing appearance i and were pleasing relief to the usual miii tary escort The weather was threatening 1 and the streets through which the Governor 1 was escorted were slushy with mingled i snow and dirt The absence of military pomp in the parade was noticeable 1 i In the rotunda of the Capitol prayer was offered by Rev Dr Gladden of the Congregational Church this city Gov oster presented Gov elect Hoadly and the latter delivered his inaugural address after which the oath of office was adminis tered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court The following contains the leading points of the address: Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: In accordance with law I am here to take the oath and enter upon the discharge of the duties of the office of Governor The elections held in October 1882 and 1883 consummated by the changes in office made to day reverse the character of po litical control in all departments of the State government The party now coming into power does not however occupy the offices for the sake of mere emolument In such cases power involves trust Uponit is cast the responsibility of Government with the risk of condemnation if its work fail to be in comparison with that of its predecessor These are not times in which political mistakes are readily condoned Large and increasing numbers of citizens now vote independently of party ties con stituting a tribunal sitting in perpetual and severe judgment upon the acts of public officers If the management of state affairs especially by the executive and legislative departments be wise the re ward will follow in the shape of continued public confidence But confidence is of slow growth and soon lost in the presence of unwise selections for official position or hasty and improvident legislation There is but one sure method whereby to secure party succes viz absolute devotion to the interests of the State perfect identity be tween party action and the general good Whenever for supposed political advant age the welfare of the State is subordin ated to that of party the penalty is at once invoked and will surely follow in the loss of popular confidence and in disaster at the polls To select men of doubtful capacity for public service to withdraw for party ends from the control of the people the organization and government of municipalities to forget that the benevolent institutions are sacred charities for the benefit of the unfortunate and not centers of political activity to adopt un fair and unequal apportionments are among the means whereby popular confidence may be easily lost and a triumphant party re duced to a minority at the first opportunity offered to popular suffrage That from these and like disasters the State Govern ment of Ohio may be spared that its ef forts to serve the State wisely and well may be crowned with that the burdens of taxation may not increase that economy may prevail in public administration that personal liberty may be secure and govern ment be felt if at all most in its benefits and least in its restraints that the wise limitations of power contained in the con stitution and which since 1851 hav? largely contributed to the success of gov ernment may be strictly these are among the hopes with which I take this oath not undmindful of the admoni tion not him that girdeth on the harness boast himself as he that putteth Upon their fulfillment will depend the success of the State Government during the next two years and the final judg ment of the people concerning the present General Assembly and officers of State Reforms are proposed the successful ac complishment of which is much to be de sired but not all corresponding easily To provide the necessary means whereby the letting to hire of convict labor at the Peni tentiary may be dispensed with as prom ised in the political platform of both par ties to do this without incurring the risk of injurious idleness of convicts or of in creased taxation is a task calling for the greatest wisdom in contrivance and in tegrity in execution The difficulties are so great as to justify any reasonable pre cautions necessary to avoid that failure which is so certain to follow hasty and improvident action It is to be regretted that public atten tion was not sufficiently alive in 1879 to its importance to secure the adoption of the constitutional amendments then submitted so that at least in the year in which a Presi dent's chosen the State election might be held in November Ohio is now the only and during this year will be exposed to consequent expense5 incon venience and possibly corruption and deg radation of the franchise In no sense is this a party question and the majority of those who voted upon it in 1879 wej in favor of the change It was defeated by the apathy of voters who did not under stand the proposition or did not take inter est enough in the subject to cast their votes upon the specific propositions Another submission may be looked to hopefully as likely to be sustained by effort sufficient to insure its approval by the people and re lief although too late for the pending Presi dential election will be in time for 1888 The proposition to amend the constitu tion so as to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage was defeated at the October election But the Supreme Court has held that such pro hibition is attainable under the constitution as it is and the policy of prohibition by municipal action under powers delegated by the General Assembly has been more than once in the history of Ohio judicially sustained The evils resulting from ex cessive drinking are manifold and felt in eveijy portion of the State Many plans have been proposed and the labors of many good men are given to the effort to eradicate these evils The agitation for prohibition will continue for however mis directed it is an honest struggle against a real evil for which many believe pro Mbition to be an adequate if not the only remedy But we can not shut our eyes to the fact that prohibition has failed wherever attempted that prohibition of the sale means practically free trade and that while prohibition of the manufacture may be made effectual this does not affect con sumption but merely forces the dealer to sell voods made out of the State In the MARYLAND SENATORSHIP file Peculiar Law Which Restricts the Legislative Action Annapolis Md Jan The ballot for successor to Mr Groome in the United States Senate begins to day in the Legisla ture As the contest now stands it is a hard matter to form an opinion as to who will be the fortunate one There is a peculiar law existing in Maryland relative to the election of United States Senators which was enacted in 1810 and has been iu force ever since It provides that every second United States Senator shall be from the eastern shore of the State Senator A Gorman then whose term Joes not ex pire until 1885 being from the Western shore the successor to Mr Groome whose term expires on March 4th next under the 9 law must come from the Eastern shore This law is however regarded by many as unconstitutional and therefore cannot be enforced Mr Groome is hope ful that he will be returned to his seat at Washington and has many friends in the Maryland Legislature Judge Robinson also looms up as a candidate from the East ern shore and shows considerable strength Since his inauguration Governor McLane has become more popular than ever and rumor has it that he has been approached on the subject of the Senatorial succession and that he has assented to the use of his name ref ore the Assembly provided the Eastern shore has exhausted her efforts before the proposition to take a candidate from theWestern shore is acted upon 1 The Philadelpbii Reading Philadelphia Jan 15 The annual meeting of the stockholders of
