One of the constitutional amendments which will be voted on this year in Ohio proposes that municiple and town officers shall be elected in each odd numbered and State and 'county officers in each even numbered year. This won hi re duce the number of elections one halt in e ich case. Yearly elections have grown unpopular in Ohio as in many other Sta tes. The biennel amendment will proba bly be adopted. ADM ITT IN Q TOO MUCH. Tiic Birminbam (Ala,) Aye-Herald, in a disgrunted editorial concerning the ap pointments of colored men to the impor tant offices of Collector of Customs in South Carolina and Itegister of Deeds in the General Land Office, and to "third rate" pest office and mail clerkships in the south, which latter says are "bestew cd by the wholesale on the colored bro ther" by the President, has to acknow ledge concerning the newely appointed Register of Deeds: Lynch is probably about the best spec i men of his race that could be found to fill the a responcible office. He is a clenr headed man and has an unobjectionable record. lie presided as temporary Chair man over the convention which nominat ed Blaine. We submit that this admission is fatal to any demurrer against the appointment of colored people. If a man be "clear headed" and of "unobjectional record," which is to say honest and competent, why should he be denied an office to which'he aspires? If any colored men ap pointed to office have not the requis ites of a clear head and unobjectional record let protest be made against the ap pointment, jast as against the appoint ment of any white man devoid of them. But to object simply on the ground of race or color is unconstitutional and absurb. The constitution faaakes the colored man a citizen; inherent reason teaches that if he be well qualified for any office, whetiij er of blaeikng shoes or distributing mails, or of registering deeds, or of legislating in congress, he should ha permitted fo display his qualification. A CHANGE OF WEAPON. Last winter I climed Lookout Mountain in company with a veteran of the latt war. It was his first visit since the day of the memorable assault, and as we climed he fought the battle over again for tnv benefit, As the conflict waxed hotter he grew excited, and on our arriyil at the hotel near the summit was atfevei heat We then passed on through the narrow defile which leads to the pinnacle where we were confronted by a diminu tive specimen of the genus "crackti' with these words, "Ifjyou gentlemen wish to go to the top, you must pay twenty- five cents. This was too much for the pent up feelings of my warlike compan ion, who. tragically waving his strong right arm, shouted: "I won't pay it. Twenty-five years ago I came up here with a sword in my band' But the modern Le-midas, moving not otherwise than to display a deputy sheriffs badg-, quietly remarked: "Well, sah, you must come up with a quarter today." The money was paid. C. C. Teale, in Editor's Drawers. Harper's Magazine for June.

SOME SOLID FVCTS. COLLECTED ON THE COUNTY COUKT HOUSE 1WND QUESTION BY THE IIOAHD OK THADK AND ADDDEPHED TO THE VOTERS' Plattsmotth, Neb., May 15, 1889. The county commissioners of Cass county having called an election to vote for or "gainst issuing $80,000 twenty-year court house bonds, we desire to lay the actus facts before everv property owner and voter in the county, relying upon thei intelligent consideration of the same in casting their vote at the coming election June 8th, 1889. The total bonded indebtedness of the county is $100,000, These are the rail road bonds, and the interest has been paid us it accrued. The principal is due $20, 000 in June of each of the years of 1890 91-92-93-94. Cash in the sinking fund to pay these bonds is now $50,000, and sufficient cash in the other funds to pay all current expenses. So the real indebt edness of the county is only $50,000 at the present time- Total valuation county, 1888, $4,743,779 Valuation of Plattsinouth City and Precinct $1,287,191 Eighty thousand dollars at 5 per cent will cost annually,. . . .$4,000, Nine-tenths of one mill on the total valuation will raise $4,207 More than sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds. The average valuation on eighty acres of land in the county as shown by the records is about $450. so that the owner of eighty acres wo'jld have to pay court house tax of about 40 cents, or less, each vear. These figures are based, on - the 1883 assessment. The valuation wil be greater in 1889, by possibly $300,000, and will increase largely each succeeding year. We believe that a new court house should be built, not only for the sake of building the same in our city but for the protection of the records of the county clerk, county treasurer, county register, county judge and the clerk of the dis trict court, in all of which records almost everv farmer and laud owner in tue county is vitally interested.

Prof. Ilnxlev has predicted that the time will come when it will be a reproach to be sick. - When one freind meets an other he will as soon ask "Are you hon est"? as "Are you well"? for a man will be considered foohh, not to say criminal, who gets sick. Such a state of public feeling will sometime be brought about. Certainly it is true that the morels of health are receiving more and more at tention. A greatly increasing number or people every year prevent the develop ment of all blood, pulmonary and liver decease. This is proved by the enor mously increased use of Dr. Pierce's Gol den Medical Discovery, which nips all such ailments in the bud. Notice to Contractors. Sealed bids will be received by the chairman of the board of Public works until noon on the 3rd day of June 18S9 for filling 6th street to graJe from Main to Granit, and also for filling Pearl street to grade from east side of 6th Btreet to west side of Chicago avenue.

Rhmmatio Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents: Your Mr. Bropka came here toiiiirht and registered as agent for Ilib bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did so it awakened in me an interest ncyer lefore realized in a guest at my bouse. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story. For years I have been greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu matism, the paia and soreness of the joints at time3 being almost unbearable; could move about only with the aid of crutches. In addition to this uiy stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my day. A traveling man stopping with me gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities of its combination, which induced me to try jt. I have taken six bottles and no act in my life affords me greater satisfaction than m writing you I am a well man. It will be a pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. S. Bowlet, Pioprictor, . Empire House, Independence, Iowa. Fold by F. G.

WHERE ARE THE RICH AND ON A COMMON THE POOR PLANE. The Wanderer Amid the fJloriea or Hill mid Vulley Who Love Nature and Know . It Nat The American Tramp and the English "Cubby." One of the greatest charms about Nature is that she never distinctly moralizes. A poor sinner out at the elbows, perhaps from lack of worldly wisdom, may wander along by ways and hedge rows quite secure in the con sciousness that no bush or tree is likely to draw the trigger of a moral gun and send a cold ballet of orthodoxy into his one vulner able spot the heel, he fondly imagines, of an unsung Achilles. No, Nature is too tender hearted for that The sun smiles cheerfully at him, the leaves rustle musically for him, the great trees are as hospitable in offering him a seat at their roots as if he were the king of Wall street, the inventor of electric light or the author of "Passion Prisms for Analyzing Impurity." Everything combines to surround him with an atmosphere of peace. He may forget his shabby attire and disappointed hopes and serenely open his heart to the benign influences which his alma mater weaves about him. Her teachings are too subtle for him to rebel against AN UNCONSCIOUS AFFECTION. Although a tramp may not formulate his thoughts, there is no doubt something of this feeling is in his heart The nomadic tribes organized bands of tramps who believe in the heaven-father and the earth-mother gypsies, Bedouins, Indians and Tartars, are true, if unconscious, lovers or nature. ineir lan guage, picturesque and adorned with similes and metaphors drawn from inexhaustible treasures of winds and waves and mountains, bespeaks poetic devotion to the harmonious inflections of their musical mother tongue. The most genuine poetry is still found in the oral traditions and rudo minstrel improvisa tions of wandering tribes, and the saddest music, that most tinged with realization of an undercurrent of remorseless fate, may be heard in the wild strains of the peasants who wander over the rugged mountains of Nor way, or may be heard in the fireside songs of the dwellers in Siberian tents. There is somewhat amusing In the fact that three-fourths of the tramps of the world are unconscious of their own affection for nature. Go into analytical rhapsodies over nature's loveliness to a gypsy and he will quizzically look at you askance, to an Indian and he will grunt an unmoved assent, to an American tramp he elevates his eyebrows in disdain of sentimental weakness. Yet they steep themselves in golden sun light, lie contentedly in cool shade by a trout stream to watch the darting minnows in a dark brown pool, and become acquiescent crucibles in which nature drops many a dainty seed of thought to germinate and blossom finally into action, or to be eaten away by the acrid bitterness of its surround ings. They know not the causa of their own contentment, but they fool that nature de mands nothing of them, not even work. She offers boundless freedom, and in return. whilo apparently giving nothing, they give the unconscious devotion of a lifetime. There is a certain cheerfulness about the genuine tramp that is attractive to the stu dent of human fife. This cheerfulness is not so much optimistic as philosophic. It is not a blana unconsciousness of evil like that shown by Lamb's friend, George Dyer, who, when Lamb asked what he thought of a mur derer who had destroyed two families, bro ken prison by suicide and was then being carried to a cross roads grave, merely replied: "Why, I think, Mr. Lamb, he must have been rather an eccentric character." But rather the quiet, good humor of the sports man who, returning from the marshes, wan asKea u ne naa snot anytmng. "jso, ha said, "but I have given the birds a good sere nading. THE BATTERED HAT IS LIFTED. Cheerfulness is generally supplemented bv courtesy, and this is true of the average tramp I hroughout my rambles I have never hesi tated to address any wayfarer, unless of vicious look, and in nearly all cases the bat tered hirt has been politely lifted and often a curious bit or information about scenerv. plants or flowers has been imparted. The general politeness of the average American tramp is as far beyond that, for instance, of the English cabby or policeman as the grace of the free growing pine is beyond that of the clipped and stilted boxwood. A proper transmutation of forces might result in the cabby's being steeped in genial sunlight as a nondescript harmless element of our. civiliza tion, while the American tramp might be paid for his courtesy as a useful citizen abroad. Unless indeed to the latter change of climate brought change of manners. ueriaia p is inar. tne influence or warm days in the middle states "when spring un locks the flowers to paint the laughing soil" has a genializing effect upon the army of tramps who march along the byways of civil ization. One who studies them will see that undjserved opprobrium has rested upon their manners if not upon their morals. - Not all are sapless branches on the tree of progress, llony are of your blood, mental and physical, my good Sir Eyeglass Philosopher, or you, my Lady Handkerchief Holder. Some are laborers out of work, anxious to save the cost of living at home ungenteel diners out; some possess an ease loving artistic temperament without power of expression In' art forms; some again are true philosophers, not differ ing widely from that philosopher who vaunted sleeping (n a tub, pc from that one who d clared: If you would Improve, be content to be thought foolish and dull with regard to ex ternals. All however are molded more or less pv nature, and though, none io the keenj steel blades of humanity, some are the blocks of - wood out of ' which time and tircumstances may carve convenient handles. And as to contempt for them as a class, why, mon voisin, is there so much difference after all between too good natured, quick witted, out door vaurien and the Indolent man of pleas ure, who, half unconscious, of the treasures of art and nature about him, methodically tramps and eats his ancestrally-paid-for way through many lands?
