(For payment of pensions to ex-Confederate soldier* .. * *- ml- The Amendments. The amendments to the constitution of the state to he voted on are ex plained as follow*: Amendment to article 7. section I of the constitution Increases the taxing authority of counties. If approved, taxes may be levied for police and san itary purposes. All the county police systems of th* state nre at present provided by subterfuge, the officers being paid ae road inspectors. The other amendment, that to article 7. section I. of the constitution Is the one provided by the legislature under the Foster bill whereby the state Is given authority to levy taxes for the payment of pensions to practlcallf all Confederate veteran* and their widow*. These worda will appear on the bal lot*: "For payment of pensions to ex- Confederate soldiers and th* widows of ex-Confederate soldier*.’’ ’ Against payment of pensions to ex* Confederate soldier* and the widow* of ex-Conredewt* soldier*.** The wording would lead one to be lieve that the question of straight pen slong was being submitted, and that he who votes against the proposed amendment might be considered opposing pensions for any veterans their widows. This Is not the case, as the amend ment merely extends the pensioning authority of the state legislature. I; does not nffdct present pensions, nor add any new ones but gives the g*n- oral assembly authority to do the lat ter by wholesale. Under tho constitution as it la at present, no pensions may be paid ex cept to Injured or Indigent Confed erate veterans or their widows. Neither can a pension be paid to the widow of a veteran, if since her vet- era a* husband's death she has married a second time. Indigency has bee construed to be akin to pauper*in. and the good friends of the o' lor defenders of tho south have longed claimed that to make It a requirement of pensions is placing an undue indig nity on the veteran*. The Foster amendment, if approved and It will be aptiroved—permits *he permit* the payment of pensions to the tholr widows, who may not bo worMt more than 11.500. or have an annual Income of more than 3300. It also permits the. payment of pension to th.* widow* of veterans, who become wid ows by the reason of any marms"' contracted before 1K70 and to any widow whose husband was khlel in the Civil .War., but who later mnvied a surviving . veteran who has since died. Some claim that owing to the ad vanced age and growing cas riitlos among the class affected by the law that even If put into full operation by the general assembly the pension budget will not be .materially Ircr nn- ed. Others hold that If the plan were put Into force next year, the Increased pension Hat brought about woq.d add a million dollars to the present psn- slo n sum of that amount.

A few day* ago Judge Taft en roll#-d tho name of John Mitchell as one of tho deserters, but the gallant Mitchell promptly nailed this slanderous .declara tion of the republican candidate and on yesterday assured Gompers of bis eternal fidelity to their cause. , “For years Bryan hns been regarded as the champion of the rights of the tolling masses. He has suffered much because of his devotion to their cause. During thjs period Judge Toft has been regarded as the ‘father of Injunctions’ and aa the champion of principle Inimical to the in terests of labor.

Confessing thati they would not work altogether on re publican lines, the democrats assert that a real revision of the tariff will be much I more certain with a democratic than with a republican house. The democratic managers make no secret of the fact that they are giving their especial atten tion to the clo*e districts, to those hav ing republican majorities of 2.000 and less.

These discussions — generally at night, Jwlth the moon shining clear, the water rippling by. and the katydids keeping up with the bull '^ofi in the low places. . Judge Stokes says that the duck* are ot yet plentiful, owing to the slow ap- . roach of cold weather. They are in the duck zone, however, and when the duek and teal do begin to hunt the canebrakes and the inland ponds, they will slaughter them to their heart’s content. At night, they fasten the boat to _ ee on the bank, and with poles keep it ..ear of the bank and then they are safe. They go from bank to bank, and some times take excursions Into the woods. The other day they came across a bear track, and they are now laying for him. The 'possums and ’coons are Plentiful. The fish are now more plentiful than for some time. Yesterday tne Judge brought B an’eighteen-pound cat to be made into owder. • The cost of living In this way Is next to nothing. The proceeds of the sale of a fert bunches of fish buys all the meal and lard and salt they need to cook their game with, and with a little money for tobacco, they can live like lords without ideal life, this life in a houseboat, and While It may be tough to start with, the lonesomeness soon wears off and content ment comes easy and delightfully. As soon as the election Is over Judge Stokes will return to the boat and glide down stream to tholr favorite tlelng up place and wait for the ducks.
