Local Option in General Statutes.
AtJanta Constitution.
It frequently happens in our
state legislation that a bill cover
ing I subject matter of general
interest is amended, or an at
tempt made to amend it, so that
it shall not become law in any
county until recommended to be
enforced by the grand jury of
each county. The effect is that
suoh a statute might be effective
in one county and utterly ignored
in an adjoining county.
The principle of such amend
ments may be right, biit the ap
plication of them that is custom
ary, as above Itated, is wrong.
The whole question of a just and
democratic system of home rule
is involved in the principle, but
the real spirit and purpose of lo-
oal option in legislative opera
tions is clearly violated by the
practice now in vogue.
If the subject matter of the bill
is of such general interest as to
demand a general bill, then the
statute should be enacted without
exceptions, or provisos. Other
wise it should be converted at
once into a general local option
bill and the electors.,of the' sever
al counties be left / to deal with
the subject matter of the statute,
just as is now done with the li
quor question, the no fence law,
and other statutes that ai’e of
identical form.
A grand .jury is not any part of
the legislative department of the
state. It is.the grand inquest of
the county with power to reoorn
mend its judgements to the pow
ers resident in.the courts or in
the people. A grand jury oannot
make laws and it is a wholly ano
malous and undemocratic thing
to leave the. practical adoption or
nullification of any state statute
to the action or non-action of
suoh a body ,
f Some day the constitution of
the state will be revised. When
suoh revision is made such inci
dents as we are now discussing
are likely to be made impossible,
Modern option leans strongly to
cutting out of general assembly
legislation the regulation of pure
ly looal matters. There should
be popular legislative bodies in
each county to deal with all such
qiiestious and release the general
assembly from tlie burden, cost
and waste of considering them.
The spirit of the times is economy
in state legislation and the impo
sition of county legislation whol
ly upon the constituency to be
affeoted by it, subject of course,
to such general laws as may be
necessary.

What does it profit a woman if
she gain the whole world of

health? Young women students,
and school teachers, eager, ambi

ten neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They
eat insufficient food, and at irreg
ular hours, they allow irregulari
ty of the womanly functions to be
established, and the result is that
they become chronic invalids with
all their education practically
worthless. There is a plain road
back to health for such as these,

A Temperate Temperance Society.
The New Orleans Picayune tells
of the existence And successful
operation iu that city of a unique
and most interesting institution,
for the promotion of temperance
and sobriety. The organization
organized in New Orleans, accord
ing to the Picaune, in 1869, and
has not only flourished there, but
has £put forth its branches in
many other localities. It is the
Order of the Knights of Temper-
ence. Its principles, which are in
many respects entirely different
from those of any other temper-
ence order, are as follows :
It does not pledge its members
to abstain from intoxicating li
quors for life or any fixed period
of time. It prohibits the use, by
its members, of intoxicating li
quors as a beverage only so long
as thep remain connected with
the order. It leaves the consider
ation of the right to manufac
ture, purchase or sell intoxicating
liquors with the conscience of the
individual member. While it
preaches aud practices temper-'
ence, it does not attempt to make
E ersons temperate by force, but
y moral suasion only. It assists
its members in securing employ
ment, takes care'of its sick and
buries its dead. One of its ad
vantages is that it keeps no op
pres^ive obligation hanging over
the head of an individual. He is
not bound for any specified' time;
he can quit whenever he may
ohoose. It is wonderful what an
effect this complete liberty has on
men. Many a time members
have said, “I will resign next
week,” but when the time comes
he postpones for another week,
and so they go on for years, know
ing they can quit at any time.
The Picaune says the organization
has made an excellent record in
New Orleans, - andjs heartily com
mended to all who want to stop
the drink habit and still possess
some will and conscience.—Al

A Safety Valve Farm.
' ' ‘How’s your farm coming on?”
asked a man, according to the De
troit Free Press.
“Oh, it’-s all right,” said the
other man; “just drinking up my
money right along.”
“What makes you keep it if you
are losing money on it?” the first
man inquired.
“Because it is such a good fi
nancial safety valve,” the ama
teur farmer explained. “I’ve
noticed all my life that my mon
ey goes one way or another, and
if I lose it in farming I am losing
it iu a good, clean, wholesome
kind of way. When I think of
( the dollars that go into my farm
and bring no return my con
science dosu’t hurt me, Which
can’t be said of all kinds of spec
ulation.
“My wife and children revel in
the farm; it’s just fine to have a
nice little country place to go to
rtndjto take our friends for a day’s
junket; so all I lose on it, as to
crops and so on, comes back in
some other way. It is such a
square, sensible way to lose mon
ey, so I’m going to hold on to it.”
“That’s right,” argued themau
who listened. “Thats
Hurrah for the farm 1”
Very Remarkable Oure of Diarrhoea.
“About six years ago for the
first time in my life I had a sud
den and severe attack of diar
rhoea,” says Mrs. Alice Miller of
Morgan, Texas. “I got tempo
rary relief, but it came back again
and again, and for six long years
I have suffered more misery and
agony than I can tell. It was
worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for phy
sicians’ prescriptions and treat
ment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county,, our
present home, and one day,I hap
pened to see an advertisement, of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea ’Rernedy with a testi
monial of a man who had been
cured’ by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I conclud
ed to try the remedy. The result
was wonderful. I could hardly
realize that I was well again, or
believe it could be so after hav
ing, suffered so long, but that
one bottle of medicine, costing
but a few cents, cured me.” For
sale by all druggists.
