IIThe Democratic State Convention will meet at Indiana polls v ednesday. August 9. "We find the above in the Uaviess County Democrat The statement is incorrect The Convention meets on the 2J. The Repub licans meet cn the 9th. We trust our friends will bear in mind that the "American Knights of Ilonor' is a new Know Nothing organization, officer ed by Republicans. As the Sentinel pub lished the full dispatch from Dallas, Tel., the other day we will only repeat a portion of it It concluded as follows: William Jesse (I rant, formerly a Methodist mln ister In Kost 8 1. Louis, 111., lately editor of the Dallas Gazette, and a cousin to General Grant, is said to have organized the society here, under the authority of the parent society la wasnington. and ttiat another Republican leader, well known in the s-tate. is now out organizing lodges. The purposes of the society is said tc be tbe defeat of Catholic Demoe ratic candidates for office. The exposure Is made on the authority of one of tbe members of the society, who gave the secrets away. Has the Journal no shame that it dares to speak of the use of money in elections, thus recalling the infamous use of money by the Republicans in this State in 1SS0, when Star Route Dorsey was Secretary of one Republican Committee and the proprietor of the Journal was the Chairman of another? These worthies still retain their official positions in the Republican party, and one of them holds high office under this Stalwart Administration, and controls, to a great extent the political patronage in Indiana. The same pious set probably contemplate a repetition of the Corruption of 1SS0, and the talk of the Journal may be intended to divert attention from their designs. We are glad to see the Indianapolis Sentinel favoring the submission of the prohibitory amendment to the people at the November election, and also opposing prohibition. Rushville Jacksonlan. That is just what the Sentinel is in favor of. It demands for the people the privilege of saying in November what their will is in regard to prohibition. The issue has been made by a Republican Legislature, and forced upon the attention of the people, and the Sentinel is anxious that the people shall decide it to suit themselves. The Democratic party of Indiana does not shrink from the contest nor dodge the issue. Repcblicans do both. A Republican Legislature has made an issue which tbe Republican party dare not meet, and the display of Republican cowardice attracts attention everywhere throughout the State. An "Independent" candidate for the next Legislature is announced by the Booneville Enquirer on the sole issue of the submission of the prohibitory amendment to a rote of the people. Does our "Independent" friend not know that the State Constitution has already decided the question of "submission?" If thelneit Legislature passes favorably upon the amendment, the Constitution says it mutt be tubmitted to popular vote. If on the contrary the Legislature does not pass favorably upon it, the Constitution confers no power on that body to submit it It dies then and there. The Journal and other Republican papers are endeavoring to obscure the point, but no Intelligent man of either party should allow himself to bo bamboozled by them. The Democratic State Central Committee met yesterday and fixed the date for the State Convention on Wednesday, August 2, just one week befüre the Republican Convention meets. There was a large attendance of representative men of the Democratic party, and the expression was general and emphatic in favor of a strong plank against the submit-too- to the people of the prohibition amendment. Journal. What is the use of such foolish lying? Either you are very ignorant or you must have a poor opinion of the intelligence of your readers. The question of "submission' can not by any sort of a possibility get into the canvass. The Constitution has removed it clear out The Legislature "can only vote on the amendments. It can have no vote on the question of submission. Tae Constitution has decided it, and expressly says that amendments must be summitled when a second Legislature has passed favorably upon them. If the members of the coming Legislature are opposed to the amendments, they may feel ever bo willing to submit them to tbe people; yet the Constitution stops them right there, and the amendments fail. Thus the Journal's charge that representative men of the Democratic party are in favor of a strong plank against submission is simply nonsense. The Republican organs are giving the impression that the Democratic party is not in favor of submitting the amendments to a vote of the people. This is a very cheap sort of a lie. The iext Legislature can not decide to submit or refuse to submit the amendments. The Republican party and the Democratic party may "whereas" and "resolute" until doomsday to submit them or to not do so, and they are powerless to influence a question already decided by the Constitution. The next Legislature must vote upon the amendments. The Stale Constitution has made it obligatory upon that body, and there is no evading or dodging the issue. If a majority of that Legislature pass favorably upon the amendTaints then the Constitution says that they mw( be passed upon by the people. If the majority of the Legislature ae opposed to the amendments, then no matter ,how members may feel about sub-

mining them to popular vote, they are powerless to do so. The matter is decided. The Democratic party invite the fullest and most exhaustive discussion upon the amendments during th coming canvass, so that members of the Legislature may be fully instructed by their constituents as to their duty in regard to them. The party is most emphatically in favor of ascertaining the will of the people in the manner contemplated by the Constitution, and in carrying that will into execution.

ROBERT DALE OWEN ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The fact is not likely to be generally denied that Robert Dale Owen was recognized as a leadingspiritin the Convention which framed the present Constitution of Indiana. On pace l,2jy pf the second volume of Constitutional Debates, on the provision in reference to amending the Constitution, as to what it meant, Mr. Owen is reported as fol lows: "Now I think if It be made Imperative that an amendment proposed to be made to the Constitu tion fchall be voted for by two successive Legisla tures. be drclid with reference to thai purtkulnr nthjrit, the question will be debated before the people, and they will send Senators and Represen tatives with a tp(ciH nrreiwc to Unit qunifutn. This will be a sufticieat guard against improper and ill advised amendments." This is the whole question in a nut shell. The question of amending the Constitution will be voted on by the next Legislature, and it is desirable that the Legislature shall be advised of the will of the people upon the subject of prohibition. One Legislature, without instruction, has voted upon it Therefore, it is all the more important that the next Legislature shall be instructed, and we have Mr. Owen's explicit declaration that the framers of the fundamental law of the State intended it should not be amended unless the Legislature had been elected with special reference to such proposed amend ment The logic is convincing, and its force will be at once admitted by men of all parties who are willing to be governed by fact rather than fiction. In the year 1881 the farmers'of the United States were unable to produce a full supply of potatoes, cabbages and beans for the home market The want of rain during the months of August September and October is as signed as the reason for the short crop. As a consequence, the United States had to im port potatoes, beans and cabbages. The books of the New York Custom House fur nish the following statistics of importations during the months of January, February and March, 182, from Great Uritain, France and Germany: Bushel. Value. $ l-'i.fttl 00 i'J,i2 10 409 00 Potatoes January 113.4:16 February CM 05s" March . i,oi3,wa Total 1.821. l.J S706 403 00 Add duty, läc per bush 5373,632 &0 Cabbages In Jannary and Febru ary, amounting to a i!l,ox uu Duty, 10 per cent, ad valorem....... il.'rti 6'J TOttkl... iMm S 23,721 ÖU Siss.-jO'.) oo SS,ti2D W Bear.s Jan., Feb. and March, bush. 2ii.:;o:i - Duty, 10 per ceuu ad valorem Total f 121,82. 90 S 4M .593 90 Sauerkraut (duty tree) Value. "ItjWill be seen," says the New York Daily Commercial Bulletin, "that we imported of these three articles, potatoes, cabbages end beans emphatically the food of the poor to the amount of $l,lH.lS.'t, to which a paternal government kindly added duties of $311001.20, thus swelling the amount to $1,428,184.20. What we object t is, not so much the fifteen cents per bush 1 on potatoes as to raising of the price of every bushel of potatoes consumed by the poor over 35 per cent, for it is manifest that were potatoes admitted duty-free every bushel would be fifteen cents cheaper. Another thing strikes US in this matter. Can some of our legislative Solons er j lain to us why cabbage should pay a duty of 10 pel- cent, while sauerkraut, manufactured from cabbage?, should be imported free of duty? A few of these anomalies in our present tariff might be changed; or rather, all food products should be placed on the free list especially those articles which are absolutely demanded by the poor, whom it is the first and chief duty of the Government to protect." It is quite possible that the Tariff Commission will wrestle with the subject, though tlie probabilities are not large, since dealers in potatoes, cabbages and beans, arc not likly to give the Commissioners banquets or slip $.'0 gold pieces into their pockets "unbeknowns" to them The sermon of Rev. A. II. Carrier, of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, delivered yesterday, is Vorth reading aud study. The reverend ten tieman does not seem to be befouled uoon the issue bef re the people in the election of tbe next Genera! Assembly, and that is the ch jiee of members who will agree to the proposed amendment to the Constitution, in order that the people may have a distinct and direct vote upon tbem. Tnat is tbe question. Journal. Some of the boys around the Journal office went to Church on Sunday and found out what would be "the issue" in the approaching campaign. A larnentablo degree of ignorance seems to have banked around the concern. Linen was to be torn and the ground plowed up unless the amendments were submitted to the people. We pointed out in our usual urbane, neighborly manner, in a stage underwhisper, out of regard for our contemporary's feelings, that the Con stitution had already decided the matter that there was no call 'for excitement and bluster that an amendment which had been formerly considered and voted upon by ' two successive Legislatures viut be submitted to the people But no! Nothing would satisfy it The amendment must be submitted, Constitution or no Constitution. We winked at our esteemed Contemporary and made the usual sign of the craft which freely translated means "Quit! you are making a donkey of yourself." The hallucination continued until Sunday, when Rev. Mr. Carrier's sermon seems to have opened its eyes just a little, and it now takes the position that in order to submit the prohibitory amendment tothepeople.membersof the next legislature tnust be cltctrd wha are in furor, of prviibitiun. The Rep ublican tactics heretofore have been to say nothing about the prohibitory amendment in tbe canvass, and then 'smuggle it through the next Legislature as they did through the Lvt one. The Democrats demand that a fu?J discussion may be had during the approaching campaign that members elected to the Legislature may be fully posted regarding the debires of their constituents.' If the la'ier desire that the prohibitory amendment should become a part of the Constitution of the State, 'let

them Bend members up to the next Legislature who will vote for them. The time for discussion has come. Let there be no dodging the question by the Journal under the fog bank of " submission." " Submission" aud the rights of the people lie very snugly ensconced in the breast of the Constitution.

Ma, English Is running for Congrefji upon the anti prohibition platform. What thst question will have to do ia a National Congress is what "r.0 fellow can tied out." Indianapolis lit r Id. The "fellows'' who have no principles, or who are afraid to express them, like the "fellows" who nominated Peelle, may not be able to "tindout" but intelligent fearless people, who have correct opinions and tne manliness to express them, understand the matter thoroughly. The latter class will only support for office at the next election men who are known to agree with them in Opposition to the fanatical ides, of prohibi tionwhether in the State or Nation, and they are entirely satisfied with both Mr. English's record and the platform on which he is making the race. He is no hypocrite, neither is his party hypocritical. They say what they mean and mean what they say, and will receive the support of those who are sincerely opposed to prohibition Resides it is well known that prohibition can, in various ways, have a bearing on Congressional legislation and that matters con nected with the subject have already been proposed there. Congress provides for a revenue to support the Government, and doea not the Herald know that a large por tion of it is derived from a tax levied by an act of Congress upon spirituous and malt liquors which .would be materially lessened if not destroyed by prohibition? And doea not the Herald know that it has recently been proclaimed by a leading Republican Governor that it is the intention of the Republican i arty to make prohibition Na tional?

And does not the Herald know that Mr, Blair, the Republican United States Senator from New Hampshire, proposes an amendment to the Federal Constitution which lias been brielly expressed by one of his admirers in the following words: "That after the year 19J the manufacture and sale of distilled alcoholic liquors (except for medicinal, mechanical, chemical and scientific purposes, and for the use of art), shall cease in the United States and Territories, and their importation and exportation thall be prohibited." The closing sectioas of the pro posed amendments are: gee. 3. Should this article not beratiSedby three-fourths of the States on or before the last diy of iHscembpr, lS'JO, then the Sr&t section hereof shall take effect and be in force at the expiration of ten j ears from euch raliiieauo i: and the assent f any State to this article shall not be rescinded nor reversed. See 4. Congress shall enforce this article by til needful legislation. Thk Democrats lu Indiana have been congratu latins themselves tbat they had the Republicans ou the defensive In that State.

The manly stand" taken by the Republicans in this District was to trot out their candidate for Cjngress without a platform. They were absolutely afraid to make one. lie is now before the people, aad nobody knows waat he is in favor ot or opposed to. So far i as the amendment is concerned the widest discussion is courted by tbe Democrats. So far as the question of submitting is con cerned the State Constitution says that it muri he tubmitted if the coming Legislature adopts it; and when a Democratic or a Republican Convention rtsolve to submit the amendments to the people, let it also resolve that two and two make four. It will make it "more binding" on two and two to make four in fact two and two will feel under addition.1 obligation to u.ake four. Republicanism, thy other names are humbuggery and hypocrisy!

Senator Miller, of Mew York, on the Chi OaeiUon. fWtsalngton Letter to Albany Journal. The best argument I have heard on the suojeciot cninese immigration, better than any oi tue Fpeecncs in congress, because it is the whole truth in a nutshell, was a very lniormai one by your senior Senator in his own parior ana in a private conversation. Senator Miller said: "The matter is simply this: The Chinese are a race who nave uvea under a despotism for 4,000 years without ever having maue a revolution toward liberty hat 19 not the material with which I wish to Bee any part of our countrv till un. They do not comprehend nor afliliate with tne American system. Tbe impression that j-.astern manufacturers (1 speak as one of them) want cheap labor is entirely erroneous. natmey want is intelligent laborlabor that represents citizenship, that takes siock iu fchoola and Churches, and. if thev were actuated only by selfish motives, even on tnat ground they would want a class of laborers that are larrre consumers as well as rt.ru ii on...

The great land-owners there control more acres than anv lord iu 1.MKHUU. nun ninese laoor tins is possible, but it would not he with Caucasian labor. The overwhelming sentiment in norma on tins question means a protest by the ereat body of her citizenship apasnsc tuts ictiiiai despotism. Caucasian laborers Jin our broad country will not be contented to work in gangs on a great owners iana. ah American citizen's first ambition is to own a little land himself. As fast as he gets the money he puts it into sixty or 120 acres, and makes a honieof his own, and represents in the commonwealth a wife and children by his vote. The Chinef-e has no such sanctity in his life here. He represents a cheaper civilization. He fills the place of a man with better anchorage. The race is dririog out and keeping out white laborers from the Pacific Coast, which would in course of time become an integral part of our responsible American citizenship the noblest manhood of the world. Their jresenca is. doing for California what African imjKirration did for the South establishing an aristocratic and a very servile class. While the teligious denominations of the East are denouncing the Chines:e bill as preventing by its operation the opportunity for Christianizing the Chicere, taey forget that it was the same old argument tbat was used by the apologists for slavery ihat it was a mercy to take the poor African out of his own jungles and bring him here to enjoy the opportunity of religious instruction, and th'visrh a s!av to be a converted man. with his eternal salvation secured to him through his transfer. They elo not rellect that the moral deierioration of that portion of our people coining in contact with a race who may be oppressed without redress a race politically inferior is a greater e vil, by the development of the worst traits in cur fallen human nature, than is compensated for by the alleged good received by the other party. It was. inj theb juth; it is to-day in California. The same ciass rf sentimentalists, by their false alarm about freedom of conscience in religious belief, prevented the stamping out of Mornionism thirty yearj a.o, when it was numerically, weak. Had we done this duty then a great trouble and danger nowconfronting us might have been averted. If Congress had waited before taking any action till a million or two of Chinamen were here on 0115 shores, the question probably could only have been solved by a war of races. This is our own country, for which our fathers have fought, and for which we in this gencation have fought I want to see it reserved as a field for tbe fullest envelopment of our institutions. I do not believe any mixture of American and Mongolian civilization can achieve this lievelrpuient, and therefore I do not with 'Mongolian immigration.'
