Grand Army of tire Republic.

CiscISSArI, May 13-At a secret
session OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public yesterday afternoon, ques
ton arose as to whether delegates
from States in arrearages for dues to
the National Encamp ment should be
admitted to the floor. Illinois and
Missouri were in this predicament.--
In the course OF debate, Mr.. Davis, Of
ILL.,, said he had no apology to give
nor tayors to ask, but he said he
would either come here with full
rights or not at all. He spoke for
the Post in Chicago, although they
had been neglectful in Their dues, yet
during the past year had raised $4,000
and supported the widows and orphans
of the soldiers within the same.
The arrearage test was promptly
dropped.
The Adiutant Generals report show
ed that there were IN the United States
thirty-seven departments OF tho Grand
Army OF the Republic and 1880
Posts.
The National Encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic met
IN secret session at 8 clock this
morning.

THE INDIANA CASE.

l. A majority in either branch of
the Legislature of Indiana is Republic

voted to ratity the XVIII Amendment.
to the Federal Constitutions
The Constitution of Indiana re-
quires the presence of two-thirds OF
the members elected to either House
to constitute a quorum tor the transac.
ton OF business
1. The Democratic minority OF the
Senate, seeing no other way to defeat
the ratification, with the exception of
two or three who represented doubtful
districts. resigned, thus breaking the
quorum. Those who resigned were
all reelected with little or no opposi
ton.
>. The Legislature, which the res
ignation had broken up, was now re-
consttuted-the Democratic minority
refusing to come i'm till it had been
stipulated by the Republicans that the
XVIII Amendment shoald not be act
ed on till specified day, before which
all other business could be finished
This engagement was kept.
6. Now the Amendment was taken
up again; and Democratic members,
with one or two exceptions III each
branch, thercupon proifered their res
ignations, intending to break the quo
rum.
7. In the Senate, the Democratic
members kept on voting until the Con.
stitutional Amendment came up, and
acted precisely as if they had the same
rights as other members. The mo.
mcnt the Amendment was reached
they raised the point OF order that nc
quorum was present, nearly all OF them
having resi- sned. The presiding officer
ruled that, as no official notice of their
resignation had been received, and as
they had continued acting as members,
, he must treat them as such. Their
theory of action was like that of the
hunter who aimed at tie animal in the
distance so as to hit it if it was deer
and TO miss it fit was calf. This in
geneous theory was not accepted, and
the Amendment, after receiving the
due majority, was sent to the Other
branch.

One hudred years ago the now celebrated
Plantation Filters wore as we'll known in the
West Indies as they are now known in the
United States. 1t is true that they W IRE not
known by that name, but their compone nts
and manner Of manufacturing were the same
save that there has been added Callsaya or
Peruvian Bark, celebrated the world over for
its wonderful tonic properties. Even to this
day these Bitters are popular as ever, and
their sale and use on these Islands is con.
stantly increasing, and there can hardly a
family be found, rich or poor, who is without
them. We do not wish to impute any wrong
to the American proprietors of these Bitters,
but that they are the originators, we most
stoutly deny, and they must take such UNI.
bragg at ii as they please. At the same time
we take this occesion to say that a more val.

It's generally known that in the Spring
there is more sickness than during any other
season. This can easily be accounted for
but to prevent is often much more difficult
The whole system is in relaxed condition,
which is most favorable to the development
Of disease. The great and sudden changes
in the weather, finding the system already
prepared, produce their etfects-sickness and
death.
This state Of things can most effectually b
guarded against by regularly using some
good tonic blood purifier. Tho Zingari Bit.

ANOTHER REVENUE DEclsloN-Ta
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
recently decided that the special tax
receipt of dealer, only covers the
business of selling at the particular
place named in the receipt, and that
all persons who buy any kind OF farm
produce to ship, must pay special tax
as produce brokers, regardless of any
receipt they may hold covering any
other kind Of business. Under this
ruling it will be important for those
dealers. and others, who are in the
habit Of buying butter eggs, grain &c,
to ship, to attend to the matter of pro-

The Late ESatiic-Thc Republic
OF Cuba Proclaimed,

New York, May 20.-An Havana
letter states that advices from the re-

hundred Spaniards, and one thousand
Cubans. Another letter, dated the

has been formally established. by a

ed President of the Republic, and Gen.
Quesada Commander-in-C of the
forces. Don Francisco V. Aguilara
has been appointed Secretaryot State
and War.
Cespedes issued a stirring proclama-
ton on assuming the presidency. He
says: In the act of beginning the strug-
Gle with the oppressor, Cuba has as
sumed the solemn duty to consummate
her independence, or perish in the at
tempt, and in giving herself demo.
cratic government, she obligatcs her
self to become republican. This doub-

world and. what is more, before our
own conscienccs, signifies our deter
mination to be heroic and virtuous.-
Cubans, on your heroism rely foi
the consummation of our independence
and on your virtue l count to consoli.

Quesada closed his proclamation to
the Cuban army, thus: "We have to
combat with the assassins OF old wo-
men and children, with the mutilators
OF the dead and with idolators of gold.
Cubans, if you would save yonr honor
and that of your families, if you would
conquer forever your liberty, be sol
diers. The war leads you to peace and
happiness. Inertia precipitates YOU
