The cause of temperance finds some OF
its most insidious and dangerous foes in
the many so-called ''tonics'' and "appetiz-

these. They are not a beverage, but gem

This evening an affray took place in
front of the Imperial Hotel, between
Gen. Jones of West Virginia and Col.
Calvin Sayre of Alabama. Jones. who
was standing at the hotel steps, was at
tackled by Sayre with a heavy cane.
Blows were exchanged, and Jones had
his left wrist broken. He wrested the
cane from Sayre and, with his right
hand, returned the blows. Col. johnson.
a friend of both, separated the parties
for short time, but no one else assist
ing, he was unable to keep them apart.
and they renewed the contest with
pocket knives. Jones received a severe
cut across the forehead and several on
the face. Sayre received severe cash
across the throat and stabs in the abdo-
men. During the fight they threw each
other to the ground repeatedly They
were finally separated, but in an ex-
hausted condition, Jones being too weak
to reach home he was taken to a cham
Der in the hotel. Sayre was carried
home. Both Immediately received sur
gical attendance.

THE KANSAS SENAToRsHIP.-The res
olution of the committee on privileges
and elections reported by Senator Nor
ton, giving them the power to go to
Kansas to take testimony during the re-
cess, was necessary from the fact that
the committee has no evidence whatever,
up to this time, regarding the charges
against Senator Pomeroy. The commit
tee has received official copies of the
testimony taken by the Kansas legisla
ture on the subject and proposes now to
enjoy a summer trip west and attend to
business at the same time. 1t is mis-
take, says Washington correspondent,
to denounce the trip as a piece of eXtrava-
gan iunketing tor the reason that
the travelling expenses Of the committee
viii be less than the millage of witnesses
to and from Washington.

Now, that we have rail connection

of dollars a year more, counting time

that a farm in Michigan is preferable to
one in Illinois or Iowa. Wheat is worth
10 cents more here than in Illinois, and
probably go cents more than in central
Iowa There are two reasons for this
difference One is, that our wheat is
winter wheat, theirs is spring wheat,
and another is in the difference, in our
favor, in transportation to the eastern
