SOMETIMES cold will not yield to or
binary remedies, because of the severe
inflammation Of the delicate lining Of
the tubes through which the air we
breathe is distributed to the lungs.
This obstruction produces pain and sore
ness, hoarseness, cough, difficulty OF
breathing, hectic fever, and splitting OF
blood, matter or phIegm, finally ex-
hausting the strength of the patient,
and developing very serious disease
DR.. Jaync's Expectorant seldom fails to
relieve these symptoms by relieving tho
lungs of all obstfucting matter, and
healing all soreness. Pleurisy, asthma,
and bronchitis, are likewise cured by
this standard remedy, and the reputa-
ton it has maintained for over thirty
years affords the best guaranty of its
merits. Sold everywhere. mwks

South Minnesota Railroad Seized
FYTrDy the Employee. AFA Isl|f

wi " u
DUBUoUE, a., January ls.-The en-
ployes on the South Minnesota railroad
have virtually seized the road for nom
payment Of back pay. 1t appears that
when Randall Thompson, the President
Of the road, was ousted by the courts of
St. Paul the road was placed in the
hands OF receiver, McLeath to satisfy
the stockholders The company was
largely in arrears with its pay rolls and
owed many Of the men for six months
work, who were clamorous for their pay.
The new receiver had no authority to
settle any debts of the company con-
tracted previous to his appointment
Not instructed that he could pay
them. the employees quit to man, and
refused to do another stroke until their
wages were forthcoming, and have sent
circulars all along to notify the public
generally that travel on the road will
not be permitted, and those who choose
that mode Of conveyance will do so at
their peril. The circular forbids eng-
neers to run locomotives, aud is eonched
in threatening language throughout.
The result has been that the road has
virtually stopped operations. To-day
orders were issued to the agents along
the fine 10 arrest any men attempting to
interfere with the running Of trains. 1t
is intended to run trains as usual to-
night, but it is highly probable that they
will meet with some trouble.

An Awkward Con,rc,emps.

A most painful and puzzling Incl
dent occurred ON Friday night ut
Arbroath, when Mr.. Baxter addressed n
meeting Of his constituents In the pub
lie hall ut that plnce on the state of
political affairs. The proceedings
opened by few Introductory remarks
by Provost Muir who Occupied the
chair, and Mr., Baxter was about 70 be-
yin, when n iluX-dresser in the hall
called attention TO the extraordinary
iact that not only the address Mr..
Baxter was aboAi TO deliver but also
the proYost's Introductory remarks
had already appeared In an Edinburgh
paper published on the same day,
which had in fact pcrmaturcly printed
u full account of the proceedings, thus
rendering It unnecessary for Mr. Baxter
TO TAKE the trouble to address his con-
stituents. Mr.. Baxter however, un-
disturbed by tho uproar that followed
this announcement, delivered his
address without offering any eXplann-
ton of the mystery referred to; but
unfortunately, when he had concluded,
up jumped n bill-pOster and inquired
Of the speaker how it happened that
Mr.. Bakers speech appeared IN the
Daily Review before it was delivered,
with cheers, loud applause, and every
thing else2,- IL was impossible To
believe that Mr.. Baxter himself could
have furnished that Journal with II
copy of the undelivered speach, for
''h0w,n asked the bill-posier, with not
unnatural curiosity, "could he know
that the inhabitants Of Arbroath Were
10 receive him with cheers and loud
applause" aud here the speaker hand
ed TO Mr.oBaXter himself the miracu-
l0us report which occasiOncd so much
bewildcrnent. Mr.. BaXter's oXplaua"
ton leavesthe mystery still unraveled.
He had, he said, written Il consider
able portion of speech, but not
exactly the same speach he had deliv-
cred that night, and sent ii to n news
paper office in the county, but how it
got into print Oh Friday, instead OF
Saturday, he could not for the life of
him say. AS to the appearance Of the
provost's Introductory remarks he
could give no explanation, and on the
subject of the "cheers and applause"
he was silent. The whole thing was,
he said San awkward contretemps,"
and there can be no doubt that on this
point MIR. baxter was perfectly correct.

Proposed Change In the Constitution.

The Senate committee on Privileges
and Elections, at their recent confer
ence in New York, discussed the ques-
ton of the abolition of Electoral Col
leges, and n complete change in the
mode of elccting the President and
Vice-President. The plan deliberated
upon was that the people vote directly
for the candidates; that each State
shall he divided into as many districts
as the State is entitled to representa-
tives in Congress, to be composed of con
tiguous territory, compact in form, and
as nearly equal in population as may
be, and the person having the highest
number ofvotes for President in each
district shall receive the vote of that
district, which shall count one Presi-
Dental vote; that each State shall be
entitled to two Presidential voters at
large, which shall he counted for the
person having the highest number of
votes IN the whole State; that persons
having the highest number Of such
Presidential votes In the United States
shall be Presidentand Vice PRESIDENT
