who devotes his whole atten-

and lungs asserts that about
three-fourths of all throat dis
eases would get we'll by wear
ing very loose collars and neck

-ers would come ITO him for
thoat diseases and loss ofyOice,
and he would tear open their
cfavats and cure them with no
other treatment whatever: The
pressure of the collar on the
arteries Of the neck is very bad
for the health said he. He
also added; "If yo4 have a
disease of the throat let nature
do the curing and the physi-

Opposition majority in the
next house, reckon on six or
seven Conservative members
from Louisiana and Alabama.
We might remark that the peo-
pie of this state and Illinois;
believing that the federal pow
er will be employed to crush
out any true expression of the
popular will in Louisiana and
Alabama, have made up: their
minds to place about nine or
ten Opposition congressman Of
their own where they will do

Attorney General Williams

that the policy by which they
hoped to prevent the election
Of say six Conservative Con-
gressmen in Louisiana and
Alabama, has rendered certain
the election Of four additional
Opposition members in Mis-
souri, and all the way from six
to ten in Illinois. It is safe to
say that for every Conserva=
tive candidate who may be de-
feated by the federal dragons
in the South six will be elected
in the North. It is alittle late
to make any suggestions, but

There never was a time when In the
