The Torture of Oheck-Reins.

The severe beering.rein as used by
coachmen generally is nothing more nor
less than horrible and needless torture
to the poor suffering horse-torture
while in harness, and the cause Of inter
nal maladies when he is put back into
his stall for food and supposed rest. II
there is one thing more opposed to
natural health than another IL Is the in.
creased production and then the waste
Of the saliva which is so necessary to
the functions of the body. Who ever
saw horse in field foaming at the
MOUTH Who ever saw properly .bitted
hunter do so when ridden to hounds in
an easy bit and obedient to light handy
never saw it, nor do | think that any
one else has ever seen 1t; therefore, to
begin with, the position of the carriage
horses head, gagged with a bearing
rein, out of place, and that profusion of
saliva ever falling from the mouth, must
show something essentially wrong. The
perpetually tossing head arises from the
fevered state of the poor animal, and
his consequent attempts to get rid Of an
irritating intliction, and not from the
vulgar idea Of u fiery wish to be put in
action. OF this l am certain, that the
less artificial constraint you put into a
horses mouth the better. The less you
incumber his graceful limbs with lum-
Der in the shape of harness the better.
The freer you keep his limbs and his
respiratory organs the longer he will
serve you, and the greater will be the
labor he will perform for you. Grant.

Oregon's Vote.

The report of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections, charged with
the investigation of the Oregon electoral
vote, answers every position taken by
Gov Grover in regard to the Cronin case.
After reviewing the case In detail, the
report sums up with the following propo-
sitions:
First-Concedlng that Watts was lneligl.
BILE, the Governor OF the State had no juris-
diction TO decide this, and all his action in
the premises was void.
SecOnd-That the question OF Watts lneii-
gibility was never raised before any eompe-
tent tribunal. He did not take his seat In
the college on the ground that he Was made
an elector by the votes OF the people, but In
consequence OF his election by majority Of
the college, and therefore his vote cannot
now be questioned.
Third-Under the laws OF Oregon the elect.
ors present on the day Of the meeting OF the
college may ill any vacancies occasioned by
death, refusal to act, neglect 10 attend or
otherwise. Therefore, admitting for argu-
ment, but not as fact, that the election
by the people was void, the college had full
authority To MI the vacancy
FOurth-The Governors certificate on It's
face shows that two Republican electors
were chosen. These were a majority OF the
college, and the only ones contemplated by
the law TO MI Vacancy. Their record OF
the proceedings OF the college is the
only one admissible, and 1t shows that
CrOnin did not attend the meeting or par
tcipate In its proceedings; that be set him.

gusting to himself as to others. And the
most humiliating Of all is the consciousness .
that his presence Is offensive to those around
him. II any disease deserves the name of

with Christian reason. God has never sent
one evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy. For the greatest of all
spiritual and moral evils, the Great Physician
has prescribed potent and never-failing
remedy. He has given explicit rules
for the treatment and preservation
OF the spiritual and moral man, but
He is silent in all matters relating to the
physical man. 1t would be an unwarranta.
Bile detraction from His benefcent character
to suppose that He has afflicted the greater

than remedies for his iRfrmities. Science is
rapidly proving that the earth is fitted to

cinal plants are constantly being discovered
and new properties developed from those al
ready known. For Catarrh, the most potent
remedy yet discovered is DR.. Sage's Catarrh

Large and Small Fowls as Layers.

not all the superiority over small ones
that we sometimes claim for them. The
smaller breed of fowl are, l incline to
think, more frequent layers. Big fowls
have large frames, and tendency to lay
on flesh. They consume a great deal of
food, and, like our pigs, the more we feed
them the more lazy do they become, II
we wish flesh, then the food makes Hesh.
II we wish a large.sized egg, theh only
the larger fowl can give it to us. Il like
the large breeds go well, they are SO easily
restrained, they have so docile diaposi-
tion, they show up so weldon the platter,
as well as when following the grasshOp-
per on the mowings; and their eggs are so
large and inviting that do not feel like
discarding them. Their merits are of a
substantial sort. cannot forget, how.
ever, that during this cold season my
fowls are taking rest from laying, that
my hens are eating their fill every day,
and are like people who are fresh from

are giving him eggs in exchange for food
and care. He gets small eggs-I get
large ones; but he has more than per

over few days OF cold spell they are

warm sunshine, and their intervals OF
nonlaying seem not so prolonged. The

Mr.. Merrlck were very able, and that Of
MIR. Evarts was brilliant piece of
eogent reasoning and searching, COM
pact statement. Both gentlemen gave
great prominence to the element of time
in the process of election. The Consti.
tuition of the United States gives to each
State q power of appointment of electors
for a specific duty, to be performed on a
fixed day, In order to accomplish the
election of President and Vice.P President,
which must, in its turn, be completed by
determined period. The exercise of
the power of the State must antedate the
time when the duty of the electors is to
be performed. In case of an accidental
failure to appoint, that failure may be
remedied, but IL must be before the time
fixed for casting the votes. After that
day the electoral vote passed into the
custody of the nation, into the urn of
the United States" as Mr.. Evarts puts it,
If the State were allowed to review 1t, or
delay 1t, not the State alone but the
whole nation must suffer. II the title of
the electors can be questioned by pro.
ceedings which cannot be concluded be-
fore the day appointed to cast the vote,
then any mist prius court in any State
can interfere to break up, defer, change
and defeat the election of President.
Again, If, after the vote has been cast, it
can be called back from the national
capital and reviewed, and possibly an.
nulled, then the election is still in the
hands of local courts. Nor is it to be
admitted that the State, acting by its
Legislature, can change the machinery
by which the vote Of the electors is to be
verified and reported, as was attempted
by the Legislature of Florida. The only
safe rule was yesterday laid down: Who
ever is found, on the day when the Fed
eral law, made in pursuance of the Con-
stitution, requires the vote to be cast,
with all the insignia provided by the
State as fixing the title to the office of
elector, must perform that office. Hav.
ing performed it, there must be no fur
ther or other proceeding in the matter
The State has spoken.
In the case of Florida this rule estab.
fishes absolute justice. The vote of the
Hayes electors was not only the legal
vote of the State, but it agreed with the
popular vote. 1t was the actual voice
of the State. To refuse to the Democrats
the right to question and reverse that
vote is not to refuse them the right to
correct an error or defeat wrong. 1t
is to refuse them the power 20 commit
wrong. Happily the requirements of
law are here those of the clearest and
most perfect justice. The Republican
counsel have confined themselves to
arguing the law, because the commits
sion is made to ascertain and adjudge
the law. But If it had been necessary to
go into the truth and very right" as
Mr.. O'Conor terms it, their arguments
would not have been less conclusive or
the Republican position less strongly
