The debate on the payment to Southern mail contractors of amounts due them at the breaking out of the war, showed the value of the Confederate archives, bought by our gov ernment some years since. In the course of the debate Mir. Reagan of Texas, former Con- federate Postmaster General, denied that these men had ever received pay from the Confeder ate government. It appeared on examination of his own reports as Postmaster General of the defunct Southern administration, that these contractors had their pay in full from the Confederate government.

The New Charter Oak charter had narrow escape in the Senate, last week. It received important amendments, and has yet to pass the ordeal of the House. We are inclined to believe with Bromley of the Tribune that the whole system which allows few stockholders absolute control of interests upon which de- pend the safety of the millions due policy holders, is radically wrong. The other compa- nies organized on that plan may be solvent now, but nobody knows how soon they will fall into the hands of such men as plundered the Charter Oak. The legislature ought to provide some very thorough plan of examination and supervision for these companies. The propos- ed charter of the Charter Oak company is made the special order in the House for We'd nesday of this week.

The resolution allowing the Old Nineteenth the use of their flags at the September reunion was rejected by the Senate; but, after . stir ring speech by Representative Andrews, pass ed the House unanimously. The Courant ex- plains the ground of the opposition to this use of the flags as follows:
 Most of the flags are now badly tattered and cannot be unrolled without damage, It is the intention when the new state house is done to have them safely arranged in the rotunda, be- hind glass doors, after the manner of those in the state house at Boston. It is easy to see that if the request of one regimen tai association is granted it will be more diffi- cult to refuse other applications, and the only safe way is torefuse all And every sensible old soldier will recognize the fact that the re- fusal is in theinterest of the flag which he loves.
 And yet there is much force in the argument that the old regiments are entitled to the use of their old flags; especially when, as was the case with the Nineteenth Regiment, they were the present of lady lMH. Wm. Curtis Noyes), to the Regiment and not to the state,

AN ASTONISHING FAoT.-A large propor- tion of the American people are today dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually burden instead of pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try It's virtues with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy sample bottle for ten cents to try.

provement on the existing law, and certainly

provement on the existing law, and certainly ought to be authorized.
 The most important measure proposed, however, is the bill now lying on the table in the House. This fixes the penalty for breach of law, and imposes imprisonment on second conviction. It allows no appeal from the decision of the justice court, where the prisoner is allowed trial before jury. We are opposed to any such measure as this, re- stricting the defendant as it does to trial be- fore local court and jury. No doubt con- vietion is difficult in some counties before Su- perior Court juries-though not in this coun- ty we are happy to say. Setting aside the or dinary safeguards of justice has been one of the chief sins of Prohibition. The best cause will succumb under such processes, which, in effect, do evil in the hope that good may come. Such hopes will always be disappoint- ed.
 The Bethel and Holland water company charters have been amended in the particulars objected to by. the governor, and passed again. Senate, and will no doubt go through the House, this week. On examination it appeared that the State was receiving more from taxes than was really needed for expenditures, and that the lowering of the savings bank tax would not embarass the state finances. There is no denying, also, that the State tax on Savings Banks is double tax on property that is least able to bear such an imposition
 The Woman Suffrage Committee have re- ported bill giving women paying taxes on not less than $500 the right to vote in town, and school district meetings Seven of the nine members of the committee favor the bill, and we have strong hopes of it's passage. Nsv- ertheless justice has been 50 long delayed here tofore that we should not be surprised at an adverse vote in either or both houses The measure proposed is woman suffrage in it's most conservative lorna form already adopt ed in conservative Old England, and one that it is strange to see denied in what is usually considered radical New England. The only reasonable objection to the bill is that it does not go far enough; but wehope the friends of women's progress, and of clean politics, will take what they can get and trust to future leg islatures for further extensions.

one is able to be on his feet and likely
to recover though he and his comrade

THE WEATHER
AT CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 18.-A delightful
change in the weather and tempera-
ture occurred during the early hours
of the morning. and the thermometer
now registers from 70 to so degrees
with strong breeze blowing fresh
from the lake, and there are prospects
of little further uncomfortable
weather. Final reports show that
Yesterdays fatal cases of sunstroke in
Chicago were much more numerous
than on any preceding day. Thirty
one deaths have been reported, and
thirty y-three cases more or less seri-
Gus. The following are the names
not reported last night: August Buhe,
Mrs. Robinson, Adolph Weckzell,
Christina Koutz, Mrs. Davenport,
Thos. Mullay, Madelin Schulz, an
unknown laborer ON 32d street, Hem
ry Holz, Albert Kaloff, N. Stiffen,
Jerry Lynch, Henry Swallboch, and
Mrs. Sophia Kapfe. Besides these
there are some twenty whose recov-
cry is considered doubtful.
The Erening journal says the po-
lice reports show 50 sunstrokes on
Tuesday and Yesterday, of which %
were fatal. This does not, however,
include more than two-thirds, per-
haps not more than half of eli the
cases, as many persons were prostrat-
ed at their homes and such were not
reported at the stations. The follow
ing additional deaths from yester.
days sunstrokes are reported to-day :
John Lass, Lavina Kleinenbog,
Mrs. Lint, Mrs. Robinson, Paul My
ers, Adolph Merksill, Mrs. Mary
Morgan, Mrs Tracy, Nicholas Steffen
and WIN. Hobbs. At two O'Clock Q
cool lake breeze was blowing. No
cases ofsunstroke have been reported
as having occurred to-day. and the
thermometer is falling a trifle each
hour.

weaver Caught on tho Fly.
Monroe Mirror

1t will be remembered that Gen.
Weaver, in his speech at this place,
read from the secretary of the treasu-
ry's report, to prove that in twelve
years there had been over 1886, ,OOO,-
900 Of currency destroyed by the gov
eminent, and laid great stress upon
having the official documents to show
that what he said way true, and dared
any republican to deny. Now we are
in possession of the same report, and
let us just show you how this dema-
gogue tried to deceive his hearers.
BY reference to the same page of ex-
actly the same report that Weaver
read from, that the amount of curren-
cy he claimed was destroyed, was ac-
tually burned, but we also find that it
was na,aiidted currency which was de-
stroyed, and that ne,c notes acre issued
ia, their stead, for ereyy dollar Of this
nautilated currency. He attempted to
make his hearers believe there was
actually that amount of money retir-
ed. Did erer a candidate for office
practice such demagoguery? A pretty
candidate for the high position of con-
gresham? These reports are at this
Office and open to the inspection of
any who desire to see them. What is
the use of such dishonesty as Weaver
is practicing?

VOLUME 30.

the evening of June 10Th last, he said;
eNow you see If you are in favor ol
national banks-of the national bank
system, you are in favor of a perpetu
alton of the national debt, fastening il
upon you and your posterity forever.
There is nothing to prevent such a re-
suit as that. The party that wants IL
must go under, unless you are willing
to surrender your liberties. You are
not willing to bend your backs and re-
ceive the English system which builds
up nabob oppression and penury and
want. If you want the English sys-
tenn, a permanent national debt, and
an untaxed aristocracy, you will vote
the republican ticket; Otherwise you
will vote against it. And this is what
is now before the people that issue
is before the peOple-whether the ma
tiOn wishes legal tender money, or
national bank money; whether you
will pay off this national debt or leave
it for your pOsterity."
But how does Weaver propose to
pay the bonds? Well, he don't fol-
low Dean in a plan of issuing certifi-
Gates for the pro rata allowed the
creditor on settlement, but he says as
we have heretofore published, that
we have ever so many hundred mil
lions of bonds and he would pay them
off with greenbacks. There appears
to be a kind of kindred financial meth
cd between Dean and Weaver. Both
would arrive at the same result and
would both be reputation.

1t seems to us the Davenport Gazette
would have better made out its de-
fense of Hayes against the arraign-
ment of the Iowa platform if it had
not published that Atlanta speech.
According to the Gdzette's own show
ing Hayes said this to his hearers
there: "Well, having learned how to
ride and shoot, it was a case of fight
ing between Greek and Greek
when Greek meets Greek you
know what the conflict Is. Cheers J
And more than that, you know ex-
actly how it will terminate. That
party in that fight will always con-
quer that has the most Greeks
daughter and cheers. So with no
discredit to you and no special credit
to us, the war turned out as it did. y
Gate city.
That is precisely SO. Our judgment
may be at fault; we lay no claim to
infallibility, but we want to say that
the sentiments expressed in the above
language of Mr.. Hayes are totally at
variance with patriotism or plainly
indicative of a want Ofcommon sense.
We are as fully impressed with the
correctness of this view of the case as
we are of the existence of the burning
sun at midday in this heated term.

Witness refused, because his first ev-
idence was true. Dula wanted wit
ness to talk with Weber, saying Web
er promised him $500 to testify.
Witness was afraid to return to Fe-

Witness detailed the murder of John
Gair and other acts of violence. He

GALEsBURe, ILL.,, July ia case
of abortion was brought to light in
this city, this afternoon. The facts
are briefly Is follows: About week
ago young lady Of fine appearance
came to this city and registered at
the Browne Hotel under the name OF
Annie Everb, of Pittsburg, Pa. She
occupied one of the best rooms, and
paid for her board in advance. This
morning she was found in her room
terribly sick. DIR. M. Hermann was
called, who made an examination,
and discovered that an abortion had
been performed upon her, and that
she was in critical condition. He
questioned her closely, but che refus-
ed to reveal anything. As . last re-
sort he told her that she was going to
die and had better tell oil. She then
informed those in attendance that her
name was Annie Nichols, and that
she lived in Beatrice, Neb. she had
been sent here by William Franks, of
that place, and that DIR. E. 8. Cooper,
Of this city, had performed the ope-
ration. DR.. Cooper is one of the old
est physicians in this section Of the

true it will lead to considerable COM
motion.
