it is often associated with other
forms OF mental arrangement, and
is very apt, i'll connection with one
or more of these forms to be her
Idltary, even through several 'gen>
cratiuuS. While there is usually n
broad and palpable difference be
tN cen the vice and the mania. the
former may frequently become the

nervous -Saguine temperament, wO-
men being more liable to the MANS

THE coming fall campaign in
G ,lifornia will he one of the most
exciting ever held in the State.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
that last fall the Republicans could
have elected three Congressman
and perhaps four, as the Working
iugmen were then strong enough to
beat the Democrats The case is
altered now, and the parties will so
into the canvass with very different
prospects. The Chronicle thinks
that no means will be left untricd

The Chinese Bill.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
the Senate yesterday passed, by
a vote Of thlrty-nine 10 tweniy>
seven, the bill restricting Chinese
immigration, which had previously
passed the house. From the known
sentiments of the President upon
this question there is little doubt
that it will meet with his approval,
and speedily become IL law. Con-
gress has done well. While there
may be differences of opinion as 10
the exact prep iety Of the method
chosrn IN this case, the exigency
was snch AS clearly to justify the
means.
1t is a radical departure from our
traditional policy in the treatment
of the subjects OF foreign powers,
but the Chinaman is so radically
different from any other human be
ing that the rules applied in the
cases Of all other people are utterly
inappicable to him. The right to
quarantine against infectious dis
cases is admitted the right to
omar :ntine against human and
Locomotive pestilence should be as
universally recognized.
1t Is ii measure passed, not in re-
Spouse to the demands of Nero poll
ticianS, but in answer to the united
appeals of the suffering people of
the Pacific coast for relief from
terrible incubus which is weighing
them down. It is one bill passed
by Congress not in the interest of
the money power but for the pros
'ection of the working people, not
alone of California, but of the
whole country for unrestricted, it
would not be many years till our
laborers would be entirely supplaut-
ed by Cinnamon, as those OF Cali
fornia have been.

The Zulus, of South Africa, have
defeated a strong body of British
troops. and there is great excite
ment IN England over il. 1t ap
pears that the troops were enticed
away from their camp and attacked
by overwhelming numbers. But
the gallant Britishers were not
beaten until they had inflicted tres
mendou, loss on the Zulus, some
three or four thousand OF the latter
being killed aud wounded. The Gov
eminent has sent reiufurcements to
the amount of about seven thousand
men. Sad az Is the fact OF these
brave soldiers being massacred
thousands Of miles from their native
land by horde Of barbarians, the
question o5trutles itself, what BUSH
ness hal those troops in Africa any
wayl Alas! British greed is the
cause of it all. The soldiers can but
obey orders, bit when the brave
troops are sent away to such an in-
hospitable region, the Government
might at least be cIrefnl to send
with them competent and careful
officers who would take care to
guard against treachery and sur
prise. British wives and children
bands, fathers. sons and brothers
whose faces they will never see

forward fresh men to
take their places and run the same
risk. Thus British avarice pushes

Chalmers Fight.

A W ashington special to the New
Orleans Times of Feb. 10th, says
Since the river and harbor bill has
been completed and its provisions
are known 10 the country, here is
very great dissatisfaction with the
manner in which it is made up. For
instance, the harhor at Cleveland
gels an appropriation of 100000,
while New Orleans gets $4,000.
The Kentucky river gets 500, 900.
The Tennessee 1921 900, while the
Mississippi below Memphis gets
$4,000, the mouth OF Red river
$4,000, the Ouachita $40. 900 The
iIarbor at Memphis gets $4,000,
and that of Vicksburg 1927, 600.
But foI the heroic fight made by
Chalmers, the Yazoo would not
have had any appropriation; as it is,
it got $4,000. These things are
disgusting Southern Democrats
very much, particularly as in all the
Northern districts very liberal APP
preparations are made. Tic South>
ern delegations did what they
could, particularly those from
Louisiana and Mississippi, but
there seems determination to cut
off anything Southern.

Hon. Il. f. Jonas.
TnIay


We copy to-day piece from the
american Israelite, which seems to
be a sketch of the Hon. b. +. Jonas
lately elected to the u. s. Senate
from Louisiana. The writer seems
TO be well posted and speaks as one
having authority. Mr.. Jonas as we
bad expected, proves to be Of Jewish
extraction, bnt is none the less
efficient on that account. Some of
the greatest statesmen and most
profound jurists have been Jews,
and as living examples, we mention
the Earl OF Beacopsfield and Judah
p. Benjamin. The natural prOclivity
of the Jews is to merchandise, and
they nearly all pursue il as busi
ness, and when we find IL jew u
lawyer, doctor. or politician, we ex-
pect something superior, and are
not apt to be disappointed. Mr..
Jonas, although comparatively IL
young man, his been a prominent
man in New Orleans for Il mum Der
of years, and will not disappoint the
expectations of his many friends.

Ayers Ague Cure,


GUS, marsh, OF mlasmatic poisons.
This is q compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable Ingredients which
rarely fails TO cure the sererest cases OF Chilis
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
@ remedy the necev sites of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermttents is, that it contains no quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are Aee
from danger of qunism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using il rs before. Il
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, ana so unyarying has been its success
that hhas gained the reputation of being infal-
Hble. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. 1t countcracts the miasmatic poison
in tho blood and frees the system from its influ-
cnce, that fever and ag!e, shakes chls,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted,
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism. GHut, Headache, Blindncss,
Toothache, Earaci,e. Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitatiSn, Splenic Affections, II ysterics, Palm
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all (which become intcrmit-
tent OF periodical, have no speeGier remedy than
AYERS AGuE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
ontfy FIRST approach fthe prcmonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents
thus enabled to defy these disorders. and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidty,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity. and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
