The RETURNS from the municipal
election, yesterday, should convey
another warning to the voters OF this
city. Only about one third of the
taxpayers thoughtit worth their while
to cast their ballots. 1t will be strange
if the taxpayers are not caught nap
piRg one of these days. It would not
have been very difficult matter, yes
terday, had there been much serious
objection to the Peoples ticket, TO
have suddenly rallied at the polls
formidable opposition. Everybody
should be interested enough in the
municipal government 10 vote for
somebody, and not leave ths matter
of selecting officers to the few.

Newcastle, Notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather an enormous
crowd gathered to witness the Boyd
Elliott boat race to-day. Rain and
sleet fell throughout the contest.
Boyd was the favorite in betting. 6 to
4. A fair start having been made.
Boyd Immediately drove his boat 10
the front and led by about one length
in the first forty yards, Elliott, VINO
started badly, then settled down 10
work, and when a quarter OF q mile
had been traversed, Boyd only led by
quarter of q length. Boyd again
spurted, and showing o decidedly
superior pace, led by two lengths at
Red Heugh bridge, half a mile from
the start. The race from this point
was practically over. Boyd, when a
little over two miles had been ira
versed, increased his lead to eight
lengths, and afterwards settled down
to an easy swing of thirty-two strokes
to the minute, and contented himself
with keeping three lengths ahead for
the remainder of the distance, until
nearing the suspension bridge, when
he spurted, passing under it four
lengths ahead. Time: Boyd, % AZ;
Elliott, %.

Why Will You

Allow cold to advance in your sys.
tenn and thus encourage more serious
malsdieg, such as Pneumonia, Hem
orrhages snd Lung lee, when an
immediate relief can be so readily
attained. BOschee's German Syrup
has gained the larges. sale in the
world for the cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung Diseases. Il
is DR.. Boschee's famous German pre-
seription, and is prepared with the
greatest care, and 10 fear need be
entertained in Administering it to the
Youngest child. as per directions.
The sale of this medicine is unprece-
dented. Since FIST introduced there
has been q constant increasing de-
mand, and without a single report oil
a failure 10 do its work in any case.
Ask your Druggist ss to the truth Of

Washington, o. Resolutions by the
Louisiana legislature favorable to
Spoford, were introduced and ordered
printed.
Logan, from the military com.
mittee presented the minority report
on the bill for the relief OF Fi,z John
Porter. Tabled.
Davis, Illinois, spoke on the bill
reviying the court of commissioners
on the AlQJamG claims. He said
50, 500, 800 of tine SIS, 5G0, 900 awarded
by the Geneva tribunal remains in
the United States treasury. He argued
that by tae principle marine insur
anCe Law underwriters, who have
identified the owDers Of vessels for
losses, become entitled to all the pro-
ceeds Rlterward recovered, whether
from the sea, from capture or from
justice of foreign states, from the
property ca which the insurance vas
paid.
Edmunds wished to express bis
admiration for the very exhaustive and
ingenious argument Of the senator
from Illinois, Davis, in favor of
insurance companies, bat he hoped
every senator would examine the sui
ject on all its sides before reversing
the former action of Congress, exclud-
ing insurance claims, except the total
war losses exceeded the war profits;
which action was taken after q full
and careful consideration of the sub
ject.
Blaine desired to protest, in the |
name of his constituents and in the
name of justice on the very threshold
of the discussion Of this subject,
against the passage Of this bill. He
saw no legal basis of Justice Cd
which it rested. The men who
had gorged themselves on profts from
the misfortunes of their country.
men were now to be authorized to
thrust their hands into the treasury
IN order that their gains, already
exorbltsnt, may be made extravs-
CANT, and trightiully so, out OF the
money thst can DE paid them only
By 3 repeal of the statute enacted
after the most elaborate discussion
and mature consideration.
Garland supported the bill.
