CABINET MEETING.
OHbITNEI WEE IINN.
THE APPOINTMENT OF THE TARIFF CoMMIs-

THE APPOINTMEHT OF The COMAlS-
SION DISCUSSED.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The cabinet had
a protracted session to-day, devoted to the
proposed tariff commission. All the mem
bers were present, except the postmaster
general. Several names were favorably con-
sidered in connection with the commission,
but none decided upon, and it is understood
none will be until enough names have been
favorably considered to complete the list,
when the commission will be appointed as
whole. In the course of the discussion, the
fact was brought out that Ex-Secretary
Kirkwood is, for constitutional reasons, not
eligible TO appointment as a tariff commits
sioner, since he was elected Senator in the
Congress which finally passed the bill Great
ing a commission. Were it not for this fact,
his appointment would, it is thought, be
assured. Among the many persons whose
names have been under consideration, Fran
els ]. Walker, ex-superintendent of the CEN
sus; Henry w. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, and
John L. Hayes, of Massachusetts,, are
thought to have the best chance of appoint
ment.

WHY THE DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO CONSIDER
THE MAcKEY-o'coNNER CASE.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The reasons of
the Democrats for declining discussion, in
the House, of the Mackey O'Conner cleo
ton contest, are stated by leading members
of the party, among them Representatives
Carlisle and Randall, in the following
words: "There are two questions involved
first, forgery of testimony; second, the
right to. seat under the rules of the
House. If the Democrats consent to the
consideration of the case, the Republicans
will seat Mackey by party vote, without
investigating the forgery. The Democrats
are ready to consider appropriation bills
and other public measures, but will not con-
sent to try this case until after full inyes-
tigation of the forgery"

SPRISGFIELD, Ill, May 23.-The Presby-

The majority and minority reports on the
subject of home missions occupied the Assem-

the adoption of the msjority report. The
m after was finally disposed OF by adopting
those parts of the reports upon which there
was an agreement between majority and mi
nority, and referring the remainder TO a
special committee to report to the next Gen
eral Assembly.

UxpEK the old ely charter, the deale

UNDER the old city charter, the dealers
in scrip, ledger balances, mardamuses and
bonds-by an amendment to that instrument
which had been procured without the peo-
pies conseni-were able to pay their back
the city. The result wa, it was found
cheaper not to pay taxes promptly, and to
force the police, 6remen and laborers en-
ployed by the city, because there was no
money in the treasury, TO take ecrip in pay
ment of their wages, which their, necessities
compelled them TO sell as low as foriy-fye
cents on its face value. This scrip, pur-
chased at this rate, was turned into the city
in payment Of taxes, dollar for dollar, and
the poor, hard-workipg and honest men en-
ployed by the city were thus forced to pay
the taxes of delinquent properly owners.
The bill which Governor Hawkins signed on
Saturday, in hot haste, it is believed upon
the representation of clique, certainly not
upon the representations of the people or
press Of the Taxing District, is bill for the
relief Of delinquent taxpayers, just as the
amendment to the old city charter was, which
allowed the same elass to live upon the sweat
and agony of the laboring men of the city.

THE sCAlDALoUs CHRONICLE AND THE NEW
DIVORCE BILL.
All tie fdtI mendges of Paris are in a hut-
ter of settlement at present in consequence
of the imminent passage of the divorce bill
The settlement is by no means of such
joyfa character in some cases as might be
supposed. A number OF erring Benedicts are
loohng very blank at the prospect of being
caled upon to legitimize their lidsioas with
thebeauties of the Quarter Breda, and "Mon-
siur Alphonse" is decidedly detected by the
tirn things seem to be taking. i am much
mistaken if the passage of this divorce bill
slll not reunite more wives and husbands
than it will separate.
Talking of this, the Marquis and Marquise
de Verroubonneuil have applied for legal
Each accuses the other OF in
fidelity. The most piquant part of the affair
is that both are verging on sixty. NJ. le
Marquis thinks that Madame Ia Marquise
went astray in the two senses OF the phrase with
a young linen draper named Adrien during
a pious pilgrimage to the renowned grotto Of
Lourdes. Madame, on the other hand ac-
cuses her sexagenarian spouse of being over
marked in his attentions to certain ladies
not in society. A curious point in the case
is that the delinquencies, real or fanciful, of
both the marquis ana marquise, have been
supplied byia 6fteen-year-old collegian, their
nephew. This promising young scamp had

uncle and aunt by denouncing them to each

Malaria,

Ihere is so much ignorance upon the
subject OF malaria that few words are
in order at a time when people are sub
ject to malarial influences. Malaria,
which means simply bad air, is the COM
mon name OF class Of diseases which
commonly arise from spores Or decaying
vegetable matter, either rising from
5tagnant pools or piles of vegetation I'M
dergoing decomposition. These spores
when inhaled with the breath or taken
INTO the system with water soon enter
the blood, and terminating there find a
foothoid, whence the whole system is
poisoned by them, and the various
functions disordered. When the germ
theory of disease was first exploited it
was supposed that these spores were of
animal nature, and like the bacteria in
diphtheria were prop gated in the blood,
but they are now conceived to be of veg
etable origin, like the fungi found on
decaying wood or in cellars. The source
of tins state of the air is generally stag
nant pools OF swamps, which, partially
dried by the hot sun, send forth vapors
loaded with this malarial poison. These
vapor5 descend to the earth in the night
cooled by the loss Of temperature, and
breathed by sleepers are readily inhaled.
Hence persons living near stagnant
pools or marshes are liable to be afflicted
with chills and fever, and such localities
are never healthy, though they are more
so when the water is high. Again, the
drainage of houses, slaughter houses,
barns, ETC., are fertile source of mala-
ria As a general rule the drainage of
tanneries in consequence of the lime
used and the tannin IN the water, is not
to Objectionable as other drainage.
Usually houses on the bluffs or hills are
but little subject to malaria, because
they are above the poisoned vapors when
they settle IN the cooler air of night.
One will often notice when coming into
the ncighborhood of one of these slug
gish streams that pass through almost
every village, a most villainous smell,
caused by the offensive refuse which
communicates its bad odor to the atmos-
phere, especially on hot days. This
absorbed into the system by the lungs
or taken in through water, which also
absorbs it from the air, poisons the
blood and deranges the whole system.
This poison is also developed in force in
wells and springs when they become
low, and the result Of drinking these is
the same as breathing the poisonous air.
In time of drought the great quantity
of vegetation that dries up in the mead
ows, stubble fields and pastures, the
corn-felds and forest leaves produce the
same efiuvia. On the prairie. when
large tracts of prairie ground are turned
over, the decaying vegetation is wide
spread cause of malaria. It will be no
ticed that when there is along
drouth in the late summer and fall there
is always an abundance Of malaria, and
is very common at such times.
