to cure only certain disease, and furnishes
high proof that it does this. you can safely try

mary to adjournment. If the Governor
vetoes the bill he will continue the session

Ex-senator Spencer in replies to questions

ant business; that at the time he was SUBJ
pened he had come east for . short stay in
connection with important business in Nevada,
and that be came to Washington in answer
to . subpoena and remained for two weeks.
He will assert that he knew nothing that
would be of no value as evidence in the case
and that VIM. E. Chandler, on his behalf,
made statement to this effect to Mr.. Bliss
before Mr.. Spencer left Washington. M
Spencer says that the statement that he had
seen Dorsey pay money to Brady is false and
that he never to his recollection saw them
together. He will say that the star route in
vsstigations were cotton by his instigation
and that upon request of the postmaster gen.
eral he consented to remain in Washington at
his own expense and without any compen-
sation during his progress upon the conditi on
that he should not be known in the matter.
He will assert that he received the promise
of both President Garfield and Postmaster
James that his connection with the investi-
cations should not be known.

Henry Ward Beecher has come home
from his visit to Utah quite favorably i'm
pressed with the people and the country.
He thinks the Edmunds bill was a step in
the wrong direction for the roofing out Of
polygamy, and that mlder means would
accomplish more in the desired direction.
Perhaps Mr.. Beecher is right, but there
is strong feeling in the country that the
government has tried federation and mild
means to no purpose. and that a strong
hand will be required to overthrow the

The Tribune says Of Mr.. Blaine's recent

this pregnant question: Shall we tax
houses and lands in preference to whiskey !;
shall we abolish the tax on liquors, of
which no man need pay one cent unless he
chooses, or shall we abolish all direct
taxes for State and county purposes? The
democrats evidently prefer the side of the
lquor-dealer. The republicans can well
afford to take the other side of the farmer
and householder. 1t will be found more
popular as well as wiser to tax the bar
rooms than to tax the farms and the
