PRESENTATION TO THE MAYOR.
An Elegant Watch Given to the Mayor by
the Council Board.

An Elegant Watch Given to the Mayor by
the Council Board.
After the Council and Board OF Aldermen had
Pearson, Alderman Layman, in response to the
inquiry eff there was any business to come be-
fore the joint meeting2" addressed the mayor,
stating that it had been thought proper that tho
two bodies should come together and briefly
view their work. The review was briefly brief,
for Mr.. Layman at once drifted into few
rambling remarks, alluding to some of the ques-
lions which had figured most cOnspicuOusly in
the city legislation, and ended with an ex
preston OF the high esteem ana warm regard
of the members of the two legislative
bodies for Mayor Grubbs. AT this point in his
remarks the Aldermans right hand was OBJ
serbed TO disappear beneath mis- coat-tails, and
gold watch was produced, which was presented
to he Maynras a testimonial of the esteem in
which he was held by the members Of the two
bodies.
Mayor Grubbs, in response, stated that the
testimonial or regard was SO unexpected that he
found it difficult to express his feelings. The
intrinsic value of the testimonial was lost sight
of in the qualification which he experien ced in
realizing that he possessed the confidence and
esteem of those with whom he had been assOci-
ated in official life. He spoke briefly of the
work of the Council and Aldermen during their
control of The city affairs, and declared they had
administered the trust cOnhded to them in an hon
est manner, and economy had been practiced in
every department." Good government has also
been maintained, many reforms have been
brought about, and to-day our city occupies a
position, both morally ana financially, of which
every one Of you may feel proud" The Mayor,
in conclusion, said that he had uniformly striven
to be fair and impartial in his intercourse with
members of the Council and board, and that on
the approach of the end of their official relations
he found 1t difficult and painful TO say good
bye"

The Protection of Citizenship in the South
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
have been II regular reader of The Daily
Journal for more than twenty years. During
all the long years that have passed since the
corded the outrages that have been perpetrated
on innocent people in the South, for no other
reason than for being Republicans.
The thought comes to me, how long, o Lord
how long is this to continue in free
republican government, where every voter
has right to feel that he has a right
to vote for the man of his choice?
The constitution says the United States shall
guarantee to each State q republican form of
government. The constitution says State
shah make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities OF citizens
of these United States, nor shall any State de-
prive any person of life. liberty property with
out due process of law, nor deny TO any person
in its jurisdiction, the equal protection of law
The president of tho United States has taken an
oath to support the constitution and TO enforce
the laws. He Is also commander -in-chef of the
army ana navy, also has command of
State militia when in service. With
all this great power in his hands
how does it happen that BOurbuns in the South
can butcher cOlored voters at will and still go
unhung2 There never was "A mau that had "A
better opportunity to 1mmOrtallze his name and
his administra than President Arthur has
at this time, If he would use all the power at his
command to give the people of the south their
rights under the constitution and laws. 1t
would be better to arm the cOlOred voters of the
South ana train them to defend themselves than
to let things 60 the way they have been going
In the Southern States. The people have laid
too great a sacrifice the altar of their country
to allow rebels again 20 rule by force.

1t is reported that General Charles Paine, gen.
eral manager of the New York, West Shore e.
Buffalo, has resigned his position on account OF
ill health caused by overwork. Mr.. Paine is con-
ceded to be one of the ablest railroad managers

the Lake Shore d Michigan Southern. About
three years ago he assumed the position of gen
eral manager OF the West Shore and has ever
since had charge Of the construction OF that

has been built will stand a lasting monument
to Mr.. Paine's ability, Judgment and efficiency.
But he has accomplished the work at the sacrl-
flee of his health.

tha, if the r. K. company would fur
nish the iron, they, the Kicker Factory,

The Wabash would not do this. The
result is that the C. B. & X. c. did all
the shipping foi the Kicker Factory,
except little local freight. Such man.
agement is sure to result in bob-tail

Treatment of Snake Bites,

A West Virginia physician sends to
the Medical Ne,cs q statement regarding
the treatment of snake bites that seems
to be of great value. He cites two in
stances in his own practice in which bad
cases of venom-poisoning by copperhead
oites were quickly relieved by the use
Of iodine, both hexternally and internally.
The method is to paint the wound with
compound tinctue OF iodine and give
internally fifteen drops in a third of Il
glass of water, repeating the dose with
len drops in one hour and then at inter-
vals of three hours. Relief was expe-
rienced in half an hour, and complete
cure rapidly effected in both cases. The
writer has never had an opportunity to
Try the effect of a treatment in case of
rattlesnake bite, but as the venom of
The rattlesnakc and the copperhead act
similarly in most respects, there seems
40 reason to doubt that the effect would
oe as etficacious in the one case as in
the other. The peculiarly in the treat
ment lies in the internal use of iodine.
Physicians in the west can easily try the
cemedy when harvest time comes and
the usual number of rattlesnake bites
are reporte. among tie binders. Aside
from the horrible pain and suffering
caused by snake-bite, it also frequently
leaves the victim with permanent and
lnsightly swellings and enlargements
of the stricken member. This. the iod-
ne cure seems to prevent.
