ALARGE SIZED CLAIM.

Demand Made Oh the Secretary OF the
Treasury in Behalf OF the state OF Vir-
ginin.
A demand has been presented to the secre-
tary of the Treasury, on behalf of the state of
Virginia. by Judge w. Willoughby and +. L.
Alexander, representing said state, that the
secretary of the Treasury Of the United States
deposit with the treasurer of Virginia the
sum Of S732, 800, being the fourth installment
of the amount directed to be deposited by the
thirteenth and fourteenth sections of the act
of juno 90, 1886, entitled IAN act to regulate
the deposits of the public money"
BY these sections il was directed that the
surplus revenue that should be in the treas
ury on Jan. l. 1887 after reserving $5,000,000,
which surplus was ascertained to be $37, 1885,
$50, should be deposited with the states then
| twenty-sX in number, according to repre-
sentation in four quarterly installments
during the year 1887, and to remain with
sush states until necessarily called for by the
secretary to meet appropriations by congress.
| The first three installments were so deposited
but payment of the fourth was sub sequently
postponed by congress until Jan. l. 1889.
There not being at tho latter date suf-
ficient sum in the treasury not subject to
charges which had been before imposed by
congress, Jne secretary, Low woodbury.,
failed to make the final deposit stating,
however, that he should feel bound to make
it whenever there should thereafter be a
sufficient sIm in tho treasury which could be
so applied. AS there has never since that
time, until within the present decade, been a
sufficient sum i'll the United States treasury
not subject to other charges that could be SO
used, such dep pysit has never been made with
the states
In 1871 the act of June 49, 1886, was re-
pealcd, expressly reserving, however, the
thirteenth and fourteenth sections, and it is
contended that they are now in force.
This claim involves II will be seen, the
question of the deposit with the other states,
which in all amounts TO over $9,000000.
The attorneys claim to have documents
and other evident es showing it to be the duty
of the secretary of the treasury to make this
deposit on demand Of the state of Virginia
and will argue the question before him soon
after his return,
Judge Wiloughby is proceeding under al
act of the Virginia legislature authorizing
contracts to be made for the collection of thil
and OF her claims.

it, and they will.
At this point the following dispatch was
read amid vociferous cheering:
"NEw York, Aug. 2.-Gon. EclSert's resig-
nation has been requested, and will be ac-
copied tomorrow"
Before tho applause had subsidized boy

read and followed by continued cheers:
"uon. Thomas Eckurt, president of the
Western Union company, has rendered his
resignation and it has boen accepted This
information was furnished by ex-senator
Cornell, large stockholder in the company"
Mr.. s. b. Shvcly then said, before adjourn
ing tho meeting, "If tho news we have re-
ceived tonight be true, the backbone of tho
greatest monopoly oxtant is broken, and Or
ganized labor has gained great victory"
A largo number of the striking operators
wero present, and not the slightest disorder
marred the entire proceedings.

Too MANY LAWYERS,

The biography of Peter the Great
says that, when he visited England in
quest of information which he could
use at home, he expressed his surprise
at the large number of lawyers he
found in London. He declared that he
had but two In all his dominions and
that he intended to take off the head of
one of them as soon as he returned.
Still, it appears that the number of
lawyers in Great Britain was formerly
very small as compared to what it is at
present. The number of practising and
non-practising barristers in England
100 years ago was less than 800. At
the commencement of the present cent
ury the number had increased to 700.
The number at present is about 5, 1000.
The population of the United Kingdom
has increased three-fold during the
present century, but the lawyers have
increased In much larger ratio. More
are studying for the bar than ever be-
fore. Nothing can be done in England
without lawyer. There is family
lawyer as well as a family doctor
Every criminal has lawyer, and nearly
every honest man is obliged to employ
one to defend him against knayes. Two
men meet to transact little common
business and each brings lawyer with
him. A lawyer has become necessary
if a marriage settlement or a Will is to
be drawn mp. If an estate is left,
lawyers will consume a large portion
of it in dividing it among its rightful
owners. Parliament has done all it
could to simplify court proceedings,
but the lawyers contrived to undo most
of the good work performed.
If England is a "lawyer-ridden"
country, what shall we call the United
States? A town that is large enough
to support grocery is quite certain to
| support two lawyers. Every corpora
ton, public or private, employs an at
torney. Lawyers may almost be said
to constitute the governing class
in this country. Lawyers usually
constitute the majority of both houses
of Congress and of both branches of the
State Legislature. Lawyers make the
laws, quarrel over them, and then get
them declared unconstitutional. The
next session of the Legislature they re-
peat the operations of the previous
year. The uncertainties of the law in
crease from year to year. The more
the law is expounded, the more difficult
it is to understand. The more light is
thrown upon it, the more obscure it be-
comes. The more commentaries there
are on it the more are required. Other
things become clearer as time moves
on. But the reverse is true in relation
to the meaning and application of the
law. No Judge, or bench of Judges, IS
even measrlrably sure in rendering a
decision. All one set of Judges can do
is to make a guess. 1t is all guess
work, from the highest tribunal to the
lowest. Chicago Times.

FROM THE OLD WORLD.

|. From the. great. London (Eng.) Times.
Among the many specifics introduced to the
public for the cure fof dyspepsia, indigestion,
arrangements of various. kinds, and as a general
family medicine, none have met with such gen.
uine appreciation as Hop Bitters. introduced
to this country but comparatively short time
since, to meet the great demand for pure, safe
and perfect family medicine, they have rapidly
increased in favor, until they are, without ques-
ton the most popular and valuable medicine
known. Its worldwide renown is not due to
the advertising it has received; it is famous by
reason of its inherent virtues. 1t does all that
is claimed for it. 1t discharges its curative
powers without any of the evil effects of other
bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and
harmless for the most frail woman, smallest
child and weakest invalid to use. Few are the
homes indeed where the great discovery has lot
already been hailed as deliverer and welcomed
as friend. 1t does what others affect to do.
Composed of simple materials, it is marvel
of delicate and successful combination. Moth
ing is wanting. Every Ingredient goes straight
to the mark at which it is aimed and never fails.
Pleasant to the palate, agreeable to the stomach,
and thoroughly effective as a cure, it has won
for itself the confidence of ..all.-Tines, London,

A Public Nuisance.

It is strange, but it does not seem to
have struck the generality of chewers
and especially smokers, that their acts
are worse than rude and ungentlemanly,
that they are positive offense against
decency. Civilization has placed bar
rier against eating in public even so
much as an apple, or the most innocent
and most inviting kind of food, except
under the stress Of necessity; yet a con-
tirmed tobacco user or cigar smoker
will smoke and chew the filthiest of
weeds, sitting and annoying persons in
his vicinity with fumes and disgusting
debris, as if he was privileged to be II
nuisance and had 81 right to faint the air
and pollute his surroundings, which
must not be interfered with. Now,
where does any man get the right? It
Is his business in this world to improve
upon himself, TO make the world the
happier and better and brighter and
cleaner for his coming, to help others
and not put obstacles or hindrances IN
their way; and the smoker does this j.; he
sets a bad example to boys, who take
up smoking as q manly habit, because
they see men indulge in it, and are thus
led to drinking and every evil practice.
There is widespread feeling, to which
women largely subscribe, that men need
a wide indulgence, that they cannot re-
strain their passions and appetites,
that it is not to be expected of them
that they should. But this ought not
to be true, and is not true Of men who
have got beyond the savage, whose
moral nature predominates, who have
learned to exercise their better facUl-
ties, and whose strength has been tested
and acquired, as much In resisting evil
as in yielding to it. This so-called ne
cessity for bolstering up and stimulat-
ing up, and strengthening up with vile
decoctions and injurious narcotics is
confession of weakness, not evidence of
strength; it is a sign of inferiority and
cowardice, not an evidence of courage
OF manliness. Women are subject to
much heavier drafts upon their nerves
than men, but this would not be consid-
cred as any valid excuse for adopting
their vulgar, unclean methods of solace
and consolation. Are men naturally SO
weak they can not bear the ills of life
without resort to such depraved helps
to carry the burden? Are they so
british as not to be able to sustain
their place in the march of reason, in
telligence and progressive civilization?
We do not believe it.-DemOreSt'S

The Oyergrowth of Cities.


All over hewOrld the cities are grow
ing faster than the country that must
feed and clothe them. Population is
rising everywhere, even in almost sta
tionary France, nearer to high-water
mark. 1t is running westward in strong
currents through every open way it can
find, and as It runs the whirlpools are
getting deeper and quicker that sweep
the yeomanry into the maelstrom of
city life. The country feeds the city
with It's grain and meat, and with the
fresh life its consuming energies de-
mand. It's unceasing cry is, Give, give!
This is an age Of concentration-con-
centration of money, of power and, not
by any means the least significant, Of
population.
The figures of this citifying Of the
population of this country, as given in
the compendium of the census just pub
lished, are startling In 1890 one-thir-
tieth of Off people lived in cities; in
1900 one-twenty-fifth; in 1910 one TWEEN
tieth. This was not changed in 1920
In 1880 one-siXteenth; In 1910 one
twelfth; in 1850 one-eighth; in 1860
one-sixth; in 1870 one-ffth; and in 1880
the city population is 22.5 per cent. of
the whole, or almost one-quarter.
In England the population increased
between 1871 and 1881 by 3, 113, 40. Of
that the cities gained 2,S60,079. AL
most all of the increase was in the hiv-
ing centers.
The figures for France are still more
striking. In 1876 the population Of the
whole nation was "a, 945, 064, and of
this Il, $50, 724 were in the towns. In
the five years that have followed the
whole country has gained but $50, $40,
and of this Paris has absorbed 337, 900.
Out of an annual advent of II, 934 new
souls the metropolis capturesS67 400.
The rest of the country gets only the
remaining 10000.
All the tendencies of modern life
have been toward the development OF
the agencies of exchange and produc-
ton. Prices that used to be fixed in
thousands of local independent markets
that hardly ever heard from each other
are now regulated either by some OF
our giant combinations or by the
cosmopolitan influences Of boards OF
trade and stock exchanges. The spin.
ners who once drove their wheels by
the freside of home with one foot OF
the treadle and the other on the rocker
of cradle have been consolidated into
mammoth factories. The weaver is nc
longer village figure in the landscape
of England. Our artisans, once theil
own masters, have had to enlist in the
service of steam, and are massed by the
railroads at the strategic points of trade
and commerce.-Chicdgo Tribune.

HOY TO Seen.

Health and comfort depend very
much on attention to matters that to
some seem very trivial. We have some
times heard persons complain that they
did not sleep well; that they We're
troubled with horrible dreams, and
arose in the morning weary and nerv-
Gus. Inquiries as to diet, exercise and
other essentials of health have often
failed to reveal anything that could ac-
count for these unfavorable conditions.
1t is not well in these case to limit
our Investigations to the routine Of a
day; but We should inquire at what
hour the patient goes to bed, what he
thinks about usually, and most particu-
larly what position he places himself in to
invite sleep? 1t he lies on the back with
his hands over his head, there will be
half conscious sense of COM
preston of the chest, with difficult
breathing, to relieve which he opens his
mouth. The air coming in direct con-
tact with the throat causes dryness,
and then snoring will begin. In the
meantime the pressure If the viscera on
the large artery, whose course is along
the inner portion of the backbone, i'm
pedes the circulation of blood, produc-
ing discomfort which manifests itself
in horrid dreams. Thus the whole
night is passed in a disturbed sleep, and
perhaps many nights pass without one
refreshing sleep. The most unwise
course under such circumstances would
be to resort to the use of opium or any
other drug. The ranks of the victims
of this unfortunate habit are recruited
mainly from such cases as we have de-
scribed. 1t is wonderful what control
an individual can get over himself if he
tries. There is no reason why a person
cannot lie upon his side instead of the
back, and keep his hands and arms down :;
then he will not open his mouth: then
his throat will not become dry, neither
will he snore OF have bad dreams But
often he can't help thinking about his
business, and his thoughts will run on
for hours. This is also a habit that
may be broken up. Have the will to
PIT aside your thoughts, and in time
you will have the power to do so.
We do not say that there are not
other causes that habitually interfere
with sound sleep, but We believe there
is remedy for each difficulty which
may he found by seeking for it Halls

The Andes Mountains Sinking.

One of the foreign journals presents
a singular statement in regard to di-
minishing altitudes-the Andes, it ap-
pears, showing a sensible decline. Ac-
cording to this statement Quito was
found by La Condamine, in 1745, to be
1886 feet above the sea; Humboldt, in
1903, could only make $50 feet of it,
or twenty-six less; Boussingualt, in
1881, was surprised to fine the measure
ments show only 1867 feet; Orion, in
1867, found it reduced to $500 feet;
and Reuss and Stubel ascertained, as
late as 1870, that it had actually shrunk
to 1856 feet. Quito, it seems, had sunk
$40 feet in 125 years, and Pichincha 21S
feet in the some period. The remark
able fact appears, from definite deter
limitations, that its crater has sunk not
less than 425 feet during the last twenty
six years, and Antisana 165 feet in sixty
four years.

things in the fatherland is deplorable.
While the population increases the
price of land is steadily falling. All

have been failures His protectionist
policy has ruined the seaports, while his
military system has taxed all the re-
sources of the state. The change from
q silver to a gold basis brought woes
innumerable upon the monetary system

Of all has been the recent floods, which
have ruined the vineyards on the banks
