vindicated.
This week will be lively one politically.
Eleven States, including Massachusetts,,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, will
select delegates at large to the national Re-
publican convention next Wednesday, and
seven more, including Rhode Island. on
Thursday. Kansas and Texas will have their
State conventions Tuesday
Under the law passed at the last session of
the Mississippi legislature chancellors are
given great power over hsbitual drunkards.
They are given authority to declare who
are drunkards, to appoint guardians for them
and their estates without ordering such
drunkards into confinement, or to order
them into confinement without appointing
guardians, or both guardians and asylums
may be prescribed by the chancsllors, and
when confinement is prescribed 10 may be in
an asylum in or out of the State. Such
power as this might easily be abused.
A German physician living in Philadelphia
has been struck by the fact that bser-drink-
ing affects Germans very differently on this
than on the other side of the Atlantic. His
conclusions are that NEARLY all the diseases
among the Germans In this country are
caused by drinking beer. At home they
were not subject to such diseases. They
Crank no less beer than here. but the beer
was pure. and, what was of equal Importance,
it YVES kept a long time after it was made.
Here the beer is not only 'doctered,' but it is
dealt out while it is green, and the drugs
used to make it palatable are very injurious
to the kidneys and other organs.''
The Chicago Herald looks over the politi-
cal field, and after saying that among the
odds and ends of candidates who will appear
on the first ballot at the June convention
will be Sherman, Fsirohild, Harrison and
Hawley, says: In only one of these is there
potency of growth and possibility of success.
Hawley is strong, vigorous character. Like
Blaine, he was an editor. Unlike Blaine, who
was repr esented By substitute, he went to
the front during the war days. He has great
capacity for large affairs, as was shown by
his executive management of the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia. He is clear and
foreible of speech and earnest of purpose.
and, while he has shown some independence
of party trammels- as when Malone, with
the active aid of Hoar, was endeavoring to
force Gorham and Riddleberger upon the
party as officers of the Senate-he has never
been SO pronounced as to incur the hostility
of the machine. His power as q presiding
oficsr was shown at the Republican oonven.
tton of 1868, which nominated Grant
Schulz was temporary chairman, and, having
no capacity as presiding officer, noise. con-
fusion and disorder fonrished, not through
design or lack of harmony, but because the
chairman was totally untitled to command
and to compel the orderly pursuit. of busi-
ness Hawley in due course reached the
chair. With the first tap of his gayel he Sc
cured order, and within five minutes the con-
vention discovered that strong hand and a
steady, intelligent viii was directing its prog
ress. Hawley is one of the strongest and
one of the most reputable msn In the Re-
publican party. He would make good cam
didate.
The bill to protect American labor. which
has been reported favorably by the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor, provides
