The House of Representatives at
Washington should give the lottery
business immediate and final atten-
ton, as the senate is disposed to do,
and then the whole lottery fraternity
can hang Grape on its doors, and
prepare for a general lottery funeral,
The senate of the 9Th inst, amended
the clause. of the revised statutes for
bidding the delivery of registered
letters and the payment of money
orders to fraudulent lottery companies
by striking out the word "fradulent, :"
thus making the law apply to all
lotteries. The trouble heretofore ex-
perienced in proving the fraudulent
character of lotteries companies will
be removed by this amendment.
The senate has opened the way to
effective dealing with rascally con-
Germs. The House should not need
urging to Its part Of the performance.
These cormorant concerns have not
a single redeeming feature, Their
influence is bad, and only bad. Even
if ever so honestly conducted, they
serve to engender the feverish thirst tol
gain without giving an equivalent III
every one of their patrons. Nobody
ever saw or heard of an honest lotte-
ry, however, the very principal upon
which the business is founded being
dishonest. AS they form an enticing
trap into which the dollars Of multi
tudes of people who canuot afford tc
lose their money are drawn, they can
not be abolished too soon or too
completely. The passage of this bill
and the attachment of the president
signature to it, would be the mos
effective blow that could be struck a
this nefarious business.

NEW UPROAR OVER AN OLD
SUBJECT.

There was a new uproar in the
senate on Monday. The subject was
an old one. The man who left the
senate twenty-four years ago, and on
departing gave his hand to John P.
Hale, who shook it as if the owner
was on patriotic mission bent, re-
appeared on Monday, brought thith-
er by the impulsive though brilliant
Gen. Sherman. The presence of
such a character formented trouble
of course. He always made trouble,
and appears to have been born to it
as sparks fly upward. He has been
in heap of trouble ever since he bid
his fellows of the senate farewell in
1861, and plunged into treason and
rebellion.
Senator Lamar thinks such words
are harsh and untrue. He even de-
clared in his place in the United
States senate on Monday that "no
man should in his presence call
jefferson Davis traitor without his
responding with stern and emphat.
ic denial" Here you have it. The
rebellion was no rebellion. 1t was
only little unpleasantness. Davi:
and his crowd are not traitors. They
were only patriots from the Southern
standpoint. Senator Sherman rashl,
called Davis "conspirator and
traitor" The brigadlers were up il
arms at once, and the uproar wa
only ended by an executive session.

and speak it will and ought, just as
often as Davis and his friends insist
that they were right. No uproar
can hide the truth. The denial
that Davis was a traitor drew from
the Buckeye veteran the exclama-
ton: "Great God will it ever be

ON THE ENGINE.

Running a Locomotive While DeaihIy Sick
Something the Passengers Did Not Know
Physician Saves an Engineer.
Taunton, Mass.-Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, n. Y.
Dear Sir: am an engineer on the Old Colony
Railroad and run the Fall River boat train between
Fall River and Lowell, residing at Taunton. For
ten years suffered everything but death from dys
pepsa. Often had such binding sick headaches
that could scarcely see. l think this due
partly to irregular habits of eating, and partly to
the jar of the engine. Sometimes my head would
snap like neuralgia, and again the pain would settle
in my eyes, which would settle in my eyes, which
would feel as big as a mans fists. Nv breath was
very offensive and my food soured as soon as it en-
tered my stomach. In fact my stomach felt as
though it were great and sore surface, and
what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine.
In the summer and fall of 1876 when we had the
heavy centennial travel, the constant jar brought
acute attacks nearly every week and thought
should have to leave the road. But kept ut work
until the next spring, when grew so much worse
that could virtually eat nothing, and L concluded
that my labor, and my life too were about over.
Remember that / had tried every medicine
heard of and had been treated by some of the best
physicians in Taunton and Lowell. At this critical
time DR.. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE
REMEDY was recommended to me. 1t new
to me, and with my experience of medicines you
can easily forgive me for saying that had not a
particle of faith in it. ~; as.a
1 had taken it but a few days when began to get
better. The raw and feeling left my stomach,
and the swapping pains left my head and soon l
was all right, and have been since. 1t is the
only thing that ever did me the least good and it
drove every ache, pain and discomfort completely
out of my body. Now keep KENNEDY'S FA-
VORITE REMEDY with me on my engine, and it
goes wherever go. fft.l l
Why, 1 believe FAVORITE REMEDY will cure
anything. One night willie ago, John Layton,
engineer who runs the main line boat train from
Boston, came OF my engine sick as death. lie was
worn out with work. had high fever, and so
nervous that lie almost broke down crying. "Non-
sense, John" said, ''cheer up, I've got something

For the Reason That Certain Political Disa-

The Senate adjourned finally on Thursday.
During the executive session that day mes
sage was received from the president with
drawing the nomination Of Alexander r.
Lawton, of Georgia, to be minister to Russia
1t appears that the political disabilities of
General Lawton have never been removed
He was a brigadier-general in the Confeder-
ate service during the war, and at its close
resumed the practice of his profession in
Savannah. When President Andrew Jack
son was president he took it upon himself to
issue pardons to certain Southern men for
the part they took in the rebellion and among
those pardoned by him was General Lawton
After these pardons had been granted, how
ever, the Fourteenth Amendment to the con-
stitution was adopted. The amendment
provides No person shall hold any office,
civil or military, under the United States or
In any state who, having once taken the oath
to support the constitution OF the United
States, shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion against the same, but Congress
may, by two-thirds vote Of each House, re-
move such disability"
Senator Edmunds and other constitutional
lawyers in the Senate maintained that fail
ure ON Mr.. Lawton's part to apply for the
removal OF his disabilities under this amend
ment to the constitution, notwithstanding
the fact that he had been granted an amnesty
or pardon by ex-President Johnson, debarred
him from the right to hold public office

ignorant of the fact that his political dis
abilities had not been removed, and as soon
as he had heard OF the objection being made.
the message withdrawing the nomination was
sent to the Senate.

thing about these newsdealers that is very
evident They will never suffer from lack of
assurance. One would imagine from their
coolness in issuing manifesto against one

complete assignment of all its rights to
newspaper reading matter. If good one

A Chicago SCANDAL.
Two Wives Claiming Wealthy Board of Trade
Man as Their Husband.

Man as Their Husband.
A senation Of large dimensions was
created in Chicago, when it became gener-
ally known Thursday, that William II. A.
Brown, wealthy board of trade man, was
under arrest, charged with bigamy. The
warrant was.sworn out several days ago.
The story connected with the affair as given
by the prosecution is as follows: Late in the
fall of 1883 Mrs Brown No. ], amost estimable
lady, departed from Chicago for the East OH
visit to friends and relatives. She remained
absent from Chicago for the period of eight
months or thereabOuts. During the visit of
the Chicago lady in the East, an Eastern lady
came to Chicago, also on visit to friends and
relatives.
The Eastern lady, whose maiden name was
Carrie l.. Barney, was about nineteen, hand
some and intelligent, and soon, by her lady
like manner had formed a circle of associates,
representatives of Chicago's best society.
Among this circle of friends was Mr. Will
lam II. A. Brown, the defendant, who, al
though considerably older than Miss Carrie,
was by her side as often as opportunity
would admit
This was continued until Miss Carrie left
the city to visit Detroit. There soon after her
arrival Mr.. Brown appeared and renewed his
attentions with even more earnestness than
before. Soon the twain crossed over into
Windsor, Canada, where the y were married
July 2s, 1884.
The couple returned to Chicago, and the
young wife lived in happiness utterly ignor-
ant of the surprise in store for her. 1t came
In October last, and with it came also wife
No. and her seventeen-year-old daughter
from the East The scene between the two
Mrs. Browns is passed over without COM
ment but it resulted in Mrs. Brown No. 2
leaving the house.
The alleged Mrs. Brown No. 2 expresses a
determination to punish her alleged husband
in the criminal court and also to secure
alimony for separate maintenance in the civil
court. Brown, she says, told her he had
been divorced, but she never dreamed of the
truth, though she often wondered at his
peculiar ways as well as the actions of his
the whole matter Is piece of blackmail but
this is denied by the attorney of Mrs. Brown

marriage in Windsor, Canada
