IN CoNVERsATIoN with an Alabama
Democrat the other evening, one who is
thoroughly posted, the Washington cor
respondent of the Birmingham Age
learned something about the coming
Congress and the issues to come before
it. He said: f" The tariff, If the Demo-
Gratis want to remain solid, must be acted
upon In body, and sweeping reduction
or enlargement Of the free lists will be
dangerous. Why, even II the House did
pass bill it would be killed in the SEN
ate, and needed legislation would have
to suffer on that account. A Republican
member said to me just after Cleveland's
election that II Ii hadn't been for Sam
Randall and his followers in defeating
the Morrison bill, Blaine would now be

won't be surprised to see a bill intro
duced before the session is very old to
regulate the differences between capital
and labor. This boycott business Is get

less some action is taken before It's too

ON THE subject of the Houston Age
boycott, the Laredo Times utters the
following: "The knights of Labor in
their boycotting Of the Houston Age,
are striking directly at the freedom Of
the press. as was the case in their bull
doing of the Palestine Advocate some
time ago. The constitution Of the
United States guarantees freedom Of
speech, and Of the press, and certainly
there are not wanting legal means for
bringing to justice oonspirators who
defy the organic law of the land. 1t is
to be hoped that the conservative ele-
ment at Houston win sustain the Age,
for in this contest the interests ofsooiety
are involved. If combinations Of men
may do what in one would be felony,
and override law with impunity, the era
Of anarchy will have been ushered in.
The contest decisive OF the matter must
come, and the issue precipitated upon
the Age Is perhaps as good ground to
fight 1t out on in the courts as any other.
1t is folly to say that the Age has no
remedy at law, for to acknowledge as
much would be to acknowledge the de-
pendence Of society upon any con-
spiracywhose numbers enabled II to defy
the law"

"THE free traders have come and gone
at Chicago" says the Kansas City Jour
nal, "and like the doctors with malaria,
all the ills Of the body politio are as
cribed to protection. We are not going
into the discussion, but when they claim
that 100000 people are out Of work in
this country from overproductlon, how
is that 100000 to find relief by import
ing more OF the same kind Of goods by
opening our ports to them? We may be
dull, or the rule of simple addition may
be at fault, but that Is the way II looks
to us. Now, II somebody like David
A. Wells or Frank Hurd had got up and
said: "There are 100000 men in Amer
lea out of work simply because there
are more goods on the market than can
be consumed, therefore we demand that
our ports be closed to all foreign goods
until this surplus has been used up and
our own people set to work." we could
understand what was meant But to
say these people are out Of work and
the way to get them employed is TO
open the country to more supplies, Is
beyond our mathematics. 1t may be
free-trade logic, but 1t isn't sense"

decides very important point at law.
1t was in the case of p. L. Comerford,

The Judge held that as the oorrespon-
dence was strictly private, the same as
any other private letter, that 1t did not
come within the Jurisdiction OF the law;
as private correspondence 1t was strictly
inviolable. This opinion still further
establishes the sacredness of private
correspondence. Two other cases, par

What Old Age In.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter con.
tains q curious article on the suspension OF
bodily function in old age. the leading idea
Of which is that "the real change which
produces old age 10 nothing more nor less
than q slow. but steady accumulation Of
calcareous matter throughout the system,
and it Is owing to these deposits that the
structure of every organ Is altered, elastic.
ity thus giving away to senile rightly.
Blocksge OF various organs is thus com
menced, and sooner or latef o vital part
becomes involved and death Of necessity
follows" To delay this process the writer
advises the avoidance Of food containing
this calcareous matter, among which bread
is prominent. Moderation in eating Ia en-.
Joined, and among the articles recon-
mended are fruit, fish, poultry, flesh OF
young mutton and beef, because, as before
stated, of their being less heterogeneous.
All well and Spring water contains consid
cradle Of the earthly salts, and should,
therefore, be avoided, and cistern water
used in its stead, because water is
the most universal solvent known
Therefore, il taken into the system clear
Of foreign matter, 1t is to that exteut the
better prepared to dissolve and take up
those earthly salts and convey them out Of
the system. The addition Of fifteen OF
twenty drops OF dilute phosphoric acid &c
the glass Of water. drank three times
day, will add to the solubility of these
earthly salts"
