The Railroad Strike.

ST. LOUIS, March 12.-Everythina
Is quiet about the railroad shops here
this morning and the men are all al
work and seem entirely satisfied with
the action of the company yesterday
in restoring their wages. The state.

made on the authority of one of the
leaders of the Sedalia strikers who
was in that city yesterday in confer

ing with a strong force of deputies
to protect the Wabash railroad prop
erty. Train Master Richie also ar
rived, bringing four engines from
Springfield to move about q hun
dred loaded freight cars held by the
strikers. These were met bY the
strikers, who refused to allow the en-,
gines to go to the Missouri Kansas
and Texas yards for the cars. Two
of the strikers were arrested. The
two locomotives were then permitted
to pass. but the engineers refused to
their engines without the per-
mission of the strikers. Policeman
Ledford, who Is about half an enqi-
neer, then boarded one of the locomo.
tlves and ran to the yards and got
one train out which started east this

very indignant at Policeman Leford.

Election Fraud Perpetrators Sentenced.
CH1CAo, March FIN the United
States Circuit Court this afternoon,
after hearing an elaborate argument
for a new trial in the case of Joseph
G. Mackin and William Gallagher,
who were found guilty in the cele-
brated Eighteenth ward election
case, Judge Blodgett at 4:4O p. m.
denied the motion for q new trial.
He then ordered the prisoners to
stand before the bar and formally
sentenced each to two years impris-
onment in Joliet and also imposed q
fine of 5000 on each. He then
ordered them into the custody of the
United Beates Marshal and deferred
the date of their removal to Joliet
for ten days. Neither men finched
when sentence was pronounced.
Gleas0n's case was not disposed of.
as Leonard Sweet wishes to present
some arguments to the court.
The prisoners were then taken to
the county Jail aud locked up. Papers
will probably be perfected tomorrow
to Judge Gresham for q
review Of the case, pending which
the prisoners will doubtless be re-
leased on bail again. It is believed
the review by Judge Gresham is the
last move which the prisoners can
make to delay or avoid punishment.

COINAGE OF SILVER.

On the End instant the followipa
Senate joint resolution was by unani
nous consent introduced: "Thai
the President of the United States il
hereby requested to enter into nego.
tiations with the States OF the Latin
Union, and such other foreign
powers as he may deem advisable,
with the purpose of securing such
treaties with them as shall bind the
nations agreeing thereto to. open
their respective minis to the free
coinage of silver with full legal
power, at such uniform ratio to gold
as shall be agreed upon" q
Judging from the result of the in
.ternationsl monetary conferences
which have been held there is very
little hope that anything can be
effected by the above resolution. It
lie simply a waste of ti'ue and words
to attempt to carry out the spirit of
the above resolution. The better
way to do is to follow the plan sug-'
by the members of the Senate
and House that Is for this country
to act independently of all foreign
nations and establish and maintain
\ monetary system of its own. The
ground is taken, and properly taken,
hat the United States Is large enough
oopulous enough, and wealthy
enough to maintain a gold and silver
coinage system of its own without
he cooperation of foreign powers.
England, France, Germany and
'ther foreign nations each maintain
separate monetary system and is
lot constantly beseeching its neigh
'ors to unite upon some other or to
gree with its own. The oliver inter-
st of the country is not strengthened
y this constant agitation of inter-
lational monetary conferences. It is a
irtcal confession that we are anx-
ous to relieve ourselves Of a load too
yeayy for carry.

What the Doctors Say About Bicycle
Riding.
PREPARED By ,
Sold BY all Druggists; 81, six bottles for s..


Those who work the pedals of the
graceful bicycle will, unhapplly. find
little to commend their favorite ex-
ercise in the columns of the medical
journals. From time to time there
have appeared the results Of ingul-
RES of the medical faculty INTO the
effect produced upon the body by
continued bicycling; and though a
verdict may scarcely be said to have
been rendered, the evidence present.
ed proved, in some cases, sufficiently
convincing to condemn the practice.
The latest opinion of the subject is con-
tanned in y paper contributed to the
London Lancet ~ DR.. S. A. Strahan,
of Northampton. Neither DR.. Stra-
han nor those who preceded him on
the subject condemn bicycling alto
gether; but when INDUCED IN con-
stantly and especially when the
course %traversed Is rough or billy,
they agree that it leads to serious
disorders. In the case of grow
ing boys, DR.. Strahan declares that
the amount of pressure upon the per-
ineum directly affects the PROSTATE,
the muscles of the bulb, and indeed
the whole g%enerative system. "The
pelvis," he says, lis fisxed upon the
thighs or rolled forward. This roll
ing forward of the pelvis is slight in
easy riding and very marked in
fast riding or hill climbing. Now
when the body and pelvis are bent
forward, the ischial tlberosities are
raised from the saddle and the whole
weight of the body. save what Is
transmitted to the pedal by the ex-
tended leg, Is thrown upon the PEI
1neum."
This result, he says, in irritation
and congestion of the PROSTATE and
surrounding prrts, tends to exhaust
and atrophy tine delicate muscles of
the perineum, and leads to early i'm
potence. Many cases could be cited
where races have almost totally i'm
potent from immoderate equitation,
the I'artars, and partially so from
the same cause, as the Indians. Like
others who have written on the SUBJ
oct, DIR. Strahan speaks of the "di-
cease of the Sythians," but doesn't
tell us what it was. We know that
they were a warlike race and contin-
aally in the saddle, and can only
conclude that he means this constant
perineal pressure reduced hem t,
the wretched condition in which
found them. Hippo
rates says: "Their bodies are gross
md deshy; the joints loose and yield
Ing; the belly flabby; they have but
hair, and all closely resemble
me another" Yet bicycling Is said

neum as riding Scientific Ameri-

THE BILL.

1t Is now in order for those eleven
members of the House who voted
against DIR. Mitchell's wife, beating
bill and thus defeated it to rise aud
explain. The House has shown a
disposition to inject a great deal OF
morality into their legislation, but it
seems to draw the line at wife-beat-
Ing. 1t has made prize-fightIng a
felony and set its face against gamb-
ling, but when it comes to providing
an effective penalty for a man
who whips his wife it talters in its
good work. The people are at q loss
to understand this. The House made
1t a felony for two strong men to
enter a ring and blacken each others
eyes, tut the same body of men re-
fuses to make it more than a INSIDE
meanor for the same strong men to
pummel and beat q poor defenseless
woman past recognition. We con
fess We do not understand it.
In the arguments made against
gambling much was said about the
Door wives who suffered from want
of proper clothing by reason of their
husbands gambling away their earn
ings. There IL much truth in the re-
marks. But an inquiring world will
ask why the same poor wives should
not be protected from the brutal
blows of their gambling husbands,
d.. Mitchell's bill did this in q most
effective manner by p~lacarding and
placing the brute in stocks. In de.
feating the bill the House is not .on- !!
sistent. 1t has drawn the line of its |
moral legislation at the wrong place. ,

A reader of the Boston Herald asks
how much salary the members of the
English cabinet receive. The prime
minister is paid 1850, or about
$37, 600 a year, and the other members
of the cabinet $4,000, or about SIS, 700.
The salary of the heads of depart
ments in the Washington cabinet is
5000, which is the same as that of
the postmaster at New York, and
$1,000 less than that of the Governor
of that state, who has likewise a
house furnished him.
