In replying, he said he could not al
firm that there was an Improvement Of
the cancer. 1t was difficult 10 tell about
that. The cancerous lump was not an
open sore. The darling, pains, that have
their seat in the caneerous
lump on the tongue, still continued,
but were not frequent nor so severe AZ
had been the case.
In response to further questions, the
doctor could not say that the infre-
quency and the lessened severity of
these pains indicated an improved con-
dltion of the cancer. There was, in every
way, an improved condition, aside from
the cancer, relative to which the doctor
declined to speak further than as stated

Galvoston,s Election Brands.

GALVESTON, April 30.-Alderman n.
W. Quincy (colored) qualified to-day as
alderman for the twelfth ward. Thus
endeth the first chapter in the munich
pal election frauds. Immediately on
Mr.. Cuney's taking his seat
as a member, the city council
sitting as committee of the whole, the
msyoralty contest of Fulton VS.. Atkins,
was taken up. Attorneys for Atkins
objected to Quincy sitting as a member
of the committee pending the contest
for the mayoralty. They thought the
recent contest, A in which he
was the principaf figure tended to dis
auslity him to sit as judge in case
almost similar in every particular to his
own. Quincy said he certainly should
vote ON the maYoralty case. His brother
aldermen had no power to prohibit him
his absence from the ssttings of the com
mittee during the taking of evidence?
AT the personal request of certain alder
men, Mr.. Quincy absented himself
from the council chamber after the
above objection had been made,
1t is understood tonight that the COM
mittee has decided to admit Quincy to-
morrow as one OF their number. The
mayoralty contest presents some pecul-
lar features. Now that the council has
thrown out the returns from the
eleventh ward, the maiorities of
every member OF that body, including
Acting Mayor Atkins, have undergone
revision and reduction. According TO
the returns as first corrected, Atkins
had majority Of SO votes over Capt.
Fulton. Upon this showing
the old city council installed Mr..
Atkins as mayor. The boot is on the
other leg now, for since the eleventh
ward returns have been ignored and
thrown out Mr.. Atkins majority has
dwindled away, and Capt. Fulton has a
prima facie majority of u votes.
Notwithstanding this majority against
him, Capt. Atkins continues 10 act as
mayor for the reason that the city cOun-
ell, in throwing. out the
eleventh ward, declared that it should
only effect the aldermanic election
Attorneys for Atkins to-day presented
an ingenious proposition. They admit
Mr.. Fulton has got them in chancery on
the face of things, but they want 10
take testimony and find out by oral ev-
ldence Tor whom tho quail
ihed electors of tho eleventh ward
voted Tor mayor, and whichever con-
tostant proves up the biggest majority of
sworn votes, he TO take tho persim-
mons. The council declined to accept
any proposition, unless agreed TO
by both contestants. In his
defense, Atkins alleges, In general
way, that frauds were perpetrated i'm
the fourth, seventh, eighth and ninth
wards in tho interest of Fulton, and he
asks that the boxes in those wards loo
examined. This Is the vital question
which council Ia now considering. nj
they open these boxes the Atkinsltes
anticipate a lively time.

A REPUBLlCANlD IDEA.

The record made by the Illinois legis-
leturo within the past three months
ought, If nothing else, to conyince the
general public of the manifest defect in
the federal constitution relative 10 the
elsction of United States senators. That
legislature has been divided In such a
manner that neither caucus nominee
could obtain even bare majority, and
the result has been practical stand
still in legislation and deprivation
virtually of that 8tate of one senator In
the United States senate.
No federal or state machinery ought
10 permit such acondition OF affairs. 1t
Is an outrage upsn the people of great
state and 1t gives rise to the grosseet
frauds, or attempts at such, and, in this
instance, negatives the constitution,
which declares that tho legislature shall
meet and ballot daily for United States
senators. This body meets to a limited
extent daily, but never votes in the true
sense Of that word, only 20 or 30 vo.es
being cast, where there should be 200
But one of the most disgusting foa-
lures OF this legislative farce Is the pub.
lie announcement in the premises by
Ma. John A. LOGAN, Just recently
made He exolaims: mo Democrat
shall succeed me in the United
States senate II and my
friends can prevent it," thus ex-
hibiting craftsmanship and contempt.
uous regard for the interest of the state
he desires to represent that ought AT
onco oonsign him to oblivionl lie
means more than IL said, that neither
shall Republican succeed him. In a
word, ho would prefer destroying at a
blow the position Of Illinois, or even
Its representation in tho senate, to see
ing anyone other than himself succeed
JOHN A. LOGAN. This is miserably
low expression just recently fastened
on LOGAN, and is in every way con-
temptiblo, and yet, but three or four
months since, this man WAS the Repub-
lioan candidate for vioe-president.
In Short this remark of LOGAN IL but
an index to the policy of Republican
ism for the past 20 years, Let the state

federal Offices DO kept sscredly for Re-
publicans. This papers idea IL to 30
amend the constitution that, AZ is
contemplated, United States senators
shall be actually elected every two
years, as are congressman, or retire 10

policy Of LOGAN is one of the most con-
temptible of doctrines and In striking
contrast to the better Democratic and
popular idea of giving the political
prizes to the best men and retirement
gracefully by the defeated asplrants.

THE EUROPEAN wAa CLOUDS.


1t is Interesting to note how com
pletely coInbativeness, or the love Of
war, less scientifically speaking, has
taken possession Of the average human
mind. America can in the very nature
of things be but indirectly, though pos
sibly greatly, interested in the impsnd
ing struggle between Russia and the
British empire, and yet on our own
streets now the popular and prevailing
topic is she foreign war. Men manifest
the same interest in the preparations
and grow as enthusiastics in their sur
misses and prophesies as to the results,
as though this country were one Of
ths parties.
The war clouds are growing thicker
and more threatening day by day, and
the "irrepressible conflict" between
Briton and Muscovite is becoming more
inevitable and assured hourly. 1t will
be necessarily bloody affair. Indian
and Russian troops in AZ imposing col
umns as characterized the Franco-Prus-
sian war, will meet in desperate on
counter and tho result will be awaited
with intense anxisty by not only Eu-
rope, but America. The loss OF life and
treasure will be tremendous and one Of
the great chapters OF modern history
will be written in lurid letters.
The coming oombatants have eacL
their scores Of sympathiEeCs in every
American town. If 80 battles are fought
Russia will win, in all probability, more
than tWo-thi-ds Of then; If 10, still
Russia will win battles TO Hngland'i
l. But, after all, Engl and is liable K
gain the ultimate victory. By the "cus
tom Of the realm" which is iEngland'
constitution, she will wear oct her ad
yersary, exhaust even her present op
ponents stvpendous resources. Ever,

THE supreme court Of the United
States has decided that no state can

this is constitutional law, is not the acts
