Catarrh Cured.

Many who have the appearance OF
Consumption are suffering from long
established cGtarrh. which eats into
the very vitsis and renders life but a
long-drawn breath Of misery and dis
ease, dulllpg the sense of hearing,
tram melting the power of smell, ,aint-
ing the breath. deranging the stomach,
aud destroying the muscous membrane e
of the small a,r-tubes leading in 10 the

THERE is u movement being agitated
to form an old settlers society of the
residents since 1879. The youth of many
of these sod settlers'' would be in strik-
ing contrast to the age of members IF the
old settlers societies IN the states, but the
plan is good one, and will be the
means OF bringing out much Of interest,
historically and socially, of the pioneer
days that might never be chr)nicled
otherwise. Those were stirring times and
their re-count,ng Will be one Of the
pleasantest occupations Of the future, in
Oak ota oiN settlers meetings.

THROUGHOUT the length and breadth
OF the northwest the management of the
Wisconsin Central railroad is receiving
congratulations for its action IN regard to
tips to porters on sleeping cars, over that
line. Heretofore the traveller in addition
to his regular Pullman fare has had to
figure up quarter or half dollar for
the privilege of having his boots BACKED
and few passes made over his coat with
a dust brush. 1t is becoming a regular
thing an the public has rather got &C
customed to paying the wages of the por
ter. The Wisconsin Central arrangement
IA an improvement that should bring to
that road much deserving reward.

II seems to take long while for news
to trave! up to McHenry, and get back
through the newspapers of that county,
but the Mouse Rlvei Advocate gets the
legislative result in clear review before
its readers all the same. 1t says: "Messrs.
Dodge, Shook I'd Dodds have upward OF
1000 majority in this district. Although
desperate fight was made on Dodge in
his own county before election, still he
csrrled the county by large majority.
In fact, he was only cut in one county
namely, Eddy. In the natural order Of
things, Eddy county would have stood a
very good show for member two years
hence, but her throwing off on MIR. Dodge
will probably somewhat lessen her
chances for member We wonder how
the republicans Of Eddy county will feel
when they ask Mr.. Dcdge to ''help them

also bolted Mr. Dodge, but this move on
the part of the News did not seem to af.
feet Mr. Dodge's vote in Foster county.
McHenry county today stands as the ban
rer republican county in the 22d district.
The claims OF McHcnry county to mem-

not be denied. McHenry county is also
IN position to expsct that Messrs.
Dodge, Snook and Dodds will look close

Henry county may congratulate them
selves that they are to be represented by
ID. s. Dodds, of Nelson county, IN the

MEXICAN REFORM.

The system of the States Collecting I'm
port Duties on Goods in Transit AbOl-
ished.
CITY OF MEXICo, Nov, 27.--An impor-
tant economic reform was formally pro-
claimed yesterday. A movement has been
going on for some time for putting an end
to the system of taxation whereby the
States collected duties on national and for
eign merchandise in transit through their
respective territories, a system which has
been pronounced by railway managers more
commerce of the country than any
other plan that could have been
devised. In May last a constitu-
tional amendment was submitted to the
States fOrbdding the imposition or transit
duties, import duties on products OF other
States and on the expectation OF merchah-
disc either manufactured articles or pro-
ducts of the soil. The eamendmenta also fOrblds
the States to assign special routes for the
conveyance of goods of native origin, as has
heretofore been done; also TO put higher
duty on foreign goods than will be fixed
by federal law. 1t is expected that Con-
gress will fix a uniform tax of five per
cent. ad valOrem. This amendment having
been adopted by the majority of the
Etates has received the sanction of
both chambers of Congress and was
proclaimed in the usual form, being read in
various points in the city and copies OF II
posted on walls. The ceremony took place
between nine o'clock and noon yesterday,
troops forming part of the official process
sion through the city.

THAT POLICE SCANDAL.

Dissatisfa ction with the Decision of the
District Commissioners-TheP Presiient's
Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The decision of
the District Commissioners in the police
scandal case continues to excite great deal
of comment. Disagreement with the ver-
diet and dissatisfaction with The dismissal
of Lieutenant Arnold are heard everywhere.
On one point there seems TO be pretty
general agreement in public, and that is
that Major Walker, however excellent
in his intentions and integrity, is not
the proper person to fill the position
of superintendent of police. Prior
to the decision, members OF Congress gen.
orally were quite indignant, and some
threaten a Congressional investigation un-
less the Commissioners gave satisfactory
verdict, but the retirementO of Major Walker
seems to have appeased Congressional
wrath, and members are now apparently
willing to let the matter drop. Colonel
Lamont the Presidents private secretary,
according to the Star last evening, is au-
thority for the statement that the President
has lost no sleep on account OF the police
mudde This remark was not intended,
however, to convey the inn ressiOn that the
President took no interest in the matter.
but rather that he did not feel inclined
to interfere either by expressing an
opinion relating strictly to District affairs.
The Critic on the other hand, publishes an
interview with a gentleman who had talked
with the Chief Magistrate, and reports him
saying: THE President takes a deep in
terest in the matter, and from the tenor Of
the conversation had with him this MORN
ing, | should not be surprised IL there was
a sudden upheaval at the Commissioner 5
Office. One thing you may rest assured OF
and that is the police force will he through

fected which will prevent any repetition or
