The Next Congress.

There are forty-four doubtful, or
rather close Congressional districts,
and BY . curious coincidence the Dem
ocrats have. just forty-fou majority
in. the House. Of Representatives.
Twenty-thresef the doubtful districts
are now represented by Democrats
and twenty-one by Republicans. To
get absremajority in the next House
the Republicans would have to carry
every close Democratic district and
hold every close district Of their own.
Their most sanguine and audacious
organs now hardly pretend to claim
that they will be able to do this, or
to come anywhere near doing it.
Owing to the recent gerrymander
in Ohio, and Democratic divisions in
three or four districts in other States,
it is probable that the Republicans
VIII carry eight or ten districts now
represented by Democrats. It is also
however that the Demo
Gratis will carry as many districts now
represented by Republicans. In fact
it is reasonable to suppose on general
principles, the Republicans being no
longer the dominant party in nation
al affairs, that they will lose more in
the approaching Congressional cleo
tions than the Democrats will lose
The chief and about the ouly dan
ger to the Democrats is from over
confidence. In politics, as in war, it
will rarely do to rely on the weakness
of an adversary. Largely superior
forces have often been surprised and
routed, and large political majorities
have frequently been defeated by com
pact and quietly organized minorities.
The race is not always to the swift, and
the battle is not always won by the
strong. There seems to be no chance
however, for the Democrats to suffer
q general reverse this fall except by
criminal negligence, of which they
are not in the habit of being guilty.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1886-08-26

It is not often that two brothers
are nominated against each other by
two parties, but this is the case in
Tennessee, where the Republican and
Democratic candidates are brothers
named Taylor. 1t recalls the famous
fight for the United States Senator
ship among the Salisbury brothers
in Delaware. Cove and Willard had
fought each other in the primaries,
and the contest resulted in tie.
Then Eli, who was the least able Of
the three, and who had not been
thought of for the place, quietly went
to work and surprised both his broth
ers by having himself elected. He
has held on ever since.

RIOT AT EAST ST. LOUIS.
strikers March to the Yards and Conn
pei Work 10 stop.

The quiet state Of affairs which existed In
East st. Louis was suddenly broken ON the 9TH
by riot. A large crowd Of strikers, NUMBER
ing over a thousand men, formed about noon
at the relay depot, and headed by the leaders
Of the strikers Of that city, marched to the
Ohio g. Mississippi railway depot, where a
number Of platform men were at work. No
guard OF police or deputy sherlffs having been
stationed there the employes were easily forced
from their positions. Thence the mob adj.
yanced upon the Vandalia yards. Here few
deputies were on duty, who ordered the men
back They refused and made rush, bearing
the officers down, and swarmed through the
gates into the yards and forced all the en-
ployes at work out of the yards. From this
place they marched to the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy yards, and upon arrival there a
similar scene was enacted, aud all employees
forced out The men then rushed on to the
Chicago q Alton yards, and were met By a
strong force of deputy marshals armed with
Winchester repeating rifles. They ordered the
mob back and called upon them TO disperse.
This the crowd refused to do, AMI upon at
tempting TO rush through the gates the mar
shals brought their rifles to their shoulders
and threatened TO fire II the crowd advanced.
This cooled their ardor somewhat, and they
turned back, none the less determined that
there should be no more work done In the city
while the Knights are still on the strike. The
deputies remained on guard at the Alton yards
fearing second attack on that point, while
the strikers proceeded to the Cairo Short Line
yards.

the temper of the mob cooled down, and they
dispersed, with threats to avenge the deaths
caused by the deputies. Mayor Joyce, after
his encounter with the deputies on the bridge
when he attempted to arrest them In their
fight went through the excited crowds TO his
Office. He attempted to calm the men but
found ii useless The streets and sidewalks
were blocked with men, women and children
who rushed in every direction. Reaching his
office about an hour after the shooting, he at
once issued proclamation to close ali the sa.

urging him to do all in his power to calm the
men. He said he had notified the Governor
two weeks ago, but that he had done nothing
and that he was utterly powerless.

Uu6Ifxesred Food

Tn the stomach develops an acid which stings the upper part of the throat and palate, causing heartburn. It also evolves gas which produces "wind on the stomach" and feeling and appear ance of dIstension in that organ after eating. For both this acidity and swell ing, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a much better remedy than alkaline salts, like hartsho:n and carbonate of soda.
 A wineglassful of the Bitters, after or before dinner, will be found to act as a
 reliable carminative or preventine. This
 fine specific for dyspepsia, both in it's acute and chronic form, also prevents and cures malarial fever, constipation, liver complaint, kidney troubles, ner- vousness and debility. Persons who ob- serve in themselves a decline of vigor should use this fine tonic without delay.
