President Cleveland is more sparing
than any of his predecessors of the APP
preparation made by congress- for the
contingent expenses of the White House.
The contingent fund covers stationery,
kilograms, books for library, purchase of
new carpets and furniture, cost of keep
ing carriage and horses, etc. The APP
preparation for Grants last presidential
year was only s $1,000, and Grant spent
every cen Hayes, at the end of his
first year in the White House, had an

Speaking of English customs on big

note that n few years ago the courts de-

run specials at fancy rates. Since then
the knowing ones have regularly ten
tered before witnesses, the legal fare,
and this being refused have engaged

destination in grand style. The next
day they sue the company for their *

paid into court. Several hundred do

HEALTH IN HOT CLIMATES.


Among the question before the scien.
tific congress which has just closed its
session at Berlin was that Of acclima-
t~ization and the hygienic rules which
white men need to observe in tropical
countries. In view of the rapid de yelop-
ment of white enterprises within the
tropic, it has become a question of prime
importance to determine how the north
ern races can best preserve their health
and energy in southern ATTITUDES. 1t is
hoped that much practical information
on this question may be adduced from
the large amount of testimony that was
laid before the Berlin congress.
The cable informs us that DIR.
Schweinfurth expressed the opinion at
this meeting that white men can live in
very fair health in all parts of tropical
Africa where embarrassing is feasible.

the Denkas, perhaps the greatest native
cattle raisers in Africa, and also among
other large tribes who never saw cattle,

of explorers like Joseph Thompson, who
tells of h comparative salubrity of

The Buffalo Echo summarizes the re-
suit in johnson county and comments
thus:
1--WE have met the enemy, and most of
him is ours Out of a possible fifteen
officers the Democrats have secured ten
and perhaps eleven. establishing their
position as the dominant party of John
son county. From the fact Of its being
the first campaign in the county's history
wherein the political line was clearly de
fined, it possessed an interest more
strongly marked than any previous one,
and we doubt il future elections will sur
pass the late contest in this respect. The
Democrats OF the county have reason to
feel proud of their victory. The wal was
waged against a worst foe, and it is this
fact that civ,s grsater gloIy to the success
achieved.

agitation ON the subject Of the need OF
an increased mail service, concluding as
follows.
