WoULD.BE STATES.
Senator Voorhees, in Favor Of Ad-
hitting Dakota, Montana and
Washington at Once.

New YORK, Jan. ia Washing
ton special to the post says: Last
week Senator Voohees introduced a
bill to admit Washington Territory
as a State, and yesterday he intro
duced q bill to admit Montana as a
State. The Senator was asked if he
intended to make the admission of
Dakota conditional ON the admission
of Montana, as it has been reported
that the Democrats were disposed to
do. He replied, 81 can speak only for
myself. l think the best arrange
ment we can make is to admit Dako-
ia, Montana and Washington togeth-
er. They must all come in soon, and
they might as well come now. l
don't see how we can prevent Dako-
ia coming in. She has a voting pop
ulation of $4,000, and is certainly en-
titled to admittance. I thought at
first that / should oppose the divis-
ion of Dakota, but l do not see how 1
can. The Territory has an area of
five times my own State, and South
Dakota will be about as large as Ohio
and Indiana. Montana has voting
population Of 100000, and Washing
toh voting population of 10000.
There are not fifteen Congressional
districts in the country with the pop
ulation of Washington, and not a
hundred with that of Montana. Da-
kota is Republican and Montana
Democratic, and 1 am confident will
remain SO. Washington is close, and
may be won by either party. If she
comes into the Union by Democratic
votes under Democratic administra-
ton, our chances in the new State
will be all the better. 1t seems to
me much the best plan to take in
these three Territories at once. They
are entitled to it, and politically it
will be as fair and practicable an ar
rangement as can be-"
Several prominent Democrats are
reported to agree with Mr.. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Springer expresses the opinion
that the House Committee on Terri
tories will report favorably on the
division and admission of Dakota
unless the party shall hold a caucus
upon the subject. In that event it is
his opinion that the decision would
be adverse.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The Su-
premc Court of the United States TO-
day decided that the taxes i'm
posed upon "drummers" or CONNER
cial travellers by certain States are
unconstitutional. The case in point
was that of Walling VS.. the State of
Michigan. Walling was a whisky
drummer from Chicago, and tho
State of Michigan wanted to tax him
$500 for selling his goods within her
borders, the Revised Statutes of that
State imposing such an assessment
upon all who sell goods by sample
from other States. Walling took his
case to the Supreme Court of Michi-
gan, and was there directed to pay
the tax. He appealed, and the
United States Supreme Court holds
that only Congress by an Interstate
commerce law can enforce a drum
mer's tax such as that imposed by
Michigan, and which is upon the
Statutes of a number of States. This
decision will, it is believed, nullify
the drummers' taxes in all States.

Diphtheria.
Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Lam aware of the fact that many
newspapers suppress as far as posi-
BILE any information that is in the
least calculated to create any uneasi-
ness in the minds of those who are
in the habit of going to town, for in
stance, such as smallpox, cholera and
numerous other diseases of a conta-
gious or infectious nature. Now l
wish to call your attention to the fact
that there is and has been q good
many more cases of diphtheria in the
county than have been reported. l
have heaxd of but few cases in your
city, it has been mostly confined to
the rural districts and there is no
denying its malignant type, for GER
tainly not less than seventy per cent
of all cases heard of by me have
proven fatal. The disease is of an
endemic form, that is it is confined
to localities. it were to become
epidemic, there is no telling how
many children throughout the coun-
ty might die of this domestic pesti-
lence. Is it not well to fully inform
parents through the secular press, in
order that they may be fully on their
guard and thereby be prepared to
shun any infected locality? Diphthe-
ria is in no sense contagious disease
high authority to the contrary
notwithstanding-but it is highly in
fictitious. 1t acts with intensity in
confined centers, in small towns and
crowded school rooms. One child
with a mild form of Diphtheria
might from its communication with
other children entail immense de-
struction upon community, for that
reason 1 think it should be the duty
of every Christian parent 10 note
any throat affection no matter how
slight, and keep their child from
school until it is ascertained that it is
not of the character of Diphtheria.
If any family should be visited by
this dreaded scourge isolation is the
idea, that is a prompt separation Of
the we'll children from the ones sus-
peCted of having the trouble, and as
soon as there is suspected case there
should be no delay in sending for a
physician, for if there is a malady
that befalls the young that requires
prompt measures, this is certainly
one of them. There is but little that
is absolutely known in reference to
the cause of Diphtheria. Psychologists
of to-day regard it as one of the germ
diseases, and there is no question but
what by aid Of the microscope many
of the heretofore obscure troubles,
will before long be made quite plain,
by some it is considered a local
trouble primarily giving rise to a
Taxaenia or Blood-poisoning later.
1t matters not the cause, let us en-
deavor if possible to stay its progress
by extreme watchfulness, by the best
sanitary surroundings and prompt
medical measures and thereby have
fewer little mounds in the Cemeteries
to remind us of a duty undone.

Our Frankfort correspondent has
interviewed Hon. I. A. Spalding, who
intimates that he may be candidate
for Congress, provided Capt. Ellis, of
Daviess county, does not run. Mr..
Spalding seems to be under the i'm
preston that Capt. Ellis has aban-
doncd the idea of entering the race.
The Messenger received information
last night from the most reliable
source that Capt. Ellis would certain
ly announce himself a candidate in
due time and would run, no matter
who his opponent may be. Some
doubt as to his intentions has existed
of late, in this community, but it may
now be put at rest.-Owensboro

half the expense and why should it
not do just as good work ?-Rich-

What did you think of Niagara Falls?"
'Oh, they were real nice but 1 didn't
care much for them"
How did you like Washington"
"Oh, just tolnble. The Capitol was
pretty fine, but don't take much stock in
such things"
did you go to New York;"
Yes, we dawdled round there a week,
and got tired of it. Brooklyn Bridge was a
good deal of show, but didn't see any,
thing else cared for much"
We'll, now, do tell me-what did YOU
see that you'd like most to see again.
What pleased you more than anything
else?"
