The Local Option Law.

We to-day publish a full text o
this law, and advise all Of our reader:
TO read it carefully and lay it aside
for future reference. 1t will b.
needed when the campaign against
whisky opens in this and adjoining
counties. Though not as per
feet as ProhibitioDists desired
it is nevertheless, in our opinion, 6
decided Improvement on the ole
law, and places whisky at a much
greater disadvantage.
Much has been said as to it's ef
feet upon the existing statutes. A
careful reading will show that no law
general or special, will be affected
by it until after an election shall
have been held under it as provided
After that time the liquor traffic
will be subject 10 the restrictions il
prescribes.

ing a history Of prohibitory and
temperance Legislation in Missis
sippi, from its inception to date, and
containing a full exposition of the
present statutes on the subject,
court decisions affecting the same,
utterances OF the churches on the
subject, and vast amount Of infor-
nation as TO the practical workings
of Prohibition where tried. 1t should
have a wide circulation, because,
after reading it, any man Of average
intelligence will be able to take

The Common School Fund.

The reason why only a partial
distribution Of the common school
fund is being male does not seem tn
be generally understood. A the
question has been 40 much discuss
ed of late, there is NO reason why
every one who reads the newspapers
should fail to understand it. The
funds in the treasury, from the fact
that appropriations for the years
1884 and 1885. So far exceeded re
ceipts, had run 50 low that there
vas not enough tn distribute the
full amount. On this account the
Legislature passed an act directing
the Auditor to Issue no warrant for
the com mon school fund, till after
April the lSt, except tor monies
actually paid in to the credit of it.
The amount paid 10 to the credit
OF this fund by saloons, in round
numbers, was found to be ninety
five Thousand dollars, and this
amount is now being distributed to
the different counties. 1t is all the
funds available, and is therefore,
only q partial distribution. After
April the lst, the balance will follow,
and each county will then get all
it is entitled TO under the law. The
failure to make the full distri button
is attributable to no causes except a
scarcity of funds State Ledger.
1t is expected, too, that the s per
cent borrow authorized will enable
the treasury to meet the immediate
demands of the common school fund.

one author says "Rheumatsm is due to the
presence in the blood Of a vegetable organism OF
definite characters"
Another says Itis due to the presence OF a
poison in the blood which Is of the nature of a
miasm"
The disease having origin In the Dlood, 1t il
reasonable to suppose that it mast be cured BY
remedies directed to the blood.
A successful remedy must produce certain
changes in the composition OF the blood, and
when this has been accomplished, all pain,
swelling AMI stiffness of the joints substde.
This accounts for the reason why external APP
pllcations fail to produce permanent relief.
Bat we now have the remedy which acts like

The Age of Hamlet.

Wilson Barrett's theory is that
Hamlet was only 19 years old. Prof.
Henry Morley's theory is: "Shakes-
peare's play opens with the watch
over the sea against attack by Fortin-
bras for recovery of land lost thirty
years before, when the father of For
tinbras, the King of Norway, lost the
land and with it his life, wagered by
him in duel with the father of Ham
let. The time elapsed since that duel,
which was on the day of Hamlet's
birth, is precisely told in the fifth act
(pages 1861, where the gravedigger
says that he became q gravedigger
that day our last King Hamlet Ger
came Fortinbras,' which was 'the very
day that young Hamlet was born, ,
and presently adds, 4 have been sex
ton here, man and boy, thirty years.
Thus Shakespeare clearly fixes Ham
let's age as 80"

When you have seen ST. Sophia, he
says, and the Mosque of Suliman, you
have seen all the mosques. The Hip
podrome is g. delusion, for there is
nothing left of it but the ground; the
so-callcd reservoir of the thousand
and one columns is q snare, for the
columns number only 224, and the
reservoir has not yet been excavated.
The Sultan's palaces are equally with
out interest so far as Frank can see
them, for, like most crowned heads,
Turkish stltans have never been
famous for their taste, and, further
more, the religion of Mohemmed is
hostile to art. AS for the street archi-
lecture of Constantinople, it can hard
ly be said to exist. The houses are,
with the exception of the European
quarter OF Pera, wooden shanties.
which are constantly being devoured
by fire. The best thing for the stranger
to do is to give up all ideas of sight
seeing, and simply to wander in the
maze of streets.

Mrs. Hiles, of Milwaukee, who has
taken up the work interrupted by the
death of Helen Hunt Jackson, gave a
thrilling narrative of the pitiful condi.
ton of affairs in Southern California,
az witnessed by her. She thought the
case almost hopeless, unless a first.
class and incorruptible attorney is OBJ.
tanned to conduct the fight to regain
possession of the lands from which
these Indians have been driven.
Senator Dawes thought the passage
OF the bill IN the House In reference to
their case would right their wrongs
without hiring an attorney.
Several persons expressed the opin.
ion that it was useless to await gov
eminent action. The question of hir.
ing counsel was finally referred to g
special committee.
The remainder okthe session, which
closed the conference, was devoted to
the discussion of various phases of the
question of Indian citizenship and
civilization and the reports of the
work done by auxiliary societies.
Judge Campbell, of Philadelphia,

GIVING UP HUPE.
Wisconsin Democrats at Washington
Think That Delaney Will be Besten.

wisconsin Democrats at Washington
Think That Delaney Will be Beaten.
A Washington dispatch of the 22d
says: Wisconsin Democrats in this
city are not as confident of Delaney's
election as a. week ago, but rather
show signs of being alarmed at the
state of affairs in that district. They
did put their faith principally in the
traditional 3, 600 Democratic ma ority
in Dodge County, but that faith isnow
seriously shaken. One of the most
prominent Wisconsin Democrats here,
when spoken to about the campaign in
the Second District this evening,
seemed very much bewildered and
finally acknowledged to have received
bad news from there for his side, but
added that while there seemed to be
considerable detection in the Demo
cratic ranks in some parts of the dis
trict, all reports he had received as
sured him of the election of Delaney.
Notwithstanding some other Wiscon-
sin Democrats express the fear that
Delaney may succumb to the resent
ment of Bragg and his friends. Della.
ney's resignation has not yet been
accepted, and it may not be at all in
case of his defeat.
