The course of the Republican Senate in
refusing to pass the Retaliation Bill
will be qualification TO the rabid ele-
ment of the rarty, but it will inevitably
call the attention OF the country TO a
fragrant refusal of the Republicans TO
support the President in his attempt TO
defend our rights.
Having taken the responsibility of de
feating the treaty which would have
settled the difficulty with Canada, they
at the same time declared that the treaty
did not sufficiently protect our rights, but
behold when the President asks for full
authority to protect our rights they de
cline to pass the bill, and all without any
consideration except party

A Kansas lady heard that her husband

with it in tone OF gentle prohibition

to pause as II a blizzard were on the ram

splinters before the talismanic
touch, the carousers left the
halfswallowed cocktail and fed. The
decante:s and counter, glasses and chairs
disappeared with a few resounding
crashes, and all that was left Of that sa-
loon was chaos. Then this duliful wife
took her husband tenderly by the ear and
waltzed him home. where, with the aid OF
a buggy whip, she recovered the lost
affection and re-estabiished the domestic
relations of "Home, Sweet Home"

THE CHURCH CONGRESS At MASCHEs-
TER. ESGLAND The great Church Con
gress held in Manchester, England, du-
ring last week closed Saturday. The
most sensational paper read was the one
Of Canon Luckocb, arguing that there is
an intermediate state after death for the
faithful, where they undergo the process
of r, stOraliOn or development towards
perfection. Prayers for the dead, he ex-
planned, were only held 10 be OF service
10 those who had died in the faith.
Another paper, by Rev Sir George W.
Cox, was equally strong in its repudia-
ton of the doctrines Of eternal punish
ment and he, like Archdeacon Farrar,
quoted largely from The fathers, remark
ing that the more We rise TO the faith Of
these great Christian thinkers and teach
ers the less We shall care for dramatic
pictures Of a great white throne, with
angels msrshaling mankind TO great
assize. Another paper read with
great effect by its author, Archdeacon
Farrar, repudiaied the old-fashioned no.
TONS of future punishment. According
to such notions he vast majority of man
kind dying in unfepeniant sin passed
after life into a lake Of fire and brim-
stone, where they were tortured with in
conceivable sgonies In material flames,
and THESE endless milenniums Of ven.
geance were Ieckoned from the moment
Of death.

ScurfY-Legged Chickens.


Scuriy or scabby legs IN fowls is a
disease somewhat similar in character
to manage in dogs and scab in sheep.
1t is due to tho presence of a small mite
only about ono eight-hundredth Of an
inch in length. These mites live and
breed IN the spongy growth under the
scales or scabs. The first thing to be
done is to place the fowls IN dry
room, where their feet and legs will be
protected from mud and water Then
take equal parts of kerosene and lard.
and stir In enough flowers Of sulphur
TO make q thick ointment With
small and soft paints brush apply The
ointment to the legs and feet of the
afflicted fowls, and repeat tbe applica.
ton daily until the scabs disappear.

be sufficient to effect n cure. Gagged
birds are often afflicted with this same
disease, especially when kept in large
numbers aud their cages are not rcgu-
larry and thoroughly cleaned. M y

sir; Being satisfied that your many
readers are laboring under a wrong
impression (for which you are not

death of Dan G. Garter, of Christian
county, KY, feel it my duty as his
physician (for eight years. to make
the following statement:
l attended HIM in spell of sick

came near dying of general paralysis,
from which he never entirely recov-
cred, aud subject at any moment TO
be stricken down. His old cook and
housekeeper told me that few days
before his death he was Frustrated in
the field, and was unable to rise for
four hours. Then his brother, Claud
Carter, told me that the day before
ho died he complained of his feet and
legs feeling uncomfortable, as though
they were asleep. lie also complain
ed to my wife, who met him Same
day,of great pain in the region of the
heart; and expected to come to see
Inc soon and consult me about his
condition and be healed. When |
was sent for, the day he died, several
persons were present and heard the
message one of them asked me what
was the matter with Dan Carter. |
told him | feared paralysis, which l
found was so. When | got there
quito a number of friends, say,from
six to ten or more, were in attend
ance. There was no evidence OF life
about him except the beating of the
heart, and breathing about six times
to the minute. Inspiration hurried
or gasping, expiration slow, which
about thirty minutes be-
fore death. DR.. Allen, living near
by, got there before l did, and told
ne he saw no difference in Mr.. Car
er's condition then than when he
vas there, and had nothing.for him OK
'ept TO give morphine hypodermical-

wo or three months he would never

1t appears that the Republicans do
not propose to nominate a candidate
for Congress this year. II they do not.
they will have secret under
standing among themselves and vote
almost solidly for Gordon, the Pro-
hibition candidate. Gordon was an
original Republican OF the most in
tense character and probably has not
changed his convictions one iota upon
the fundamental principles of the Re-
publican party. lie has only taken
up, in addition TO his old time views
the Prohibition hobby. lie is still
good enough Republican, therefore,
for large majority of that party, and
they will gladly vote for him if they
think they see an opportunity to de-
feat Democrat with him. Gordon
is fine speaker, and will talk only
Prohibition from the stump, but he
knows very well how to pitch wink
to the Republicans around the corner.
The Republicans could come nearer
electing him by a still hunt than by an
open coalitionwith the prohibitionists.
If elected he would vote with the Re-
publicans upon every party measure.
The Democratic plurality at the last
Presidential election was about 1000
The Prohibitionists polled only a few
hundred votes. They claim now,
however, very large gains, and, with
a man OF the mental force and or
atorical ability of Gordon, hope to run
their vote up into the thousands, even
without Republican assistance. They
point beautifully TO the large increase
in the Prohibition vote all over the
United States, and confidently assert
that they will show their proportion
Of gains. We do not believe that the
Prohibition vote in the district this
year will equal 1000, but we do believe
it will be mainly drawn from the
Democratic party. If 1000 former
Democrats should vote for Fisk and
Brooks and Gordon, and 10000 Re-
publicans should silently slip in a Ibal-
lot for Gordon, too, Capt. Ellis ma
iority would BIO none too large. DEM
ocrats had best keep an eye on this
Congression-
n candidate.
