Strict truth is desirable, and never more
desirable than now. The earnest men of
the Chicago Blaine club, whose figures in
dicating a clear majority for Mr.. Blaine on
the second ballot were telegraphed the
other day, do not appear to consider that
there may never be a second ballot, if their
impressions are right regarding the judg-
ment of delegates The frank and friendly
comparison of opinions, which will precede
any balloting whatever, is not unlikely to
bring about considerable harmony of pur-
pose and action. If that conference dis
closes that more than majority OF the entire
convention think, and represent republican
constituents who think, that Mr.. Blaine is the
strongest candidate who can be nominated,
il is quite likely that there may never be
more than one ballot But this conference
must first be frank and friendly, and if il
discloses that majority of the convention
believe, and represent constituents who be-
lieve, that some other candidate would be
stronger, the utmost Difference 10 that
opinion will be shown by those republicans
who prefer Mr.. Blaine. For, men and

Another Big Raft.

Since James d. Leary attempted to
bring a big timber raft from Nova
Scotia to New York, last winter, and
which went to pieces in great storm,
an effort has been made to procure
legislation from congress prohibiting
further ventures of the kind. But ii
was finally decided that such legislation
would be unconstitutional, and might
establish bad precedent in preventing
the free navigation of large and small
bodies of water. Accordingly Mr..
Leary is engaged in an enterprise of
even greater magnitude than the first,
which was so unfortunate, and as it
will be somewhat different in construc-
ton he hopes ii may be successful.
The new raft will be composed of logs
bound together by chains, but in the
shape of manageable vessel. The
gigantic raft is now in course of con-
struction in the Bay of Fundy and will
be launched early in July. 1t will be
seven hundred feet long-one hundred
forty feet longer than the other raft
and will have six lofty masts, square
rugged, like those of a ship, and carrying
sail, which will be used as an auxiliary
power to the tow-boat. In the mass
thirty thousand logs will be included,
and the cost of the whole is estimated
at 100000. The craft will have sixty
five feet beam, will be thirty-five feet
in depth and will be fitted with a
house on deck to accommodate the
crew of fourteen men, with provisions
for thirty days, but it is expected that
the trip to New York will be made in
six days. The course towed over will
be first to Martha's Vineyard and then
westerly to New York through the
Sound. Mr.. Leary thinks that it will
be next to impossible to disintegrate
the big raft. In fact he does not admit
that the first one was entirely pulled
apart, but that only few hundred logs
were detached from one end of it.

CONGRESSIONAL proceedings are of
considerable interest. In the senate
Mr.. Stewart spoke on his bill to require
majority Gnstead of two-thirds) to
override presidents veto. A majority
of senators voted not to consider the
fisheries treaty in open session. A bill
was passed creating department Of
labor. Mr.. Blair introduced bill to
preserve the Sabbath; also a joint
resolution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution to the effect that no
state shall ever make or maintain any
law respecting an establishment of re-
ligion or prohibiting the free exercise
of it, and that every state shall establish
and maintain a system of free public
schools, but that no money raised by
taxation shall ever be appropriated,
applied or given for a school, institu-
ton, corporation or person whereby
instruction is given in any doctrine,
tenets, beliefs, ceremonials or observa-
tions peculiar to any religious sect.
The senate committee on finance or
dered an adverse report on the frac-
tional currency bill, but in its place a
bill will be reported reducing the fee
upon postal notes for less than one
dollar to one cent. In the house the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill has been under con-
sideration. The diplomatic bill was
passed. The bill to establish depart
ment of agriculture was also passed
A bill prohibiting the employment of
convict labor by the government was
passed. The house debated the ad-
mission of South Dakota as a state and
the post-office appropriation bill.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINEs.-A visit to DR..
Green's laboratory at Woodbury., n. j., has
considerably changed our views, and es-
pecially our preiudices in regard TO what is
generally known as " standard patent medi-
cines" OF course we are getting to that
age in life when we are forced TO conclude
lie itself is a humbug, and naturally dis
trust anything that has not withstood long
and tried experiences. Being physician, we
had the curiosity to know how such a sale
of two medical preparations could be sus-
tanned for so many years. The perfect sys-
TEN upon which the business is conducted
and the pharmaceutical arrangements for
the manufacture of the two recipes, with
which we were made acquainted, are suf-
fCiently convincing TO MS that the AUGUST
FLOWER, for dyspepsia and liver complaints,
aud BoSCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP, for throat
and lung troubles, We're, for the complaints
they are recommended, most excellent
remedies. We only regret that in much of
our practice medical ethics prevent MS from
prescribing them without making the
formulas public. When we were shown
the great quantity of voluntary letters hav-
ing been forwarded DIR. Green from all
parts of the country, and from all classes of
people-lawyers, ministers and doctors
giving "A description of their ailments, test-
monialS of their cures, etc, we feel like in
dorsing Dr. Green's suggestion that the gov
eminent accept such valuable formulas
and license them for general use by giving
protection to the inventor same as patents

Vote Aid to the Sioux
City & Northern.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The railroads of
the Northwest are in for season of de-
mOraliZed rates and freight war. and
generally recognize that the fight is in
evitable. A meeting of the managers
was held here to-day to consider the
BurlingtOn's notice of a withdrawal of
the guarantee that the Burlington &
Northern would maintain tariff rates.
1t was clearly understood that the Bur
lingtOn would take no further response
bility IN the matter, and that the Bur
lington q Northern was on the war
path, and determined to get business
away from the Minnesota d Northwest
ern. or else make it improbable for
that line. The st. Paul filed a ten days
notice of withdrawal and the chairman
ruled that it was not necessary, as the
organization was built up On the
Burlington's guarantee, and that,
having been withdrawn, no longer
existed. 1t was then resolved
to continue the association ten days
longer, during which time the policy of
the Burlington e. Northern would de-
yelop, and then hold another meeting to
further consider the situation. With
this understanding adjournment was
had, subject to call of the chairman.
The Burlington IL Northern, it is an
nounced this evening, has signalized its
independent position by 10 per cent
reduction of through rates on ali classes
of commodities from New York via Chi
cago to st. Paul and Minneapolis. Its
new tariff is for firSt-claSs 80 cents, sec

A MAD DOG SCARE.
Several Persons Are Bitten by q
Supposed Mad Dog.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 31.-The latest
mad dog sensation is furnished by the
town of Otisville, q small village near
Flint. On Thursday last large dog
which was confined in a barn with a
calf made a furious attack upon the bo-
vine, literally chewing it to pieces. The
rabid canine then escaped from the
barn and ran through the streets of the
village. swapping at or biting every per-
son with whom 1t came in contact in its
mad career. An old man named Fuller
was badly bitten in the leg by the en-
ragged animal, and Nelson Valentine
and little fOur-year-Old girl named
Wisner were also unlucky enough to
feel the sharpness of the dogs teeth.
The dog, which to all appearances was
suffering from a fit of the rabies, was
finally killed. but not before it had Bit
ten quite number of other CANNES in
the village. The victims of the affair
are under the care of physicians, who
are using every effort TO save their pa
tientS from the terrible fate which to all
appearances threatens them.

West contests are no great trials of
skill, and what interest the curriers'
have in the Carnival all centers in the
great bonspiel which commences to-day,
in which the Kinks play off, rink against
down to the last two. There
was considerable objection ex-
pressed to the division of the
East and West, and even the winners
could not attach any great significance
to the silver punch bowl and the four
gold medals under the circumstances.

The clubs were drawn upon the ice
for East and West. One rink from Min

from Waupaca. one from Portage, Wis.
two from Milwaukee and three
from Chicago constituted the East; and
