Requiring American consuls abroad to
make monthly reports On agriculture and
horticulture.
The house bill to enlarge the powers
and duties of the department of agricult-
ure and to make it an executive depart
ment having been taken up, arguments
were made by Senators Morgan and Plumb
against the amendment reported by the
committee on agriculture to strike put the
fifth section OF the bill, which transfers
the weather service of the signal service
bureau to the department of agriculture,
and by Mr.. Platt against the bill itself on
the ground that if such a new executive
department were to be created it should
embrace the interests not only of agri-
culture but of manufactures, mining, com
merce, transportation and labor. Finally
the bill was reoommitted.
The house bill to prevent the employ
ment of alien labor upon public buildings
or other public works in the various de-
partments of the government having been
reached, Mr.. Teller moved an amend
ment requiring public buildings to be con-
structed wholly of materials made and
prepared within the United States, and
limiting contracts to residents and citi-
zens of the United States. After some
discussion the bill VEN over without
action and the senate at 4 o'clock ad-

Hardly month passes but we read of ter
rible explosions, and loss of life from
natural gas.
One writer has raked up Chinese history,
wherein it appears, that away back in the
time when the famous Chinese wall was
building, before the use of gas wells was
discovered, terrible explosion took place.
The big wells in some way got the start of
the little ones, so that enormous volumes of
air were sucked down into those subterra-
mean magazines. When the air reached GER
tain proportions, the whole thing went off
like leaky gasoline stove. The result was
horrible in the destruction of lives. The
same writer predicts similar conditions I'M
DERIVING the great natural gas belt of this
country, from Toledo, through Ohio, Indi-
ana and Kentucky, whereby that whole vast
region might be ripped up to the depth of
1900 feet, leaving chasm for the waters of
the great lakes to pour down into, blottlne
out every human being in this now densely
populated valley from the face of the earth.
That writer might easily have shown further,
that throughout our whole country not only
in densely populated regions and cities, but
in country and village houses as well, natu-
raj gases far more dangerous than is found
in the lake regions, are carrying off not only
'pig-tal' Cinnamon, but our own families
and friends, during the hot waves of July
and August.
Scores of people are dying daily from
typhoid fever, diarrhGa, dysentery, cholera
morbus, and infant summer complaints; all
caused by poisonous gases and ferments, far
worse than hydrogen gas or dynamite in their
explosions. Fortunately this latter danger
can all be ayerted, by the use of simple
old fashioned remedy, ,Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment, used internally, as explained in a
pamphlet sent free to anyone by |. S. John
son 4 Co, Boston, Mass. No matter if YOU
have used this remedy before, it will pay
you to get bottle and read the directions, or
send for the pamphlet just to learn how to
use it economically. aug 2,d&wlw

More English Opinion.

From the People, London, England.
The Republican Convention assembled at
Chicago has selected Mr.. Benjamin Harrison
as its representative in the Presidential cleo
ton by large majority over Mr.. Blaiue
The defeat of Mr. Blaine is a matter of con-
siderable eongratulation among Englishmen.
For that astute politician not only represents
some of the most Objectionable aspects of
American political life, but he is also no
friend of England and is the nominee of the
Irish party. In the contest between Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland, however, il is
not to Mr. Harrison that this country should
wish success. For the question at issue is,
broadly speaking question of Free Trade
against Protection. If Mr. Cleveland should
be reelected the United States Tariff will be
modified very materially in the direction OF
Free Trade, result which cannot, of course,
fail to be beneficial to the trade of other
countries, and especially of our own. Presi-
dent Cleveland in accepting his nomination
by his own party has abstained, from motive:
of prudence, from repeating his sentiments
on the subject of the Tariff. But should hi
be reelected there can be no doubt that he
will find means to give effect to them.

The abolition of the internal revenue sys-
tenn, as advocated by the Republican party,
has for many Yeas been the leading doctrine
of eminent Prohibitionists. In the National
Temperance Advocate for February Mrs.
Ellen Foster, the famous temperance speak
er and writer, said THE repeal of all in
ternal revenue laws is desired by all
temperance people on moral and economic
grounds" Her reasons are that the natl 1nal
government, by tax supervision of the liquor
traffic, gives recognition to the business,
while it does not materially influence the
price or consumption of drinks, and i'm
pedes State prohibitory legislation.
Henry b. Metcalf of Rhode Island, a
well known temperance man, has an article
in the same journal in which he takes a
similar stand, on the grounds that the ma
tioual tax has built up powerful oligarchy
that defies all moral laws - that the liquor
traffic has greatly thriven through the quasi
participation of the government, and that the
moran sense Oh ttie HatlOn Das Deen greatly
debauched by the receipt of enormous sums
of money collected from the beer and wills
ky interests"
Miss Frances +. willard. President of the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, in recent pamphlets and speeches, has
advocated the removal of this whiskey tax,
because, in her own words, lit stands as the
strongest bulwark between the liquor traffic
and annihilaton.' Horace Waters, in re-
cent pamphlet declared that the evils of
liquor traffic are largely to be charged to
those Christian voters who have permitted
the government to become its principal part
ner and all powerful supporter"

Canada Is Very Considerate.

There is slight doubt but that we Canadians
will have a large sympathy with President
Cleveland's candidature, and it would be I'M
fortunate if any expression of this sympathy
on our part should serve to embarrass the
Democratic party in those States where the
real contest centres. The Southern States
have very friendly feeling towards the
Canadian Provinces, but they are already
strong in their adhesion to the Democratic
party. The present contest will be close.
The odds are heavy in favor of the Repub-
licans; but, inasmuch as we desire to see
President Cleveland successful it is most
certainly advisable that the Canadian press
should guard against embarrassing his party
and precluding his success by rendering his
Administration indiscriminate and fulsoms
compliments.
