Outlines of his Inaugural speech
just Finished.
Phiiadelphis Times.
President-elect Harrison is said to
have completed his inaugural ad'
dress, and the last paragraph was
copied on the. typewriter by steno>
grapher Tlbbetts Saturday afternoon.
Though it is still subject to revision,
there is little probability that any
material changes will be made and
1t IS believed that the labor of his
stenographer is finished. In pre-.
pairing the address, Harrison dictated
a paragraph at a time, and when the
matter was written out he revised it
carefully and then re-dictated the
whole from the revised copy. Many
of the paragraphs have been subjected
to as many as three revisions, and
not unfrequently a whole paragraph
has been copied because it was
thought best to leave out or substi'
tute some particular word. In the
preparation of the address Harrison
has been very careful. He has moi
depended upon bis own memory fol
anything. but has been careful to
consult records and secure absolute
data upon which to base his state
ments or from which to draw his con-
illusions.

Sacramento, Cat. +, has passed an ordi-

under seventeen years OF age to smoke
cigarettes within the city limits.
It has been computed that the power
required to drive the tenpenny nails con-
tanned in q full keg would draw a wagon

A Maine historian says that in old times
the fine ladies of Eastport, then n very

beautiful compilations by sleeping with
their heads out Of the windows in foggy

1t is curious thing in New York local
politics that undertallers have been sing

last few years. Within the last three
years six undertakers have been elected

the fence had finally been stopped up.
The value of tobacco smoke as disin-
fectant was severely tried by putting
cigar or cigarette smoke over a piece of
linen which had been dipped into a
liquid containing microbes of cholera,
anthrax and pneumonia. In every case
the effect of the smoke was to check the
growth of the organisms as compared
with microbes not subjected to smoke,
and iii some cases it killed them entirely.

Isn't This MoeAerys
New York Herald.

The constitution of the United States
guarantees freedom of speech and liberty
of the press. So does the constitution of
every state in the Union. The American
people boast of these rights.
Yet, under the antiquated libel laws
that still remain in force, no newspaper
in the United States can report the pro-
eeedings of a public political meeting
without risk of civil and criminal La
bility.
A mass meeting Of citizens is held in
Cooper Union TO denounce political or
official corruption. If any one Of the
speakers makes a statement which can
be construed into an unwarFanted refiee-
ton upon an officer, candidate or an
individual the paper that reports it as
part of the news of the day may become
the victim of libel suit.
Are not such laws a mockery in a
country where forty constitutions declare
in favor of free speech and free press?
IN this respect we are behind England.
That country has recently blotted out
this absurdity from its law. BY recent
act of parliament the proceedings of
public meetings are put on the same
footing as parliamentary and judicial

percentage of increase:

OF the Eastern and Northern states
New York gained 1873, 500, an increase of
IS per cent; New Jersey, 46 ,344, an in
crease of IS per cent, and Massachusetts
Go ,S07, an increase of % per cent In
these states the greater part of the gain
comes from natural causes, and but a
small per cent. from immigration.
The greatest gains are found in the
Northwest. That of Minnesota is, III
gross, 64,272, or 81 per cent, aud of
Michigan 100 500, or so per cent. Other
Northwestern states show about the same
ratio of increase.
In the central or, as it is usually
called, the Western belt, illinois
shows a gain of 79,Q43, or Il per cent. :;
Missouri a gain of 60 ,09I, or IL per cent. i,
and Kansas gain of ~, 462 or II per
cent.
The ratio of gain in the states referred
to above was greater than in Texas by
the following sums: Alabama, SIS;
Arkansas, 2-5; Kentucky, 5: Tonnes
see 80; West Virginia, l-5; Vr-
ginia, l-5; Maryland, . 3-5; New
York, SIS; New Jersey, 3 s-5; Massa-
chusetts, 4 SIS: Minnesota, 6 40, Mich
igan, 6; Illinois. 10; Missouri, As;
Kansas, 5 2-5.
The most significant fact contained in
the election returns is yet TO be stated.
Between 1880 and 1854 the increase in the
voting population of Texas was So $50.
From this it appears that the ratio of
gain since 1884 has fallen from 81 to per
cent. for the period of the presidential
