THIRD DIST. or LOUISIANA.


The Republicans are making much
talk in Northern political circles over
the Third Congressional District Of
Louisiana A vacancy was created
by the death Of Hon. 4. j. Gay.
The Republican convention met at
franklin August 5th, Minor, OF
Terrebonnc was nominated over
Darral, both scalawags. A report
of the convention naively says,
chow much was paid for votes can
not be said exactly as the price
ranged all the way from one dollar
to fifty" One Of Mr.. Minors adj
mirers in placing him before the
convention praised his man-''as a
protectionist he has no superior. ="
No doubt the Republican National
Committee will aid all it can to elect
Minor; the House is close, and
ga proteciionist who has no superior
must not be beaten-.the high tariff
thieves can pay for such men.
The Democratic press claims the
district is certainly Democratic. Or
this we have our doubts. Coleman
was elected in a stronger Democratic
district by the voters staying away
from the polls or voting for him. 1t
may be that the Democrats 10 the
country will prove more reliable than
those Of the city. 1t is certain that
the election Of Mr.. Minor will be a
misfortune to the Democratic party
greater than the loss Of a congress.

M'DOW HELD.

The Coroner's Jury Returns a Verdict
Charging the Doctor and His Colored
Coachman with the Murder of Editor
Dawson at Charleston, S. e.
CHARLESTON, s. c., March 15.-The coro-
ner's inquiry into the killing Of Captain
Dawson was concluded Thursday. Police
man Gordon detailed conversation he had
with DR.. Mellow when the latter surren-
dered himself. The only material fact
brought out by Gordon's evidence
was that Mellow had admitted killing
Dawson. G. W. Harper, a colored hack
man, testified that he was on the opposite
side of the street from McDow's office at the
time of the shooting, and that he heard the
words: You said you would take my life,
now l have taken yours" Harper also
testified that colored woman, a vender of
peanuts, peeped through the window OF
the doctors Office, and was ordered away
by McDow's cook, Emma Drayton. Moses
Johnson, McDow's lcoachman, testified that
be heard the shots in the doctors office and
was ordered by McDow's wife to investi-
gate the cause, but he did not do SO. Emma
Drayton, the cook, also denied all knowledge
Of the killing of Captain Dawson except that
she heard the pistol shot. She contradict
cd much of the testimony of the other wit
nesses. The coroner rendered verdict
declaring that the deceased, Captain F. w.
D"wson, came to his death from gun-shot
wound inflicted by a gun in the hands of
DR.. T. B. Mellow, and that Moses johnson
(colored) was an accessory before the fact.

Now I in the Spring Of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely arranges
that we should live ON foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose of supplying heat
to the body; the chemical operation nece:
sary to transform fat into heatis the exclu
slve work of the liver, and so during the
time stated it is constantly congested.
With the approach of warm weather oul
diet changes to muscle-producing food, an6
the work Of the liver is much lessened. Ir
the majority of cases, however, it is unable
to completely throw off the excess of bile
but remains congested, causing that lazy
tired feeling which many have in theSprins
months, when the weather becomes warm
This is evidence of an unhealthy con
didon, and though people appreciate tn.
necessity Of an alternative at this period, thu
common idea is to take drastic pills ant
produce a cathartic effect, only to make
matters worse. The liver must be I'M
loaded, and its proper action restored be
fore hot weather, if you wish to preserve
health, and if this distinct call of nature is
UNDECIDED serious results will occur.
The blood will become loaded with bile
and ithic acid, and as every drop of vita
fluid passes through the kidneys to be puri
fed, they soon break down and are unable
to carry out the deadly poison. Warmers
Safe Cure and Warmers Safe Pills have
not only specific action on the kidneys
but on the liver also.
They thin the thickened bile so that it will
pass out through it's ducts, enable thu
glands to unload themselves, act as a solv
emit on all hillary acids and in a word, fl
these great organs for the seasons work
preventing blood poisoning, Inflammation
abscess, and all affections to which they ar,
so liable.
As you value the blessings of health, d,
not allow the summer to approach withou

EXILE WITHOUT TRIAL IN SIBERIA.

THE fOrcible removal of 'untrust-
worthy Russian citizens to Siberia
by executive order and without trial
first became common in the later
years of the reign of Alexander H.
Administrative Punishment had Oc-
casiOnallv been resOrted to before
that time as q convenient means of
getting rid of obnoxious persons; but
In 1873 and 1879, when the struggle
between the police and the terrOrists
grew hot and fierce, exile by admin
istrative process became common
thing, and people who were known
to hold liberal opinions, or who were
thought to be in sympathy with the
revolutionary movement, were sent
to Siberia by the score. If forbidden
books, or copies of the Messenger of
the Will of the People, were found by
the police III a young mans room,
the fact was regarded as sufficient
warrant for his Punishment If an
enthusiastic university student, in

something to elevate the lower class

ria by administrative process If a
dozen or more young people were sur
prlscd together at night under sus-
pIc1OuS circumstances, their names
were recorded in the Enthusiastically
list of the police, and the next time
the Government found it necessary to
take more vigorous measures for
the preservation of public order,
these unfortunate young men and
women, who perhaps had assembled
merely to read and discuss the works
of Herbert Spencer or of John Stuart
Mill, were arrested and sent to Siberia
as conspiratOrs. Friends and rcla-
tives of convicted rcvolutiOnists were
banfshed by administrative process
as matter of course, and long before
the assassination of Alexander ii, six
or eight hundred young people, repre-
senting all classes and all social
grades, had been swept into the
prisons by the drag-nct of the police,
and sent thence to Siberia by admin
istrative process without even the
pretense ola trial. y George kennan
