DR. HAMMOND may be quack and be dis
liked by physicians, but he has been sur
geon- general of the United States army,
and is one of the best-known physicians and
surgeons in America. DR.. BRowN-SE-
GUARD is one of the most eminent physi-
clans the world has ever produced, regard
less of what other doctors may say concern
ing him. DR.. Brown SEQUARD has discov-
cred an elixir which he claims will renew
youth, giving man thirty or forty more
years of life than he has been accustomed
to, and making that life fresh and Wig
so that it can be enjoyed. In DR.. HAM
MoND he finds ready disciple, and one
who claims to have successfully employed
the elixir. OJher doctors are also saying
there may be something in it." The chief
popular interest in the alleged discovery
lies in the fact that it further demonstrates
how little the physicians know about the
human lite and the human system, with
the laws which govern them. When such
men as BRowN-SEQUARD and HAMMOND
turn out to be quacks, and scores of other
learned doctors experiment with the elixir
in the hope of finding in it the virtue
claimed, it is time for the rest of us to
strengthen our doubts as to medical
knowledge in general.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 5.-The committee on
amendments today presented a report that
the amendments to the constitution shall
be adopted when passed by thirds
vote of the legislature and ratified by a
majority vote of the people.
An article on prohibition was passed,
which is to be submitted to vote of the
people as a separate proposition. 1t pro-
hibits the manufacture or sale of liquor
except for medicinal scientific or sacra-
mental purposes. The vote on it was 81
to II.
The report of the committee on revenue
limits state taxation to three mills on the
dollar, the amount of any mortgage on
property to be taken from the assessed
valuation.
The report of the legislative committee
provides that the lower house is to have
not less than Sixty-three nor more than
ninety. nine members, and the senate to
have from one third to half that number.
The first legislature will have thirty five
senators and seventy members.
Aliens are forbidden to hold any prop
erty but mines, and corporations, a majority
of whose stock is held by aliens, come under
the same prescription.
Convict labor, except on public works, is
forbidden after January.
In the afternoon an article establishing a
railroad commission was defeated, although
powers given the Legislature to create one
if desired. A section was adopted forbid
ding any railway company giving greater
privilege to any telegraph company than
another or refusing to grant the right Of
way for the construction for telegraph
lines along the road, and also obliging tele
graph companies to receive business offered
by another company the same as other pub
lie carriers. Monopolies or trusts are
strongly forbidden. .,i"r

Ohio Cod Field. .

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A special from Gin
cinnati says: For several years gold has
been found in small quantities in Clermont
county, not more than twenty miles from
this city. Inexperienced men have worked
over the ground at intervals, and about 4
week ago old time experienced miners who
had received specimens of the ore from the
farm of join Wood in Clermont county,
looked over the ground thoroughly and then
went to work. They say that discovery
like they have made anywhere in the re
gions of the west would attract 1000 min
ers within fortnight hours. Until the ar
rival of these miners no attempts We're
ever made to tunnel into the hill where the
gold is found. So confident are the miners
that they have struck it rich that they have
perfected plans to sink shaft and at once
begin tunnelling to the spet whence the
surface gold comes

THERE Is no better law in the statute
books than the one commanding the closing
of liquor saloons on election day. The eX-
cellence of the law in operation was
thoroughly demonstrated yesterday. The
election was perhaps, the most earnes::
and exciting ever held here, and yet there
could have been no more quiet affair. On
the streets it was almost like Sunday, and
at the polls the best of order prevailed
the long lines of voters patiently awaiting,
their turn to the ballot-boxes, all being
good natured and cheerful Even the
challenges were, as rule, respectfully and
pleasantly presented. The absence of
whisky may be credited with the COM
mendable quiet and good order which
everywhere prevailed. Had the saloons
been open and liquor been as free as under
other circumstances. there certainly would
have been trouble. There was plenty of
bad blood about, and that it was not stirred
up and made actively vicious is because
there was no whisky mixed with it.

LEARNING THE LESSON.

The tailor's union of Boston has just
made report upon the condition of their
fellow laborers in New York An extract
from the report reads:
The pauper labor OF Europe, of which they
heard so much in the last campaign, cannot be
IN q worse condition than the pauper labor OF
America The protection papers boosted that
clothing could be purchased cheaper in New
York than IL could be in London. So it can
when European labor works in this city for 50 or
g a week, and works sixteen and eighteen hours
day.
The ''pauper labor of Europe" cry was
dinned into the cars of everybody last wear.
and too many workingmen believed it.
They would not open their minds to the
truth, that the protected manufacturers of
this country had always pitted the ''pauper
labor" of the old world against American
workingmen, using the former to cut down
the wages of the latter. Too many Ameri-
cans permitted themselves to be scared into
the belief that reduction of the tariff
would take manufacturing abroad
where labo was cheap and close up Ameri
can mines, mills and factories, thus throw
'Ig American workngnlen out of employ
ment. These poor men allowed themselves
to be blinded and dupel. They would not
understand that it was to the interest of tn
manufacturers and mine owners to bring
The pauper laborers of Europe to this
sountry, and work them against home
laborers who demanded wages which
would enable them to live decently.
Thousands of American laborers voted the
high tariff ticket through an ignorant fear
that Democratic success would be bad for
the workingman. These unthinking toilers
surned the election, and unhappily for
them they turned it to their own injury as
the New York tailors are now being made
aware.
BY the time Of the next national election
the American worllingmen will have had
their fill of the '.paupar laborn cry. They
will have learned that the best way to keep
Rp wages is not to subsidize manufacturers
but to give American workers chance to
compete with theirpioducts in the markets
of the world: not 10 shut ourselves in and
