Gods rights" Well, it depends on how
one looks at the matter. In America
and France we are accustomed to think
that by the revolutions at the close of
last century God helped mankind to re-
cover their own rights from the hands
of few indecent old usurpers, and that

DR.. Hammond cautions physicians on
the careless use of Brown-Sequards
elixir or they may kill more than they
cure. In a very short time it turns
putrid, and then if used, would cause
death from blood poisoning. Within
half an hours time after the lamb has
been killed the fluid should be injected
into the patients veins. The water en-
ployed in the solution must be distilled
and the whole mixture must be free
from microbes. The mortar in which
the components are reduced, as well as
the hypodermic syringe, must be care
fully cleansed with carbolic acid and dis
titled water before using. The fact that
it is necessary to prepare the elixir fresh
every time will prevent any patent
medicine quack from utilizing this dis
covery # there is anything in it.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1899.

THE jute and cotton trusts are both
knocked out and the cotton planters
get fair deal in the recent decision of
The New York cotton exchange to fix
prices on net cotton regardless of
sacking. Col. Butler, commissioner
of agriculture for South Carolina,
says:
New York colt IN exchange has
agreed to grant all that we have asked
CD behalf of the cotton planters in re-
gard to the tare on cotton-namely,
that the exchange fix prices on net
cotton regardless Of the material used
for covering. This settlement of the
question is highly satisfactory to the
cotton planters, as it will prevent
any loss in the use of cotton bagging
as substitute for jute, and will oper-
ate as another nail in the coffin of the
jute trust"

HAD it not been for Mayor Gala
ghan's hasty and most timely inter-
position in yesterdays session of the
council, Bottoms motion to substi-.
tute the name of the Cross-town rail-
way for that of the Land and I'M
provement company in the matter of
the four feet eight inch gauge would
in all probability have passed and
then there would have been a nice
dish of soup for some one to cool.
His honor was too sharp and too
rapid to be caught mapping in that
way and the trap was sprung just in
time to prevent the Beanville states
man and others from getting caught.
THERE was a suggestive sudden
ness IN the manner in which the
council was adjourned without mo-
ton yesterday, by the fiat of his
honor. 1t is not often that motion
fixing the time of next session of
council is made to do duty for mo-
ton to adjourn and it requires a good
parliamentarian to put that kind of
movement through, but it was done
yesterday with q snap.

about the public square, telling old
jokes and shaking hands with the coun.
try people; but, in spite of my efforts to
be genial, l sometimes offended an over
sensitive acquaintance.
Zone day the town marshal came into
my office, and, in a brusque manner, de-
clared that he did not want nv paper
any longer.

For the moment the Morton side was
uppermost, and Miss Willard, reading a
personal message from Washington in
confirmation of the facts she had pre-
Vlously stated, said she had no desire
and did not intend to do the Vice-Presi-
dent injustice. '.He could not help do
Ing what he did without rebukinr his
party, which is in favor of high license
and against prohibition, said Miss Pugh,
inc treasurer, and on her motion the
subject was dismissed.
But the issue would not down. IT.
came up again in the committee on reso
lutlons, which obtained positive infor-
nation of the granting of the license
and the existence of the saloon, and a
strong resolution of condemnation was
reported. Mrs. Foster and her followers
sought to substitute modification of
the declaration without success, Il was
the straw which broke the camels
back and precipitated the bolt of the
non-partlsan women from the conyen-
ZION. They were prepared to 60 out on
the ground that the Woman's Christian
temperance Union pronounced in favor
OF third party, but did not do so until
the resolutions in their entirety, con-
tanning the one against the Vice-Presi-
dent, had been formally adopted. The
seceders at once took steps to organize
The non-partisan Woman's Christian
temperance Union women of the coun-
try. One effect Of the movement has
been to impel the chief organ of tie
republican party in Iowa to advocate
he abandonment of prohibition in that
state and the enactment of high
license law.-Chicago News Qnd.).

less Protection Organ.
This from the Inter Ocean is as COOL,
pharisaical as any thing in which it has
indulged:
inc democratic programme of political
ao.ion iaiis In thls: 1t takes no note of the con
science OF the American people. 1t is an old
ana lneradicable tendency of the Democratic
Earty to ignore the public conscience. til q
larty mat always seeks to win by winking at
and allying itself with tho uncertain tendencies
of the age.'
Are you there, old Truepenny? Note,
then, this: That the Republican party
assumes that the American people have
no conscience and that its campaigns for
power are made upon the theory that the
people may be debauched with their own
money. What are the specifications?
The Republican party gained power on
what ground? That it will subsidize
steamships: that it will pay out pen
slons unstintedly; that it will give
bountles for sugar-raising; that it will
vote great river and harbor bills; that it
| Will prevenl i free market in fabrics OF
homo production for the benefit of the
home producers-in short, that it will
take the money of all the people and so
bestow it that while the plunderers will
be enriched, something, small piece of
the pork severally, vast chunk collect
lively, will close the mouths of veterans.
The Republican party assumes that
the majority of the Nation are adj
venturers, schemers, jobbers, mendi-
cants-shiftless fellows who want Gov
eminent support or greedy and crafty
spectators that would make the Govern
ment increase their present large fort
unes.
The whole campaign of the Republic
an party last year was an attempt to de-
bauch the people. Where the bait of
the platform was not successful Quay's
committee was at work with concrete
corruption funds. Dudley would have
electors bought in blocks of five out of
money furnished by the pious Wana-
maker. The platform made no secret
OF its purpose to bid with the funds in
the National exchecker. 'sHere we are"
they cried, "here we are. the only party
in the land that will make the public |
money fly for private benefit. Here we
are, Messrs. Veterans of the War, with
out regard to length of service, circum-
stances of enlistment or character of

Permeabillty Of csment..

Experience has shown that brick tun.
nels and drains can not be made water
tight when exposed to considerable
pressure, as water is forced through not
only the bricks, but the cements and
mortars. In experiments last year BY
Mr.. j. B. Francis, about fourteen gallons
OF water per square foot of surface
passed through thickness Of nearly
sixteen inches Of cement in twenty-four
hours, undera pressure Of seventy-seven
pounds per square inch. Other engineers
have concluded that it is not practicable
to build tight bulkhead Of cement-laid
bricks when the pressure exceeds sixty
four pounds per square inch.--Arkansaw

consciences so weak that itcan be stifled
by an act OF Congress with Job in it.
The popular vote was against them. but
they won, and expect with Congress
and an Executive wholly in their inter
est that tho brides will be paid. The
ola vet of thirty days service, the sub
sldy-hunter, the wool-grower, the
manufacturer, the fellows with irripa-
tlon schemes, the pig-iron lords, the
mill barons, all and singular, the people
who want the Government to aid them to
riches, are gathering at the capital to
demand for themselves and their kind
the 1ulfillment of campaign promises.
1T is entirely fitting that the organ of
such party should, when arrived at the
temple for prayer, assert that the great
democratic party, mere publicans and
sinners, are without conscience, while
they, the pharisees, are familiars of the
Lord-excellent fellows in whom there
is no guile.
1t is an old trick, and sometimes if

propitious for it's use.-Chicago Times.

an Unknown ScOundrel Attempts to Blov
Up Paradise Hall,

Up Paradise Hall.
Inc unhung scoundrel who ATTEMPTED
the destruction of Paradise Hall durin.
the last three days of last week viii
near OF something greatly to his ad
vantage by addressing the keeper O
the museum.
This is the thirty-fourth attempt mad,
IN the last ten years to destroy that i'm
posing edifice, and from the fact thai
each and every one has been failure II
would seem that some colored guardian
angel made it her special business tc
watch over the hall and it's wealth Of
memories and relics. The unknown
villain who made this last attempt
oofed out panel of the alley-door and
proceeded to crawl through into the
nall, from which stairway leads to the
station of the outer guard. He found
one OF the Bear-Traps yawning to re-
celve him. 1t was the trap known as
Ihe Colossus of Roads, having spread
OF four and half feet, with spring
power estimated at four-horse power.
ne must have scented danger just in
1,me' as his dead body was not found in
tne trap. Both his boot-heels, his hat
ana piece of his right ear were left BE-
nina, however, to show how close the
cali must have been. The janitor even
discovered three eye-winkers on one of
the Jaws, and that the villain escaped
justice is one of those mysteries over
which the detectives love to sit and
marvel.
IN going back through the hole he
was in such hurry that he stripped the
buckles off his suspenders, and most OF
the buttons off his clothes, and that he
was white man, and red-haired at that,
Is proved by the hairs left on the Jagged
edges.
