that they may no longer disgrace our

solutions and bills TO which there is no
present parallel, but which remind one

and his kind, but % long - they act on
the obsolete idea that people can be made
good and virtuous BY the enactment Of

troubled with Indigestion:
For years the Editor of the Post has

several hours and untitled him for bust

About a year ago we called on ;. j.
Butcher, our druggist, for something
To ward off an attack, that was already
making life hideous. Mr.. Butcher
handed us II bottle Of Chamberlan's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Remedy.
We took the medicine according To
directions. and not only found relief on
that occasion, but have several times
since tried its virtues and found relief
in every instance. We take this method

THE negroes Of Liberty county,
Georgia, are in state of excitement
over the preachings of "A man named
Bell, pseudo-"Chlist," whe has been
melting the ignorant people of the
county and telling them that he will
lead them into the Promised Land Of
Canaan next month. Hundreds have
left their farms and occupations 10
follow the false Christ. Bell was tried
for lunacy, and sent To an asylum last
week His successor, negro named
James, began preaching and telling the
people that human sacrifice was de-
handed Several days ago, in IA remote
part IF the county, IA woman, who was
one IF James followers, slew "A little
child, her niece, cutting symbols on the
head and body and then throwing the
body i'm a ditch. The woman was
arrested and is in Jail. The white people
fear the violence of the excited negroes,
who are crazed with Bells and James
teachings.

lT may be of some interest To the
members of the salt trust, particularly
those in Michigan, to know that the
courts of New York and Ohio have held
that agreements similar To those entered
by some of the salt manufacturers of
this state are clearly illegal, inasmuch
as they contemplate the establishment
of a monopoly. In both instances the
manufacturers entered into an agree
ment To limit their production and sell
it exclusively to one central concern
This is percisely what some of the
Michigan salt produces have agreed to.

+. L. BRowN, n well known and highly
respected gentleman of Wichita, Kan
sas, disappeared last January. His hat,
covered with blood, and blood stained
coupling pin were found near his house,
and led to the suspicion that he had
been murdered as it was known that
he had ON his person large sum of
money and other valuables On Tues
day of last week he returned home, in
sane, and having all the appearance of
tramp. He asked for food, which
was handed him by his wife, who told
him he must then leave. He did so, but
later returned and she recognized i'm
the tramp her husband. A large scar
on his head leads To- the belief that his
murder was attempted but failed, and
since then il is supposed that he has
been kept a close prisoner by his would
be murderers until this time, when he
escaped and mechanically found his
way home He is i'm very critical
condition. Intense excitement prevails
over the affair IL is hoped he may
sufficiently recover Ia give some ac-
count of himself and thereby aid in fer
reting out this dastardly outrage.

The final triumph of civil service re-
form was predicted last week by Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt, the recently APP
pointed commissioner He said that
wherever the commission had gone, it
hand found public opinion STRONGLY in
favor of the new law, and only the
machine politicians, whose power it
curtails, active against it. Mr.. Roosevelt
declared that the president was most
cordially supporting the commissioners
in their labors. mo greater proof of
the fidelity of President Harrison could
be given" said Mr.. Roosevelt, than his
support of the commission in their ac-
ton at indianapolis, his own home,
where we compelled the postmaster to
dismiss three clerks who had been ille-
gally appointed. That left no option
10 the postmaster but To appoint three
others who were on the eligible list"

PUBLIC interest i'm the construction Of
the Nicaragua canal increases as the
work gets practically under way, Last
week the company issued detailed
statement of its plans and the extent of
the work To he accomplished. From
this it appears that the canal will be
10 miles long from ocean To ocean.
There will be III miles of excavation ON
the east side, III on the west, mile for
six locks, making total. excavation of
% miles. Free navigation will be had,
i'm the San Juan river, in Lake Nicaragua
and in the several basins already exist
ing or Ia be constructed, of l2l miles.
With the exception of the rock cuts in
the eastern an western divides, the
canal will Ice at all points wide enough
for two ships to travel in opposite di-
rections. Through the basins and in
the lake and river, vessels can pass
each other and navigate with entire
freedom. The traffic Of the canal will
be limited only by the time required to
pass lock Two ships may pass
through the lock at one time, but if
only one passes through ut one time 81
can he passed in II day. The time from
ocean to ocean for steamers is estimated
at % hours, which includes one hour
and twenty minutes for possible deten-
tons in locks and narrow cuts.

CAPT. GAVETT, who occupies the dual
position of chairman of the transpOrta-

Il. and assistant gen'l passenger agent
of the G. ~ w. NJ. R'y, is gaining for
himself an unenviable notoliety by
virtually countermanding the implied
orders of Department Commander
Brown to the g. A. X. of the state To
stay away from the Milwaukee cncamp-
ment. Capt. Gavett sent "A cOmmunica
tion to the Detroit Posts, as chairman
of the transportation committee, urging
then To attend the encampment. The
Detroit Tribune says of this communi-
cation: There was considerable sur
prise shown by the members ut its read
ing, coming upon the heels of the de-
partment commanders circular request
ing the comrades To stay away from
the encampment this year, and the
general opinion seemed to prevail that
committee, had the circular letter
issued, had plainly exceeded his author
ity in formulating and sending it out
otherwise than through the regular
channel of department headquarters,
which would stamp it as official, and
cause il To he received with the recog-
milton such papers always receive, COM
ing in that way. In plain terms, the
captain seems To be little too prey
ious," and 10 lose his G.. A. r. identity

COLL ZOE OETRAGEN.

President Bartlett OF Dartmouth College, is
severe in his structures upon the
code Of honor among students Taking as a
text the recent deSrrat of the statue Of
Professor Silliman at Yale, he breaches Wig
orous sermon in "Thc Indcpcndcnt' against
college conspi,,cics against law and order. li"
is not satisfied with the resolutions OF the Yale
students condNmning this outrage ~ an act OF
the most dcepcable vandalism" lie considers
that they ought to have pledged their best en-
dcavors to have the guilty men arrested and
punished This he AYERS, is what college stu
dents invariably refuse to do. They know who
are the offenders in every outrage. but comhln"
to screen their fellows from the legitimate con
sequences Of folics. vices and misdcmcanors.
They are influenced, in his judgment, by q
false code Of honor, and cOnspire with tho
wrongdoers to battle the college faculties and to
defeat the ends of public decorum and order.
This sweeping indictment against students
is not justified either by the case in point or by
tho general tendencies of college opinion and
morality The drunken jewellers who dis
eraccd. themselves and their college by their
senseless Dissertation Of the statue were un-
known to the great body Of students who
passed the resolutions 1t was not the business
of those students to become private detectives
and TO engage in a still hunt for the offenders.
They performed their duty when they do
pounced the vandalism in good, vigorous Eng
ish. 1t was the privilege Of the college au-
tbohties to employ detectives for secret service
in the dormtories and this is the proper
course to be taken in such cases. With few
executions the off enders in college brawls and
outrages are not known to the mass Of the
students. SUSPICION may be directed against

This has been womans week in English poll
tics. Our cable letter records the rival gather.
ings Of the Primrose League and the Lioera
Federation, and the evidence afforded OF tho
growing influence of the sex in political cam
paignng. Over 90, 600 women are eniisted I'D
the active work of these two organizations, ana
the movement is steadily growing in popularity
without any signs of the development OF woman
suffrage propaganda. Either Lord Randolph
Churchill or his American wife is entitled to the
credit of originating this novel electioneenng
mechanism Lord Salisbury made very ap-
preciatiye speech at the meeting OF the Primrose
League, but neglected to refer to the founders
of the organization. That will be regarded as
petty exhibition of pique by the enthusiastic
women who are banded together for promoting
the welfare Of new-fashOned TOryism. The
Liberal danes take politics more seriously than
their rivals and are in danger of making the
blue stocking foil for the primrose
