REGARDING the complexion of the next
House Washington correspondent says
that up to date all but about 10 of the
certificates of members elect of the next
House have been received by Gen.
Clark, the clerk of the House. Among
those lacking are the certificates of two
from West Virginia and
one from Tennessee. In regard to the
case of the West Virginia members elect
Gen. Clark said that in his view the
Governor of the State might have issued
the certificates any day after the cleo
ton, and now that the senatorial contest
was over he believes that the certificates
for representatives would soon be made
out. Regarding the Tennessee case, In
which the state supreme court has de-
cided that 1T cannot restrain the Govern
or from issuing certificate to Evans,
Republican, Gen. Clark said it would
not be proper for him to express an
opinion as to the effect of the decision,
as the case might come before him for
decision between two sets ofcertificates,
Assuming that Evans will receive suf1
ficient certificate, the clerk figures that
the Republicans will have 164 and the
Democrats 159 members at the organiza.
ton of the next House, not counting the
West Virginia members. Should these
two seats go to the Democrats, it will
leave the Republicans with majority
of three, but with the admission of the
Dakotas, Washington and Montana viii
increase this majority.

AT awful silence of limo

THAT awful silence of ''innocuous
desuetude" which has enshrouded our
good friend Orville Brown for the past
three weeks, was broken Tuesday
through half column screed in the Rel
miesO, and it is generally believed that
the veteran punster feels great relief
therefrom. With tear stained eyes and
confidence in God and humanity" he
lifts his venerable physiognomy in a
reverential attitude and thanks his Re-
deemer that "retributive justice" has
been visited upon the head of the editor
of the FREE Press "whose sanguine ex-
pectation Ion the Senatorship question:
have been 30 ruthlessly blasted" Bless
your dear soul, Mr.. Brown, the FREE
Press feels quite well. 1t has no regrets
over the result. 1t Is prepared to be
routed in all political contests, and while
| it strives for success it gracefully yields
to defeat. AS to the personal insults
Mr.. Brown sees fit to shower upon the
editor, knowing them to emanate from
one whose nature is embittered with
"gall and NORWOOD" we stoop not TO
recognize. The cold man" is welcome
| to all the glory gathered from this kind
of literature. As to the selection of Mr..
Window for Secretary of the Treasury,
the FREE PRESS is quite as well pleased
as anyone in this community, and the
charges of treachery toward that gentle
man which have been 30 often made
against us are we'll known to be as false
as hell, and no one knows this better
than Mr.. Window and his immediate
friends.

SENATOR POPE introduced two railway
bills Thursday. The first extends the
powers of the railroad commission by
requiring all railroads in the state to
provide for some means of heating cars
other than by stove, the same to be ap-
proved by the commission. The penal
ty for violation of the law is $500, and
the law goes into effect on Oct. lst next.
Senator Pope's other bill requires the
directors of a railroad company to pre-
pare a map of any proposed route they
may have in view. They must submit
the map to the town board of each town
they run through for the boards APP
proval. The directors may petition the
railroad and warehouse commissioners
to Fl the route in case an agreement
cannot be reached between the town
board and directors. Both of the pro-
positions appear to be IN the direction
of wisdom, and should be speedily made
laws.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.


Col. Bend, of the first regiment, has
received a letter from Gen. Cruger, of
New York, who is chairman of the COM
mittee on outside military representa-
ton at the George Washington centen-
nial in April, in which he says that In
case the Minnesota regiments attend
quarters and subsistence will be provi-
ded them for period of two DAYS. The
matter of rates of transportation is now
under consideration by Eastern railway
officials.
Senate File No. 2, which provided for
the formation of a second battery in
Minneapolis and for the organization of
the two batteries and the troop of caval-
ny into a mounted battalion under the
command of major, has been pressed
by both houses and signed by the gov
ernor. 1t is generally understood that
Gen. Hawley will be chosen as major of
the battalion.

NOTWITHSTANDING the withdrawal Of
General Palmer and his prediction that
the Il. A. r. was nearing its collapse, the
Illinois department of that organization
has just completed an annual encamp-
ment which is described as the Largest,
happiest and most successful gathering
the boys have ever had" The Chicago
Tribune says.
If all the Democrats in the organiza-
ton followed Palmer out, as he claimed
would be the case, 1t is a demonstration
that there were few ifany Democrats i'm
it. But this was not the case. They did
not follow him. They remained with
their old army associates and they are
going to stay. The sense of good fellow
ship, the memories of the camp and
field, and their reverence fer the cause
for which they fought are good deal
stronger than the influence or the malice
of John M. Palmer. The boys were all
there as usual, and there was no thought
of politics or friction of any kind.

A BILL providing for reform of the
civil service of this state was introduced
in the legislative Thursday. 1t is for a
law establishing civil service commits
sion of the state and the cities. The act
is practically that of the State of Massa-
chusetts, adopted in 1887. 1t provides
for three commissioners, to be appoint
ed by the governor, for terms of one,
two and three years, and thereafter for
three years each, who are to make rules
governing the appointment of every
state and city official who is appointed.
These rules are to be approved by the
governor, and are to be strictly applied.
The subscriptions of campaign funds by
these appointees is forbidden, and num-
erous other things are provided, which
would materially increase the purity oil
the city government, if by any chance
the act should become a law. 1t was
ordered printed and referred to the
judiciary committee.

THE American Meat Company, cor
poration organized under the laws of
New Mexico and said to represent cap
ital of $25, 600, 900, proposes to contest the
field against the dressed beef packers of
Chicago and endeavor to dispense with
middlemen in the sale of meat. The
plan is to control everv stage of the beef
business from the Western ranch to the
consumers tables in the East. To the
extent that this enterprise can be made
successful it will tend to give consumers
cheaper beef and stock-growers better
prices for cattle. The Chicago Tribune
says that only by meeting such condi-
tons can it get foothold in either the
buying or selling markets. Itenters the
field under precisely the same condi-
tions and circumstances in these respects
as the Chicago dressed beef packers did
when they began competition with the
local butchers. The "Big Four" could
buy cattle in the West only by bidding
above the local butchers, and they could
command the meat markets In the East
only by offering cheaper beef. If the
new enterprise can 60 still further in
systematizing the business and lesseninl
waste it will lead to similar results bene'
fetal alike to stock-growers and bee
consumers. and these advantages viii
continue 80 long as the big packers en-
gage in competition and do not enter {
combine or trust according to the fash
| ion of the day.

Deafness Can't be Cured

There is only one way to cure Deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

unless the inflammation can be taken out

MURDER will out, aud SO will the sins
of the Democratic party be shown up.
1t is being developed beyond a doubt
that the charges made at the time were
true and that in the election in 1884
enough Butler votes were counted for
Cleveland in New York State to have
given the electoral vote to Blame. But
the country has had one source of prsft
from the injustice-that of the expert
ence of a Democratic administration,
and it will serve the purpose of keeping
the Republicans safely in power for
years to come. MIR. Blame also will

"monkey" with the affairs which are

The transition from long, lingering

marks an epoch in the life of the indi-

treasured in the memory and the agen-

attained is gratefully blessed. Hence il
is that so much is heard IN praise Of

owe their restoration to health, to the
