Also to repeal the law which gives three
months earning as an exemption from

amount, say $50 to S25 as exempt, that

ct may not be discreet for rs to talk
much of politics." said Dr.. Arnold this
evening. Eat present our position if some
what delicate. Still it can do US no harm
to state what our ideas Of the needs Of the
south are. Down there the one predomin-
ating question is that of race. Until that is
removed we cannot hope for the prosperity
which we desire. The only possible way of
olspOs1ng or 1t Is by a division OF the white
vote. We think General Harrison has it in
his power to cause this division if he is given
to fully to understand the situation In which
we Of the south are placed. What we ask, is a
far representation in his principal appoint
ments. We have many able men, who are
popular and have the confidence of all par
ties, and whose appointment would greatly
strengthen the republican party in the south.
These are not all republicans. Democratic
leaders who have shown themselves worthy
Of recognition, are not wanting, and they
should not be sighted. 1t Will make them
and their followers ever friends, and at the
the good Of the country, and not bound mar
rOWly to party"
Colonel Buck was sent for by the presi-
dent-elect, and his long conference this
afternoon is regarded as very important.
He visited General Harrison alone. His
colleagues, Arnold and Locke, held their in
terV1eW an hour later, and after they had
been clOseted with Colonel Buck on his re-
turn. They all express great satisfaction at
their visit and intimate that their views on
southern political matters are accorded in
by the president-eleCt.

IN England
LONDON, January 23.-The proposal on
the part Of the United States to strengthen
their immigration laws by domestic enact
ments has stirred up good deal of feeling
on the subject here, involving criticism by
no means gentle or fair. Not only is the
matter watched with keen interest IN Eng
land, but the question is exciting a similar
degree of concern on the continent. Not,
perhaps, as a measure Of retaliation, but as
a means of purifying the moral atmosphere.
1t Is suggested that the colonies, Canada in
particular, have recourse to similar legisla-
ton, and thus close the gates against the
only classes who are likely TO leave the
United States and who do leave that cOun.

The Globe admits that the bill is a natur.

problems still more difficult of solution.

No change may be made in the apportionment
except at the tue prescribed by the COnstitu-
ton, once IN hVs years. The close Of the last
nve-ysars period fell in 1885 in the interval be
tween our biennial sessions, and compelled the
extra session Of 1885 with its attendant expense
The same conditions will occur again in 1886, and
again at certain intervals. Furthermore, with
the superintendent article it is, and the
Senate and House terms extended to four and
two ysars respectively. it follows that the united
terms OF the members chosen under every appor-
donment, in either branch. must fall short Of or
exceed the Ave-year period contemplated by the
constitutions and It occasionally happens that
one house of q particular session is chosen under
one superintendent. while the other house was
chosen under another superintendent Thus,
under the superintendent act OF 1876 Representa-
Cives were chosen in 1876, 1878, and 1850 whose
united terms covered six years. Under the ap-
portiOnment act of 1881. Representative were
chosen In 1882 and 1884. whose united terms Gov
cred but four years; and under the act OF 1885,
and viii be again in 1890. whose aggregate terms
viii cover six years. In 1876 senators were
chosen under the superintendent OF that year.
and again in 1880 their terms thus covering eight
years; while under the apport. onmsnt act OF 1881
the only election for Senators in 1884 for the
term ending In 1888. Toe present Senate was
chosen under the apportionment act Of 1856, and
the next election for Senators VIII be held under
the appoItiOnment to be made in 1891. So it is
apparent that the attempt TO secure speedy and
equal representation under existing constitu-
tlOna1 conditA5nss is not brilliant success.

Few people understand the Importance of
freshly ground and freshly made coffee. 70 have
that the bean should not be ground until the
coffee is about to be used. Every family should
have an air tight or jar in which to keep their
coffee either before or after grinding Do not ex
pose to the air any more than can be helped. The
perfect manner in which coffee is now roasted by
machinery, does away with all that trouble at
quantity and otten thereby securing the freshly
roasted bean We pursue the system ourselves
ot buying limited amount and having it ship
ped at stated intervals. We are enabled in this
way to supply fresh coffee all the time
We offer to-day new coffee under the name
of "Maltava," that is combination of pure old
government Java and Malt; delicious as a beve-
rage and at the same time nerve tonic, espec-
tally recommended to those who suffer from
wakefulness or nervous affections.

An Early Morning Blaze on
Walker Street.
Good Work and Plenty of Water Save
the House.

The fire alarm rang out yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock and brought 6
crowd of alarmed citizens to the Engine
House in short order. Here it was
learned that the fire was at the residence
OF MIR. Harry Merits, on Walker street
The Hook and Ladder company answer
ed the summons promptly and in two
minutes their truck was rattling on its
way to the scene OF the conhagration,
closely followed by the hose carriage
pulled by one of the new horses.
Some little delay was caused in getting
the engine out, from the superstition that
the horses would be used to pull the
engine, but it was soon learned that the
harness had not arrived, and number
OF the big-hearted, Jealous workers
''caught on" and pulled the engine, as of
yore.
The blaze was at the residence of Mr..
Harry Merits, on Walker street, and was
caused from spark from the chimney
lodging in the roof. The smoke was
seen issuing from the roof by neighbor,
and the alarm given.
The Hook and Ladder brigade ascende
ed the roof and with the assistance of
mum ber of citizens held the flames in
check until the arrival OF the engine,
when the fire was quickly extinguished,
the force OF the stream ripping off the
shingles and reaching the fire, which was
between the ceiling and the roof.
The damage from fire was the burning
Of the inside casing Of the roof over two
rooms; the damage from water was
greater. The entire house was flooded
and it will have to be replastered
throughout.
A stiff breeze was blowing at the time
and the forethought OF Mr.. Merits in not
allowing the house to be opened until
the arrival OF the fremen, probably kept
the flames from spreading more rapidly.
1t is source OF qualification to the
many friends Of Mr.. Merits to know that
the damage sustained is covered by in
surance.
