August, 1887, was noted month l,

results of which were disastrous to the
public health. Gases of collie, cholers
morbus and diarrhoea were abundant and
there were numerous calls at the drug
stores for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. Druggists of
this city tell us that this remedy has been
more frequently called for during the
past month than any other preparation,
and that 1t has proven panacea for the
very worst cases. Chamberlain's Collie,

city and vicinity. The sales are increas>

AS per call elsewhere in this paper, the
democratic congressional convention of
this district will meet at Monmouth on
Tuesday, August 9Th, at II q. m. The
basis of representation has been de-
creased one-hslf on former years, which
entities each county to twice the number
of delegates heretofore allowed. Rock
Island county will have eighteen dele
gates in the convention, which is only
exceeded in number by Hancock, which
has twenty. The total number Of dele
gates is eighty.seven, requiring forty
four to nominate. That it will be the
largest and most enthusiastic convention
ever held in the Eleventh district is al
ready assured. The democratic party in
the district was never in better form to
make an aggressive and winning fight
than it is this year, and there is every
reason to believe that the victories of
1882 and 1884 will be repeated this fall,

TuE nnmbsr of lunatics in ihe asylum,

THE number of lunatics in the. asylums
of the city of Berlin. which was 1853 in
1928. amounted to 2.52S in 1889.
This shows a very large increase in the
number of insane persons relatively to the
growth of the population; in the period
referred to the increase in the population
was 90 40 per cent. while the increase in
the number of lunstics was 1919 pei
cent. The number of inmates in confine-
ment in the whole German empire rose
between Jan. /, 1881, and the same date
in 1888. from "a, $40 to AZ. $3.50. being an
increase OF "a in the five years, as
against an increase of 8 6 per cent in the
general population In the same period.

THREE IMPORTANT MEASURES.

the House the silver Bill.

The senate Passes the Subsidy Bills and
the House the silver BILL
WASHINGTON CITY, July 1.-the SEN
ate Saturday continued the consideration
of the subsidy bills, Vest again speaking
against them. George also spoke in oppo-
sitioB, while Call favored the postal sub
sidy, but opposed the tonnage bill The
debate was finally closed and, with few
and unimportant amendments, the votes
were taken, first on the tonnage bill, re-
sulting: Ayes, %; nays, IS. The vote on
the postal subsidy was next In order, and
it was: Ayes, %; nays, 10. The feature of
the vote was that Plumb and Edmunds
both voted no on the tonnage bill, and Ed
munds voted no on the postal subsidy
Plumb not voting, while Payne, Demo
crat voted aye on both bills. The tariff
bill was made unfinished business, and
after a short secret session the senate ad-
journed.
The house proceeded to the considera-
ton of the conference report on the silver
bill. Bland made vigorous speech
against the report, declaring that IL was
no improvement ON the present law
rather the other way-and made silver
simply commodity. Speeches were made
against the bill by Williams of Illinois,
Peel of Arkansas, and others, and in its
favor by Cannon and Grosvenor. At the
conclusion of the debate the report was
agreed to by a strict party vote-122 to 90

Acan. "the tariff is an evil. 1t is an evil
in just the same way that any taxation is
an evil" Not in the same way. Or
binary taxation is imposed for aud by
the government, but the tariff is q tax i'm
posed by one class of citizens on another
class. It is not for public purposes but
for private gain. 1t is imposed not to
secure a man the possession of his prop
erty, but to deprive him of it. 1t is "a
purchase of protection" as the Denver
Republican says, but the purchase money
is paid by one class, while the protection
goes to another. The idea that a nation
grows rich by means of taxation is an
other form of the belief that waste makes
wealth. Every principle of justice, of
equity demands that all taxation be linn
tied to the actual requirements of an
economical government. A tax that
goes beyond this is only legalized rob
berry.

ST. LOUIS, July 4-Representative
Mills, of Texas, was in this city Friday,
on his way to Plattiburg, Mo-, to deliver
political speech. Referring to the pro-
posed federal election law, he made use OF
the following languages: II do not know
whether they will pass the bill or not, but
| do know that it will create terrible
state of affairs in the south If it is passed
We had military Law down our way once,

A Prediction of Bio odshed.

federal election officers had counted out

His Idea of OPP posing the Law.
"My idea of opposing it after it has be-
