CONGRESS since the present session

been employed by committees in the
necessary preliminaries for active work
Speaker Reed has given much satisfac-
ton in the appointment of committees,
which is difficult work, when there
are generally conflicting interests to be
conciliated Speaker Reed is now serv-
ing on his sixth term: this gives him
needed experience for the duties of his
Office. Hon. L. B. Caswell. of this

time, and his standing in Congress,
gives him position of influence. All

nal.

NOTICES in the newspapers, OF people
who die at ages running into the
eighties and nineties, are no novelty;
they have from year to year attracted
about the same interest. 1t is general
" believed that cases of great longevity
are more common now, than a half
century ago; if this be true, it is to be
credited to the fact, that the laws of
health are better understood than years
ago. It is not true as some foolishly
reason, that the average duration OF the
age of man will hereafter be greatly
increased by some new discovered ele-
ment for the prolongation of life; ma
ture has fixed limits to the lasting OF
the machinery of the human body
which the skill of science may assist in
keeping in repair, but can add but lit
tie, The inevitable law that death is
the positive destiny of I'll mankind, no
human agency can change. Very
many people, when they reach the age
IF eighty years, become feeble minded,
or at least lose much of their mental
activity. Physical exercise is reqni-
site to health and longevity; Equally
so is the active exercise of the mental
faculties. Business men who retire
from their accustomed active 0ccupa-
tons. and allow their minds to relapse
into quiescent state, generally lose
their vigor Of intellect and grow dull
in conversation. There is condition
more easily attainable than is generally
supposed of keeping the mind unim-
paired to great age. Bryant, Thurlow
Weed, Seward, Longfellow, and many
others of later periods, preserved their
capabilities for Vigorous writing to the
end of lives over four score years

eightieth year, has recently he'd vast

The State Fund Interest CUES
4iN~7

That the present laws pertaining to
the duties of the state treasurer and
the manipulation by him of the funds
entrusted to him are very deficient, no
one will question Not that any action
of Treasurer Harshaw or any other
treasurer, has given rise to a serious
contemplating of a means of remedy,
but that as an intelligent people we
should so prescribe the duties and func-
tions of so responsible an office as shall
insure the greatest safety and preclude
the possibility of an error arising from
lack of judgment What is now agita-
ting the minds of the politicians is how
best to adjust the present inconsistent
cies as to make it impossible that any
interest which may accrue from the
deposit of state funds. shall revert to
Golfers other than those Of the state.
To Secretary of State Timme is due the
solution of this problem and his plan
which will be presented next week,
appears most feasible one. He sug-
gests providing for commission to con-
sist of the governor, secretary OF state
and state treasurer and attorney general
for the purpose of designating certain
banks as state repositories, fixing rate
of interest on deposits and exercising
general supervision over the funds so
deposited. Then disbursements could
be made by checks on the banks, such
checks to show names Of payees and
number of the warrant for which drawn.
The banks will be required to make
monthly statements OF the accounts
with the state and the treasurer shall
render monthly report to the governor
and members Of the commission. In
this way it is believed the whole diff
Guilty can be solved and the treasurer
relieved from a constant and very un-
comfortable suspicion of which the spre-
sent lax custom permits-Racine Jour

Unreasonable Political Issue

~ Ala OCOOAA00I@ a 0AA@A>S@A Ao06~'
Our Public Schools, which have for
so many years been kept aloof from
politics, there never having been the
slightest occasion for it, nor is there
now, for bringing the schools into poll
tics. So unreasonable movement as
an intermedling with the schools, comes
from dissatisfied religionists, known as
Lutherans. They have recently held
meeting in Milwaukee, said to have
been largely represented, at which it
was resolved to bring their alleged
grievances into the next election
Here it should be understood that the
Lutherans, are divided into two dis
tinct classes, which have no fellowship
with each other. Those known as
evangelical Lutherans are minority
in Wisconsin, but are the majority in
in some of the middle states, and are
in full sympathy with the leading Pro-
testant denominations. It is the Luth-
Grams in the ranks of the larger class of
that name in this State, which threaten
nolitical trouble. There has for years
been on our statute in this state, law
the same as in many other states requir-
ing all children of a given age to attend
school, given number of weeks each
year in which they shall be taught
English, although not to the exclusion
of other languages. 1t was discovered
that in some schools in the state, Eng
lish was entirely omitted and other
languages substituted. It was there
fore the last session Of our state legisla-
ture, enacted what is now known the
Bennett Law, having been framed by
member of that name; this law makes
nssimperative that certain amount of
English shall be taught in the public
SGllDOlSs Uub uOCS CACIuoU III
other languages. The reason for this
English requirement is obvious; our
government requires all legal business
to be transacted in English. The
great design Of the free schools is tt
fit for citizenship; the Bennett Law was
enacted requiring those who enjoyec
the privilege Of instruction free Of cost,
shall have enough English taught them
to exercise the duty Of American citi
zens. The Lutherans are not satisfied
with their own parochial schools to
teach what they please, but insist on
using the public schools to teach what
ever language they think fit. And
now because they cannot use the pub
lie schools for their purpose, they
threaten to make political issue of it
We would gladly refrain from speaking
of this action in Milwaukee, at this
time, but deem it proper every citizen
should be informed, what threaten
Ing our public schools.

CALIFORNIA has made the first real
warlike move against trusts. It began
suit against the American Sugar Rein
cry Company for joining tie Sugar
Trust and caused its charter to be for
forfeited. This is fair beginning. Let
the good work go on until trusts are

The Importance of purifying the blood can
not be overestimated, for without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and we ask you to try Hoods
BAn.,Isau Sarsaparilla. Itstrengthens
GG0ttdt and builds up the system,
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
Hoods Sarsaparilla pecul- r. a4enIf
lar curative powers. No ~ HIOOH
other medicine has such arecord of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hoods Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other instead. It is Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists.

Stanley had, however, requisitloned
her as she stood from the chief of the
Sanford expedition, for the entire
flotilla of steamers on Stanley Pool
were incapable of holding all the men
and loads of the relief expedition, and
he wished to use the she'll OF the
Florida as barge, to fill her with men
and loads, and tow her alongside the
State steamer Stanley.
For several days during the end OF
April all was hustle and excitement
round the shores of Stanley Pool, load
ing the various little stern-wheel steam
ers of the State, and the two missions
asd at our station, endeavoring to con-
struct hasty slip to effect the launch
of the Florida. All our efforts were in
vain; the beams cracked and bent be-
meath her weight, and the upright sup
ports beneath her sank deep in the
mud as we tried to induce the unwieldy
frame of steel to glide down the in
clined plane of creased logs into the
river.
On the following morning Stanley ap-
peared with about two hundred Zanzi-

boat then on the Pool, and bidding each
of us goodbye as he grasped our hands

Swinburne, Troup and I returned to
Kinchasa half an hour later, wondering
if we should ever see any of the men
again we had parted from that morning.
On reaching Kinchasa, what was our
