AGAINST WILSON'S BILL.

A Court la kansas Decides That 1t Can
Not Revive State Laws Declared Un.
constituttonal-Defeat 1T for the Prohibi-
tiOmists.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 1s.-Judge Fos-
ter. of the United States District Court
of Kansas, and Judge John +. Phillips.
of the District Court for the Western
district OF Missouri. filed their decision
Friday in the Rahres habeas-corpus
case, which is a test of the Wilson
original package bill. The judges did
not enter upon the question Of the con-
stitutionality Of the new law. but based
their decision entirely upon the
question as to whether the exist
ing prohibitory law Of the State
applies, or whether additional legis-
lation should be had to bring
into action in the State the provisions
of the Wilson bill. They held that in
asmuch as the Supreme Court of the
United States had decided the Kansas
prohibitory law null and void, SO far as
it referred to original packages. the law
was as If it had never been enacted. A
law in conflict with the constitution is
not only illegal and violable, but it is
absolute ly void, and mo subsequent
change of the constitution removing the
restriction could validate it or breathe
i:,to it the breath of life."

that the little school-hou should never

Wonderful Nerve,

ERIE, Pa. Oct. l9.-To-day through the
:oolness of an engineer horrible cat
astrophe was averted. The engineer OF
the passenger train, John Burns Of Buff
falo, was coming down the hill at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. He saw
truck ahead and then a freight car. He
saw no chance to stop his train but
could Jump and sacrifice the lives Of
his $50 passengers. His fireman had
left him and freight cars mounted one
another ahead. In second Engineer
Burns resolved to stand by his post,
and, springing from his seat behind the
boiler, he put on every pound OF steam,
and opening his sand box SO as to get a
firmer hold of the rail, the monster gave
a snort and sprang forward. threw the
truck and cut through the freight car
and other debris. Burns with wonder
full fortitude held the lever, and the
moment he had cleared the obstruction
reversed his engine and threw on the
air brake as the train entered the wreck.
The sides were torn out of three coach
es. No one was killed and but few
were injured

The number OF Democratic votes cast
at the election of 1883 fo- these nine ex-
PEELED congressman is l44,574. The
choice Of these la, 900 voters was reversed
by tho arbitrary action OF about eight
score partisans Of Republican fraud and
force, sitting in the Chamber Of Repre-
scntatives at Washington. One hum
dred and sixty-six men have deprived
nearly as many thousands of American
citizens Of their right to be represented
by the Congressman they elected.
II the reckless majority now strength
ened by this initial infamy should pro-

ity he was defeated, the outrage would
differ only in magnitude and not at ali
in character from that which has al
ready been committed.

have been renominated in their re-

should be renominated and re-electe

FOUR KINDS OF ALCOHOL SUFFERERS.

Many persons 60 on for years under the
simple action of the moderate effect of aIco-
hol: thew are never affected beyond the first
STAGE of its action, and always assume that
they feel the benefit of it. Others who have
cot so far are tempted to 80 little further
under some excitement, recreation, work,
worry, or one of the many incentives for
stimulation, and so work themselves into the
habit Of the second stage, which is less easy
TO rsstrain than the first. Others slip habit
ually into the habit of the third degree, be-
come regularly intemperate, and so fixed in
intemperance that they are all but lrreclalm-
able. From this last group spring those
lowest in the series Of the habitual alcoholics,
who suffer from general paralysis, and who
fitly and literally represent the individual IN
fine fourth degree of acute alcoholic intoxica-
cation. dead to the world under the extreme
paralyzing influence of the spirit they have
imbibed.
These four classes Of mankind form the
four great populations Of constltutlonaiy
alcoholized humanity that exists out ct tne
bonds and bounds of childhood. 1t is fortu-
nate that as yet the first years OF human lie
have been so far exempted from the alco.
holic spell, for by this circumstance full
sixth Of the term Of each life is largely saved
from the injury and danger Of alcohol. Yet
even this more fortunate section is not alto
gether free; for, unhappily, an agent which,
like alcohol, is capable Of inaicting so marked
an impression on the nervons centres is also
capable of inAicting impressions which pass
from parent to offspring and which imprint,
by inheritance, the constitutional habit. The
Inheritance Of disease thus acquired from al
cohol is not so strong as that Of some other
diseased conditions from other causes, and it
is not. according to my observation, trans
mitted further than the third generation;
but it must be admitted as q factor tending
to the production of alcoholic degeneracy and
to the increase of the great populations shar.
ing in one or other of the great constitutional
stages Of alcoholic existence, and in the in.
duced series of alterations from the natural
standard Of health, which furnish the large
class of affections, bodily and mental. now
designated as the alcoholic diseases OF man
kind.

Stanley in London.

Henry M. Stanley, the explorer of Africa,
arrived at the Victoria station in London.
There was an immense concourse of peopls
inside and outside the station and he was
given most enthusiastic greeting. The
Duke of Abercom, Baroness Burdett- Coutts
and large number Of other friends of the
explorer were awaiting to welcome him.
The Baroness presented Mr.. Stanley with
bouquet. He silently bowed his thanks and
then entered the carriage of the Baroness
and drove off with her.
The hour of Mr. Stanley's arrival at
Dover was 3:55 o'clock. Disgraceful con.
fusion prevailed on the pier when he landed,
owing to mismanagement by the local
authorities Fifty reporters were
present and they came near having a con-
f1ict with the police, owing to their
defiance Of certain orders which the re-
porters regarded as unwarranted. A
number of Mr.. Stanley's friends among
them being Mr. New, the American Consul.
General; General Sir Garnet Wolse.ey and
Rustem Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador,
and others of prominence wera unable to
get aboard the steamer which brought Mr..
Stanley. The authorities of Dover presented
an address to Mr. Stanley. He replied with
fer words of thanks.
At the command of the Prince of Wales,
Mr. Stanley, Dr.. Parke, Sir William Mac
kinnon and Sir Francis De Winton went to
Sandringham, where they were to remain
several days.

Three Horse Thieves Whipped.

The whipping of three horse thieves at the
county whipping post at Georgetown, Del,
attracted great crowd. The culpritS, J.
Owens IsaacS, John T Owens and Joseph
Hamilton are connected with the
leading families of Sussex County
The culprits themselves and their
friends expected to get orders from the Gov
ernor for the remission of the whipping part of
the sentence, and were sorely disappointed.
The crowd that gathered to witness the fog
sing was the largest seen at Georgetown on
similar occasion for many years. 1t was
composed of men, women, and children,
women carrying their babies and men driv-
ing for miles with their families to see the
show.
The whipping was in public square in
full view of the windows of the surrounding
houses. Each window was filled with spec
tators. The whipping was done by the
Sheriff of the county, who used small
switches two of which he wore out on the
back of each man, giving them twenty lashes
each.
The first man was put in the pillory about
10:30 o'clock in the morning. Each stool an
hour with his head in wooden yoke and his
hands raised above his head, and was after
ward whipped The exhibition ended at about
1:30 P. ", after which the prisoners were
committed to jail This penalty carries with
it perpetual disfranchisement, and this fact
was the source of greatest grief to the Gull
