WASHINGTON, MAY 9, 1890.
FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

Mr.. Rowell of Illinois, chairman of
the House Committee on Elections,
yesterday introduced a ponderous cleo
ton bill. II is based upon the lines of
the bill prepared by the Senate Com
mittee on Elections, recently introduced
by Senator Hoar, rather than upon those
of the Lodge bill.
1t has, in common with the two
other bills referred to, the Objectionable
feature of not being made universal
and compulsory in its action. 1t does
not operate at any election unless fifty
OF more voters in county or parish
petition the Federal judiciary to APP
point the necessary officers. 1t is this
feature which gives the measure the
appearance of being intended for sec
tional rather than general application.
We do not believe very strongly in
the necessity for Federal control of
Congressional and Presidential cleo.
tions. But, we submit, if such control
be deemed necessary it should be by a
law which would require no petitioning
10 put it in operation. 1t should be by
a law which would make the holding
and control of the elections the same
throughout the country. Under all
these bills the election might readily be
under Federal control in one State, OF
in one district of State, or in on,
county of district, while in othe
States, or districts, or counties of
State or district. it would be strictly
under State control
There appears little necessity 70
Federal control. There is none for
law which would make such a jumbl
of elections as any of these proposed
laws would do.

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimist, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would other
wise be a bright existence, is often shadow
ed by some ailment that overhangs it like a
pail, obscuring perpetually the radience that
else would light the path. Such an ailment
and very common one, is nervousness, or
in other words, weakness of the nervous
system, condition only irremediable where
inefficient or improper means are taken to
relieve it. The concurrent experience of
nervous people who have persistently used
Hostetters Stomach Bltters is, that it con-
quers entirely supersensitiveness of the
nerves, as well as diseases-so called-which
are invited and sustained by their chronic
weakness. AS the nerves gain stamina from
from the great tonic the trouble disappears.
Use the bitters for malaria, rheumatism,
bilOusness and kidney trouble.

He placed the little creature on the floor
and waited But Suzanne remained silent.

and the poor child saw that she too must
learn to dissemble, and in feeble voice she
began her little speech:

But 1t was too much for the child She
stopped, suddenly, and putting her hand to her

with an unspeakable fear, and with hoarse

her eyes set. Henriette seized her while Roger
sprinkled water in her face.

Nothing. We do not need the DOCTOR"
said Henriette In a husky voice, as she feared
that the doctor might divine the cause of the
attack. Laroque looked at both with sus-
picious regard Henrietta thought:
Unhappy mani if he does love us he must
suffer horribly!"
After a while Suzanne grew better, and
Roger had to go to his business. Every
morning he took the o o'clock train for
Paris, and he came to say goodby, saying:

of grave import, but finally went out without
