a great many things will arise in the
coming legislature which will be cham
pioned and opposed alike by Hennepin
and Ramsey representatives, and that a
better man for Hennepin county could
not be had easily. Fletcher is not at all
anxious to go to the legislature, but his
political friends say it is the best thing
he can do, as it will give him an oppor-
tunity of renewing acquaintance and
pave the way TO congress. He will sup
port Snider with a Will this fall, and
will make a great effort to reinstate
himself in the good will of his constit-
uents.
II is not known whom the Hennepin
county Republicans favor for governor.
Some of them say that when they go to
st. Paul they will look the field over
and ascertain as nearly as possible who
is the choice of the county, and when
that is ascertained they will throw their
forces in that direction as against Mer-
riam. 1t was thought that it would be
good idea to take up some such man
as G. A. Pillsbury. but as Mr.. Pillsbury
is out OF politics, having too much to do
in making flour, they thought it better
not to urge any man of their city for the
PtdSC3 pIlNl CIIIu ~. L tttl iiiSh NOolA AAOo
attribute selfshness to them. Mime
apolis Republicans say it will be good
thing for the Democratic party
if Merriam is nominated, as it
will result in changing Hennepin
Republicans to Democrats so far as the
head of the ticket is concerned, pro-
vided the latter would select some man
like Judge Lochren or Capt. o. c. Mer-
riam. They say II. G. Sidle, president
of the First National bank, would also
suit them in case of Merriam's nOmina-
ton. 1t is anything to beat Merriam in
Minneapolis now; and even Senator
Clough, who espoused the governors
cause last week, is very feeble in his
defense now.
Ed Davenport thinks that his chances
of election to the state senate are equally
as good now as they were before the
census troubles began. He is confident
that when Supt. Porter sends back the
correct returns the people of Mlnneap-
oils, who were so loud in their denun-
Citations of him and his methods of doing
business, will fall down and call him
hustler. He will have another months
work yet, when he will be ready for
the campaign.

PROTECT THE SYSTEM FROM MA
LARIA

1t is possible to do this even in regions Of
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's StOm-
ach Bitters is very largely attributable to
the fact of its efficiency as a remedy for
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and as
a preventive of the various forms ofmalar-
ia1 disease. In those portions of the west
and south where complaints of this nature
prevail, and in the Tropics, it is particu-
iarly esteemed for the protective influence
which it eXerts; and it has been very widely
adopted as a substitute for the dangerous
and comparatively ineffective alkaloid,
sulphate of quinine. Physicians have not
been among the last to concede its merits,
and the emphatic professional inporse-
ments which it has received have added to
the reputation it has obtained at home and
abroad

This proposition, of course, is disputed,
and probably will not be settled without
extended controversy, provided always that
Kemmler comes out of the fight victorious.
Meanwhile, however the attempt to abolish
the death penalty is at least interesting
and worthy of note.
Observation-Disclosures is generally accepted
at present as the correct term for execution
| by electricity-has had a rather checkered
career, and has = 1t not become much more
| than 1t was fifteen years ago-an idea. 1t
was in 1875 that DR.. A. p. Southwick, of
Buffalo, conceived the plan of substituting &
/ the wire for the gallows. He regarded the
| legal taking of human life as necessary
/ evil, sOmber adjunct to the demands Of
| Nineteenth century civilization. But, he
reasoned, If a man has forfeited existence
| because of crime, there is no excuse for
sending him TO eternity by a barbarous
and cruel method. He decided that a
| properly directed electric current would
| produce instant and painless dissolution,
and satisfy the laws demands without
subjecting the criminal to any undue
mental or physical agony. Once pos
sessed of this LIEF he began an agita-
tion that induced Governor Hill in 1885,
soon after his inauguration, to send the
following message to the assembly:
THE present mode of executing crimi-
nails by hanging has come down to US from
the dark ages, and it may well be ques-
toned whether the science of the present
day cannot provide means for taking the
lives of such as are condemned to die in a
less barbaroUs manner. | commend the
suggestion TO the members of the legisla-
ture."
AS a result commission on execution
was appointed, composed of Alfred P.
Southwick, of Buffalo; Elbridge T. Gerry,
Of New York, and Matthew Hall, of Al
bany. These gentlemen went exhaustively
into the history of capital punishment.
They sought information alike from books
and men. They talked With scientists, ex-
perts and even hangman. On Jan. II,
1888, they submitted their report. They
stated that they found five forms of execu-
tion in vogue. The gUillotine was used by
ten governments, the sword by nineteen,
the gallows by three, the musAet by two
and the ak by one. They sas 10 merits IN
any of these instruments OF death, and
unanimously recommended the adoption
of the electric current. With this report as
basis for action the legislature framed
and passed the bill now on the statute
books. It received the signature of the
governor June 4, 1888, aHl went into effect
Jan. !, 1890. II was, as appears from the
above statement, a measure that received

tions of Dr. Southwick and Governor Kill
