5l PASSED BY TIE HOUSE. tslu
Many Republiean Senators opposed

Grounds. 2i@ e'l ai

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The Elec-
tions bill which passed the House un-
der whip and spuris is a matter of seri-
Gus consideration in the Senate and
several Of the recognized leaders of the
Republican side Of that body are ex-
tremeiy reluctant to vote upon the
measure. It Is no secret that at least
twenty-five per cent. Of the members
on the Republican side of the House
supported the bill with many misgiv-
ings and are not easy in their minds as
to the political effection Of the action.
They offered their objections in caucus,
but were voted down by a majority of
their party, and being party men, SUBJ
mitted to the result. ls r9. n
1t was political measure they say,
and right or wrong deserved the sup
pert Of the party. IF there had been q
secret ballot and no caucus indorse-
ment, the bill would have been beaten
by large majority. The same, senti-
ment exists in the Senate. There are
at least q dozen men on the Republican
side who openly express themselves as
opposed to the measure, and at the eau
Gus which will be held shortly will use
all their influence TO prevent its con-
sideration at this session Of Congress.
Strange to say, among these men are
recognized leaders Of the party, such as
Edmunds, Sherman, Cameron Quay,
Hiscock and Others. Edmunds has
very positively asserted himself on the
subject and declares that the bill shall
not become law until it has been Civ
en- the serious study it deserves. Cam
eron Is even more outspoken in his op-
position, and announces that he will
not support it under any circumstan-

How Diptheria is spread by Corpses.

How Diptheria is Spread, by Corpses.
DIR. Baker, the secretary of the Mich
igan State Board of Health, has issued
a circular stating that in March two
corpses, those of a woman and child
of the same family, dead OF throat dis
ease, certified by the attending physi-
clan not to be dangerous to the public
health" were conveyed from Mont
morency County, to Lapeer County,
Michigan, were in just q week
from the day the collins were
opened and the remains viewed per-
son who was thus exposed came down
with diphtheria. Many others, says
DIR. Baker, would probably have been
exposed except for the local health Of
ficer. DIR. G. A. Wisner, who, suspect
ing that the cause of the deaths was
diptheria, warned the neighbors and
forbade the opening of the coffins OF
the funeral. He promptly isolated the
first person that was attacked, and no
4 epidemic resulted. This, DIR. Baker
adds, is quite different from the result
of a similar occurrence at GAINESVILLE,
i O., last spring, where many deaths re.
suited from exposure to q corpse
brought from Chicago. 1t shows the
Importance of notice to the local health
officer Of the arrival of corpse, so thai

One of the secrets of life consists In
knowing what to do and in doing it at
the right time; an opportunity once
lost may never c0me again. This is
especially true of the care we give our
little ones. If they are suffering from
insufficient nutrition, we cannot ex-
pect them to be strong as they grow up.

Catchy Advertising.

tgvnUTT 81 /. y}i
Advertising in these days has
been reduced almost to a SCI
ence. Yet while people read
the daily papers, and glance in
a more or less cursory manner
at the advertisements, but few
have any idea of the thought
and trouble to get up a good
"catchy" advertisement, and
the man who can dc, so can al
ways command a good salary.
Take the patent-medicine men,
for instance, for they are the
ones who mostly use this style
of advertising. One house pays
its man a salary represented by
FIVE figures, though for this he
takes charge of the entire ad-
vertislng of the firm, rocks,
lithographing, papers, etc. His
general instructions are to this
effect: "Go ahead and adver-
tise, but, don't bother the firm >

THE APPEAL LOST.


a number OF opinions were handed
down in the Supreme Court Tuesday
There Is but one La Sale county case
on the list, and that is Pearson V.
Pearson. The parties live in Iroquois
county, and the land in dispute is To-
Gated in La Sale county. Mrs. Pear
son owned the land in this county,
and it was sold at sheritf'S sale on an
execution issued by the circuit Judge.
An agreement was entered into by
which she was to give Il prOmissory
note for So, 800 in favor Of Josiah M.
Pearson. When she paid the amount
Of the indebt edneSS, which was less
than the amount of the note, he was
to convey the lands back to her. She
complied with her part Of the contract
in every particular, but did not regain
possession of the land. A suit was
begun in the circuit court, and Judge
Stipp gave her possession of the prop
erty. An appeal was then taken to
the supreme court.
The ruling of the court, in sub
stance, Is as follows.
There is conflict in the evidence,
but we agree with the circuit court in
that the preponderance of the evil
dence warrants the conclusion that
defendant in error had after the
agreement alluded to above paid all
she owed plaintiff. The plaintiff in
error is not justified in refusing to
convey lands to appellant and transfer
to her the promissory note. The de-
cree of the circuit court directing
him to make such IA contract is right

The true feeling of the South
towards the negro is admirably eX-
pressed by the Augusta GA. Chronicle,
a Democratic paper, as follows:
"Thc negro is here and here to stay.
He can neither be driven out nor
killed out. 1t would be illegal and
ungrateful to attempt the one and in
human and cowardly to do the other.
The negro is docile and inoifcnsive,
and the best labOrcr the South has
ever known. 1t is the duty of every
decent man in the South to put down
mob law and to see that the colored
man is fairly and kindly treated and
protected in his every right as IA man
and Citizen
There is no race hostility to the
negr2at the South, except on account
of his politics, in which he stands ar.
rayed on the side of the party the
South regards as its enemy. Let him
drop politics and the race war; will
cease.

1t is now about settled that the
fight between Senator Farwell and
President Harrison over the nomina-
ton of Clark as Collector at Chicago
will terminate in a breakdown on the
part of the President and a triumph
for the Scnator-the President having
intimated that the nomination of
Clark will be withdrawn. The Presi-
dent excuses himself for taking back
water by stating that he was imposed
upon by the friends of Clark, who
represented him as an influential,
working Republican, whereas he has
since learned that he was an original
Gresham man, and was so Disguised
with HarrisOn's nomination that he
went off to Europe and never returned
in time to vote for him. Nothing Sc
surely takes a mans name out OF Har-
rison's book as to say he's friend of
Gresham or Alger.

The attempt made some ten or fifteen
