A Wonderful Discovery

Mrs. Geo. P. Smoote, highly cul-
tivated and estimaple lady of Pres
colt, Ark, writes under date of Ap.
ril %, 1889: "During the summer of
1887 my eyes became inflamed, and
my stomach and liver almost hope
lessly disordered. Nothing 1 ate
agreed with me. l took chronic d.
arrhea, and for some time my life
was despaired Of by my family.
The leading physicians of the count.
ry were consulted, and the medi-
cines administered by them never
did any permanent good, and I lin
gered between life and death, the
latter being preferable to the agon-
les I was enduring. In May, 1883,
l became disguised with physicians
and their medicines. 1 dropped
them all, and depended solely on
Swift's Specific Is. s. S., few bot
ties of which made me permanent
ly well-well from then until now."

The President has removed a
batch of Receivers ofpublic moneys
on account of their being short in
their cash. The officers removed
were in Arizona, California, North
Dakota, Colorado and Kansas.
There are more removals of the
same sort already determined upon.
Secretary Tracy has appointed a
Naval Court of inquiry to gather
the information asked for by Sena-
tor Chambers resolution, as to Nav
al officers banding together to in
fluence certain legislation, recently
adopted by the Senate.
Senator Jones has introduced a
bill to discontinue the coinage of So
and 81 gold peices and three-cent
nickel pieces. The coinage of these
pieces has already been practically
abandoned by the Government be-
cause there is no demand for them.

The Earth Moved South,

A man in South Carolina writing
in relation to the warm weather

two hundred miles to the south.
Gen. Greedy says in relation to
the warm weather, that the gener.
al average all over the country is
ten degrees warmer than ever
known; that in this latitude it is
nineteen degrees warmer. If the
South Carolina man is right, we
are now enjoying what was the
latitude of Macon, Ga. But, as the

Ballot Reform.

Ballot reform has been in the air
for two or three years. The cleo
lions in the Southern States and IN
the great Northern cities furnished
all the evidence that one could
wish that a free ballot and an hon.
est count were in many places only
tradition of better days of our
political life. Universal suffrage is
the veriest fare e ever introduced in
civil government unless it is free,
intelligent and pure. The purity of
the ballot ia of the highest impor.
lance: there is no government of
the people unless it can be main.
tanned. But only within a brief Pc
Rod has ballot reform been con.
sidered a public question. The
platforms of the political parties
have indeed pronounced in its ia
vOr in an indefinite way, in the
same style that they recognize civil
service reform, something in which
they have no faith, bnt which they
dare not ignore.
But the fall State elections have
placed the question before the PEG.
pie, and the pronounced success of
the new systematic Australian
method with various notifications
especially in Massachusetts, has
aroused the fears and indignation
of the political managers far and
near. For the people see clearly
that the universal adoption by the
States of this new method of vot-
ing will give what they desire, hon.
est elections. The system might be
properly described as sure meth.
cd of destroying the power
Of the political bosses. This
detestable class of public men who
thrive on fraudulent voting, will
not consent to the adoption Of any

Dentists and Chewing Gum.

"When chewing-gum was invent
ed" said prominent specialist an
intestimable boon was conferred on
dentists. The gum does clean the
teeth, it is true, but it pulls the
plugs out of them. That is why
the dentists like it so. The Brook
lyn man who has made a fortune
out of chewing-gum was trying to
discover in the juice of the Mexican
tree he now uses for this gum q
substitute of India rubber. His
substitute was failure. Some
body gave him the idea of provid-
ing idle jaws with something to
chew on, and 10! it all turned to
gold."-N. Y. Herald.

An important Decision.

The Kansas Supreme Court on
last Saturday rendered decision
which must De considered the great
est victory which prohibition has
yet gained in the courts, One Full
ker, in charge of u railroad depot
and express Office at OketO, was
prosecuted in the District Court for
unlawfully selling intoxicating
liquors. He had shipped to him
from Blue Springs, Neb., "prize
package" boxes, each containing a
jug of whisky. These he sold In
the form in which they were ship
ped, claiming that the interstate
commerce law gave him the right
to do 80. He was found guilty and
sentenced to pay fine of $1,000
and to Imprisonment. He appealed
to the Supreme Court OF the State.
The Court says: Intoxicating liq-
uOrs transported from another State
to point in Kansas are subject to
the laws of Kansas to the same ex-
tent and in like manner a. other
intoxicating liquors already right
fully existing in the State, and can
not be sold at the place of destina-
ton in the original packages or in
any other form, except as the laws
of the State prescribe. The police
power of the State, 80 exercised,
does not infringe on the power del
egated to Congress to regulate COM
merce between states" The Il se
will probably be taken to the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, and
should it affirm the decision of the
State Court it puts an entirely new
phase on the practical workings of
prohibition. And there is reason
to believe that the highest court
will snstain the decision, for it is in
line with all their former decisions.
that the States have entire control
of the enforcement OF their police
regulations.
This decision Is in accordance
with the views offered by the TINES
two or three weeks since, and is
certainly in accordance with right
and justice 1t is confidently be-
lieved the Supreme Court of the
United States will confirm it. If
the State has no power to regulate
and support its police power in the
state, then state governments
should be abolished and try our
hand on a great central govern

people.

two weeks three of the most cor

Relics Of Barbarism.

| n0lICS Vi DdT OoTISIus
We often speak with pride OF
"This enlightened age of the world
and boast of the great strides that
have been made in the way of ed
ucation and Civilization" during
the last century. And We are often
forced to speak of "The dark ages
when all manner of barbarity and
cruelty were practiced and held in
high esteem as sports and amuse-
ments. Bull fights" "Dog fights"
and "Cock fights" were some of the
more prominent. History tells US
that some of the most important
witnesses that testified against our
Savior was summoned and brought
up from the cockpit and that is
how the chicken come to be in the
crowd that crowed at Peters third
denial.
So it can be seen at once that it
was the very lowest grade of hu.
mainly that was engaged in the
business even at that age of the
world.
And we also learn from the same
source that at the beginning of the
great Reformation, and even at the
first settling of this country some of
these things were practiced, but in
every instance it was by the lower
classes. But as onr civil and relig-
eous liberties began to increase, and
this grand country of ours began to
be dotted over with Schools, Col
leges and Churches, and the masses
began to occupy h higher plane of
moral and social existance, such
base practices began to fall into dis
use, and in fact some states passed
laws prohibiting such conduct with
in our borders. And right here let
me digress little from the subject,
No one ever asked for a License
from either state or nation in order
to make the business respectable
in consequence of the revenue to be
derived from it.
But what l want to know, is this,
can ministers of the gospel, presi-
dents, professors and teachers Of
our schools, together with. superin.
tendents of Sabbath Schools and
Bands of Hope, sit with folded
hands and let such conduct be prac-
ticed right under the very shadow
of our colleges and churches, with.
out rebuke? Surely not; if they are
aware Of the fact. But its not al
all likely that they know of it, be.
cause back lots, back alleys and
out of the way places are always
selected for such sports, (Which is
nothing more nor less than the rel.
les of barbarism.) Then is it not
our duty as citizens, and patriots,
If we ere not preachers and teach.
ers, If we have the welfare of our
country and the elevation of socie.
ty at heart, as well as that of our
own families, to speak out in no un.
certain sound, 80 that our teachers
and leaders may know what is 60.
ing on in our midst, and the old
adage is "that an ounce of proven.
tative is worth a pound of cure"
