Tie Post-D Dispatch suggests, that
the colored population of Missouri
ought to feel grateful to the lcgisla-
ture for the passage of the bill re-
ducing transportation charges on
watermelons. This would imply that
the bill vas passed in the interest Of
the consumer, whereas 1t has been
loudly proclaimed that the bill was
passed in the special interest of the
farmer. In fact when the farmer
members at the recent session were
complaining that the lobby was de-
feating all the measures which the
agriculturists asked for they were
reminded that the strong arm Of the
law had been placed around the
watermelon as q special recognition
Of the farming interests. As this bill
was about all the farmers got in the
way OF Legislation 10 tighten The bur-
dens of agriculture we do not think
the effort to rob them of the c%onsola-
ton the affords by making
the colored citizens the beneficiary,
should be encouraged.
True, the legislature failed to pass
the bill to regulate express compan-
les through which the public would
have been saved from robber charges !;
failed to grant the relief asked for
preventing the railroads from charg-
ing exhorbitant rates in the transport
tation of grain and live stock failed
to provide for the taxing of corpora
tons in proportion to their earnings
as is done in the more progressive
and less corporation ridden states of
the union, but they reduced the
freight rates on watermelons, and
the leading agricultural and stock
growing state of the union should
consider itself blessed"

THE SEALERlEs CASE.

Atty-Gen. Miller Announces i'm Court
That the Question viii BE Submitted
to Arbitration.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE hearing
of the Behring sea sealeries. case in the
supreme court was resumed at 1890
a. m. Atty Zen Miller interrupted
Solicitor-Gen. Taft during the course of
his remarks TO announce that it had
been agreed to submit the controversy
between the United States and Eng
land as to the seal fisheries to arbitra-
ton, and that the official announce
ment of that fact would soon be made.
This now cele brated case arises out
of the seizure of the Canadian sealer
w. p Sayward in Behring sea for vio-
lation of the act of congress making it
a penalty to catch seals within the
waters of Behring sea. The vessel
was libeled under the admiral
ty laws of the United States
and after trial the United States
district court of Alaska declared for
fixture of the vessel The case was
then brought to this court on a motion
for writ of prohibition to stop the
Alaskan court from taking measures to
enforce the decree. the ground for
this motion being contention that the
court had no jurisdiction to try the of
Tense. for the reason that it was com
mitted more than miles from shore,
and therefore under the law
of nations, without the iurisdic-
ton of the United States. By
this method it is sought to secure an
opinion from this court on the
question which has been for a long
time in controversy between the United
States and Great Britain as to the right
of the former country to exclusive
control of the seal fisheries in Behring

BRAZIL IN A FERMENT.

The Province of Grao Para Declares Its
Independence of Fonseca-The Country
Believed to BE the Verge of Far
Reaching Revolution.
LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch just
received here from Pernambuco says
that the province of Grao Para has de-
clared its independence of the Brazil
ian republic and that the province of
Bahia is expected also to throw off the
yoke of allegiance to the republic.
This action is due to dissatisfaction at
the assumption of dictatorial powers
by President Fonseca.
The dissatisfaction with Fons eca's ac-
ton has been steadily growing, and
since the action repudiating Fonseca at
Rio Grande do Sol the revolutionary
feeling has developed with startling
rapidly. The general opinion is that
Brazil is on the verge of a great civil
war

Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebied, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, OF Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
"Liver complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until | commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla / could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began TO return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me q
new lease of life

AFRAID OF THE MINERS.

Tennessee's Governor Preparing for
Emergencies When the Convicts Are
Taken Back to the Mines.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 11.-Matters
between the re bellious miners and the
state of Tennessee are almost at a
standstill the governor asserting THAT
he will rebuild the stockades and the
miners daring him to do it. Gov. Bu-
hanan realizes the responsibility and
is much alarmed at the aspect affairs
have taken. He has been in commune
cation with the secretary of war for
some days past, and has asked aid of the
United States If the worst comes. The
general opinion in the south is that a
serious fight cannot be averted. Gov.
Blu chanan is said to fear his handful Of
troops win not be able TO withstand
the 5000 miners of East Tennessee,
who would be reinforced by 90
600 others from Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia. and
would probably wipe out the available
militia at his command and then over
ride the whole state in reckless out
lawry.
