Farmer Wallace is on top again. The
report that he had been subdued to a
quiet and ordinary farmer is ar error.
The farmer knows not where to lay his
head when prospects like the present
stare him in the face. When the rich
young commonwealth for which he has
labored long and earnestly, early and
late, promises to show itself in a true
light, the farmers heart rejoices. His
latest is a gopher story. He says-and
cites Ed. Sloan and Captain Voolfolk as
authority-that the gophers are migrat-
ing westward and are actually swimming
the Missouri river in large numbers.
Whether the flight is due to their hav-
ing learned the nickname of the state or
the fact that the vegetation is so rank
that there is no for them, the farm
or does not know, but certain he is
upon the excellent authority quoted
that the gophers are going west. The
TRIBUNE also has other evidence. A
farmer from Painted Woods, Ole Olson
by name, saw them plunging madly into
the Big Muddy at that point-all headed
to the west. He told an uncle of his and
he told a farmer who lives southeast of
Bismarck, who told a land seeker and he
told Asa Fisher, who told Myron Hutch
inson and he transmitted the knowledge
to a TRIBUNE reporter. So the TRIBUNE
has got it straight. There is no mistake
about it,

Worlds Fail Notes.

M. Proust, whom the French Worlds
Fair commission selected to be director
of the French art exhibit at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, held a similar
position at the late Paris exposition,
and is unquestionably eminently fitted
for t he place. In speaking Of the selec-
ton, Director G. L. Hutchinson, chair
man of the exposition committee on
fine arts said: mo better man for the
place could have been found in all
Europe. To him almost entirely is due
the credit for the magnificent art ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition. I met
him three or four times while I was in
Paris, and he told me then that he would
like to have charge of the French art ex-
hibit at the Columbian exposition, and
said he would accept if the position were
offered him. L am exceedingly pleased
that he has been chosen, for he will not
fail in making a magnificent fine art ex-
hibit for France"
In Cleveland, Ohio, it is reported, a
company is being organized to run ex-
cursion steamers to Chicago from Lake
Erie ports during the fair. It is pro-
posed to place comfortable temporary
passenger cabins on several big steel
freight steamers and run the boats be-
tween Lake Erie and Chicago, where
they will be kept a week or ten days as
hotels for their passengers.
Ayellow fir tree, measuring Ill feet in
length and 81 inches in diameter, has al
ready been started towards the Worlds
Fair, having been shipped from Seattle a
week or more ago.
Melville E. Stone, who was appointed
chief of the exposition's department of
foreign affairs, has decided that he can
not accept the position.
Illinois has appropriated $500, 900 for

There are some patent medicines that
are more marvellous than a dozen doc.
tors prescriptions, but they're not those
that profess to cure everything.
Everybody, now and then, feels "run
down." "played out" They've the will,
but no power to generate vitality.
They're not sick enough to call a doctor,
but just too sick to be we'll. That's
where the right kind of a patent medi-
cine comes in, and does for a dollar what
a doctor wouldn't do for less than five or
ten. W. put in our claim for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
We claim it to be an unequaled rem.
edy to purify the blood and invigorate
the liver. We claim it to be lasting in
its effects, creating an appetite, purifying
the blood, and preventing bilious, ty,

first feel the signs of WEAKNESS and

incubation Of Mosquitoes against Yellow
Fever

Drs. Finlay and DelgadO, of Havana,
have published in the Reristd de Cen
eias Medicas some statistics Of their
practice of inOculating persons newly
arrived III Cuba against yellow fever
by means of mosquitoes which have
been caused to contaminate themselves
by stinging a yellow fever patient.
These observations have been carried
on for the last ten years, and, in addi-
ton 10 a certain number which are
still incomplete, may be said to consist
of tifty-two cases of mosquito i~nocula-
ton which have been followed up.
OF these, twelve experienced between
the fourth and the twenty-sixtl. day
after incubation a mild attack Of vel
low fever, with or without Albumin
ria; twelve experienced no symptoms
OF yellow fever either within twenty
five days after the incubation or dur
ing three years subsequently twenty
four experienced no symptoms within
twenty-five days, but contracted a
mild attack before the end of three
years, either uncomplicated by albu
minuria altogether or with only a very
transient appearance of it three who
had had no symptoms within twenty
vedays contracted well marked yellow
fever within three years; one patient
who had a mild attack in consequence
of incubation contracted a sever at
tack later on, which proved fatal !; that
is to say, that of those who had been
inoculated, only about 8 per ZEN con-
tracted the disease in a we'll marked
form, with a mortality of under 2 per
cent In order to enable us TO appre-
ciate the significance of these figures,
the authors mention that they observ-
ed sixty-tive monks who from time to
time arrived in Havana, where they
all live under similar conditions.
Ihlrty-three of these were i~noculated
and thlrty-twO We're not. Only two of
the lnoculated contracted we'll marked
attacks, which, however, did not prove
fatal, whereas eleven of those that had
not been inOculated were severely at

The Power Of Congress.

1t wOuld be well for those who ask
Congress to pass anti-lottery laws,
Sunday LAWS and temperance laws,
to read the debates in the Continental
Congress assembled to adopta Consti-
tuition. and to read the debates in the
Conventions of the several States,
met to adopt II reject the Constitu-
ton.
The fears of the wisest men was
that under the Constitution the Ma
tiOnal Congress would assume powers
not granted by the States. Conse-
quently, the clause was inserted,
"That all powers not granted in this
Constitution are reserved to the sew
eral States" But for this saving
clause the Constitution would not
have been accepted by any of the
States and this glorious Union of
sovereign States would not have been
entered into and bound together by Il
written bond. The reformers who
ask Congress to pass mail aAti-lottery
laws, do not take into consideration
that Congress has no power in the
premises.
The Louisiana Lottery is a State
institution, chartered by a State Lee
gislature and recognized by a State
Constitution. If Congress can legis-
late for or against the Louisiana
Lottery, then, as far as States rights
is concerned, your National Consti-
tuition is a dead letter and your State
has no right whatever.
There is a tendency on the part of
the National Government to encroacli
upon the rights of the States. Here
tofore this disposition by Congress to
absorb all State powers, has been
resisted by the Democratic party. and
the principal feature that has distin-
gnlslled the Democrats from the
Republicans of this day, is that the
former is in favor of a strict construc-
ton of the Constitution, while the
latter favor latitude in constituting the
work of the Fathers.
Ii the action of Congress is the rule
by which we may judge the future,
the day is close at hand when this
government will become a central one.
with little or no restraint; no checks.
no limitations beyond which Congress
may not go-all barriers will be
broken down; and if our legislators,
onr preachers and our political parties
continue to petition Congress to legls-
late upon what specially concerns the
sovereign States, this evil day will
be FASTENED, and we will soon witness
a change in oar happy form of govern
ment.
The great beauty of our system Of
government has been that Congress
and the States each revolves. like the
planets, in its own constitutional
sphere. This was made so by the
wisdom of our fathers.
Let US perpetuate the system, and
these free, United States will continue
to grow in population, in power, in
grandeur, and our children aad our
clildren's children will inherit from
us, in its original purity, what was
given to us by the patriots of the
Coupee Democrat.
