In view of the fact that large num-
Der of passengers afflicted with pulmo-
nary complaints are carried on French
railroads on their way to southern dis
tricts, it has been found expedient to
adopt measures to insure thorough dis
infection of the bedding in the sleeping
cars and of the seat cushions. The vel
vet cushions and silk curtains will be
abandoned, and the seats will be fitted
with soft leather coverings which can
be easily cleaned. Coarse carpets are
to be substituted for those of finer quail
ity now in use, and these are to be thor
oughly beaten after every trip. The
bed clothes will be steamed, and the
mattresses covered with impervious silk
or with gutta-percha- Besides all this,
1t is considered desirable to provide iso-
lated compartments for passengers saf-
zering from pulmonary disease.

Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Nev. County, Ark.) 1885-1???, 1891-04-16

Observe above the great disparity
in vote of Union county in 1888 from
that of 1884, which can only be ac-
counted for in one way: the demon
alization and trouble in that county
the latter year, which occurrence IS
known to all. In the vote OF 1883 I'M
ion gave 1177 Democratic majority,
when she gave only 232 majority in
1884. Take away the unnatural ma
jority Of this county in 1888, and the
district by that vote will have only
about 500 Democratic majority.
When the old Third district was
first formed, in 1882, it then had q
small Democratic majority but by
thorough party organization it con-
tinued increasing until We had QUO OF
the strongest districts in the State,
Now, that our district has been made
smaller, by taking from it five Demo-
cratic counties and adding two 9TH
ers having very large Republican
majorities, which makes it again the
closest in the State, it will take good
party management and perfect organ
ization to win. The Legislature has
fixed this condition upon us, and it
behooyes us to take heed thereto
Remember this district is now fight
ing ground for the opposition, so let
us be careful, and maintain thor
ough party organization. Begin the
work now!

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The Third Congressional District
politically, is now much closer than
it has been heretofore, as we pro-
pose to show below by a statistl-
cal vote of the counties of which 1T is
now composed. Our last Legisla-
ture is responsible for this condition,
the Senate amending the original re-
apportionment bill as reported 10y
Joint committee from both houses,
by taking Bradley out of the Ihlrd
and putting it in the Second district.
Bradley has Democratic majority
of COO or 700. Messrs. +, +. White,
of this county, and Asa Morgan, OF
Union. members Of the House APP
portionment committee, opposed this,
but were overridden, hence we e1-
onorate them from all blame in the
matter, as also the other members
and senators from the Congressional
district. They were willing to give
up four of our Democratic counties
for the general party welfare, but
opposed parting with Bradley, the
fifth one. The district was com
posed of nineteen counties before
the reapportiontion, but now has
only sixteen, Polk, Hot Springs,
Dallas, Drew and Bradley having
been taken from and Chicot and
Desha added to it by the Legisla-
ture. The two added are heavily
Republican.
For the purpose of comparison
and argument we will give the vote
of counties, now composing the dis
trict, in the Presidential election Of
1884 as we'll as in 1888;
