AS Is generally known, the New York
SIN is not particularly enamored of Mr..
Cleveland. and even yet does not hest
tate to give vent its objections to him,
but ii says Nevertheless, the truth
remains and will remain that the SUI
preme issue of this election is not the
tariff. nor silver. nor Chinese civil SER
vice, nor anything except free elections
everywhere, and white government and
not negro government in the South. "
Ifthe SIN, whose venerable editor has
been personally abused by Mir. Cleve-
land. can talk this way i'll defence of the
South, what sort ola man must he be
who. though living in the South and
heretofore voting the democratic ticket,
now. in face Of the danger referred to,
can think about abandoning the demo
cratic, and joining third party, whose
only possible effect can be 10 help the
republican party, the chief plank in
whose platform is the Force bill?

Railroad, and in letter to w. G..

HOUSE.

IlOUSE.
There were not more than so men,
bers present when the House met this
morning. In the absence Of the chap
lain the session was opened with prayer
by Representative Mckinney, of New
Hampshire, who graduated for the
ministry in 1870.
Before the reading of the journal Mr..
Watson, of Georgia. suggested that
there was no quorum present-the
truth Of which suggestion was undenia-
bic.
Mr.. Cultivate, ofohio, moved a call
of the House.
Mr.. Mc0Iillin, of Tennessee, moved
the approval of the journal, but the
Speaker, stating there was evidently no
quorum present, directed the clerk to
call the roll to ascertain the number in
attendance.
The action of the Speaker in
directing the clerk to call the roll in
stead of counting the House, as ex-
Speaker Reed was wont to do, created
laugh which was joined in by the ex-
Speaker and the present Speaker.
One hundred aud eighty members
having responded to their names, the
journal was read and approved.
Mr.. McDIillin, of Tennessee, from the
committee on rules, reported a resolu-
ton setting apart to-day (after the
morning hour for the consideration of
bills reported by the committee on in
valid pensions Wednesday and Thurs
day for bills reported by the committee
on presidential election; and Friday and
Saturday for bills reported by the COM
mittee on labor. This order is not to
interfere with appropriation or revenue
bills or conference reports. The reso-
luton was agreed to.
Pursuant to the order (after few I'M

was accorded to the committee ON in

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE IS. 1892
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1892-06-28

THE REPUBLICAN C0MMITTEE.-The
national republican committee in
Washington yesterday evening organ
lied for the presidential campaign OF
1892 by electing Hon. w. J. Campbell,
of Chicago, to be its chairman Mr..
Cornelius n. Bliss, New York banker,
to be its treasurer, and Land Commits
sioner "Tom" Carter, of Montana, to
its secretary.
As stated in the GAZETTE, Mr. Clark
son declined reelection because, as
he stated, President Harrison did not
want him to fill the position any longer.
An important feature of the session
was the proposition of Delegate Scott,
of West Virginia, looking to the com
plete reformation of the present method
of appointing delegates to the national
convention. Mr.. Scott proposes that
hereafter delegates shall be apportion-
ed to State not in proportion to the
electoral votes to which it is entitled,
butin proportion to the republican votes
it casts.
The resolution was laid over for ac-
ton at some future meeting of the COM
mittee. Mr. Scott's proposition of as
signing a delegate for every 1000 re-
publican votes cast for the republican
candidate at the last preceding election
is merely tentative. The ratio will
doubtless be considerably decreased.
The Scott proposition is aimed princi-
pally at the States of the far South and
southwest, whose vote never contrib
utes to the success of the republican
ticket, and whose delegates at repub=
lican conventions are constant source
of contest and irritation from their I'M
certainty TO the leaders ofall the va
rious presidential movements at con-
vention.

South HEIGHTS Fire.

At about 10 o'clock Saturday night
fire broke out in and burned to the
g 'ound the house of William Hunt
ress. on South Heights.
The house was unoccupied at the
time, Mrs. Huntress being in Marion
on visit. Mr.. Huntress was in town,
and had not been at the house since
m Drning.
The fire broke out in the rear of the
building. The neighboTs broke open
IL doors and saved all of the furniture
except that of the kitchen, which was
a total loss. The fire boys turned out
but could do nothing, as there is no
water near enough. The house and
contents were valued at $4,000, with
81 COO insurance.
A dairyman named Roessel cut a
large chunk of flesh out of his leg, in
kicking in a window. 1t is evident
that some person set it ON fire, as no
lights were in the house.
The loss of Sanitary Inspector Will
Huntress on Saturday nights fire
amounts to $500. He had been
used to sleeping there during bis
wife's absence, and was at the Mis-.
sion Garden eating lunch when the
fire broke out.
Another incendiary fire occurred
this morning at $50 O'Clock. This time
it was the Beth Ell A. NJ. E.
church, which was burned beyond
repairs. Some one has got it in for
churches and grave yards it seems.

a SURE SION OF DEATH.

A Certain Test Would Contribute to this
al Peace OF Mind Of Every Ono. fsiG
From time to time we are Mortified
by learning that some person has
been buried alive. after assurances
have been given OF death. Under
these circumstances tho opinion OF a
rising French physician upon the sub
ject becomes OF world wide interest;
for since the tests which have been in
use for years have been found unre-
liable no means should be left untried
to prove beyond doubt that life is
actually extinct before conveying our
loved ones to the grave
DIR. Martinez asserts that an unfail-
ing test may be made by producing a
blister on the hand or foot OF the body
by holding the flame of a candle to
the same. for few seconds or until
the blister is formed. which will al
ways occur. II the blister contains
any fluid it is evidence OF life and the
blister only that produced by an or
binary burn; IL on the contrary. tho
blister contains only steam. 1t may be
asserted that life Is extinct
/ The explanation is as follows: A
corpse is nothing more than inert
matter. under the immediate control
OF physical laws which cause NIL
LIQUID heated to certain temperature
to become steam; the epidermis Ia
raised. the blister produced. 1t breaks
with little noise and the steam es-
capcs But IL In spite OF appear
ancss there is any remnant OF life
the organic mechanism continues to
be governed by physiological laws
and the blister will contain Serious
matter. as in the case ofsany ordinary
burns. The test is as simple as the
proof is conclusive. Dry blister:
death. Liquid blister: life Any one
may try It; there is no error possible.
