SINCE the double chloride of gold
treatment has been shown to be so ef-
fcacious in the cure of alcoholism,
would it not be an admirable thing for
some astute chemist to devote himself
to the search for very effective hypo-
dermic treatment of that grievous dis
ease, demigogism? In some respects
demagogism is worse than alcoholism
because it befuddles the average human
understanding more hopelessly and
taxes the people just as much. Let us
experiment with the chlorides and see
if some specific cannot be obtained to
cure this most disgusting and mischiev-
Gus maladv.

FOR POSTAL CURRENCY.
An Important Measure Introduced In the
House of Representatives..

An Important Measure Introduced In tho
House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Represen-
tative Kyle pa. has introduced a bill
in the house to provide a postal cur
rency, which it proposes to substitute
for postal notes. Instead Of the pres
ent postal notes the bill provides for
the issue, under the supervision of the
post Office department, of postal cur
rency in denominations of 10, 25, so
and 70 cents, to postmasters 1t is made
legal tender for sums less than 81,
and is redeemable at any post Office in
sums Of 81, at any fourth-class
money order office in sums of S.,
and at any Office of the first, sec
ond and third classes to an amount not
exceeding $40 in any one payment to a
single individual. The passage of this
bill is urged by publishers and mer-
chants who do business through the
mails. It is claimed that there is pop
ular demand for measure which would
enable the people to remit through the
mails fractional parts of dollar with
out the expense and inconvenience of
visiting the post Office and paying a
charge for postal notes. 1t is further
urged that it would work a large saw
ing in the abolition of the postal note
with its attendant machinery of issue
and redemp ptiOn.

solitary fve-dollar bill and wanted to
blow it in badly, hit upon novel plan
the other day by which to save and
spend it both. The bill was given him
by a friend, and he was determined

He paid a visit to his uncle, raised
$4.62 on the bill, and spent it according
to his tastes. When further funds came
in he redeemed the original note.

R. A. Lea was charged with being ac.

edge of that murder. The ch arge was
made in an amended answer to the
complaint in the Lea Gordon SANDER
suit, the answer being put in by w.
C. Williams, of Milwaukee. Gordon's
lawyer.
Lea sued Gordon some time ago for
IS, 900 dam ages, alleging that Gordon
said that he (Lea) killed Banker Mead.
Gordon on Thursday filed an amended
alleges that plaintiff had good reason
to believe that at the time of the rob-
berry and murder of Banker Mead, Lea
was cognizant of said crime and that he
was implicaeed in and accessory to the
crime. This is the first time that Lea
had ever been charged with the crime
and it caused a mighty sensation. Lea

agreed and the case was afterward dismissed.
From that time up to November, 1890, moth
ing was done in the matter. At that time the
county board offered a reward of S2,00O for the

a deputy sheriff at New London swore out
a warrant charging Tab Pryor, who was
night policeman at the time OF the
murder with the crime. His examina-
tion took place December g. 1890, at
New London, and he was discharged
