T6UBENECK's DECREE.
Peoples Party Legislators but Populists for
the limited States Senate


TOPEKA, KAN, Dec 1L-Copies of letter
from Fl. o. Taubeneck, Chairman of the
Peoples Party National Central Committee,
have been received here, in which he urges
members of the new party to force the
election of straightout Populists in those
States where they hold the balance Of power
in the Legislature.
Mr.. Taubeneck's letter purports TO be \
reply to one received from d. 3. Hanna, of
Tacoma, WASH. who wishes to prevent. if
possible, any members in the States from
voting for either Republican or a Demo-
crat Ior United States Senator. Tuubeneck
says:
1.-THE great question now is: What will
the Peoples party legislators do when it
comes to balloting for Senators? VIII they
be big enough for the position they occupy2
elected them or will they disgrace their
States and sentiment OF the United States
Senate with tinse of bribery attached to
their certificates OF election, as the State of
Illinois did two years ago? The position our
friends occupy in the different State Legis-
latures is not an enviable one. Any one
who has not gone through contest of that
kind does not know what he will have to
bear. The future of our movements rests
with them. They can either make or de-
stroy the party. But it seems to me that
any one with the fate of Moore and Cocker
ill before him never will turn his back on
the people who elected him. As far as am
concerned will say, give crown Of honor
to him who stands firm, and an eternal
curse to him who betrayS u.s."

SUNDAY cLosERs BEATEN.
Their Resolutions Voted Down at One OF
Their Own Meetinos in Chicaoo


Their Own Meetings in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. A-The American sabbath
Union was voted down in its own meeting
last night. DR.. II. II. George, of Beaver
Falls. a leader in the movement, Mr.. Locke
and others, advocated the closing OF the
Worlds Fair on Sunday, and vigorously de-
nounced the efforts of the directors and of
the Mayor and City Council go have Con-
gress repeal the closing act
After the reading of q set OF resolutions,
the question was put TO vote. To the
Chairman's surprise the ayes and nays
seemed equal. The Chairman then said that
n rising vote would seem to be in order. and
he requestedall in favor of the resolutions
TO stand up. The Secretary counted 80 on
their feet. Gall opposed will rise" The
rest OF the audience, with the exception OF
four who seemed TO have no opinion on the
Matter, stood up, and there we're at least 30
against the resolutions.
After moment of wonder the Chairman
said he would like to have some explana-
tion or the action OF the majority. where
upon Rev. \, d. Jones, editor of the Amer
fcd1l Sentinel, of New York, the organ of the
Seventh Day Adventists, stood up and de-
spite interruptions and questions, made a
long and aggressive speech. In answer TO
questions, the speaker said the employment
OF chaplains in Congress and in the army
was unconstitutional, and that the United
States Congress could not in any way estab-
lish or legalize Sunday law.
The Union to-day, after considerable dis
cussion, declined TO change the wording of
q telegram to Congress, saying meetings
we're held in four parts of the city last night,
protesting against the repeal OF the Worlds
Fair Sunday closing act. An amendment
that only three meetings were held was de-
feated.
The following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Elliott F. Shepard, New York; General
and Corresponding Secretary, Rev. j. L.
Knowles, New York; General Field Secre-
tary, Rev. George, Pennsylvania; Treasurer,
r. N. Perlee, New York.

The worldwide unsavory reputation of
American municipal government is due to
two main causes. One half of the citizens
are too intent on private gains to devote
any attention to their own city's affairs,
and the other makes the result of municipal
elections dependent on irrelevant questions
of national politics. The tariff, the force
bill, the currency, pensions and suoh like
things have no more connection with the
management of city's business than has
the identification of a comet or the moons
iu1luence upon the tides. When Republi-
cans or Democrats attempt to select local
officers on partisan lines, they sacrifice
their city's interests for the benefit not OF
the nation, but of the professional political
wirepullers. When devotion to money-Get-
ting causes apathy at municipal elections
the neglect involves a direct loss to the
municipality, and an indirect to the said
money-getters.

THE terrible loss of life by explosion in

THE terrible loss of life by explosion in
a colliery in Lancashire, England, yeste1'
day is attributed to the carelessness OF the
man whose business it was to inspect the
mine before the admission OF the miners.
The responsibility OF such an officer is i'm
mense, and any disregard of his duties in
wolves such terrible consequences as call
for the administration of the laws severest
penalties when the guilt is proven. Hun
dreds OF miners lives have been lost by
their own negligence of precautions due to
the contempt for danger bred of familiarity
Herewith. In those cases the innocent and
the guilty suffer together on the spot. In
supposititious case of this kind where wives
are widowed and children orphaned by the
neglect of one man the punishment for
crininality SO far reaching cannot be too
severe

A POSSIBLE SENATORIAL LIGHT.

It is now, intimated that the political
and military genius who induced Grover
Cleveland and David Bennett Hill to put
their legs under his mahogany year Or
so ago is to the front again in the role of
pacificator. OF course we refer to Col.
Bill Brown. Col. Brown suggests that
the breach between the administration
and the New York Democratic managers
can be healed by selecting candidate for
the United States Senate who will be
persona grata to both sides. Modesty
does not forbid the gallant Brown from
causing it to be intimated that particu-
larly eligible compromise can be discov-
cred in his own person.
The list of the qualities which entitle
the eminent Colonel to consideration as an
eligible character for the United States
Senate, and as grateful to both sides is
unique. First, he is an ardent admirer of
Cleveland, and lost $500 betting on his
election in 1888. Then he became one of
the immortal 70 who assured the Democ-
racy at Chicago that Cleveland could not
be elected. After which he became an
enthusiastic supporter Of Cleveland, and
demonstrated his faith by the character
istic method of betting enough on
the election to get back all that he
had lost four years before with usury.
Finally that famous dinner and the
possession of a liberal reserve fund, which
Col. Brown is ever ready to put where
it will GO the most good, present him to
the New York Democracy as an ideal
successor of Herman, Conkling, Seward
and Marcy.
One supreme qualification, however, is
overlooked in the statement Of Browns
Qualifications for the United States
Senate, and it should not be omitted II
ne is elected to that august body he can
give the Senatorial poker club points it
never dreamed of, unless it has previously

rHRLAsr CHOLERA CuRE.

The use Of periodate crystals, or perio-
date of iron, for The treatment of cholera
in Hamburg has been accompanied with
results that almost justify the hope that
science, in addition to establishing pre-
ventive measures, has discovered the
treatment of the disease which is likely
to be effective even when it has assumed
epidemic form. Before the cholera out
break in Europe the perlodates had been
used as a powerful nerve or heart
stimulant, as disinfectant to the ali
mentary canal, and as a germicide which
was harmless to the human system.
These qualities indicate its usefulness
in cholera; and the experience with Its use
in the barracks hospital at Hamburg 60
far to making it a sovereign remedy. A
large number of cases treated were of the
most violent type; but the record of the
periodates shows that seventy cures were
effected in a hundred of the worst cases,
while of the cases treated in the early
stages ninety-fve out of hundred were
cured. If this record can be kept up else
where the new remedy will rob the
cholera of nearly all its terrors.
1t is well to remember these things in
view of the possibility of cholera next
year. Sanitation and quarantine have
been shown by worldwide experience to
be the best protection of communities.
Experience has also demonstrated that
boiling all water and thoroughly cooking
all food, with the use of little sulphuric
acid as a prophylactic, will enable coo!-
headed people to face an epidemic with
comparative safety. If, in addition to
this, the periodates can cure the large ma
iority OF actual cases the world need no
longer regard the cholera as one of its
scOuTpes

GUERRERO, MIX, Dec. A.-For the first time

CINCINNATI, Dec. l4.-The last scene in the
trial of Rev. Prof. Henry Preserved Smith
was enacted to-day. Rev. DR.. a. Ritchie,
Acting Moderator, read the sentence of the
court. Prof. Smith broke silence by saying
he was gratified that the trial had been con-
Quoted without disagreeable personalities.
The membe of the Committee of Prosecu-
ton made similar conciliatory speeches.
Protests were then made to the findings by
both sides. Both sides will appeal to the
Synod OF Ohio. Prof. Smith, it is said, will
not be removed from the Lane Seminary, as
it is understood that large maj ority OF the
trustees favor his retention.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMEN Is.
New Amendment Proposed for the Inter
State Commerce Law.


WASHINGTON, Dec. A-An other turn was
taken at the interstate commerce law to-
day in a bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Nj cMillan, of Michigan, in which it is
sought to amend the law by makingit un-
lawful for any common carrier, subject to
the provisions OF the existing law, to enter
into any contract, agreement, ETC., with any
other carrier, for the division OF the freight
of the different competing roads, or to di-
vide between them the aggregate or net
proceeds of the earnings except as provided
in the bill. Each day OF the continuance of
such agreement is deemed separate Oh
fenSe.
Agreements such as are prohibited above
may, however, be made, provided they are
in writing, duly executed, and shall not
conflict with any other provision OF the law.
They may become operative only after hav.
Ing been filed with the interstate
Commerce Commission and approved
by THEM. After such approval each
party is required to deposit suf-
ficient security TO guarantee that the terms
of the agreement will he carried out The
other sectlon of the bill deals with the de-
tails of the method of conviction and pun
ishment
