To instruct committees to perform their con-
stitutionai duty is Insulting in that it is an
duty, or are not disposed to perform 1T. 1t is
also absurd to use the time of the legislature
simply for ''bunco nbe. Express.
fit be insulting for the legislature to
instruct its committees to perform their
constitutional duties, isn't it just as in
sulting for the Governor to recommend
the legislature to perform its con-
stitutional duties? Ism such a
recommendation made in a formal
address by the Governor just as
much an intimation that the legislature
s'does not understand its duty or is not
disposed to perform it, as is an instruc-
tion from the legislature to its commit-
tees. Governor Cleaves pointed out to the
Legislature in his inaugural address that
previous Legislatures had been in the
habit of violating the constitution in re-
gard to charters to business corporations,
and then added, "We should all con-
stantly bear in mind this plain constitu-
tional provision, and upon all applica-
tions for special charters, first consider
and determine whether the objects de-
sired eaa be attained under the general
laws of the State. If they can, the time
of the legislature should not be consumed
in their consideration. nor should the
general public be subjected to the con-
stantly increasing expense attending
legislation Of this character" That is,
Gov. Cleaves urged the legislature to
perform it constitutional duty, thus, acr
coreling to the reasoning of the Express,
insulting the legislature by intimating
either that it did not know its duty or
was not disposed to perform it. But at
the time the Express warmly commended
the remarks of the governo. A few
days later Mr.. Woodbury. of Deering, a
member of the House, rose in his seat
and offered a resolution instructing the
committees (not one committee, but all
of them) to do just what Gov. Cleaves
said they ought to do, report unfavor-
ably all measures for incorporation when
the general law was sufficient, and the
Express accuses him Of insulting the
House. Consistency, thou art a jewel.
AS to the char ge Of talking buncombe it
need only be said that this is quite a
different view of Mr.. Woodbury's motion
from what the Express took on Monday,
when it arraignsd Mr.. Woodbury. for
attempting to gag the House. What it
now undertakes to sneer at as buncombe
it Then considered a very serious matter.
If there had been nothing but buncombe
in the motion there wouldn't have been
any screaming.

NiTRO-GLYcERINE ASA DRUG.
Its Use and Effect in Gases Of Heart
Failure.

r
Nitro-glycerine has proved most eff
cacious medicine in the case of Mr..
Blaine, and according to.general report
its opportnne administration has re-
claimed him several times from the jaws
of death. Although comparatively
''new drug it is now almost universally
used as heart stimulannt. It is adj
ministered hypodermically, by inhalation
or internally in cases where heart failure
has occurred or is imminent, and is all
most Immediate in its effects in relieving
arterial tension.
The New York Sun describes it's use
in general cases as follows: The average
dose is l-1oo Of a grain, although in ex-
ceptional cases as large a dose as 1-25th
of grain is administered. In the drug
stores nitro-glycerine, in liquid form,
dissolved in alcohol, is known as ''glo
noinum,'' and in soluble compressed
form as tablet triturates of nitro-gly-
cerine.' Glonoinum is prepared in
various strengths, but most frequently in
one-tenth; that is, one part of nitro
glyeerine in nine parts of alcohol When
this is to be administered by hypoder-
mic injection, one-tenth of a grain of
plonoinum is diluted in 10 drops of dis
TILED water, and the injection is made
with the usual hypodernic syringe under
the skin on any convenient part of the
body.
The effects of even so mild dose are
apparent in a few minutes, bringing an
almost imperceptible pulse up to nearly
normal. or, at least, what the doctors
call fairly good.' In this city such
treatment is used in the hospitals in the
case of weak heart, resulting from sun-
stroke, or, to cite more seasonable pos
sibility, where heart failure is present or
anticipated in pneumonia or kindred dis-
eases. In the latter class of cases the
dose is generally administered in ernally,
The druggists have not yet classed
litro-glycerine among their popular poi
sons with persons intent on suicide or
murder. Yet it is quite as potent for
death, used as drug, as it is in the
better known shape of an explosive. A
case has been legally decided in which
death was criminally produced by this
poison. How it's ultimate effects as a
poison are manifested the reporter who

LARGE CONTEST SUIT.
Hon L. M. Hall Drops Dead on Seattle
Street Yesterday.


SEATTLE, WASH, April Especial +
The commencement of the suit by the
step-d daughters of the William Renton
estate has dragged out family skeleton,
and has developed some startling
charges. By reason of some agreements
which Captain Renton is said to have
entered into with his step-daugnters, it
is alleged that he defrauded them out of
about three million dollars worth of
property. 1t is also claimed the execu-
tor of the Renton will, who is nephew
of Captain Renton, is in collusion with
Captain Renton to defraud his step
daughters. This will contest and suit
to recover the possession of property is
perhaps the largest contest and suit of
this nature ever brought in the state of
Washington.
Yesterday Hon. 1. NJ. Hall dropped
dead on Second street. Mr.. Hall was at
one time the leading lawyer of Wash
ington territory, but dissipation caused
rapid decline, which resulted in his
death. The demise is sad one to the
community, owing to the high position
which Mr.. Hall once occupied. Appro-
