SENATOR HARRIS was elected and
sworn in as Speaker pro tempore of
the Senate last Wednesday. This
is a compliment to the best posted
member in parliamentary law Of
that body, as well as one Of the old
est and ablest Senators. There
will be no monkeying Of fillibuster-
ING Republicans when he is in the
chair. Milan Exchange.
PERHAPS no weaker argument
could have been made against the
age of consent bill than that of Mr..
Tiption-that the shotgun was the
best punishment for the seducer.
In this he is correct, but the shot
gun doesn't save the seducer's vic
tim. The object of the law should
be to prevent crime, as well as to
punish theeriminal after the offense
is committed jackson Wing.
AFTER amending the bill making
the age of consent IS years to 1t
years and / day, it passed the house
by vote of &C to 20. The change
in the age was compromise, as
majority of the house, for reasons
satisfactory to. themselves, if mo-
their constituents, opposed the bill
in its original form. 1t is to BE-
hoped that the senate will pass thu
bill without delay. Jackson Wing

! Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
hll theorgans Of the body are under the con.
/ ttol OF the nerve centers, located ia or near
the Dase OF the BRAIN and that when these are
ueranged the organs which they supply with
nef' e mud are also deranged. When lt Is re-
met 1ered that serious injury to the spinal
-ofu VIII cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented oy the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, IL will be understood how
tae arrangement Of the nerve centers will
t4use tne derangement Of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
, IMO-thirds OF chronic diseases are due to
tue imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
lhe Dase or the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
ser me great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve cenfers which
are the cause OF the trouble.
BR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
eialisthas profoundly studied this subject for
over ~ years, and has made many important
discoveries IN connec tion with Il, chief among
them being the facts contained I'm the above
statement and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache di2zi-
ness, 0ullnesss confusion, pressure blues
mania melancholy. insanity, epilepsy, ST.
Nltus dance, etc, arc nervous diseases no
matter now caused. The wonderful success OF

oasabIanea Grover.

Grover stood on the Free-Trade deck,
Whence all but him had fed
His silver bill around his neck
Aud vetoes in his head.
Not beautiful, he stubborn stood,
And sought to rule the storm;
A creature Of the Mugwump blood,
Though Democrat in form.
His party caied he would not go
Without the Mugwump's word
The winds through Peffer's whiskers blow
But Grover never heard.
He called aloud. "Say, Gresham. say,
Ifyet my task be done
Protection have we busted up,
Free-Trade for England won ?"
Speak, CockTeil - once again he cried,
"Oh, let me hear from Vest"
But Bland declared, The ways divide"
Aud he was going West.
Chamu Clark was writing up speech
About that Western man"
And Altgeld was prepared to teach
The new anarchist plan.
Maynard was studying how to steal
For Hill another place
New Jersey Democrats appeal
For winter gambling race.
Lochreu was busy writing names
OF pensioners refused,
And Bissell playing at the games
Of postmasters abused.
Gresham was working at his best,
A project low aud mean,
To crush republics in the West
And seat a negro queen.
Olney was busy to his eyes,
And though the party bust"
He thought it suited to his size
To help another trust.
The "Tiger" in his New York liar
Was up to other fun
The banks and brokers well must fare,
Said Dana and his Sun.
The Bay State Democrats appeared
To be in awful need,
The logic Of events they feared,
And that Of Thomas Reed.
While from Iowa came cry,
A sad. heart. breaking noise,
"Come up and help us ere we die.
Or Jackson1l wallop Boise"
The unemployed on every hand
Were crying, "Giye us bread
Your Free Trade talk has wrecked theland
Aud killed Industry dead"
On Growers brow he felt their breath,
But on the Free-Trade deck
He knew not lurked his party's death,
And set his stubborn neck.
He shouted but once mere aloud,
"Look at the Great am,
Free-Trade or bust shall be my shroud,
Mckinley is a clam I"
The ballots soon were flying wild
Projections tide was high,
The ballot boxes soon were piled,
"Down with Trade % the cry.
There came burst of thunder sound,
A loud Protection peal,
Mckinley bombs were flying round,
Aud killed poor Larry Neal.
Boise, Maynard, Russell, where are they
And Cleveland, where is he?
Ask of the winds that far away
With fragments strewed the sea.
With tigers, cranks and brigadiers,
The Free-Trade college dude,
And Grover at the last appears,
In innocuous deseutude.

There is a great deal of indignation felt
against trusts. The Sugar Trust, the Stand

English Salt Trust, aud other combinations

it Is a subject of controversy whether there
are mole trusts in England than in America,
and whether protection or free trade fosters
them. But there is one form Of trust against
which no one has anything to say. That is
the trust the public reposes in Hoods Sarsa-
