nervous prostration when no other medicine

Facts In Astronomy.

THE nearest fixed star is 81 900, 000,-

THE moon is without water, and
destitute of an atmosphere.
SOME of the stars move with We

THE fixed stars are suns, and each
may have its own planetary system.
THERE are twenty stars OF the first
magnitude and seventy Of the second.
THE fixed star second in distance is
SO, 000, 900, 900 of miles from the earth.
To the naked eye 5000 stars are visi-

THERE are stars whose diameter is
greater than that of our whole solar
system.
THE tail of a comet is believed to be
matter similar to that contained in the

THE earth has three motions: Round
its axis, round the sun and with the
sun and solar system.
THE spectre cope has shown that the

The "Sweating" Evil In Large Cities.

The result OF the investigation Of
the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Manufactures on the
sweating" system Of employing labor
in the large cities is such as to call
for prompt measures for the amelio-
ration of the condition of the poor
people who are compelled to slave
for the sweating" bosses in crowded
rooms where sanitation is impossible.
lhiS is demanded not only in the in
terest of the miserable toilers them
selves, but also as "A safeguard against.
the spread Of contagious disease.
The committee found people work
ing on clothing in filthy dens, in
which, in some instances, eight or
ten toilerS occupied rooms as small as
12Xl4 feet in size, and saw contagion
placardS on doors in tenement
houses in which sweat" shops are
located. 1t can readily be seen how
disease can be spread broadcast by
the distribution Of articles of cloth
ing made under such conditions, and
the report Of the investigating COM
mittee may afford an explanation Of
sudden outbreaks Of malignant dis
ease in districts in which sanitary
conditions are comparatively perfect.
Tenement-hOuse ready-made cloth
ing and tenement-house cigars are
placed under ban by this report. and
unless the evil Of the sweating" sys-
tenn can be cured by the application
of direct remedial measures, the pub
lie may eventually demand the disin-
fection by fumigation Of all clothing
not made in registered shops under
the supervision OF sanitary inspec-
tors. We buy meat now which is
certified as having been inspected;

ELEVEN MEN WERE KILLED.
Bloody Battle at the San Juan Mining
Camp I'm Colorado.


The San Juan mining camp has fol-
lowed the precedent5 of all great min
ing excitemehts by baptizing itself with
human blood. A courier arrived in
Bluffs City, Col, and reported terrible
battle, In which over one hundred shots
were exchanged. He reported eleven
men killed and large number wounded.
George Ferguson, an old prospector,
and James Cody, known as Blind Jim,
one OF the best-known characters in
Arizona and New Mexico mining canaps,
are among the slain The courier was
in state of breathless excitement nEd
had left the ground, after the last shot
was fired, to obtain medical aid.
A private dispatch from Dolores 20
John Eddy, a Denver mining man, con-
firms the terrible report. The trouble
grew out of a dispute over certain claims
which have been staked out. There are
nearly 5000 men on the fields, and
there has been very little attention paid
to the people stalking off claims. The
prOspectors have simply devoted tn eir
time to prospecting and securing the
sands to find the most promising loca-
tions. There have been few claims
staGed out. however, in places where
many dollars TO the pan have been
found, but the lines of the claims, it is
said, were not recorded and quarrel
ensued.
The direct cause of the trouble was
the discovery OF large nuggets in the
bed of a small stream. Up to the mo-
ment OF the rich strike everything was
all right, but the sight OF the large mug
gets had the same effect on the pros
pectors as red rag on a Mexican bull.
Each man claimed that he had first
located the ground, and to settle the
dispute guns were brought to boar.
There Were over forty men engaged in
the terrible conflict. Few, if any, es-
capped unhurt. The information of the
trouble has caused great excitement in
Denver among prospectors, who were
skeptical of the fabulous wealth of the
new gold fields.
The battle will undoubtedly bring
thousands OF people to the new camp,
for the old prospectors regard deadly
conflicts over mining claims as the best
evidence of rich strik S.

Republicans and the senate.

If the Republicans are lawfully en-
titled TO any of the Senatorial seats
now in question in the Western
States, the Republicans will have
them. The New York Press says
SO much is certain. We have seen
it suggested that the Republicans
ought TO let the Democrats take the
Senate in order that the Democratic
party may have full responsibility for
the legislation OF the coming two
years or four years. This is nonsense.
The Republicans should and will
claim and secure all the offices to
which they are entitled by the will
Of the electors expressed in accord
with the Constitution and laws.
The Republican party has no right
TO concede, and the Democratic party
no right TO receive, either more or
less. If it should prove that the
Democratic victory has not been as
sweeping as originally claimed, and
that the Republicans are entitled to
majority in the upper house of
Congress, the Republicans will have
majority. 1t is not question Of
what Republicans or Democrats
would like or dislike, but of what
the Constitution provides.
The Republicans Of the Western
States should spare no lawful effort
to have Republican Senators elected.
If they should fail in asserting their
rights they would be guilty Of faith
lessness to their country as well as
TO their party. On the other hand,
the Democrats must understand that
the Republicans Of the West will not
submit either to intimidation or
fraud. The methods Of South Caro-
lima will not do in dealing with the
stalwart pioneers of the prairies, and
may prove a dangerous boomerang to
those who attempt such iniquitous
schemes. Republicans ask for no
more than their rights under the law
of the land, md those rights they
should and will maintain.

To Jump on the Tariff.

Democracy has come into power
upon a plain and most aggressive
platform. That platform declares
that the protective tariff of the Re-
publican party is a fraud and rob-
berry. Upon that platform Mr.. Cleve-
land planted himself and was elected,
and every provision therein will be
carried out. The Democratic party
proposes TO jump on the present tar
lff. 1t proposes TO deface the old
thing so that its own father, the
present minority Governor OF Ohio,
will not know it. Democracy will
shiver it from top to lotion till its
rotten and boated old carcass will
sift water like a sieve. 1t will shake
it till plutocracy takes on the pallor
of the grave, and monopoly's death
rattle will be heard around the world.

Whit ..RnhEerX, q ats.

If, as claimed by the Democrats in
the late campaign, the protective
tariff defraudS the people OF the
United States Of 81, 900, 900, 600 every
year, how can they hesitate to stop
this robbery the very moment they
come into power next March. Ten
hundred millions annuallyiS is $S3, 000,-
900 every month, or about 50. 707, 900
day, or about $4,000 every hour,
day and night, awake or asleep, for
each day in the year. This
enormous robbery of the people"
amounts TO Sl6 year for
every man. woman, child and baby
in the United States. OF course,
the alleged robbery" is all hosh,
purely imaginary, a scarecrOw util-
lied for partisan purposes. The
money raised by customs duties gees
to meet the expenses OF the Federal
government, pay pensions, interest
on the public debt, and other neces-
sary expenditures for the public well
fare. The Democratic administra-
tiOn will have TO pay these eXpend-
itures the same as the Republican adj
ministration has paid them, and it
will have to raise the bulk of the
money by tariff on imports. In
deed, their very frso proposition is to
restore the tariff on sugar by which
they will 'rob the people" (to use their
own phraseolOgy) Of over $50, 900, 600
year.
But if il DC true, as they claim,
that the protective tariff is costing
the people $50, 600, 900 a month or
nearly S3, 600, 600 day, how can they
con .cientiously delay any longer than
absolutely necessary TO convene the
Fifty-third Congress in extra session
TO repeal this great burden upon the
people? If the Democrats are sim
cere and honest in their professions
they will call an extra session as
soon as possible after President Cleve-
land is inaugurated and "wipe out
the iniquity" which "defrailds the
people OF $1,000 900 annually.
The country will now see whether
the Democrats were sincere and
honest" in their profession and
VIII etner they have the boasted "cour-
age of their convictions"

WILL CAUSE HUBBUR.
Governor-Elect Lewclling In Favor of the
State Agency Plan

Stdtt agency
topeka, Kan, special: In an inter-
view in local paper Rev. j. ID. Botkin,
late Prohibition candidate for Governor,
said that Governor elecJ Lewelling was
n pronounced Prohibitionist and that he
would favor the State agency plan in
his forthc oming message. Botkin said:
Il ain in favor Of the State agency plan,
and recently had long talk with
Gov. Leweliing on this sub ect and
he Is heartily in favor of it also. He
said 10 me that he believed it would
forever settle the whisky question in
this State, as it would abolish the drug
store saloon and take the element of
profit out of the sale, so the jointists
would have to 90 out of business" The
announcement Of Governor Lewelling' s
views on this subject will cause great
hubbub among the resubmissionsts and
the liquor element generally, who sup
ported him. hoping that in return for
their votes Mr.. Lewelling would prove
lenient TO vioators OF the prohibitory
law, or even enc )urage its repeal.

As the Case stands.


The American people may rs well
begin TO reconcile themselves to the
ugly fact that the restoration OF the
Democratic party to power involves "A
strong probability, if notsan absolute
certainty, of increased taxation. AS
the case now stands, says the Globe
Democrat, the revenues OF the Govern
ment are barely sufficient to meet its
ordinary expenses; and any attempt
to lessen the burden of the tariff
must necessarily be attended by
danger of causing deficit. The only
feasible way OF carrying out the Chi
cagO promise OF tariff reform is 10
provide in the first place for levying
sufficient internal taxes to make up
for the loss from the removal or re-
ductiOn of duties on imports.
1t is all very well TO talk
about taking away the props that
sustain certain industries, or,
in other words, TO abolish the
advantage of projections but it is an
other and very different thing to tell
how this can be done without in
creasing rather than diminishing the
amount that the people have to pay
for the support of the Government.
The present tariff is tariff for revenue
only in the sense that it yields only
so much as is needed to meet current
demands and save the Treasury from
bankruptcy. If the Democrats pro-
pose to remove all protective duties,
then they must impose non-protect-
i've duties Of like degree, which will
be equally as hard TO pay, or they
must devise new forms Of taxation
bearing directly upon the business
and property OF the country.
This troublesome aspect Of what
was represented during the campaign
to be very simple matter has set
some of the Democratic statesmen TO
serious thinking; and their conclu.
sion seems to be that the duties must
be reimpOSed upon coffee and sugar,
or an income tax must be levied, or
money must be borrowed. Either Of
these three alternatives is open TO
the same general objection that is
urged against the present tariff law.
That is to say, any one Of them would
prolong the burdens Of the people,
and prevent the realization Of the
dream Of lower taxation upon which
Cleveland is supposed TO have been
elected. The situation is simple, and
the humbleSt citizen can readily
understand it. A certain sum of
money must be raised to defray the
expenses OF the Government - If
not in one way, then in some other
way. Under the existing ar
rangementS, this want is mainly
supplied by the receipts from customs
duties. Those duties cannot be abol-
ished unless means are provided for Sc
curing an equal amount from differ
ent source. In any event the people
will finally have to foot the bill. 1t
is difficult to understand, therefore,
how the relief SO loudly promised can
be furnished. We cannot get along
with any less revenue than is now
being collected: we are likely, on the
contrary, TO need more. The Gov
crnment cannot obtain money by any
magical or miraculous process. 1t is
dependent entirely upon the familiar
eXpedient of taxation, either direct
or indirect, and nothing is more GER
tain than that any scheme Of tariff
reform in the line Of the Chicago
platform must include some method
Of making good the loss by requiring
the people 70 pay 1T.
The true northerner., 1893-01-04
What the Next Congress Promises.

A poll Of the newly elected Demo
cratic House establishes beyond rea-
Sonable doubt several significant
facts. That body declares itself
unanimously in favor Of the repeal of
the Mckinley law, and by lesser ma
iOritieS for vigorous assault on our
industries, an extra session of Con-
greSs, the repeal Of the present silver
law and the substitution for it of a
free coinage act. On the part of the
Democratic Representatives there
is Il manifest desire to carry
out their party's programme
of destruction TO the letter.
and they are moreover anxious TO
undertake the work without delay.
If the Populists hold the balance OF
power in the Senate, there is not
likely TO be much opposition in that
body. AS for Mr.. Cleveland, he
would hardly dare to veto any tariff
bill, however radical, sent to him by
Congress, and judging from the re-
cent utterances of eX-Secretary Fair
child, the architect of his financial
views, he stands ready TO approve the
widest currency measures which the
fertile brains of the free coinage
Democrats and fiat money Populists
can devise. Free trade, free coinage
and wildcat currency are what the
majority voted for, and they will not
be disappointed.
