THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.

The next Missouri legislature will be
composed of democratic senate and q
republican house. The personnel Of
these two bodies is up to past stand
ards. Some of the ablest men In the
state will be in the next Missouri legis-
%lature, and it is hoped that the two
houses, though differing in partisan
utilization, will not differ in state pride
and patriotism.
There are many matters Of supreme
Importance for this body Of lawmakers
to consider, and these questions, In the
main, do not psrtske of partisan issues.
The state legislature should revise
the election laws to some extent. The
manner of recording votes in the large
cities should be rigidly revised. All
publicity possible should be given the
registration lists prior to the election.
The present statu of affairs in Kansas
City surely brings out many weak
points in the law that should be
remedied.
The criminal laws should be revised
TO sush an extent that more speedy
trials be given, lessening the burden OF
costs and abolishing the Regarding
system. All officers should be paid a
stipulated salary, and no case should
be allowed to be continued from year
to year, oft times thwsrting justice and
piling upon the state msnstrous costs.
{. Missouri needs q new constitution.
The old one was good enough in 1875,
but not for 1895.
Missouri's University has needs that
must not be overlooked. This state
must have the finest university in the
land. 1t is able to support such, and
will never take her rank at the head OF
her sisters until she has it. The legis-
lature should provide generously for
this institution.
There are many minor wrongs the
legislature will be called upon to
remedy. These issues the lawmakers
must meet as patriots, not as ward
politicians. They must sslve them,
because the people demand it. Let
brains, not ~partisanship, figure ip the
solutions.

HARvAR RD STUDENTS DROWNED.

EAh - A - " c VI " 'ks c DAAo W " nDs Four of Them Went Out in Catboai on Sunday ana Failed to Return Two of the Bodies Have Been Re-
 covered.
 BOSTON. May 15.-Lsst Sunday after noon four young men, who prove to have been Harvard students, named John Far. mum Brown of Philadelphia, ". Campbell Truesdsll of Newark, N. J., Edwin Stanton Bach of New York city, and Franklin Whittall of Philadelphia, hired 6 catboat of Henry T. Hitchinss of City Point, South Boston, for an afternoons gail down the harbor. The boat and the men who hired 1t failed to return and MT. Hitchings this morning felt sure that his fears for their safety would be fully realized during the day.
 Later 1t was learned that Superintendent Bradley, of the Farm school, ct Thomp. sons Island, had picked up near the island @ pair of oars, 6 crotchet to a boom and two coats. In the pockets of the latter were found letters addressed respectively to Brown and Truesdell besides other papers.
 This afternoon a son of & boat owner found the boat capsizsd between Thomp- sons islsnd and what Is known as the Mid dls Shaft. In 1t were two bodies, one of which was entanglsd in the sail. which prevented its sinking, and the other grasp ing the gunwsle of the boat with both hands. The bodies were brought to the City hospital morgue by the hsrbor police, where they have been identified as those of Brown and Beach. The police are ssarch- ing for the bodies of Truesdell and Whit tsll, but thus far without succees.

Sheriff Buttling and several deputies quiet ly took up stand in the judges enclosure. They told the judges that they were under arrest. As soon as the rsos was won Judges Simmons. AcDowell and Smith were taken before Judge Watson, who was holding court in the Gravesend town hall. They were admitted to bail in $1 900 each.
 It is said that over sixty warrants have been issued and wholesale arrests will be made at once. It is the ultimate intention of De Lscy and his cohorts to seize the race horses as gambling paraphsrnalia. The race track people make light of the affair and say it will all end In smoke.

HAVE DECIDED TO REBUILD.

 Was the Work of an Incendiary.
 BROOKLYN, May 15.-The trustees of the Tabernacle to day definitely decided to re- build. Russell Sage, who has a mortgage of $125 ,000 on the old building, will make another loan, and the remainder of the $2S0. GOO necessary to erect new church will be raised by popular subscription. The new building will stand on the old site, and the trustees propose to use in its construction portions of the walls of the burned building.
 The belief that the Tabernacle fire was the work of sn ineendisry is gaining ground rapidly among those who are in, vestigsting the matter. A clue upon which the police are working was given them this morning. It is the statement of Merwin Cogan of Orange, N. J, who was at the Tabernacle Sunday, that he saw 6 man in the organ loft during the service. Sexton Day and his assistant have declared posi- lively that neither of them was in the loft at the time specified, and no one else had the right to be there.

 Skin diseases are most obstinate to
 cure or even relieve. It IS an easy matter to claim to cure
 them, but quite another thing to
 do so. CUTlCURA REMEDIES Have earned the right to be called
 Skin Specifies, Because for years they have met
 with most remarkable success. There are cases that they cannot cure,
 but they are lew indeed. It is no long-drawn-out, expensive experiment. 25c. invested in a cake of CUTlCURA SOAP Will prove more convincing than a page of advertisement. In short CUTICURA works wonders, And its cures are simply marvellous.

 With Desiriog to Kiln the Tnrin BilI
 by Procrastinatiou, but it is Denied
 by Senator Aldrich.
 WASHINGTON. May 15 Daring the dis eussion of the tariff bill MT. Vest said that 1t was very evident that 1t was the inten- ton of the republican side of the chamber to kill the bill by delay. (Criss of "oh, mol" from republican senators)
 "rhey say 'Oh, no,'" Mir. Vest went on, "but their acts belle their words. They spend day after day discussing fnsectivor- ous' matters. They want to Kill the bill by procrastination. We on this eide have got but one thing to do, and we intend to do 1t without waiting or hesitation. We intend to pass the bill If 1t takes us until the snow flies next winter. And we will leave to the senators on the other side the task of defeating 1t by flibustering. But we are no going into the field of copjec ture to help them"
 Mr. Aldrioh expressed surprise at Mr. Vests speech and said: "rhere is no dis position, there has not besn and there will not be on this eide of the chamber, to do anything with this bill except to discuss 1t fairly and properly. There will be no flibustering and no attempt at flibuster- ing on the part of the opponents of the measure"
 IN THE HOUSE. The naval appropriation bill was report ed in the house with the amendments, which added $55 ,0O0 to the total of the bill as reported by the committee. These were agreed to and the bill passed. Five minutes later the house again went into committee of the whole on the agri- | cultural appropriation bill for the year ending June 30, 1895.
