Spring Meeting to Begin T~hursday-
500 u in Prizes.

CINCINNATI. May 2O.-The Latonia
Z Jockey Club opens its spring meeting Of
twenty-six days here next Thursday. The
track has been put in shape for the meet
ing and is faster than ever before. The
meeting promises TO be a most successful
one. All the stables are engaged and up
wards of eight hundred horses will be in
and about the grounds when the flag falls.
The club offers $780, 900 in prizes to be con-
tested for at the meeting. There are four
teen stake races scheduled having added
money from $1,000 to 5000 each. The Derby
which will be run on the opening day, will
be the most valuable ever offered. The
winner will receive between 5000 and &c.
900 as his share. Seventeen horses are en-
tered for this race. but most of them are
now running at Louisville. The number of
horses on the grounds is comparatively
small, only about two hundred having yet
arrived, among them Faraday. who got in
to-day. In view of the average attendance
at Latonia the number of bookmakers ex-
pected Is entirely too small and a very
profitable field is open for several more OF

Value of Salt.
Hartford Courant.

These notes are greatly taken with the
value and absolute necessity Of salt. The
Cleaners horses always have a big lump
in their manger-that is, 1T is big when
placed there, but it invariably and rapidly
grows smaller: the heifer has a lump in
her grain ration; twice a week or oftener
the hens have a little mixed in their food.
It's the incest kind of a plan to have a
ture. and be sure you'll always find a we'll
trodden path leading up to it when once
the cattle know where to find ii. A horse
will almost invariably lick the lump as
soon as turned into the stall after a drive.
1t may be a cranky notion to gargle salt
water in ones mouth occasionally in the
into the throat. but Ii is a very simple plan
for cleansing the mouth and throat; and a
uncomfortable feeling that sometimes clings
to overworked eyes.

A Proposed Coxeyite Party.

DIES MONIES Ia, May pa scheme is
on foot to perpetuate the commonweal
movement. A meeting of the leaders will
be held in Des Moines to form a national
association. The Olney brothers and others
in charge of the local end of the movement
met this evening at a meeting in Trades
Assembly Hall and many laboring men
signed an agreement to join the contem-
plated association. The Olney brothers say
there are already local associations in San
Francisco, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake City,
Ogden. Minneapolis, Chicago, st. Paul,
Cleveland, Columbus, and, in fact, many
of the large cities of the country. They
say the order. which is to be of a political
nature. will be as rapid in its growth as
the A. p. A., but unlike that order will
nave nothing to do with religious subjects.
1t will invite the laboring and poorer classes
TO gather and force Congress and State
Within two or three days a call will be
issued for a national convention. 1t is re-
ported that General Weaver is to be con-
nected with the movement.

The Self-made men in the House are quiet

has occasionally animadverted scornfully on
the orthoepy of the House for his own par
ticular edification. half a dozen members,

fled back into the chamber with looks of

episode which occurred in a little country

in that region does almost more harm than
good, as il gives the rough citizens an ex-
cuse TO assemble. and end with a free ngha.

when one of the local desperadoes walked

Methodfst Church representation.

Hon. VIII Cumback, in Western Christian
Advocate.
i learn with great regret that equal lay
representation in the General Conference
has been defeated by the preachers in the
annual conferences that have been held.
The position of the church on this ques-
ton is indefensible. A few thousand
preachers. happening to have the power in
their hands deny ar equal voice in the
church congress with the two million lay
men on whom the entire support of the
church depends. 1t is a position entirely
out OF line with the American idea of civil
and religious liberty. 1t is taxation with
out fair and equal representation If per-
sisted in. il will demoraliZe and disinte-
CRATE the Methodist Church. The de-
mand for fair play is a controlling element
In the purpose OF the average American.
AS a consequence the gerrymander in pol
itics Is being regarded with contempt by
all parties. and the courts are setting
aside all such vicious legislation. The
great body OF laymen viii not much
longer submit 10 Acknowledgement in the
General Conference. The bishops and
preachers are appointed 10 serve and not
10 rule the church.

OBITUARY.
Edmund HOdEsOn Yates, the Well
Known Writer and Editor.


LONDON, May 2O.-Edmund Hodgson
Yates, editor and proprietor of the World,
died to-day. His death was quite sudden.
He attended the Garrick Theater last even
ing, that being his first appearance at a
place of public amusement since his pro-
longed illness. While in the theater he had
a fit, and was removed as speedily as pos
sible to his residence. The physicians who
were summoned TO attend him had but little
hope Of his recovery, and at 4 o'clock this
morning the end came.
Mr.. Yates was the son of the well-known
actor, and was for some years chief OF the
missing letter department in the postoffice.
He was a theatrical critic on the Daily
News for six years. and was himself the
author of several dramas. In Iay, 1872, Mr..
Yates retired from the postofice in order
to devote himself exclusively TO literature.
In the course of that year he went on a
l~ecturing tour in the United States, and in
May, 1873, he was appointed London repre-
sentative of the New York Herald, which
post he resigned in July, 1874. when he es-
tablished the World. Mr.. Yates was. in 1884.
indicted for having published in his paper
a libel on the Earl of Lonsdale. for which.
as editor. he was responsible. He was SEN
fenced to four months Imprisonment, but
was released before two months had eX-
pired. he was the author of many novels.
