WORK.

The interest oil the legislature centers
very largely at present around the rail-
road bill. 1t is a very long bill, quite
stringent, being drawn closely after tie
Iowa law, thus giving almost absolute
control to the railroad commissioners OF
the state to regulate the time aud tariu
schedules. In a new state this Is felt TO
be too radical an innovation z IL ID
very doubtful the bill WI be enacted IN
to law. The query is too often asked
s'are we ready for Iowa Legislation Oh
this subject? But the question seems
to imply a negative answer. A few re-
strlctions as to passenger and freight
rates will be all that may now be Ok
pected of this Legislature.
A bill, which ough: not to be neces-
sary or even 'hought Of except for the
parsimony or shortsightedness OF many
Dakota officials, has been introduced In
both houses requiring all state, county,
municipal, township and school officers
TO secure their printing and record
books within the limits OF this state.
Home industry Is the keynote of this
bill, a fact which too many officials over
look. The bill will no dou"t become a
law.
A bill requiring all bank officials an
nually to make to the assessor a report
as to the amount Of the banks capital
stock for assessment and taxation, no
matter where the owner may live, has
also been introduced. The assessed
value of the banks real estate is to be
deducted from tine capital stock, which
otherwise is to be taxed as all Other
property is taxed. The bill carries ade'
quate penalties to tit the case.
Another bill provides that criminals
sentenced to the penitentiary shall bs
taken there by deputy wardens o
guards instead OF by the sheritfs OF The
counties, thus "depriving the latter o
n of their latest picklugs, but saving
it is said, thousands Of dollars annual.

The third republic of France dates
from Sept. A, 1870, Immediately after
the downfall of Napoleon III, at the
close Of his disastrous war with Ger
many. Louis Adolphe Theirs was elect
ed president Aug. 81, 1871, served as
chief executive but two years, three
months and seven days and resigned
MAY "a, 1879. Previous to his election
he had been known as a constitutional
monarchist and an advocate OF the pre-
tensions of the house of Orleans, and
when i'm 1879 he declared himself in
favor of the republic as the form of gov
eminent acceptable TO the majority OF
the people the monarchial parties com
bined against him, and under pressure
of an adverse vote of the assembly he
resigned,
On May "a, 1873. Marie EdIne Pm
trice Maurice MacMahon, marshal Of
France under Napoleon III, was chosen
president through the influence Of the
mtonarchists and held his post five years.
eight months and six days. MacMahon
was inclined to Bonapartism and hated
radicalism. 1t was not long before bis
only supporters were the monarchists
and clericals. and his dismissal of Pre-
mier Jules Simon and the enmity OF
the mighty Gambetta fastened his
downfall. Gambetta declared in a
speech that MacMahon must quit or
submit and ON Jan. 80, 1879, rather
than sign o bill forcing into retirement
some of his old comrades, she president
stepped down.
Francois p. Jules Grevy was elected
president Jan. SO, 1879, and was re-
elected in 1885 and remained in power
seven years, ten months and three days.
The discovery that his son-in-law, u.
Wilson, and the police had suppressed
and falsitied judicial evidence and
Crews support Oh this corruption, led
to an overwhelming popular demand for
his resignation. Grevy, however. chung
to the presidency like a leech. Several
times he announced his resignation. but
the document invariably had a meta
phoricaI string tied to it and was pulled
back. Finally the chamber and senate
by joint resolution practically summon
cd Grevy TO resign, and he did 50 Dec.
3, 1887, with great reluctanae.
The following day Marie Francois
Sadi Carnot was chosen Il succeed him.

The United States has Ind 90 presi-
dents, none of whom resigned. France
has had six, all of whom resigned ex-
Cept one, who was assassinated. There
are several reasons for this difference Of
procedure. One is that the seven years
term of the French president gives him
more time to become unpopular than the
four years term of the president Of the
United States. The main reason, how
ever, is to be found In the constitution
of each country. In France the president
is the creature Of the Legislative branch
of the government. He is elected by the
senate and chamber, the life Of his cabi-
net depends upon the favor OF these
bodies. and Ii he incurs their iii will
and desires to appeal TO the country for
vindication he can only do so with the
consent Of the senate. liz the senate is
against him, he must resign. In the
United States the president il elected by
the people, instead OF the legislative
body, congress has little control over
him, his veto practically allows him to
| dictate what congress shall do In the
way OF legislation, and resigning is
about the last act he ever c~ontemplates

Anti-toxine which is now the great
cure for diphtheria is produced as fol
lows aud used by innoculation as in vac
~cination for small pox: @Toxine Is the
poison produced in the blood by the
bacill OF d%iphtheria, the poison in which.
disease aud death are due. II the
baeilli are placed in broth under certain
conditions, they multiply marvelously.
and the broth is impregnated with this
same toxine poison. Strain the broth
and use the toxine to innoculate man or
beast and disease will follow. II the
toxine is reduced in strength, the dis
ease is mild. In practice, a horse is in
noculated first with a small, weak guam
tity OF toxine, then with a stronger dose,
and 80 on. 1t is found that the horse
becomes less Sand less subject to the
posion and at last is totally unaffected
by the strongest dose-Is immune, as it
Is called. Now, il the horse IN it's inn
mune state is bled, it is found that the
serum Tor clear liquid part) OF the blood

toxine; in other words an '~'anti-toxine."
It is this that Is used for the %innocula
ton of the diphtheria patient. 1t seems
we'll established that, except in late
stages OF the disease It's progress is al
most certainly arrested. What a scourge
diphtheria is may be judged from the
fact that there have been over one
hundred thousand cases in New York
city alone since 1871, of which over a
third proved fatal.

The Letter Demanding 1t Carried to Hong
Kong.

The Letter Demanding It Carried to Hong
Kong.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Haweiisn
advices received to day from Honolulu,
dated May Q, by steamer Mariposa, are
as follows: The letter demanding the
recall of Minister Thurston Is here and
was read to the executive session OF the
councils yesterday afternoon. This
letter had been to Hong Kong, through
fault of the postoff1ce at San Francisco
The ground OF objection to Thurston Is
that he showed to reporters private
letters to himself, from Honolulu, init
mating that Cleveland and Gresham
were largely responsible for the January
uprising here.
Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian min
lister about the matter. Thurston said
that he regretted It very much. that In
the hurry of handling big mail he had
shown this letter without any special
intent. He apologized, and Secretary
Gresham thereupon asked that the
apology be submitted in writing.
Thurston declined to do this.
II is definitely settled that Thurston
will not return to- Washington. He has
resigned his Office, his resignation to
take effect when his successor has been
appointed. Extremists here urge that
he be sent back at once in order to face
Gresham again. The friends of Thurs.
ton are indignant, because they say no
has been betrayed.
