A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS.
In Warm Weather nothing $50 Dangerous as
Decayed Foods.

Everyone knows or ought to know that oe-
cayed foods are poisonous. Boards OF Heai'h
seek to prevent their sale.
Weuow have in mind the results when toi-
low the decay and decomposition OF tooas
sitter they have been eaten. for unless dlges-
ton occurs within a reasonable time after our
meals. decomposition sets in.
If6yspeptics will stop and consider for
moment some of the symptoms OF their
trouble, such as disagreeable breath, eructa-
lions of gas or bad taste in the mouth, they
will understand that they all must come from
decaying foods that ought properly to nave
been absorbed into the system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleepiess-
ness, dyspeptic headaches are but few OF the
effects following the absorption into the oiooo
OF poisons developed from decomposing ana
undipested food that lies in the stomach.
1t was recognition of this important fact

ton Of a remedy for dyspepsia, and nothing is
more efficient than the Digestive Cordlai
which they have recently placed on the mar
ket.
Its action is so prompt that relief frequent

Reoraanizinu the Senate.

The Manchester Union thinks that II
the idea of reorganizing the senate upon
non partisan basis prevails 1t Is said to be
more than likely that Secretary Cox, who
does not give satisfaction as reading
clerk will be retired and the place given
to Gen. Arson G. McCook who was his
predecessor. General MoCook IS said to
be anxious to return to Washington and
has refused several offers from Mayor
Strong to enter the public service of the
city of New York. In case of division
OF patronage the Democrats would be
only too glad to sacrifice Cox, as it Is ex-
pected he will be defeated In any event by
his party caucus. General McCook is a
fine elocutionist while 1t Is said that
when Cox reads message 1t has ten
dency to empty the house. The Republi-
can senators are understood to be favor
able to the retention of the Democratic
sergeant-at arms, Mr.. Bright. He will
have numerous strong friends in the
that no party has n majority and that the
Republicans do not really care for the re-
sponsibllity of control while Democratic
president / In power it Is more than like
ly that reorganization will take place
which will simply amount to redistri

DUELlNG THE VOGUE.
ALI Glasses In Continental Europe Taking
to the Field of Honor.

1t is curious feature of the age that
the practice of dueling, which has COM
pletely died out in this country, should
not only be still In vogue on the CONT
nent, but spreading with alarming rapid
ity from the army and nobility to all
classes Of the population. A peaceful citi-
zen who minds his own business in Aus
tria is now liable at any hour of the day or
the night to receive a formal challenge
from his bootmaker or his banker who
day or two later may assume for
this occasion only the character of his
butcher. In France, it is true, the affair
of honor" is seldom quite so dangerous
as the weekly trials of skill among Ger
man university students, known as linen
sur, which often lead to the loss of bit
of an ear or nose, always end in blood and
once in awhile eliminate in death.
In Italy, Austria Hungary and other
lands an encounter of this kind is much
more formidable matter. Thousands of
well meaning men and promising youths
arc yearly disabled, crippled or killed on
tho altar of "knightly honor" Every
man in those countries carries his life in
his hands, so to say, and journalism, pol
itics, the bar, the army and navy-in a
word, every walk of life except the church
arc closed to him who conscientiously
refuses to give or accept a challenge to
mortal combat on the slightest provoca-
ton, real or imaginary. Our foreign cor
respondents have morethan once described
sanguinary ducls In the army the princi-
pals of which-mere lads still in the mill
tary school-were bosom friends ignorant
of what they were fighting for. In ono
case two youths were playing in tho
schoolyard when an officer drew near and
asserted that one had touched tho other on
the check and thus insulted him.
The boys, who were in n better position
to know than spectator looking down
from two pair back window, denied tho
statement cmphatically, but tho officer
gave one of them his choice between call
ing ont his friend and being expelled from
the establishment. Tho meeting" took
place fow days later, and when 1t was
over one of tho two friends and comrades
had to be carried off to tho hospital dan
gerously wounded and disabled for life

The New City Building.

The unanimous action Of tho city gov
eminent, last evening, in passing the new
city building order over the mayors veto,
will insure prompt beginning upon the
work of construction. While the mayor
undoubtedly was sincere in his action,
the vote of last evening makes it evident
that his position was not sustained by the
public sentiment of the city
great Importance of such structure as
would provide the city with proper accom-
modations, and especially give to 1t a
proper hall for drill purposes and for large
mass meetings. Not only will the beauti-
full new hall to be erected at the east end
of the bridge afford all possible facili
ties the city needs in this direc-
ton, but 1t will be an ornament and q
credit to the community. We are aware
that some gentlemen have objected
to the location. But In building a
structure OF this character the wishes
and convenience of all the citizens must
be consulted We do not think that any
one will seriously urge that a building

central part of Water, streetsis. inconven-

people have labored under misapprehen-

poses of the company having In charge the
erection Of this building, the stock OF
which has been subscribed by we'll known
citizens whose devotion to the best inter.
ests of the community cannot be called In
question. AS will be seen by an article
published elsewhere In this issue, the city
will have the right to purchase the build

A Wicked Democratic Libel on the East Ten
nesseeans.
(Memphis Commercial Appeal

(Memphis Commercial Appeal.)
The fact that Editor Taton, reared
among the moonshine caves of East
Tennessee, does not himself believe in
witchcraft proves that ut least q certain
degree of culture and enlightenment is
possible even in that land of moral and
intellectual midnight; and that there are
considerable number of even highly in
telligent people there we freely admit
Nevertheless it is beyond question that
next to a revenue officer or a deputy sheriff
nothing Is so terrible to the average East
rennesseean as witch or q "hant." A
fairly accurate estimate of the number of
people In that section that are given over
to barbaric supersttions may be made by
a careful study of the election returns,
aud we regret to say that these are not as
encouraging rs they should be. In spite
of the work done by Democratic mission
aries the improvement is far short of the
results we were led to expect 1t has in
deed been claimed though on question
able authority, that oannibalism no
longer prevails among them, and that
human sirlOins have been permanently
erased from the East Tennessee bill OF
fare. We hope that this is true; but there
is no proof that idol worship has been
abandoned and q person wearing a
white shirt Is still regarded with supersti-
tious horror. The recent discovery that
Editor Rule keeps mud idol in his cav
ern and eats graveyard rabbits during the
dark of the moon, has been q severe shock
to those who hoped to see the early ex-
tinction of barbaric customs in that un-
lightened corner of the world So

which has been running since 1852. After
the clock had been in the house dozen
years or so, the striking apparatus got out
of order, and Mr.. Rawson was asked to
have 1t fixed, but he replied, No; that
clock has run so far without having any
thing done to it, and I'm going TO see how
long 1t will keep at it. So the clock has

from the time it was started in 1862 to the

a practical invention of this character.
The Governor and Council ON their
recent visit to the State Prison gave a
hearing to Graves who killed the game
warden. We have always felt that there
WAS another side to his case than that
presented by the prosecution. 1t seemed to
us at the time that the wardens were ex
ceediDgly arbitrary in their treatment of
him. His dog was one to which he was
deeply attached. 1t was almost mem
Der of his family. Harnessed to cart
with another dog 1t had hauled about his
son who was cripple 1t was a bird
dog, not deer dog. 1t has been shown
that Graves offered to return to the settle
ment with the wardens and prove by a
party of gentlemen whom they had passed
one their way to camp that the dog had
not been used in hunting deer. This
would certainly seem like reasonable
proposition. But the wardens were OBJ
stinate and would not listen to reason.
They were obstinate in their determina-
ton to kill the dog then and there. Down
in Washington county, among the people
who knew Graves best, there is much
sympathy expressed for him.
