JUDGE Thompson of the district
court at Cedar Rapids, Ia, handed
down an opinion In the district court
one afternoon in a contested school
election case, holding that the Iowa
law granting women the right to vote
on school and municipal elections on
tax leyies is unconstitutional, on the
ground that the constitution Of the
state provides that only male citizens
NAV vote. An attorney friend tells us
that the constitution Of the state of
Kansas is IN the same fix, bat the
Kansas men are more gallant than
are those of Iowa.

habit of laughing at Kansas during
the last two years and 1t is hard for it
to STOP The newspapers were get
ting ready to have fun with US if we
had I assed the bill requiring counties
to give drunkards the Kelley cure,
but the measure was killed. Wiscon

nobody thought there was anything
funny about lt.-Cdpitdl.
Cause why? Wisconsin does not
pretend to be prohibition state,
while Kansas does.

A CURIOUS CALCULATION.
Around the World 2oe Times.

An eminent physician has made curious
mathematical calculation in giving the
workings of the human heart in mileage.
He shows that in lifetime of "a years
the blood as it passes through the heart is
thrown distance of 5,l5O,SSO miles, which,
in a continuous stream, would reach around
the world 206 times
Keeping in view this constant strain on
the heart, and taking into consideration the
abuse it receives from over.exertion, alco-
holc and other stimulants, is it any wonder
that it finally becomes affected refuses to
perform its work, and causes death? The
fact can be readily understood that one in
four has weak heart, also the Importance OF
treating that organ as soon as its affected con-
dition is in the slightest degree manifested.
Reader, if you have any reason whatever
for believing your heart to be affected, you
should attend to it at once. Do not hest
tate Many persons who die suddenly of this
disorder have never suspected its presence.

The Next Campaign.

From present indications it looks
as though the democratic party would
come out boldly in the next campaign
for free coinage of silver This
would force their old time enemy the
republican party either to adopt a
meaningless platform upon this ques-
ton, Or to favor a single gold stand
ard If this be true all gold demo-
Gratis would vote the republican ticket,
the silver republicans would be home
less. Let then the populist party
nominate a good clean man for presl-
dent, take up the transportation and
free silver issues, drop one or two
blanks now obsolete, and the great
West and South will rally under that
banner and sweep the country Really
though there is no difference between
the two old parties upon finance, as
the votes in congress will show
Platforms are nothing, it is legisla-
tive acts that count.

people are not 80 ignorant or credu-
lous as he seems to suppose.
When President Harrison was ln-
augurated it ls well known that bust
ness was prosperous, industrial enter
prises active, the revenues redundant
and the Treasury surplus 80 large as
to compel the efforts Of the statesman
ship of the country to the considera.
ton Of plans to remedy what had
grown TO seem an evil. When the
Mckinley law was enacted the obi
cations Of the Treasury were all dis
charged, and there was a surplus Of
$l00,O0O,000 in the Treasury. Every
manufacturing enterprise in the
country was in operation and pros
perity prevailed from one end of the
country to anothe. But the McKin-
ley law changed all this. 1t added
to the burdens of the people, but re-
duced the revenues Of the country.
In less than two years the surplus
was dissipated, the Treasury was
bankrupt and Secretary Foster began
preparations for the issue of bonds to
meet the current expenses, THIS
fact is proved by the following order
to the chief Of the Bureau of Engrav.
ing and Printing, now on file in the
Office Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury;
To the Chief of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing.
Treasury Department, Office of the
Secretary, Washington, D. O, Feb,
20, 1893 Sir: You are hereby au-
thorized and directed to prepare de-
signs for the 3 per cent bonds provid-
ed in the Senate amendment to the
sundry civil bill, now pending.
The denominations which should
first receive attention are $l00s ST.
COOS and $l0,000s of the register
bonds
This authority is given in advance
of the enactment IN view of pressing
contingencies, and you are directed
to hasten the preparation of the de-
signes and plates in every possible
manner,
l inclose a memorandum for yoar
guidance in preparing the script for
the body of the bonds, Respectfully
yours,
CHARLES FOSTER, Sec'y.
The industrial stagnation set in as
early as the spring of 1892, year be-
fore the expiration of President Har
rson's term of Office, and eliminated
in July of that year with the strike
at Homestead, as the result of which
tariff pampered monopoly employed
mercenaries to shoot down working
men for daring to resist expressions.
The distress continued until after the
odious Mckinley law was repealed,
and since that prosperity has been
forcing its way in the face of such re-
sistance as the calamity howlers
could lnterpose. But the tide has
now completely turned. and the hum
of industry is making music in all
parts of this great country. Prices
are advancing, prosperity is here and
happiness will be the harvest of the
people.

What makes 1-.;.T;;r.s falls power pos sible is the f,,ct that L;,lio Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake ITuron and Lalzo Erie, with a comb.ned area of 90, 1000 square miles, repre-. cnt ng the reservoirs of some 250, ,O0O square m les of water shed, are situated 600 feet above the sea level. The great volume of water fall ing over the vast territory flows on it's natural course to the Atlantic ocean with but slight descent, until it is brought into the narrow Niagara river, when, in the rapids just above the falls, it declines 55 feet and then, with sin gle plunge, drops into the abyss, 165 feet below. Eminent engineers have com puted that 275, 1000 cubic feet of water pass over the falls every second, repre- senting in theoretical energy over 6, ,OOO,- 900 horsepower. .-Cassier' Magazine.
