Push THIS Along.

A gentleman connected with the drug
trade in Saltwater desires to submit
the following suggestions with refer
ence to DR.. Tiers proposed act to wipe
out the traffic in proprietary medi-
cines:
If, as DIR. Zier states in defense of
the patent medicine BILL antipyrine,
anti-toxine and sulphonal are recog
nized official preparations, and tie
profession "knows how and where
they are prepared as well as their
therapeutic value" will he kindly give
the composition of and define anti
kamnia, white pine eXpectorant, phos-
pho-albumen, aS-par-o-line, phytol1ne,
analgesin antipyralgos, analgia, an
dunea. and fifty others used in daily
practice, as [ am certain the long
suffering public would like to know
the formulas. This knowledge would
enable a patient to call in a physician
who can write prescription without
the aid of the patent medicine manu-
facturer. Will the doctor also inform
the public why some physicians use
tablets of say, mercury proto sodide
done up in four or five different colors,
and each time the patient calls upon
him he is presented (for one or more
dollars as the case may be- with
small bottle of tablets, color changed,
and is led to believe that the change
of color indicates a change of medi-
cine. Another thing the long-suffer-
ing public would like to know is. what
will the physician who is unable to
write a prescription without the aid
of the patent medicine manufacturer
do if the Tier bill becomes a law?

INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS.
LOndoners Want the Contest in
the Middle of September.

LONDON. Feb. 18Th. K. Holman,
the honorary secretary of the London
Athletic club, has sent a response to
the letter written to him on the 18th
of January by John G. Gulick, secre-
tary of the New York Athletic club, in
regard to the contemplated contest in
New York between representatives of
the New York and London Athletic
clubs. Mr.. Holman's letter. which is
dated Feb. 8, agrees upon Sept. 81 the
date fixed by the New York Athletic
club for the contest. But Mr.. Holman
suggests that if it should be found nee
essary an arrangement may be made
by which the date could be changed to
either week earlier or week later.
He agrees that a 220-yard fiat race be
added to the programme, and proposes
to leave the long-distance race, three
miles, out. Mr.. Holmans letter says
that the team that will be sent to
America will probably be composed of
c. A. Bradley, c. 3. Frye, G. Shaw, r.
Downer, w. M. Barry, e. G. Bredin,
w. E. Lutiens, F. S. Koran, A. r. Will
Jams and A. Ovendon. Mr.. Holman
says further:
stall argument on the subject that
Bradley, although a duly elected men,
Der of the London Athletic club, has
but recently Joined it, and has done so,
believe, expressly for the purpose of
taking part in this competition. Frye
was nominated for election but month
ago, and he and Downer were elected
members at a committee meeting held
last Wednesday evening. The whole
team will thus be composed of fully
qualified paying members of the club,
but 1 think it is only right that you
should be acquainted with it,
The letter then proceeds to say the
honorary secretary will accompany the
team. He will be vested with full
power to alter or annul present ar
engagements, or to enter into new ones.
In regard to the question Of the ex-
penses of the contest Mr.. Holman &C
cepts the offer of the New York Ath-
.letic club to pay the expenses of a
team, and substitutes, not to exceed
fifteen in number, from London to New

Nelson as a low-tariff man, and assert
ed that he voted for the Mills bill in
1888, has corrected its misstatement,
and declaring on its own part that
Mr.. Nelson never voted for the Mills
bill, but only in favor of giving it an
opportunity to be discussed The
Press says that these things have been
pointed out again and again to the
Democratic and Mugwump newspa-
pers, but they go on maliciously ig
noring them. Now there is only one
way of deciding question of fact, like
the question whether or not member
of congress voted for the passage of a
bill. That is to refer to the Congress
ional Record for the day the vote was
taken. If the Press will refer to its
file of the Record it will find that the
Mills bill came to vote on the Dist of
July, 1888, and that Mr.. Nelson, then
representative, is recorded among the
yeas. No editor with a memory ought
to need a reference to the Record.
The holiness of Mr.. Nelson in voting
against his party on the question of
passing a free trade bill made a great
sensation

When Senator Thorpe's bill to remove
screens from saloons was under con-
sideration Senator Pottgieser made
sensible speech in opposition to the
bill, and moved it's indefinite postpone
ment. He said he was disposed to be
reasonable in considering proposed
laws, and in that spirit he wanted to
say that he could not see why saloons
should be prohibited from using blinds.
or screens. He thought it not best to,
open the doors and windows to the
view of people on the outside unless 1t
was the wish of the saloonkeeper.
Senator Stevens said that he had a
great respect for measures that came
from the old Bay state, but could not;
forget that they once burned witches
there. He believed in Secluding Such
places as saloons, even to surrounding
them with trees and walls. He couldi
see no reason why saloons should not
be permitted to exclude the saloon pro-
ceedings within from the gaze Of school
children. The bill also showed disre-
spect to Divine Providence in prohibit
ing frosting of windows, as it is we'll
known that for several months in the
year the windows are frosted by ma
ture.
Senator Iltis spoke in opposition to
the bill, and said he could not see why
some people should be continually pick
ing at saloons. The bill was indefinitely
postponed.
