ZIER1S QUEER ELL.

Probably because they have con-
Sidered it a joke rather than Serl-
Gus legislative proposition, the news
papers of the state have dealt lightly
with the Zier patent medicine bill.
Were it deemed possible that this
bill could be passed, the protests
from the, merchants and newspaper
men of the state would fill the capt.
toll. There is only one argument for
the bill-that under the proprietary
seal some harmful drugs are sold
while there are a thousand against
it. Primarily, the question arises as
to the right of a state to prohibit the
sale of an article manufactured I'M
der a right given by the national
government
But it is the question of utility
which will appeal most strongly to
the average citizen of Minnesota.
In the smaller country towns, the
villages and at the crossroads stores
the staple article of sale is the stand
ard proprietary medicine, and there
are hundreds of families which use
no other kind of medicine, except in
the most extreme cases.
There may be, and doubtless are,
proprietary medicines which contain
harmful ingredients, just as there
are physicians who administer harm
full drugs for the purpose of secur-
ing temporary beneficial results, but
TO attempt to legislate all patent
medicines out of the state in order to
exclude few which are worthless is
manifestly absurd.
In the country districts it is not
only very expensive, but often very
incOnvenient and sometimes impOS-
sible to secure the attendance of a
physician, and many of the milder
forms Of disease which give way
under the effect of standard patent
medicines might develop into some
thing worse before a doctor could be
secured.
Evil effects may sometimes follow
the giving of patent medicines, but
such cases are rare-mOre rare in
deed than those wherein druggists
make fatal errors in Interpreting
the hieroglyphics of physicians pre-
Scriptions.
1t is not at all probable that the
bill will be passed, but it should be
defeated by such a vote that future
legislatures may be afforded a guild
ing precedent for disposing of all
bills introduced for the benefit of
any profession or calling.

The secretary, in the course of his
answer, says that the original reserve,
augmented by the gold proceeds of the
sale Of bonds, was diminished during
the period of twenty-five months to
the extent of SIP, ST., 315, of which $780,

voted to current expenses, and $751;

tion," says the secretary, that when
United States notes or treasury notes
of 1890 were redeemed in gold they
were received into and held as part Of
the general cash assets in the treas
ury the same as any other money be-
longing to the government, and under
the acts of May 81, 1873, and July a.,
1890, they are paid out when necessary
to defray the public expenses. When
ever it has been possible to do so, the
redeemed notes have been used to pro-
cure gold coin by exchanging With
banks and other financial institutions,
and in this way large amount of gold
was restored to the gold reserve fund
during the summer of 1893, and some
since that time

assets in the treasury in excess of GER

URPRISES SALTWATER.

The appointment tke Result of
Troubles in the Pos4oGicq.
Special to the Globe.
SALTWATER Feb. 1.-THE an
nouncement that Postmaster John
Booren had been removed and that
Mrs. Christine Carroll had been ap-
pointed in his stead was received here
with no little surprise yesterday, and
many refused to believe that the re-
port was true. 1t was generally con-
coded that Mr.. Booren would serve
out his term, but the recent trouble at
the Office in which ex-Assistant POST
master Kennedy figured evidently
prompted Mr.. Booren's removal. Mrs.
Carroll, the appointee, is the widow
of Rev. Joseph II. Carroll, and her pc
tition for the appointment was signed
by a very large number of residents
of this city irrespective of party.
Among the other candidates in the
field for the office We're John +. Burke.
j. a. O'Shaughnessy and F. c. Neu-
meier. Many opinions were expressed
relative to the appointment yester-
day, and many of the leading Demo-
Gratis say that man should have been
appointed.

DAVIS AND KIEFER OPPOSE,

Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
president has sent to the senate the
nomination of Christine Carroll, to
be postmistress at Saltwater. Col.
Kiefer has taken up the cause of
John BoOren, the deposed postmas-
ter. The gallant colonel knows
nothing of Mrs. Christine Carroll,
the lady appointed to succeed
Booren, nor of the charges that have
brought about the removal of the
latter, and today when he heard
that Mrs. CarrOll's name had been
sent to the senate he rushed wildly
over to the senate end of the capitol
and called out Senator Davis. and
secured a promise from him that the
nomination will be held up until he
can hear from the friends of
Booren. This appointment came in
the nature of surprise. The two
leading candidates until recently
were John Mccarthy, the old post
master, and John O'Shaughnessy.
National Committeeman Doran de-
cided to settle the matter by taking
up Mrs. Carroll. BOoren's admins
tration has been satisfactory to
the department for 6. lC1g time. The

INCOME TAX CASE ARGUED.
Court Of Appeals Reserves Its
Decision,

Court of Appeals Reserves Its
Decision.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE case
of John G. Moore, the New York broker
who instituted suit against the commits
sioner of internal revenue to test the
constitutionaIity of the income tax
law, came UP upon an appeal before
the district court of appeals today.
The points discussed in the hearing
were mainly reiterations Of those raised
in the equity court several weeks ago.
The lower court had erred, it was
claimed, in holding that the act! impos-
ing the tax was constitutional; that
the double taxation, as in the case of
the complainant, was lawful, and the
income tax was an indirect tax, though
not apportioned among the states, as
provided by the constitution. FIX
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, made
the argument for Mr.. Moore. He
sought to show that the tax was a di
rect one, and even if it were an indirect
tax it was not levied conStitutionally,
in that il makes an arbitrary distinC-
ton between classes of individuals, and
therefore lacks uniformity He also
upheld the legal right of the petitioner
to bring the suit in its present form.
Assistant Attorney General Whitney
who followed, held that there was no
ground for the equitable proceedings
in the case, and reiterated his former
contentious as to the constitutionality
Of the tax. He wanted, he said, to cor
rect a general mistaken impression
about the tax. The $4,000 limitation, he
declared, does not apply to corpora
lions, and the tax applies to their net
profits, not to the dividends.
Mr. Edmunds made a short closing
argument, and the court took the case
under Amusement.

BEN CLAY KNOCKED OUT.
Henry Jackson Defeats Him in
an Interesting Debate.

An interesting debate between Henry
Jackson and Ben Clay took place just
across the line in Hennepin county last
night, which resulted in a victory for
the former in the twenty-third section.
The arguments were very pointed, and
personal friendship was evidently at a
discount throughout the contest. Both
speakers expressed themselves in the
most emphatic manner, and the reason
ing was extremely logical. There was
a large audience of men whose minds
have been more or less absorbed by a
study of the question under considera-
ton, and all greatly enjoyed the con-
test The more excited the debaters
became and the harder they hit each
other, as a matter of course, the more
tickled was the audience. The debate
was conducted under strict rules and
was divided into sections according to
time.

WHAT A BABY LOOKS LIKE.
Its Fancied Resemblance to Fa-
Their Or Mother Imaginary,

Their or Mother Imaginary,
Nothing is more remarkable than a
comparison of the same-sized profile
views of the same person at six and
thirty years of age. The growth of the
nose and the development of the fore
head are so great that the jaws aD-
pear to have diminished in size-and
this is really what the jaws have done,
in proportion to the whole face.
1t is fond delusion with visitors and
nurses that the baby is just like it's
father or mother. No one who has had
that scientific training necessary to
proper observation could make such a
statement. 1t is q gross libel some
times on the baby, sometimes on the
parents. Properly-taken photographs
show that the proportions of nearly
every feature in the face of a baby
and an adult are entirely different, but
the greatest difference exists in the
size and shape of the nose, and the
size of the jaws. If when adults we
had features like our babies we should
have countenance of a negroid type.
Unless positive evidence be available
it would hardly be credible that the
small-jaWed, long and prominent-nosed
individual with high forehead was in
babyhood prOgnathOuS, short and Snub-
nosed, with a remarkably receding
forehead. The difference resulting from
the change during life, as shown by
two photographs reduced to the same
size, not the same proportion, is
greater than the difference between
many species. Yet the very fact of
such metabolism and the possibility of
its earlier transmission from genera
ton to generation NAV be the basis of
specific mutation, without calling in
the aid of natural or sexual or physio-
logical selection to account for that
phenomenon.
The prognathism of a child is less
noticeable than it should be, because
such prognathism, owing to the dis
position of weight, alters the whole
carriage of the head, and the difference
in the method of carrying the head OBJ
scures the prognathism to a certain
extent.

ADAMS CHARGED BRIBER
Further Sensational Indie tinents
Against EIcBride.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. IA sensa>
ton was sprung today in the meeting
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. Mark Wild, district organizer of
the American Railway union under
Mr. Debs, being granted the floor,
stated that when the A. r. U. last
summer was attempting to stop the
running of trains on the Hooking VAL
ley road, John Mcbride, at that time
president of the United Mine Workers,
gave him 5000 to induce a settlement of
the strike by the railroad men on that
road. Mr.. Mcbride was not present
when this statement was made, but
upon coming into the convention said
he did give Wild the money as char
liable donation from some of the coal
operato tors, the strike on the road hav>
ing been previously overcome by the
railroad company. Mr.. Mcbride said.
''None of the money came from the
railroad company"
A committee was appointed by the
miners convention to investigate and
report upon the subject in controversy
between Wild and Mcbride.
Later-Adams' charge against the
national mine officials was not sus-
tanned. Vote 1G6 to Il. Fifteen did not
vote.

The Oshkosh Northwestern has
this to say, which might well be
addressed to the Minnesota legis-
lature:
A principle is at stake. If the legis>
lature can regulate the size of your
hat, it can regulate the size of your
shoe. If it dictates what you shall
wear or eat or drink, it may dictate
what you shall think and believe and
what church you must attend 1t
is dangerous to open the doors to this
species of paternalism. 1t is only when
the existence and the preservation OF
the state is concerned, and the inter-
ference with public rights and the
rights of others, that the state is at all
warranted in limiting the selection of
the individual. If the present tend
ency keeps on much further we will
soon be asked to go to bed and get up
by legal regulation, and vespers will
have as high standing in courts as
it now has in sentiment and poetry.
