Both branches of the Legislature
worked nearly every day and night
during the closing week Of the session,
and 1t should be said to its credit that
1t passed some very good bills.
AS finally agreed on, the only change
made In the present Congressional dis

appeal from his decisions. II is true,
however, that an occasional protest
was fled by the Republicans, but this
was when the POpulist majority would
run the band.wsgon over them TO stop
their filibustering.
The county printer bill passed by the
House provides for the election of the
official county paper as other county
officers are elected. This takes away
from the Commissioners the principal
political job which they now have on
their hands, and ought to result In the
election of Commissioners because of
their ability to serve the taxpayers
rather than because Of their political
complexion.
Republican papers never have fin.
ished and 1t is likely that they never
will finish talking of the ignorance Of
people In general and Populists in par
tlcular. 1t is true, however, that the
first legislator of Kansas to try the
proxy idea in legislative work was a
Republican. Last week Gates (Rep.)
OF Jackson county was sick and sent q
friend up to the House to vote In his
stead on a measure which was to come
up. OF course the proxy was not al

The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

The committee Of the National G. A. r.

why Spain Has Failed in Cuba.

General Weyler should have subdued
the rebellion within ninety days. No
unprejudiced military authority who has
studied the two forces, and made due al
lowance for the advantages possessed by
those who fight upon their native soil,
will dissent from this proposition.
There are Spanish generals in Cuba who
admit its truth. There are others who
have returned disgueted to Spain be-
cause their suggestions of plans s.to end
the war were not allowed to be dis
closed at the Palace. A four months
stay in Cuba, beginning In January and
ending with April of this year, much OF
which time was passed in observing the
forces in the field, has resulted in the
conviction, on my part, that 1t has not
been the purpose of General Weyler to
end the rebellion. Conversations with
Spanish officers, from generals to cor
porals, showed that the same motives
that were evidently actuating the COM
mander IN allowing the war to drag
along were prompting large proportion
of the staff and line in carrying out the
policy of their superior. The recital oi
few experiences, the description oi
actual conditions, an explanation o.
methods employed, and an account o
the poor result achieved where success
was possible, will prove this indictment
IF it be admitted that General Weylel
has the slightest military ability, the
situation in Cuba today will convic
him.-Thos. Gold Alvord, Jr., in the
july Forum.

thus described by Sir Walter Scott IN a
letter to one of his friends:
1.-The champions duty was per-
formed, as of right, by young Dymol1e,
fine looking youth, but bearing per-
haps a little too much the appear
ance of a maiden knight to be the
challenger of the world in the kings
behalf. He threw down his gauntlet,
however, with becoming manhood, and
showed as much horsemanship as the
crowd of knights and squires around
him would permit to be exhibited. His
armor was in good taste, but his
shield was out of all propriety, being
ound rondache, or Highland target, a
defensive weapon which it would be
impossible to use on horseback, instead
of being a three-cornered or leather
shield, which in the time of the tilt
was suspended round the neck.
Pardon this antiquarian scruple,
which You may believe occurred to few
but myself. On the whole, this striking
part of the exhibition somewhat dis
appointed me, for 1 would have had
the champion less embarrassed by his
assistants and at liberty to put his
horse on the grand pas, and yet the
young lord of Scrivelsby looked and
behaved extremely WE'LL
The last time the ceremony of the
challenge was carried out was at the
coronation of George w, when
Henry Dymoze, the deputy of his
father, clergyman, threw down the
gauntlet in Westminster hall. This
Henry Dymoke. soon after Queen Vic
toria's accession, was created a knight
as recompense, it was said, for waiv-
ing his claims to discharge the duties
of his Office at the queens coronation.
Sir Henry was succeeded by his
brother, Rev. John Dymol1e, and ne by
his son, Henry Lionel Dymole, whom
Francis Seaman Dyrnolze, just de-
ceased, succeeded in 1875. The pres
ent champion is his only son, also
named Francis Seaman Dymol1e.

Coal Market Demoralized.

ST. LOUIS, July 3.-The St. Louis coal
market was never in a more demoralized
condition, and some of the operators
welcome strike. as a means of leading
up to adjustment of prices and placing
the market on better basis. The ST.
Louis market draws most of its bitumi-
nous coal from the Central and Southern
Illinois districts, and, despite the an
nouncement that the strike will go into
effect tomorrow, the operators do not
think their fields will be affected for two
weeks, and perhaps three.

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

tachian Tube. When this tube is in

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
