MBDDLING GRAND JURIEs.

1t has been quite common for
Bexar grand juries to go about
poking their noses into things that
don't concern them. A recent in
stance was illustrated in the grand
jury that employed some experts 10

Grand juries are too apt to consti-
tute themselves into a general COM

work up cases, when in fact their
only business is to investigate
crimes and offenses to which their
attention is called by competeut

DANGERS OF THE GRIP.

The greatest danger of la grippe is
of it's resulting in pneumonia. If rea-
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is ia
ken, all danger is avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of a single case having result
ted in pneumonia, which shows con-
clusively that this remedy is certain
preventative of that dread disease. 1t
will effect a permanent cure in less
time than any other treatment. The

PRIZE FIGHTING.

There is nothing brutal about
prize fighting, but there is some
thing demon alizing about the thing
being made a game of chance Two
men, who are put into training for
a prize fight, only illustrate the
possibility of the human being be
coming a wonderful animal, cap
able of standing the severest trial
of strength and endurance; he
eclipses the race horse in the de
velopment of muscle.
The state of Nevada has opened
its arms to the prize fighter and
bids fair to secure considerable Gus
tom from the sports, but it is not
unlikely that other states will fol
low the example of Nevada, as the
very exclusion has sharpened the
curiosity of the public and made
prize fighting popular.
Prize fighting will only become
common and unpopular by famil
rarity. State laws, licensing the
business. but holding all principals
to criminal res possibility or in
juries or fatalities. would soon
make prize fighting too common to
be patronized by the better class Of
the people. National Liquor Deal,

District Reforms in Congress.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
''T'he Capitol spelled with an o has turned
its back on the capital spelled with an
in more than an architectural sense" 1 re-
marked to President Harrison in an in
terview during the first year of his presi-
dency. The theme was the proposed resto-
ration of the Sunday law, lapsed by cier-
ical error three years before, for which for
ten years have been asking. with others,
my Illustration was correct as to the whole
group Of morals. On temperance. gam
bling purity and the Sabbath alike Congress
had failed to give the District even as good
laws as the average city enjoyed under
state laws. Ten years to get the correc-
ton of clerical error, which an ordinary
legislature would have corrected in ten
minutes, on such a representative petition
from its CHIEF city as has been presented
in this case by Protestants Catholics,
to afford the exceptions that prove the
rule! The latest representative word is
letter from Father Stafford. joining his ap-
peal for the law to those previously made
by the united Protestant churches and by
Archbishop Keane in letters to me and to
the Commissioners. Father Stafford's let

democratic, unrepubiican and lmamerican.

Obligations of Church Members

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS church member l heartily indorse an
article in your paper of the 4th instant,
which concludes thus: Every church in
Washington should take up collection for
the immediate relief of this cry of suffer-
ing humanity" An appeal for such relief
was made, to my certain knowledge in one
of our large churches on Sunday February
Z. May we trust it was made with good
results in many others.
1t seems inconsistent for Christian people
to worship and give thanks in warmed and

frances and vestibules, and the contents,

The age of protection bill, asked for thus

from this District than any other District
