Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the con-
traction of disease provired the system
is in vigorous condition, with the
blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such q. con-
dition contagion is readily resisted
and the disease germs can find no lodg-
ment. Hoods Sarsaparilla i the best
medicine to build up the system be
cause it makes pure, rich blood, and
pure blood is the basis Of good healsh.
In cold weather it is especially neces-
sary to keep up the health tone, be-
cause the body is subject to greater
exposure and more liable to disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the safeguard Of
health.

Vhe Pops Exclted.

A wild furor prevailed among the
pops in the legislature on Monday last,
says a Pierre dispatch to the Minneap.
oils Journal For several hours they
believed that Picker had been elected
senator and there was great scramb!ins
and recriminations The constitution
provides that no Judge shall he eligible
TO another office during his term either
before the legislature or the people, and
that all votes for him shall be void A
few days ago in joint assembly pa votes
were polled. Plowman. Judge in the
eighth district received Is votes. If
these were void there were only LOG
legal votes and Of these Pickler receiv-
ed 81 or a majority. When this was
discovered there was great running 10
and fro and caucusiug but an examina-
ton Of law cooled the excitement. The
best lawyers looked the matter up and
found that federal statutes and de
cisions are all alike, holding that state
constitutions have no jurisdiction in the
matter. Several cases precisely like
Judge Plowman5 were found with de-.
cisions always alike.

Long and Judge McKenna have not
announced the certainty of their APP
pointments, says Canton dispatch, and
there is bare possibility that the
Massachusetts statesman NAV be dis
placed 10y Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford OF
New York. One of the untitled port
fulios will. of course, be given to 4 New
Yorker, and if the foregoing list giving
five of the eight Offices in the cabinet 10
the west, should be the fixed slate, there
is no likelihood that either the postoffice
or justice departments will be directed
by western man. One eastern and
one southern man are expected TO be
appointed to these two vacancies, pro-
nAinent among the latter candidates
being Hon. II. Clay Evans of Tennessee,
since the declination of Judge Nathan

Senator Perkins of California has in

ing concurrent resolution, which is now
awaiting consideration
Whereas, The mining interests of
the United States have not clearly de-
fined representation in the organization
of the government; and whereas, it is
desirable that there should be gather. d
and published statistics and other in
formation that will be of value to min
ing and related industries; and whereas,
the statistics now obtained aie secured
by the Geological Survey and the Di.
rector Of the Mint; and whereas, it is
desirable that all statistics relating to
mines and mining be collected by one
orga ization, it is
Resolved. That Commission be and
is hereby formed, consisting of the
Commissioner OF the General Land
Office. the Commissioner Of Labor and
the Director Of the Geological survey,
whose duty shall be to determine the
best method Of ascertaining all the facts
OF general importance relating to mines
and mining within the United States,
whether by mining bureau, a secre
tary Of mines and mining, q commits
sioner OF mines or commission, and to
report to the Secretary Of the Interior
for his examination and approval a hill

A Moderate Demand.

The manufacturers Of the country are
generally in favor of moderate tariff
duties This ia shown by the action OF
the representatives of the National As
sociation Of Manufacturers. who adopted
resolution declaring that duties should
be made consistent with adequate pro-
lection Of our manufacturing and agri
cultural industries and the labor they
employ. 1t is true there were members
Of the convention who favored high
duties. but they constituted small mi
nority. In thus putting themselves on
record as favoring only such duties as
will give reasonable protection to indus
tries and labor, the manufacturers have
disarmed criticism and put themselves
in position to exert an Influence upon
congress and the country. Their mod
crate demand will have the effect 10
simplify the task of framing a new tariff
bill. while it must convince all but the
radical and uncompromising opponents
Of protection that the men who are at
the head OF the great industrial enter
prises Of the country are seeking only
the institution of a policy that will Sc
cure the prosperity Of all the people. 1t
may not be easy to define what duties
are consistent with adequate protection
TO industries and labor. but everybody
can understand tina. they are not such
duties as are provided in the existing
tariff law. These, few schedules ex-
cepted, have not given adequate pro-
tect o., while as q revenue measure tn.
law has been an utter failure. Still it
has defenders, who insist that 1t ought

The Henry Independent dishes up
the following sparkling and significant
pen portrait Of Judge Palmer Of Sioux
Falls. a former republican, now recog.
nized pop leader in the state senate :
Judge Palmer, the renegade republi-
can apostate, who just now apparently
has the state senate in his vest pocket,
is doing everything in his power which
foxy and cunning disposition can
devise, to keep his name before the
public. Palmer is one Of those ducas
who crave and must have notoriety. Il
does not matter TO Palmer, particularly,
what sort Of notoriety it is, whether
commendabie or otherwise, il is neces-
sary TO his health and to the gratifca-
ton Of his vanity. He is artful. and
utterly INSCRIPTIONS. lie is openly
admitted by his party friends to be the
paid representative of the wholesaiing
interests Of Sioux Falls. fIe is a man OF
absolutely no principles or convictions,
The writer had, until his disgusting
fasco at Aberdeen. considerable conf

treacherous and damnable conduct there
marked him an arch hypocrte. He il

has kicked him into the mud and trampl.

prosperity

Kirk G. Phillips, after making all
reasonable offers to the populists to
prove to them that he could secure the
money ofthe state when wanted, had to
send to Chicago, says the Lead Tribune,
where he had collected it and have the
currency in bills Of large denomina-
ton from one to ten thousand dollar
notes brought to Pierre so that the
governor could count it without trouble
and also to make the risk as little as
possible. 1t is now amusing to set in
the treasurers Office and hear the pop
,list members Of the legislature come
one at time and apologize for making
fools Of themselves. They now realize
that they have made a laughing stock OF
their governor and are heartily ashamed
Of their record Governor Lee IL also
ashamed Of the whole affair and lays it
10 the party and the legislature.

The investigation of the affairs of the
Cheyenne, Wyoming. postoffice has
been concluded, says a late Cheyenne
special to the Omaha Bee, and reveals
the fact that Postmaster Draper's short
age is S4,s23.S7. His bondsmen have
been notified by the department to
make this amount good The bonds
men have about 5000 Of the money,
which Mr. Draper abstracted from a
registered package, which is available
for application on the shortage They
hope to retain one eff their number as
postmaster until the close Of Mr.. Drapers
term and by applying the salary of the
office in payment Of the balance of the
shortage to be relieved from the matter
with hut nominal loss. The investiga
ton of the accounts Of Charles Draper,
the postmaster's son, who had charge of
the money order department, show S
them to be correct.
