Brooklyn physician translates the follow
ing from a Greman writer: "The apple is
such a common fruit that few persons are
familiar with its remarkable eliicaciOus me-
dicinal properties. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing he can do is to
eat apples Just before going to bed. The
apple is excellent brain food, because it has
more phosphorc acid. in an easily digestible
shape than any other fruit known. II
excites the action of the liver promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly dsinfects
the mouth 1t also agglutinates the surplus
acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secre-
tions, and prevents calculus growth, while
It obvates Indigestion and is one Of the
best preventives of diseases of the throat.
Next to lemon and orange. it Is also the best
antldote for the thirst and craving of per-
sons addicted to the alcohol and opium

THE TARIFF IN THE SENATE.

An element of uncertainty in regard
to new tariff law is the doubtful po-
litical situation in the senate of the
Fifty-ffth congress. With the exception
of the seats from Kentucky and Della
ware the complexion of the senate after
March / will be 43 republicans. 33 demo
Gratis and II independents consisting of
populists and free silver republicans
IL total of SS votes or two less than a
full senate. 1t is assumed that a repub-
lican will be ultimately elected from
Kentucky, though this Is not to be re-
gardcd Us certain, while as to Delaware
the chances appear to be that the state
will continue until another legislature
can be chosen to be represented by one
senator. 1t seems probable, therefore,
that when the Fifty-fifth congress meets
in extra session the republicans will
lack two of n majority in the senate
and will therefore be unable to pass Il
tariff bill if the other political elements
should unite against it,
There is substantial ground for the
belief. however that there will not be
such II union and that moderate tariff
measure will have the support of sew
eral democrats and silver republicans,
Senator-elect McEnery of Louisiana has
already announced that he will vote for
such bill, and Senator White of Cali
fornia has intimated that he will not
antagonize tariff bill in which the in.
tcrests of his state are recognized Ii
is probable that other democrats may be
induced to take similar view of the
matter, on the general ground that the
republican party having been restored
to power with the avowed purpose of
renewing the protective policy accord
ing to the republican idea. it ought to
be given an opportunity to carry out
the declared will of n majority of the
people. Senator White has stated his
position, which is practically that of
Senator-elect McEnery in this way: "a
majority of the people have spoken for

| administration as much as possible.
believe in passing the measures neces-
sary to supply funds TO carry on the
government. If tariff measure is
deemed essential to restore prosperity
shall not oppose it, or any other revenue
measure that may be proposed" This
is Il wise and patriotic position.
1t is said there is little doubt among
careful judges that new tariff bill, on
moderate prOtectionist lines, can be
passed in the senate. but it will be sub
jected to prolonged discussion. so that
if an extra session is called in March
it may not be possible to get the bill
through the senate before some time in
June.

AY JRBJG1TION COJIlTISSION.

1t is to be hoped the present congress
will pass the bill that has been intro
duced providing for an irrigation com
mission. This was recommended by the
National Irrigation congress mt its last
session and the consensus of opinion
among those who have given the most
careful consideration to the irrigation
problem is that the most direct method
of reaching solution is through com
mission OF capable men who will give
the subject thorough investigation. The
hill introduced by Representative Her
mann of Oregon appears to be COM
prchensive measure, compliance with the
complete understanding of the problem
in all its details and an accurate preSen-
tatiOn of n great deal of useful and
needed information, valuable both to
congress and to the public. 1t is de-
sirable that the work of investigation
proposed shall be entered upon with the
least possible delay. for it is task that
will consume good deal of time, If prop
erly performed, and the question of re-
claiming the arid public domain is be-
coming every year more urgent. The
matter is one of such Importance as to
appeal to the immediate attention of
congress. The advocates of irrigation

the eXpediency of n commission, con

Pursuit of the Trusts.
nnn-n Ii INN nnnae

Wisconsin seems destined to be the field
for some vigorous antitrust movements,
since the attorney general is taking an active
interest in enforcing the law. a few days
ago he secured a temporary injunction re-
straining the National Manufacturing COM
pany from doing business in the sash, door
and blind industry, on the ground that 1t
forms a trust The court has dismissed
this injunction, but will hear a motion for a
permanent injunction, which gives the at
torney general a chance to push the case.
IL Is probable that the success of the Georgia
antitrust law in driving combinations from
the state has been a factor in influencing
this official. 1t should have the same effect
everywhere. What can be done in Georgia

Secretary Olney is authority for the

We're appointed, which provides only for

the law sets no time limit ut all for the

And he beheld the Spaniard's reeking

He saw with burning heart his country
throngcd

He saw those dear as heaven so foully
wronged
That even fiends might blush to name
the deed.
Then, with his brothers and his aged

He swore the Roman oath of endless

And, lighting with a patriots soul OF

Deathless he sleeps beneath his native

THE THREE COlIMISSIONERs BILL.


Senator Ransom's bill to reduce the
number of commissioners for Douglas
county from five to three has been recon-
mended for passage in the senate. The
assumption on the part of the senate, we
take II, is that the proposed change is in
the interest of economy and demanded
by the taxpayers of this county. In this
they labor under Il Misrepresentation. In
counties where township government
prevails II board of three commissioners
may give satisfactory results. but in Il
county with 10000 population, an as
sessed valuation of nearly $25,O0OO00,

hospitals and other institutions to be
looked after, board of five commits
sioners Is none too large.
The affairs of Douglas county were for
many years managed by board of three
commissioners. Experience demon
strated that 1t was unsafe and un-
economical to leave the control of the
county's business in close corporation,
which placed two men, constituting the

NOVEL PLAN OF SUFFRAGE.
Eastern Views of Governor HoIcomb's
Poll Tax Plan.

Governor Holcomb OF Nebraska recon-
mends to the legislature OF his state some
thing decidedly novel in the way OF taxa
tion. II Is to Impose a poll tax .on all citi-
zens who are entitled TO the ballot, and to
remit the tax to all who vote He says the
object OF this proposition is to make suffrage
free and to impose the head tax on those
only who neglect TO perform their duties
as citizens But. II the state has no poll
tax, suffrage Is already free, and no legisla-
tion is required for that purpose To assess
the tax on all qualified voters and remit 1t
to all except those who neglect 10 perform
their duties as citizens would be found
very yeXatious plan. Doubtless 1t would
bring some money into the treasury, but

Quite suited to his hand,
And picked him out a choice cigar,

His inkstand had been freshly filled,
And blotters lay around
To dry his ink, when with success
His labors had been crowned.
He had a license, too, and yet,
In spite of all his pains.
He failed. He had been fitted out

Photography in Colors.

A French inventor, NJ. Villedieu-
Chassague, is said to have developed q
process by means Of which photo
graphs showing in their natural co}ors
can be made in very simple way.
With some solution, the secret of
Whole composition he at present with
holds, he washes the sensitive plate on
which the negative is taken: The
plate, OR sensitized paper, on which
the positive is to be made is similarly
treated. TAT first the picture has the
appearance Of any ordinary photo
graph, but after three successive
washes, one blue, one grass-green and
one crimson red, have been passed
over it, it assumes the colors Of the
original object, all arranged in their
proper places and intensities. In
other words, the blue takes hold only
where there was blue in the original,
and so with the other colors, and the
proper shades are represented. Sir
H. Trueman Wood, Secretary Of tho
Society of Arts, London, and Captain
w. dew. Abney have not only wit
messed the making of colored photo
graphs by the new process, but they
have themselves experimental with
the plates and solutions, and they ez-
press establishment at the results.
Captain Abney says that he is still
somewhat skeptical, despite what he
has seen, and wishes to examine the
mysterious process further before he
will undertake to say on what principle
it works.
