Mcclure was then examined. He did

ought TO take, it will for the first time
in it's history part with a most bene-
ficent power which it has often exercised
"a power that ought rarely to be eXer-
ciSed hut which the House has never

The minority report is signed by Mr.

THE MINORITY REPORT.
Assuming THAI Mr. Roberts has been

House Of Representatives is for that real
son Of the opinion that he ought not
to be a member of thereof, what coarse
should it rightfully pursue under the
Constitution, the supreme law OF the

10 be excluded, ii must be because he is
for such reason legally ineligible or dis
qualified. The purpose Is to consider the
question of constitutional right, not Of
power. as it is conceded that Ire House
has the power TO exclude, with or with
ont reason, right or wrong. Inc exc
else of such a power without constitu-
tional warrant. would simply BE brute
force. tyrannous exercise of power un-
renewable by any tribunal
After citing the constitutional proyi-
sion as to the qualifications of represent
tativp in Congress, the report proceeds:
This House, by its independent &C
item. cannot make law for any purp0se.
The adding by this House. acting alone,
az a qualification not established by law
would not only be a violation OF both the
Constitution and the law, but it would
establish IA most dangerous precedent,
which could hardly fail to "retuln TO
plague the inventor"
The report concludes as follows:
"A small PARTISAN majority might rem
der the desire to arbitrarily exclude by
Il majority vote. in order to mere secure
" intrench itself III power. Irresistible.
Hence its exercise is controlled by .egal
rules. In ease of expulsion. where thf
rcouisitc two-thirds can he had, the mo-
tive for the exercise of arbitrary power

Hence expulsion has been safely left to

is not in line with that doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to none.

why is it that the man who sends the

was the law so made that the telegraph

Why Women are NERVOUS.

The frequent cases of nervous
prostration or utter collapse of the
nervous system under which women
''go all to pieces" as the saying is,
have caused much thought and
Investigation on the part of physicians.
Certain inorganic sI5stan:e are
we'll known to cause various forms of
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is prevailing cause of So
called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed.
Experiments physioIogically made
upon animals by Orfla, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim aud others.
show that alum frequently produces no
visible symptoms for many days after its
introduction into the body. Then follow
loss of appetite and other alimentary
disturbances. and finally a serious
prostration of the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physicians
now believe that nervous prostra-
ton" and many affections of the nerves
from which both men and women suffer
are caused by the continued absorption
of alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to which
salts of alumina may be introduced
into the body, being under the i'm
preston that the use of alum in bread
is prohibited. Alum, however, is still
used surreptitiously to some extent te
whiten bread, and very largely in
making cheap kinds of baking powder.
In families where baking powder is
generally used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may generally be distinguished
by the lower price at which they are
sold British Medical News.

Governor Goebel Assassinated.

As VIM. Goebel, declared by
the contest board as elected
governor of Kentucky, was cross
ing the street to the State house,
at Frankfort, on the morning OF
Tuesday Both of JAN, he was
shot and probably fatally
wounded, by some one who
raised window in a room ad-
joining Governor Taylor's office,
the assassin using a Winchester
rife. Four shots were fired, the
last three after Goebel had fallen
to the pavement.
The contest board declared
Goebel the democratic candidate,
elected, but the republicans had
sworn that he should never be
governor. Taylor issued a pro-
clamation disbanding the legis-
lature, and threw a guard OF
state malitia-which he had
assembled in Frankfort with the
evident intention of forcing
things his way regardless of the
law-around the state house and
public halls, and refused to let
the legislature assemble.
At the hour we go to press,
Goebel is still alive, but not
much chances of his living. He
has been sworn in as governor,
but the republicans refuse to
recognize the regular proceed
ings, and there is danger of more
serious trouble.
