The Ohio law which provided for the
prosecution of employers who discharged
men because they were members of union
has been declared invalid on the ground
that IL was class legislation. The law pro-
vided no remedy for nonunionists who
might be discharged. The judge thus held
that workmen who do not belong to unions
were disseminated against

provision in the bill, and he was so told at
the time, but he made no correction, be-
cause. in all probability, he put the charge
in his speech 10 circulate among the me-
chancs in his district to make it appear
that he Is the champion of free labor. The
statement about contract labor is not only
false, but contains a covert charge that

Democrats in the Senate voted for a bill
continuing the employment of low-wage
laborers abroad under long contracts.

AT THE NEXT CONVENTION
When the Republicans Meet Philadelphia the Delegates Will Not
Be Shouted Down by Outsiders

arrangements. Their favorite PERFORM
ance is to march into the hall headed by
a brass band with banners flying. There
won't be room at Philadelphia for any
brass band except the one hired TO MI in
pauses between the speeches, and the
Mckinley Club, Of Alagazam, Mich. will
find cold reception when 1t tries to en-
ter the convention hall in body.
The Philadelphia committee has con-
tributed 100000 20 the Republican cam
paign fund. In addition 10 this, the cost
of the convention will probably not be
less than $4,000. 1nis is the average
cost of convention. The Minneapolis
convention cost that sum. and the st.
Louis convention went a little over that
limit. Philadelphia, having a convention
hall in readiness. will not spend quite so
much. on the other hand. being nearer
to the greater centers of population,
Philadelphia will probably reap a greater
reward. The men who attend a conven-
ton, including the newspaper CORE
spondents, spend an average of 500 each
above their railroad fare That will
bring 800. 900 TO the city. St. Louis had
100000 visitors, and the railroad men es-
timsted their fares at an average OF s.,
or an aggregate of 100000. Each visitor
was supposed 10 average 80 day for
amusements and lodgings, which would
bring the total spent to SO. 000,000 or 1000
900. II is likely that fully si0oO,ooo will be
spent at Philadelphia In June.
The last national convention held in
Philadelphia was ratification meeting,
as the next will be. It met in the Acad-
envy of Music. whose seating capacity
was no greater than that OF the present
hall. William Clafin called the conven-
ton to order, as Marcus Hanna will do
this year. Morton McMchael, of Penn
sylvania, was temporary and Thomas
Settle, of North Carolina, permanent
chairman. s. NJ. Cullom. of Illinois,
named Gen. Grant and he was renom-
mated unanimously.

HALF OUR ILLS ARE CATARRH.
Peruna Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.
Peuna Not a (ure-AIL

Peruna is not a cure air.; 1t cures Just
one disease-catarrh. But since cntarrh
is able TO fasten itself within the differ
ent organs OF the body so IL Is that Pc
runa cures affections OF these organs
But we insist that Peruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal. scientific remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca
tarrh Is systemic disease; that is to
say. II invades the whole system. We
claim that Peruna Is a systemic remedy;
that is to say. II eradcates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh is not a local dis
ease: Peruna Is not a local remedy
Since catarrh nvades the system, only
systemic remedy can reach IT, This ~,
IN brief, our claim In assigning 10 the
disease-catarrh--our remedy Peruna.
Booker T. Washington President of
Tuskegee College, Tuskegee, Ala, says:
II have used one bottle OF Peruna and
] can truthfully say that I have never
taken any medicine that has improved
me as much as Peruna."
There Is no medicine that can take its
place. Address The Peruna Medicine

1t involved the accumulation of an i'm
mense amount of gold. and De White
himself added 200. 900 900 rubles TO that
surplus In the first three years of his In
cumbency. Furthermore. he put an end
to speculation in rubles in the Berlin
stock exchange, thus steadying the value
of Russian paper. He himself caught the
foreigners mapping. bought in vast
quantity of paper rubles, and returned
them to st. Petersburg, greatly to the
disgust of the Berlin financiers.
Personally. Count de White has never
been a very popular man. He has had to
fight hard for all the reforms which he
has introduced. Opposed to him has been
the old. hide-bound class of officialdom
the aristocracy who despised the upstart
the war party who saw nothing in COM
mercfal growth and the merchants who
oppose the bringing in OF foreign capital
because II VIII lower rates of interest. His
commercial treaties with Germany and
Austria. while of very great advantage TO
the empire. have been denounced by his
opponents
In the Countess de WHITE the minister
has had an able ally. She is one OF the
most beautiful. fascinating women in all
Russia, one brilliantly clever, too, with
keen wits as well as perfect features; and
the rapidly with which he rose from post
to post must. perhaps, be ascribed In some
degree to the influence she welded. Wher-
ever they went she secured for him pow
erful friends

the publication OF NJ. de Cyon's M. WHITE
ct les Finances Russes," a book which
threatened at one time TO cause great ex-
element in Paris. NJ. de Cyon, Katkofs
great friend and ally in former days, is
perhaps the most vindictive OF the Russian
his book is one long. fierce attack on him
and his policy. What gives Importance
TO the work and renders 1t the more dan
gerous is that il Is a direct appeal TO
France TO refuse 10 lend money to Russia
so long as NJ. de Witte is finance minister.
NJ. Cyon tells the French nation roundly
that De White has deceived them again and
again; that he has deliberately played on
their love Of Russia TO extort money from
them. hetraying them TO Germany the
while-favoring Germany at the expense
OF France.
II CHANGED that just when the book was
on the point OF appearing--in January, 1873
"a presidential crisis occurred In France.
whereupon NJ. de Cyon gave orders that
the publication should be stopped. not wish
ing, as he said to add to the emharrass-
ment of the French government by bring
ing the Franco-Russian alliance into dis
credit. At the same time he sent. conf
dentialiy. copies OF the book TO four mem
hers of the Russian state council, in the
hope. as he somewhat naively confesses
that one of them might fall into the hands
of the car.
Instead of that. one fell into the hands
of NJ. de Witte. who straightway sent word
to It's author that II he did not publish his
book In Paris and at once he. De Witte
would publish II for him In st. Petersburg
aye, and would distribute copies of il gratis
all round. He sent. too, an announcement
of his intention to the Figaro and the re-
suit was that the book was hopeless,y dis
credited before It was published.
Count de White possessed the confidence
OF Alexander III. as well as that OF the
present car. Alexander gave him his title
OF count. which Is the highest conferred In
Russia. 1t is a much greater distinction
than that of prince. which corresponds TO
English esquire" and carries with It no
social or official perogatives
