This is a libel npon the American people

A moraiog paper says the Rev. Dr.

Giynn's case will spon be reopened at

George doctrines in 80 many words and

church will be equivalent to a recauta-

There is littie need of any further ar-
gument on this subject. This bill is
simply a revolation. I's one purpose is
to continue the dominant party in pows
er; and to this end its promoters are will-
ing to destroy local self-government, to
overthrow the rights of citizens and of
communities, and to change a republic
of free elections into a concentrated par
ty despotism.
This 8 ‘heme should be resisted deters
minedly, unyieidingly, uncompromis-

every means of delay and obstruction
should be resorted to in Cougress. The
mischiefs that are sure to arise from
such a political revolution are so great

The report of the interstate commerce
commission for the year 1889, just issued

the railroads of the United States. Of
this number 1,972 of the killed and 20,-
028 of the injured were railroad employ-

the occasion for one death for every 117
employes and one injury for every twelve
men employed. The ratio for the pres
vious year was about thesame. Compar
ing these figures with those for Eogland
the result is not favorable to this country.

every 158 men employed. The acc:

Queer.
Koch, the discoverer of a preventive
of consumption, is talked about snd
read about all over the world. He is the
great man of the times. If his discovery
proves what he claims for it, then he is
justly entitled to fame. He is the pres
server of thousands of lives; he saves
thousands from becoming widows, and
thousands more from becoming orphans.
And for this Dr. Koch will be counted a
great man—and very justly,
Here is another: A general takes
charge of an army. He succeeds in kill-
ing thousands; making thousands of
wives widows, and many more thousands
of children orphans. And the entire
world applauds this general as a great

Here are two characters whom the
world lauds, yet their achievements are
directly the opposite. How queer!

A government courier and a scont came
in from Wounded Knee late a few nights
ago and reported that the ghost dancers
had killed one of their number. It hap-
pended in a significant maoner. The
dancers had their medicine men concoct
the old-time preparation with which the
braves of Caster’'s time always saturated
their shirts preparation to going to war.
This concoction is supposed by the In.
dians to ward off ballets. After
the alleged wonderful charm had
been mixed a war shirt was dipped into
it wod then put on one of the braves, The
wearer of the charmed raiment then
jumped into the midst of the dancers and
called npon the dancers to fire at him.
They complied, and at the fist shot that
was fired Mr, Brave, who had on the
bulletsproof shirt, fell to the ground
morally wounded. When General
Brooke heard of the affair he remarked
simply dryly. “Porbably the shirt was
not long eaongh.”

Possibly no feature ever inaugurated
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has attracted such universal comment
and attention as the series of tours it bas
announced, to be run early in 1891 to the

ed to one hundred passengers who will
travel in a Pullman vestibule train

leaves New York February 7th, and
speeds directly to the scene of the famons
Mardi Gras at New Oricans, and then
out to Southern California, and directly
north to Ban Francisco, where the un-

statute books. If every agricaiturist in|
Pennsylvania were to carefully and!

The wheat crop of Washington is the
largest in its history, being estimated at!
16,000,000 bushels. The elevators, ware. |
houses, and box cars along the railways!
are filled and stacks of sacked wheat dot |
the fields, |
The inability of reilroads to obtain mo- |
tive power to move the enormous crop
to market is exasperatiog the farmers |
who are chargiog them with collusion |
with the werehouse men to lower the
prices of wheat. So intense has become
the feeling among the farmers against the
railroad companies that through the
Farmers’ Alliance they threaten to build
and indepeodent line in competition!
with the Northern and Union Pacific to
Puget Bound.
To this end it is proposed to urge the |
coming State Legislature to anthorizethe
issue of State bonds to build such a read
as a relief for the people, the State to
own and control it.
The lymph used by Professor Koch for
the cure of tuberculosis is prepared in an
incabatiog stove within a space that is
hermetizally sealed and sterilized and
thereby rendered free from fungus. The
interior of the airtight space is divided
by an ungiazed porcelain diaphragm
into an upper and lower section. In the
upper section is placed a salted meat
broth in a gelationus state contining
colonies of the tubercle germ, This mass
gradoally liquefies and the gelatine liquid
drops slowly through the porcelain plate
into the lower section, The liquid then
contains all the secretory products, bt
is free from all living or dead germs or
reproductive spores and is the lymph as
used. By the injection of the lymph the
tabercle germ is killed, and at the same
time the injected particles retain suffici-
entstrength to detach and expel the
dead germs, together with the dead
tissue. The separative process ensues and
healing follows.
