TQK Supreme Court of Nebraska
has made an interpretation oi th* law
fixing tbe liability ol liquor sellers
which is likely to add enormously to
tbe difficulty which saloon keepers
have experienced in securing bonds for
their business. It is in effc£t,tbat not
oaly are saloon keepers- responsible
for damages caused 'by s man to
vboee drunkeunesft they have con
tributed by selling liquor lo him. but
that their sureties are equally respon
sible also, and that their responsibil
ity continues so long as a man is in
capacitated for work by reasuu <>' his
drinking. Tbe liability thus indicat
ed is so far-reaching that it almost
cooetitntes a lien upon tbe property
of a man who is surety for a saloon
keeper, and it will doubtless resnlt io
a marked decrease in the liquor sell,

Fiftieth Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—A large
number of re»olutiona aud petitions
were preseuted and appropriately re
ferred. Tbe Post-office Committee
reported adversely upon Senator
Beck's proposition to reduce letter
postage to one cent, and the report
was placed upon tbe calendar after
some discussion. The Senate then
took up tbe Blair Educational bill aad
Mr. Morgan spoke in opposition t»> it
"Such unlimited, unrestricted, un
guarded, unjust powers, backed with
Bach untold millions of mooev as this
bill conferred upon tbe Secretary of
the Interior," be said, "had never be
fore been confided to such an officer
—a mere clerk of the President "
Mr. Blair spoke in defease of the
bill and Mr. Evarts announced his in
tention to speak upon it tomorrow.
Bills were introduced in thb Senate
as follows:
By Senator Paddock—Directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to pur
chase sites and cause to be erected
pnblic buildings for the exclusive use
of post-offices in all tow us where the
gross postal receipts for the three pre
ceding years have exceeded $lO,OOO
per annum. The cost of the site and ;
building in any town is not to exceed
the aggregate gross postal receipts
for three years._ All towns bavi-iK
first-class post-efficea are ' excluded
from the operations of the bill.
By Senator Cullom—Tbe bill in
troduced in tbe House by Representa
tive Henderson, of Illinois, for the
construction of the Hennepin Canal
and appropriating s,>'Jo 000, therefor
By Senator Quay—Granting pen
sions at the following rates to persons
in the military or naval service of the
United States confined in Confeder
ate prisons: Thoseeonfiued more than
two and less than six months, half
pension; six and less than twelve
mouths, three-quarters pension;
twelve months or more, a total pen
sion. It also grants an allowance of
$2 per day to prisoners of war for
each day coufiued.
By Senator Ingalla—lncreasing to
$3O per mouth tho pension for loss of
an eye, to $.35 for loas of a hand or
foot, to $4O for lon of au arm within
six inches of the elbow or a leg with
-10 six inches of tho kueejoint, and to
$45 for loss of au arm within six in
ches of tho shoulder-joint or a leg
within eight inches of tbe hip-joint
Also, granting a pension at the rate
of $8 per mouth to all persons wbo ]
served not less than sixty days in tbe j
late war, and increasing all soldier's j
pensions below per month to that
amount. The pension of minor chil- i
dren is increased to $5 per month, and !
tbe Arrears of Pension act is repeal- |
ed.
-—Congress is slow to proposo, and
tbe States even slower to ratify
amendments to the Constitution, but
the one about to be reported to the
House changing the time of the an
nual meeting of Congress to the first
Monday in January,and m akin if each
Congress expire on December 31 in
stead of March 4, has so much to
commend it that there ought to be
no doubt of its adoption The De
cember session of Congress ia practi
cally wasted time, and might as well
bd abolished; but tbo merit of
the amendment is that it will convene
each Congress within two months of
its election instead of thirteen mouths
as now.acd prevent thetild Congress
from legislating alter tbe p«op!e hav«
chosen a new one. The present
method by which each Congress
holds a three-months session after
many of its members have been re,
fused a re-election, and have, there
fore,uo sense of responsibility to their
constituents, is a most pernicious one.
The Senate repassed tbe proposed
constitutional amendment making
April 30 instead of YUrch 4 inaugt>>
ration day and making the same day
in odd years the la>-t day of each Con
gress. The latter part of this amend
ment antagonises the proposition
(lending in the House to make oa«&
Congress terminate in ih«* December
after a new one is elected. The Sen
ate amendment will perpetuate the
pernicious custom of having each
Congress serve one seasioa alter its
successor is elected, but the House
proposition cures that evil and is.
therefore, much to be preferred April
80 is a much better day hiatorically
and meteoroliglcally for tbe inaugu
ration of a president th in the too fre
quently cold and wet 4th of March.

THESE will tie uo consideration ot
tbe tariff hill in Cobgrees for at least

Candlemas Day —Some of the
Superstitions Connected
With It.
I Pittsburg Telegraph, K *b. a. J
This ia Candlemas Day
| It ia tbe feast of th»» purification
of the Virgia Mary, aad is very strict
ly kept m the Romiu Catualic
, ChurcD.
A'l the caudles to be used in servi
ces throughout the year are blessed
on th it d y—hence tbe name.
The 01 aof the celebration is bur
ied lu antiquity One story is tbat
; before tbe Christian era tae Komaus
i were in tbe babit of burning candles
on this day to tbe goddess Februa,
the mutber of Mira. Pope Sergine,
when he ascended tbe ecclesiastical
throne, saw that it would be useless to
p O.jlbit a practice of so loug stand
ing. tie therefore turned it to Cbris
j tiau account by eqjoining ,a similar
offering of caudles to the Virgin,
i The candles were supposed to have
the effect of frightening I be devil and
all evil spirits away from the persons
I wbo carried them, or from the houses
' in which they were placed
At Rome, tbe Pope erervyenroffl
ciaies at tbo Candlemas festival iu
tbe beautiful cbapal of the t|uiriual
When he has blessed the caudles he
distributes th-iin with his o\vu hands
among those in tbe church, each of
whom, going singly up L 0 him, kneels
to receive it Toe cardinals go first:
then follow the bishops, caunous, pri
ors, abbots, priests, etc., down to the
sacristans and meanest officer of tbe
church.
The superstition that the ground
hog comes forth on Candlemas Day,
and if the sun be shining, goes back
; to stay for six weeks more of winter
I weather, is probably derived from
pagan time?, as uo recoid can be
found of its origiu.
If there is any truth in tbe legend,
the winter should soon break up this
year. This morning was very dull
and cloudy, aud there was but little
chance for tbe animal to see his sha
dow if he depeuded upon the sun to
do so.
The festival of Candlemas, at what
ever date it took its rise, has beon
designed to commemorate the church
ing or purification of Mary, and the
candle-bearing is understood to refer
to what Simeon said when he took
the infant Jesus iu b's arms and de
clared that he was a light to Gentiles.
Thus literally to adopt aud build up
on metaphorical expressions was u
characteristic procedure of the middle
ages. Apparently, ia consequence of
tbo celebration of Mary's purification
i y candle-bearing, it became custom
ary for women to carry candles with
them, when, after recover from child
birth, tbey weut to be, as it was call
ed, churched.
Cleveland and the Cathpllcs.
The Washington Xjritic publishes
the opinions of the local clergy on
President Cleveland's action in send
ing a jubilee prcaeiit to the Pope
They generally agree that it was iu
bad taste on the part of the President,
l#r. Little, pastor of Assembly Pres
byterian Church, where Civil Serv
ice Commissioner Lyman attends said:
"I think the action of tha Baltimore
ministers is commendible. I regard
Mr Cleveland's sending the gift to the
Pope as a direct bid for the Catholic
vote of this couutry It impresses
me as an acknowledgement of the hi .
erachy, and the reply of the Pope af
fords an entering wedge to influence
the Catholic vote tiucb a thing as
H part of the country being influenced
by outbid* pressure, and especially
that of a church, is inimical to the
principles of this republic The lial
timore clergy did not intend anv bos
tilty to th« Komnn Catholic Church,
but they saw in Cleveland's actiou a
menace to the principles of liberty of
tbe ballot ".
Dr Butler, of tbe Memorial Luth
eran Church, aDd Chaplain of the Uni
ited States Senate, said: "It was
done for political effect, and for that
reason will, I think, be looked upon
with disfavor by the Protestants of
the country. They hav« no feeling
against the Churcb of Rome, as a
cburch. bot they will disapprove of
tbe recognition by the President of
the bieracby."

Beware of Scrofula
Scrofula Is probably more general than any
other disease. It Is insidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular
eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged Joints,
abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood's Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving It pure, enriched, and healthy.
" I v.as severely afflicted wltli scrofula, and
over a year bad two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Ilood's Sarsaparilla, and am
cured." C. E. LOVE.IOY, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring and fall. Ilood's
Sarsaparilla cured him.
Salt Rheum
Is one of the most disagreeable diseases caused
by Impure blood. It Is readily cured by Hood's
Sarsrtparllla, the great blood purifier.
William Spies, Klyrla, 0., suffered greatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by
handling tobacco. At times his hands would
f rack open and bleed. Ho tried various prep
arations without aid; Anally took Hood's Jsar
tfHparilla, and now says:" lam entirely well.''
"My «on had salt rhenm on liis hands and
