The Senate has admitted south Da kota as a state, but the house, which is democratic will not let it pass, so Da kota as n whole or divided will hardly be admitted as a state this year. The Louisiana election shows very plainly that the Democrats of the south believe in "a white man's government" and that everything else 6hould- be sac rificed to keep the colored race from voting the Republican ticket. Vest, Vilas, Voorhees and Vance have all been named in connection with the Democratic "nomination for the Vice Presidency, but it is not believed that the next occupant of the second office will "spell it with a wc."

The adoption of high license in Penn sylvania reduced the prohibition rote last year nearly one-half, and, as a conse quence,, increased the republican vote. The republicans put a similar measure through the legislature of ' New Jersey, and that party achieved decisive victor ies in the municipal elections a few days ago in several cities of that state. Re publican support for the high-liceuss project in New York will also increase the. strength of the party in that com monwealth. It soems probably, there fore, that the prohibition vote in the coming canvass will be brought below the 13 gurcs for 1887. This means that the republicans will win m New York this year. Globe Democrat. The administration, it has often been reported, has been anxious to have power conferred upon it to buy bonds with the surplus. Its wishes in this respect have cow been gratified. The authority desir ed has been given. Both branches of congress, by a heavy vote, have declared . , . . . . -. that tiie power given in a section of an appropriation biil passed seven years ago to purchase bonds was intended to be permanent. The administration must "show its hand" now. If it does not soon evince some desire to avail itself of this power the people will know that it seeks to hold the surplus with the pur pose of forcing congress to reduce the receipts of the government below its ex penditures. This will be a dangerous position for the administration to place itself in. Globe Democrat. REP UBLICA N CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was comparatively un known, today it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is used with nervous diseases, a they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreci ate a cure. .We recommend Green's Au rust Flower.

JEWISH DOORS LEFT OPEN FOR THE EXPECTED MESSIAH. Burning- the Remnant of Leayened Ilread The Making of Unleavened Ilread Ilsllglou Services, Kite and Ceremonies Solemn Recital. In the evening, two nights before the be ginning of Tassover week, In all orthodox Jewish families, certain preparatory meas ures are taken. The father, as head of the family, makes his tour of thorough inspection of his domicile, seeking for roumants of lua vened bread, first invoking a blessing upon his task, and then preserving a solemn bilenco until the conclusion of his search. Care is taken that there shall be some scraps left for him to find, and tluit he shall know where to look for them, but the form of search is care fully preserved, and his wife makes very sure tliat no other fragments are left but those intended to bo found, which are always mere crumbs. These are gathered in a spoon. To thorn is adddd tha half mizvo left over from the Passover of the preceding year, and all are carefully wrapped, in a clean bit of linen and laid aside until tho forenoon of the Euccaediug day Aref-Pesaeh when, about 10 o'clock, the little package is put in the firo and buruod. From the time when those remnants of leavened bread are burned, through the whole of the succeeding seven days no other bread is eaten than tho ruatzos, or thin flakes of dry baked, crisp, unleavened dough, and the orthodox Jew is not supposed to have iu his possession any of the thjngs that may not lawfully be eaten by him during that season. The requirements of the truly orthodox with reference to the preparation of tho raatzos are very rigid. A committee is ap pointed from each congregation, whose duty it is to buy in the Gold before it is harvested, if possible, tho grain that is destined for con version into the unleavened breed. If this cannot bo done, they Beleet tho best grain ob tainable from the merchants, lue grinding of it into flour must be dono in a mill that has been thoroughly cleansed from every contaminating speck of other flour, and when this work is completed the product is carefully barreled and sealed to bo kept until required. In tho preparation of the mizvos about which there is a peculiar sacrediiess the grinding of the grain into flour is fre quently done in a hand mill that is kept for that purpose and no other. For every step in its progress from the field to the baking oven the Hour is sanctified to its uses by pre scribed prayers uttered over it. The baking should properly be done by each congrega tion in its own bakery, the quantities re quired for each family having been ascer tained in advance. In practice in this coun try, however, the matzos aro made generally in large bakeries owned and controlled by Jews, who scrupulously observe in their preparation every requirement of their law, and this is looked upon as sufficient. In the making of the dough, the flour is simply mixed with pure water to the required con sistency, without salt, leaven of any kind, or any other foreign substance, is rolled very thin and baked drj. On the next evening, after religious ser vices in the synagogues, which all Hebrews should attend, eaeh family retires to its home, and there solemnly celebrates tho com memorative feast with which the festival be gins. L pou the ianniy taDie is set a great plate of silver, if possible covered with a clean napkin, on which are laid three matzos, the peculiarly sanctified cakes of matzo bread set apart for this especial use, and to this end particularly consecrated by tho rabbi's pra3-ers. Upon another plate appears the shank bone of a shoulder of lamb and an egg, both roasted upon coals; in a third plato some lettuce and celery, or chervil and parsley, some horse radish and watereresses; a cup containing salt water or vinegar; a small plato of apple sauce and almonds; and glasses of wine, one for each person present, and still another, that stands untouched throughout the ceremonial, as a symbol of tho welcome ever ready for the long hoped for ilessiah. Each ierson present is re quired to drink four glasses or cups of wine during the progress of tho rites. All mem bers of a Jewish household, from its patri archal head down to the humblest servant, sit together at this Passover feast, for all are equal before the God to whom they offer their thanksgivings for hU infinite mercios to their race; all are children of those who were by him brought out of bondage. And the things thus displayed on tho table have their emblematic significance. The horse radish and other sharp or bitter herbs recall the bitter servitude in Egypt;, the un leavened bread, tha hasty prc-pomtion fo L flight to freedom in the desert; and other meanings aiuicu to eucu 01 lue oiaer articles, as, for instance, the apple sauce, of the con sistency of mortar, which is a reminder of the clay from which the Egyptian task masters compelled their ancestors to nmke bricks without straw. The head of the family takes his place upon a chair, on which a pillow has been laid, to distinguish it as a sort of throne. He is the atriarch, the master, the teacher. Around the board lefore him gather lis Ianniy and dependents, all attired as if ready to set forth upon a journey. Ho and they do not assume the easy attitudes common at the social board, but sit erect as if alert' and ex pectant, lie offers up a pra3'er. Breaking afros? tho middle one of tho three mizvos, l)o lays aside half of it to ba kept until the next Aref-Pesach, when it will be burned. To each person seated at the board he gives a fragment of that mizvo and of one of tho others, also a small portion of tho Lerb3 which are to be dipped into tho salt water or Vinegar and eateii. Then all take hold of tho seder plate, upon whib the mizvos have been exposed, and together they sustain it above tho labia while he utters another prayer. It is then replaced upon the board and one of the younger members of the family asks the father certain prescribed questions as to why they .are so as sembled with the objects before " them that so meagerly furnish forth the family tble. In response, the patriarchal head ot thh fauuly tells the grand old story of Is rael's slavery and redemption therefrom by him who with strong hand and mighty arm led them out of the house of bondage, through the Red sea, and humbled the pride of their cruel oppressors. As , he recites the ten piuguss sent upon the Ejjyptiuns, at the mention of each every one seated at the board dips a little finger in the glass of wine before him or her, and scatters a few drops upon the floor. A prayer follows tho solemn recital Hands gre washed and the whole of the emblematic repast that Is at all eatable excepting the half mizvo reserved is consumed. During part of this ceremonial feast the door of the house must stand open, that if, in the full ness of God's providence, the hour shall have come for the advent of the Messiah which, according to their traditions, will be in Pass over time his entrance may be unimpeded, and his welcome, symbobzed by the full gloss pf wine left untouched on the table, shall be wyer ready. A fervent prayer of thanksgiv ing concludes the rite, and the rest of tha evening is devoted to innocent enjoyment and domestic felicity. New York Sun. Real Estate Bargains EXAMINE OUR LIST.
