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." Eagle.

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.

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? 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. Its cures are marvelous.

TIIE PASSOVER RITES.
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.
