The Confederate firigadiers opposed thfi bill to cenfer a new honor upcnGen. Sheridan. Even on his death bed, they cannot forgive him for the dashing way in which he used to turn their flanks and spoil their chances of victory. The democrats meet tomorrow in St. Louis. They will be under control of one man and that man an individual whom nine out of ten members of the convention would oppesa if they dared to manifest their real feeling toward him. A Piiti.AnEi.rm.v saloon-keeper has gone crazy over his failure to get a license. That's one. Keep tally. On the other side count up the maniacs made by having whisky piddled freely on every corner. Add the list of . women crazed and then count in the number of children begotten in rum and bred under saloon influence. Statisticts have been appealed to in vain that side. "We can stand one case of insanity on the side of reform. The best of it is the law is go ing to be enforced, and those who en force it are not the only ones who will suffer. The growth of "Law and Order" sentiment is steady and sure. It will cover the land. The dive-keeper must begin to adjust himself to better order and decenter society. He must not let the law sttike him unprepared. Tue arguments made in the house in favor of the bill to prohibit the transpor tation of goods manufactured by convict labor from one state to another were of the nauseous character usual to dema gogues when they address themselves to labor. The bill is manifestly unconsti tutional, since it docs not seek to "regu late commerce among the several states," but simply to prohibit it. The prohibi tion does not seek to prohibit commerce in hurtful articles, but merely in articles produced in a certain way. The same arguments employed to prohibit the trans portation of goods made by convict labcr would be equally effective and valid to prohibit that of any other goods. The bill, in fact, opens the door for a general scheins of inter-state protective legisla tion. It would be quite in keeping with Buch legislation to pass a law prohibiting the transportation of cheap manufactured goods from Massachusetts to the south ern and western states where " infant in dustries " have been started. In fact,the arguments used by Mr. Cabot Lodge in favor of this bill are exactly adapted to support such a measure. Mr. Lodge cited the case of cocoa matting produced in the Pennsylvania state prison. The cocoa matting, he said, had severely crij pletl the manufacture of such matting in his own state. Perhaps so perhaps not. Every manufacturer is interested in get ting a rival out of the way, whether it be the product of prison labor or of free labor. His word is not to be taken upon that poiut without thorough Investiga tion. But supposing that the manufac turers of boots and shoes in Illinois find that the competition of manufacturers in Massachusetts "severely cripples " them, is there any constitutional reason why they should not have a law passed to pro hibit the transportation of boots and shoes from Massachusetts to Illinois ? Moral reasons there are in plenty, but we are speaking of constitutional reasons. "We can see none whatever, but we can see plainly that Mr. Lodge and those who agree with him are blazing the way for inter-state protection laws, from which the older manufacturing states will be the first and principal sufferers. N. Y. Post. Voice of the Press. Judge Gresham carries five bullets with him, which were tired into his body dur ing the war. Mr. Cleveland has no bul lets that anybody knows of, and it is too late to consult his substitute Walt Mason. "When the prohibition candidate is elected to the presidency the festive goat and sportive cow will hilarious leap from bough to bough, and the rivers will run backward, but all sorts of strange things are liable to happen. Even the miUenium is confidently expected by a great many people. AValt JIasen. The editor of the Manchester (Mo.) Signal has become weary of toil without recompense, tears all in vain, and in the last issue of Lis excellent volksblatkhe isays: "We are getting tired of gmDf two dollars worth of advertising for a couple of 23 cent tickets and then be classed as a dead head. That game is nixy with us hereafter." As for the editor he has run the gaunt let of rebel bullets and has escaped the scalpel of furious subjects of editorial criticism, but may Jehu protect him from ever being set on by the festive, light ning hccld broncho. He draws the line at the broncho. C. W. Hyatt. Today our surplus products are esti mated by the millions of bushels; today the treeless desert is being converted into flourishing forests and orchards, at the rate of over 25,000 acres annually; today we can boast of over 4,000 miles of run ning railroad within our borders; today it is of national, yea, of world wide re cord, that Nebraska, among the youngest of the sisterhood of states, has borne off national and inter-national agricultural and promological awards; today it is an acknowledged fact based upon scientific analysis and crop products, that no more productive soil exists. Today with quite a million enterprising, intelligent, go ahead people, doubling in population in less than one foruth of a decade; and fif ty millions fertile acred to operate upon agriculturally, who dare predict for the future even for a single decade to come ? R. W. Furnace. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of the hroat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without excep tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slicht tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs produc ing Consumption and to the head, caus ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to continue will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos shec's German Syrup. It will giye you immediate relief. FATHER'S CHILD. Xj little girt to-night with childish glee. Although her months had numbered not two score. Escaped her nurse, and, at my study door, With tiny fingers rapping, spoke to me; Though faint her words, I heard them trem blingly Fall from her lips, as if the darkness bore Its weight upon her: "Father's child. No more I waited for, but straightway willingly I brought the sweet intruder into light With happy laughter. Even so some night. When, from the nursing earth escaped and free, My soul shall try in her first infant flight To seek God's chamber, these two words shall be Those that will make hiin ope bis door to me. XL. T.

It Is claimed that in cases of pneumonia, where there is great embarrassment of breathing from accumulation of secretion in the bronchial tubes, great benefit may often be derived by inverting the patient and bay fug him cough violently while in this posi tion. It i easily accomplished by a strong assistant standing on the patient's bed, seiz ing the sick man's ankles, turning him with bis face downward and then lifting bis feet four or five feet above the level of the mat tress, If the patient, with his face over the edge of the bed and bis legs thus held aloft. will cougb vigorously two or three tiroes, will get rid of timch expectoration that ex baustive efforts at coughing failed to dis lodge when not thus aided by gravity. Life has been saved by repeated performances of this maneuver in pneumonia' accompanied with great cyanosis, doe to inundation of the bronchial tubes with mucous secretion.- Polyclinic. How French Claret Is Blade. British Vice Consul Warburton, of Ro chelle, suggests the establishment of a new industry in England the manufacture, namely, of French claret. The process, as carried on in bu district, is both simple and inexpensive. Raisins and currants are steeped in water at a temperature of about 70 degs. until fermentation takes place, a little red Spanish wine is tbon added to give color, and the mixture is ready for use. It has the further advantage that it is pleasant to the taste, and is considered perfectly wholesome. The cost of production is about one penny per bottle, and there are several factories turning out hundreds of gallons doily. The Argonaut. An Anecdote of Mr. Conkling. There is a story of two Hoc b ester men who once were in New York on legal business, it occurred to them to consult Mr. Cockling, and they did so at some length and very much to their satisfaction. As they rose to go, the spokesman said: "Mr. Conkling, we thank you for your advice, which is very valuable to us. When we get borne we will send yon a check for $200." "Oh, no, gentle men," said the ex-senator, "don't do that. I am only too happy to be of service to yon, and make no charge. Yon are quite wel come; but when 1 do charge, my fee is $3.000."

CHEMICAL EXPERTS CHAT ABOUT CASES THEY HAVE OBSERVED. II ow a Kentncklan Came to Eplt Fire, A Tet Cat's Trouble Adulteration Most Abominable Almost ma Accident. "OH with Dane." Some years ago," said Professor H. D Garrison, professor of chemistry and physics In the Chicago College of Pharmacy, "1 was lecturing on potassium. A peculiarity of this element Is that it takes fire on coming In contact with water. 1 held In my band a pill made of the metal and was cutting it into fine shavings with ray knife. The shav ings fell in a little pile before me, and after the lecture one of the student, a tall, lank fellow from Kentucky, came up to the desk, and, picking op the shavings, dropped them on his tongue. lie bad a babitof tasting everything. The saliva on the young man's tongue was enough to fire the potassium, and the way that Kentuckian did spit fire and yell for the next five minutes was enough to strike terror to any man's heart who didn't know what ailed bim." "Yes," said the professor, "I have devoted five or six years toexperiment. Photography is comparatively a new art or science. Its possibilities were never dreamed of. For merly minutes were required to make the picture; now the one-thousandth pacp of a second is ample to do the work if the sun light is strong. Recently 1 exposed but one eighth of my lens with results just as perfect as though the other seven-eighths bad been shown. As for the time required, a one-thousandth part of a second I believe to be ample. Chemistry has brought up the plates and the material that is used to the highest point of perfection." Said Professor Galloway, the secretary of the college and director of the chemical lab oratory: "1 had more fun once than 1 bar gained for. in lecturing on phosphorus I usually show that it is soluble in bi-eulphide of carbon. Buch a solution being placed on a paper and exposed to the air a few mi nates spontaneously inflames and continues to burn until the pbc-phoru? is all consumed. The same solution will spontaneously inflame if placed upon fur or clothing. Que night at my home we had company and 1 was anxious to entertain them. The lights were lowered and 1 retired to the kitchen, where my mother's black cat was sleeping. Picking up the animal 1 produced a bottle of the phos phorus and with a small brush was about to streak the cat with what our guests would regard as liquid fire when I turned the cat into the darkened parlor. Suddenly the door opened, and in my haste to conceal my mix ture 1 spilt the whole business on the back of the black cat. She made one bound through the dining room into the parlor, and there began such a caterwauling as that neighbor bood nevei beard before. She was fairly drenched in phosphorus, and in the dark looked like a ball of fire as big as a bushel basket. "Her first break was for my mother, whom she regarded as her best friend. lier best friend didn't recognize her, and when my mother began to scream and break for the boll door the guests took the alarm and a small panic ensued. 1 was so broken up with laughter my sell that 1 dropped to the dining room floor helpless. It took me five minutes to explain the situation to my sister and ask ber to throw some water on the cat. Finally, after she bad called my mother and the beast had been drenched, we thought the trouble was over, but it wasn't. The phosphorus had settled into the bide, and as soon as the cat began to dry off the fire broke out again. Three times that night we bad to douse that cat, and when 1 went to bed 1 left ray indig nant mother sitting by the stove with ber pet cat done up in her lap in a damp shawL" "Once," said another professor, "a man brought me some pepper to analyze. At least be had purchased it for ground pepper. 1 worked on it for several days and found that the pure pepper had been mixed with ground leather of old shoes. There's adul teration for you with a vengeance." "1 worked three weeks once," said Profes sor Stuart, "on a compound which a tobacco merchant brought me. He 6aid the stud; had been used to imitate tobacco. There was burdock, cabbage and a variety of outrun on leaf plant in the 6tuCt. Frequently 1 have analyzed food whose discoloration is due to incipient decomposition; also pinkish pork; sometimes a pinkish color appears in starch kilns, which is due to the growth of fungus." "Did you ever have any explosions f" "Yes, they are quite common. They are liable to occur in testing for arsenic. A mix ture of hydrogen and air will explode. Hy drogen alone will not explode. Beginners do not allow time enough for the air to be dis placed by the hydrogen. J was once experi menting in Oberlin college with a galvanij battery by a new process of estimating the amount of lead in a solution by passing tha current of electricity through the solution. I noticed in the bottom of the flask a little yel low globule iikj oil. I didn't know what it was and asked the professor. Ha i&id ii re sembled chloride of nitrogen, and at once threw the flask out of the window. When it struck the- ground there was an explosion which tore up the earth. Chloride of nitro gen is so extremely explosive that a touch with a feather tip will set it oft. 1 bad unin tentionally and ignorantly formed this destructive agency. Had ic exploded in the laboratory it would have shattered Ihs building. "When anything breaks in a laboratory everybody shouts 'Ave dollars! that is bo cause tbet amount is generally assessed as the penalty which the careless student pays for smashing things. 1 knew a young lady who pursued the study of chemistry under dihl cuities. fcJha was so short of stature she was compelled to stand on a box to work. She had an explosion, and Jumping on" the Lox backward, landed on the back of the male student behind her, who happened to be in a stooping position at the time. When we rescued ner we found her bangs full of ace tate of zinc." "That was an explosion that went off with a bang,' " said Professor Stuart, as he rang the gong which dismissed the class.
