Agreed to. Continuing the morning
hour Sherman asked for the imme
diate consideration of the resolution
offered yesterday that the Senate
proceed to the election of officers,
namely, secretary of the Senate, chief
clerk, principal executive clerk, chap
lain and sergeant-at-arms. Agreed to.
The division was on strict party
lines, Mahone and Riddleborger vot'
ing with the republicans.
.Sherman moved that Anson G. Mc
Cook be chosen secretar' of the
Senate.
Pendleton moved to amend by the
substitution of the name of L. Q.

The main resolution was agreed to
and McCook sworn in.
The remaining republican nominees
were elected as follows : Chief clerk,
Charles W. Johnson, of Minnesota;
executive clerk, James R. Young, of
Pennsylvania; chaplain, Rev. Elias
DeWitt Huntley, of the District ot
Columbia ; sergeat-at-anns,W. P.Cau
aday, of North Carolina.
The following discussion occurred
in the Senate on the 18th inst :
The Senate went into executive
session.
When the doors were re-opened
the Senate went into a committee of
the whole for the purpose of continu
ing consideration of the new rules.
Cameron (Wis.) thought as several
senators were absent consideration of
the new rules had better be postponed
and moved an adjournment. Lost
22 to 27.
The question pending was the adop
tion of the first new rules iu relation
to the election of a president pro tem,
and his right in case of absence to
name a substitute who could perform
the duties of the chair three days.
On motion of Garland a division of
the rule waa agreed to, to permit the
fir6t two clauses which were not ob
jected to, to be voted upon separately.
On the question of agreeing to the
third clause, which gives the vice
president the power of substitution, a
debate arose.
Bayard stated that he had not been
able to discharge his mind of the
grave objections that existed to this
clause, owing to the complications
that might ensue in case of the death
of the president or vice president.
He thought it placed the question of
presidential succession in a dangerous
position. This is a matter iu which
it will not do to say that the weight
of argument rests on one Bide or the
other. It should be placed in 6uch a
position that there is absolutely no
doubt, and he could not 6ee that the
arguments advauced by those who
favored it were at all satisfactory.
Jones (Fla.) aud Blair thought it
dangerous to clothe president pro
tempore with such power.
Maxey remarked that this proposed
clause was a change of a rule that had
been in forco sixty years, and was
practically a departure from the the
ory which the rule defended, for it
was only meant to fit a temporary
necessity, while under the construc
tion now, he held that if the time
could be made three days, it could be
extended to thirty days. Ho opposed
the provision.
Frye, who reported tho cause as
chairman of the committee on rules,
said he could not sec how by any
possibibility the rule could touch the
question of presidential succession,
nor how it raised a constitutional
question, there being no vice-president
of the United States, aud the
vice-president pro tern of the Senate
being necessarily the presiding offi
cer for the next two years. The
question is whether in case of a day's
sickness or a day or two absence the
United States Senate can transact
business without being compelled to
oust him from a place where it has
elected him. Under the rule as it
now stands, if the president of the
Senate takes sick the Senate is obliged,
under the chairmanship of the secre
tary of the Senate, to elect a new
president pro tem, and that president
will be clothed with the powers
which, under the constitution, attach
to the office.
Bayard stated that the constitution
provides that the presidiug officer of
the Senate shall be vice president,
and if the vice president be absent
and cannot nominate his locum
tenencs, the Senate must elect, aud if
the vice president comes back the
next day the senator who temporarily
presides goes out of office ipse facto.
On one occasion the president was in
doubt whether the lact that Henry
Wilson was in the gallery, and so
within the walls, did not vacate the
presidency for the term.
Frye pointed out that in the House
of Representatives the speaker has
power to appoint a substitute for a
period of ten days, and it is never
objected to. He called for a yea and
nay vote on the adoption of the
clause. Objected to.
Ingalls offered the customary reso
lution, aud it was agreed to, that the
President and House ot Representa
tives be notified of the election of the
new secretary of the Senate.
1 Pending a vote on the rule the
Senate adjourned.
On the 18th, Mary Kofford called
on Dr. Rose, a prominent dentist of
Leadville, Col., and made the startling
request that he furnish her with pois
on which could not be detected by an
autopsy and offered him $300 compen
sation, reluctantly admitting that she
wished to get rid of her husband Hans
Kofford, 60 that her husband's broth
er, of whom she was enamored, and
herself might together enjoy the in
surance of $5,500 which her husband
carried. After making an appoint
ment to meet both in his office that
evening, the doctor arranged with the
police and several interested insur
ance men to be present but concealed.
At the interview the whole diabolical
plan was made known and they were
immediately arrested and jailed. Tho
parties are all Danish. The youngest
brother is 60 years of age and the
woman 25.
The supreme court of the United
States has decided that the district

Senator Van Wyck has at last in
troduced a bill to make railroads take
out patents and pay taxes on their
lands. Why did not Senator Van
Wyck work for Valentin's bill on the
same subject, introduced in the honse
a year ago. Republican.
There are none so blind as those
who will not see. Senator Van Wyck
introduced a bill to place Pacific rail
road lands upon the tax-Hat a few
weeks after he first entered the sen
ate. The railroads were exempted
from taxation because their lands
were not patentable until certain sur
vey fees were paid, and by refusing
to pay these fees except on lands they
had actually sold they escaped taxa
tion. The senator proposed in his
bill to waive the right of the govern
ment to exact the' survey fees and
require the land department to issue
patents for the lands that had been
actually earned. Valentine threw a
sop to bis constituents just before the
last congress adjourned, when he
knew that the bill he introduced
would be pigeon-holed in the com
mittee with hundreds of other bills
which could not be reached.
It is a piece of impudence to ask
Senator Van Wyck why ho he did not
take up Valentine's bill. It would be
a great deal more pertinent to ask
why didn't Valentine put through
Vay Wyck's bill for the relief of the
settlers on the St. Joe & Denver lands.
That bill had passed the senate and
got into the house in ample time to
become a law, and it had been called
up by Valentine. Why cant't Valen
tino's six-dollar clerk explain why
his patron saint failed to do his duty
towards the settlers who have since
been compromised by Jim Laird into
paying Kncvals, the land shark, three
dollars and a half an acre? O. Bee.
The Omaha Republican truthfully
says: "There are homesteaders iu
Nebraska who come here twelve years
ago and are still waiting to 'see how
fruit will, grow here.' It is not alone
iu the river counties that fruit docs
well. As far west as Crete, Mr. Ste
phens raises yearly 100. bushels of
cherrie-. As far west as 150 miles,
Mr. Stolley, of Grand Island, has
twelve varieties of grapes doing nice
ly, and Hall county's exhibit of fruit
at the state fairs are among the very
first in quality and quantity. A fruit
farm iu Nemaha county sold the other
day for $10,000. Now is the time to
buy and plant. Each year adds to
the value of growing trees and yines."
And we can add that in York coun
ty we have had a fine exhibit of fruits
this year. Geo. S. Cook raised over
two bushels of the finest grapes on
two vinos that were planted two years
ago last spring. E. M. Chenoy picked
a fabulous number 'of quarts of rasp
berries and strawberries from small
patches of each. John P. Cook gath
ered over a hundred bushels of apples
from his orchard and R. E. Leach also
had a fine lot of apples aud crabs.
Mrs. Hammond had all the currents
she wanted. York Republican.

The editor of the Omaha Republi
can turned prophet in his Wednes
day's issue and gives utterance to the
following prediction relative to our
recent beautiful sunsets :
It will not be long, perhaps, before
the scarcely controlled flames of in
ternal earth will be shooting out at
different points, soon to be followed
by great shafts of fire reaching from
earth to heaven. Then indeed the
spectacle will be grandly beautifnl.
At this time we hope that the sunset-
ular hypothesis ot this journal will be
remembered, and credit be done to the
spirit of iuspirational prophecy which
has suggested it.

What do our Otaildren Read ?
The Journal in a recent issue
quotes from an exchange some timely
remarks about cultivating a taste for
good reading in our children. The
following is an extract from one of
W. F. Parker's (America's foremost
teacher) lectnres :
"A fact very much bemoaned and
bewailed in these times, is, that chil
dren love to read trashy literature:
that they read dime novels, sensa
tional newspapers, and stories like
"The Robber of the Bloody Gulch ; or
The Red Handed Pirate of the Span
ish Main." This unwholesome, and
vicious tendency, is almost wholly
caused, I believe, by the neglect of
school authorities to furnish a gener
ous supply of pure,- interesting litera
ture, to the schools under their charge.
I know a superintendent of schools,
who often waxes eloquent over the
vices engendered by such reading. I
once visited his schools, and found
his pupils learning to spell column
after column, and page after page, of
words one-tenth of which they proba
bly never would use in their lives. I
satisfied myself that these poor vic
tims hardly knew the meaning of one
word, the forms of which they were
struggling over. The money expend
ed for those spelling books would
have purchased a rich supply, of ex
cellent reading; and the time thrown
away in conning that fearful book, if
used in reading the best literature,
would have rendered unnecessary
some of that superintendent's elo
quent and pathetic periods in regard
to tho niltic caused by reading
sensfttionnl woiks. An entire, year of
the little chi'dV life h generally given
to the reading of ouu bo ik, n it much
thicker than my littlo finger. Let a
child read a selection twice or three
times, and ho kuows every word by
heart. He can read his lessou with
the book upside down after that. I
once te'it-d one or the host schools in
this country. The pupils read very
well iitdoed. I asked them to close
their books; and as soon h ihey un
derstood what I wanted, they repeat
ed every word, verbatim, with great
gusto, dimply by my reading one
word, anywhere in the book. They
knew tint book from beginning to
end, and jet, following the course of
stud, they must repeat those words
over and over again, for five long
months! Wo are paying millions of
dollars iu this country for such worse
than stupid repetitions. A class will
read a primary reader through in a
very short time. The cost of a dozen
sario- or books (bought by the school
authorities) is not so great as the
price paid by children, for the readers
of a single series. Every school can
and should have a good library, made
of sets of different books, embracing
the bel readers, works on natural
history adapted to children, such as
Prang's little books, Little Folks iu
Feathers and Fur, Life and her Chil
dren, and The Fairyland of Science,
primary geographies liko Our World
and Guyot's Introduction, histories,
books of travel, poetry, and the best
fiction. In my experience, it is the
easiest of all problems to lead chil
dren to read, and to love to read, the
very best literature. If the hours de
yoted to the spelling-book, to useless
repetition of words already learned,
were spent iu the perusal of the best
books, children would never t'eel tho
necessity for the trash they read,
whose baneful influence is immeas
urable." Teacher.

YOUNG MEN
AVho hyc become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening e uators .with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to ecstacy the living lyre, may call with,

Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification speed-"

confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill a a
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing affliction which ren
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the penalty paid by the victim for
improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not bein"
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understand?
this subject will deny that procreation is Io3t sooner by those falling into improper
habiu than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy off
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms or both mind and body arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss of
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, imli-
