What next; It is a mighty poor newspaper these days tht.t dees not devote several columns to the tariff. It is now announced that Kemmler'will be “electrocuted” on July 1. How he will be shocked! The story of Clarksou’s resignation, and also the story that Capt. Kidd’s treasure has been found, are still going the rounds. The London policemen want more pay, and may go on a strike. They ought to win. They have always been successful strikers. Correspondents still keop the war-cloud hovering over Europe. They have now postponed the grand burst till the end of the year. Representatives under Ruler Reed’s radi cal reform will be served at the bar of the House restaurant with wine in “original packages’’ only. The “original package” decision appears to have done some good in at least one quarter. The New York democrats take the lead, and they evidently intend to keep it. They are organizing a school m Albany on the kindergarten principle for the purpose of teaching qualified electors how to vote under the new ballot reform and registry law of that state. Cleveland liverymen are evidently firm believers In a tariff for revenue only. The Garfield memorial will be unveiled there to-day. and they have fixed the price for hacks for the occasion at S2O a day: Cleve landers must pay if they want to be effu sively enthusiastic. “Bismarck with us again.” exclaims the New York Times, referring to John Keenan, one of the famous “bo die” aider men of six years ago. He came buck from Canada to stay. Will he be punished? Yes, he will probably be re-elected to some office and become a great leader. Richard Croker, the Tammany chief, is on his way home to face his accusers. He is a very sick man, but he values his good name more than his life, and he intends to make Brother-in-Law McCann sing an altogether different tune. The Fassett in vestigating committee would very much like to avoid hearing what Mr. Croker has to say. Chairman Fassett says he is going to California, and cannot wait for Mr. Croker’s arrival. Part of the committee will remain iu New York, however, and Mr. Croker is certain to get a hearing. The republican managers are in desperate straits. Their manufactured majority in the House of Representatives is not alto gether reliable, despite the fact that they unseated two democrats the other day to give their places to a couple of colored men, and in order to increase their margin they have booked for the ax L. W. Turpin, from the Fourth Alabama district. It has been decided by a partisan majority to give his seat to McDuffie, the republican con testant, althougn Turpin’s majority was 33,153 in a total vote of 24,403. The ob ject of this outrage is to spread the slander about southern election outrages, but they will only succeed in proving that they are guilty of another crime against the people and the rights of suffrage. The Hope of the Republican Party. Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, in Chi cago the other day. said: “Tho only hope of the Republican party lies in the passage of its notoiicus national election bill.” There is great deal of truth in this assertion of Gen. Palmer. If the Republican parly felt satisfied that it could elect a majority of the next House of Representatives with out a national election law it is quite cer tain that it would Dot make itself responsible for so unpopular and outrageous a measure. Its only hope, therefore, of continuing in power is a law that puts the control of con - gressional and presidential elections into its ha ds. There is no doubt that it is its intention to pass such law. The republican leaders in congress have been preparing the way for it ever since congress convened. After a few more democrats have been unseated and their places filled with republicans, the election law will be pushed through both Houses as rapidly as gag-law tactics will permit. The republicans pretend, of course, that their purpose in passing a national election law is to sacure fair elections in the south. The truth is, however, that they intend to elect the next congress and the next Presi dent by means of returning boards. The returning boards will be composed of re publicans, and in all close congressional districts the republican candidates will be returned as elected. The immense power which returning boards exerted in the south during the carpet-bag period is not forgotten. In 1876 the returning board of Louisiana changed a majority of about 7,000 'for Tilden to a majority for Hayes, and its act and the acts of other returning boards came near caus ing civil war. There is no doubt that it is the intention of the Republican party to i so the returning boards which it proposes to create just as it used them in the south in 1876, and prior to that date. In its determination to retain control of the government the Republican party is prepared to take any risks and to resort to any means. A national election law will pretty certainly bring about trouble be tween state and national authorities. The people will submit to the majority as in dicated by a fair expression of op nion at the ballot-box, but they will not submit to a republican returning board majority. The Disability Questions. Some of the ablest lawyers in New York have been questioned with regard to the right of the government to insist upon an-wers to questions by cbdsub enumerators relative to mental and physical diseases and farm mortgages. David Dudley Field is quoted as saying that the government has no right to oblige a citizen to answer these questions for census purposes. Under the constitution the government has only the right of enumeration for the purpose of ap portioning representatives and direct taxes. Mr. Field is of the opinion that the act of congress which authorizes the asking of the objectionable questions is clearly unconsti tutional, and that if any one should be arrested for refusing to answer them he would have a good claim for damages. Lawyer William G. Choate takes the same view of the questions as Mr. Field. He declares that he does not intend to inform the census enumerator whether or not be had a chronic disease or whether or not his farm is mortgaged. While many people will not hesitate to answer any questions the enumerators may ask them, however much they may dislike to give the information the questions call for, others will refuse to do so, and it is pretty safe to say that their refusal will not be followed by any unpleasant con sequences. Yesterday in Richmond. The ceremonies connected with the un veiling of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee were of the most impressive character. An account of them is contained in our dis patches this morning. The memory of Gen. Lee occupies a sacred place in every southern heart. He is the ideal southern hero. His ability as a soldier commands admiration, his virtues command love. He is a historical figure tbat will not appear smaller as he recedes down the corridors of time. Accounts of his goodness, kindness and gentleness will be handed down from one generation to another, and thus will his memory be kept fresh in the hearts of the southern people. The oration of Col. Archer Anderson was worthy of the occasion. It was a splendid tribute to the memory of a great soldier and a noble gentleman. Congress will be called upon to deal with the free zone question, an important sub ject which affecis the commercial relations of the Ucited States and Mexico. The free zone is a belt of country on the Mexican side, about twelve and one-balf miles in width, extending along the entire frontier in Matamoras, on the Rio Grande, from near Its entrance into the Gulf, to Tia Juna, on the shore of the Pacific, a distance of 1,800 miles. It affords splendid opportunities for smuggling. By an abuse of a Mexican law known as the zona libre, designed for beneficial purposes, foreign dutiable goods arriving in Mexico over American transportation lines and destined to any part of Mexico may be detained within the zona libre without payment of customs duty to Mexico, having previously passed free through this country. Under this law importers of foreign dutiable goods pass them them through American ports and over American lines of railway to the free zone, and then smuggle the goods back into the United States without payment of duty to either government. A joint commission for the adjustment of the matter has been asked for. Dr. G. S. Justin is the inventor of a dyna mite cartridge upon which be has a patent. He probably calls it the peacemaker, be cause if it should be generally adopted war would become so destructive that nations would hesitate to engage in it. On Tues day, at Terryville, Madison county, N. Y., the doctor gave a public test of his cart ridge. A twelve-ton Blakely rifle of Eng lish make was used. Distinguished people were present and about 1,500 sight-seers. The test was an interesting one. The gun was bursted into a hundred or more pieces, and the pieces were hurled hundreds of yards. No one was injured, but at Terry ville there is not as much desire to seo the peacemaker as there was. Leaders of the Salvation Army are trying to revive interest in their meetings with a band of converted Hindoos, who will hold forth all over the country. As soon as the novelty of this feature is worn off and the public’s curiosity satisfied, the newspapers will be about ready to tell the cause of the decline and fail of the Salvation Army. The days of mountebank religion are over. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1890. Alderman Caraon’e Resolution. There is some satisfaction in knowing that there is one member in the city council who and es not think the caucus system is beneficial to the public interests, and who believes that the people have a right to k ow what their servants are doing. The resolution which Mr. Carson offered in council on Wednesday night, look ing to the discussion of public matters in open council, out to have been adopted without hesitation. There is no good reason why coulcilmen should settle important matters which come before them behind closed doors. Are they afraid to let the public know the reasons which in fluence their action i If they are not, why do they spend so much of the time of their regular meetings in secret session? Alderman Cann is reported to have said that the caucus was a good thing for the public but a 1 ad thing for the newspapers. How is it a good thing for the public? The public would be glad to kuow how it is ben efited by these secret communingsof the council. Why is the caucus a bad thing for the newspapers? Do things take place in the caucus that are startling and sensa tional? If so, the newspapers would like to have them, of course, but if not then we can assure Mr. Cann that the newspapers now get about all they want of the council’s proceedings. If he bad said that the caucus was not to the advantage of the public but was to the advantage of the newspapers he would have come nearer the mark. The people—t'he taxpayers—want to know the reasons which influence the council in its action upon every important matter, and they want to know also how every dollar of the city’s money is disposed of. The newspapers would furnish them with this information if they could get it, but they are not particularly anxious to do so. As already stated, they don’t desire to pub lish any more of the council’s proceedings than they now do. It is true the newspapers have condemned the caucus system because it does not seem to be right to settle the most important public matters in secret, nor is it right to keep the public waiting for two or three hours on the occasions of regular council meetings before a glimpse of the council is obtained. The star chamber system of transacting public business is not popular with the public, however satisfactory it may be to those who practice it. It gives rise to suspicions, often unjust, it is true, and the impression gets abroad that it is a means of keeping the people in ignorance of things which publio servants don’t want them to know. The New York Bank Wreckers. The trials of the New York bank wreck ers, Pell and Claassen, followed close upon their crimes, and as they have both been convicted, the probability is that they will spend a good many years in the peni tentiary. It was mentioned in our dis patches yesterday tbat Claassen was con victed on five counts, and tbat if he got the full penalty on each count his term of im prisonment would be fifty years. It is hardly probable, however, that he will get so severe a sentence as that, but bis term will be long enough, doubtless, to curb any desire he may have to engage in bank wrecking again, should he live through his term. There appears to have been an epidemic of crime recently among men of good finan cial standing, particularly in northern cities. In Philadelphia the other day it was discovered that one of the best known banks had been wrecked by men who stood well in that city, and not more than a couple of weeks ago the discovery that a bank in Albany, N. Y., had been ruined by one of its officers, acting in col lusion with some of its patrons, was made. If tho record of defal cations and embezzlements iu this country for a single month were published it would cause astonishment. It would show an amount of crime am ng people who hold high social and financial positions almost beyond belief. There are so many ins;ances of criminal conduct in the financial world, and they follow one another so rapidly in the newspapers, that the public ceases to be impressed by them. It is gratifying tbat the courts are act ing so promptly and vigorously with this class of offenders. Now that Canada’s doors are closed against criminals from this country the probability is tbat there will be a decrease in crime among the class of men who have the handling of large sums of money, if the courts enforce the laws against this class of criminals as vig orously and swiftly as they do against petty thieves. It is worthy of notice that embezzlers and “boodlers” get very little satisfaction out of their ill-gotten gains. The New York aldermen who were accused of being bribed, and who fled to Canada, are now returning, and will stand a trial on the charges against them. They would rather return to their old haunts and risk being sent to prison than remain longer in Canada. The first results of the present census in relati on to state and local finance have been made public. The tables prepared show a decrease in the bonded debt of states since 1880 of $64,083,249 63, and an increase of the floating debt of $9,623,764 72, the net decrease of indebtedness being $54,459,484 91. The bonded debt of the United States has decreased from $1,709,993,100in 1880 tosTl9,- 178,570 in 1890. The total bonded debt of the United States and the several state* has decreased in the same time from $1,969,030,- 556 56 to $914,132,776 93. The returns from counties in the United States and territo ries show an increase in bonded debt from $104,493,752 78 in 1880 to $130,734,959 41 in 1890, and an increase in gross debt from $121,239,084 48 in 1880 to $145,693,840 51 iu 1890. This is certainly a good showing, and an evidence of general prosperity. The debts of nearly every state, except the new states, have decreased, and the increase in them is accounted for because of the heavy expenditures involved in the change from a territorial to a state government. It now turns out that the attempt to acquire Lower California was a scheme concocted by designing politicians, who are ambitious to prefix to their names a title like governor, senator or congressman, and who want California divided so that Los Angeles can become a capital. There are rich senatorial aspirants in Lower Cali fornia who would be willing to support an entire colony of revolutionists for the sake of gratifying their ambitions. New York is startled over the story of the purchase of a Chinese girl for S6OO, and held in slavery in a Mott street den. Deal ing iu human chattels for immoral purposes is one of the institutions tbat the Chinese have introduced on the Pacific coast, where such cases are of daily occurrence. Tli* only wav to stop it is the rigid enforcement of tte exclusion laws. PERSONAL Mirr fc-oßtst e Nightingale has completed her 70th year, and her sister, the wile of Sir Harry Verney, has just died.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado receives $50,- 000 per year as attorney for railroads, steam and street, in bis state, while drawing $5,000 as senator. H. M. Stanley, in a recent speech in London, described Emin Pasha as ''small, fair, specta cled, fezzed. undecided, and dressed in immacu late white." Senator 6eeps of Delaware county, lowa, declines to stand as a candidate for secretary of state. The agricultural bureau would seem to about fit him. Senator Culi/wi is said to wear his hair and beard exactly as Lincoln did. He is supposed to do this to intensify bis striking resemblance to the mar.yr President. Miss Sab ah Orn* Jewett's literary work has been interrupted this spring by a severe illness, from which, however, she is now fast recover ing at South Berwick, Me. It is announced that Rochefort intends to re main in London, which city he likes very much. He has no intention of running foul of the r rench authorities again. Princess Victoria, a sister of the young Emperor of Germany, has decided to pass her life in single blessedness, and will 6et up an establishment ofter own in London. Recorder Smyth, the terror of New York evil-doers, is a keen-featured, clean-shaven man of rather sinister expression, with a gray fringe of chin whiskers, arid suffers his back hair to turn over on his collar. ‘‘Uncle Jerry” Rcsk is a striking figure when he appears in the blue room of the white house. He is not enamor dof formal ceremo nies, and confesses privately that he fidgets when he i nds himself in fine clothes. John W. Rolcson, champion expert tele grapher of America, died at the Methodist Epis copal Hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y.. on Thursday afternoon, from injuries received in having been thrown from a bicycle on Saturday last.

How One Man Proposed. “I was very much amused at the article pub lished a few days ago on ’How Girls Are Pro posed To,’" said a good-looking stranger to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter. “I think the way I proposed was unique, and the time and metbod a little more novel t hau the methods the fellows In tbat article adopted. “It was a case of love at first sight, but the girl didn't know how I felt, neither was I sure that she cared a continental for me. She was a modest, retiring, bashful little thing, and while I wanted to tell her how much I thought of her, I was afraid to. "One Sunday night, the fourth time I had called, I made up my mind fully that I u’anted her. But she was so shy I thought it would frighten her away if I spoke. About 10 o’clock I proposed a game of cards, and, in a joke. I suggest ’d that we play for a wager, and that aha put herself up against me. She modestly consented. "1 thought I was going to lose and I knew if I did it was a last chance, even If it was a joke. Wei), I won, aud told her with a laugh she be longed to me. After sitting and looking at each other for a few moments I took her hand and said she must always pay her losses, and tbat the baml I held was mine. She looked at me with a smile and said quietly: “ ‘Well, if you want it you can have it.’ “I won that girl by a game of cards on Sun day, but we neither have ever regretted the violating of the fourth commandment. Perhaps my method may help some other bashful couple.” Struck It Rich. Newspaper men have a large amount of— well, self-possession, says the Washington Post. It is a necessary part of the business. The man who is backward about coming forward, who is easily rebuffed and thrown off his guard, has not the requisite stamina for the profession. One of the boys on the row relates an episode of his career on a Chicago newspaper. "There was a fresh youngster.” sai 1 he,‘‘who got an engagement to report a prize fight. He went, wrote up a blood-curdling thirty-six round slug ging match, turned in his copy, and drew $27 for expenses. His paper had a gilt edged scoop, for aii the other papers declared that the fight had not come off at all. It hadn’t either, and Jack had ’worked" the business office for a fake. It looked blue for him. His act was, in plain English, obtaining money under false pretenses, but he got off with a plain bounce. I didn't see any thing more of him for a month. Then I struck him on Clark street elegantly togged out and rolliug in wealth. ” ‘Say, old boy.' said he, ‘l've struck it rich. After I resigned (?) I hung around a dime mu seum and caught o i tbe way two-headed chick ens are made. I’ve gone into the business. I can turn out three two-headed chickens a week a.d get SSO apieoe for them and can’t begin to supply the demand.

You do not need heavy food such as you require during the winter. Spr.ng may be beautiful, but it is treacher ous. Do not let it deceive you into a cold, a fever, malaria or pneumonia. Do not throw off your winter flannels too early. It is better to suffer a little inconve nience than to take cold. If you feel tired, feverish or over heated, do not rush off and take “spring medicines.” Cool yourself down, and in this way help your sys tem and purify your blood. If you feel hot and thirsty, do not drink large quantities of water or other "long" drinks. It is much be ter to take a little pure whisky and water, which will quench the thirst, tone the system, and fortify against disease Remember that only pure wnisky should ever be taken into the system, and that the leading chemists and scientists of the present day unite in declaring that Duffy's Pure Malt is absolutely the purest aud best. _ ___ MEDICAL CURE Sick Headache and relieve all the troubles inci dent to a bilious state of the system, such as Dizziness, Nausea.
