The American Forestry Association is
sending petitions to Congress asking for
the passage of an act withdrawing tem
porarily from sale all distinctively forest
lands belonging to the National Govern
ment, until a commission shall have de
cided how much of these lands should
be reserved permanently in forest. In
view of the great value of forests to the
surrounding country, the New York

suggestion.
Running is the great beautifier of fig
ure and movetaent. Running give*
muscular development, strong heart ac
tion and free lung play. The muscle
comes where it ought to be, the shoulders
go back, the loins hold the trunk well
balanced, and the feet take their correct
positions. It was running which made
the Greek figure. The more active tribes
of American Indians have been runners
from time immemorial, and from the
chest to the heels they are much more
beautifully built than the average of white
men. Running people have usually the
firm but elastic texture of flesh, which u
the beauty of flesh.
The Chicago police seems, to the New
York Telegram. , to be an extraordinary
body. Oi e detective is serving a life
sentence for his part in the conspiracy to
murder Dr. Cronin. Another is charged
with betraying the secrets of the De.
partment in the matter of an Anarchisl
spy in the pay of the police. Tins was
done to purchase Isnicncy from An
archists who insisted on his dismissal
from the force for assaulting a man at
one of their meetings, the story runs.
Between such police and the Anarchists
life in Chicago doos not seem to bo much
safer than it would be among the cow
boys or on the frontier.
According to the report of the lust in
ternational convention of the societies
for the prevention of cruelty to animals,
there are 581 legally recognized organiza
tions in the world for the protection oi
animals. One hundred and eighty-five
of them are in Germany, 179 in Great
Britain, ninety-six in the United States,
twenty in Switzerland, fifteen in Austro-
Hungary, twelve in Canada, nine each io
Italy, France, and Russia; six in Norwny-
Swedeu, five in Holland, four each in
Spain, South Africa, and the West

The report that the Scandinavians in
Utah are rapidly leaving the Mormon
Church is probably not exaggerated.
These people, observes the San Francisco
Chronicle, as naturally as moral as they
are industrious, and they are secured by
the Mormon elders as colonists simply
because they hope to get homes of their
>wn. When the enormity of Mormon
ism is fully presented to them they are
pretty sure to abandon the doctrines of
the Saints. Such a revival as is now
being carried on in various parts of Utah
will be anathematized by the Mormons,
but. in the opinion of that paper, the
general public will rejoice over it, as it
means the addition of a number of good
citizens to the Territory.
The inoculation theory is steadily tak
ing a firmer hold upon the medical pro
fession, and as a consequence numerous
suggestions looking to the prevention of
contagious diseases are constantly being
made. One of the most recent of these
emanates from Dr. F. A. Perroux, of
Calcutta, India, who argues that the
venom of the deadly cobra injected into
the human system will prevent cholera.
Dr. Perroux states that ‘-cholera is caused
by the withdrawal of animal venom (one
of the normal constituents of blood)
from the general circulation,” and that
this condition must terminate 1 ‘on the
artificial of suitable animal venom (such
as cobra poison) in the blood, since by
that complementary addition human
blood resumes its normal condition.”
The doctor has sent to the United States
Burgeon-Genera! r. box containing the
poison extracted from fourteen cobras,
and requests him to make the experiment
in case cholera ever threatens os

APPOINTMENTS BY PRESIDENT HARRISON—
MEASURES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
AND ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST.
The third democrat was unseated on
Wednesday to make room for a republi
can. This time Mr. Cntc, of Arkansas,
was the unfortunate one. Featherstou,
the contestant, was at once sworn in.
Many republicans admitted bis election
There were, indeed, a half dozen who
absented themselves to prevent being
forced to vote against their moral eonvic
tions. Consequently the republican ina
jority was very small, although only one
republican, Hitt, of Illinois, anew man,
voted with the democrats. On the first
vote, calling the previous question,
the vote stood 144 to 14)
or three republican majority.
There were ten democrats absent without
excuse or pairs. Six arc from New York,
two from South Carolina, one from Ten
i.,essce and one from Ohio. The demo
crats claim that had these men been in
their seats Cute .would not have been
turned out. The vote declaring Cate not
elected was—yelte, 147; nays, 148; and
Fesiherstone was seated by a vote of
yeas 145, nays 185, and the oath of office
was administered to him by the speaker.
The next case to be taken up is the
Mudd-Compton contest from Maryland.
The house committee on agriculture set
apart its session on Wednesday to hear
members of congress who desired to speak
upon the bills pending before the com
mittee to regulate the manufacture and
sale of compound lard, ltepresentativc
Stewart, of Georgia, read a letter from W.
L. Peck, president of the Farmers’ Alli
ance of Georgia, in whiehjhe says: “Mr.
Hatch has no authority to say that the
Alliance in Georgia wants such a bill ue
you speak of. Of course it would ruin
the oil mill industry in the South, and
damage us alcout $28,000,000 annually.
It would reduce the price of lard so as to
work grent hardships to poor people. You
can rest assured that Georgia wants no
such measure passed.” Representative
Morgan, of Mississippi, a member of the
committee, said he was a member of the
Fanners’ Alliance, and knew that the or
ganization in the southern States does not
desire the legislation proposed in the Con
ger and IJutterworth hills. They are in
favor of a geucrnl pure food bill. The
passage of the Conger bill would take
bread and meat out of the mouths of the
people.
The senate on Wednesday took up the
Blair educational bill Mr. Barbour
addressed the senate in advocacy of the hill.
He spoke of the great interc-t w hich the
people took iu that measure, and said that
it had been favored in the plat
form of both political parties in
that state. It was of the deepest interest
to the people of Virginia, who had
done as much for the sake of education
ns the people of any other State. They
had expended about sl9, 000,000 for that
purpose, itnd had given $5,000,000 to cd
ncate the colored children, which the
general government had put upon, not
only ns citiz.ens, but as sovereigns. He
was surprised at the lack of interest on
the subject shown by the senate, and was
astonished nt the Southern Senators’ oppo
sition.
The senate consumed all day Thursday
in a “dark lantern" sission, discussing
what was best to do with newspaper cor
respondents who persisted in printing
their secret session news. The idea of
jailing the correspondents unless they
will tell the source of their informs
tion, has practically been abandoned.
Dozens of other suggestions were made,
and nearly every senator present, had a
word to say, but all propositions were
voted down, and adjournment was again
had without a decision upon any plan.
As matters now stand, many senators are
very much annoyed. Indeed, they are
angry, but there seems only one solution,
the abolishment of “dark lantern” ses
sions.
In the house, on Friday morning, Mr.
Haugen, of the committee on elections,
i ( ported a resolution in the Alabama con
tested election case of Threet vs. Clark.
The resolution, which was unanimously
reported, declared Clark entitled to retain
his seat. It was adopted. The house
then went into coinmitto of the whole on
the piivate calendar. The house in its
evening session passed fifty piivate pen
sion bills and adjourned.
After the usual morning business on
Friday in the way of the presentation of
petitions and of the introduction and re
porting of bills, the senate proceeded to
the consideration of bills on the calendar.
Public buildings on the calendar having
been reached, the following were passed:
For Sterling, Ills.,$T>0,000; Oakland,Cal.,
s3oo,ooo;Chyonne, Wv0..5150,000; Ches
ter, Pa.,$100,000; Helena. Mt., $400,000.
The senator from New Hampshire Mr.
Blair again attacked the press of the
country. He went on to speak of the
Bonton Herald, BodtoU Glide, and New
York Tribune ns being against his ednes
lional bill, and said that every democratic
paper in New York advocated it, mean
ing in that connection, the Herald, Time*,
World and Evening Fo*t. After a short
“xecutive session, the senate adjourned
till Monday.
In the house on Saturday Mr. Mc-
Creary, of Kentucky, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported a resolu
tion requesting from the president any
correspondence with the Mexican gov
ernment In regard to the employment in
the regular army of the United States oi
Indian scouts for the purpose of pur
suing hostile Indians in their raids into
territories of the United States; and any
correspcndece in regard to the proposed
transfer of the Apache and
Chiricahua Indians from Mount
Vernon barracks Alabama. to
Fort Hill, Indian Territory. Adopted . .
The morning hour was consumed in tin
discussion of the bill providing for the
compulsory attendance of witnesses be
fore registers and receiver? of land offices,
which was passed. The house then, in
committee of the whole, resumed consid
eration of public building measures. A
groat Dumber of bills for public
building were called up and discussed.
The committee then arose and reported
the bills to the house, which immediately
found itself in a small deadlock. There
was n<> Quorum to pass the bills. Pend
ing further discussion the house ad
journed.
The senate committee on privileges and
ejections, after along session on Satur

Congressman Baker, of New York,gave
notice Wednesday that in a few days he
would call up the bills for the admission
if Wyoming and Idaho. The democrats
want to bring in New Mexico and Arizo

The sub-committee on the world’s fair

meeting. The Chicago visiting delega

Representative Taylor, of Illinois, on
Thursday, introduced in the house a bill
:o provide for the establishment of a sys

of the government nnd the |>eople, and to
be operated as a part of the postal system.
It provides that a hoard,consisting of the
Secretary of State, Secretary of War and

is the opinion such are needful to the pur

The direct tax bill was, on Friday, re
ported back to the house from the judi
ciary committee, accompanied by major
ity and minority reports. The majority
report says thut the views on the bill last
year meet the approval of the. majority,
and are adopted by them in reporting
the bill back this year. The minority
report says that the veto message of ex-
Prc sident Cleveland is so accurate and
lucid in statement, so cogeut in reason
ing and logical in d(Auction, that the
minority adopts it as expressing their
views on the bill.
There is a great scramble being made
by various companies all over the country
to secure the control of the seal fur fishe
ries in the Bob ring sea. The government
lias opened the bids for the control of
these fisheries for the next twenty years.
It allows 80,000 seals to be killed annu
ally. The Alaska Seal Fur company has
controlled it for twenty years past. They
arc among the score of bidders this time.
Their profits for twenty years have been
909 per cent annually, consequently the
great scramble and large number of
bidders.
Senator Alison, (he great republican
tariff leader, created a sensation in polit
ical circles, oh Friday, by coming out in
an interview in which he plainly and dis
tinctly goes bock on the leading feature
of the republican platform outlined iu
the Chicago convention. He says: “You
may say that lam in favor of a deep cut
on sugar. 1 w ill not snv that 1 favor the
abolition of the duty and the payment of
a bounty. As to tobacco, you may say
that 1 will vote to abolish the tax on it
very reluctantly. We will have a hard
time explaining the duty on a great many
necessities, if we abolish the duty on
this great luxury.”
The Pan-American conference has
finally adopted the report of the com
mittee on international law. Majority
and minority reports were made by the
committee on customs union. The ma
jority say that the establishment of a
customs union, as generally understood,
would require not only a partial sacrifice
of national sovereignty of the American
nations, but more radical changes in their
respective constitutions than they are
willing to accept. The majority, there
fore, deem the adoption of a customs
union as impracticable. They propose to
recommend, however, to such of the
governments as may desire partial recip
rocity, to make commercial treaties with
one or more of the American countries
under such basis as may be accepted in
each case. The minority report recom
meeds the rejection of the w-hole subject.

The shares are fixed at $25 each, to be
paid in five annunl installments.
A few men join the Alliance through
speculative motives, and because they

The Plain Speaker, of Orangeburg, 8.

It would be a shame upon the part ol
those who have gone into the Alliance tc

each member ask himself this question
“If every member of the Alliance should
act as I do, would it be a success ?” Ii
you are one of those weak-kneed sort yon

The attempt being made by lard pro
ducers to put a tax upon the compound,
or cotton oil lard, is, an unjust measure
and should be defeated. The alleged sup
port of Southern Alliancemen to this
measure is fa we. They are perfectly wil
ling that manufacturers of compound lard
should be made to put a t unmistakable
brand upon it, so that the people may
know what they are using, and may be
able to see the superiority of compound
or cotton oil lard over the so-called pure
lard; but they will never favor this pro
duct bearing a special tax and being
driven out of the market.
The following preamble and resolu
tions were adopted by the DeKalb, coun
ty, Ga., Alliance:
Whereas, The alliance mo /ement is not
designed to advance the interest of one
man, or of a few men, but of doing the
greatest good to the greatest number; and
Whereas, It is not a political organi
zation, after the “loaves and fishes of
office” and the “spoils,” but giander,
nobler and higher in its aims and pur
poses, with the motto flying at its mast
head “principles not men,” but. men with
principles in unison with ours.
Resolved, That while there is no in
hibition on members of the Alliance
from running for or accepting any office
within the gift of their fellow-citizens,
we unhesitatingly condemn the idea that
any office of the alliance can use that of
fice to the advancing of his private ]>o
litical ends and his candidacy for any of
fice from bailiff to governor; that we draw
the line between a man bearing aloft the
alliance banner as its chosen champion for
the advancement of its principles, and
one simply using the alliance as a step
ping stone to place and power.
Resolved, That we condemn any such
practice and deprecate any such action
tending to corrupt and degrade oiv
movement.

The liquor committee of the legislature re

A GREAT SCHEME.
rOR THE RELIEF or THE FARMER-SERE
TOR vance’s BILL.
Senator Zeb Vance, of North Carolina,
has introduced into the upper house of
congress a novel bill, intended as a relief
measure for the farmers. Briefly outlined
the bill appropriates $50,000,000 for the
erection of agricultural depositories or
irsrehouse* in each county in the United
States where the sheriff and clerk of such
county may certify that the average gross
amount per annum of cotton, wheat,
corn, oats and tobacco produced and sold
in the county for the last preced
ing two years exceeds the sum
of $500,000 at current prices.
The scheme is to allow owners of cotton,
corn, etc., to deposit the same in the
warehouse nearest the point or produc
tion, and receive therefor treasury notes
equal at the of deposit to eighty per
centum of the net value of such products,
based on prices current in the leading
cotton, tobacco and grain markets of the
United States. The bill authorizes the
secretary of the treasury to prepare treas
ury notes in such amounts as may be re
quired to do business, but no notes so
prepared are to be of less denomination
than one dollar or greater than SIO.OO.
These notes are made receivable for cus
toms, and are to be legal tender for all
debts, both private and public.
The main object of the bill is to have the
government lend money to the farmers at
the low interest of one percentum per
annum. It will allow a fanner to hold
his goods, if he cares to, for a better
market without paying the enormous
rates charged by banks and unlicensed
money lenders. It heads off all trusts
and combinations, and if it could become
a law the supposition is that peace and
plenty, if not luxury, would ones rnori
obtain throughout the land.
A BAND OF INCENDIARIEB.
A MOONSHINE ORGANIZATION DISCOVERED
IN PICKENS COUNTY, GA.
A moonshine organization has been un
earthed in Pickens county, Georgia,
whose members are bound together by
•olcmn oath for the protection of its its
members, and the punishment of inform
ers. “The honest man’s friend and pro
tector,” is the tittle of the organization,and
on its roll are twenty-seven sworn mem
bers. It has been in existence about a
year and already a number of crimes are
charged to its account, the latest the burn
ing of three houses within the past two
months. The burning of a government
distillery is also charged to this band.
The prime object of the organization is
the driving out of the county all who are
jupposed to have been guilty of the of
fense of giving information to the revenue
officers end also for the purpose of in
timidating witnesses. For some months
past the revenue officers have suspected
the existence of the clan, or a moonshine
brotherhood of some sort. Active rueas
ires, however, were directed to the fer
reting out of the members and theii
strength until last December, when the
revenue officers and county officers com
bined to bring the offenders to justice and
effectually break up their organization.
The ring-leader and eleven of his asso
ciates are now in jail charged with arson
and conspiracy, and the names of all
other suspected members are in the pos
session of the officers. Two of the mem
bers of the clan have turned states evi
dence, appearing before the United States
district court at Atlanta, Ga., on
Wednesday, when the whole history and
workings of the organization were con
fessed.

My motner nas naa a cougn ror twen
ty years, pneumonia leaving her with a
bronchial trouble. Two years ago, he.
- lungs becoming involved, she became
very much emaciated and lost all
strength, being under regular treatment
of a physician and taking medicine all
the hours of the day. This continued
until a year ago when I saw your adver
tisement of Acker’B English Remedy for
consumption and procured a bottle, as
the tickling in her throat was unremit
ting and so irritating as to make talking
imnracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured
and wo now buy by the case, she nevei
being without it. She has no physician
and takes no other medicines. She re
marked lately that If she had not pru
cured It when she did she would bo dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any
one desiring further particulars will ad
dress me with a stamp I will answer
with pleasure, as I deem it the besi
medicine made. A trial only is neees
*ar7 to convince any one of its merits.
