Indiana, he says, is in the democratic column to stay. In the next House what the democrats have to dois to avoid partisan legislation and to practice econ- sal, and conservative.

They may not agree wi him on _ the ailver question, but notwithstanding that they are for him, To with them would convince any one that Cleveland has the hearts of the democrats of the west. They talk of no one else for "92. THE FARMERS’ ALLIANOF. Speaking of the Farmers’ Alliance, Mr. By- num said that as a separate party it would not figure. The interests of the alliance lay with the democrats; their principles were mostly democratic and whatever they accomplished must be through the democratic party. Mr. Bynum says that the democrats should go back to their old rules and should treat the republican minority with the greatest fairness and liberality, MR. WANAMAKER CRITICISED. A Sabbatarian Blames Him for the Sun- day Mail Service. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Pittsburg says: At today’s session of the Sabbath Association of western Pennsylvania President Harrison and Postmaster General Wanamaker were severely criticised. A reso- lution had been reported providing for the dis- ciplining of church members who in any way are connected with Sunday newspapers, as well as those who advertise in such Sunday publica- tions, Rev. Dr. George of Beaver Falls, in commenting on the resolution, said: SUNDAY MAILS CONDEMNED. * “Lam in favor of that resolution, but it does not go far enough. We all know that the Sun- day newspaper is # great evil and that ite pub- lisbers and those who sell it as well as those who advertise in it are in many cases promi- nently identified with church work. Such persons should be subjected to the most rigid church discipline. But fet us not overlook an evil which, to my mind, is far more gigentic than the Sun- day newspaper, I refer to the United States mail service, which is operated openly on the Sabbath. At the head of the service man who has long been identified with church workas the teacher of a Bible cl: is looked upon as # conseientiou: Christian, Mr. Wanamaker knows ing consistently as a Presbyterian elder, he cannot help but know it. Hence I am in favor of beginning the work of discipline in high-up places. It will then be time enough to take up the lesser evils.” ‘ A delegate began censuring the President of the United States for exerting a bad influence by traveling on Sunday, when Dr. Crafts said: “My dear brother, you are mistaken. Our resent President does not violate the Sabbath ling on ¢ . Mr. Harrison may not have been guilty of such Sabbath desecration, but I know that President Cleveland did start on some of his jaunts on the Lord's day,” was the by, ah D day. Crafts said: “Oh, that’s different. I trust the brother will excuse me for intorrupt- ing him.” THIS CITY AS A GAMBLING RESORT. In speaking of theefforts to get Sunday laws for the government of the District of Colum- bia Dr. Crafts said that asa gambling resort Washington stands next to New Orleans. He advised the renewal of all petitions toCon- gress. “When we get through here,” con- tinued the speaker. “let us call a union meeting. Let there be a unanim- ity of _ opinion, Let us send uw an appeal against Sunday violation lou enough tobe heard all over the land. We should do all we can to educate the people on this subject. Let our petitions be classified so that when they are presented to Congress they will have some weight. The odd style of mis- cellaneous petition is scarcely worth the paper they are printed on. eo TO CUT DOWN APPRUPRIATIONS. Mr. Sayers Says That Will Be the Demo- cratic Duty in the Next Congress. Representative Sayers, who is the democratic expert on the appropriations committee, where he holds about the same position that Mr. | Randall used to hold, is concerned about the enormous obligations which have been in- curred under this congress and believes that the democrats will havea heavy burden to bear in the Fifty-second Congress, coming as a legacy from this, The democrats will, he says, have to practice the most rigid economy,cutting down expéndi- tures where ever they can. In the present con- dition of the government funds he finds a fulfillment of his predictions made early last session. He says that the democrats have a great responsibility to carry with their vietory, and that they will have to exer- cise great wisdom in their manage- ment of affsirs in the next House. He thinks the Farmers’ Alliance will be merged in the democratic party, because the farmers can get more rehef through that party. There must be no partisan _legis- lation and no attempt at partisan management in the House. The duty of the democrats will be, he says, to cut down appropriations as low as to pass a bill for the free coinage of silver promptly and passa tariff bill which will give the relief the people demand. Put these things right at the republican Senate, he says, and then see what they will do. Ifa convention were held now, he thinks, M: Cleveland would be nominated for the presi dency by the democrate, He can’t judge of what may happen in two years. The south is now for Cleveland, —--— PREPARING THE LYMPH. How Dr. Koch’s Wonderful Remedy is Made and Used. Berux, Nov. 20.—The Frankfort Courier states that the lymph used by Prof. Koch for the cure of tuberculosis is prepared in an incubating stove within a space that is hermeti- cally sealed and sterilized and thereby rendered free from fungus. The interior of the air-tight space is divided by an unglazed porcelain dia- phragm into an upper and jower section. In the bs ted section is placed a salted meat broth in a giatinous state containing colonies of the tu- bercule germ. This mass gradually liqui- fies and the gelatine liquid drops slowly through the [ sy Snecg plate into the lower section. The liquid then contains all the secretory products, but is free from all living or dead germs or re- productive spores and is the hides as used, By the injection of the lymph the tubercle germ 1s killed and atthe same time the injected particles retain sufficient strength to detach and expel the dead germs. together with the dead tissue. The reparative process ensues and healing follows. ———.—_ FAILED FOR $3,000,000. The Well-Informed Prepared for the Barker Suspension. New Yoru, Nov. 20.—A dispatch from Phila- delphia says in regard to the Barker failure this morning: ‘The suspension was not much ofa surprise to the well-informed, as the firm's credit has been poor for the past two months.

JUDGE JAMES DID NOT GIVE A FORMAL OPIN- 1ON—HIS REMARKS, HOWEVER, ARE ACCEPTED 48 LAW BY THE LEGAL ADVISERS OF THE DIe- TRICT—SITUATION AT THE DISTRICT BUILDING. The statement as to the ruling in the case of Bush against Gheenet al., affecting the legality of actions by the District Commissioners when only two members of the board are present and acting, has caused considerable comment. Judge James states, however, that what he said in the hearing was not intended as a ruling and that the case is held in abeyance. The coun- eel, who supposed he ruled on the case, mis- understood him. The hearing was at chambers and after the papers had been read Mr. Cahill made the point as to the legality of the am ment made to the building regulations and then the subject was discussed in a conversa- tional manner by Mr. Worthington for Mr. Gheen, Mr. Thomas for the District and Mr. Cook, who appeared with Mr. Cabiil for the complainants. During this conversation Judge James produced the opinion of Attorney Gen- eral Brewster and said that that meant that the action must be of the full board of Com- missioners to be legal At this point Mr. Worthington said that he proposed to amend the bill and asked leave to do so, stating that thre were several matters he wiehed to put in. ‘Leave was given and the case went over. The question raised regarding the power of two Commitsioners, the third being absent, has not, it is said, reached a formal decision. One of the counsel in the case said today the point would probably be made again in some other case and it be ruled upon. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ VIEWS. Speaking to a Star reporter this morning of the point raised inthe Gheen case, Commis- sioner Douglass said: ‘I understand the point to be that three must be present for consulta- tion and action, but that a majority two may, under such circumatances,constitute the action. Mr. Brewster's opinion was to thin effect. I don’t think there can be any trouble except when by reason of sickness or other pro- longed absence the third signature cannot be speedily had. There is a doctrine known to the law under the Latin phrase of nune pro tune which the courts have instituted and enforced to accommodate just such trou- blewome emergencies in human affairs that I think can be appealed to to help us out of the present fix. But of course we don’t want avy more presumptions or legal fictions whero rights and duties of the importance that Dis- trict affairs assume. either in view of the pub- lic interests or thove of a private kind, such as contractors have, or others doing business with the municipality, are involved than can be helped. Weare thinking the matter over seriously and cousulting about the emergency, | Corn, harey Giventor and what is best to do, and will soon conciude 80 far as we are concerned. I don’t care to dis- cuss more in detail,” he said, ‘‘what the result may be, because, you know, there are any people in this world who don’t appreciate the status until told. That was the case of the plantiff who, crying aloud in court during the address to the jury of his lawycr, was asked by the judge what the sudden feeling meant, re- plied that he didn’t know before how badly he had been treated.” SHOULD BE SETTLED BEYOND QUESTION. Commissioner Ross said: “I am informed by one of the leading counsel in the case recently heard by Mr. Justice James that he decided nothing with regard to the matter referred to; that he merely handed to the counsel in the case a volume containing an opinion of Attorney General Brewster to the effect as set forth in the newspapers, and that the question whether the Board of Comm: is present before it can legally decide anything or canact when quorum is present has not been judicially considered, much less deter- mined, still the matter is of vast import- ance to every business interest of the District that there should be no doubt with regard to it and it should be settled beyond a question cither by judicial decision or by legislative enactment at the very earliest possible moment,” § & THE SITUATION. At the district building the situation is prac- tically the same as if Judge James had form- ally decided the point. Mr. Thomas, the assistant attorney of the District who, asa representative of the District officials partici- pated in the hearing before Judge James has advised the Commissioners of what was said by the judge = in =the case and has counselled’ them to regard as law the opinion of Attorney General Brewster quoted by the judge. Mr. Thomas, some months ago, cautioned the Commissioners on this point. Mr. Thomas, speaking to a Stan reporter to- day, said the judge, while not delivering a formal opinion, undoubtedly expressed his ve- lief that the law was correctly stated in Mr. opinion. Mr. Thomas said that this was bis own view of the case, and as soon as the judge intimated what his decision might be Mr. Worthington withdrew his case. Mr. Thomas said that the judge did not dis- cuss the question as to whether all the Com- missioners being present unanimous consent wasrequired to make an act valid. This, in his own opinion, was not the law. and it was not so held by the Attorney General. The public hada right to Jomt decission of all three Commissioners ina matter, but when they had consulted a majority of the Commissioners controlled. Mr. Thomas likened the case to that of acourt of three judges, where all three must be present and hear the case, though the agreement of two of them would be sufficient for rendering # valid opinion, ‘The Commissioners. he said, had been ex- tremely carefuland it was doubtful whether any act could be found that could be upset on the grounds indicated in Mr. Brewster's opin- ion, In the case of liquor licenses he thought the approval of applications by two Commissioners would practically cover the cases as the applicants themselves would not be likely to dispute. Where appli- cations are rejected by two Commissioners act- ing without the third the applicants might dis- pute the validity of the act, but the only effect would be to postpone action on theso cases eee would be a full meeting of the rr Col. Roberts is still so ill that he cannot be consulted on business and the situation is some- what embarrassing. —--——__ Ladies Helped the Democrats. ‘Mr. Coggswell says there is much truth in the theory that the ladies won this election for the democrats, The fictitions advance of prices after the passage of the tariff bill, he said, frightened the | good people of Massachusetts. The women went shopping and then came home and com- plained to their husbands of the Mchinley pricea, That didit. He thinks many republicans voted with the democrats, and that thousands of others purposely stayed home from the polls.

Dixon never won the cham- pionship. If you still say he did please ex- plain how he did it. ‘The people on the stage at once recognized Cal McCarthy asthe speaker. There was an awkward pause for a moment, for it was plain that Cal “had ‘em on the hip.” As for McCar- thy he —, es for a reply. n At length the manager replied: “Dixon | fought Nune Wallace in England for the chum- pionship and won it. You never fought for a champiouship.” returned the Jerseyman, in a surprised tone. “My dear sir, it becomes plainer and plainer that you are uot posted on current boxing history. “My first professional match was with Eugene Hornbacher, the then universally recognized American champion, at 114-115 pounds, and that and every subsequent contest that I have engaged in has been for the champiouship, as expressly stated im the ar- ticles of agreement. Why, ask Dixon bitnself | | if he didn’t meet me for the championship. I | have never refused to meet a man who offered | | himself, and have never been defeated. Now, could Dixon have contested for the world’s | championship with Wailace when neither was | the champion of America?
