SSS Se A WasHrNeTon dispatch teils us that Senator Davisis becoming im- mensely unpopular ‘‘wid de push,’: politically, in and out of Washington, because of his inactivity relative to federal appointments. His probable defeat two years hence is speculated upon. : the black Republicans stood a good chance of electing a United States senator, un- uil the candidate was indictg1 by the grand jury. 1t was proven satisfac- lorily that the Republican aspirant for senatorial honors tried to buy votes enough to elect him. As MIGHT be expected tbe .Missis-} sippi Valley Lumberman takes a very decided stand in favor of the idea thrown out by Tumberman Weyerheauser relative to the taxa- tion of cut over lands in porthern Minnesota. ‘Che Herald-Review rises to inform both Mr. Weyerheauser | and the Lumberman—and incidental- ly T. B. Walker may as well take notice—vbat ‘the people of this sec- tion propose hereafer to conduct their own affairs. ‘ne Herald-Review feels a touch of pity for the pocr devil of a gold-bug when the subject of “confidence” is sprung in his presence. He hang his head asifin shame, feebly mur- | murs something about “time,” and sneaks around the must convenient} corner. We should be charitabie, however, remembering that they, tvo, are citizens, perbaps the unfortunate ‘owners of little children and feel the burden of depression avd business in- | activity just us the more inteligeut advocates of free silver feel it. | ALL the papers in the district that | have reached the Herald-Review ex- change table during the past two} weeks have contained a conspicuous | abnouncement, beginning with the words: ‘‘We have received:a com- ation from Congressman Mor- ; 4 ,and goes on to recite that un examination, to be held at} soon St. Cloud, of applicants for military | congre and naval cadetships has been or-} dered.

STRANGE as it may seem one rascal- ly bank:r has finally been jailed, | temporarily at least. Charles W. Spaiding, president of the Globe Savings ‘bank of Chicago and treas- urer of the University of Illinois board of trustees, was ‘trun jn” on order of Judge Uunne of the circuit court, who wa disapproved the bond] given by Spaulding on the occasion of his arrest a few days ago on a charge of e zlewent preferred by the | university alumni. The bond re-j quired was 00.

THE Supreme Court of the United States has rendered a decision in the contempt cases which grew out of vhe investigation in the Fifty-third fongress where the Senate of the United -States were inquiring into fine sugar trust and tbe speculations Sonnected therewith by Senators of Me United States. | Stituents of Judge Mr. Chapman, } win.” been transacted refused to answer, nd in accoydance, with law was turned over to the Supreme Court of the Distriet of Columbia for trial. He was duly indicted, tried, convict- ed and sentenced, when his ease by writof habeas corpus was brought before the Supreme Court cf the United States. This latter Court has affirmed the decision of the Dis- trict Court, sustaining the law giving | the Senate a right to investigate the actions of its members. -This deci- sion is very important and wi'l be far- reaching in its effects. Ii is the most important delivered by the Supreme Court since its anti-trust decision. THERE was a meeting held at the Hote! Waldorf in New York city last Saturday composed of the remnants of the late Republican Aid society, known as the National Democracy, Mr, Cleveland, formerly president of the United Slates, was a conspicuous member of the gathering and of course he made the principle speech. He unsparingly criticised the pres- ent administration for not devoting its entire attention to what he is plea-ed to term “sound finances.” Mr. Cleveland aiso made reference to the great Democratic party of the people as haying been captured by an lorganized band of intlamable inflat- ers, or words to that effect. If the ex-president could be made to under- stand the weight of his words with the masses he would not exert him self to expres his political opinions. Grover Cleveland has well earned and will retain forever the contempt of all honest eitizens, irrespective of party. HIS ONLY DISTINCTION. The Duluth News-Tribune is in- formed by its Washington correspond- district, Judge Page Morris, attracts a great deal of attention there on account of his having defeated the brilliant Charley Towne last fall, and that he is time and again pointed out from the galleties as the man | who accomplished that remarkable political, achievement.

Mining Journal. A HAUNTED TREE. The Coon Dogs ‘Turned Tail When They Strack It, Last fall a party of coon hunters | from this city were in the woods in this vicinity and the dogs hunted splendid- ly until they struck this old tree, says the Danville (Ky.) Advocate. There they tucked their tails between their legs and simply flew. gave other evidences of fear and could not be coaxed into hunting any more that night. Finally the hunters them- selves became scared. as if from some soul in deep distress. | This settled it. Every man in the crowd suddenly remembered that he had busi- ness in town and townward the whole layout proceeded without further par- leying or loss of time. The next day an old gentleman residing in Danyille was told of the occurrence and he re- perience near this old tree three vears ago and he said that the spot had been haunted for many years. A long time ago an o]d gentleman by the name of Louis Streat was murdered for his money and the murderer had dragged the body to the foot of this tree and covered it with dry leaves. The mur- derer was never punished by law. A young man named Henderson was ar- rested, charged with the crime, and at his examining trial was liberated on | $5,000 bail. He jumped his bond and ays, that the disappeared some time afterward. i A New Evolution. ing the cook how she liked her new fellow-servant.

A Candle Finds It Hard Work to Keep Warm in the Arcties. Cold is merely @ relative term. The resident of the semi-tropical countries shivers when the thermometer falls to 50 degrees, while the Laplander and Es- kimo think it is comfortable at zero. For real cold, and plenty of it, one must go to the polar regions. Think of living where the mercury goes down ta 36 degrees below zero in the house, in spite of the stove. Of course, in such a case, fur garments are piled on until a man looks like a great bundle of skins. Dr. Moss of the polar expe- dition of 1875-76, among other things, tells of the effect of cold on a wax candle which ‘burned there. The tem- perature. was °35 degrees below zero, and the doctor must have been con- siderably discouraged when, looking at his candle, he discovered that the flame had all it could do to keep warm. It was so cold that the flame: could not melt all the wax of the candle, but was forced to cut its way down, leav- ing a sort of skeleton of the candle standing. There was heat enough, however, to melt oddly-shaped holes dn the thin walls of wax, and the result was a beautiful lace-like cylinder of white, with a tongue of’ yellow flame burning inside of it and sending out into the darkness many streaks of light. TOBACCO. Tobacco is classified in: medical books | among the depresso-motors, a term used | to describe certain drugs which by re- | ducing the activity of the nervous sys- tem tend to lower the general tone of the body. Its peculiar properties are | due entirely to the well-known sub- stance, nicotine, which is present in | a degiee varying according to the form | in wlich the plant is ysed. Nicctine, when pure, is a colorless, | transparent liquid of a strong, tobacco- | like odor and persistent burning taste. | | It is freely soluble in water, and rapid- | ly disappears on exposure to the air. This active principle of tobacco is so | powerful that the small dose of one thirty-second of a’ grain caused an in- tense burning of the throat, gullet and stomach, which was followed by giddi- ness, rausea, extreme muscular weak- ness, laborious respiration, and with icy extrcmities, partial loss of con- sciousness, a rapid, feeble pulse, and other indications of lapse. In large amounts nicotine acts with | lightning-like rapidity, In a case of suicide, in which the amount taken could not be ascertained, the man dropped instantly to the floor, gave a long-crawn sigh and was dead in three | minutes. When nicotine is added to freshly ; draw. blood the blood takes on a pe- ¢ . dark hue, and upon examina- ion with a miscroscope the minute vital particles in‘ the blood are found to be rapidly breaking up and dying | | | It is doubtful just how nearly this represents the inward condition. of to- bacco-users, since during life the poi- | son which gains entrance to the body is constantly being eliminated by the | various organs in the performance of their offices. It is certain, however, that abuse of tobacco will eventually lead to deterioration of the blood. And it is upon this influence of nicotine upon the circulation, as well as upon its effect upon the nervous system, that the advocates of total abstinance from the use of tobacco correctly base their rguments. ; his nerves from an after-dinner cigar; ; but the almost continual employment of tobacco in some form, and especially the inhalation of the fumes from a | cigarette, which has its own distinct j and pernicious effect, is strongly to be | discouraged The exampie of men who have been tobaceo-users for a lifetime with im- punity proves nothing save that there are many men with constitutions strong enough to withstand a test which is entirely unnecessary. Couldn't Stand It. A certain fat lady resolved to con- sult a physician about her corpulence. She had had no previous experience with “banting” of any sort. The doc- tor drew up a careful dietary for her. | She must eat dry toast, plain boiled beef and a few other things of the same lean sort and insa month return and re- port the result to'the doctor. At the end of the time the lady came and was so stout that she could’ hardly get through the door. The doctor was aghast. “Did you eat what I told you?” he asked. “Religiously,” she answered, His brow wrinkled in perplexity. Sud- denly he had a flash of inspiration. “Did you eat anything else?” he asked. “Why, I ate my ordinary meals,” said the lady. : Defeated Candidate Cries on. Streets. W. F.
