THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The Senate Weakens and Recalls Its Resolution for Adjournment The House Considering Only Its Own Bills and Having Fnn with Itself—The Sunday Base Ball Bill Finally Passed. The Senate yesterday morning recalled from the House the resolution adopted on the previous day, fixing next Monday as the date for the final adjournment of the General Assembly, and reconsidered its action on the matter by a vote of 26 to 18. The proceeding was in the nature of a weakening on the part of the Senate. The haste to recall the resolution was caused by the threat of the House to pass no bills but those of its own members. Senator Magee opposed the proposition to recall the resolution, for the reason that &e thought tbo action would indicate .a weakness and servility which would not be creditable to the Senate. He opposed the resolution when it was adopted, but ho was not iu favor of receding from the action on it after the matter had gone to the House. The motion to reconsider prevailed by yeas 26, nays, IS, as follows: TEAS. Brown, Johnson, Richardson, Bryant, Johnston, Sellers, Davis, May, Shively, Dejr, Moon, Smith (Jen.), Kmest, McClure, Smith (Del.), Faulkner, McCullough, Thompson, Hill, Null. Weir, Hoover, Peterson, Zimmerman—2o. Howard, Rahm, NATS. Adkinson, Duncan (Brown), Lindley, Bentley, Knsley, Mclntosh, Benz, Foulke, Overstreet, Campbell (St. J.),Fowler. Schloss. Drake, IllUigass. Winter, Duncan (Tipton), Huston, Touche—lß. When the resolution was adopted there were only seven votes against it. and the reconsideration indicates a very remarkable change of mind in the Senate on the question of ajournment. THE GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE OIiDER. The “go-as-you-please” order of proceeding was observed in the House yesterday. It passed several of its hills, and amused itself in various ways. There seemed to boa general relaxity in the dignity of statesmanship during the afternoon- A wad of paper occasionally started across the room, as if propelled by some mysterious force of magic, and whenever a member arose to explain his vote, as a majority of the members usually do, he was encouraged by promiscuous cries of “louder.” The pages turned their attention to spinning tops in front of the Speakers desk, and one representative, of deacon-like appearance, removed his hoots and exhibited his feet from the desk before him. The Speaker protested against the top-spinning, but he seemed disposed, for once, to let the members do as they pleased, so long as no furniture was broken. The unruiiness of the House even went to the extreme of repeatedly defeating Wiiey Dittemore’s motions to adjourn, and the dav’s session was finally brought to a close upon the motion of the gentleman from Shelby, Mr. Ho t ban. Tl-i K GENERAL APPROPRIATION. The Senate yesterday entered upon the consideration of the general appropriation bill as a committee of the whole, and at the time of adjournment last evening had reached the Purdue University item. 'fhere were several changes made and a committee of unco between the Senate and House w ; il l necessary to reach an agreement upon some of the proposed amendments to the bill. The allowances of $1,200 a year to the Insurance and Land Department clerks in the Auditor’s office were reduced tt> SI,OOO, the present salary, while the fund allowed the Secretary of State from which to pay the e .penses from $250 to S6OO. All the special allowances for improvements upon the benevolent institutions were stricken from the bill. An amendment was adopted giving the State University at Bloomington $20,000 additional for the erection of new buildings, and purchasing anew library. This will make the sum which was asked by the trustees of the university in the special bill introduced early in the regular session. in which the appropriation was reduced by the House from $50,000 to SIIO,OOO. A forcible speech was made by Senator Johnson just before adjournment on a motion to increase the allowance to Purdue University from $18,500 to $24,000, the latter being the amount originally asked. If no prol mged debate arises the preliminary consideration of the bill by the Senate committee of the whole will probably be concluded to day. woman’s suffrage. Representative Best's resolution, proposing an amendment to the State Constitution, by omitting the word “male” in the section relating to the rights of suffrage, received a favorable vote in the House yesterday, although it was not adopted, because the affirmative vote did not constitute tho requisite majority. The yeas and nays were us follows: YEAS. Adams, Fleece, McMullen, Akins, . Floyd. Osborn. Barnes, Franklin, Overman, Boyd, Frwee, Fatten, Brooks, Gai ri.son, Pleasants, Brownlee, Hanlon, Robinson, Carr, Ilargrai e, Sayre, Copeland, Haworth, Staley, Dale, . Hayden, Taylor, pebs, Holms.

Gordon, McMieliael, The Speaker—42. The resoiation will come up again for another vote, and the woman suffrage advocates expect to get enough votes to secure its adoption. MINOR MENTION. John D. Carter, the assistant secretary of the Senate, has been presented with a costly ring by the clerks on his force. It is said that Colonel Taylor, the representative from Daviest county, will be a candidate for Congress in th Second district in the next campaign. Representative Sayre was incorrectly reported in tho detailed proceedings of the House as having opposed the Purdue University appropri ations, while, on tho contrary, he favored them. By an error in typography the name bay re was aubstituted for Loyd. The bill prohibiting Sunday base ball playing •was finally passed in the House vesterday. It contains no emergency clause, and will not go Into force, therefore, until after the publication of the Governor’s proclamation declaring the laws Jn operation, which will probably not bo issued until late in the summer. THE PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL. THE SENATE. The Day Devoted Chiefly to the Consideration of the General Appropriation Hill. Immediately after the Senate was called to order, yesterday morning. Senator Brown moved to recall from the House and reconsider the voto by which the resolution fixing next Monday as the date for the final adjournment of the General Unembly was adopted. A motion by Senator

Hilligass to lay the proposition on the table was defeated. The vote on the resolution was recon sidered, yeas 26, nays 18, the vote being almost strictly partisan, the Republicans nearly all voting against the proposition, and the Democrats for it. Senator Magee, who opposed the resolution when it. was adopted, thought that the proposed action was unseemly. It indicated a weakness on the part of the Senate which was not creditable. Althongh he had opposed the resolution, it was respectful and proper, and there could be no good reason for recalling it. Senator Foulke thought it really cowardly in the Senate to recede from its action in adopting the resolution, which was proper and timely, simply from fear of the House. The General Assembly would have to be declared adjourned by such a resolution, and it could properly originate in the Senate as well as in the House. He characterized the weakness evinced by the Senate’s action as crooking “the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.” Senator Johnson of Tippecanoe introduced resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, expressing it as the desire of the Legislature of Indiana that General Manson, Lieutenant-gov-ernor, should be given honorable recognition by appointment to a lucrative office. The constitutional rule was suspended for the consideration of Representative Mock's bill relative to gravel road improvement Mr. Smith of Jay said that the bill would allow counties to go beyond the constitutional limit of per cent, of their indebtedness to construct gravel roads, Mr. Hilligass—This does not repeal, modify or change any law upon the statute book. It does not seek to create any county indebtedness, but it grants privileges to these who construct, a turnpike to issue bouds —it is their debt and not the debt of the county. It is a cumulative statute. It is in accordance with statutes that authorize a majority to project a public improvement. It provides that if an error is committed no man not interested shall take advantage of that error. The interests of all parties are protected. Objection has been made to the provision authorizing donations, but that i6 copied from the present law. The bill is based upon the principle that the people within two miles on each side shall have the right to tax themselves to build a gravel road, making it au indebtedness on their lands. Mr. Sellers—This bill prohibits the issue of county bonds for these improvements but, instead, authorizes certificates to be issued, under a provision similar to one in the ditch laws, which saves many items of expense incident to the issuing of county bonds. In one county the expense of the auditor, treasurer and commissioner amounted to $.‘1,000. The difference between the old law and this is that the contractor shall collect from those assessed at his own expense. The bill passed by yeas 33. nays 8. Mr. Willard, from the committee on finance, returned the general appropriation bill [H. li. 471>j with several amendments. At his motion the Senate resolved itself into a committe of the whole (Mr. Magee in the chair) for the consideration of the bill.

Afternoon Session. At the afternoon session the consideration of the general appropriation bill was resumed by the committee of the whole. Mr. Brown moved to reduce the Governor's contingent fund from $2,000 to SI,OOO, and the military fund to SSO0 —in accordance with the recommendation of the Auditor of State. Mr. Foulke said that the sum, as proposed in the bill, was less than a Republican Governor wu3 allowed two years ago, and he was willing to trust these expenditures to a Democratic Governor. The amendment was rejected. The committee amendment increasing the amount allowed the Secretary of State for the distribution of public documents from $250 to S6OO was adopted. The finance committee recommended an amendment, allowing the clerk of the Auditor of State SI,OOO a year, which was agreed to. Mr. Davis moved to reduce the salary of the clerk of the Insurance Department from $1,200 to SI,OOO. The bill of 1881 made his salary SI,OOO, as also does another; and still another bill allows only SBOO. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Davis also made the same motion, for the same reasons, as applying to the Land Department clerk. Mr. Hilligass said that no man of fam'''* will have one cent over his living expenses at ich a salary. Both allowances should be 1 ft. s they came from tho House. The amendment w,s adopted—affirmative 21, negative 17. u —^ —'of - ? a\ moved to inereasn the sals: ry of the Deputy Attorney general from SOOO to SI,OOO. The amendment was rejected. Mr. Brown moved ineffectually to strike out the allowance of S2OO for the office expenses of the State Librarian. Mr. Davi9 moved to add to section 9 “for messenger of the Supreme Court. $360," which was agreed to. Mr. Smith of Jay made an ineffectual motion to reconsider the action of the committee allowing a salary of $1,200 to the Adjutant general. Mr. Willard said that there were additional appropriations amounting to SBO,OOO as to the necessity of which the finance committee was not informed, and he thought the bill very different from any general appropriation he had ever seen. He presumed that the reason was tbat sinc6 1879 no specific appropriation bill had been passed. Mr. Youche said that the bill raised the items for repairs about $55,000 more than usual, and there certainly should be some explanation Mr. Willard moved that the specific appropriations be stricken out, as the bill would have to go to a conference committee. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Duncan of Brown moved to amend item 12 by inserting an allowance to the State University. at Bloomington, of an additional sum of $20,000 for repairs upon the buildings. At the regular session there was a hill passed appropriating $30,000. The fire of 1883 caused a loss of $135,000. Monroe county has generously donated $50,000 There is nothing of the $30,000 to supply the loss of the library. Buildings have been constructed, new grounds have been purchased, aud the property is now securely in the possession of tho State of Indiana. It ought not to bo necessary for trustees to come before the Legislature arid urge the appropriations they recommend in their report. It ought to he granted without questioning the motives of these officers. This $20,000, in addition to the $30,000 already appropriated, would place this institution on a proper footing. Mr. Willard —At the time the $30,000 was appropriated, one of the trustees claimed that was enough, yet now they come here desiring $20,000 more. At the close of the next fiscal year there will be shown a deficiency of $320,000 in the State’s finances. There is one way to help reduce this and that is to raise the amount to 6 per cent, for county treasurers's delinquent collections. Mr. Fowler—The amendment ought to be adopted. This institution ought to be generously supported. This is what the trustees thought they ought to have. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Johnson of Tippecanoe moved to increase the appropriation to Purdue from $18,500 to $24,000, in the interest of that class of education of which Purdue University is the best representative in the State of Indiana. He made quite a long and forceable speech in support of the proposed amendment, at the conclusion of which the committee arose from its session, reported to the Senate and asked permission to resume consideration of the bill this morning.

THE HOUSE. Enactment of the Hill Prohibiting Base Ball Playing on Sunday. The House was opened yesterday morning with prayer by Representative Smith, of Warrick. Eighty-four members responded to their names at roll-call. A resolution offered by Mr. French, directing the clerk to buy 1,000 copies of the apportionment bill for members of the House, was defeated by yeas 26. nays 54. Mr. Shanks called up the bill/[H. R. 26] fixing the fees and salaries of county'officers, etc., substitute to Mr. Hosier's bill, by the committee on fees and salaries. A motion to recommit it prevailed. and the Speaker referred it to a committee consisting of Messrs. Sears, Cartwright and Shanks. The specific appropriation bill, made a special order for the morning at 9 o'clock, was postponed until this morning at 9 o’clock. The Senate furnished the House a copy of its amendments to the Sunday base ball bill, and they were ordered engrossed, and the bill finally passed. Mr. Hanlon's bill |H. R. 288] to legalize th* assessments on a gravel road in Floyd county,

which was defeated on March 25 and the vote reconsidered, wasj called up and passed by yeas 68, nays 10. Mr. Murphy’s hill to license engineers, which was referred to a special committee, with instructions to strike out the section creating the office of boiler inspector, came up for consideration, and failed t:> pass —yeas 47, nays 29 —the affirmative vote not constituting a constitutional majority. Mr. Kellison’s resolution [II. R. 2] to so amend the State Constitution as to increase the number of judges of the Supreme Court to nine was called up. He explained that it would double the working capacity of the Supreme Court. The tax on the people would be increased very little. With nine members of the court, if there should be business to warrant it, there could be three separate benches. This would render unnecessary the Supreme Court Commission, which is thought to be unconstitutional, and the proposed appellate court. Pending a vote on the resolution the House adjourned for the noon hour. Afternoon Session. The joint resolution relative to the Supreme Court judges was adopted by yeas 68, nays 10. Mr. French introduced a bill to authorize the officers of the Asylum for the lusane to reserve certain public lands for the asylum. He explained that there are one hundred acres of land west of the asylum, worth about $20,000, which should be sold and a tract bought adjoining tho asylum grounds where the inmates may work. On motion by Mr. Kcllison the bill was referred to the judiciary committee, with instructions to report this morning. Mr. Best's joint resolution, proposing to strike from the Constitution the word “male,” the effect of which would be to allow woman suffrage, came up for consideration. A proposition was made to postpone the resolution until the author could be present, but this was not agreed to. The resolution failed—yeas 45, nays 43--for want of a constitutional majority. Mr. Robinson's bill [H. R. 14] concerning voluntary insurance companies failed by yeas 47, nays 37. Mr. Linville's bill [H. R. 23] concerning work on the highways, was passed by yeas 53, nays 33. Mr. Murphy’s bill to license engineers, which failed in tho forenoon for want of a constitutional majority, was again called up and again failed—yeas 50. nays 34. Mr. Boyd’s bill concerning the incorporation of companies for protection from fire passed—yeas 71. nays 4. Mr. Lindsay’s bill to relieve drainage commissioners, contractors aud laborers was passed—yeas 06, nays 6. Mr. Williams’s hill regulating building an'd loan associations was passed by yeas 61, nays 11. The present law gives a member who draws out his stock before the expiration of the seven years 8 per cent interest. The bill allows but 6 percent., or the ruling rate of interest. Mr. Williams's bill to limit the rental of telephones to $3 per month was read the third time: Pending a voto the House adjourned until this morniug.

KIEL AND HIS HALF-BREEDS. United Statas Authorities Preparing to Head Oil* an Unwelcome Visitor. A Guard To Be Placed on the Frontier to Prevent His Crossing—Belief that the Revolt Will Soon Be Suppressed. A Possible Visitor Who Is Not Wanted. Special to tlia Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2.— The United States authorities have begun to take notice of the Reil rebellion in Manitoba. Secretary of State Bayard and General Sheridan have held several conferences upon the subject, and have about come to the conclusion that something must be done by the United States to protect the northwestern Territories from a possible invasion by Riel. It is feared in some quarters that if the rebel leader is driven from his present position by the Canadian forces, he will retreat southward across the railroad and down the Milk river into Montana. Riel's followers are not desirable citizens, and they are not wanted on this side of the line. General Sheridan is of the opinion that Riel will be more likely to retreat in a northwesterly direction when he is dislodged, and that there is no dauger of a visit from him to the United States. However, others who know something of the situation are positive that in case of a retreat, the United States boundary line would certainly become his objective point, and it # is desirable to keep him out of the country. Some precautions must be taken at once. It is not certain whether, under the constitution and our treaties with Great Britain, he can be debarred from entering American territory. Secretary Bayard will look into the law, and another conference will he held to-morrow to decide upon the coui’se of the United States. It is the opinion of officers of the army that the result will be an order directing the general commanding the department of Dakota to place a force along the northwestern frontier to keep back the invaders. _ The Trouble Increasing at Fort Qu’Appelle. To the Weatern Associated Press. Winnipeg, April 2.— A Qu'Appelle dispatch says that the trouble at Fort Qu'Appelle is increasing. The Cree Indians have assembled, atfit act ugly. They came out in war paint and raised a hideous row. A pow-wow was held with the agent, and they returned to the reserve, but are likely to break out again. A meeting of the French half-breeds was called to day at the mission at Qu’Appelle. Colonel lierechraer is still at Medicine Hut, and will be recalled, General Middleton being afraid that he will be annihilated if he proceeds towards Battleford. Humboldt Station has been deserted by the operator, and the mail carriers fear a descent by the rebels. The operator at Clark’s Crossing is expecting hourly to be made a captive. The Indians have left Battleford, going in a westerly direction, and it is supposed they have gone to join the Fort Pitt Indians. There is no doubt that the position at Battleford is a very serious one, as one-third of the whole Indian population is in that district, and Colonel Herschenier will be unabla-to render any assistance with his small force. Riel's scouts have been seen at Humboldt, 250 miles from Qu’Appelle, but nobody knows just where the rebel leader is located. In an interview to-night Premier Vorqnay explains that the Indian tribes are being led iuto the rebellion by the half-breeds, through Riel's influence, but as they are all short of supplies, they will soon yield to the military force now being concentrated in the field. Although valuable lives have been sacrificed and other such sacrifices are sure to follow, the trouble will soon be suppressed. “I am assured,” said he, “that Riel has not more than 500 half-breeds under arms, who can easily be overpowered. Just now the Indians are invading ranches, and so long as the stock holds out they cannot be expected to take an active hand. That was a fatal mistake on the part of the half-breeds. I do not think the trouble will last long."

Causes of the Outbreak. New York Herald. The small cloud of war which so lately appeared in Northwestern Canada—no larger than a man’s hand—has already grown into menacing proportions. The Canadian government seems fully alive to the seriousness of the revolt among the Canadian half-breeds settled in the extensive territory—which runs almost one thousand miles —northwest of Winnipeg, on the Saskatchewan river, and beyond the Manitoban territory. The population ot this region has greatly increased, within the last decade, and the lands which they occupy, and which are open to future settlement as the population further increases, are valued by them as their natural patrimony and heritage under proper laws and regulations. The present revolt has been fomented by causes similar to those which incited what was then known as the rebellion in 1860, in the suppression of which Sir Garnet, now Lord Wolseley, won his first laurels as a military leader. The causes which led the Manitobans to revolt are to-day in operation in the Northwestern settlement, and the half breeds there are having resort to the same means of redress —tho abitrament of tho sword. The conflict, however, should hostilities continue, will be on a much larger scale than marked the campaign of 1860. Riel, the head of the present rebellion, the same redoubtable leader that led the rising of the Manitobans, a veritable paladin of war, is again in the front. It will bo remembered that Riel, during his former brief campaign, set up a provisional government at Fort Garry and reignml there as director for a time. He has now put himself at the head of the new revolt, and will push hostilities to the utmost of his ability and opportunities. The half-breeds, of whom he is the chief, hate the Canadians, and should they, as is feared they may, be joined by the Indians, will cause the Dominion government a great deal of trouble, resulting in more serious consequences than were involved in the revolt of 180‘J. The scene of warfare is somewhat changed, but the causes of disaffection are the same. Soon after the settlement of affairs in Manitoba, in 1860, the Canadian government sent out surveyors to cut up the lands of the settlers into blocks, as had been attempted and successfully resisted by the Mauitobaus on their settlements. These surveys entirely ignored the river frontage, the right to which was already claimed by the settlers. Their lauds were specially selected on account of the advantages arising from water frontage, and they are determined to resist to the death any encroachment on their privileges in this respect Since 1809, the Northwest, the seat of the present troubles, has filled up immensely. and the settlers feel themselves strong enough to resist the survey, whieh would deprive them of all the advantages of favorable settlement. These men demand, substantially, the same rights of settlement and location that were conceded the Manitobans in 1869. To this extent the present outbreak is a repetition and a reflex of the rebellion of 1860, and involves in the settlement of the question like concessions to those which were wrung from the government in 1860 before peace can be proclaimed. The Freneh Canadians throughout the Dominion, to a great extent, sympathize with the struggle of their half-brothers, the halfbreeds, and show no disposition to strengthen tho hands of the government in sending men and munitions to the front. It is generally admitted that the country has been the prey of eastern speculators. The possessors of the lands have, in many cases, been unable to get their patents, and white encroachment has gone on increasing. During the past year a peaceful agitation has been kept up, mainly at the instigation of Reil, the former leader. It has been wholly unsuccessful, and the old expedient of arms has been resorted vo. The demands of the half-breeds are admittedly reasonable, but the delay has been eaused by the government having disposed of many of the half-breeds’ homesteads to speculators in Eastern Canada.

In some cases their lands were taken from them by the parties who purchased or preempted them, and in other cases they were actually given away to speculative politicians who swarmed into the Territory in the wake of the Canadian Pacific railway. Every device, or intrigue, trickery, and corruption wa3 put in operation to get their lands. These men naturally rebelled against this tyranny, and look at the effect which followed the revolt and demands of their near neighbors of Manitoba. With their example before their eyes, they are determined to fight, like them, for their hearths and homes. They demand, in their “Bill of Rights,’’agrant of 240 acres to each of the half-breeds of the Saskatchewan territory, and the recognition of the rieht of possession of actual colonists; that the Dominion government shall make new grants of land to the Northwestern colonists, thus placing them on a par with those remaining in lower Manitoba; that provision shall be made for the education of the children of the colonists and also for the support of the Indians of the territory, who, it is alleged, are starving. To the impartial mind there would seem to be nothing unreasonable in these demands, but for some reason or other the Dominion government has not seen fit to yield to them. The outcome of the rebellion would not be problematical were it not for the danger of a wholesale uprising of the Indians of the territory. Such an uprising would be a very serious affair, as there are at least six thousand warriors in the disaffected region. It is feared that it is part of Riel’s plan to arouse the war spirit among them, and that it was for this purpose that he inserted the clause relative to the better support of the Indians in his formal demand upon the Dominion government. The Indians are said to bo dissatisfied •vritli their treatment and ready to take the wairath. The Dominion authorities express entire confidence, however, in their loyalty, and appear to have no doubt of their ability to suppress Riel, who is alleged to have but 1,500 active followers, although it is admitted that more are ready to join his standard the moment they think he has any chance of success. So far the skirmishing has resulted in favor of the rebels. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications. War Department, I Office of the Chief Sxonai.

SHY OF POISON. How People Instinctively Shrink from Drugs Containing Morphia and Opium— A Reporter’s Researches. From the Washington Daily Post. For many years physicians have been much exercised over the use of drugs and medicines containing opiates or poisons. Opium smoking by the Chinese and the introduction of the habit into America is an evil which has been sought to be remedied, and the police of Philadelphia have recently made successful raids on opium “joints” and arrested the proprietoi'S. A more insidious form of poison than this, however, and one which largely affects not only the health but the lives of children, is that which comes in the fonn of popular medicines. Nine out of ten of these, it is known, contain narcotics or deadly metallic oxides. The difficulty, however, has been to find a substitute for such things which would be purely vegetable and at the same time effect a prompt cure. That such a discovery had been made was announced recently, and l)r. O. Grot he, chemist to the Brooklyn Board of Health, and a graduate of the University of Kief, Germany, publicly certified that he had analyzed the remedy and found it free from narcotics, opiates or injurious metallic oxides and a harmless and happy combination which will prove highly effective. Hearing that Dr. Samuel K. Cox, a graduate of Yale, and expert analytical chemist of this city, had also analyzed the remedy in question and given public testimony as to its purity and efficacy, a reporter of the Post was told by him that he had given such a certificate, and that he believed the remedy marked anew stage in the treatment of throat and lung diseases. He knew, also, that many public men in Washington had given the remedy a trial, and felt confident if they were called upon that they would cheerfully indorse it. One of them was Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn, senator-elect from Kentucky. Mr. Blackburn, on being approached, said he had used the remedy with marked effect and found great benefit, especially during his occupancy of the Speaker’s chair. It had removed all irritation from his throat and relieved a cough which had troubled him much. Senator Gorman, of Maryland, said that he firmly believed in the remedy, which he had personally tested. Congressmen J. IT. Bag ley, jr., of New York, Wra. Mutohler, of Penn sylvania; J. H Brewer, of New Jersey; Ilart B. Holton, of Maryland, and J. P. Leedom. of Ohio, Sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives, were emphatic in then* indorsement of the remedy. Messrs. Ed. A Clark, Architect of Public Buildings; E. A. Carman, Acting Commissioner of the Agricultural Department; Thos. S. Miller, chief clerk in the Surgeon-general’s Department; H. E. Weaver, ex-Congreseman from Mississippi and now chief of the collecting division in the General Postoflice; J. H. Graven&tia, head of the labor division in the same department, and F. B Conger, city postmaster and son of Senator Conger, of Michigan, all pronounced it a valuable discovery, and had found its effects not only soothing but lasting. The remedy in question is Red Star Cough Cure. It is free from opiates or poisons and is purely vegetable. A physician who stands in close relatma to the Board of Health of the District of (Jcitambia said that there are two things which seriously affect the health of the people—impure water and impure drugs, and, therefore, the benefits of a discovery like lied Star Cough Cure cannot be overestimated. Thousands of children die annually from the use of cough and soothing syrups containing opiates or poisons, and even adults are exjmsod to the danger of blood-poisoning from such a cause. In view of these facts members of Boards o£ Health in various cities, public men of Maryland, from the Governor down, and leading practicing physicians throughout that State have, over their own signatures, testified that Red Star Cough Cure cannot fail to be a boon to the suffering and afflicted. The reporter's investigations were thorough and unprejudiced, and the testimony obtained, judging from its character, cannot be gainsaid.
