JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S: B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in Brights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
- ever tried. " J. B. Nelson,

HOW THEY DEVELOP THE COUNTRY
The Erie Canal Itself the Best Evi
dence of Its Right to Exist
EVERY YEAR BRINGS EVIDENCE
Of
tlie Inadequate Railway Facilities
to Do the Increasing Business
of the Country.
Special to Thi Chronicle.)
New Yobk, Nov. 18. The import
ance of the Erie canal to N. Y., is shown
by the Buffalo convention of a few
weeks ago, and may perhaps have
been reflected in the vote of the
state north of the Harlem. The
Buffalo convention pertinently called
attention to the great canal works being
constructed in Europe and to the mag.
nificent traffic of the Sault Ste. Marie
and St. Clair canals in this country. It
therefore urged on the people of New
York the election of legislators favorable
to giving the canal the improvements it
needs to keep in the front rank as a
commercial factor.
The Buffalo convention need not
have appealed to other canal works
to demonstrate the importance of
internal waterways. The Erie
Canal itself furnishes the best evidence
of its right to exist. Limited and crip
pled as it is, it still maintains a cheap
ness in the transportation of large mass
es of bulky freights which the railroads
cannot rival. If railwav facilities had
stood still for the past 30 years
with no more . improvement than the
Erie canal has had the railways could
not be counted as a factor against the
canals. But by suppressing all proposi
tions to improve the canal in the New
York legislature, the canal has been
kept to the narrow facilities designed
for the commerce of half a century ago.
It is hoped that the continuance of the
policy may yet extinguish this last of
the old canals and thus check the pop
ular demand for improved internal
waterways.
It is difficult to avoid the recognition
of the same influence in the fact that the
political conventions of both parties this
year indorsed the loan of $100,000,000 of
government credit , to an inter-oceanic
canal over a thousand miles away from
Untied States territory, while proposi
tions for a much less costly encourage
ment to the internal waterways which
will do the people a hundred-fold more
good are treated with scant considera
tions'. Corporate influence is undoubt
edly inimical to the development of a
comprehensive system of canals connect
ing the rivers with the lakes and the
lakes with the ocean. This was very
short-sighted, as it is becoming more ap
parent that the proper, functions of the
canals and railways are entirely separate.
' Political Notes.
The official vote of Vermont gives a re
publican plurality of 21 ,667.-.
Official returns show the election of
Belknap (rep.) to congress from the Fifth
district of Michigan.
The chairman of both committees in
Wyoming claim the state legislature,
and it will take an official count to de
termine the result.
It is stated the fusionists of North
Dakota will ally - themselves wi:h the
prohibitionists and inaugurate a most
vigorous war on saloons.
On the face of the returns from the
second district of Kansas, Fanston is re
elected to congress by 68. Moore his
democratic opponent, has given notice
of contest.
The latest returns from North Dakota
give Shortridge, fusionist for governor,
1,800 majority. The entire fusion state
ticket is elected except Dahl (.rep.) for
secretary of state, who has 200 majority.
The supposed princeless jewels and
sacred relics, ownei by the late Rev,
Father Mollinger, and which played such
a prominent part in the thousands of
cures performed by the priest at Pitts
burg, Pa., prove to be bogus,- and the al
leged golden altar in St. Anthony chapel,
ia nothing but wood,, covered with a
cheap gilt. The man who built the al
tars and put the relics in position, says
there is not a truly valuable Btone in the
whole building. .v f - . .
Dolph to Succeed Field. ' - -
. San Fbancisco, Nov. 16. The Even
ing Post says, according to news re
ceived from Portland, Or., that Stephen
J. Field, associate justice of the United
States supreme court, will soon resign,
and the vaeancy will be filled by the
appointment by President. Harrison of
United States Senator Joseph N. Dolph,
of Oregon.
Telegraphic Flashes.
Word has been brought to Buffalo,
Wyoming, of the assassination of two
more outlaws. The dead cattle thieves
are the notorious Mike Brown and Geo.
Hanks, fugitives from " Montana. "Both
were found shot in the back near Hot
Springs. Four outlaws have been killed
in that vicinity in the same way within
two weeks. Brown was one of the most
notorious cattle thieves in Wyomiog. .
The $2,000 reward has furnished an
incentive for the officers in trying to
ferret out the murderers of Henry Planz
at San Jose, Cal. The woman , theory
seems to be the most plausible, as the
l:8t of married ladies with whom he was
very friendly, increases.
The Constellation is now at Naples
for the purpose of taking on board and
conveying to the United States works of
art by American artists for the Chicago
exposition.
The Rothschilds will send another
1,500,000 in gold to Russia next week.
Half has already been purchased. It is
expected the remainder will be secured
without having recourse to the Bank of
England. -
One of the most important election
contests ever known in Nebraska has be
gun in the supreme court. It is an appli
cation for a writ of mandamus to compel
the clerk of Clay county to issue a certi
ficate of election to the republican candi
date for the legislature, on the ground
that the independent candidates, who
received a majority of the votes, had
been endorsed by the democrats, and in !
printing the official ballots the names of
the independent candidates were placed
twice on the ticket. At the same time
another contest from Knox county was
started, which, if successful, will unseat
an independent representative and seat
a republican . If these changes are made,
the legislature will be a tie on joint bal
lot. Official returns show the election of
Jerry Simpson to congress in Kansas by
1,400 majority- It is now believed that
he will not try for the senate,
as the fusionists fear they will not be
able to elect his successor in the house.
Mrs. Lease charges that he is a democrat
and is merely using the people's party.
He says he favors a. democrat for
senator, "because they played fair
with ua this time, and we will need
them in the future." On the face of
the returns from the second district,
Funstoa is re-elected to congress by 65.
Moore, h's democratic opponent, has
given notice of contest.
There is a conflict between the laws of
the United States and the laws ot the
State. of Washington in regard to the
date of the convening of the electoral
college. The last legislature, following
the act of congress of 1792, fixed the
first Wedneeday of December following
the day of election as the day of meet
ing. The law . of 1792 was, however,
changed by an act of congress approved
February 3, 1887, and the time of meet
ing by .that act is the second Monday in
January, next following the election
Congress has power under the fourth
section of article two of the constitution
of the United States to determine the
day on which the electoral college in the
several states shall meet, and, thereto -e,
the state law being in contravention of
the existing act of congress is unconsti
tutional. 'The Washington electors will
accordingly meet in Olympia on January
9, 1893.
Two masked bandits entered the bank
at Woodstock, Minn., last Wednesday
evening and demanded of Cashier
Perry and his assistant, Mr. Craig, that
they open the vault. One of the men
took Perry in charge, while the other
robber forced Craig to open the vault.
The robber then helped himself to what
he wanted, and the pair left with a
large boodle, the officers say $1,000, but
it is feared that the amount is greater,

Tacoma. Nov. 18. Thpre is hnt nrm
case of small pox in the city, and no
new cases have developed in either of
the two lodging houses from which the
case now in the pest house and the one
who died were taken, and no alarm has
been manifested by the people as every
place has taken precautions to prevent
are 18 cases in Seattle, all isolated in the
cases came have all been quarantined
with all their occupants. George Mc
Lennan, a railroad laborer, died at the
pest house yesterday.' There is one case
at Snohomish, one at Lowell, one at
Sultan and four at Index, all along the
line by which the railroad men come.
At Friday harbor, a single case has
caused great excitement. New West-,
minister and Vancouver health authori
ties, acting under instructions from pro
vincial health officer Da vies, are inspect
ing all steamers from the sound before
they are allowed to land.
Weaver Talks Plain.
Des Moines, Nov. 18. Gen. Weaver's
address to the voters declares that as the
peoples party is but little behind the
republican party in the number of
states carried ; it will doubtless hold the
balance of power in the United States
senate ; that it has doubled its adher
ents in the house; secured control of a
number of state governments ; holds the
balance of power ' in the majority of
states, and has gained a large following
in everv state of the south. Weaver
says the almost annihilation of the re
publican party organization leaves the
adherents of that party free to align
themselves with the anti-monopoly " And
industrial movement. The accession of
the democratic party to power is the
result of a violent reaction and is not
the deliberate judgment of the American
people. The leaders of the democracy
he declares, are without any ' well de
fined policy, except that of contemptu
ous disregard for every element of re
form within the ranks of their own
party and among the people at large.
The new administration will-ignore the
three great contentions of modern times,
relating to land, money and transporta
tion, and, in fact, while the force of the
new regime will be exercised to prevent
reform in these important matters the
nrgent demand for free coinage of silver
is to be disdainfully ignored, and in con
tempt of the doctrine of Andrew Jackson
European aristocrats are to be permitted
to dictate our financial policy. The
uniform legal tender currency of the
government is to be sacrificed and seri
ous attempts made to force the people to
return to the fraudulent system of state:
bank issues. In General Weaver's
opinion the violent political storms of
1888 and 1892 signify a turbulent condi
tion of the political atmosphere, fore
shadowing an approaching crisis. He
urges that the work of organization be
pushed with energy in all states.
