Indigestion
IS not only a distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Aye Ha Sarsnparilla
1b tbe best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Micli.)-
" Liver complaint and Indigestion
made my life n burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, mid hardly
had strength to drag myself nbout. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could bo digested at
all. AYithin the tlmo mentioned several
fihvsicinns treated me without giving re.
lei. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Aycr's Sarsnparilla, which
lias produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to tnko the Sarsnpa
rilla I could see an improvement In my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with It came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength im
proved each day, nnu after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, nble to attend to all household
duties. The medicine lias given mo a
new lease of life."

Secretary Rusk's Address on
Agricultural Depression.
MOIM PROTECTION 18 NEEDED.
The Home Market Should lie Increased, lie
Says Tlio Cause of the Present Daptora
ble fitato of Affairs Among Hit Tillers of
the Solt.
YAElllsoTOS, April 23. Secretary Rusk
in reply to hundreds of communications
from different sections of the country ap
pealing to him for nn expression of opinion
respecting the present condition of agri
cultural depression, its causes and reme
dies, lias tasued a long address to the fann
ers of the country. The present agricul
tural depression, universally admitted and
of which there can be 110 doubt, the secre
tary says, can be trnced to a combination
of causes so mnuy that probably no one
man can enumerate them all.
Two ClA..e of Causes.
Those causes which to tbo secretary seem
moro directly responsible for this severe
depression may be divided Into two classes
those Inherent to farmers themselves and
for which they alone can provide a possible
remedy, and those over which the farmer
himself has no direct control and the rem
edy for which must be provided by law.
In the first class of causes Indicated, he at
tributes depreclatlen of the productive
power of land to a variety of causes; to
careless culture, want of business like
methods, lack of study of supply and de
mand nnd market prices, and the owner
ship of moro land by many than they can
properly care fbr.
After alluding briefly to the discouraging
effects of farm mortgages, the difficulties
of tbe transportation, question, gambling
In farm products, controlling combinations
and the depressing effect of the Increase of
middlemen on the results of tbo farmer's
honest toll, Secretary Husk advances an
argument in favor of higher duties on agri
cultural products.
'The Farmer' Lack of Protection.
One of the gravest causes for the present
agricultural depression, In the opinion pf
the secretary, is lack of protection for the
farmer. Few people, he says, realize that
our imports of agricultural product, esti
mated at prices paid by the consumer, are
nbout equal to our agricultural exports,
estimated at prices paid to the fanner, yet
such is the case. Our imports of products
sold In competition with those nctually
produced on our own soil amount to nearly
115,000,000 annually, and as much more
could lie produced on our own soil under
favorable conditions. Our imports of agri
cultural products for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 18S9, aggregated t2e0,OO0,O0O, tho
far greater part of which perhaps $250,
000,000 could, the secretary thinks, with
proper encouragement be produced on our
own soil.
To Protection for a Herae!y.
To protection the secretary looks for a
remedy. "Ono glance," he says, "at the
comparative rates of duty levied upon ag
riculture as compared with other products,
one glance nt tho free list, the greater por
tion of which consists of agricultural pro
ducts, either grow or which could be grown
upon our own soil, nnd a comparison of
these figures with the average rate of duty
levied upon manufactured articles ought
to be BUftlcient to silence forever any op
position to the demand I have made on be
half of the American farmer In my annual
report, namely that by a wise application
of our protective system all the benellts ol
our home markets be -secured to him for
everything he may he able to produce."
Our System of Tmatlou.
Our system of taxation demands im
provement in certain directions. The rost
of supporting the government needs to bo
more equitably adjusted among tho differ
ent classes of our people. At present in
many states the burden of local taxatlou
presses heavily upon farm property, Its
very nature rendering it easily accessable,
Every corporation created by the state, and
to whom special privileges are granted,
either by state, county or incorporated
village or city, should be taxed In propor
tion to Its earnings, and in nil ways the
principle of taxation should be to placo the
burden of maintaining the government,
whether state, municipal or national, upon
the luxuries nnd comforts which the
wealthy enjoy, and to reduce it to a mini
mum in its application to the hard earned
property of the poor man.
Shot by m Jealous Woman.
gyiUCPSE, N. Y April 23. Joseph Kear.
ney, the son of a leading brewer here, wn
fatally shot by Miss Lizzie Denr, a pretty
young girl, who his been in love with him.
Kearney was removed to his lather s home,
where he made an ante-mortem statement.
In it he said that as he was coming home
lie met Miss Denr and started to walk down
i'nrK street wltn lier at lier request, wnen
they had gone a short distance she shot
him twice in the head. Miss Dear knew
that Kearney was to be married on June 3
next to another girl, The police found
Miss Dear in lied nt her father's home, and
apparently asleep at 1 o'clock a. m. Her
clothes were searched, but no trace of tins
revolver could be found. The girl denied
all knowledge of the shooting. She was
locked up.
)l.inarck'a Activity Not Over.
IJEitUN, April 21. The Hamburger Nach-
richten denies that the articles recently upr
pearing in criticism of Chancellor vOn
Caprlvl have been instigated by Prince
Bismarck. Tho paper nt tho same time an
nounces that X'rincu llismarck will not re
linquish bU connection with the press. The
prince, It further states, Intends to soon ap
pear In tno Uberuaus, anil will also accept
tbe candidacy for the Reichstag. It would
be a great mistake, the article continues,
to Imagine that tho ex-chancellor is a bro
ken down old man, or that he will remain
a passive spectator of events. The German
people have a right to know his views oil
important public questions.

An Important Masonlo Ildlet.
Wasiunciton, April 23. The grand mas
ter pf the Masons ot the district of Colum
bia has just issued an edict annulling an
edict issued here last July against the
Cereneau Scottish lllte Masons for alleged
fraternal relations with the Grand Orient
of France. This action was taken after
J.he receipt of a properly authenticated copy
of a proclamation Wiw) by tbe Supreme
Grand Council, Cereneau Bcottlsh lllte Ma
sons, In whtcb it is stated that they "never
intentionally did or commit any act or
thing showing any want of loyalty to an
cient craft Masonry, and that there may be
no further excuse to claim that we have, we
do hereby withdraw said proposal and an
nul, vacate aud set aside each and every
net and thing doue by any one in authority
In our rite, wherein or whereby it might be
claimed (even by our enemies) that frater
nal relations had been effected between the
Bald Grand Orient ot France or anyot Its
bodies and our organization, contrary to
the order or decree ot any grand lodge In
the. United States."

FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS,
Condensed Itejinrt of Proceedings Id th
Semite nnd limine.
Washington, April 21. In the scnato the
Wotld's fair bill passed by the house was
called up by Mr. llawley. The only amend
ment reported by the scnato committee was
a new section providing for a naval review
In New York harbor In April, 1893, and for
the unveiling of n statue of Christopher
Columbus at Washington.
Mr. Vest opened the debate in opposition
to tho bill. At tho outset ho protested
ngatnst this assumption that tbo judgment
of tho house In tho matter of location for
tho fair was coercive on the senate. The
fact that the city ot St. Louis had been an
aspirant as a site for tho World's fair was
a post-mortem proceeding, and he did not
intend to introduco ghosts to disturb the
tranquillity of tho city of Chicago. Hchud
always opposed all legislation looking to
an exposition In 1KU, nnd the law should
not lie passed which called it Into exist
ence. He did not believe that .the people
of the United Stntcar'fnvored any such ex
position. The agricultural people of the
country had nclthertlme nor money to give
to a nationnl circus auch as was proposed.
It had been said of him In a Chicago news
paper that he lind declared that in a contest
between hades nnd Chicago for tho fair he
would support hades. As Chicago news
papers never lied, It was unnecessary for
him to sny In n'mlld nnd not too emphatic
way that bo made no such statement. What
ho did sny was that in n popular election
among the people of Missouri for the loca
tion of the fair It would be a very close poll
between hades and Chicago.
As Ix-tween these two localities In such a
contest he would lio strictly neutral. The
population ot Chicago was active, energetic,
aggressive, not troubled by those moral
and conscientious considerations which
a late interview had characterized as
"Iridescent drentns." He had been told
that the population of hades was composed
of similar material. Chicago, besides,
was full of trusts and combines, and the
the latest authentic information from
hades was that they were forming there a
trust on sulphur in order to bear tho mar
ket. Ho questioned whether there had
been nnything in the whole contest for the
fair that elevated or dignified the American
character at home or abroad. If the idea
was to illustrate tho national life or tho
four hundredth nunlvcrsary ot America,
why, ho asked, wns It not done In the name
of the people of tho United States without
contests and squabbles over localities?
Why hud the location been put up nt auc
tion? If it was to bo a national nffalr,
why did not the nation Itself, with an over
flowing treasury, take upon Itself the ex
pense? The wholo matter, he declared,
from tho beginning bad been simply an
advertising scheme on n basis of municipal
rivalry lietwcen tho great cities of the
country.
6ectlon 3 That the president Is hereby empow
ered and directed to hold a naval review In New
York harbor in April, 1893, and to extend to for
eign nations an Invitation to send ships of war to
Joiu the United States navy In rendezvous at
Hampton Roads and proceed thence to said re
view. Mr. Blair's amendment to the first section
of the bill prohibiting the sale of liquors,
wines and beer within the limits of the ex
hibition grounds was agreed to yeas, 33;
nays, 15. The hill (which had been under
consideration as in committee of the whole)
' Was then reported to the senate and a vote
was aguin taken by yeas and nays on the
amendment for a naval review. The vote
resulted yeas, 27; nays, 25; so tbo provision
remains in tho bill. Tbe bill was then
passed yeas, 43; nays, 13. Senators Bar
bour, Henry, Blackburn, Cockrell, Coke,
George, Hampton, Morgan, Pugh, Reagan,
Vance, Vest and Walthall voted in the
negative.
Washington, April 22. In the house Mr.
Chandler (Mass.) moved that the house
concur in the senate amendments to tho
World's fair bill, which, being agreed to,
tho bill goes to the president for his action.
Tho house went into committee of tho
whole on the legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill.
Mr. Dockcry (Mo.) criticised the Increase
In the number of government employes,
which In many Instances should not have
been made nt this time. He believed that
lf there was new blood In the department
1,600 clerks could be discharged, at a sav

tee take into consideration tho inefficiency
of the clerical forco of the departments.
Mr, Bland (Mo.) discussed the monetary
question and spoke In favor of the unlim
ited coinage ot silver and characterized the
Windom bill as a demonetization measure.
He wanted to raise the question from the
degradation of a party caucus and bring it
before the house, It this was not done, let
the responsibility rest on the secretary of
the treasury, who assumed to frame a bill
and to tell the country that it that bill
were not passed there should be no Bllver
legislation.
Mr. Grosvenor (O.)said that atthe proper
tlmo the Republican side of the house
would see to it that the country understood
tho character of the present administration
and would bring in a silver bill which
would be satisfactory to tbe people. Speak
ing of the civil service system, ho said that
he did not believe that the law and Its ad
ministration was approved by one-fifth ot
the members of either house of congress.
He believed that It each member of the
house would vote his deliberate opinion he
would declare that tho whole system was
fouuded on n mistake and Its administra
tion was on a falso principle. It was detrj,
mental to the very purpose it was aimed to
accomplish.
Mr. lodge (Mass.) defended tho civil serv
ice law, and resented it being character
ized as a humbug and it fraud. It was not
un-American nnd un-Republicnu. Subse
quently In the debate, Mr. lodge read
from The New York Evening Post a list of
tho occupations of the members ot the
Tammany cxccutlvo committee. In retnlia
tion for this, Mr. Spinola read from the
same paper nn article reflecting upon the
character of Senntor Quay, ilo was cnlleil
u qrder by Mr. Grosvenor, who elnlmeij
that It was not in order tor a repiesentur
tive to read a scurrilous attack on a sen.
ator. The chairman ruled the point well
taken and Mr, Spinola continued in onler,
attacking the administration as being
"English, you know." It bad abolished
the green stamp, the color of old Kriu, and
substituted a red stamp. Mr. Kerr said
that President Harrison's administration
was standing fairly up to the civil service
law,

It Resented What llo Thought a Slur to
Ills Church.
Brooklyn, April 22. At the meeting ot
tho llrooklyn Presbytery It nppenred that
there was due from Dr. Talmage's Tatar
riaclo $410. Rev. Dr. Archibald McCub
lough said If the Tabernacle did not feel
that they could meet the Presbytery tax
soma recommendation should be made to
meet tho Indebtedness by pro rata assess
ment on the other churches. Hut In any
event ho hoped some remedy would ta
mado to meet the deficit. Dr. Tnlmage
said, with Borne asperity, that the Tatar
naclo would meet nil Its obligation ntid
there would be. no necessity for any such
action mi tho part Of the brethren.
Treasurer Ham suld ho had left word nt
Dr. Tolninge's house, concerning thodellclt.
Dr. Tnlmnge replied that ho had not heard
of his calling. Ho then paid thoassessmeut
personally, and, returning to his sewt In the
pew, said with much feeling:
"As tho fact that my dearly beloved
church had not paid tbe assessment was
mado so conspicuous here, I widi to say
that this peculiar and high handed attempt
to cast a slur upon it is unwarranted. I
have tho receipt in my pocket for the $440
assessment which was overlooked. At the
samn tlmo I wsh to protest In the name ot
my beloved church against the Imputation
sought to ta cast."
There was no resnonso to Dr. Tiilmane's
remarks, nnd n few minutes later ho'took
up his hat aud left to attend a funeral.
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
The "Compromise" Itntlot Itefnrm 11111
Amended nnd Adopted at Albany.
ALnANT, April 23. In tbe sennte the
"compromise" ballot reform bill came up
and provoked a very warm debate. The
supposition that both parties bad united on
a measure that would meet witli the gov
ernor's approval seems to have been wrong.
Mr. Saxton proposed to nmend the bill by
striking out tho "paster" clause. Ho was
then accused of bad faith by the Democrats.
Jlr. bnxton s proposition was then for
mally put before tho senate. It was carried
by a strict party vote. Mr. Saxton imme
diately offered nnother amendment, per
mitting a physically disabled voter to take
a friend into tho booth with him, nnd an
Illiterate voter to be accompanied, by nn
election officer. This makes the section
read precisely ns It read in the vetoed bill;
excepting that now a voter who swears
falsely as to his disabilities is to ta deemed
guilty of perjury.
Tho amendment was adopted; also an
other, providing that "no name written or
pasted on the ballot shall be deemed the
choice of tho voter, notwithstanding tho
name of the candidate for tho same office
shall be covered by such writing or paster."
Mr. Cantor moved to recommit tho bill to
tho committee on general laws, with In
structions to report forthwith tho un
amended bill. This obliging proposition
was voted down. The bill was formally
passed by a party vote of 18 to 8.
