FRIDAY. DKCEMBEK 18, 1891. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, D. C, Dec. 14th, i8ot Speaker Crisp may have made some promises before his election as Speak cr few men ever occupied the nosi tion who had not done so in their can vass for votes, he has made few if any, promises since his election. He lets the other fellows do the talking while lie does double duty as a thinker ; he knows that it will be impossible to so arrange the committee assignments that all the democratic members of the House will be pleased, and, if those who enjoy his confidence may be relied upon, he will devote himself principally to the task of making an equitable distribution of the chair manships and places upon the impor tant committees between the various sections of the country ; believing that no Representative will allow his per sonal disappointment to make him angry when he sees that his section is fully represented. It is now almost certain that the lists of committees will not be announced until after the Cnrist mas recess, and it is expected that Speaker Crisp will, after all the mem bers have been given a chance to be heard, retire to his home in Georgia, or to some other place, where he can devote his time during the recess to nuking up the committees. All sorts of gossip about the chair manships and the make-up of the im portant committees may be heard, but about the only thing that everybody seems to be agreed upon is that the Ways and Means committee, which deals with tariff matters, will be domi r.ated by Northern and Western mem bers, whoever its chairman may be The general opinion is that Mr. Mills can have the chairmanship of this com mittee if he wishes it, but some of his close friend, say that he will not take the place, several reasons being given why he will not; one of them being that it there is an extra session of the Texas Legislature in the Spring h win oe a canniaate lor the unexpired term in the Senate of ex Senator Rea gan now temporarily being filled by Senator Chilton a r.d that if he is elected he will at once resign his seat in the House. But there are those who think th-t that is just the reason why he should take the chairmanship. -iney argue mat ui ,v.r. crisp to ter. iler this important 1 loo. to Mr. Mill and for him to accept it would show that no bad blood was left by the hot fight for the nomination, nd that the committee could be so made up that the next democrat on the committee could from the first take up the hard work of the chairmar and that in the event of the election of Mr. Mill j to t'.:e Senate this gentleman might be made chairman. xesonmons pro1 nng lor an inves tigation of the I nsion Office will shortly be offered in the House by Representatives Cooper, of Indiana, and hnloe, of 1 ennessec. The latter gentleman says that his resolution will be for an investigation of the methods used and is intended to save some of the tax payers money that now goes mrougn leaics which tie thinks are in the machine. Mr. Cooper is particu larly interested in going for General Raum, he being of the opinion that the investigation by the last Congress was not as impartial as it might have been. Both resolutions will not be adopted, but the probabilities favor the adojrtion of a resolution that will be acceptable to both gentlemen. Gen. l'orney, of Alabama, who was the senior ileniocraiic timber of tl e House Committee on Appropriations in the last Congress, has, on account f f his age and somewhat failing health declined the chairmanship of that committee, which was tendered him by Speaker Crisp. It is believed here that Representative Holman, of Indi ana will, in the interest of general re trenchment in appropriations, be put it the head of that committee. Speaker Crisp pleased those mem bers who wished to get the cash for their mileage before Christmas by an nouncing at the short session of the House held on Saturday, previous to the adjournment until Wednesday, the membership of Committee on Ac counts and that on mileage, as follows : Accounts - Rusk (Md.), Cooper (Ind.), Dickerson, (Ky.) Moses, (S. C), Seer ley, (Iowa), Pearson, (Ohio,) Quacken bush, (N. Y.), Griswold, (l'a.) and Cutting, (Cal.) Mileage Castle (Minn.), Crawford, (N. C), Kendall, (Ky.), Caldwell (Ohio) and Flick (Iowa). - Representative Culbertson, ot Tex as, one of the best fitted men in pub lic life for the position, has decided to accept the democratic vacancy on the Interstate Commerce Commission, which Mr. Harrison tendered to him To purify Your blood Take Hood's Sarsaparilla. "Best Paper In The World." the gifted journalist henry w grady's high opinion of the herald, 1 he Curistmas number of the New ork Ledger is one of the most en tertaming and artistic publications of the luletule season. 1-or a frontis piece there is a picture in colors of the Virgin and the child Christ in the manger at Bethlehem, with angels hovering above, singing peace and good will toward men. In addition to the usual number of serial and short stories, there are some pretty Christ mas sketches and poems, which are fully up to the high standard set by the Ledger. A highly interesting letter, written by the late Henry W. Grady, in 1887, to his boyhood friend, Professor Wil liam Henry Peck, the author of "The stonecutter of Lisbon," is printed on the editorial page. The letter will be read with delight by many admirers of the great Journalist and orator, as it contains, m the trank disclosure of in timate friendship, some details of the early life of Mr. Grady, which have never before been published. Incidentally Mr. Grady pays a high compliment to the Herald, in this let ter, the closing sentence of which is as follows : "I suppose you still read the New York Herald the best paper in the world for a gentleman who wants to take only one paper. A feeling of dullness, languor, and depression means that your liver isn't doing its part. That means impure blood, to begin with, and all kinds of ailments in the end. But you can Btop them in advance. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery invigorates tho liver, purifies and enriches tho blood, and rouses every organ into healthy action. It pre vents and cures all diseases arising from a torpid liver or from impure blood. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Bil iousness, Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases even Consumption ( or Lung-scrofula), in its earlier etaccs. all yield to it. b Tho makers of tho "Discovprv" claim for it only what it will do. They guarantee that it will do it. If it fails to benefit or cure, in any case, they'll return the money. Nothing clso that claims to purify tho blood is sold in this way ; which proves, no matter tvh.it dealers may offer, that nothing else can bo "just as cood." Therefore. don't accept a substitute.

It was Ben Johnson, we believe, who when asked Mallock's uuestion, "Is life worth living ?" rep'ied, 'That de pends on the liver'' And Ben John son doubtless saw the double point to the pun. The liver active quick life rosy, everything bright, mountains of trouble meet like mountains of snow. The liver sluggish life dull, everything blue, molehills of worry rise into moun tains of anxiety, and as a result sick headache, dizziness, constipation. Two ways are open. Cure permanently, or relieve temporarily. Take a pill and suffer, or take a pill and get well. Shock the system by an overdose, coax it by a mild, pleasant way. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the mild means. '1 hey work effectively, without pain, and leave the cystem strong.

HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONS (Catarrh Is ,1 complaint so common that comnarativelv few people are entirely free from it, so insid ious thnt it gains a firm hold almost before its victims are aware of its presence, so dang erous as tu seriously threaten the general lieaUh, and liable to develop into bronchitis or Consumption. It is a mistake to consider Catarth merely a local trouble. It is unquestionably a disease of the blood, and therefore the right way to cure Catarrh is to remove from the blood the impurities which cause nnd feed it. This is to be done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, which effectually expels all traces of poison and germs of disease. "l nave been troubled lor years with (Catarrh and have never received the least benefit from the many so-called catarrh cures. Of late I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and can honestly say that I am certainly improved. I know Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a good medicine." II. A. titoKGE, Athol, Mass. Stuffedup Feeling "For years I have been troubled with that terrible disagreeable disease, Catarrh. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the very best results. It cured me of that continual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up'feeling." Mrs. S. D. II bath, J'uinam, L-onn. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best blood purifier, the best nerve helper, the best strength builder. Try it. HOOD'S PILLS For the liver and bow els, act easily, promptly, efficiently.
