All communications should bo addressed to THE COI.tMMAN, Iilooinsburg, ra. FRIDAY. JANUARY 8, 1892. WASHINGTON LETTEB Washington, D. C, Jan. 4th, 189. Speaker Crisp has found such a hard taskmaster in the grip which has held fast to him ever since the day of the recess adjournment, that it is not pro bable that he will be well enough to preside over the House when it reas sembles tomorrow. In that case the House is not expected to transact any further business than the election of a Speaker protem, and the adoption of a resolution authorizing the employment of clevks to the various commitecs. This programme may however be added to, if Mr. Harrison shall send in the Chilian correspondence and his special message, as it has been semi officially announced that he would do this week. If the correspondence and the message shall prove to be as important as the public have been led to believe, the House will probably take it tip at once to the temporary exclusion of all other business. In this connection it may be well to give the views of Representative McCreary of Kentucky, who has long been justly regarded as one of the clearest beaded democratic members of the House committee on Foreign Affairs. He says : ' I still think that the Chilians will not want to go to war with us. I believe they will make proper repara tion for the affront that has been given us. Thev have nothine to pain from such an unequal contest. Peru would j be only too willing to give the United States permission to land troops on her soil and to establish store houses there. We could land one hundred thous and troops, and such a step being once taken, there would be no halt until our forces had marched through the whole country. The intelligent Chili ans must appreciate this danger, if they compel hostilities, and upon the assumption that they do I believe that they will not permit war. Soon after Congress reconvenes the President will J send the correspondence to the two houses and then w e can consider the situation with a better understanding. I am sure that the course of the Unit ed States will be dignified, firm and courageous. Whatever the result, I do not think we can be charged with having rushed into war, or that we shall suffer any loss of dignity." The . last sentence is significant, as there are reasons for the belief that Repres entative McCreary has already read the correspondence. Were it not for the fact that Frank Hatton has been known to bear a bit ter personal grudge against Mr. Blaine ever since just before the meeting of the repulican national convention in 1880, his rather plain intimations in the Washington W, that Mr. Blaine had, by reason of a business deal mth ex-Mayor Grace, of New York, who has large business interests in Chili, determined to prevent war between the countries, even if it becomes necessary to back down to do it, would ha e cre ated a sensation. As it is they have only raised a smile, and recalled the adage "Give a dog a bad name, etc." Although nothing definite is known on the subject it seems to be the opin ion of the majority of democrats that the committee on Rules of the House will not recommend the restorvtion of a)l the appropriation bit's to the Com mittee on Appropriations, as they were some years ago, and as Repres entatives Holman, Sayers, Dockerty and other champions of economy wish them to be again. It is possible that the committee may conclude to get the views of a democratic caucus before acting on this very important matter. Representative Springer has pre pared the first of the series of tariff Dills with which it is proposed to as sault the present class favoring law, and it will be submitted to the Ways and Means Committee in a few days, probably this week. It would put wool on the free list, and place carpet3 on about the basis proposed by the Mills bill. Ex-Representative Perkins, of Kans as, who is to attempt to fill the vacant chair of the late Senator Plumb, by right of a gubernatorial appointment, did not make a reputation to be very poud of during the four sessions he served as a rr.einber ot the House. As a statesman he was a bad misfit, but as a blind partisan, losing sight of everything but the momentary success , of his party, he was a howling success. His career in the Senate will probably be but a repetition of that in the House. The amount of sugar bounty so far paid, under the McKinley tariff law, is nearly one million dollars ; to be exact, $562,930. Although the administration estimate for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year beginning July t, 1S91, i& on'y mark the only $144,000,000, those who have devoted much study to the subject predict that it will re quire at least $20,000,000 more. The U. S. Supreme Court has re versed decision of the Nebraska State Court, and decided that Gov. Boyd is the legal governor of thai state.

HE SERVES OUT THE UNEXPIRED TERM OF DR. HIGUEE, WHICH ENDS MARCH, I893. The supreme court of the state of Pennsylvania convened in Philadelphia Monday and decided the contention as to the right of appointment to the vacancy in the office of superintendent of public instruction, caused by the death of the late Dr. Higbee. The dis pute was between rival appointees of Governor Pattison and Governor Bea ver, and the decision was in favor of the latter's oppointee, Dr. 1). J. Wal ler, Jr. Dr. Waller was originally appointed on February 14, 1891, the senate not then being in session. The next session of the senate began on the first Tues day of January, 181)0, and on January 19th Governor Beaver named him for four years from March 1st, 1890. On Januaiy 20 this nomination was con firmed. On the same day Governor Pattison went into office, and, instead of issuing a commission to Di Waller, he appointed Z X. Snyder to the posi tion. Mr. Snyder's nomination was rejected by the senate, but Attorney General Hensel subsequently issued a writ of quo warranto against Waller, the governor having re appointed Sny der after the adjournment of the sen ate. The decision of the Dauphin county common pleas was in favor of the commonwealth, but the supreme court reverses the judgment. INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION. After quoting from article four, fcc tion eight, of the constitution, the chief justice says : "This clause of the con stitution is by no means clear. It will be noticed, however, that there are two classes of vacancies to be filled by appointment by the governor, those that relate to elective ofiices and those that are non-elective. In the former, the governor can only fill a vacancy until such time as the people can fill it by an election. Hence the commis sion of the governor can run no further. In the other case no time is designated during which his appointee can hold, except the single provision that if a vacancy shall occur during the recess of the senate he shall be commissioned until the end of the next session. This simply means that his appointee to this c'ass of ofiices shall be confirmed by the senate, otherwise his incumben cy expire3 with its adjournment. But if confirmed, he is entitled to hold for the balince of the unexpired term. He appoints to fill the vacancy. What is the vacancy ? Clearly the term of of fice left unfilled, when not otherwise provided for. Governor Beaver exer cised this power. He filled the vacan cy caused by the death of Mr. Higbee, and his appointee having been duly confirmed by the renate, the respon dent is in office by virtue of AN APPOINTMENT PROPERI V MADE under the constitution and laws of the state. The confirmation of respondent by the senate necessarily extends his original appointment for the balance of the unexpired temi."

That's what you think, perhaps, when yon road that tho proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer $500 reward for an incurablo cnao of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you think, to find tho makers of a medicine- trying to prove that they be lieve in it. " There must bo some thing back of it!" Hut it's a plain, square offer, made in good faiih. Tho only thing that's back of it Is the Remedy, ft cures Catarrh in tho Head. To its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, the worst cases yield, no matter how bad or of how long standing. It has a record that goes back for 25 years It doesn't simply relievo it perfectly and permanently cures. With a Rem edy like this, tho proprietors can mako such an offer and mean it. To bo euro there's risk iu it, but it's so very small that they are willing to take it. You've " never heard of anything like this offer?"
