IN CONGRESS. Urst Wcok's Debate on Tariff Bill. NOT ENCOURAGING TO SPEEDY ACTION. Republicans Usual rillibustoring. From our Rpgulnr Correspondent. Washington, April 9. The result of the first week's debate on the tariff bill in the Senate is not encouraging to those who wish for speedy action on the bill, and Senators Hill, Murphy, Bricc and Irby, who, intentionally or unintentionally, aided the Republicans in their efforts to delay the debate, have been sharply criticised by Dem ocrats. Senator Hill's speech to day has also brought additional Democra tic criticism upon his head. It was, of course, expected that the Republi cans would resort to filibustering when the Democrats began to take steps to bring the debate to a close, but to the surprise of everybody they began fili bustering for delay almost at the very beginning of the debate, and it is clear that they intend to keep it up to the end. Senator Harris, who has charge of the bill, proposes to force a show of hands this week, by asking that the sittings of the Senate be prolonged two hours a day and that the tariff bill be taken up earlier each day. He intends to put the Senators on record in order that the country may see who are in favor of pushing the debate to a conclusion and who are the obstruc tors, and he doesn't believe that when the issue is squarely raised any Dem ocrats will be found in the latter class. Hon. Patrick Walsh, the new Sena tor from Georgia, met with a cordial reception from his future colleagues, most of whom have long been his per sonal friends. Senator McLaurin doesn't fancy the idea of being confounded with Repre sentative McLaurin, of South Caro lina, who has been talking of leaving the Democratic party to form a silver party in the south and west. The Senator is opposed to any such move ment. To use his own words: "I am a silver man, but I believe in the mis sion and success of the Democratic party, and I think that we can settle disputed questions within our party organization." That's about the way most of the silver Democrats feel about it, too. The largest number of Democratic signatures ever attached to a request for a ca'l to be issued for a caucus were on that addressed to Mr. Hol nian, chairman of the caucus asking that a caucus be held Tuesday of this week to decide what should be the policy of the party in the House to wards that plank of the National plat form which dec'ared that the tax on state bank currency should be repeal ed. Representative Swanson, of Vir ginia, circulated the request for a cau cus, as a result of his making a per sonal poll of the Democrats in the House on the question of the repeal of the tax. He found that nine-tenths of the Democrats favored repeal, but all except 129 of them insist that it shall be accompanied with more or less Federal control over the currency to be issued by the state banks. The House committee on Banking and Currency pigeon holed the question some time ago because cf failure to agree on a bi 1. The whole matter will be talked over at the caucus ami will, it is hoped, be definitely settled one way or the other, although the present understanding is that the cau cus is not to take action that will be considered binding upon those who at tend it. Somebody, probably from pure vie iousness, started a story a few days ago that Senators Hill and Murphy, would antagonize the nomination of Mr. Benedict to be Public Printer. They will do nothing of the sort. Senator Hill said a week ago that he was glad so good a Democrat as Mr. Benedict had been selected for the place and that he expected him to be confirmed without opposition. Sena tor Murphy has also expressed him sell as pleased with the nomination. Mr. Benedict arrived in Washington to-day and he expects to be confirmed, submit his bond and be sworn in as Public Printer before the 15th of the month. Ex Speaker Reed capped the climax lor absurd and needless filibustering on Saturday, when he prevented the carrying out of a special order setting apart that day for eulogies on the late Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, by forcing an adjournment by raising the point of no quorum on a motion to discharge the warrant irsued by the Sargeant at Arms to arrest absentees during the time the contested election cases, settled last week, were pending. All the blame for this state of affairs does not, however, belong to Reed and the Republicans. There are 218 Democrats in the House, and if 179 of them would remain constantly 'in their seats Reed and his obedient gang would be powerless to stop the wheels of legislation in their efforts to compel the speaker to count a quorum, as they have tried so often to do of late. Coxey's army would better take warning from the treatment mai is being meted out by the Washington authorities to the advance guard of the western wing of his army, which Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. arrived here Saturday night. Tl.cre were forty odd of them. They were met by a detachment of police, march ed off and forked up. Representative Meyer, of Louisiana, has introduce-1 a bill for th coinage of the seigniorage, which meets the objection raised in lli-; Pto.Milcnt's veto and nlso adopts his suggestion of pro viding for nn fesi.e of bonds. But somehow the bill isn't popular.

Free Education For 60,000,000 of People- A Subjoct ol Vital Importance to Every Head of a Family. It was intended from the beginning that the World's Fair should be a great free educator for the millions of people who were expected to attend it. Everything was planned and con structed on this basis. The buildings were carefully plan neJ and erected to represent all the styles and schools of architecture that have prevailed since the building of houses became a science. Our public school system was re produced in all its branches and rami fications, in active working order. The arts and sciences were more fully and satisfactorily outlined than in any other world's exposition that was ever held. Agriculture, manufactures, railroad building, printing, steam, electricity and the other powers that move the world, were displayed on a basis of such grandeur and magnitude that all who saw them were astonished. Everything was on the most gigantic, perfect and satisfactory scale. And yet the Exposition was a dis appointment so far as the fulfillment of its great educational purposes was concerned. There were two reasons for this. 1. The hard times came on and com paratively few of the millions of our people were able to attend the Fair. 2. Those who did go found such a vast aggregation that it was impossible for them to comprehend or understand it. It was like an incoherent dream, where a thousand objects, each utterly different from the other, pass rapidly through a leverish and disordered brain. Hence it may be truly said that the Fair, within itself, and for the pur poses of its creation, was a sad failure. But we are a resourceful people, and when we fail in one direction we win success in another, plucking victo ry from the ashes of defeat. If the Fair was a failure within it self, for the reasons named, it is not a failure in its permanent educational influence ubon the masses of the people those now on the earth as well as those who are to come. The Fair and all its belongings have been reflected and reproduced in hun dreds of accurate, splendid and beau tiful photographs and circulated by the millions among the people, almost without price. Thus every one who so desires can have a permanent re opening of the Fair in his own family with all its pleasures and advantages. No man is true to himself or his family who neglects such an oppor tunity. It is no excuse to plead poverty or inability. Every man is able to spare ten cents a week for these pplen did and valuable World's Fair port folios. They are better than the Fair it self, because they ' not only photo graph, perfectly and beautifully, every thing in and around and about the Fair, but each seperate view is de scribed so that even a child will un derstand it, and thus the permanent educational advantages of the great Exposition can be disseminated all over our broad land and become per manent features and helpers in the free education of the people. Every family should be supplied with these World's Fair portfolios. But in making your selection be sure to get the best and the most useful. In this respect there is none e(;ual to "The Magic City" series. It stands above and beyond all the others. It is more beautiful and it is more com prehensive. It embraces nearly 400 separate views and descriptions while all others are limited to less than 260. It not only covers every part and section of the World's Fair, but of the Midway Plaisance as well tbat grand Congress of Nations, so interesting and instructive to all who desire to obtain knowledge about the different kinds of people who inhabit the earth.

How many, think you, have any idea of tliesufTorliiRondurod hy solnr;n a propor tion of thfl women of America ? Very few men have tho Mihtest con ception of tho pain endured by go many women, even those of their own house holds, or the tierole efforts they make to appear cheerful and happy. Women ought to be told just where, tho dancer lies, for their whole future may depend upon their knowledge, and how to overcome It. Lytlia K. 1'lnkham solved tho mystery after years of experi ence and study. Slio unerringly traced the cause of nearly all of woman's suffering to tho womb. Other years fol lowed and her Vege table Compound was given to the world. And now, after years of marvellous Miid of Orl.sni. success, It Is acknowledged tho unfailing remedy for all forms of female complaints, ovarian troubles, Inflammation and ulcer ation, falling and displacements of the womb, Irregularity, suppressed or pain ful menstruations, leueorrhnea, bloating, flooding, backache, nervous prostration, kidney trouble, etc., and is found on Ilia shelves of all respectable druggists. Such cases as this of Mrs. M. F. Fozzy, of Campcllo, Mass., spuaic volumes. She says: was very sick. I did not ever expect to get up again. Menstruations had stopped sud denly. Tho pains all through my body were terrible. As a last resort I sent for a bottle of Lydia K. rinkham's Vegetables Compound and a box of her Liver Pills. I also used a package of her Sanative Wash. Relief came at once, and to-day I am well woman. Menstruations regular, no backacho, entirely cured of leucorrhcea and bearing down pains. Nothing equals Lydia K. Piukham's Vegetable Compound. Its portraits an. I portraitures of Mid way tyj.es are complete. They leave nothing more to be cksired. We are this week delivering Parts No. 3 and 4 of "The Magic City." It is the best we have yet seen. This is one of the characteristics of this work, it improves in a progressive ratio. It has only two degrees of com parison, better and best. We will deliver the current, either by mail or at the office of the Columbian, for ten cents ahd one coupon, and we will deliver all of the back numbers up to the present one for ten cents each, without coupons. If) oil have not seen 'The Magic City" you ought to send for a sample cojiy at once. "Six days shalt thou labor," says the great lawgiver. To do good work, man must be at his best. This con dition is attained by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It overcomes that tired feeling, quickens the appetite, im proves digestion, and mikes the weak strong. Quite a Distinction. Miss Morris(to Miss Proudell of Philadelphia) I know some Proud ells in New York. Are you related to them? Miss Proudell -Oh, no. Of course not. If there is any connection at all, it is they who are related to us. Just a Scientific) Investigation Karlchen Papa, is the lieutenant a tailor? Father No, my boy. Whatever made you think so? Karlchen I saw him yesterday measuring Fanny's waist. Mulhaiiser Tagblatt. Bright Spring Dajs, The spring should be pre eminently a season of contentment, happiness and hope. In these bright and pleas ant months the country should enjoy i:s highest degree of tranquility and prosperity. But spring, it is well known, is often a period of discom fort and disturbance in the physical system. Important organs of the body become torpid or irregular in their action, and the fact is instantly reflected in the mental condition of the individual. A disordered liver means disordered nerves and a dull and unsteady brain. Anything which will bring the physical system into harmony with budding Nature confers an enoimous benefit upon the nation, besides the mete allaying of physical discomfort. Hood's Sarsaparilla does this, as thousands of grateful and hap py men and women can testify, and increased use of this standard spring medicine is of more real practical im portance in promoting health and quiet in the business world than reams of abstract theorizing. It not only relieves ; it does more, it cures. We refer to One Minute Cough Cure. Suitable for all ages, all conditions, at all times. W. S. Rish ton, Druggist. Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castorla.
