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.

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.

WOMAN'S HEROISM.
FEW PEOPLE REALIZE IT.
What Heroic Effort Thry mnke to
Apponr Cheerful nnd Happy.
tflflKTAL TO of. I.AI.V RKAM.ni.)
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

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.

Bloomsbnrg, Pa., March 28, 1894.
We. the undersigned Auditors of tho Town of
Bloomsbnrg, met at the Council room for tho
purpose of performing our duties and do eerttry
that we have examined the foregoing accounts
and statements nnd llud them correct and here
by approve the same.

J. M. STAVEU, )
The foreeolnir statement (nnminl) of the Town
of Bloomsbnrg Is to t ho best of my knowledge
nnd bellcr correct, except that I do not believe
that properties exempted from taxation for ten
years by Town Council should (if legally exemp
ted) be Included In the assessed valuation of
property on which two per cnt. may be legntly
borrowed nnd bonded, and excepting also the
Item set down as due the Land Improvement
Company on rent for Oak Grove Park the lease
of which by t lie town I have refused to acknow
ledge as legal or proper.
FKANC1S P. DKINKEK,
Bloomsbnrg, Fa., 8-29-'Ht. pres. Town council.
I submit also that the fore-
f;olng statement may tie mls

set down as "Liabilities In ex

Our liabilities are therefore
really 40912 71
Our bonded Indebtedness Is
about 38000 05
Which leaves our debt outalde
or bonded debt t 8914 71
To t his must be added am't due
sundries for labor and haul

included in statement, Town
Auditors' bill for year, at tor

In addition to all this we owe
doctors, attorneys, etc., for
what has already been forc
ed upon us In Hlugiose vs.

awarded In the opening of

which will without, doubt
make tho Town's total debt. $500ro 00

The EMERSON PIANO.
These instruments have enjoyed a
high reputation for nioie than forty
years. Are Brilliant and Musical in
Tone, and afford a most beautiful ac
companiment to vocal music the
tone having that rare sympathetic
quality which blends admirably with
the human voice. They are durable,
being constructed of the best Mater
ial?, by the Most Skillful Workmen.
They have earned an especial repu
tation for Keeping in Tune, and also
for tetaining in a most rerrJarkable de
gree their original fulness of tone
never growing thin or wiry with age.
The Emerson Upright Pianos es
pecially have obtained a remarkable
success during the past few years, and
have invariably received a high award
wherever exhibited. In all the essen
tial qualities of a First Class Instru
ment they are second to no pianos
manufactured in the country. Send
for illustrated Catalogue tojjthe Emer-
on Piano Company, no Boylston St
Boston Mass.
