WASHINGTON, Jail. loth, 1896.
The wliip of the Quay Tlatt-Reed
combine seems to be just as effective
among the republicans of the Senate
as it was in the House, but it had to
be heavi y laid upon some of the re
puMican Senators before they would
agree to support the tariff bill arrang
ed by Mr. Reed and passed by his
House, without amendment. They
swore through two long caucuses that
son.c McKinlcy amendments should
be attached to the bill or they would
not inpport it, but at the third caucus
Bo-9 Qnay's wedding of the combine
whip was more than they could stand
and they agreed to support the bill
without amendment, thus scoting
another decisive victory for the Quay-Plutt-Reed
combine. l)ut this does
not make it certain that Mr. Reed's
tariff bill will pass the Senate. Some
votes will have to be gotten either
from the democrats or the populists
to pass it, and if it passes l'residcnt
Cleveland will never sign it.
Ther? is a very decided difference
of opinion in Washington as to how
that call for bids for the purchase of
bonds will result, the majority seeming
to be on the side of those who think
private individuals will not bid, be
cause they haven't the gold.
Senator Gray, of Del., jumped up
on the idrolic idea advanced by
Lodge, of Mass., and supported by
Chandler ("Little llillee "), of N. H ,
that the editor of the New Yoik
World had committed high treason by
obtaining and publishing the views of
prominent Englishmen on the
Venezuela matter and the
bonds, with the following vigorous
language : " Now. in the evening of
the nineteenth century, you cannot
bark back on the track of the dead
centuries and attempt to stifle expres
sion or effort to obtain expression in
this country or abroad. In this coun
try and in all civilized countries a just
public opinion is the final arbiter of
all questions,
one to say, if this suggestion is serious
ly made, that it is impossible in this
day and hour to attempt any inquisi
torial interpretation of a statute for
the purpose of stifling aa exorassion
of public opinion."
There are lots of lawyers in both
House and Senate who regard the
Supreme Court decision against the
constitutionality of the income tax as
a mistaken one, but Senator Vest is
the first one of them who has openly
tttacked the decision. In the course
of a speech, answering Senator Sher
man's recent financial speech, Senator
Vest said of it : " In my judgment
no judgment has ever in the history
of the country been rendered which
ias done so much to destroy the in
duence of that high tribunal and ex
cite distrust on the part of the people
it this country." He declared that
ite would not trust himself to say in
the Senate what he thought of that
lecision, but would leave it to mem
ers of the court who dissented there
rom, and he read from two of those
pinions. Referring to the effect of
he decision he said : " It marks a
new era, and I greatly mistake if the
time does not come when neithei soft
vords nor honeyed praises will prove
1 sufficient apology."
That " Hog combine" was a fil
ing name for the gang who secured
ill the offices of the House was made
ipparent to all when it attempted to
areate 48 new offices, in order to
irovide for that many more of their
followers. But the dose was too big,
ir the members of the Committee on
Accounts, which has charge of the
House contingent fund fiom which it
as proposed to pay thtse 4S addi
' tional officers, were not " fixed." At
. iny rate to the surprise of the " hog
sombine," the committee reported
that " in view of the low ebb of the
.contingent fund, and the utter need
tssness of most of the places " it
-ould only recommend the appoint-
oent of three of the 48 new officials
jrovided for in the resolution. Spirit

like a different woman. For six weeks I took
the pills regularly, and I can truthfully add
after that I was as well as any one in the

take the pills. We buy them all from the drug

Mrs. Charles Newman, of Twelfth Street,
is very enthusiastic over Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and she has every reason to be grateful
for the wonderful cure she has received from
the remedy. Mrs. Newman was a sufferer
with muscular rheumatism. Her right arm
seemed to bo affected tho most, and she wae
miserable for more than a year unable to use
her arm at all and suffering the most awful
tortures.
She used many'remedlcshnt nothing ffemed
to help her at all. One day she noticed the
testimonial in a newspaper or a gentleman in
Canada who was earn) of the same trouble by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and determined to
try a box. She took, in all, nine boxes, and
is entirely cured. She felt the effects of tho
first box and began to Improve immediately.
She has never had any sign of the trouble
since. She had become very nervous and
weak, but the pills strengthened her in every
way. She heartily recommends them to any
one who is troubled with rheumatism, and is
very clad to add her testimonial to the won
derful virtue of the medicine.
Mr. Marvin, of No. 625 Fifteenth Street, is
nn old soldier and a retired Kaptist minister.
At present he is employed in the U. 8. Pen
sion Agency, of Detroit. For many years
Mr. Murvin was troubled with stomach dif
ficulties dyspepsia and all the attending
symptoms, lie doctored with many physi
cians, but with no benefit. Ilis trouble
seemed to be chronic. Some one recom
mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to him one
day, ami ho got two boxes ; by the time tin
had finished the second box he was so much
better tliRt ho left oil taking them.
About this time ho went to I.udington on
a business trrp, and while there wax taken
sick: symptoms of his old trouble appeared
and he employed a physician. For six weeks
he suffered, until one day he remembered the
Pink Pills and sent for them. It had almost
an -immediate effect and be completely re
covered. He Is very glad to recommend thini
to anyone, and will never he without them in
the future. His son is also using them for
general debility and is receiving beneficial
results, although he ha not taken them very
long.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Tecple
are prepared by the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co.. of Schenectady, N. Y., a firm whose
ability and reliability are unquestioned.
Pink Pills are not looked upon as a patent
medicine, but as a prescription, having been
used as such for years in general practice, and
their successful results in curing various afflic
tions made it imperative that they be prepared
in quantities to meet the demand of the public,
and place them in reach of all. They are
an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner
vous headache, the after effects of la grippe,
pulpilation of the heart, pale and sallow com
plexions, anil the tired feeling resulting from
nervous prostration, all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as snppressions, irregularities, aud all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, sud
rcNtore the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold iu boxes (never in loose
form by the dozen or hundred, and the public,
ure cautioned against numerous imitations
sold in this shape) at 60 cents a box or six
boxes for 2.fi0, and may lie had of ull drug.

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would leal back to our
kilchens. In fact, the secret of eood
health is Rood cooking. If well cook
ed, foods arc partially digested if
poorly cooked, they are less digestible
than in their raw state. If you are a
victim of laulty cooking ; that is, if
you suffer from Dyspepsia, the ration
al cure must be looked for in an
artifically digested food, and a food
which will at the same time aid the
digestion of other foods. Such a pre
paratton virtually rests the tired di
gestive organs, thereby restoring them
to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such a preparation, and a single

value. If your druggist doesn't keep

ABOUT THE NLW L0ND3.
Bids for the new $ 1 00,000,000 bonds
will be received up to February 5.
The bonds are to be payed for by
their buyers at the treasury in Wash
ington or at any of the sub treasuries
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis or New Orleans.
The bonds are to be of any size
that biddeis want, from $50 up, but
each must be some multiple of 50.
Any person can subscribe for as much
of the loan as he wants, from $50 to
$100,000,000.
The buyer must pay one-fifth of the
purchase money when his bid is ac
cepted and another fifth of it every
ten days after that till all is paid. Or
he can pay it all at once if he chooses.
Precisely similar bonds to these are
now worth about 117, or 17 per cent,
premium. As they have twenty nine
years to run the man who buys them
now at 117 will get a trifle more than
three per cent, on his actual invest
ment. Each bidder must say in his bid
how many bonds he wants and of
what denominations whether $50
each or $100 or $500 or $1,000 or
$10,000 and how much he is willing
to pay for them. He must also say
whether he wants coupon or register
ed bonds. A coupon bond is one
having little interest slips attached,
so that in order to collect each
quartet's interest the holder has only
to cut off that quarter's coupon and
deposit it in any bank as so much
money. Registered bonds have no
coupons, and their principle and inter
est are payable only to the otder of
the person in whose name they are
registered.
lhe bonds will bear interest on
their face value at the rate of four per
cent, a year, payable quarterly. They
will be dated February 1, 1895, for
convenience, but all coupons up to
February 1 ol this year will be cut oil
before delivery. As part of the next
quarter's interest will have accrued
before the bidder gets his bonds and
will come to him at the end of the
quarter, he must pay the amount of
the accrued interest when be pays for
his bonds. For example, if he gets a
$100 bond on the fifteenth of Febru
ary he will get a dollar inteiest on it
on the first of May ; but fifteen days
of that quaiter will have elapsed be
fore he buys the bond, and so he must
pay the treasury the unearned sixteen
and two-third cents in addition to the
purchase price.

The Logan colliery at Centralia
was the so ne of an accident last
week, that came near crushing out the
life of Mine Boss Thomas Fern, and
laborers, John Hoffer and Anthony
Brezitus, all residents of Centralia.
The accident occurred in the follow
ing manner : They had Just fired a
shot in the gangway and were engag
ed in setting right some timber that
had been loosened by the shot. It
was near the face of the gangway and
the props held some very bail rock.
This f-ll while they were engaged in
fixing the break anJ they were caught
in It.
Fern, is a married rain and has a
family. His injuries were slight, be
ing principally about the neck.
Hoffer is a single man. His shoul
der and head was badly cut and his
leg injured.
Brezitus, a Polandr, was injured
seriously about the hips, and his back
was also hurt. He was the only one
of the three, however, who was taken
to the Miners' Hospital.
