WASHINGTON. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14th, IS9B. How can a President who is an honest and conscientious bimetallist keep a Secretary of the Treasury in his Cabinet who is so wedded to the gold standard as to endorse the state ment that bimetallism—a double standard—is an impossibility ? That was the question asked in the minds of many when Secretary Gage, sitting beside the chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, endorsed that statement made by ex- Senator Edmonds, president of tire so-called monetary conference, and believed to be the paid attorney of the gold' ring, who appeared before that romnn tee in behalf of the gold stand lrd bi 1 prepared by the Com mission. 'I he question would proba bly not have been asked had not Senator Chandler just previously stat ed that he had Mr. McKinley's own word for it that he was in favor of bimetallism, and to clinch his state ment added : "Mr. McKinley is as good a bimetallist as I am." If that is true. Senator Chandler can hardly be a good bimetallist, notwithstand ing his constant claims to be such. Senator Chandler at the same time said that Mr. McKinley told him that the international bimetallism fake was not dead, aud that he intended to send the commission to Europe again. A considerable number of voters were probably fooled in the Presidential campaign by that international bime tallism plank of the republican plat form, but Mr. McKinley must have lost much of the political shrewdness with which he has been credited if he believes it can be used to fool them again. So far as they can be seen, the re sults of the first week's consideration of the Hawaiian treaty by the Senate are not satisfactory to the advocates of annexation. Last week when notice was given that the treaty would be taken up Monday and considered daily until disposed of, its friends were very confident that votes enough were in sight to furnish the two-thirds needed for ratification, and it looked as though their confidence was justi fied. Presto, change : And ratifica tion is again in doubt, owing to the defection of Senators who had been counted for it. Among those who Pave changed and come squarely out against ratification are Senators Thurston, of Nebr., and Gear of lowa, both of whom claim to have been influenced by the sugar beet industry of their states ; and Senators Wellington, of Md., Spooner of Wis., and Mason of 111., are now placed in the "doubtful column. Unless Mr. McKinley can whip these Senators back into line, or bribe hem with patronage, into voting for annexation, there isn't much probability of the treaty being ratified. The boss of the big boss is what. they are calling Senator Joseph Fire alarm Foraker just now. There isn't the slightest doubt that Boss Hanna owes his election to the Sen ate to Foraker, nor that he would rather have owed it to any other man in the wor d. Foraker was in Wash ington waiting for Hanna, through Mr. McKinley, to get down and ask for his Help and agree to his terms. Hanna thought he could buy his way through without regard to Foraker. At the last minute he got rattled and notified Mr. McKinley to get Foraker's help on the best terms he could, but to get it. It took Mr. Mc- Kinley and Senator Foraker two or three hours to come to terms, but in the end I' oraker had his way and had sent the telegram to Columbus that ensured Hanna's election to the Sen ate. The terms upon which Mr. McKinley secured Foraker's assist ance for Hanna were, of course, secret, but they probably include much that would interest Ohio repub licans and were certainly advantage ous personally to Foraker. The irrepressible Jerry Simpson in jected a little amusement into the close of the civil service debate in the House by telling the anti's that whether they would be allowed to consider a bill for the modification or repeal of the civil service law, later on, would depend entirely on the Speaker, of whom he added : "He is the whole thing and runs the House." Amid the laughter which followed Lemuel Eli Quigg, Boss Piatt's man, tried to get funny by turning to Jerry and asking : "Have you consulted the Speaker ?" Quick as a flash Jerry replied : "No : he never con sults me and I never consult him." The republican members of the Senate committee on Finance want to pigeon-hole the Stanley Matthews resolution, declaring that all the U. S. bonds are payable in silver, at the option of the government, which was offered by Senator Teller, and referr ed to this committee. They say that the reporting of the resolution will cause needless agitation ; that it has Veen adopted by Congress and that it r eadoption now by the Senate, wf ' i it is known that the House would not be allowed to vote upon it, would accomplish nothing. But the democrats have no idea of allowing the resolution to be smothered. Tney intend that it shall be reported and voted upon. It will put the Senators on record, as well as serve as a notice to the gold standard administration tiiat its efforts for gold bond legisla tion also belong in the "needless agitation" class. The House having let off its sur plus steam in discussing the civil ser vice question a whole week is now j°gging along with routine work on the appropriations. How's This?

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says in its issue of this week : The year has opened with a very satisfactory prospect. It is all the better that there is no wild excitement in the speculative markets, and while stocks advance a little grains yield a little. Earnings of all railroads in the United States reporting for Decem ber) indicate substanti ally the same rate of increase exceed ing last year's by 10.5 per cent., and the earnings for 1892 for the same roads by 1.3 per cent. Since 1892 was on the whole the most prosperous year thus far, comparisons indicate, not withstanding the lowest prices ever known, that the volume of business is larger, and in spite of some cutting in rates, the earnings of railroads are larger than in the best year of past history. The iron furnaces in blast January 1 report an output of 226,608 tons weekly against 226,024 weekly Dec ember 1, with an increase of 12,481 tons in the unsold stocks held by furnaces. While this shows a con sumption per cent, larger than a year ago, there would be discouraging indications of consumption but for the fact that several furnaces were stop ped for the holidays, and these, with several others, have started since Jan uary 1, while the demand for finished products does not diminish. The Pennsylvania railroad has ab sorded 100,00 tons steel rails and a new railroad in Maine 12,000 tons, and other orders for cars, railroad sup plies, plates, bars and structural mat erial are unusually large for the sea son. The woolen manufacturers have been buying wool largely and for rea sons not publicly explained. It is evi dent that large orders have been taken by the leading mills and at prices which they find satisfactory, and the rush of small mills to buy wool has made most of the market during the week, although sales have declined about forty per cent, compared with the previous week. Failures for the week have been 345 in the United States against 455 last year, and forty-five in Canada against seventy-one last year. DR. AGNEW'S GATARRHAL POWDER. —Rev. W. H. Main, pastor of the Baptist Emanuel Church, Buffalo, gives strong testimony for and is a firm believer in Dr. Agnew's Catarrh al Powder. He had tried many kinds of remedies without avail. "After using Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder I was benefitted at once," are his words. It is a wonderful remedy. It relieves instantly.—-70. Sold by C. A. Kleim. Hurst Will Umpire. No less than 300 umpires and gentlemen who believe they are Dless ed with base ball wisdom have ap plied to President Nick Young for the positions that have been created under the double umpire system, and he is having a merry time weeding out the good from the bad. Up to date he has selected two new officials, and their names are given here for the first time. They are Ed. Swart wood, a member of last year's East ern League staff, and Tom Connolly, an umpire in the New England League. Although Tim Hurst, of Ash land, was not an applicant, he has been asked by President Young to hand in an application at an early date, with every assurance that he will be selected. When bilious or costive, eat a Cas caret, candy catharic, cure guaranteed. I ioc, 25c. 4-j-i . THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOM3BURG, PA, BASEBALL MATTERS. Meeting of the League Soon—The William sport Demorests. The Demurest management have signed a complete team for the com ing season, and in it there will be but two familiar faces—"Cappy" Martin and "Jimmy" Delaney. The con tracts have been signed, and the play ers will report as soon as the season opens. The team is an aggregation of hard hitters, and five of them are college men. They are as follows : Frank Spranger, of Detroit, a catcher, who will probably captain the team, a good hitter and coacher ; George B. Hayes, of Fordhatn college, '97 catcher, now studying law in New York city ; M Jacobs, of Pittsburg, first base, a six-footer who last year played with Albion N. Y. ; "Cappy" Martin, second base ; A. Courtmarsh, short stop, a crack-a-jack from Al bany and Montreal ; Fred Cargo, third base, a brother of "Bobby" Cargo, and a good one ; Harry P. Folsum, New York city, left field, who aspires to the National League ; B. E. Hamlin, Attleboro, Mass. ; a Maine state college man, tor centre field or short stop ; Lewis W. Metz, of Cumberland, Md., who played in 1896 with the Hartford ' Atlantic League team, outfield, or substitute third base. The pitchers are to be Charles Gehring, a south-paw from Dennison, 0., who won 19 out of 26 games in the Iron and Oil League in 1896 ; O. L. Kiehl, Chicago, who has a record of 22 strike-outs in a game ; and "Jimmy" Delaney. The first two pitchers are college men. It is believed that none of the new men are drinkers, which will do away with the chief cause of the failure last year. A meeting of the Central League will be held in Milton on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 5, at 2 p. ni. If I'iesident Miller refuses to officially call the meeting, the managers will do sir. Roach and Cody, of Renovo, will slay at home this year, and organize a Renovo team. They may ask for admission to the league. There will probably be no prelimi nary season this year, the management preferring to wait until the league season opens, and playing practice games without spectators looking on. BAD HEART—COULD NOT LIE DOWN FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.—"I was unable to lie down in my bed for eighteen months, owing to smothering spells caused hy heart disease. One bottle of Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart removed the trouble, and to day I am as well as ever I was," —L. W. Law, Toronto Junction. This is but one of a thousand such testi monies to the merits of this great cure.—69, Sold by C. A. Kleim. Value of Vital Statistics. The keeping of general statistics in regard to life and health has been the best sanitary measure ever adopted. If an unusual number of deaths oc curred in any given locality, investiga tion has at once thus been directed to the cause. It has been shown that mortality is the highest in overcrowd ed slum districts of the cities. Im mediately thereupon measures have been taken to pull down the over crowded, unsanitary buildings, to scatter the population and to make them observe more cleanly habits. If an epidemic or contagious disease prevailed, the friendly statistics show ed that, too, and immediately health authorities studied to provide re medies and take precautions against the spread of the sickness. Nearly 60 years ago Mr. William Farr, who became associated with the English health registry office, recom mended that a strict record be kept of every case of illness from any cause whatever in each small district, so that every time anybody was sick in the whole United Kingdom it might be noted down. This plan ought to be adopted everywhere. The fact that a public record would be kept of him and his case every time a person had an illness of any sort would go far toward frightening people into keeping perfectly well. It is not a remedy put up by any Tom, Dick or Harry; it is compound ed by expert pharmacists. Ely Bros, offer alO cent trial size. Ask your druggist. Full size Cream Balm 50 cents. We mail it.

Unwilling to trust to either rope or pistol singly to end his life, Christian N. Holsinger of Lancaster, last Friday used both. Having adjusted a rope about his neck and tied the other end to a rafter in his uncle's barn, at Lin coln, Holsinger leaped from a box that he had improvised as a scaffold, at the same time firing a bullet into his brain. Holsinger, aged 19, recently pass ed an examination for admission to the ranks of school teachers. The cause of his suicide was love. A note was found in his pocket, which read : "The one who loved you can see you no more, and sent this. Forget me if you can. lam in sorrow and can bear it no longer. 1 decided to do this deed before, but could not because I loved you too much. "Send this to Miss Brackbill." Miss Estelia Brackbill is the daugh ter of a farmer and hotel keeper, at Brownstown, a few miles from the home of young Holsinger, and is 18 years of age. Holsinger was deeply in love with her, but his attentions were not encouraged, and recently the your g woman manifested a cool | ness that, it is supposed, drove him to his rash act. School Girls Buy Cigarettes, Whole Schools Being Corrupted by the Smoking Habit. The cigarette habit has grown to such an extent among the pupils of the Homestead public schools that Superintendent John C. Kendall pro poses to resort to radical means to suppress it. The habit is not confined to the boys. Recently the ma'e pupils here persuaded some of the girls to buy cigarettes instead of candy, and but for the timely discovery of their inclination to yield, cigarette smoking would doubtless have become general among tne pupils regardless of sex. In view of the gravity of the situa tion Superintendent Kendall has de cided to enforce the law relating to cigarette dealers, which makes them liable to a fine of S3OO for selling cigarettes to boys under sixteen years of age.
