THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. PA COMES. Where did you come from, baby drart Out of the CTcrywhert into the here. Where did you Ret your eye no bluer Out of tlie sVy I came throogh. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin ? Borne of the atarry aplkes let in. Where did yon (ret that Httle tear? 1 found it waiting when I got here. The fact ia as sad aa it ia true that the baby finds the tear waiting to dull its blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At the first it " has no language but a cry." Ita one necessity is but to give expres sion to its suffering, and for that a tear suffices. The mother who stoops in anguish w the wailing child would do any thing to ease its suffering. But she is helpless. The time when she could have done so much for her child is past. She did not realize that in those anxious nervous days when she shrank from the ordeal of motherhood she was preparing suffering for the baby. The path of motherhood is soothed nd made easy for those who use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It gives physical buoyancy and mental bright ness. It tranquilizes the nerves, en courages a healthy appetite and induces refreshing sleep. It gives the mother atrenirth for her hour of trial, and the confidence and content which come from strength. It makes the birth hour practically painless, and by increasing the natural, food secretions, it enables the healthy mother to enjoy the happiness of nursing her child. "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or any other narcotic. A Mother's Gratitude I would like to express my gratitude to you tor tne Dencnt l nave received from your womlerful medicine, ' Favorite Prescrip tion,'" writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, ot South Britain, New Haven Co., Coim., (Box j,u. "During the first month ot expectancy I could not keep auythiug on my stomach. Was so sick that I had to ro to bed and &lav tor weeks. I tried different doctors, but with little benefit. I read about manv be Inn helped by using your medicine, so I thought I would me it a trial. I began to take your ' Favorite Prescription ' in November and I had a nice little girl baby in February following. Mv baby weighed over eight pounds. I was only sick bout one hour, aud gut along nicely afterward; was up and dressed ou the eighth day, I never had the doctor with me at all; just the nurse and one or two friends. My friends thought that I was sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is indeed a true 1 mother' friend,' for it helped me wonderfully. This makes my second child; with the first one I did at take Favorite Prescription. The little one lived just about two months and she was sick all the time. This last baby ia aa plump and healthy as any mother could wish." Muoh Better Health. Mrs. Annie Blacker, Catherine Street, Syracuse, N. v., writes : " Your med icines have done wonders for me.

The announcement on Monday that the (Committee on Rules of the House of Representatives had determined to report favorably upon Representative Crumpacker's resolution providing for the appointment by the Speaker of a select committee to investigate the question of suffrage in its relation to Congressional representation in the southern states, caused great indigna tion among the democratic represent atives in Congress who see foreshad owed by this initiative another force bill and all the attendant resuscitation of the animosities which once ex isted between the North and South. Representative Richardson, demo cratic leader of the House, told me Thursday that the democrats would use every legitimate effort to prevent this undesired end. He said, "I re gard the whole movement as an at tempt at the violation of the rights of the South. It is pernicious and fraught with danger. Any investiga tion of this nature, if undertaken at all, should be undertaken on purely non partisan ground and there is every reason to believe that the action of the proposed committee would be partisan in the extreme. That the republican leaders should contemplate such a move at this time is a revela tion, even to me. of the weakness they feel in approaching the coming elec tions but they will defeat their own objects for such methods will not le ceive the support of their own party. There is no question but that it will prove a boomerang and will result in material democratic gams." Senator Bailey of Texas, whom I saw in regard to the proposed move, expressed himself as follows: "It is a matter of grave regret to me that the leaders of a great party in their desire to serve partisan ends should permit themselves to take action which is cal culated to disturb the growfng feeling of peace and goodwill between the Nonh and the South and which all patriotic Americans have striven to promote. Of course there is no ques tion but that this action is aimed at certain Southern states. That is ad mitted even by the promoters of the movement and the result must be the renewal of that sectional strife in poli tics which we have all tried long and successfully to obliterate. The South ern people have abandoned force and every objectionable method of pre serving their homes and saving them selves from inevitable disaster and have relied on purely constitutional means and I am loth to believe that the better element of the republican party in the North will approve of this political move. It is ill-advised and narrom in conception and naturally every democrat will resist it to the utmost." Representative Sulzer, speaking for the democracy of New York, said : "This attempt by the republicans of the House is not fraught with danger. It will be condemned not only by the Northern democrats but by Northern republicans. It will make hundreds of votes for the democratic party and would unite the paity as would noth ing else I could think of. As legis lative action it will be a failure, as a political move it will be disastrous to the party which gave it birth. Were the investigation to be carried on impartially in the Northern as well as in the Southern states and by a non-partisan committee, were the leg islative frauds of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other Northern states to be as thoroughly investigated as the suffrage question in the South, the democrats would not object to the proposition, but they realize that such is not the case and they can only regard it as an attempt to limit the voice of the Southern states in the affairs of the nation. As such it will be vigorously resisted. a On Monday the republicans added one more to the long list of class measures they will be asked to ac count for to the people at the polls, when they voted in the Sen ate for the passage of the ship sub sidy bill. The measure was passed with but six dissenting republican votes and even the amendment offered by Senator Pettus of Alabama, which placed a limitation on the amount which might be expended under tne provisions of the bill, was rejected, so that it it becomes a law there is no telling what the cost will be to the government. Every resource ot logic and rhetoric which could be summon- I td to the defense of the rights of the people was used against this pernicious measure by its democratic opponents in the brilliant debate which preceded its passage but to no avail. There is considerable gossip attached to its pas sage and it is said that a direct trade was made between those senators from the west whose constituents are oppos ed to the measure, and the senators from the east, votes for the antioleo margarine bill being promised in ex change for votes for the subsidy bill On Tuesday the Senate devoted it self to the consideration of the bill for the protection of the President. Sen ator Bacon of Georgia, defending his amendment making the provisions of the bill applicable only to those per sons who might assault the President, or his possible successors, because of their position, severely arraigned the growing tendency of the republicans to legislate on lines similar to those of monarchical countries and condemn ed tne quotation of Great Britain on every hand. The bill is expected to pass today. It will be followed by the anti-olco margarine bill and that, in truth, by the Chinese exclusion bill. The program of the republican steer ing committee is to pass the bill re pealing the war taxes with a minimum of debate, take up the .eight remain ing appropriation bills and adjourn early in June, avoiding, in as far as possible, all further discussion of those questions on which the democrats hold opposite views from themselves as they realize that the debates which would follow their consideration would be productive of telling effect in the coming election. I am told that even the Philippine government bill will be permitted to go over to the short ses sion, as the republican leaders believe that further discussion of the Philip pine question before the election will be productive of injury to the party. "Keep the people in the dark as far as possible," will be the motto for the rest of the session. The House of Representatives is still at work on the River and Harbor bill but hopes to send it to the Senate this week. As predicted in a previous letter, the House republicans have yielded to the pressure brought to bear on them by the President and the Speaker, and have agreed to sup port the Ways and Means bill provid ing fur reciprocity with Cuba to the extent of a 20 per cent, reduction of the Dingley Tariff rates for a period limited to December 1st, 1903. Last week at a democratic caucus of the House, resolutions extending sympathy to the Boers, urging Great Britain to entertain peace proposals and pleading the democrats to use every effort to secure the adoption of similar resolutions by Congress, were adopted. Act of 1899 is Unconstitutional. So Says Judge Wheaton. Judge Wheaton, of Luzerne County, has decided that the act of 1899, which provides that County commis sioners shall purchase bridges is un constitutional. In part Judge Wheaton finds that the Act of 1899 is special legislation, because it relates to toll bridges only, also because of the toll bridges to which it relates. It legislates only for those upon which the tolls " have become burdensome to the people," and because of such toll bridges upon. which the tolls have become burden-' some, it covers only such as at the date of its approval, May 5, 1899,1 "shall have beeti erected and now in ! use," making no provision for such ' bridges as come within its terms, which may be erected and in use after that date. The judge says: Treating the act as an attempt to classify bridges, and conceding that the class is particular ly described, to wit: ' certain toll bridges,' and a proper reason given for such classification, to wit: 'burden some tolls," is the result reached calculated to produce uniformity as to the designated class, or the con trary of uniformity? " The judge then goes into the law and shows that the Act is not con sistent, that toll bridges erected be fore the Act of 1899 could be pur chased by the provision ot that Act, while those erected atter the passage ot the Act would come under the previous Act ot 1876. He concludes: "I see no ground for distinguishing between a special and local Act con ferring power upon bridge companies, as for example, to collect certain rates of toll, assumed to be founded upon a necessity arising out' of the location or cost of a particular class of bridges, and special or local Act conferring power upon some body to something with reference to depriving certain bridge owners of their pro perty and franchises. Both are special and local laws Telating to bridges, and unless founded upon classification, and a right of such classification, arising from necessity, and so framed us to be likely to pro duce uniformity vith reference to the class for which legislation is in tended, they are equally obnoxious to the constitution. " For these reasons I am pf the opinion' that the Act of May 5, 1899, is unconstitutional."

Lords' Day Wetk, April 6 13, 1902 To the Pastors of Columiua Co. Science more and more points min to God. It acctimtilatss pro f that "Rest one tlay in seven or suffer" it nature's law, written by Go! all through the material, mental, social and spiritual realms. History says Man's Holy Rest Day is a chief foundation of individual and national liberty and prosperity, as well ts of Chtistian life. Those ancient states men, Jeremiah, Ezekicl, and Nehe miah, declared its desecration to be the chief cause of national ruin. It is "a holy pause that God may have time by his own touch to repair the waste and mischief wrought during six days, and exalt toward his own. ideal" Yet the tendency to debase this Holy Day into a holiday has acquired terrible momentum 1 and the saloon powers imperiously demand its sur render to their greed. But there is no more reason for deciding by local option whether we. surrender the Sab bath to the saloon than lor so decid ing whether wp surrender marriage, the other Edenic institution, to poly gamy. If this day for mans purification and exaltation is debased into a holi day and saloon tlay, our nation must soon descend from its pinnacle of glory and opportunity, such as no na tion has before achieved, to degrada tion and ruin. Is it not time that all lovers of Christ and humanity unite in vigorous. organized effort to avert this ruin ? God is able and eager to help ; but only in answer to united, earnest prayer and selfdenying activity. Sev eral recent events greatly encourage such prayer and activity, notibly the conditioning of the nation's gift to the St. Louis Exposition on a contract to close it every Sabbath, the stopping of Sunday excursions in several cities, especially in Michigan, Wisconsin. Iowa, Georgia and Nebraska, and in Canada, and the successful demands of some labor forces are very gener ally co-operating with the Lords' Day Alliance in opposition alike to the work day and the holiday Sundays. We, the un lersigned, therefore remind all lovers of Christ ofthe twenty-fourth annual Lonts Day Week, April 6 ij, and urge them to devote as much of it as practicable to prayer .that God will arouse the whole church to zeal in educating all citizens by persistent use of the voice and press to understand its true nature and wotth, and in securing such Sabbath sentiment as shall make keeping it holy a joy, and impel officers to enforce Sunday laws. We especially urge every one to en force such prayer and effort by ex ample, having no fellowship with Sun day papers, trains, trade, or sports, and filline the day with joyful worship of God and service of humanity. We request each pastor to preach on this subject during this week, and each church, young people's society, and W. C. T. U. to devote at least one meeting to its prayerful considera tion, seeking three definite results 1st, A Higher Standard of Sabbath Keep ing among Christians, 2nd, Release of as many as Possible from Sunday toil; 3rd, Preventing Sunday Amusements, Kspecially Sunday Excursions and Games. We urge that leaflets in reference to the Sabbath be distributed during that week in every home, and as far as possible arrangements be made tor such distribution bi monthly there after. Rev. J. B.
