(live Him a Republican Congress.
The importance of sending lie- I
publicans to Congress next winter. J
in both houses, cannot be too j
strongly impressed upon the people. '
Legislation of the greatest import- j
ance will be required to close up j
our war affairs. It would be the
height of folly to elect men who j
would make it a study to throw !
every obstacle in the way of Presi- \
dent Mckinley in adjusting affairs i
favorable to this country. The j
following pertinent article on the
subject from the New York Mail
and Express, will be concurred in |
by every true Republican:
These are triumphs for the Pre- j
sident which the people can repay !
in but one way—that is by giving !
him a senate and a house of repre
sentatives after March 4 next that
will be in political harmony with i
him and all that he stands for be- !
fore the people. The work of 1896
is only half finished. One session j
of a democratic congress, with a '
senate constituted as at persent,
would work quite as much damage !
as did the last democratic congress, 1
for while tlie executive veto can
prevent legislation it cannot allay i
apprehension. No doubt the Cuban i
and silver questions are in a fair !
way to be settled, as every one i
says, but let a democratic majority
in congress be chosen at the polls j
in November and people will begin j
to learn that the snake is not dead. I
only scotched. There is, therefore, j
quite as much necessity for pa
triotic people to pull together in the
elections this fall as there was in
1890, and they have an additional
incentive to do so in that President
McKinley's administration has
moved exactly along the lines
promised them. If men ever had i
compensation for leaving their
party in order to serve their coun
try certainly the democrats who in
18i)<; supported McKinley have had
it in the tremendous changes in the |
condition of the people and the !
country. Their veto of 189.3, how
ever in vain, if they are now to
regard the merely negative results j
in legislation of the presidential 1
victory. The situation at Wash- I
ington is merely that of two oppos- I
ing forces, neither one of which is
able to carry out its own convic
tions. The gold standard is in the
majority in the republican house of
representatives and in the minority
in the politically chaotic senate.
Monetary reform has its champions
in the house and has its opponents
in the senate.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
iFrom our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12,1898.
President McKinley doesn't
believe that the war was badly
managed. On the contrary, he
knows that it was, as a whole,
well managed—so well managed as
to surprise the world by the results
accomplished in an increditably I
short time. He has no idea that j
the most thorough investigation of J
the conduct of the war will uncover I
any mysteriou. evil, or that it is j
necessary to find a scape-goat for
some great wrong, lint he does
believe that a dignified, dispassion
ate and scientific inquiry, made by
men of broad guage minds and ac
complishments. will be valuable in
i showing up weak spots in our
I present system of running the
| quartermaster, commissary and
j medical departments of our army —
j a system intrenched in laws that
l right or wrong, under existing
I conditions, must be carried out
until the laws are changed. In
I other words, that a thorough in
| qnirv will result in pointing out
| the changes that should bo made to
i improve the system, it was be
i cause of litis belief that President
, McKinley concluded to order the
inquiry made that was requested
by Secretary Alger. The Commis
| sion entrusted with the duty of
making this inquiry, will be coni
i posed of men who are widely known
| and whose findings will be accepted
1 by the entire country. < Jenerals
Mile's and .Shatter, who are both
in Washington, say they will wel
| come the closest scrutiny of their
! every act, and the same sentiments
are expressed by Sergt. < Jen. Stern
berg, and (Jen. Eagan, head of the
Commissary Department. The
latter is so confident that bis de
partment is all right that he says
i lie wishes the President would
j have the inquiry made entirely by
: his political opponents.
Owing to the rapidity with which
' money is accumulating in the
| Treasury, Secretary (Jage has noti
fied the holders of the old currency
! "sixes," which will be payable Jan.
| 1, next, of his willingness to redeem
I them whenever presented. There
| are about $14,000,0(11) outstanding
!in these bonds. He lias also offer
! Ed to anticipate the October inter-
I est on the four per cent bonds. It
| will be the special aim of Secretary
■ ( Jage to see that the money is got
I back into circulation fast enough to
I prevent any disturbance in busi
i ness circles.
Gov. Sliaw, of lowa, came to
I Washington to see about getting
| the volunteers from bis state mus
j tered out, but the matter had been
determined before his arrival, by
! the decision of the War Department
j to muster out one-half of the troops
from each state. In reply to a
question as to the political outlook
i in his state, Gov. Shaw said: "The
|'political situation in lowa is about
| as satisfactory to the Republicans
as they could wish. An election
i is to be held in November for State
I Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney Gen
eral, and two members of the
Supreme Court, and the verdict
| will be in favor of the Republican
| ticket by a rousing majority. Our
State Convention this year adopted
I about tlie most emphatic sound
; money plank that has been pro
mulgated anywhere." Represent
ative Cousins, who was with Gov.
Shaw, said the state would send a
solid Republican Congressional
delegation, as a matter of course.
Commissioner Evans has issued
a statement in answer to the charge
| made by Kansas Populists, that
his administration of the Pension
j Bureau was harsh and unjust. He
! shows that the average number of
| pensions allowed under him has
: been much higher than under his
j predecessor, and the average num
ber of rejections much lower, a
showing which would not be pos
sible if the charge was true, One
source of grumbling has been that i
Commissioner Evans has, front the
day he assumed office, given appli- I
cation for original pensions pre- {
cedence over application for an in- \
j crease, on the ground that those J
j who had no pension should be j
waited upon before those who bad !
a pension that they wished increas- j
ed, but no amount of grumbling j
i can make that an unjust policy. j
The five American Peace Com- !
| tnissioners—Secretary Day, Sena- <
[ tors Davis, Frye, and Gray, and j
Hon. Whitelaw Reid—will hold a |
| conference with President M;: Ki- ;
■ ley this week, for the purpose of
| receiving their instructions. They
are to sail from New 7 York on the
17th, inst. No official announce- I
I inent has been made, nor will be [
made of what demand this govern
ment will make, but there is a
strong belief in Washington, that
so far as the Philippines are con
cerned, it will be confined to the
absolute possession of the Island of
Luzon, the largest and most pros
perous of the group, and the
establishment of a guaranteed fair
government for the rest of the
islands, Avith open ports for com
merce. While the President will
tell the Commissioners what he
thinks the treaty should contain,
he will not insist upon their at
tempting to secure precisely that,
being perfectly willing for them to
act as in their discretion they may
deem best, having absolute confi
dence? that they will not agree to
anything that will not be approved
by the country and by himself.
If it be true that "Whom He lovetli
He chasteneth." God must luivo a
great, consuming love for the Demo
cratic party!—Henry Watterson.

A Clevor Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak
kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles,
j We mean he can cure himself right
j away by using Electric Bitters. This
j medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to 'iverand kidneys,
is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It
cures constipation, headache, fainting
spells, sleeplessness and melancholy.
It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative,
and restores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced th.it they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
Only 50 cents a bottle at L. Taggart's
drug store.
An ordinary canteen holds two
quarts. With the 277,000 canteens
filled the army would carry 3,644 hogs
heads.
Right in It.
That's where Dr. Caldwell's Syrup 1
Pepsin is. The greatest remedy for j
the stomach that was ever put to- :
gether. Absolutely vegetable with the j
exception ofthe Pepsin. Are you con- j
Btipated? Then try Syrup Pepsin. I
Have you indigestion or sick headache? !
Then use Syrup Pepsin. Spend 10c. j
for a trial bott'e and you will be con- >
vinced. Large sizes 50c. and SI.OO. L. j

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land
who are not. afraid to he generous to
' the needy and suffering. The proprie
* : tors of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
1 given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and have
1 the satisfaction of knowing that it has
cured thousands of hopeless cases.
1 Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all
i diseases of the throat, chest and lungs
- are surely cured by it. Call on L. Tag
gart, druggist, and get a trial bottle
5 | free. Regular size 50c. and sl. Every
. bottle guaranteed, or price refunded.
1 |To furnish shoes for our army would
. 1 require the skins of 8-1,622 calves, not

I "You ean bo fairly well dressed with

. j way a fashion writer begins an article.
We trust it will not become fashion-

ing well and that your stomach was
