WASHINGTON LETTER.
( From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 6th, 1899.
Considering that they controlled |
only one branch of the Fifty-fifth !
Congress, the Republicans have j
every reason to be proud of the
record left by that Congress, which
has been in several respects one of
the most remarkable in our history
and which has played an important j
part in the world's history. It did ;
not meet all the expectations of the i
country—no Congress ever did and |
probably none ever will—but it did
much that was good and left un
done many things it was urged to
do that would have been bad and !
unwise. It was wise enough, for
instance, to leave the President a '
free hand to deal with the Philip- i
pines while we are finding out what
will be the best thing to do for !
them. President .Mckinley fully 1
appreciates the extent of there- I
sponsibility thus placed upon him,
us well as the great compliment
implied by this confidence in.-' '
and will, in accordance v
usual custom, move e?>
all that he does. ' w
tion has been VCf
mistakes b>
and
ing deposed by their refusal to
follow his lead in support of a
motion to take up the resolution
declaring the seats of Gen. Wheeler
and the other three members of the
House, who went into the army,
i forfeited, reported from the House
j Judiciary Committee, which was
I everwhelmingly voted down, had
I the nerve to get up and announce
j that he would no longer be tlie
| Democratic leader in the House,
| because those of them who did not
| vote with him did not love the
| Constitution as much as he did, or
; words to that effect.
Although the question had already
been decided in the negative by
| President McKinley and liis ad
visers, making legislation upon it
unnecessary, the Foraker amend
, nient to the Army bill, declaring
; that no property franchises in Cuba
during its military occupancy, is
| warmly welcomed by the officials,
j because it will put a stop to the
i applications for such franchises.
The Nicaraugua Canal amend
| nient to the River and Harbor bill,
i as finally agreed upon, authorizes
j the President to appoint a COlll
- mission of Engineers to investigate
the Nicaraugua and Panama Canal
I routes, and report to him in time
j for liini to report to the next Con
gress, and appropriates 81.(100.000
j to pay expenses.
The House succeeded in com
j pel ling the Senate to agree to the
number of new warships authorized
by the original House Naval bill,
j but the limitation of (lie cost of j
j armor to 8300 a ton, in the bill as I
j finally agreed to. makes it inipos- j
| sible to make any contract for con- j
j structing the battleships provided !
j for, without further legislation, be
i cause the bill provides that no eon
tracts shall bo given for the eon- j
j struction of ships until contracts |
] for the armor have been made, and !
| no contracts for armor can be made !
:at that price. Hut Secretary Long
| says lie can and will go right ahead
! with the cruisers provided for. as
the armor they require does not
come under the prohibitory clause
of the bill.
Nothing but good words are
heard of the appointment of ex-
Gov. Mcrriam, of Minn., to be
Superintendent of the Census, al
though his nomination did not
reach the Senate until a few
minutes before final adjournment,
it was promptly and unanimously
confirmed. His business career
leaves no doubt of his making a
success of the Census.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1899
"Don't Tell Them Where You Found fl#"
The above is the name of a new song
issued on the following incident: The
Rev. Thos. Delaney, when Chaplain of
I a large State Penitentiary while pass
i ing through the Hospital Ward was
I called to the bedside of a dying con
-1 vict. The last words of this unfortu
| nate youth were: "Father, I see you
| do not know me, but you know me
! well and my family. I will die to
! night." I prepared his soul's exit into
eternity and whilst his hands were
clasped in mine his last request was
made: "In my dying moment promise
me what I will ask." I here gave him
my word; he then revealed his parent
age who thought him dead. "Now
give me your word that you will send
J my body home, but don't tell them
where you found me." I sent the
; body home to another State, but they
| never knew where I found him. The
Groenk Mrsic Pcbusiiinu Co., 32 E.
I Fifth street Cincinnati, Ohio, will send
I the above song to any address for 20
! cents in silver or stamps; regular price
j 50 cents.
No Right to be Ugly,
i The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac
j tive must keep her health. If she is
| weak, sickly and all run down, she will
;bo nervous and irritable. If she has
j constipation or kidney trouble, her im-
I pure blood will cause pimples, blotches,
skin eruptions and a wretched com
! complexion Electric Bitters is the
medicine in the worlk to regulate
| stomach, liver and kidneys and purify
j the blood. It gives strong nerves,
; bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich
j complexion. It will make a good-look
j ing, charming woman of a run-down
invalid. Only 50 cents at L. Taggart's

Chamberlain's Cough llemedy.
Tiiis remedy is intended especially
for coughs, _ colds, croup, whooping
cough and influenza. It has become
famous for its cures of these diseases,
over a large part of the civilized world.
The most flattering testimonials have
been received, giving accounts of its
good works; of the aggravating and
persistent coughs it has cured; of severe
colds that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the dangerous
attacks of croup it has cured, often
saving the life of the child. The ex
tensive use of it for whooping cough
has shown that it robs that disease of
all dangerous consequences. Sold by
L. Taggart. Jnar

I have been afflicted with rheumatism
for fourteen years and nothing seemed
to give any relief. I was able bo
around all the time, but constantly
suffering. I had tried everything I
could hear of and at last was told to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I did,
and was immediately relieved and in a
short time cured. I am happy to say
that it has not since returned.—Josh.
