POINTED COrmENT.
French caricaturists must be very
bitter or John Bull must be very thin
skinned to make so much fuss over a
tritle. He ought to take a course in
American politics.
Mr. Bryan's positive refusal to ac
cept the appointment as Senator trom
Nebraska implies that the former boy
orator does not expect ever to come to
Washington in an official capacity.
If Billy Mason really desires to do
something practical for the Boers, why
does he not place an embargo on those
thousands of Missouri mules that are
being shipped to the Transvaal for use
by the British ?
Thus far Lincoln and Grant were the
only Republican statesmen honored by
a Presidential nomination without a
contest, but unless all signs are awry,
the honor will also fall to William Mc-
Kinley next June.
It might bo well for some of those
loud-voiced critics of the President's
message to read the document. Its
perusal would increase their general
fund of information, and give them
broader views of American policies
and institutions.
Mr. Cannon of the House Committee
on Appropriations seems to think that
this will be another billion dollar Con
gress. Well, what of it? This has be
came a billion dollar country despite
the calamity shouts of Mr. Bryan and
iiis clique.
Why should National Republican
Convention be controlled by delegates
from states that never went anything
but Democratic and never will? Why
should Texas have as much to say as
Massachusetts in nominating a Repub
lican President?
About this time of year Congress is
usually besieged by a multitude of
communications, from persons who
know just how the affairs of state
should be conducted. Strange to re
late, however, the neighbors of these
monopolizers of wisdom never elect
them to Congress.
•.»
Just now Great Britain is much ex
ercised because the Boers are using
dumdum bullets. At the Hague, it
will be remembered, Great Britain was
one of the countries which refused to
vote for the exclusion of this kind of
bullets from modern warfare. Evi
dently it makes a difference to John
Bull who is at the business end of a
dumdum.
It might be well to remind those
vociferous persons who declare that
the Republican party is the party of
trusts that a majority of the Justices
of the Pnited States Supreme Court
are Republicans, and that the recent
decision against the pipe trust is the
severest blow that monopoly trust has
received iu many years.
The Governor of Guam has applied
to the War Department for an ice I
manufacturing machine. This appli
cation should not be understood as evi
dence that the natives are making it
hot for him, or that they gave him a
cool reception, which be wishes to re
turn in kind. Doubtless, lie is about to
introduce the natives to some of the
comforts ot up-to-date living.
With not a Democratic Governor in
the North, not a single Democratic
Senator from a northern state, .and
with New York, Now Jersey and Con
necticut strongly entrenched in the
Republican pyramid, it would seem as j
though Mr. Bryan's leading of the !
Democratic ass is direct to the dismal !
swamp of defeat again next year. But ;
Republicans will be glad to see the !
Bryan leadership.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. IStli, I.SU'.I.
Speaker Henderson had an un
usual experience in connection with
the Republican Financial Bill,
which was to-day passed by the
Mouse, by a decisive majority, in
clmling every Republican member
of the Mouse and a few Democrats,
and he is naturally much pleased.
Me had the honor of being Chair
! man of the Caucus Committee
which prepared the bill as well as
being the Speaker of the Mouse
that passed it. The bill will go
over to the Senate at once, but
whether it will be reported to the
Senate from the Finance Commit
tee. to which it will be referred,
with amendments, or whether the
bill prepared by the Republican
members of that committee, during
the summer recess, which differs
somewhat from the Mouse bill, will
be reported as a substitute, is not
yet positively known, although the
I chances favor tlie latter action,
j President Mckinley left a num
l her of prominent men waiting in
1 his oilice while he accompanied
! Mrs. Mobart, who had been in
j Washington several days, arrang
j ing for the removal of her late hus
band's personal property to her
New Jersey home, to the railroad
station. It was a thoughtful and
courteous act, but Mr. MeKinleyis
one of the most thoughtful and
courteous of men at all times.
Republicans in the Mouse enjoy
ed the little spat over Kentucky
politics, between Representatives
Kerry and Wheeler, of that State,
both Democrats. Mr. Berry is an
anti-doehel Democrat, while Mr.
Wheeler is a, (ioebel man. The
most significant thing about thi«
Democrat squabble was the declara
tion of Mr. Wheeler that (Joebel
would be Governor of Kentucky
before Spring, which indicates an
intention on the part of the Goebel
ites to try to get the legislature to
oust (iovernor Taylor and put (Joe
bel in. It has been understood for
some days in Washington, that Joe
Blackburn was working towards
that end. because as long as he can
keep the govern ship dangling be
fore the eyes of < ioebel. he can keep
(ioebel from trying to get the Sena
torship. At the conclusion of the
Democratic washing of dirty linen,
Representative Boreing of Ky., a
Republican, make a few remarks.
Me said: - 'I am willing to admit
that one faction of the Democratic
party in Kentucky is just as bad
as the other faction says it is, but
in so far as 1 understand the re
marks of Mr. Wheeler, that the
election of (Jen. Taylor was accom
plished by fraud and rascality, 1
desire to denounce that as untrue.
The election was held by a (ioebel
Democratic commission, under the
(ioebel election law, enacted for the
express purpose of elevating (ioebel
to power. It must be in bad taste
and must be humiliating to both
Mr. (Joebel and his representative
upon this floor, to announce that
they appealed from the decision of
their own board."
The choice of Philadelphia for
tlie Republican convention city
of next year, by a majority of one
vote in the .National Committee,
was most fitting in view of the
brotherly love now existing in the
Republican party, which is more
harmonious than at any time in its
history, and of the fact that the
ticket is 1 ikely to be nominated by
acclamation. Chicago lost the
convention by over-conlidence, ac
cepting the belief that it was bound
to be chosen, instead of hustling;
New York was never seriously con
sidered.
The membership of the three new
Senate Committees, created to deal
with legislation affecting our new
possessions and Cuba is one of
which the country may be proud;]
they contain as much ability as
any three committees in the Sen
ate. Senator Foraker is Chairman
of the Committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico, and the Republi
can members are (Jallinger, Per
kins. Fairbanks, Nelson, SleComas,
and 1 >epew: the Democratic mem
bers are Cockerill, Pettigrew. who j
was classed as a Democrat in the!
Committee assignments; Mallory,
and Clark, of Montana. Senator
Lodge is Chairman of the Commit- !
tee on the Philippines, and the ■
Republican members are Allison, j
Male. Davis, Proctor, Mcßride, j
and Beveridge; the Democratic!
members are Rawlins, Turley, end !
Culbertson, leaving one vacancy, j
which will probably goto Allan, i
who has been appointed by the \
(iovernor of Nebraska to fill a j
vacancy. Senator Piatt, of Conn.,
is Chairman on the Committee on
relations with Cuba, and the Re
publican members are Aid ridge, I
Culloni, Davis, McMillan, Chand
ler, and Spooner; the Democratic
members are Teller, who is classed
as a Democrat, although he still
calls himself a silver Republican,
Monty, Butler, and Talliaferro.

PENNSY'S PENSION FUND.
Preparing to Put It in Operation on
January 1.
Philadelphia, Dec. 11.—The officers!
of the proposed pension fund to be in
augurated bv the Pennsylvania Railroad
on its entire system east of Pittsburg and !
Erie. composed of the vice presidents
and assistant comptroller of the company,
met yesterday to consider matters of de j
tail in connection with the prosp.-et. The
plan lias already been approved by the I
i boards of directors of the Pennsylvania !
and Northern Central railroad and the i
'hoards of the Philadelphia, Wilmington j
iV Baltimore, the West Jersey & Sea
shore and the West Jersey Ferry com
pany will also be asked to approve. The
officers are still hard at work perfecting the
details of the plan, which are now nearly
completed. < )ne of the most important
matters of detail is to fix the amount
each pensioner of the company is to re
ceive. While all details are being closely
guarded, it is understood that this amount
will be on a percentage basis of the salary
received during the ten years proceeding
the pension.
About 1,000 employes, it is said, will
be retired under the provision of the |
pension fund on January 1. These will
create a number of vacancies, and as 1
some of the positions to be vacated are
important then; is a natural expectancy j
among those who remain as to who will j
succeed to these positions. While no !
action has yet been taken looking to the
adoption of the pension plan on the j
company's western system, an official of
the fund said that its benorits would i
subsequently be extended to that system. ,

Twenty-Five Year's Constant Use With
out a Failure.
The first indication of croup is hoarse- i
ness, and in a child subject to that dis- j
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of the I
approach of an attack. Following this
hoarseness is a peculiar rough couirh. If j
Chamberlain's cough remedy is given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough appears, it will !
prevent the attack. It is used in many
thousands of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious mothers.
We have yet to learn of a single instance j
in which it has riot proved effectual. No I
other preparation can show such a record
—twenty-five years' constant use without
a failure. For sale by L. Taggart. dec

Story of a Slave.
1 To be bound hand and foot for years I '
jby the chains of disease is the worst \
form of slavery. Williams, of I
| Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave |
! was made free. He says: "My wife
! has been so helpless for live years that
j sin; could not turn over in bed alow.
| After using two bottles of Electric Hit
ters she is wonderfully improved and
1 able to do her own work." This sup
! reme remedy for female diseases quickly
' cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mclan
j clioly, headache, backache, fainting and
| dizzy spells. This miracle working
j medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
| run down people. Every bottle guaran
teed. Only 50 cents. Sold by L. Tag
' gart, Druggist.
