nnd Draws the Conclusion That It
Wll Take a Hercules to Finish the
Necessary Tasks Before March 4.

WnshlnBton, Jun. 4. Fifteen days
ago conRrens nroae like a Hock of birds
In a field of Brain, and wnftcd Its way
homeward to enjoy thr- holidays. Sen
ators and representatives scattered to
all points of the compass In search of
happiness. Some find It In homo com-
s In the hnsoms of their families:
riers Hock In small parties to Old
..'cilnt, Florida, or tho West Indies,
where the hours may bo whllcd awav
In card partlcsandslght-seeltiK. Others
Ko to New York for rest and change of
scene. A very few remain In Wnsh
lni;ton, patching up with their work
nnd clearing up the decks before -un-foldlnc
their sails anew to the legis
lative breeze,
Thi holiday recess appears to be
Minily established. To ascertain
whether congress Is entitled to this
indulgence, tho people ought to know
how hard they have been worked. The
session began on December 3 nnd the
recess was taken on December 21. Two
Sundays Intervened, leaving seventeen
working days. The senate emphasized
lis pilvllcged character by working
sixteen of tho seventeen, and the house
sustained Us reputation for Industry
by laboilng more or less every dny.
The senate was In session sixty-three
hours In all, nnd tho house seventy
one. The senate spent thirty-one and
three-quarters of Its sixty-three hours
over half the time In secret session.
Notwithstanding this extraordinary
legislative feat, however, tho two
houses swelled the Congressional llec
ord to tho extent of B30 pages. The
senate Is credited with 139 of these nnd
the house with 411. It was lively work.
The figures are not only balmily In
structive, but exceedingly Interesting
to the delving economist. They show
that If both houses had worked eight
hours a day, tho time required for
other government employes, tho Con
giesslonal Record would have masti
cated 1,100 pages Instead of 550; and If
the senators had worked In tho onen,
lather than In the woods, tho periodi
cal might have taken up over 2,000
pages. The figures further demon
strate that If congiessmen were paid
the rates established by them for let-ti-r
rnrrleis and fourth-class pnstmas
tPiM, many of them would be bunting
mush and milk on foot, instead of
seeking terrapin and champagne In
automobiles.
A COM IT.TKNT St'PEniNTEXDENT.
Of rout so, the house did far more
work than the senate. It lias a super
intendent wbo thoroughly understands
his) business. His eye Is on ever
workman, and he has the power to se
lect, forward, or retard work, as ho
pleases. This power conies from the
letalnincnt of the rules of the Ilftv
fourth congress, better known as tho
Tom Heed rules. It was under these
that Iteed held the s?nate by tho thr.oat
while the Dlngley bill was under con
sideration. Hy Mmply withholding the
appointment of the housu committees,
he stultilled the action of the senate on
ull extraneous matters. These rules
have not been changed a jot or a tittle.
It is almost rertaln that the fifty-seventh
congress will follow In tho same
path, without deviating on inch. The
fifty-seventh will then be operating un
der rules adopted six years before Its
birth.
No greater tribute could be paid to
th genius of the man from Maine. It
must be confessed, however, that
Speaker Henderson has not mis-used
the power obtained from a former con
gress by tho will of the majority of
the house. He has an Iron nature and
n sympathetic manner. No favoritism
Is shown. All partake of the same
-'legislative food. Pie Is rarely served,
and when served the cuts are exceed
ingly small. In this respect Hender
son stands in direct contrast with soma
of his predecessors. Neither Kelfer nor
Heed equaled him In the art of spread
ing a legislative table or of serving
legislative meals. Henderson promptly
cut out tho work to be finished before
the holidays. Hp Inspired the heads of
the great committees with his energy,
and it was pushed to a finish without
delay. Marvelous Is It that so much
has been accomplished In seventeen
days. On the third day of the session
the committee on rules surprised tho
house by reporting a special order pro
viding for tno Immediate consideration
of tho bill for the Increase of the army.
It was passed after a discussion lasting
two days. John A. T. Hull, chairman
of the committee on military nftalrs,
onglneered It to a final vote with con
summate adroitness. Tho debate was
characterized with Intense fervor and
enlivened with political paroxysms.
McCAI.I. LIKE A OATL1NO GUN.
An event entirely unexpected occur
red. Samuel W. McCall opened fire on
the measure with a Gatllng gun. There
was consternation among the sup
porters of the bill. It was like the
Jescent of an old-time Berserker on

kidneys and few are accompanied by more

Charles Francis Adams Into ecstasy.
He gave vent to his emotions at a.
dinner to George 8. Boutwell, In (Bos
ton, not long afterward. He compli
mented McCall by placing him in the
same category with Georgo F. 'Hoar
and Charles Sumner, declaring that It
wns a peculiarity of Massachusetts
that she loved Independence within
limits, nnd rarely failed to testify her
anpreclatlon of It. The guests shouted
with unalloyed delight when Mr. Ad
atns capsheafed his compliments to
Hoar and McCall by tho nalvo re
mark: "They are not less honest than
I." A proof-sheet of this speech was
afterward sent to every member of
congrMis. Nobody answered McCall.
Grosvenor, Bingham, Bromwell, Dick,
William Allen Smith, Boutell, of Il
linois, Moody, of Massachusetts, and
Ilowersock threw themselves Into a
hollow square nnd repelled a cavalry
assault made by Kleberg. Shaforth,
Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, Otey, Stark,
Clayton of New York, Hay, Green,
Cowherd, Slayden. Jett, McDermott
of Now Jprsey, nnd James B. Wil
liams of Illinois.
The fiercest fight was over the piop
osltlon to abolish tli" canteen, The
onset waB led by General I.tttlofleld,
of Maine, a pupil of Nenl Dow. Fire
Hew from many a saber, but Little
Held was victorious by a vote of over
three to one. Pnrki-r, of New Jersey,
made a powerful nppeil on behalf of
tho soldier, but It was entirely un
heeded. As the rules preclude n yea
nnd nay vote In committee of the
whole, nnd as thero Is no provision
by which a defeated nmendment can
secure such a vote In tho open house,
the names of those who stood by thu
canteen will never be known. It was
long after dark before the fight was
ended and the bill passed.
LENTZ LOST AN OPPORTUNITY.
A striking feature of tho contest wai
th elimination of two sections, which
would have placed Fltzhugh Leo,
Jnmes H. Wilson nnd W. B. Shatter
on the retired list as major generals.
Tho piovlsion affecting Shatter was
the first to come before the house. The
minority, with one exception, voted
against it. This Incensed tho majority,
who revenged themselves by striking
Lee and Wilson. It was a great de
bateone that will furnish meat for
many a future political campaign. The
only rcgretnble Incident about It was
tho absence of Hon. John J. Lentz, of
Ohio. As a member of thu committee
on military affairs, entitled to prefer
ence In recognition, he lost the oppor
tunity of his life.
With the bill providing for the In
crease of the army out of the way, the
Grout bill came to the front. It was
forced there by a special order adopted
in tho last session. It imposed a tax
of 10 cents a pound on oleomargarine
when colored In Imitation of butter.
The farmers were said to be In favor
of It to a man, and the mechanics
against It. Organized labor had de
nounced It. Those living In cities
claimed that they were entitled to tha
same privileges as the farmer. They
had a right to purchase oleomargarine
because It Is cheaper than butter. If
they desired It, without the Imposi
tion of nn extra, ten-cent tax. The
strongest argument against tho bill
wns the assertion that It was taxing
one Industry for the benefit of another.
This was practically admitted by those
favoring the measure. As for the col
oring clause. It was assorted that but
ter Itself was colored. No one denied
that statement, yet the bill was
passed. The agriculturists beat the
mechanics over two to one. It
required only a day's talk to ac
complish this result. Tho victors were
cheered by the adhesion of many
strong advocates of state rights. Jo
seph W. Bailey, of Texas, was not
among them. He snld that nobody had
ever accused the ladies of fraud be
cause they colored their cheeks. "If,"
said he, "It Is to be charged that every
time an article Is colored or discolored
somebody Is attempting to practice a
fraud, then why not make It a crime
to color butter, just as It Is now pro
posed to make It a crime to color oleo
margarine?" TRIUMPH FOR GENERAL GROUT.
The passage of the bill was a great
triumph for William W. Grout, of Ver
mont, who championed it. It gives a
basis on which to make a fight for n
return to congress two yenrs hence.
He refused n re-nomlnation last fall
to accept a seat In the United States
senate. Ten of his pledged supporters
In the Isglslature swerved from the
path of political rectitude, and Paul
Dillingham, much to the surprise of
Mr. Grout, slipped Into the senate at
the side of Redfleld Proctor.
With the Giout bill out of the way,
General Harry Rlngham, of Philadel
phia, spiang the first of the fourteen
great appropriation bills upon tho
house. Being privileged, it required
no special order from the speaker's
committee on rules. It carried $21,
490,208.27. Under tho general's skillful
guidance it shot the rapids In two
hours and a half.
On the following day Sereno E.
Payne brought up the bill reducing the
war revenue. This wns also privileged.
It entailed a discussion lasting three
days. The minority sought a further
reduction. The discussion opened with
hardly a ripple, but when the beer
schedule was reached It began to
seethe like a whirlpool, With a dele
gation of brewers In the gnllerles.thero
was a continuous strugglo for the floor.
Those who made the most noise and
had tho least to say usually secured It.
Almost Invariably they damaged the
cause which they sought to defend.
Don't imagine that you are experimenting
when you use Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver
Fills, They are almost as well known as
his great Recipe Book, have made some of
the most surprising cures of kidney disease
on record and have come to be considered
the only absolute cure for kidney disease.
Mr. J. Curtlss, a well known R. R. engi
neer, living at 191 Murry street, Bingham
ton, N. Y writes:
"Soon after going on the road I began to
be troubled by severe pains In my back
accompanied by such terrible weakness tbat
I was obliged to stop work for days at a
time.
" Hearing of the good results obtained by
using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, I gave
them a trial. They helped roe almost Imme
diately, and now I can truthfully say tbat I
am as well as any man, thanks to Dr.
Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills."

There was apparently no question that
the brewers were entitled to the total
repeal of the tax Imposed by the war
with Spain. Its repeal had been prom
ised ns soon as the war was over. Tho
tax Imposed by the civil war stilt re
mained, nnd a further Imposition wns
regarded as unjust. These points alone
presented in a clear and concise wny
by men of common rpiiro, ought to
have been suniclent.
Unfortunately such men were not
preferred. The presiding officer In
committee of the whole allowed the
finbbergasters to pre-empt the floor,
and fill tho chamber with froth. Tho
work was varied by experts in tho
stringing of udjectlvos nnd by gentle
men fresh from tho realm of misrep
resentation nnd the contiguous terri
tory of exaggeration. There were a,
few good speeches, but the effect of
their delivery was: quickly drowned In
the utterances of professional talkers.
The result wns what might have been
expected, Kvery effort to lower tho
lax from tho limit placed by the ways
and means committee was defeated
by a decisive vote, and the brewers
finally abandoned the galleries In ap
parent disgust. After a hot strugglo
over the repeal of the taxes on checks,
telegrnms, nnd express receipts, tho
minority gave way, nnd Sereno Payno
won n complete victory.
LABGKST OF APntOPIXIATION
HILLS.
Then the greatest of all the appro
priation bills' wns Jumped through tho
houre. It was handled by the Hon.
Samuel P. Barney, of Wisconsin. It
appropriated $143,215,230 for the pay
ment of pensions In the year beginning
In July next. Mr, Barney assured the
members that this sum included what
was likely to be paid to the Spanish
wnr veterans, and the bill went
through without a protest. The next
day was suspension day. Members
recognized by the speaker could movo
to take up bills under suspension of
the rules, but it would require a two
thirds vote to pass them. Jacob H.
Bromwell, of Cincinnati, tried to run
this gauntlet with a bill giving vete
rans the preference In civil sen-lea
appointments, but camo out In shock
ing condition. His defeat was so
overwhelming that he could not even
raise sufficient votes to tecure tho yeas
nnd nays, nnd the veterans aro thus
left without a record of the few friends
who voted for the bill.
The next two days were occupied In
discussing grade crossing bills In
Washington, D. C. The railroads got
what they wanted, and tho people seem
satisfied. On the 20th the Hon. James
S. Sherman, of New York, turned the
Indian appropriation bill on the house.
It carried $9,03G,52G.09 $750,000 more
than last year. Sherman ran it
through within two hours, and Gover
nor Hill, of Iowa, closed the session by
engineering tho Military Academy ap
propriation bill to a vote. The next
day the speaker's gavel announced the
holiday recess.
LEGISLATION JAMMED IN THE
SENATE.
So much for the work of the house.
How stands the record of the dying
year In the senate. The only work of
Importance it has achieved is to amend
and pas the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Legislation here Is Jammed.
Aside from privileged business the
subsidy bill has the right of way, with
no apparent prospect of final action.
The Nicaragua canal bill, sent over
from the house last session, awaits
consideration. Tho committee on ln
bor has taken no action on the eight-
hour bill, also sent over In tho last ses
sion. The bill for the Increase of tho
army demands Immediate attention,
and the house Is awaiting its action
on the Grout bill, the bill for the re
duction of the war revenue and the four
regular appropriation bills dumped be
fore the recess. When you consider
the struggle that must ensue over the
river and harbor measure, and the mil
lions that will be demanded for public
buildings, still awaiting action In the
house, It looks as though it would re
quire a Hercules to finish the work be
fore March 4. There Is no Hercules in
the senate. It Is a law unto ltself.with
senatorial courtesy predominant. Ty
phoons are, however, In order, and the
senatorial ship may be soon forced to
scud under bare poles.

The above map has been carefully
complied from United States documents
by Tho Peruna Medicine company, of
Columbus. Ohio. The figures were tak
en frbm the mortnl statistics published
by the government and entirely ngreo
with tho archives kept nt The Hart
man Sanitarium.
The map Is made In four shades. The
lightest shade shows the states which
have tho lowest per cent, of deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these states
very close to 42 per cent, of all deaths
in 1S90 were due to catarrhal diseases.
That Is to say, over four out of every
ten deaths were from catarrhal affpe
tions. In the States of next darker shade
the per cent, varies from 42 to 45. In
the next darker shade. 45 to 43 per
cent, of the whole number of deaths
resulted from catarrhul diseases. In
the darkest shade we have Indicated
tho States in which over CO per cent.,
or one-hnlf or more, of all the deaths
wero directly traceable to catarrh as
the cause.
This is an appalling state of af
fairs. This nation has got to con
front tho fact that catarrh has he
come a national curse. Catarrhal
diseases threaten tho life of our
people. Over one-half of tho people
suffer from some form or degree of
catarrh. Fully thirty-five million
people are personally interested in
the discovery of a radical catarrh

Anyone who wishes perfect health
must bo entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso
lute safeguard known. A cold Is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, Is to cheat catarrh
out of Its victims. Peruna not only
cures but prevents catarrh. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and so
forth.
