The Kepnhiicaus w itl greatly miss in the next House members like McKinley, Cannon, Ilatterivorth, Bayne, McComas, tlrovenor, and a score of others whote experience and ability placed them in the fore front as acknow ledged leader s and representative men. As w as pertinently observed by Speaker Ked in his remarks at the dissolution of the House, "Political action can never lie justly viewed from a near standpoint." The record made by the Fifty-first Con gress is more than u.sually political. Its ads of commission and ommiasioo aie to be credited or debited to the Repub lican party; the Democracy can neither I praised nor censured for what was done or left undone, as they merely per formed the role of obstructionists. The entire weight of responsibility belongs t3 the Republican party. Its acta have liecome history, and a comparison of its re,wd with that of the next House of Representative, which will to strongly R'moctatic, will, we doubt not, make brighter its practical work as the lawn it mar-ted are tested by experieni-e.

The opposition o the bill came from Mr. Manin, of IVlaware, and Mr. Williams, of B Uler. who took the ground that the limita tion of the territory from which a bonds man cou:d be taken is intended to give the ciiii of the kKjalily a measure of twntrol over the business and to euable tbero to pass oo the character of those desirin; to engage in it. Mr. Fow, of Philadelphia, and Captain 6kinner, of Fulton, made the principal argo -ment for it, the former showing what a hardship the law worked in cenaiu of the most populous business wards ot Philadd pljia, where resident property boldurs are few. Captain Skinner, on the aame point, told of a borough in his county where the local botelkeeptrs could could only give the necessary bond by agreeing to buy all his meat from a certain butcher. In many cases, he and others said, the difficulty of procur ing bondsmen under the law placed hotel men and saloonkeepers under the neoecsify of giving an Indemnifying bond before they could obtain the legal security.

An embarrassment to a change in the law up to the present lime has been the fact that jus tice could not be done the smaller citiea without relieving Allegheny City liouor dealerg of the higher (mi. When the law was passed Allegheny was tba only third class city in the Commonwealth. This year Allegheny goes into the second class and the difliculty is thus removed. Mr. Magnin.of Delaware, objected to the change, declaring that the W0 fee was shown to be no hardship by the circum stances that at each recurring license court there was an increased number of applicants for license. The bill passed second reading ! by a large majority. 1 While the second section of the bill was under discussion Mr. Jones, of Allegheny, endeavored to have the license fee ic bor oughs made f 0 instead of $IM. This rais ed a storm of opposition, a nnmber of gen tlemen declaring that the amendment would ilote the licensed places in moat of the bor oughs of the State, as they could not possi bly py the fea.

It rosy go upwards into the middle ear and cause deaf nei. or into the frontal sinuses and cause constant f.-ontal hi-adjcbe. The Catarrh may gi d iwnwsrds through the a-wphagus into the stomach and cause dyspepsia, or through the larynx, trachea and bronchial tubes t. the lungs, causing hooreue, loss of voire, chronic cough, bronchitis and con sumption. Whatever coarse the Catarrh takes the disease remains tbesi.n, and a remedy that can be relied on to cure it in one place can also be relied on to enre It in all places. Pe-ra-na seeks out at once the deranged parts and restores the diseased and tUbby mucous membrane to health and elasticity. Pe ru na is a natural tonic to the capillary blood vessels, which are weakened or de stroyed by Catarrh. Here are two cases in which the Catarrh had already reached the middle ear, producing deafness (as it always does) : Mr. Frederick Bierman, of McComb City, Miss., had Chronic Catarrh very badly for many years. The disease finally passed up the eustachian tube into the middle ear, and had almost destroyed bis hearing. He has been taking Pe-ru-na but for a short time. will be the official uotes of the detectives employed In working up the case.

A good deal of misapprehension exist as to the nature of the direct tax act of iSCI, out of which gnaw the bill which pawed Congress a few days since and baa be come a law, and demagogical politicians lisveleen attempting to make the people believe that it is a piece of reckless prodi gality, w hen iu fact it is an act of even handed justh?. The following terse statement of the origin of the matter wo find in the Chicago Inter ftwn: In l;i when the general iovernment was in sore need of money, and before the financial system which enabled the country to meet the requirements of the government had been devised. Con-1 Kress provided for an annual direct tax r t-D.OOGV ki a year. The social session of Cngreas, held in the summer of ISt'.I, put such a provision ujon a hill author izing loans and increasing dutiea. An estimate of the wealth of the country svas rua le, based on the eighth census, aken the year before, aud the quota of each State assigned on the strength of it The bill amounted to a requisition upon the everal ?tate and Territories, and in loyal State, the payments were made by the Stales voluntarily, either oat of the surplus ia the State treasuries or by di rect State taxation. There was never Dy attempt at'enfotceroent of the Us aifter the first year. In the States which txwedtd the only way the Us was col lectwd at all w as by levy npon the prop erty individual citizens, so far as the jwroe cotihl be reached, and, in some aees, by the vi.ure of State property. - a matter of fact the q uota of the South as almost as fully paid as the quota of the Xorth, although the collection, for the tost part in the South, was subsequent to tie close of the w ar, w hen the military wr was supremo, and before the "era of reconciliation" set in. Louisiana, for maniple, had a quota of ?rW.",KSi1 every dollar or a b'wh was collected, the money tieing raised by the sale of swamp lands aind olhtr loads. The State attempted subsequently t get back the money by a wait at law. In lsv the Court of Claims gave a decision in favor of the State. Of course, if the direct tax was illegal, the iict being unconstitutional, and such in effect was the finding of the court, then the entire tax collected from every State hoU be refunded, and the uncollected Lalaaea canceled. The Senate promptly took that view of the matter. It took four years from the first iwuaige of the bill by that body to secure the concur rence of the Hotuo. ft a. iil thus lie seen that virtually this refund is simply the compliance with the judgment of the court. No power on arth could enforce payment of the judgment if Congress refused to make the appropriation, but it would liars taeen downright dishonesty to have per tasted in Uirtiing a deaf ear to the claim allowed by the United rJlatas Court of Claims. WHAT CONGRESS DID. The Fifty first congress in the opinion of many veteran legislators the most remarks ble congress siu je the war, came to an end by constitutions' limitatioa. From first to last the sessions were interesting and event ful, and for uo long period were they ever characterized by dullness which occasionally for days at time marks the proceeding of nearly every congress, and eeecially of those congresses in which the lirl session is usually prolotiged. The actual working time of the Fifty-first congress exceeded that of any of its pr de- cessors, and the nominal working lime of all except the Fiftieth congress, and in number of measures brought to its attention and number, variety and importance of these scted on it likewise surpassed all previous congresses. This working of the business feature was perhaps the most distinguishing character istic of tbe nlty-first congress. It seems more remarkable when tbe magnitude, character and long pending of many of the topics considered are taken into account. Three measures, any of which in intrinsic importance and popular interest, would be sufficient for a national issue, stand forth pre-eminent among all others. First, the McKinley tariff bill, which became a law ; second, the silver bill, on which in tbe first session a compromise was effected, based on tbe monthly purchase of t .VM.OOO ounces of silver, which in turn was followed by a more radical measure that failed of passage, and third, tbe federal elections bill, whi b, alter a protracted, bitter, botly fought and in tensely exciting preliminary struggle, failed in the senate to reach s decisive vote on its merits. Tbe radical innovation in the rules pi the house added interest to iu proceedings aud determined but fruitless eftjru to adopt the most vital of these innovations formed a part of the history of tbe latter part of the sessions of the senate. J'ven in its mortu ary record the congress was remarkable, the call of death having summoned no fewer than twelve of its representatives and three of its senators. Many of the bills enacted into ws appropriated an unusually large amount of money and the expenditures au tborued will exceed those of any previotis congress since the foundation of the govern ment. Tbe total appropriations made by the Fif tieth congress were : During the first session, t3i5,3.T;,S10. and during the second session, H22,GJC,3t3, or an aggregate of Si;,S&-jfl59, while the appropriation for tbe first session of ths Fifty-first congress were fli,CJ7,i?, and those of the second session will probably bring tbe total appropriations for this con gress to a billion dollars. A comparison of the woikt of the con gress just clowJ with that of its immediate predecessor makes tbe following exhibit: Bills introduced in the bouse, in the Fifty first congress, H.fllt, against in the Fiftieth congress, IZ.lkM, an increase 01 l. J'n; joint resolutions 27.1, an increase of ten ; senate bills, 5,U"J, against 4,ono, or an increase of 1,120; joint resolutions 1U9, an increasa of 24 ; bills passed by the house l.TPt, of which 1513 became law , and by the senate 1.30." kills, of which Ar3 became laws, making the total number of laws during the Fifty-first congress 2, Ut, as against i.s.'i in the Fif tieth congrms, an increase of 302. The sen ate also postponed indefinitely HUi senate and It house bills, this being equivalent to defeat. During the Fiftieth congress 1C1 b lis were vetoed and during tbe Fifty first congress 14. In addition to this work there were eigb teen contested election casea. The house seated eight of the republican contestants and declared the seat of a democrat, Brerk enridce. of Arkansas, vacant. Two cases Goodrich vs. Bullock, from Florida, and McGinuis vs. Allderson from West Virginia in which tbe committee recommended the seating of the republican contestants were not disposed of by the bouse and the elec tion committee itself never acted on the Eaton v. Puelan. of Tenneawe, case. Tbe senate disposed ol its contested election cases by seating tbs two republican stnaior from Montana. Freeport's Bank Robbed. FaEErOET, P., March 5. The Pe.iple's Bank at this place was ente:ed by burglars Wednesday night and about $730 in money, 4iX5 Ol in postage sumps and bonds, notes and paiwrs valued at about $i",0oo, were taken. The buntiars were experts. There is uo clue to their inden'.ty. The bank is a State institution and is con sidered substantial. The burglars entered the bank through a rear window by prying opn the wooden shutters. There was no light in the bank. The huge iron dnort of the vault were drill ed through to the combination, evidencing skill and familiarity with safe locks. An effort was made to drill to the coaibination of the safe, but the steel plate in tbe door bafH-id the U'irg'.ars. There wa about $4, 000 in money in the safe. In tbe vault out side the safe are leeeou holes and boxes in which outside parties kept their valuables The bauk did not charge such depositors and is not therefura respjnsible tor the l-iss. A full length candle had been left in the vault on Wednesday evening. When found hv Csshier Luckwick this morning it had been burned to the s jcket. It was not light ed when found, which leads lbs bank ofU cialsto believe the burglars were at work from early in ibe evening until early in tbe morning.

After using Pt-ru-na her cough ceased, and in a short time her other ailments were cured. She is now com pletely restored to health, and gives all the credit to Pe-ru na.
