WILW RESTRICT IMMIGRATION Philadelphia Rerubllcane Ara Elated Over the Excellent Start Made By Diltrict Attorney Weaver, Whom tht Insurger.ta Fought So Bitterly. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Dec. 31. "I have about 200 bills prepared for introduction In the senate as soon as we reconvene," aald Senator Holes Penrose last even ing, as he chatted about bis plana to be put into operation when congress reconvenes. "These bills," be contin ued, "represent hut a few of the In terests which I have been asked to at tend to for constituents in the different counties of Pennsylvania. Not a few of them ttre for pensions for deserving soldiers and sailors who fought In the civil war, and who are now unable to care for themselves without outside aid. Several are for new public build ings In leading cities of the common wealth, where the interests of the fed eral government require larger and more modern structures for the trans action of postofllce and other depart ment business. LEGISLATION FOR LABOR. "Perhaps the most Important legis lation which shall command my con sideration this session Is that affecttify labor; the protection of American la bor from competition through the Im portation of undesirable immigrants. As chairman of the committee of tne senate on immigration, I shall be called upon to schedule and revise the many .bills which have been intro duced on this subject, as well as my own, and I am hopeful that the ses sion will not pass without our being able to enact legislation such as will protect our workingmen from unfair competition with uneducated and otherwise olijectlunablc foreign labor. "My mall constantly contain letters from lepresentatives of various labor organizations making recommendation for amendments to bills or submitting entirely new drafts for bills on sub jects directly affecting the interest of labor, and I have cotton many valua ble suggeationa from these sources. I am in touch with the officials of various labor organizations, and have under taken to keep a number of them ad vised as to developments on all sub jects before the senate about which they would naturaliy be concerned." Senator Penroee, on account of his being a member of so many important committee, has a very heavy dally mall. His secretary, W. R. Andrews, is frequently called upon to put an extra force of stenographers at work to keeD up with ence. his voluminous correspond- REPUUMCAKS FEEL ELATED. There have been no important politi cal developments in this city during the last week, but the opponents of the regular Republican organization were very much disappointed over the an nouncement of the appointments made by District Attorney John Weaver. Af ter the exciting and hitter campaign, In which many Democrats and the Union party forces pooled issues to prevent the election of Mr. Weaver; who was the regular Republican nomi nee, there was general interest In the matter of the selection of the staff ol the new district attorney. Mr. Weave) has spiked tbe guns of his political en emies. He has made every Republican who voted for him at the last election feel proud of having stood by his par ty's candidate. He has announced a staff of members of the bar who will act aa his assistants, which has not only challenged criticism from his op ponents, but commanded editorials of praise from almost every newspaper which was arrayed against the Repub lican organization In the recent cam paign. Mr. Weaver concluded to make a clean sweep and to appoint men of his own selection to all of the positions on his legal staff. He picked out repre sentative young Republicans. While some of the party leaders were disap pointed over their failure to have cer tain favorites appointed, none of them can question the Republicanism or the fitness and fidelity of any of the men chosen by Mr. Weaver. Leaders of the Republican organiza tion point with satisfaction to the an nual report from the detective bureau of this city, which has Just been is sued. It shows that crime In the Quaker City is on the decrease, owing largely to the efficient police depart ment, and further that the percentage of arrests and convictions has never been larger. While It has suited thp political pur poses of many of the newspapers in this city to attack the city authorities, they cannot but now print the facts as shown in the official reports. Some of them have been fair enough to com ment upon the marked improvement of conditions In this city and the de velopment of the police and fire depart ments under the present administra tion. Philadelphia Is unquestionably the best proti'i-ted city in the world aa far aa the police and fire departments are ccOLCrued. TVbr II Wouldn't Cook.

Thompson's Barosma it not only a won derful kidney, liver and bla Uler cure, but has a particular advantage as a remedy forChror.ic Female Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing down sensations, Nervmis Debility, Leucorrluca or Whites, and Dropsical Swellings. Its pculiar ad vantage lies in the fact that it is both a female regulator and kidney, liver and bladder cure. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder. A wonun having any pain or distress in the back or side, at once attributes it to female weak ness when many times her trouble is en tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence a woman tuakiag this grave mistake will find a . sure remedy in llarosma, for whether she is suffering from womb dis order or any disease of the kidneys, liv.-r and bladder, Rarosma will clfect a per manent euro. For this two-fold reason Barosnia is the best woman's remedy on the market. Thompson's Dandeloin and Mandrake Pills should be used with the Barosnia, for the liver and constipation. They are purely vegetable and do not gripe. .
