Work of the Fifty-seventh Congress.
The Fifty-seventh congress has be
fore it many important and some
perplexing questions. It promises to
be a busy and history making session.
Perhaps the question of widest pub
lic interest to be taken up is that which
relates to the building of the isthmian
waterway. The diplomatic obstacles
which so long stood in the way have
been removed, and early and favorable
action is expected. Early in the ses
sion there will be submitted to the sen
ate a new canal convention, lately sign
ed by Lord Pauncefote, acting for
Great Britain, and Secretary Hay for
the United States, which abrogates the
old Clayton-Bulwer treaty and con
cedes the right of the United States to
build and control the canal, maintain
ing it as a neutral waterway, open to
all nations with which we are at peace,
but permitting us to close it to the
ships of a hostile power and to make
such fortifications as exigencies may
require. As this is all the supporters
of a strictly American canal have ever
asked there is now no reason to doubt
that the senate will promptly ratify
the treaty. With this done, the author
ization of the digging of the canal
ought to speedily follow. In no quar
ter, except possibly a coterie of trans
continental railroad managers. Is there
any opposition to the canal scheme,
and there is therefore no occasion for
congressional delay. The canal corn
•shMlon has decided after thorough ln
iwtfgation upon the Nicaragua route
tos the one most feasible, and six
months hence ought to see work fairly
under way on this great national en
terprise upon which the American peo
ple have set their hearts.
Another public enterprise which is
urgently demanded and which will un
questionably be brought up early in
the session is the Faclfic cable scheme.
Already a private corporation has sub
mitted a proposition to the government
for the laying and maintenance of such
a cable, asking for permission to make
kndings on United States territory.
[While the necessity for submarine ca
ble communication between the United
States and Hawaii and the Philippines
is admitted 011 all hands, there may be
strong differences of opinion on tho
question of private or government
ownership and control.
The Chinese exclusion act, which
soon expires by limitation, will be tak
en up by this congress tnd probably
passed in substantially its piesi it
fform. Some further legislation is prob
able in the line of restricting immigra
tion, the assassination of President Mc
[Kinley haviug aroused in the public
(iniud a strong sentiment against the
admission of undesirable persons. Leg
islation looking toward the suppression
iof anarchy and the better protection of
[presidents may also be expected.
The question of trade reciprocity will
lie one to receive especial attention, and
tariff revision is more than likely to be
injected into the debate, though it is
khardiy probable that existing tariff
schedules will be materially disturbed.
The reciprocity treaties which failed
of confirmation at the last session and
undoubtedly other reciprocal trade
agreements will probably be pressed
'for senatorial approval. In view of
the treasury surplus effort will be made
to further reduce the war revenuo
taxes.
• The shipping bill which was sc
.strongly urged in the last congress, hut
failed of passage, will be again brought
'forward, with some changes in the
text, and pushed with renewed vigor
by its supporters.
The trusts will unquestionably be
made the subject of debate if not of
legislation, though it is yet too early
to predict the nature and scope of such
prospective legislation. The industrial
commission, which has gathered vo
luminous data on the subject, will sub
mit recommendations which may lead
to congressional action.
With these problems for its solution,
together with the usual appropriation
bills and routine measures, the Fifty
seventh congress will have Us hands
full.
It 19 announced that Frank James is
going on the stage and will play the
part of a walking gentleman in melo
drama. If he does not attempt to hold
up the public in Shakespearean reviv
al, no one will have particular cause to
complain.
The famous old 909, once the fastest
of express engines on the New York
Central, is now hauling a milk train
along the banks of the Hudson river.
It led a fast life and is now paying the
penalty.
Again It Is announced that "the de
partment of state Is In touch with Miss
Stone." The touching process, however.
Is not likely to be complete until the
brigands are In touch with the ransom.
1 The sultan of Turkey has forbidden
the circulation of American comic pa
pers among his people. Here is where
he has a great advantage over us.
If Minister Wu can keep the women
of his family from the übiquitous in

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
COAL THIEVES
P- ci E. Railway Company Announces
that it will Impose Full Penalty
of Law.
There are lots of trouble in store for
certain parties in Danville who are in
the habit of pilfering coal from the cars
of the P. & R. railway company while
passing through town. The offense is j
carried to an extent that will no longer
be tolerated by the railway company,
which has given notice that henceforth
no clemency will be encouraged, but :
that those found guilty of trespassing |
on the company's ground or cars will be |
required to pay the full penalty of the j
law.
The coal thieves have reduced their
pilfering to an art. Their scheme is to j
mount a loaded coal train as it slows j
up at the outskirts of the borough and
as it pulls through town to throw off as 1
much coal as they can. Later it is
gathered up either by themselves or
confederates. Several arrests have been
made, but the parties when arraigned
before the justice generally pleaded !
poverty with such good effect that the
railway officer let them off easily.
Justice Bare, who has been notified
by the railway company of the course it
intends to pursue in the future, informs
us that the penalty for trespassing as
above described is not less than five nor
more than fifteen dollars fine with im
prisonment in the county jail for a
period not exceeding ten days. In case
of neglect or refusal to pay such fine
and costs the full penalty calls for fur
ther imprisonment in the county jail for
a period not exceeding ten days. The
above is according to act of Assembly
I approved May 24. 18?y.

by local implications, as tliey cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by eon
stltutiomil remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intlarued condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can betaken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out often are
caused by catarrh,which is nothing but an in

Lackawanna's New Summer Book.
The Lackawanna Railroad is about
to issue a summer Book for the coming
season, in which each town along the
line will be attractively written up.
For the information of those desiring
j summer homes it has been decided to
admit a limited number of advertise
l ments of hotels and boarding houses,
and these advertisements will be placed
l immediately following the reading
j matter relative to the town in which
■ they are located.
J The demand for such advertisements
J has been so great that the Company has
I decided to modify the policy established
a year ago and permit a brief number
!to appear. It is believed that the change
| will be a gratifyiug one to those who
! are anxious to secure some of the in-
I creasing patronage along the line.
The local ticket agent has been sup
plied with specimen pages from this
book, showing rates for advertising, and
other details in connection with it.
Copies of these may be obtained upon
application. Matter for insertion in the
new book must be sent either to the
General Passenger Agent or left with
the local Ticket Agent on or before the
Ist day of February.
The local Ticket Agent will be glad
to answer any inquiries.

COUGHS AND COLDS IN CHILDREN.
Recommendation of a Well Known Chi
cago Physician.
1 u<e and prescribe Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for almost all obstinate,
constricted coughs, with direct results.
I prescribe it to children of all ages.
Am glad to recommend it to all in need
and seeking relief from colds and coughs
and bronchial afflictions. It is non-nar
cotic and safe in the hands of the most
unprofessional. A universal panacea for
all mankind. — MRS. MARY R. MKLENDY,

Stowed XoMebaff.
In "Pictures of War," a book on
Soutb African troubles, appears the
following story: "A certain colonel, be
ing a bit of an epicure, bad superin
tended the cooking of a duck smother
ed in onions and carefully prepared
compressed vegetables. The duck sim
mered in a lordly cooking pot, and the
cook turned it over reverentially again
and again, or at least he said he had
done so. Anyway, what he did serve up
was a beautifully stewed nosebag. The
theft was too comic to be taken seri
ously."
Queer Signs.
A mortuary chapel in a cemetery
near Evesham, in Worcestershire, Eng
land, is inscribed, "So admittance ex
cept on business." Dying is thus looked
on as a serious business in Worcester
shire. It recalls the case of a provin
cial church lately discovered which
bore the inscription, "This is the gate
of heaven," while a placard beneath
added, "This do: r will be closed during
the winter months."
Lowing Logic.
A section foreman on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton several years ago,
while cleaning up the right of way, set
fire to a rail fence, and the owner of the
rails demanded damages from the com
pany, and a claim agent was sent to set
tle with him. Danny, the section boss,
was on hand and insisted that the rail
Owner was not damaged.
"I don't know why 1 am not damaged,"
he exclaimed. "You set fire to my fence
end destroyed it."
"Shure I sit fire to yer fence," explain
ed Danny, "but ivery rail was burned in
two in the middle, and now yez have
more rails by double than yez hod befoore
the fire."
Danny's logic, however, did not save
the company from settling the bill.—ln

The latest contribution to tho litera
ture of tobacco furnishes some interest
ing evidence as to the universality of
the name of the weed. Originally It
was derived from the name of a pipe
which the Spaniards found In Santo
Domingo and which was called the
tobago. Subsequently the Spaniards
epelled It tobaco. The Italians and
Portuguese have stuck In an extra c.
The English have putin the extra c
and changed the a in the first sylla
ble too, but this may be a reminis
cence of tobago. The Germans, Dutch
and Russians say tobak, the French
tabac, the Poles tabaka and the Danes
and Swedes tobak. Indeed, there is
hardly a country in the world where a
person ignorant of the language of
the natives may not call for something
to smoke and make himself readily un
derstood.
The tender to Mr. Kruger by promi
nent Irish Nationalists of a nomination
for the British parliament in an Irish
borough where he would be certain of
election suggests some interesting pos
sibilities, which, however, are not like
ly to be realized. It suggests tho sar
donic spectacle of the leader of an
active enemy baiting the British peo
ple in their own parliament, supported
by the tumultuous opposition. Imagine
Oom Paul moving to censure the war
oflice for Inflicting the reconcentrado
system on helpless women and chil
dren or rising in stern dignity to Inter
pellate the honorable secretary of state
for the colonies upon the rights of the
Boers as belligerents.
It Is held by those suggesting, ap
parently In good faith, this unique but
quite Impossible scheme that, under
Lord Kitchener's proclamation, Mr.
Ivruger is de facto a British subject
and is therefore eligible to a seat in
parliament. If it were practical as a
political measure, which may be doubt
ed, there is one essential obstacle in
the way. Before becoming a member
of the British parliament he would be
obliged to take the oath of allegiance,
and it is out of the question that the
sturdy old Boer would ever consent to
acknowledge British sovereignty over
his person.
Indeed, the British government could
well afford to acquiesce heartily in this
Irish suggestion if thereby the Trans
vaal president could be made to rec
ognize British sovereignty. Upon the
same terms it would be worth while
to offer inducements to De Wet and
Botha to accept parliamentary seats
from Irish constituencies.
