K iMred at the pantofttua nt Bbeimmloah, 1'tv, iw 4vond oIam ruall matter. TKLKP1IONK CO MICROTI ON. evening Herald SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1897. This la the laat mouth of the Democratio administration, and, appropriately, the shortest of the year. WncN it becomes necessary to resort to affidavits, tbe political oontost in this town muy be aald to he interesting. A wrist party of 3200 players la tu be hold in one of the Boston halls. No i nritau of old dreamt of such a thing, but uuloa th run of trump is to be kept by some silent automatic device he would enjoy the sjec tacle. Alabama, has abandoned the Australian ballot. The method of voting iu that state matters little if the final majority Is to be fixed up as usual lu the black belt, where the figures are manipulated to make a Demo cratic stronghold. It is contrary to professional ethics for doc tors to advertise, but the Warsaw (III.) phy siolan who built a private telephone Hue con necting lus office with the houses of all his country patients did the best and most ottec tlve sort of advertising. Aa the Democrats fiud nothing to say against the Citizens candidates, they can only renew oatupaigu tactics and abuse cer tain representatives of the party, l'eraonul abuse never yet won a political battle, aud the present contest will lie no exception to that rule. Senator Quay has had an operation per formed upon his eyelid, which give both his eyes the same appearance nnd which, it is thought, will not only prove ultimately suc cessful, but will enable the Senator to see things as thoy really are, which all will agree will be a most desirable acquisition, especially to the average seeker after place. An effort will be made at the present ses sion of the Legislature to amondtlie Brooke High License law. A petition is being circu lated among the hotel men of the state pray in. that tho law be so amended as to permit the sale of liquor to hotel guests on Sunday. There is much opposition to tho piopoted amendment, and tho members of tho Legislaturo should go slow in Its consider ation. Like Bauquo's ghost, tho promises mada the Polish 'KruT Lithuanian citizens by the Democratio leaders, uud which were not carried odt, will not down, and will haunt them on eletion day. Tho Germans, too, havoa grievance of this nature of lougstand- ifl.-rruly, the enemy is sadly demoralized, while tho Citizens aro united aud view the internal dissensions of the Democracy from afar with perfect complacency. When a Ilazleton man goes out ut night liu takes, if he is wise, a gun aud n revolver, and bis faithful wife sees that ho does not forget his brass-kuucklss. And yet Luzerne county taxpayers are paying dearly for the services of a county detective that does not detect murdorors and cut-throats. The ex perience of our neighboring county ought to be sufficient to show the members of tho Legislature from Schuylkill that wo have an abundance of political sinecures. It is asserted that if an express train, mov ing at the rate of furty-fivo miles an hour, were to stop suddenly it would give tho passengers a shock equal to that of falling from a height of tllty-four feet. This is not to be compared with the shock our Demo cratic friends will receive when thoy awako on the morning of tho 17th inst., and find every branch of tho local government iu tho bands of tho Citizens party. But sueh is fate I The Philadelphia Itecord says: "A sugges tive conversation between two ladies took place in a trolley fear lately. One of thern wished to match a dress made of out-of-date goods, aud spoke of going to a certain store. "What is ttho seueo of going thereV ox claimed the other ; 'they don't keep any thing old. Tbe only oliauce is to hunt up a store that seldom or never advertises.' How suggestive of modern methods that 'a hunt' should be required for a store of that description !" Tun Legislature has at length agreed to occupy one of the Methodist churches of Uarrieburg as the place for holding their business sessions, a much more suitable place than one of the large Philadelphia halls, as was at first proposed. There are too many temptations iu large cities to make them suit able places of sojourning for the unsuspect ing young men who are usually selected by the rural voters to be sent to Harrisburg to make laws for us. They are generally well meaning folk, but at the same time will alwaya bear watching. They should there for be content to stay at the place selected for tbeio, where they will no doubt be happier and will return to the bosoms of their fawilies more virtuous, wiser and better men than if the session were spent in th keart of Philadelphia. Thc destruction of the state capital build lugs at JIarrisburg may have some beariug upou the project looking to tbe erection of a geueral hospital near Mahanoy City. It is to bo hoped, however, that tbe lawmakers may be enabled to see their way clear to avoid the curtailment of appropriations of this nature. Tbe constitution of the state pro vides that "no debt shall be created by, or ou behalf of the state, sxeept to supply casual deficiencies of revenue, supprtas iuaur lootlon, defend tbe state in war, or pay existing debt, and the debt created to aupply deficiency in reveuue aball never axeeed iu tbe aggregate at any one time $1,000,000." If this provision, correctly construed, forbids tbe creating of a debt to erect a state house in plane sf the vue recently destroyed by Are, then it will becemo necessary to pay for tbe' building out of the cm rent revenue. To do this it will require u severe pruning of the appropriations, and this fact causes the friends of the hospital project to fear that the appropriation fut that institution may be withheld.

Fill a bottle or common water glass with mine nnd let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicate a diseased con dition of tho kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that tho kidneys and bladder aro out of order.

There Is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-I!oot, tbe (treat kidney remedy, fulfills overy wish in relieving pain iu the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part of tho urinary pas- sagos. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects fol lowing use of liquor, wino or beer, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to gel up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and tbe ex traordinary offect of Swamp-Koot is soon realized. It stands tho highest for Its wondor- ful cures of the most distressing cases.

A woman cannot long retain her general health who is suffering from weakness and disease of the organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible.

Arthurs, sent for a copy of your 'Common Sense Medical Adviser.' The book described my sufferings so plainly that I purchased bottles of your ' Favorite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and a vial of 'Pleasant Pellets.' Our doctor pronounced my case hopeless, and laid aside your medicines, catling them nostrums, and for six months I lay under his disgusting treatment At the end of this time I commenced taklngyour medicine and improved very fast. I was soon able to do my housework. My baby thrived fast, and Is to-day the healthiest child I nave. Your medicine saved my life. My recovery was astonishing. I rec ommend your medicines constantly.'

Yesterday a no tice was posted on the door of the Northwestern National bank that stat ed that the bank was closed pending an Investigation of Its affairs by the comptroller. The hank has been doing a large and "supposedly prosperous business, and the closing of the doors caused great surprise.

The senateyes terday udmltted Richard R. Kenney to the Delaware seat vacated many months ago by Mr. Illgglnn, and which since then has been the subject of con tinuous controversy. This augment ed t!io Democratic number to 40 and for the first time raised the full mem bership of the senate to Its proper quota of 00. It effected no essential change In party strength, however, the division bemg: Republican, including Independents, 44; Democrats, 40; Popu lists. 8. All opposition to the seating of Mr. Kenney was withdrawn, Republican senators conceding that his credentials from Governor Tunnell, certifying that the regular legislature had chosen him In due form, gave him a prima facie right of admission. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hoar expressed this view, and stated that Mr. Kenney's title would be attacked hereafter on the ground that his credentials, while prima facie correct, came from a legislature fraud ulently elected. Mr. Hoar made the further statement that the Dupont case could not be reopened, having once been passed upon by the senate. The effect of this course Is to leave J. Edward Addlcks as the contestant for the seat held by Mr. Kenney. The Nicaragua canal debate pro ceeded without definite conclusion, Mr. Caffery, of Louisiana, speaking against the bill. The pension calendar was cleared during the day, about fif ty pension bills being passed. Senator Sherman has given notice that he will ask the senate to go Into executive session on Monday for the purpose of tahing up the arbitration treaty. It Is expected that the motion will be antagonised by those who de sire to have other measures consider ed. The motion will conflict directly with the Nicaragua canal bill. Yesterday was private bill day In the house, and the entire day was spent in clearing the calendar of the unfinished business reported from the Friday night besslons. Out of sixty-three bills fifty-nine were punned. iijn't Tobacco Spit landJ.Sinoke Your .life Away.
