Last and Forcvci Ashooii its Congress provides for mi ndeqimte regular uriiiy nil the volun tears, tho President uiiuoiiiicuh, will be mustered out. Congress will prob ably net on this question without delay. Tun Illustrated Loudon News mid In 1854 : "Texas is annexed, though not (UMiiliuimtiMl, and Upper and Lower California have one after the other shared tho same fate." Krom present appearances tho expansion referred to was a t;ood tiling. Thk appointment of J. Harry Kit bert, Ksi)., one of the rising young members of tho Schuylkill county Bur. as mercantilo appraiser is meet ing with hearty approval on all sides. He is well equipped for tho duties of the position, and will give an intelli gent administration of the oflico. Tho appointment of Mr. Filbert is an evi dence that the County Commissioner are determined upon securing capable men for the various positions under their jurisdiction, which will redown to the intorests of the taxpayers ut large. The present Hoard of Com missioners is undoubtedly the most capable and painstaking that have filled that position in many years. Lawykii Siiiki.ds, says tho Phila delphia Star, is certainly one of the most resourceful lawyers in the pro fession. His "certiorari" move in the recenttrial of Smith for bribery in connection with the Schuylkill Valley Water ordinance, was a surprise, and it secured the delay so much desired, which enabled him lliuilly to obtain the acquittal of t lie accused. And this same "certiorari' move in the Quay case was equally as much of a surprise to the public, and the delay thus secured will apparently surely accomplish two objects much desired by the defense. The elimination of Mr Graham from the management of the prosecution, to lie succeeded by Mr. Kothermel, and the postpone ment of the trial until after tho cau cus to nominate a successor to Sena tor (juny. If the exigencies of the cuse make a further delay desirable. we have not the slightest doubt of Mr Shields' ability to manage it. Honey Plentiful. Scarce though we may find it in on individual capacity, and as hard 119 it is to get, there is no room to doubt that money is plenty, although the calamity howlers are still nervlus hoiusel'veB to shout tho copiry. The best evidence of s is to be found In tho tdot that the savings b-uKs throughout tho country have so much money on hand that they are compelled to reduce tho rate of inter cut, paid to depositors. If this were tho caso onlv in isolated localities the calamity croakers might crawl out of the dilemma by claim ing it to be the result of local causes. Hut this is not the case, as tho same disgustingly healthy condition of affairs prevails in many leading cities in different parts of the country. The best evidence of this healthy finan cial condition is, however, to bo found In the fact that Western banks find it more profitable to lend their money ou commercial paper in the Kast than to lend it at home, where trie farmers, who have been borrowers for go many years, now have money In bank after laying their debts. The financial heresies of tho Bryan wing of the Democracy are not so popular with the farmers with money to lend as they were with the farnior in debt. That the farmers of Ne braska, the state of Bryan, the great apostle of 45-cent dollars, are sharing In the general prosperity is apparent when the banks of the state, without any preconcerted action but by com mon consent, find It necessary to re fluce Interest rates one to two per cent., owing to the plethora of money for investment.

It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, llie sallow parsnip colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheuma tism, a dull pain or ache in the back jr, over, the hips, stomach trouble, desaettyunnate often, or a burning or scalding in jMS&ing it ; if after ?lug there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine lias a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, cntarrli of the bladder, inllammatiou, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Iirigbt's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamji-Root, the great dis covery of the eminent kidney and bladdci specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis eases.

Four more bodies were found yesterday In the wreckage nf the collapsed gas holder at Twentieth street and Avenue A. This brings the list of dead up to six, as follows: Plus Hauin, engineer In Fuldner's furniture fnetory; John Gray, 75 years old, watchman nt the bus works; August Wenlcke, 1C yenrs old, son nf the con tractor's foreman; Andrew Wendt, la borer ; I'eter Conlln, laborer; Qeorgo W. Bremer. 25 years old, timekeeper for the I.ogan Iron works. The tanlc Hint oouapseu was no leei In diameter, 1C0 feet In height, and the Iron supportB ovor which the lmmens.5 cables ran wore over 200 feet In height. The lower tank, Into which the upper ono fitted, was 25 feet In height, and rested on mason work nf the pit. This pit is 150 feet deep. The builders were testing the strength or tne lanK wun water pressure. Immense pipes had bon pouring water Into the lower tank all day. The woikmen were preparing to leave the plaoe when the mason work of the pit orumhled awav like clay. As to the cause of the collapRo of the new gas holder nothing Is knviV.. The mass of glrde.s. sheet Iron, braces, etc., lies In a great mound ns high a.s an ordinary three story house. The roason for the wreck will be known when -this I'ebrls Is cleared away. The thei rv most comnirnly believed Is that the I. nli burst becaufco a settlement of the foundation on ono side sent 5,000,000 gallons of. water surging with Irre sistible forco against the northern side of the structure. It Is said that the foundation on which the holder rested stood on made ground, which would be very likely to buckle under tre I mendoua strain.

Mr. Ken ncy said the payment was made for legal services rendered J. Edward Ad dicks In the matter of obtaining foi him a divorce. Judge Bradford grant ed the application, .1, Frank Allee, a member of the ex ecutive committee which approved the voucher, was the only witness. He said Mr. Kenney was retained as pri vate counsel for the company, and that the retainer was for services to be rendered the company. The defense drew from the witness that the exigen cies did not arise, and that Mr. Kenney never performed any services for tho company. Immediately after recess Attorney Biggs presented the prayers of the de fense, after which the District At torney began his first speech to tho Jury. He spoke for an hour nnd three quarters, in which he made a scathing arraignment of Senator Kenney, whose guilt, he said, was clearly proved by the evidence presented by the gov ernment.

Considerable excitement was created Nov. 10 by the landing nt Apia, Samoa, of a party of blue Jackets from the British and German warships. While no serious trouble is anticipated at present, the representatives of the powers thought wise to make a demonstration, owing to the number of natives who have congregated at Aullnu, so as to show- that the powers are determined to pro tect the white residents. The party landei at Amtautal and marched through the town, headed by the Ger man land from the Buzzard, with the drum and fife corps from H. M. S. Porpoise. After making dlsplny to the natives both parties returned to their respective ships. The chiefs supporting Mataafa have notified the chief Justice that they have elected Mataafa king of Samoa, and that a protest has been lodged by cer tain other chiefs who dispute his elec tion.

Jacksou poluts to tba startbug fact that there nre now 20 million Catarrh victims lu this couutry anil the number rapidly increasing, It has already become the National Disease. Are we to become a nation of Catarrhites? It looks like it. The Aburii-lnal Indians nre said not to have known the disease. That proves ills not caused ny our climate auu must nave uecn imponeu, Its growth was Blow but persistent. Forty years ngo there were less than 10.000 cases In the U. S-, to-day there nre 20 million. Soon there will be 30 million. Where la It to end? Shall we not awake till It has fastened Its fangs ou every man, woman and child In the land? now snail we preveui it unie s we rane unmcu lale and - 'morons stens to stamn out the nlaeue? This putrid disease kuows no sex, no class, no station, 11 is everywnere. a germ oiiitroucj disease it spreads by coutaclon. The carion breath and expectoration of the poor victim ore loaded with these microbes. Others breath them lu, they find lodgement and never release tneir hold till the victim lies down In death, unices every microbe Is killed. Hut can they be killed ? Yes, but not by any "blood medicine." No Ca tarrh germ was ever found In the blood. The trouble Is locnl aud must be treated locally. A balsam has been discovered that is sure death to the Catarrh microbe, making a radical aud permanent cure. It Is Brazilian Bntm. It has cured tens of thousands lu the past 15 years. It nlso cures all the troubles caused by Catarrh, as Sore Throat, Old Coughs, nroncliltls, Asmtna nnd I.uug troubles. The swallowing of the Catarrh pus makes the Stomach raw aud ulcer ated. The Drazlllnn Halm soon makesa radical cure of the Stomach nnd alimentary caual. It is the cheapest remedy ou the market, a $1.00 bottle containing ft whole month's treatment. As all sufferers with Cat3rrh nnd Asthma have run-down systems we will tin Jnnuary next put a month's treatment of Toxlcola Tablets, free, In with every $1.00 bottle of Drailllan Balm.
