OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever,
Northern Democrats.
The next Congress begins Mnroh 4
and in this convention the St. Louis
Democrat directs attention to the
fact that not one straight Democriil
from the Northern states will be n
member of the Senate.
Thirty Senators end their period ol
service on that date, and in illling the
seats the .peinocrats of the North
will be entirely unrepresented. It is
truly an extraordinary fact in Ameri
can politics.
The Senators from Utah and Mon
tana will be elected by fusion Legis
latures and are as uiuoh Populist as
Democratic. A close estimate of the
next Senate is fifty-four Republicans,
twenty-six Democrats and ten Popu
lists and Silverites, a Republican
majority over all of eighteen. The
twenty-six Democratic Senators are
from the South, but that section is no
longer solid. It sends ten Republi
cans to the next Senate. In five
years the Republicans have gained
eighteen seats in the Senate. They
have been strengthened most in the
branch w here stability is the greatest,
a matter of unusual political signifi
cance. The Democrats in the next Senate
will number less than one-third of
the whole body, while the Republi
cans will lack but six votes of two
thirds. A remarkable change has oc
curred in the Senate, but it has been
spread over several years and its full
Importance has hardly been realized.
There is still, in a technical sense, a
Democratic party in the North. It
claims the name and is in possession
of the machinery. But the Demo
cratic party as it was has passed
away. The situation in the next
Senate proves it. Gorman, of Mary
land, is among the missing. Murphy
of New York, Smith of New Jersey,
Gray of Delaware, Mitchell of Wis
consin, White of California, Turple
of Indiana and Faulkner of West
Virginia are In his company. There
are Republican gains over the Popu
lists in the transmississippi region.
The po8sin-g of the Democratic party
occurred there some time ago. All
that remains of it is a minor element
available for nothing except fusion
combinations.
Here Is the remnant of the fusion
Democracy and Populism in the
next- Senate : One member from
Colorado, one from Idaho, one from
Kansas, one from Montana, two from
Nevada, two from South Dakota, two
from Utah and one from Washington
To this total of eleven Senators, of
2lT shades of opinion, is the opposi
tion reduced in the North. As far as
the Senate Is concerned, the Northern
Democrats are virtually extinguished.
So much for the Chicago platform
experiment.
Looking over the whole field, there
is no encouragement whatever for
another debased money campaign.
The-Seuate blocks the way for a long
period. Even if the tide could set in
that direotion during the next two
years, the Fifty-sixth Congress will
be in full accord with the President,
and will put up the legislative bars
against every form of tampering with
the 100c dollar.
Mr. Bryan's friends mav insist on
his renomination, but they can not
restore the conditions of 1800. Their
opportunities for mischief In 1900 will
be infinitely less than in the "first
battle." Then they had the Senate,
-which will now be against them.
Sound money legislation was then
impossible. For the next two years
it will be easy.
Th fusioriiitti two yearn ago had a
program which they could have en
forced the moment they came Into
nower. All that Is changed. Their
chance to upset the currency of the
country has petered out.
In its thousands of forms 1b the most ter
rible affliction of the human raoe. Salt
rheum, sores, eruptions, boils, all humors,
swellings, etc., originate in Its foul taint,
and are cured by the great and only True
Blood Purifier, Hood's Sarsaparlll. The
advanced theory of today that tuber
culosis, or consumption, Is curable by

attnek upon his old enemy, Zachaiias
Bresifis, whom, with three others, he
accuses of blowing up the United States

lawyer and politician, sailed for Spain
about two weeks ago. The Instalments
of the story thus far have been devoted
to the alleged felonies and treacheries
of .Bresnes. The editor tells his readers
to be patient, as in due time they will
get at the facts regarding the Maine
explosion. He describes his proof as
"largely moral."

provide a code of criminal procedure for
the territory. The bill was made a

The only section in the bill which prom
ises to cause a contest Is that provid

The house adjourned out of respect to
the memory of the late Senator Mor

Morrell's death, transacted no business.

AN ALLEGED "TORTURB CHAMBER."
Cuban Avoum1 Ovtrn lleporled !)!
ovor.v In xnnttiiujn.
Havana, Jan. 5. The afternoon pa
pers yesterday sent a thrill through the
city with the report that a torture and
execution chamber, had been found nt
the residence of the Spanish military
governor, adjoining the palace. The
papers declared that there the Spanish
oltlriflls questioned and murdered po
litical prisoners. According to their
accounts the lloor of the chamber was
covered with dried blood and Its walls
were Indented with machete strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered out
side the residence, which was last oc
cupied by General Parrado. The re
ported torture chamber Is a room eight
feet by eight, Just oft the dining room.
As a matter of fact, It was probably
used as a pantry. It the wall there
Is 'a dirty iron bar, evidently used to
hang meat, and n piece of discolored
rope Is BUTended from It. It Is In
conceivable that General I'arrado prac
ticed torture next to his dining room.

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we arc aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kiilucy trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to.' advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
uavel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
pasiing, small quantities being passed witli
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
witli instruments. If uric acid or gravel lias
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third staee is Iiright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that t)r.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cures of the most distressing
cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.
