Mr Cauxkoik is a much better

Mr "WXnamakkr is so anxious to
keep out of politics in Pennsylvania
that he has purchased one of the
Philadelphia dally newspapers.
Ol n Democratic frionds, nnd es
pecially the candidates of that party,
are In a serious predicament when
even their own partisans admit that
the loeul government under their ad
ministration has been a failure in
every particular. Underthese circum
stances the taxpayers will hardly vote
to retain the same party in power.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is an
inveterate smoker of stogies. He
never lights a cigar, but always has
a waist-coat pocket full of long,
slender stogies and dispenses thorn to
his smoking clientele. The Senator is
very generous with his tobacco. Sen
ator Mason facetiously calls it prodi
gal generosity without extravagance
Thk Texas Legislator is considering
a bill which is of interest to liars
there and everywhere else. If this
become a law, proof that a man has
been called, a liar will become a full
defence in assault and battery. This
is to say, the man with the battered
nose blackened eye and liiatused
front teeth will learn in a court of
justice that it served hint right.
Thk conditions created by the big
storm are not easily overcome, but
the railways, the trolley system and
the other agencies of eommunicntion
absolutely necessary for tho comfort
and convenience of the people and
the prompt disputch of business are
being rapidly brought bnck to a state
of ellieieucy, and by to-morrow av
best there ought to be a return to
usual conditions.
If the Senators who aided Senator
Gorman in his fight against Mr.
Bryan's leadership of the Democratic
party, to the extent of voting with
him against the ratification of the
treaty of peace, could see themselves
as .others gee them, they would hang
their heads for shame. There neyer
was a more unnecessary introduction
of personal peanut politics in irmatter
iuvolving trie honor of the country
than the fight against the treaty.
llEPRUSKNTATIVK-KLKCT IiOflG, of
Kansas, who suoceeds Jerry Simpson,
and who is in Washington, said
of his state : "Kansas is now baok in
the Republican column, and though
I am not an aspirant for prophetic
honors, I am free to state that it will
remain there. The people have hnd
their fill of populist heresy. In our
banks there is more money in pro
portion to population than in any
other state in the Union."

In an interview Lyman J. Gage,
Secretary of the Treasury, saye that
financial reform is neither deud nor
sleeping. "The extraordinary pros
perity of the government finances
and of the business of the country,
continued the Secretary, "has com
bined with the glut of important
business in Congress to delay it But
the delay only adds to the sense of its
importance, aud makes it clearer
every day what legislation is needed.
I do not look for action at the present
BesEion of Congress, but I have no
doubt that the next bession will give
effect to the recommendations of the
President, and the Secretary of the
Treasury In regard to the retirement
of the greenbacks."

"I oan't tell any story of big sums

true story of why I haven't touched a card
in tho past 14 years, and why, if I should

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 are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the hack,
rheumadsm, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
llow of urine being copious or scant with
slrong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
pasoing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third sta?c is Iiright's Disease.
There Is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer,' the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cures of the most distressing
cases aud 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.

8HOEMAKERS' WAX
BxperlinentN Will. Thl Snbstnnoe
That Will Surprise Every One.
One of the most apt Illustrations ever
mado by Iord Kelvin was ids likening the
luminlferous ether to a mass of shoemak
ers' wax. What Lord Kelvin said of shoe
makers' war may bo tested by any boy in
a manner that will astonish his playmates.
First let it be said that the ether pone
tratos all space. It is as rigid as steel and
yet so flexible thnt it docs not retard the
passage of planets through space- in the
least. . It Is an lnvislblo substance which
travels in waves through all things. Now,
to illustrate tlio nature of such a paradox
ical material Lord Kelvin searched every
where, and at last concluded that shoe
makers' wax represented It best. Ha
mado tests and this is what he found:
Ho melted somo wax In a common glass
tumbler. After It liad hardened ho tried
to thrust a lead pencil through It It
would not go. Thon ho placed a coin on
the surface of tho wax and left It there for
soveral days. When lie again visited it,
the coin had sunk to the bottom of the
glass. The wax had closed over It and by
lifting up the glass and looking through
tho bottom he could see tho coin lying
there. Had tho wax been as deep as a well
tho coin would have gone on sinking un
til it reached the bottom. This provi;
that tho wax would conform only to vei
slow movements. If ho had tried to pu
It too last, It would havo resisted him.
An idea struck tho scientist. If tho wi
acted like this toward the coin, how wo u
it trout an object which floated? Ho a
cordlngly placed a cork in a tumbler ai
poured hot shoemakers wax upon It. T.
wax hardened with tho cork at the bot
tom. Vet when Lord Kelvin looked at the
bottom of the glass in a day or two ha
found the cork had disappeared. It was
somewhere in tho mass of wax and proba
bly rising very slowly, but surely, toward
tho top. Suro enough, after a given period
of time tho cork pooped above the surface
of tho hard wax and finally It rose to a
point where it remained half imbedded
In tho wax, just as it would have done In a
glass of water. It rose no higher than this,
however, and a corkscrew probably would
not liavo pulled it from the wax. Vet its
own buoyanoy had raised it up from tha
bottom, through what seemed an Impene
trable mass of wax.
This, in fact, Is the peculiarity of shoe
makers' wax, that it resists all sudden o:
quick movements, but is highly susceptible
to very slow and prolonged pressure. If
you pressed a Uatlron bard down on a
lump of wax on a table it is probable you
would make no impression on it, but If
you loft that iron resting on tho wax for a
day or two, you would find tlio lump flat
tened out under the iron So curious la
this property of tho wax that tuning forks
have Ixjon cast from pieces of it These
forks wero callable of vibration, giving a
musical note and being sot going by vibra
tion for another tuning fork, yet whon one
of thorn was laid across the open mouth of
a jar It slowly collapsed and fell into the
jar in a shaiieless, sticky mass. Any boy
may perfqrm thoso experiments, and the
lesson in physics to bo got therefrom is no
loss valuable than tho amusoniont which
tho performance affords. Cincinnati

Harrisburg, Felf! 14. While the sit
uation In the United States senatorial
deadlock remains practically unchang
ed, the friends of Senator Quay are as
conlldent as ever that he will be his
own successor. 15ven the bolting Re
publicans admit that they cannot name
a senator, and the only thing they can
possibly do Is to prevent the election of
anyone by keeping up ino deadlock.
They declare ther will never go to a
Democrat. It Is this declaration that
has made the Independent element
among the Democrats Indignant, and
many of them have publicly proclaim
ed that they will bave nothing to do
with the bolting Republicans. These
Democrats say they would rather vote
for Senator Quay, who has always
treated Democrats with respect, though
fighting them manfully to the bitter
end, and that In so doing they would
have the support of their Democratic
constituent.
ItEUUL.AH REPUBLICANS CONFER,
A conference of supporters of Sen
ator Quay among the members of the
senate aud house was held a few nights
ago In the room of the committee on
Judiciary general for the purpose of ex
changing views on the situation and
listening to an address bv John P.
Blkln, chairman of the Republican
state committee. It was an Informal
gathering, but nearly every member of
the general assembly who had been
voting for Senator Quay was present.
Chairman lilkln's remarks were re
ceived with much enthusiasm. He said
that he was pleased to address the men
who had been standing so loyally and
nobly by the nominee of the Republi
can party for United States senator.
They had, by weeks of association, be
come better acquainted, and he com
plimented them upon the compact and
thorough organization. Since the Re
publican caucus had made him the
nominee of the Republican party, for
United States senator the personality of
Senator Quay became a secondary con
sideration to the men who believed In
Republican principles and the main
tenance of a party organization to sus
tain and defend them. He said he had
absolute confidence In the re-election
of Senator Quay, and that he was sat
isfied that opinion was held by every
man present.
In resoonse to a number of letters
sent to Republicans In different coun
ties of the state requesting them to
urge their representatives for the nomi
nee of tho Republican caucus, Chair
man Elkln said he had received the
most cordial and enthusiastic letters
sustaining the action of those who have
stood by the party nominee, and com
mending the party services and the
public record of the senior senator.
"A compilation of these letters," said
Chairman Elkln. "would make a testi
monial of which any man mlcht be
proud."
The presence of Congressman-elect
Joseph C. Sibley, who, with cyclonic
force, has carried two congressional
districts in this stato on different oc
casions, has been an Inspiration to the
Democratic members of the legislature.
Sibley does not propose that the De
mocracy shall be a tall to the Fllnn-Slartin-Wanamaker
kite. He wants,
the Republican bolters to get down to
business and give the Democrats an
ultimatum. He says John Wana
maker has been preaching reform from
Lake Erie to the Delaware. If Sena
tor Quay Is such a bad man as Wana
maker weuld have him appear he has
an opportunity to demonstrate tho sin
cerity of his professions and elect
George A. Jenks or some other clean
Democrat. Sibley says the 52 bolt
ing Republicans can do nothing but
elect a Democrat. He demands that
they act promptly or take tho conse
quences. The Guffey Democrats have
been playing Into the hands of Martin
and Fllnn, but Sibley says he wants
nothing to do with them If thev will
not support a Democrat.
Legislation continues to be blocked
by the filibustering tactics of the Re
publican bolters and the Guffey Demo-'
crats against the passage of the Uc
Carrell Jury bill. Until this bill Is
either passed or defeated every other
measure back of It on the calendar
i must be blocked. This Is a bold and
reckless waste of the public time and
money. The state has already lost
thousands of dollars, throupjr these dlla
sufferincr and
i danger of the ordeal make

Sentiment Is growing stronger every
day. not only nmonn the members, hut
with the people, that the McCarrell bill
Is a Just and proper measure and ought
to become a law. While a majority
ot the bolting Republicans In the house
can bi counted to vote against the bill
In th hope thnt Its defeat might In
somp way be to the prejudice of Sena
tor Quay In the proceedings In the
Philadelphia courts, they are becom
ing dully Impressed with the fact that
the Democratic side of the houso can
not be lined up to help them In their
personal crusade ot spite and hatred
against the senior senator in a mat
ter ot this character.
With few exceptions, the most in
fluential Democrats In the state have
followed the load of former United
States Senator Wallace, ex-Covernor
Pattlson and othets who have stood
for successful and progressive Democ
racy, and ringing declarations from
former Attorney General W. U. Hensel,
Congressman Joseph C. Sibley and for
mer Democratic State Chairman Rob
ert E. Wright In favor of the passage
of the MoCarrell bill meet with ex
pressions of approval' from Democrats
In the legislature.
SIDLEY FOR FAIR PLAY.
Shortly after his arrival here, Con
gressman Sibley, when asked his views
on the MeCarrell bill, said:
"I believe the MCCarrell bill should
pass. I am not a lawyer. I do not pro
fess to have a knowledge -of the sub
ject from a legal standpoint, but from
what I understand It was the Infamous
Jeffries who misinterpreted the pres
ent law under which we are governed,
with a view to Insure the certain con
viction of all enemies of tho king. If I
am correctly Informed there is but one
other state in the Union that still has a
similar law upon its statute books. My
personal opinion Is that the measure Is
a Just one, that It will be beneficial In
Its tendencies, and If so, the Demo
crats should support It without re
spect to who may be the beneficiary. It
Is not in keeping with tho dignity or
standing of a great party to assume the
position that a proposed law Is Just and
needed and then antagonize its pas
sage because possibly one man to
whom they are opposed politically may
become a beneficiary of the law. To do
that would be to drag a big party from
a high plane down to a pretty fw level.
Senator Quay Is entitled to a fair and
Impartial trial. If acquitted he should
be respected accordingly, and if con
victed he should be properly punished.
No honorable man who has taken the
oath as a member of the legislature,
In my opinion, would be. Justified In op
posing a measure, even If an enemy
should be benefited by It, if he be
lieved its provisions to be Just and
proper. He should support it loyally as
a man if he thought it to be right. If
he believed It to be wrong he should op
pose It. No one is Justified In making a
political Issue out of a moral question."

tarrh and Asthma. For IS yrs. it has nev
er failed in a single case to cure Asthma,
and Its record has been as wonderful in
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan
ces, run iqto Consumption, or where the
nostrils were entirely stopped upor where
the poisonous pus had eaten holes into
the throat an iuch deep, or where the
stomach had become ulcerated and raw
from swallowing the germ-ladeu matter,
were all permanently cured. Such a rec
ord, uuknown to any other remedy, just
ly entitles the Brazilian Balm to the first
place in the regard of the American peo
ple. There are 20,000,000 Catarrh victims
and- countless Asthma sufferers iu this
cocntry, all of whom can be cured with
Brazilian Balm. A $1.00 bottle of Brazil
ian Halm contains a month's treatment
for catarrh or asthma, and for 6 months
we will wrap with each $1.00 bottle a
mouth's treatment of Toxicola Tablets,
tree. Toxicola Is the best tonic and nerve
and strength builder known to science.
This is th e greatest offer ever made. Ask.
vour druggist and take no substitute. B.

There is a sure cure a
perfect antidote. It has had
15 years test in thousands of
cases and never failed. That
remedy is
