THE STANDARD pREPAnArIoN.
Dr. sCHWARTZE's COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF SARSAPARILLA.


The astonishing success with which disease has
been eombated BY this powerful remedy for the last
three years In The District Of Columbia and other
places has induced thepropnetorto presentiis claims
IN more conspicuous manner, under sincere CON
vction that its invaluable and unerring remedial
virtues will benefit thousands, under whose notice
II may come Therefor, he would urge IL upon all
who read this NOT 10 let II pass nnnoticed, but give
il that attention TO which Il Is so deservedly enu-
tied.
The following are some o ( the diseases which
viii testify 10 It's neyor-faing efficacy, viz;
Scrofnla in any form
lncipent stages OF Consumption, when proceeding
from n scroinlons habit
Chronic Rheumatism Bronchitis;
Dyspepsia, when proceeding from hepatc dcrange
ment.
Constitutional Syphilis; General Debility;
Habitual Costivness; Cuianeous Affections and
all diseases arising from deranged secretions i'm
purles of the blood.
Persons taking this remedy should no. grow Inn
patient or become too sanguine in their hopes of
rapid restoration 10 health, ms its efficacy depends
measureably upon the strength of constitution and
the length of time that disease has prevailed there
fore wond say 10 all whomay feel disposed to test
lis virtues not TO commence before they fully de-
terminod TO continue its use whether II be one bot
lie, dozen, or more, as no two cases are exactly
similar, or can be relieved by any stated number In
anticipation.
Theaccompanying certificates are from gentlemen
Of responsibility residing in Washington cf and not
rom those abroad TO whom would refer all those
who are in the least doubtful Hundreds of testi-
monials can be produced as 10 efficacy, but as they
are seldom or ever reod, or credence given to them,
have thought few respectable certificates, coming
from gentlemen well known would suffice.
CERTIFICATES
Dear Sir: Having, through the agency of your
extract of sarsaparlla, accomplished most remark
able cure in the of my sister, deem II impor-
liant to make all acquainted with her case who may
be similarly afflicted 1t may be the means Of sa-
wing many from premature death. About ionr
years ago my sisters health began to decline and
continued to do so for the space of two years when
she was suddenly attacked with bronchial nffec-
ton, orwhat is commonly called bronchitis. Hav.
Ing been attacked with the best medical skill with
out benefit, and finally pronounced incurobe, she
determined 10 tryyour extract Of sarsarla and, af-
ter the Use Of the very limited number Of three bot
ties, she was completely restored and has enjoyed
better health than she ever before eNperienced-
Hoping that this description of her case will como
under the notice of many who may be similarly ar
iliced, am most respectfully, yours,
CHARLES w. STEWART.

There was no approximation 10 the election Of a
Speaker hundred and twelve votes being neces.
sary 30 a choice
Mr.. THOMPSON, Of Kentucky, again brought
forward a resolution similar to that which
Jected. lie said that il contained the names Of all
parties Of an equal number. Every portion Of the
Union was represented. Any Democrat might
suggest modification. For the sake of organ
zing the House he would vote for the mode which
may be recommended by the committee. lie had
omitted the names Of the various aspirants.
The resolution read, as follows
Resolved, That Messrs Ashmun Of Massachu-
sctts, White Of Kentucky, scbcnck of Ohio, Butler
OF Pennsylvania, McGaugbey Of Indiana, Clcve-
land Of Connecticut, Bingham Of Michigan, Bayly
OF virginia, Stanton Of Tennessee, Morehcad Of
Kentucky, Conrad Of louisiana, Bowlin OF Mis-.
souri,, billiard Of Alabama, HARRISON, Peasee, aud
kaufman, be appointed n committee to consult,
devise. and report % this House the mode by them
deemed most practicable and acceptable for ~
speedy organization.
Mr., THOMPSON repeated that he would abide
by the mode reported, whatever il might be. Tho
dernier resort of all Legislative bodies was a com
mIttec Of conference.
On motion Of Mr.. ROBINSON, the resolution
was laid upon tho tsble--yeas Ill, nays 10.
And then, az fifteen minutes past three O'Clock,

The insult touched the hearts Of the inhabitants

The insult touched the hearts of the inhabitants
Of that country. No one, however, seeks openly
the desired vengeance, and there are many who
expect that the British government will disapprove
of the insoent conduct of CHATFIELD.
The case is somewhat grave, although the con
ciliatory spirit of commerce would wish to view it
otherwise. We can see, however, solution OF the
difficulty England will ask the disapproval of the
acts of AN American agent who circulated among
the agents Of other nations the determination of a
treaty which yet, appears had not obtained the
approval of his government; and to this demand
perhaps the United States will accede.
We abstain from recapitulatng the late occur
rences in Central America, not wishing to make
this article too long. The official documents will
place readers in possession of n history of the
facts.
We wish Senior CARcAcHE happy termination
of his difficult mission. For our part we shall not
fail to expose 10 the people OF the United States the
enormous English injustice of which the victims
are at this moment their own country, Nicaragua,
and the adjoining State of Honduras.

The effort TO organize The House, yes
terday, was unavailing as usual. A reSo-
luton, offered by Mr.. Thompson, OF Ken
lucky, to refer the matter OF organization
to committee formed Of equal members
of both parties, was voted down by ma
jonty of one only
1t is so evident, and has been for many
DAYS, that neither the Wings nor Demo
Gratis have the power to force all organl-
cation to suit them, that it is to be regret
ted some arrangement cannot be made to
accommodate existing difficulties upon a
fair and satisfactory basis The Wings
have evinced willingness to make such
an arrangement; it is not their fault that
this state of disorganization continues.
The narrow escape which the House
made, last Monday, from a '.load of ohio
quy," should induce fair-minded and
honorable members to come at once to an
organization founded upon compromise
publicly made and openly proclaimed.

deceived. They knew that scurvy trick
was TO be played on the members of the
House, and were utterly reckless and in
different to its character and consequences,
so long as it could be made to subserve for
a season the interests of the Bitter-Enders.
These are the men who have assailed
President TAYLoR'S Administration in adj
vance--and who will oppose it to the last,
no matter what may be the aspect OF the
future. But this case is one that cannot
be disposed Of in single article, and we

But what this iron.master appears 10 dread is do
mestic, instead OF foreign competition Now what
desire, and wish to see brought about is domestic
competiuon-th the entire field should be opened
TO American industry, and that the iron works
should be established upon the spot best adapted TO
them, and possessing the greatest advantages
Competition at home works very differently from
foreign, when even stimulated 10 the highest ex-
tent-for il works gradually, and produces no de
rangement Of the currency. Our specie Is retained
amongst ourselves, and only changes hands, and
does not take from the all ability 10 pur-
chase or pay. Whilst on the other hand, when the
manufacturing industry Of England becomes de-
pressed their surplus stock must be thrown upon
US at less than The cost Of production drain us Of our
specie, and thus produce entire arrangement Of
trade. Iron, when partially shut out by specific
duty, huctuates in this country very little in prices
whilst in England nothing iuctuatcs more, and
hence the ad valorcm system is most disastrous.

profits now equal TO those Of any other branch

Of the importations into New York for foreign ac-
count, only forty.four per cent, (less than one

under the ad valorcm tariff Of 1896 the imporations

Of the whole amount. Can any thing, as has been
well remarked, "speak louder than this, as TO the
game that is being played by foreigners, to the in

II is however, within the knowledge Of the IRON

he would not now call up his motion made on Sat

that he would do SO tomorrow.

Mr.. BERRIEN inquired whether the message
was one requiring Executive Legislative action
on the part of the Senate.
The PRESIDING OFFICER stated the message
was of an Executive character.
Whereupon, on motion of
