Our bodies are constantly changing. The dead

digestion and assimilation supply fresh material.
This material cannot be pure, and consequently the
body cannot be healthy unless the stomach and the

THE sANBoRN CONTRACTS.

i IdE oANbOhN CONIhACIS.
Representative Foster has finished his re-
port upon the Sanborn contracts and it has
been read to several members of the ways and
means committee. and as they, with others who
have heard the matter talked over, agree with
nearly every portion of it, the expectation is
that it will be reported from the committee to
the House to morrow. Among its main points
are represented to be the following: The exam
ination has embraced all persons whom the
committee supposed had knowledge of the
subject except Secretary Boutwell,, who did not
respond to the intimation that he might like
to give the committee the benefit of his knowl-
edge. The whole class of those working to col
lect money under the SanbOrn contract, in the
methods allowed or claimed to be allowed by
the Treasury orders, are styled marauders upon
the Treasury. The cours of Super visor Haw-
ley and ex-Supervisor Simmons is severely
commented upon, and the conduct of SupervIs
or Tuition in disregarding some of the demands
and in collecting some classes of taxes himself
is contrasted with these others and highly 'om-
pmented. The issuing of secret commissions
to Sanborn's agents from the Treasury Depart
ment is condemned as most irregular and OBJ
jectionable act. The testimony of Messrs.
Richardson, Sawyer and Banfeld, and their
seeming attempt to rid themselves of their
share of the responsibility, are severely COM
mented upon. The committee, while thus CEN
cIares that it does not impute to them cor
rupt purposes or acts. The claim is made that
if the contracts remain in force it will be equiv
alent to legalizing bureau Tor the collection of
internal revenue taxes wholly Independent of
the commissioner of internal revenae, and
which can, under such administration of the
laws as the Treasury has allowed, be made to
virtually supersede the present bureaus The
whole machinery of the law is strongly con-
demned and an unconditional repeal of the law

THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES REPORT.
Senator Window. Chairman of the Select
Committee on Transportation Routes to the
Seaboard, will present his report to the Senate,
Wednesday or Thursday. 1t is a very lengthy
docu nent and covers the entire question of
transportation. A Singular fact in connection
with this committee is, that there is no Sena-
tor on it from the New England States. The
Southern, Western and Middle States are
largely represented The committees report
will disappoint those who anticipated an en-
bodiment of the Granger ideas with regard to
1t is a practical, sensible review of
the whole question, without any aerarian theo
ries or assaults upon established lines of trans
portation. And yet it points out means where
by efforts to create monopolies against the peo-
pie may be defeated The report and recon-
mendatlon OF the committee will occasion q
lengthy discussion in the Senate.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs

WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.

TO these three medicines DIR. j. H. Schenck of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success IN the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup rpens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora-
tion for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal. =
To enable the Pumonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely. and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stmulant
and Alternative; the alka of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souing 1t assists
the DIGESTION by toning up the stomach healthy
condition, so that the food and Pumonic Syrup will
m Ike good blood then the lungs heal and the patti.

EX-GOVERNOR CURTIN, who has just re-
turned from Southern trip, gives view OF
affairs much less encouraging than that ad-
vanced by Gen. Hood. He says everybody is
in debt, and that the symptoms of recupera-
ton are few and slight. More than one half
of the property in Louisiana parishes is un-
der seizure for debt, and not a third of it
would sell for enough to pay taxes and mort
cages. The condition of the other States
Is represented to be not much better.

THE cremationists draw encouragement
from the fact that the body of Henry Law
rens, a prominent citizen of Charleston in the
last century, was burned after death. He
died in 1902. The body was burned by his
son at the request of Laurens, who made a
reservation in his will cutting his heirs off from
the estate worth 100000, unless the request
was complied with. The reason given by the
Charlestonian for the singular desire was that
his body was too good to be eaten by worms.

COMPLAINT is made of the creation of a
privileged aristocracy of Office holders in the
ranks of the grangers. The State grange
is composed only of the masters and past mas
tiers of the Subordinate oranges, and the Ma
tional grange only of masters and past mas
tiers of State oranges. The system is de-
noanced as unjust and unrepublican, and the
claim is made that the oranges should have
the privilege of selecting whom they choose
as delegates to the national gatherings.

Elsewhere we publish the appeal of the
managers of the Centennial exhibition. It
sets 70 rth theirwants and the plans they pro-
pose to secure the funds necessary to accom-
plish their object. Without here setting
forth their plans to secure the funds neces-
sary, it may be said that the finance board
has at length concluded to appeal to the peo-
pie and In order to secure the cooperation of
those interested, inducements are offered for
subscribing to the stock.
The Centennial has not been fortunate
conception thus far. First, Philadelphia was
so certain that she was competent to care for
the whole thing that the country at large
resigned the whole thing into her hands.
1t took SO long to learn the fact that Phila-
delphia could not care for the whole affair,
that by the time it became known, we had
the financial panic, the scandals of the Wen
ma exhibition ON hand and consequently had
little money or inclination for the Centen-
NAL experiment. Following this there was a
division of sentiment among the commission
as to what should be the character and how
the money that Philadelphia could not raise,
should be obtained. A majority deemed it
best to go to Congress, but that body has
been appealed to so mahy times and SO manv
times been deceived that it has failed to re-
spond and now the financial managers of the
exhibition appeal directly to the people where
they should have gone at first.
1t is no time now to criticise the action of
the commissioners, for it is too late to with
draw from the field except in disgrace. 1t is
too late even to question the wisdom of max
ing it international for other nations have
been invited and some of them have accepted.
10 inform them now that we cannot care for
them or do not want them would deservedlv
expose us to the ridicule of the civilized
world g.
There is then no other way but for the peo-
pie OF the country to at once resolve that the
Centennial shall be carried out, in harmony
with the designs of the commission and to
come up to the work. 1t is no time to think
OF what Philadelphia will gain beyond the
rest OF the country by the exhibition. If it
1t made success-as it must be-all parts of
the county will be benefited by so magnif-
cent an exhibition. Thousands of Europeans
VIII visit our country, and its civilization and
progress in the industries, arts and sciences
will bejudged by the exhibition. Aside from
this fact, the occasion appeals to our patriot
ism to show how great has been the progress
OF nation whose right of existence was ques-
toned century since.
