Political Notes.

It will be seen by dispatch in cur tele-
graph columns this evening that Speaker
Randall has made very effective move
10 the way of reform, 1. e., issuing an or.
der to drive out the horde of lobbyists who
have for years been permitted to iufest the
speakers room and the immediate halls
and passages. The expulsion of that gang
will have an improving effect on the at
mosphere of the house.
The opinion seems to obtain among
some that the action of the senate upon
the question of admitting Spofford or Kel-
ogg to a scat in that body involves the
legality of the present legislature and gov
ernment of Louisiana. They may possess
themselves in peace; the action of the SEN
ate, whether they admit Eustis, Kellogg
Spoford or Pinchback, will have no more
effect upon the existing government oi
Louisiana than follows from the election OF
door keeper of the senate.
The duty of the majority in congress is
not less plain now. that Mr. Hayes has
seen fit to adopt the democratic policy
by restoring peace to the south; the same
necessity exists now that did year age
for enforcing an economical administration
of the government; Of guarding against
the centrsiizing tendencies of fedora
authority; Of placing the financial policy
of the country on a sound and secure
footing, and of placing the election fran
chise beyond the grasp of federal corrup
ton.

The Pastilant Lobby.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-An effort was
made to day to clear the lobbies back Of
the house of representatives and to restore
the old speakers room to its original use,
that Of being private reception room for
the speaker. For years the speaker s
room of the capitol has been crowded with
female lobbyists and frail women, with a
small proportion of respectable ladies VINO
have temporarily been forced to come to
the capital to beg for legislative favor,
The lobby in the rear of the house, be-
tween it and the speakers room, has been
crowded with a grade of lobbyists too low
to be admitted to the floor of the house,
where only the lobby leaders are allowed
to go. An oruer was issued to day by the
speaker to have this rear lobby and bis
private room cleared, and that hencefor :
ward no one is to be admitted to these lob
bies during the session of congress except
by special permission. The supervision of
this part of the building is intrusted to
Maj. Wedderburn. one of the assistant
doorkeepers. Under the ne4 rule people
are obliged to send in their cards to Mai.
Wedderburn, and he in turn notifies the

feelings OF drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidIty and felching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from d1sor
dered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver
Persons so affected, IL they take one or two heavy
colds and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged
remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass OF sores, anC
