some pressure will be brought to bear

another funding bill. Those members Of
Congress who favor q veto, do 30 on the
ground that 1t Is risky experiment. 10 try
to loat a per cent bond, and on the adj

ing National banks to make only tho
new bonds security for their circulation is
oppressive to these banks, and therefore
injurious to the financial stability OF the
country.

No Land on which the Sun Shines

Possesses greater natural advantages than
our own, but there are portions of the great
grain-bearing West and fertile South
where atmospheric influences prejudicial to
health initiate against them, in some de-
gree, as places Of residence. Heavy rain
falls and the overflow of great rivers,
which upon their subsistence leave dank
vegetation exposed to the rays of the sun,
there beget malarial fevers, and there also
the inhabitants are periodically obliged to
use some medicinal safeguard against the
scourge. The most popular is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, preventive that has for
over a quarter OF century afforded reliable
protection to those whom experience in the
futility of ordinary remedies for fever and
aeue, has taught to substitute for them.
Whether intermittent or remittent, MAS
matte fevers are conquered and averted by
this superb anti-periodic and fortifylng
medicine as they are by no other prepare

The British Consul at Shanghai, Mr..
Davenport, says there is little doubt
that the dreadful famine which has for
the last three years scourged the north

measure to the spread of poppy cultiva-

available ground in that region has
been sown TO this plant, which is found

Oh gram. Consequently, the graneries
were leit untitled and no provisions made

'hal unless the growth of opium can be

drought will cause more terrible fam.
inc than the last.
