suffering for nearly year with rheu-

of the best physicians of Michigan and
the west, | happened to try a bottle
of st. jacobs Oil. Upon the first ap-
plication | used fully half bottle, and
its effect was almost instantaneous. |
Immediately dropped all other treat
ment, and confined myself to its use
alone. After the use of three bottles,
instead of being driven to my business,

from one to three miles daily about
business, and have been free from this

THE NEW CONGRESS:

The forty-seventh congress COM
menced its first and regular session
Yesterday at noon, and such pro-
ceedings as reached the EXAMINER
by wire last night are given ON an
other page. We had hoped to give
the Presidents message this morn
ing, but ii appears that the docu-
ment was not read in either house,
that formality being deferred until
the organization of the house of rep
resentatives shall be fully completed
AS will be seen the republicans put
in Mr.. Keifer, the caucus nominee
for speaker of the house, without
any sort of effort. The oleyen green
hackers and independents, who had
been talking grandly about holding
the balance of power" as usual
did not do anything, unless
it were to acquiesce to the
republican moves. Out of the 293
members of this house the republi-
cans will have tull lac votes, to 136
democratic votes, leaving the eleven
greenback Independents to recruit
the republican ranks when a strictly
partizan question is up. 1t will be
noted there are several contested
seats i'll the house. If the republi-
cans have The working majority that
seems quite certain, it is not mn
probable that IL few democrats will
be ousted, as might makes right Ill
politics. In the senate there does
not appear to have been any contest
over the presidency pro tenn, and
David Dayis will probably be left i'll
undisturbed possession of the honor
given him by the republicans last
session. The senate is practI-
cally republican, as it consists of
thirty-seYen democrats, thirty-seven
old-line republicans, and two new
republicans, Davis and Malone.
This will be the situation in the sem
ate-barring death-until March Sd.
1888, when Senator Johnston, of Vir-
ginia, will be succeeded by read
juster republican; Senator Kellogg,
Of Louisiana, by democrat; Sena-
tor Davis, of Illinois, by republi-
can, and Senator Mcpherson, OF New
Jersey, by republican. The re,o-
luton in Virginia has given the re-
publicans control ofahe senate until
1888, at least. The issues of this
session Will soon make themselves
and it is generally be-
lieyed that the tariff will be chief
among those issues.

A gentleman in San Marcos, Texas,
writes, October Sth, 1890: my wife's

Democrats and a "TariT for
Revenue OnIy."

One day last week, in an article
on the tariff issue in politics. the
EXAMINER alluded to the very sig
niticant fact that in the ranks of the
democratic party there is undis-
guised and formidable opposition TO
the tariff for revenue only" doc
trine that was embodied in thu
democratic national platforms in
1876 and 1880. a further illustra-
ton of the fact was given at Wash
ington Saturday night. Ninety-seven
OF the democratic members-elect to
the house Of representative went
into caucus to nominate a speaker
and other officers of the house.
Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, offered
a resolution reaffirming the declara.
tons of the democratic platforms of
1876 and 1880. 1t was well under
stood that Knots object was to
place the democrats on rec
ord, at the outset of the ses-
sion, as opposed to pro
tective tariff. He also desired to adj
minister rebuke to ex-Speaker
Randall, who is a protectlonist.
Mark the result: Fifty-three Of these
nlne.y-seyen democrats voted down
hnotts resolution aud actually re-
nominated the protectionist Randall
for Speaker. Furthermore, the men
who opposed hnott's resolution with
most vigOr were southern democrats,
from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama
and Maryland. What Is the use of the
democratic party putting a plank in
IN its platforms that even democrats

Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking after
health are many. So often have they
been deceived by the advertisements of
worthless compounds, that they are dis
couraged, and refuse to believe any
thing they read in the papers. There
fore, the best advertisement of Il really
good medicine is the reputation it has
gained in places where it is being sold.
No other remedy ever discovered has
grown so rapidly in public favor as that
true medicinal tonic called Browns
Iron Bitters. In localities where its
extraordinary merits have been fully
known and realized by those who have
cen in ill-health, the sale has been
unprecedented. One druggist in our
city reports the sale of 23S bottles in one
week. 1t is, indeed, wonderful,
ealthgiving, life-saving preparation.
1t IS soothing and refreshing i'll its
effect, and strengthens every past of
the body, and creates healthy appetite
and digestion, even when the system is
almost destroyed by the many hurtrul
cathartics so commonly used. Reader,
bewarel duty demands that yOu try
Browns Iron Bitters, if your health is
poor from any cause. Enquire.
