Davenport, Ia, July 4, 1880.
Cararrh of Twelve Years Standing
Cured.

From Captain Lon Bryson, Agent
Keokuk Northern Line, and Com.
mission Merchant:
Davenport, June 9Th. 1879.
DIR. W 2 Connaugton, I have been
afflicted with catarrh for over twelve
years, and tried various remedies and
physicians with only temporary relief
Last winter the catarrh returned with
increased severity, SO much so that
was nearly deaf in one ear and suffer-
ing severely with pains and noises in
my head and sore throat. About three
month since | commenced your treat
ment with at once convinced me as
being the only rational treatment
had ever tried, and proved itself so by
the relief it gave me. Now my hear
ing is as good as ever; no noise i'm nv
head and very slittIe hawking and
spirtieg; and had L followed the treat
ment as persistently as you desired.
| believe perfect cure would have
been experienced by this time not
my neglect.
Yours truly. Lon BRYsoN.

DIR. CANNAUGHTON,
From Andrew H. McGee, Esq, an old
RegideuS Of Davenport, Iowa.

DR.. CoNNAUGHToN:-De Sir: With
feelings of the deepest gratitude for
the benefit my son has received at
your hands while patient at your In
suitute. allow me to enumerate a few
facts for those similarly afflicted:
For two years previous TO being under
your treatment, my son had suffered be-
all description. Various physicians
ofrenown had been employed to no
purpose. 1t was thought that his eye
could not be cured. A kind friend of
Davenport who had been cured by
you recommended you. Now l am
happy to say all my friends i'll Daven-
port say that my sons eye is quite
well.
| sincerely commend those afflicted
with chronic diseases to avail them
selves of your skill, and am confident
they will not regret it. | have ex-
pressed myselfin strong terms because
so many have inquired of ME for these
facts, and because i'll these days of
false advertising l am glad to be able
as a Christian man. conscientlously,
to recommend one thing up to the full
measure of its advertisement.
Very truly yours,
ANDREW H. MCGEE.

The New York Sun has the following to
say on the deadlock question:
''The deadlock in the Senate draws neal
to its end. The whole struggle has been q
grave blunder, for which few Republi
can managers are responsible. In the first
place, the bargain with Malone stands
self revealed. After the election last fall
when he'found himself in beggarly mi
nority of over one-seventh of the popular
vote and was discarded by the Democracy
he sought to make the best terms possible
for himself and his followers with the Re
publican side.
His vote tied the Senate and gave the
casting voice to the ce-President. The
Republicans wanted control of the com
mittees, to shape legislation and for the
personal convenience and benefit of leaders
That control could only be obtained through
Malone. In consideration of his support
he was virtually allowed to dictate the nom
ination of George G. Gorham for Secretary
of the Senate, and of Riddleberger fol
Sergeant-at-Arms, besides receiving excep
tional honors on four committees for him
self
Two years ago Gorham bottled the Re
publican ticket and supported the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in Califor-
mia. He was then denounced as a rene
gade by the regular party organization.
But he is the peculiar friend of Mr.. Conk-
ling, and negotiated the trade with Ma
hone. Two years ago Riddleberger carried
through the Legislature which elected Ma
hone the bill to repudiate the debt of Vir-
ginia.
Naturally, many of the best Republicans
revolted at these nominations, but they
were beaten in the caucus, and were forced
to accept what they really condemned. Mr..
Conkling, Mr.. Hoar Mr.. Dawes, and others
assured their friends that if they would
stand firm the Democrats would soon back
down. In this way the party drifted along
into the present false position, from which
honorable retreat is difficult.
The President could have relieved his
party from this predicament by the least
moral courage. But he was afraid to in
terfere when intervention would have been
an advantage, and now he seeks extrication
by other means. How can the deadlock be
broken? is the present question.
There is one easy and probable solution
of the problem. Both parties in California
seek to make political capital by hostility
TO the Chinese. The treaties before the Sen
ate require prompt action. One of the CON
ditions relating to the immigration of labor
is involved in doubt by the language en-
ployed. 1t may have to be amended.
According to the terms of the agreement,
Tatitications must be exchanged in Noyem-
