The Republican Congress.

Here is Congressional cognouit from
the Republican Cincinnati Commercial:
The present session Of Congress has
been disappointing one.
Mr.. Speaker Keifer has not yet scored a
brilliant success.
There is no sign of breaking the tariff
ring at single point, The present
ringster of dealing with the great matter
of external taxation will continue
Next to nothing is to be done in the
way of reforming internal revenue abuses.
It pinches the productive people to go
on paying off the public debt at such a
tremendous rate, but the average Con-
gressman likes to deal in large figures.
The presence of an immense surplus
causes large appropriations, ano while
these are pending members are much
sought by lobbyists, and terrapin and
champagne suppers happen frequently.

How Girls Kiss.

The Maine girl, tall and ruddy, kisses
as though she were taking an impression
in the chewing gum of her native State
The Massachusetts, girl kisses in the
Greek style favored with brown bread.
The New York girl goes at il as IL she
was dealing in Wall street speculation.
The kiss of New Jerse, girl is as fiery
as taste of applejack. better known as
Jersey lightning. Little Delaware girls
are as soft as the peaches which they
grow there. A Maryland kiss is rich and
juicy as q terrapin stew. In the Old
Dominion you are met with genuine
hospitality; the girls kiss as though they
wanted you to stay. The Ohio girl is
described as possessing the comprehensive
qualities of the Ohio man-she wants all
she can get and gets all she can. A
Louisiana girl is said To be like eating su-
gar cane. while North Carolina girls stick
like tar.-AtlGntd Constitution.

SINGULAR WILL.
The Extraordinary Document Left by
California Pioneer.

A will OF remarkable originality
has been filed in the San Francisco
Probate Court, made by John T. Paut-
lind. aud ole pioneer who died recent
ly. The via. is IN the deceased's own
Handwriting, and the chief points are
as follows: IL, John I. Pautlind, Of
the City of San Francisco, County of
San Francisco II guess it don't amount
to a d-n the country ! am in), State
of dear old California, knowing the
uncertainty of life, and being of sound
and dlsposing mind and memory, do
make and publish this, my first, last
and only will and testament / wish
it understood that ! am in my clear,
level-headed sense, and know Just
what am about, and | don't want
any one.horse lawyer business fooling
arodnd.' The will then provides that
his remains be taken to Norwalk,
Ohio, and that his parents and brother
be buried with him and one monu-
ment be put over them. He directs
that none of the children of his father
by his second wife be buried anywhere
near him. OF his two half.sisters he
says; ''1'hey are noble girls, but they
don't belong to the first issue. There
was chasm during life, let it even
be wider in death, This deathbed
repentance and pardoning of all great
wrongs is all 'in your eye and worse
than hypocrisy" The will then pro-
vides for the disposition of spurs,
saddles, pipe, clothing, to relatives,
"Cousin George c. Pautlind is to get
my pistol, belt knife and scabbard the
best outfit for use in the west. Cousin
Boyd Pautlind is to have my improved
double-action pistol, the boss pistol
In America" Further directions are
given about burial. He says: 81 want
to be buried by Masons don't want
any minister or preacher of any kino
at the funeral. The Masons do not trie

The RepublIcan Party and the WHISKY
Issue.

Issue.
INeyark Advocate.l
The fact Is that the Democrats have
had nolissue with the Republicans on
the temperance question.
In the first place it was an issue be-
tween Charlie Foster and the "d-n
Methodist Preachers" in which he de-
clared as the mouth-piece OF the party
thatthey "must be snubbed."
They did not propose to keep snubbed.
They We're still aggressive. A tub must
be thrown to them. So the Pond bill
was passed. II neither satisfied the ex-
treme temperance people nor the fellows
on the other side. Who were these fel-
lows? Thegmembers of the Brewers and
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association,
who for years have been keeping the Re.
publicans in power, by their money.
They repudIated the party at the last
election. 1t was then found that the Re.
publicans had thelmajority of these fell
lows. They are now mad. They charge
Foster & Co. with base ingratitude, &c.
At the time the Smith Bill was pend.
ing in the Senate, the Pond Bill was stir
ing up the Liquor Dealers, Association;
the Temperance element was also clam
orous,, 1t now came to this that the Re
publicans lost the Brewers, They then
passed the Smith Bill at the diotation of
Charlie Foster to catch the 'd-n Meth.
odist Ministers" .at
Wherein did the Democratic party fig
ure in all this? They simply stood by
and enjoyed the fun. It was none OF
their fight or funeral, tissues" are
made by conventions or caucuses No
issue has been made. To say so know
ingly is. to intentionally misrepresent
facts for political ends. And as before
stated, this is fightof the Republicans
with the Brewers and Liquor Dealers
Association wich has regularly assessed
its members for several years past to
raise money to keep that party in power.
The Democrats will support all measures
on the statute books for the preservation
of law and order and the peace and well
being of society. When they want an
tissue" they will make one. Whatever
theories they may have as to the liquor
traffic it does not follow surely that it
must be opposite to what the Republi-
cans may happen to do as matter of
mere policy or in order to keep in power.
Let the Republicans, in the meantime,
settle the tissue" with the Brewers and
saloonists on the Pond Bill, which is
more.of an iniquitous discrimination than
an honest temperance measure. At the
proper time they will find out that the
Democrats know how to formulate their
own principles.

DO Not Be Deceived.

In these times of quack medicine
advertisements everywhere it is truly
gratifying to find one remedy that is
worthy of praise and which really does

Chronic Looseness Of the Bowels

results from imperfect digestion. The
cause lies in the torpidity of the liver.
A regular habit Of body can be secured
BY taking Simmons Liver Regulator to
aid digestion, to stimulate the dull and
sluggish liver and rid the system of ex-
cessive and poisonous bile. The Regula.
tor corfects acidity of the stomach, cures
DYSPEPSIA and permanently creates regu-
larity of the bowels alike free from laxity
or costiveness.

The Cost of 1t.

If the total cost Of sickness simply in
its business aspects were reckoned up, it
would be found to be great enough in
five years to pay the national debt. The
merchant has headache, from fit of
indigestion, and misses a good bargain.
The lawyer does the same with case.
To say nothing about doctors fees, ETC.,
it don't pay to be even little sick. DR..

worse. Her attention was called to DIR.
