The political fight between the
President and the Senate is about t
close. and everybody is glai No
questions will he asked ny non.parti-
sans at least, as to which side backea
down, if both sides will only unite
now and get to work at the business
of the session. The whole affair has
been q dreary squabble. over mat
ter that was of small consequence to
the people. Senators CoIquitt OF
Georgia and Ingalls, Of Kansas will
speak 'o-day. and then if n" othe
Senator signifies his desire to b.
heard on the subject, Senator Ed
munds will ask for vote on his res.
olution that the Senate shalt not con.
firm until the papers are supplied.
The contest for open sessi ms OF
the Senate is not dead hut only sleep
ing. The question has been over
Swallowed by preparation for the dis.
cussion between the President an"
Senate. 1t will yet come up for de.
bate. There is a prevailing "pin,or
that the Senate possesses too much
p wer. 1t is the least democratic
ing directly from the people, are not
truly representatives, with reference
to population, and being elected for
terms of SIX years. they haye less re-
gard Tor their constituents wishes
than the members of the lower House
i'ney have special covers of confirm,
ing nominations, making treaties and
impeaching nigh officers of the Gov
ernment. They have maximum OF
power and a minimum OF &C ountabil
ity, and it is felt that this is situa
tion to be Intensified by secre'
sessions.
Senator Jackson of Tennessee,
said his only objection to open ses
sions was that an open discussion,
would take more time than secrei
one. Senators would be speaking to
the galleries all the time. lhey
W uld feel the necessity of explaining
their votes to their constituents. This

cas- wh"re Senators from one state
took opposite sides of gu st;on.
he Democrats do not complain
that Mr.. Cleveland has not made a
sufficient number Ofremovals. They
concede that he has been pretty &C
tive in this direction. Their com
plaint is that he has not made party
appointments. 1t is claimed that he
has pretty generally ignored the par
ty leaders in making his selections
and has named men whom no one
ever heard of. He has raked obscur.
ity to fill the Federal vacancies.
Therefore, it is said, there is no
possibility of his denomination by
his party. He has chosen to igaore
the men who rule conventions and
they mean to ignore him the fret time
an opportunity offers. Meanwhile,

After discussing public grievances

Jno. S Ewing and A. r. Magraw
had some experience IN planting corn

method. Mr.. Ma2raw had drilled in
a crop in June between the rows OF
tirst planting which had failed from
some cause to make good stand,
and raised crop OF so bushels to
the acre. The corn was weighed ac-
curately and no guess WORK used in

But one episode occurred at the
meeting to Cast shadow of sadness

With many regrets the members bid
their host good by, feeling that in

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who, to coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are nervous, weak, fdgetty and troubled by numberless small pains and aches. In the presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality they seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond of frequently dosing them selves, swallowing Ill the course of the year enough drugs to stock any apothe- cary's shop of average dimensions. This, oi course, defeats instead of fur thering the end in view, viz, the recov- cry of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfaiiing source of vii tality, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to thelr debilitated frames, the glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling uncertain gait would grow firm and elastlc, appetite that grandest of all sauces, would give a relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks of the day.
