cation issued by Uncle Sam is the Con-
gressional Record, and that contains more
r<atter than two ordinary Issues of a
newspaper. Originally the
proceedings of congress were published
by contr; G. by the Globe company, but it
was found that it could be done cheaper
at the government printing Office,
and the Record was estab-
some fifteen years ago. Under the
lished present management copies
of the Record have always
been laid on the members desks
before the hour of meeting. A wagon is
running day and night, collecting copy,
carrying messengers with proofs of
speeches, ETC.; 6,40O copies are printed
daily. Seventy-two persons are employed
during the session. great many of who m
are turl0ughtd at the close of the sesSt, n.

A NICEBALA~CE STILL ON HAND.

A NICE BALANCE STILL ON HAND.
Mr.. j. NJ. Odell. chairman of the finance
committee of the city council, refutes the
rumor that was apparently gaining ground
that the city's treasury was in bad tinan-
cial strait, by furnishing the exact figures
in the case. He states that the amount of
money the city will have for expenditure
this year is Sl0S,S49.
The total amount of appropriations
made up to this date is S47,904.63, leaving
S60.944.37 still to be expended The liza
bilities, until the first of December, 1885,
are estimated at S52.26764, leaving at
that time a net balance of S8,776.73. In
the above estimates the Increased cost of
water and gas has been allowed for, and
it is stated that the above balances will be
increased, as all appropriations made for
improvements, etc, have been made with
view to shrinkage. A full itemized
statement of income and expenditures of
the city will be published after the next
regular meeting of the city council, when
the report of the finance committee will
be acted upon.
In the meantime, citizens may compose
their fears, and rely upon the fact that
the city treasury is all right.

In the Toledo Journal, of April 10, is
published letter from Andrew O. Horne,
of Austin, Texas, dated April u, 1860, and
covering two columns The letter dis
cusses very fully the question of state SOW
ereignty and other matters at issue in
those days, and is an interesting docu-
ment. Mr.. A. NJ. Weolson, of the Woolson
Spice company, Toledo, Ohio, is in pos
session of the original letter, and has
written to The STATESMAN concerning it,
as follows:

the heirs or family of Mr.. Horne are liv-

Now, that the strife is over and the past
is forgotten, and the old veterans of both

quested. 1t is a very ableletter, and one

CURE For PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
the lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighbcring organs.
At times symptoms of indigestion are pre-
sent, Hatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture like perspiration, pro-
ducing very disagreeable itching after
getting warm is common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko's
Pile Remedy, which acts directly on the
parts affected, absorbing the tumors'
allaying intense itching, and effecting al
permanent cure. Price 30 cents. Address,

If the spirit of Franklin, the founder of

wise concerned about The progress of print
ing, it doubtless keeps its silent vigils in,
over and around the Government Print

this is the largest printing Office in the

inasmuch as no other nation under the
sun has its printing done as we do ours.

The senate,

Among the bills introduced was one
by Senator Morrill, in aid OF education
in the States. Senator Morrill, said he
intended at an early opportunity to
address the Senate on the bill, aud at
his request it was laid on the table for
the present.
Senator Hoar introduced bill pro-
viding for the erection Of suitable
monument at Washington, d. O., to
Gen. u. 8. Grant. The bill appropri-
stes $4,000 for the purpose indicated,
and provides for commission OF three
Senators aud three members Of the
House OF Representatives to contract
for the monument.
Senator Logan suggested 10 Senator
Hoar that the amount of the appro-
priation be incre ased 10 $350000. He
did not think an appropriate monu-
ment could be secured for $4,000.
BY unanimous consent, Senator Hosr
increased the amount accordingly, and
the bill was referred to the Committee
on the Library.
The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration OF bills on the calendar.
Ou0 vi luG ulGhbuINb NOhbAAOAOA WAp
a bill amending the Revised Statutes
in relation TO trespassers on Indian
lands. 1t provides for the punishment
by fine Of not more than $500 and i'm
prisonment OF not more than one year
or both Of person going on Indian
lands with the purpose Of occupying
the same, and also for the forfeiture OF
their wagons, teams and outfit.
Senator ingalls, thought the fCe and
imprisonment sufficient,
Senator Dawes said the bill was in
tended to meet the case Of the so
called "boomers," but agreed with
Senator Ingalls,. The forfeiture clause
was therefore, on Senator Ingalle's inc
ton, struck out aud the bill thus
amended was passed.
Among the bills passed were tie Ill
lowing: A bill TO authorize the in
crease Of the capital stock of the Citi-
zsns' National Bank of Louisville, KY,
to sum not exceeding 81 100000; a
bill to provide for the settlement Of
the estates OF deceased Kickapoo H.
dams in the State OF Kansas.
The bill providing for the allotment
| VI ihlub III bCNotdiAl W Ah0 AhNlhho
was taken up, but at 2 o'clock it went
over, and consideration of the educa-
tional bill was resumed.
Without further debate the Senate
agreed to the amendment proposed by
the Education Committee, striking out
the special appropriation for school
buildings.
An amendment proposed by Senator
Teller was also agreed to without de-
bate, providing that none Of the money
appropriated by the bill should be paid
to State until its Legislature should
accept the provisions OF the bill.
Senator Ingalls, moved an amend
ment to limit the money going to each
State to its proportion of illiterates
between ages OF ten aud twenty-one.
Rejected-yeas, II; nays, %.
Senator Plumb moved TO amend 80
as to make the Legislature Of State
the determining authority as to the APP
plication of thst portion OF each States
quota which the bill requires to be
applied TO the education Of teachers.
The amendment, somewhat modified
on the suggestion Of Senator Hoar,
was agreed to-yeaF, 25; nays, 10.
Senator MaXey moved to amend by

Five years ago l, my wife and two
sons were very liable TO Gods. We
wore the heaviest clothing, wrapping
ourselves up very warm; but 1t was
colds, coughs and catarrh all the time.
Finally we commenced wearing ALI
cocks Porous Plasters as chest pro-
tectors. The fret year we got rid Of
our heavy flannel as we'll as all coughs
and colds. We each wore two plas-
tiers on the chest aud pit Of Che stom-
ach for three or four weeks at time,
then washed the parts with alcohol
and put on fresh ones; they appeared
to warm and invigorate the whole
body 30 that we never took cold"
