We have SO often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that IL can be cured, that We
have uncon6ciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
1t is true that occasionally a community has
witnessed ar isolated case of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorable circum-
stances this re- ,ult was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery to
the medical profession, aud that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, If we can procure the organization OF
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t
arrests at once the progress Of the disease by
preventing the further supply Of tuherculous
matter, for while the system is under its In
1uence all nouriShment is organized and as
simulated. 1t thus controls cough, expectorh-
ton, night-sweats, hectic fever, and All other
characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
Of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage Of n disease is always the
most suspicious for treatment. This fact SHOULD
induce persons to resort TO the use OF $50 cure
when the cough is first not ced, whether 1t haa
n consumptive diathcsis for its cause or not,
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
uncqualled facility and promptness. In coughs
from a simple cold, two or three doses or the
medicine have been found sufficient TO remove
the trouble So in all diseases Of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms simu ating those
of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal-
lible remedy

Cure for Consumption, Is a falr sample OF the

TIE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS,

Mr. Ingalls, is probably right in say
ing that the District of Columbia has
better representation in Congress, or
at least should have, under the present
system, than is possible under any
other. In making this remark it is not
al all likely that the Kansas Senator
was fishing for compliment, but we
have no hesitation in saying that If the
representatives Of the District were all
as efficient and jealous as he is, and
took the same interest in local affairs,
the District could ask nothing better.
The remark is often made that if we
had direct representative Mt the Cap
itol, all existing difficulties that inter
fere with needed legislation woull be
done away with but we are not 80 sure
about that. Direct representation would
simply imply a delegate haying the
same power and influence and voice as
territorial delegate and no more. lie

THE END OF THE SESSION.

The first session Of the Forty.ninth
Congress came to an end yesterday.
There will be no moro Congress In
Washington until the 9th of December,
when the second session will convene.
AS to the session just closed, it was
characterized by some marked feat
ures, chief Of which was the small
amount of legislation enacted as com.
pared with the amount proposed. At
the same time, our friends at the Capt.
tol deserve credit for having done So
little that mcrited reproyal Their
legislation generally has been ON the
right side.
1t was an exceedingly orderly session,
also. While Senators Ridlcberger
ingalls,, Logan, Miller, Edmunds,
Blair, Beck and several others occa.
sionally prodded the animals in the
north cage, and Representatives Laird,
Cobb, Boutellc, Henderson, Randall,
Morrison and others kept the animals
in the south cage from going to sleep,
there were but four or five occasions
when Congress was guilty Of really
reprehensible conduct.
There were no al!-night sessions where
wine crept in at one door and wit went
out at the other; where members lost
control of themselves entirely aud
whooped things up with mighty
whoop, and where the hall,of Represen-
tatives looked the next morning as II
an all-night seance Of DonnybroolI
fair had been held The session also,
which is an unusual thing, died very
quietly. There was no breathlesI
hurrylng to and fro of conference
committees and enrolling clerks at the
last hour. There was no piling Of tn,
executive desk with important bills
which could not by any means rece i've
practical consideration from him, and
there was none Of that stale old fraud
the turning back the hands of the clock,
that what was necessary to be done
might be accomplished in five feeting
minutes The session on the whole
lived q decent life and died decent
death.
1t is not saying too much when it is
said that President Cleveland had an
important influence in bringing about
these results His firmness-some
would call it stubbornness-had an eff
feet upon Congress which was un
doubtcdly wholesome. lie scolded
both houses in his veto lectures, aud
they grumbled; but that his discipline
proved effective was as apparent as the
sunshine to man with good eyesight.
Politically the session developed but
one important thing The two parties
are just where they were on the 4th OF
December Last. Not single issue OF
special moment which did not exist on
that date has been raised, and not 6
single new departure has been made
The tariff laws and the civil service
law, the only two questions before i
into which politics really entered, re
main untouched.
The one important political propo
sition that the session developed was the
virtual announcement by the Presiden
that he is candidate for reelection.
Acknowledgment of that fact is to be
found In the message accompanying
his approval of the Oleomargarine bill
and in his prompt signature of The
River and Harbor bill.
Congress is on the whole entitled tc
the thanks of the country for the good
1t has done, for the evil 1t has left un
done and for adjourning with decency
decorum and respect to parliamentar!
amenities.

this, we trust, will be remcdicd in
time. The District has not in all
respects, been treated fairly during the
past session, but 1t might have gone
further and Jared worse. 1t will Mt
least be admitted that the disagree.
mcuts Of our citizens as to certain
measures have had good deal to do
with their failure and the consequent
fnilnro Of olher leglsIntion.

MIR. nIA1NE ON COLLEGES.

The subject Of Mr.. Blainc's address
at the Chautauqua Camp. Meeting in
Fryeburg, Maine, the other day, was
"The Tendencies of Modern College
Education" which is about as intensely
non partisan theme as he could pos
sibly have chosen. Those who went
to hear him, expecting a political dis.
course, were, of course, disappointed,
but the great majority of his audience
are said to have been most agrccably
entertained. In fact, he made himself
particularly solid with the Chautau-
quans.
Mr.. Blaine, as even so cordial
hater as Senator Edmunds will admit,
is pleasing and effective talker on or
off the stump, and upon almost any
subject. He has wide range of in.
formation and as plausible a way of
utilizing it as any man In America. He
is forceful orator, too, on occasions,
and if not a profound logician, is
skilled master Of controversial debate.
What he had TO say about our modern
colleges was in the way Of criticism as
to methods and manners. He holds
that, as q rule, the usefulness of these
institutions ia greatly impaired by the
high price Of the advantages they offer.
In this Mr.. Blaine is probably right,
Education should not be made a luxury
inaccessible to young men of limited
means.
Again, he says that the requirements
of collegiate instruction cover too long
a period, but this would seem to dc.
pend rather upon circumstances than
upon fixed rules. If the object is
simply to "go through college" on the
old-fashioned plan, and the student has
the time and money at command to do
so, it makes but little difference
whether the course is four six or eight
years. If, on the other hand, the idea
is to enter into preparatory training for
some special vocation, much less than
the usual length of the college term
may answer the desired purpose.
Another thing to which Mr.. Blaine
adverts with regret Is the fact thai
there is not the same equality of posi-
tion in our collegiate institutions that
there is in the military and nava
schools. Aristocratic castles and elias,
pretentions, based upon wealth, art
growing up that exercise most per
niCious effect in destroying the whole
some esprit de corps and generou:
companionships that ought to prevail
where young men are associated fol
one common and laudable purpose
But we do not see that this can be wei
avoided without adopting systems Of
discipline which public opinion is
not of sufficiently Spartan mould to ap
prove.
Take them all in all. however, Mr.
Blaine views are sensible and practi
cal. If it were possible for him t
place his political opinions before the
country in an equally prescntablt
shape there would be much better
show for him in 1888.

Democrats of that State have before

THE Canadian authorities have
scored once more on their one-sided
game with American fishing vessels
The schooner Rather, loaded with fish,
put into Shelbourne Harbor on the
night of the 3lst instant, seeking shell
ter from the weather. She did not
want TO trade, nor do anything except
swing at anchor safe from the storm
outside. OF course she was not al
lowed to do so unmolested. That's
not the Canuck's way. The Canadian
authorities promptly put force of men
on board and she was not allowed to
depart until she had been entered and
cleared at the custom house. This was
petty proceeding, it is true, but it
was at the same time an annoying and
unwarranted persecution.
