been passed. Either, in spite OF ex :
cuses, seems beyond the Congressions
grasp. What has been done as duty
was mechanically performed. Not q
statesman has risen above the heads of
these pot-house politicians, and stood
firm and unrelenting for the people.
A Republican will attribute all of this
to Democracy that is on a level with
the pot-house politician. A taxpayer,
whose own interests are greater than
politicians ambitions will attribute it
to the men, whichever way he votes.
There is the remedy. The Senate and
House need statesmen, willing to sac
rifce themselves instead of the people.
THE COMING ELECTIONS
will afford the tax payer and sufferer
an opportunity to profit by experience.
There are men in Congress who will
be returned because their living con-
stituents are blind. This is a charac-
teristic American weakness. And yet
there are some Districts where's bet
ter. Republican or better Democrat
viii be elected. It is time to drop the
fogyism of voting for man just BE-
cause he is Democrat or Republicans.
That is how sosmanys scoundrels come
to Congress. A man who votes against
his own constituents should be defeat
ed, though esbe st. Paul. And as
a matter of fact, there are enough
Democrats or Republicans, Just as the
case may be, to send honest and faith
full men to Congress.
AFTER-sEssION WORK
promises to be abun liant, though many
will depart at once for the seat of war.
It is said that some constituencies
have heard so little of their Represen-
tatiyes this session. that the sooner
home the better. But number will
remain and endeavor to convince the
Postmaster-General that appointments
should be more frequent in their Dis
tricts. Others will lay in ambush and
spring upon Grover Cleveland at the
first opportunity. In fact, many Con
gressmen will once more show their
true colors, and resume the game of
seek. SHADOW.

tics to say and do little, lest somebody
say and do too much: No honest Con-
eressman need fear to sit out the year
and perform his duty. AS it is, many
important measures will be untouched
when this session closes, such as bills
on bankruptcy, polygamy, inter-na-
tional copyright, finance, railroads,
taxation. internal revenue and other
live subjects.
THE SENATE

clerks, not exceeding 148, for the ar

tax on cotton collected, go -'6S, from
people of certain States, to be used

Blair asks that the surplus resolution

THE HOUSE

the Fertilization Bill, appropriating

Mr.. Randall, the patronage of Amer

ted authorizing retaliatory steps in
cases like that of Canada's seizures.
The River and Harbor afforded an
other opportunity for false economists.
On Thursday and Saturday, the bill
for the increase of the navy was con-

WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE
will be food for thought many moons
to come. Partisans are satisfied with
the work. What prompts Congress
i. to do anything is, Of course, an exclu,
sive desire to gratifiy partisans. Now,
the Republican partisan believes he
has vanquished the Democratic parti-
san, and uice versa. This belief, per-
haps, would have existed, it Congress
had sat still and folded its arms. So,
as a matter of fact, what Congress has
done, OF has not done, is but small
ingredient of the political poison par
tisans compound. 1t is utterly useless,
therefore, to study session of Com
grass under the tuition of partisanship.

The Reidsville Weekly records the
fact that F. r. Penn & Co., tobacco
manufacturers at that place, made q
sale last week of 1000 forty-pound
boxes of plug tobacco-28O, 900 pounds.
The tobacco was purchased by one
firm Leaving out of the count the
government contracts, we suppose the
sale recorded by the Weekly is the
greatest single transaction in the his
tory Of the plug trade Of Virginia OF

A REACTION.

! The utterances of two men which wer,
 made public yesterday are important anG significant These two are MT. Powderly ! the head of the Knights of Labor, and Chic Engineer Arthur of the Brotherhood of Lo- 1 motive Engineers, which is the best organ ized and most successful trade union in this country.
 MT. Powderly's words show that he is tired and somewhat discouraged. That he is is no wonder, for he has been @ very busy man lately and has had great responsibility up on him. And it has been evident that his
 good advice has not always received the at- tention which it has deserved. He now
 says: am not physically or mentally capa-
 ble of performing the work required of me.
 l am willing to do my part, but must not be
 asked to maintain a false position before the
 world any longer. One of two things must
 take place: Either the local and district as-
 semblies of the order must obey it's laws, or must be permitted to resign from voca-
 tion which obliges me to play one part be- fore the public and another to our members x It is impossible for human nature to stand the strain any long, CT. I must have the assistance of the order or my most earnest efforts will fail Will I have it? If so strikes must be avoided boy cotts must be avoided. Those who boast must be checked by their assemblies No move must be made until the court of last resort has been appealed to. Threats of vio- fence must not be made. Politicians must be hushed or driven out. Obedience to the laws of KHighthood must have preference over those of any other order.
 Chief Arthur declares that the organiza- tion of which he is the head will have noth- ing to do with boycotting. He does not be-
 ieve in putting man worth three dollars day in an organization with the man worth one dollar and half day. And concern ing the eight hour doctrine he says: ''Two hours less work means in too many cases two hours more loafing about the corners and two hours more for drinking"
 These remarks by the two great leaders of labor are well worth the attention of those whom they are set to govern. They are shrewd and able men, and they see very plainly the mistakes that have been made It is to be hoped that their followers will follow them now

Dr. Marks was very anxious to get up school as the first step in civilization, and made his petition, first, for the permission and then for 8 build ing where it could be held, both of which re- quests were granted. After it was opened he told the King what an immense advantage it would be If his majesty would allow one or two of his children to go to school "How old do you want them?" asked the King.
 About 10 years old," replied Dr. Marks. Then, turning to one of the court, the King said: "How many children have I about 10 years old!" ''Nine boys, your golden -frilled majesty" And nine nice, bright looking lads of the right age were called up and formally given over as pupils of the English Christian school. The next day they arrived, mounted on elephants; but when they got down and came into the building every human being there, children, assistants, etc., all went down upon their stomachs, prostrating them selves before the princes, and not a bit of teaching could be done.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes: "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and
 can honestly say to-day that one spoont.d of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.''
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
