RepubIican Iii Eeeiing.

Washington, Feb. 11-There is JON
siderable feeling upon the republican
side of the senate growing out of the
action of some of the committees IN re-
porting nominations to succeed suspend
ed officials, which is claimed to be n
violation OF the programme adopted at
recent caucus, when it was decided to
suspend nctien on all snch cases until
the points at issue between the presi-
dent and the senate were decided. 1t is
the policy of Edmunds and other lead
ers to hold In allegiance all OF such nom.
nations until the president or the
members of the cabinet send in the
papers called for in suspended cases, and
to either finally reject or hang them up
unconfirmed until the end
of the session. Mr.. Edmunds advances
the proposition that the senate cannot
act intelligently upon a nomination un-
til it knows why the vacancy it is to fill
was made by the president, and if the
latter refuses to furnish such informa-
ton the senate ought to punish HIM by
refusing to confirm the nomination.
This proposition is endorsed by the re.
publicans generally as q proper political
policy to pursue, and will be accepted.
But there have been several cases of this
sort reported for confirmation. The
first one was the nomination of the
surveyor general of Colorado from the
committee on public lands by MIR. Teller,
and it was confirmed upon the statement
OF the senator that the interior
department has furnished him in.
formation as to the cause of the suspen.
sion of the former incumbent of the
office. The next case was that of Post,
master Judd, of Chicago, which was also
confirmed upon the announcement OF
Senators Logan and Sawyer, that there
were no charges against Palmer, the
former postmaster, who was removed for
political reasons. When the Colorado
case was up Mr.. Edmunds gave notice
that he should object to the confirmation
of any more of this sort of nominations
Since Mr.. Edmunds made this announce.
ment a number of similar cases have
been reported from the committee on
public lands, the postofice committee
and one from the finance committee.

for the very questionable shelter at

the seed is scattered on the surface and
not covered with soil, and the weak
rootlets are sprawUng on the ground
in the effort to find place to enter,
and the tender seed leaves are waiting
for the roots to get into the soil to feed
them. Then one days hot sunshine
upon the unprotected rootlets kills
them, or few dry days cause them to
perish, and the disappointed farmer
finds 1.-THE seed has failed to catch. -

HEALTH AND DEBTS.
Innaenoe Of = Mans Pecuniary State Upon
His Physical Condition.

IeCUuI0fy U00N
His Physical Condition.
A Western newspaper very reason
ably affirms that ones condition for
health or disease often depends upon
his pecuniary state. To insure health,
30 far as human effort can control the
J matter, one should, above all. be cheer
full, contented and calm. You can not
do this If you intentionally or unin-
tentionally incur debt, for debt is en-
barrassing and painfully annoying. No
person Of the least pride or seIf-respect
can possibly be comfortable ii in debt.
Debt is something that can not always
be avoided, although it never fails to
produce, in persons of principle, an
amount of mental worry that is abso-
lutely distressing. Mental tension, Pc
cuniary trouble, is one of the chief
causes OF insanity. Men struggle for a
competency because they. especially
those not far removed from poverty,
fear poverty, not for themselves. but
! Tor others.
A father will suffer more in the
thought that his wife or daughter may
be left penniless than he will if the
klamily physician tells him that the wife
has an incurable cancer, and may die
aeny moment, or that the daughter will
be crippled for life. He prefers even
this to the thought that she may be
forced to manual labor. 1t is true that
poverty in our artificial state of So
ciety involves all the miseries-hun-
ger, overwork, humiliation and sick.
