Political Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Star
says: IAN early vote upon the senate tariff
bill will probably change the plans of the
house ways and means committee. They
did not expect the bill to come to them
until very late in the session, if at all, and
were calculating upon pigeon holing 1t in
committee. There was some discomfort
at this prospect among some of the South
ern men representing districts hat feel
oppressed by internal laws, and there is a
growing demand that something be done.
The men representing the tobacco dis.
tricts insist upon the repeal of the tobacco
tax, besides, the Democratic members CT
the ways and means committee are not
satisfied at the way their colleagues in the
senate are letting the bill go through. 1t
is not improbable. therefore, that they will
take up the bill when it comes to them
and prepare a critical report upon it with
the recommendation of non concurrence
They are not quite decided as to their
course.
The same paper says: 1T may be def.
nitely stated that the committee of South.
ern Republicans of the house will moi
present any name to Mr.. Harrison for Q
cabinet appointment. There is one thing
they may undertake which they think Of
vital importance to the party in the South,
and that is to turn down the men who
hang about Washington as professional
Southern Republicans. What we want,
said the Stars informant, is to get men
who can be Republicans without ceasing
to be Southern men; who can advance the
interests and advocate genuine Republic
can principles retaining the respect OF
their people and remaining in sympathy
with them"

The modes of deaths approach are

sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than

upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown Dy slight tickling sensation
in the throat and If allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing q cold to go without

her trim figure so appealing in long

caught her in his arms. He was in the
act of bestowing sundry violent ca.

a softly modulated voice, speaking in
the calmest way interrupted his
elysium and turned his hot blood to
ice. Mrs. Oruger's tall and elegant
figure was standing in the doorway.
