When Will It BeP

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-An informal
conference of Republican senators was
held this morning to talk over the general
situation, and more especially 70 arrange
a course of debate on the tariff bill. The
result was meagre, owing to the doubt
everywhere entertained whether a
quorum Of the senate can be held at
Washington should the tariff debate be
protracted beyond next week. No action
was taken in the conference and no def
mite policy sketched, but there is reason
to believe that if the senate finds itself
for any length of time without a quorum,
either adjournment sine die or a recess
for several weeks will be taken. There
fore, it now seems probable that this SEES
sion will practically come to an end this
week, or early the week after, and that
the tariff bill will be left for final action
after election day.

By the helpful, genial action of that most

ach Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the
burden that paralyzed and weakened
them, and resume their normal freedom

unlike that of average purgatives. involves
no gripping or dreuching. If it did it

nary use. There is nothing ungentle or
unnatural attending its operation. Upon
the liver, no less than the bowels, its
action is most benign, promoting a health

Conformity with costiveness. other bilious
symptoms disappear when it is systematic

complaints, rheumatism, debility, nerv-

relieved by it. Sleep and appetite are in

II. V. s. GROESBECK.

SANJ A'NAAN
II. V. S. ~GRoEsBECK.
In a faceticious speech, Chairman
Brown presented the famous Windy"
Groesbeck, OF Laramie. The alphabet
man now made one of his characteristic
splurges. He'didn't say much of any
thing, but kept the audience in good
humor. The speaker didn't turn his vest
pocket inside out, but assured the audi
ence that Alabany would give Carey a
majority.
Song-Glee Club.
JUDGE CAREY.
On account of the ~lateness of the hour
Judge j. w. Lacey, who was to have
followed Orator Groesbeck, declined to
speak, and Chairman Brown introduced
Jos. NJ. Carey. The Judges speech, like
the meeting, was fiat. He tore Cleve-
land topieces, but didn't do it gracefully
enough to excite much applause. He
publicly insulted Governor Moonlight by
referring to the territory's executive as a
tramp from Kansas. 1t occurred in this
wise: He was bowling about the pay
ment Of salaries to nonresident office
holders, and in reference to the disburse-
ment of the territory's funds, said: LET
it not be dictated by a tramp from Kansas
or anywhere's else. Like Morgan he
referred to the war. He eulogized Har-
rison at length, saying that the fact that
the mans grandfather was a vice presi-
dent should not be urged against him.
Mr.. Carey did not exhibit the enthusi-
asm or confidence which seemed to have
driven the ! liousness out Of his system
while addressing the convention in the
afternoon. Il shall utter no word or do
no act which would estrange my neigh
Dor, Perry Organ, from me-" was one
sentence in the greatest effort of his life.
At one stage In his speech the honor
able gentleman's memory reverted to the
time when he landed in Cheyenne nearly
twenty years ago with nothing but a fed
eral commission in his gripsack.
Whether victory or defeat is my
fate" said Mr.. Carey, II shall be salts
fed, and will be the same man in your
midst as if you had crowned me with
victory"
Mr.. Carey must cut a pretty wide
swath down east. He is right on the in
side track of everything. He told all
about the campaign fund contributions
made by the president and cabinet officers.
The speaker said nothing about his cleo
ton expenses four years ago, however.
In Judge Carey's opinion Wyoming
will be everlastingly wrecked If the Mills
bill becomes a law.
PAINTED.
After talking for an hour, Judge Carey
animated that there were some issues of
the campaign which he wished to discuss.
A lady who could stand it no longer at
once tainted.
Judge Carey's compliment to United
States Marshal Carr and United States
Attorney Campbell was literally APP
plauded.

lection and the audience fled.
AS a ratification meeting it was not a
bowling success.

THE PRISON MIRROR, of Saltwater,
Mimi. is an interesting and suggestively
instructive paper. Much of its material is
made up of contributions from inmates of
the prison. These articles are frequently
valuable. A few of the principal cOntribu-
tors are constantly referring to the reforma-
tory in terms complimentary and otherwise.
Thank you, esteemed cOntempOrary-with
this mOdiicatOry suggestion: 1t is better
not to know so many things than to know
so many things that aren't so."-The Sum-
mary.
The Summary edited and published by the
inmates of the Elmira refOrmatOry. is what
it's name would indicate, summary of the
news. 1t has an editorial page, with
ample space devoted to the local news and
class exercises. It is ably edited and is one
of our most valued exchanges Since the
passage of the new prison law in New
York the inmates of the reformatory, Of
whom there are over eight hundred, have
been, for the most part, idle. The man
agement has instituted military education,
and each inmate receives three hours in
structiOn day. Their foundry building
has been converted into an armOry. Any
one reading the requests for work in the
Summary will forever abandon the idea
that prisoners prefer idleness. The Elmira
reformatory is the pioneer institution in the
work of reforming the young and first-time
offenders. Regardless of the fact that
some of our writers pretend to. and perhaps
have, knowledge of reformatories, we all
recognize the value of reformatory effort,
and if there is opposition, i, is as to method,
not purpose. We wish the Summary the
success it fully deserves.

PARDONED.

The readers of THE MIRROR will be
pleased to learn that the editor of our little
paper, from shortly after it's birth until the
pardon. This pleasing event is announced
by the remaining members of the staff with
the deepest sense of gratitude to Governor
McGill, and those who labored to bring
that those loved ones who have labored,
and longed and hoped for the victim of an
unhappy circumstance to be restored to
them. may realize happy reunion and a
prosperous career in an unbrOken family
interest. Mr.. Mirick was sentenced
October 80. 1885 to life Imprisonment on the
charge of murder in the first degree. To
his sister, more than to any one. he owes
his release. She has labored increasingly
from the day of his sentence until his par.
don was granted. The trial judge and
prosecuting attorney joined in the final
effort for his release, and presented his pc
tition to the Governor. in company with the
sister and other friends of Mr.. Mirick. We
cannot here enter into details of the causes
which led to his trial and conviction on so
serious charge, and his release so soon
after sentence; but can state from knowl-
edge of the facts that there were strong
eXtenuating circumstances which were not
brought to the knowledge of the court at
the time of the trial. and which operated
to influence the judge and prosecuting at
torney to apply for his release a few weeks
ago. In addition to this, his aged mother,
invalid sister, and three small children
required his energies. and will welcome
with glad hearts the son, brother and father.
Mr.. Mirck is a printer of more than twenty
five years experience. and is capable of
providing for those dependent upon him.
He deserves great credit for his efforts in
behalf of THE MIRROR, and to him more
than any one is due the praise tor the typo
graphical excellence of our paper in the
past. Personally and for his many friends
within the walls, we wish him prosperous
and happy career May his life be such
that others seeking and deserving clemency
at the hands of the executive, may have
their chances strengthened.
