presented the credentials of Mr.. James Nc.
MILAN, as Senator elect from the State of
Michigan. The paper set out the proceed
ioes in detsiI' which were read by the clerk
Mr.. Blanchard, of Louisiana, rising to q
question of privilege, affecting the dignity
of the House, called attention to the fact
that the corridors of the Capitol, on soma
ones order, were closed even to the officers
of the House. Members were allowed TO
pass through bat their WINS and families

at arms OF the House to take the necessary

understood or misconstrued. This was an
old question, and it ought to be settled By

drew the remark "lhis man, Ingalls,"

STOPPED BY THE RAIN.-The Cadet
Corps OF st. Johns Academy did not take
part in the inaugural procession to day as
had been expected, the principal and teach
ers being all OF the opinion that the neces-
sary standing upon Capitol Hill, for prob
ably thrse or four hours, in drizzling rain,
might give some of the boys pneumonia.
They had their knapsacks packed and had
received their rstions, and were, conse'
quently, greatly disappointed when the
orders were couotcrmanded at 10 O'Clock;
but the principal was firm, telling them
that he was responsible for their health and
could not take the responsibility of sending
them in such weather. The Alexandria
Drum Corps bad volunteered its valuable
assistance to the cadets, and they would
have made fine show, as they had been
drilling up for it for some time past

FACTORING IN THE DARK.

No sensible surgeon will attempt
the performance Of an operation in
volving human life in q room seclud-
cd FROM the proper amount Of light.
A practitioner will not attempt the
diagnosis of complicated disease
unless he can see the sufferer and
make an examination upon which to
base his opinion relative to the course
Of treatment necessary to bring about
a complete restoration of health.
Notwithstanding the improperly
of such action there seems to be q
great deal of doctoring done in the
dark.
BY this it is not intended that a
literal meaning be inferred, but that
a great many mistakes are committed
because of the darkness which is the
result of ignorance. It needs no il
lnstrations to demonstrate that gross
ignorance has caused many fatal mis-
takes to be made in the treatment Of
diseases by those who profess to be
learned in the art of healing.
In many dis eases several organs
are more or less implicated and what
seems a primary ailment may be one
quite remote. For instance, q severe
headache may have its origin in a
disturbed stomach On the other
hand, sickness at the stomach may
be caused by blow on the head.
The seat of typhoid fever is in the
upper part of the bowels, but most of
its worst symptoms are often in the
brain.
symptoms Of disease as we'll as
diseases themselves are oftentimes
followers or concomitants of some
unsupported organic disease, and this
is peculiarly true Of lung, liver, brain
aud heart diseases in general, for it
Is now known that they are the re
suit of kidney disease. which shows
its presence IN some such indirect
manner.
Several years ago a gentleman be
came convinced Of the truth Of this,
and through hrs efforts the world has
been warned Of kidney diseases, and
as n result Of continued efforts a
specific known rs Warmers Safe
Cure was discovered. the general
use Of which has shown il to be Of

Col Hutchinson, Of Houston, re-
Gently delivered n eulogy on Sam
Houston on the introduction Of his
portrait into tho representative hall
at Austin. 1t was conceded to be
an eloquent and truthful production
too truthful for some, for when it
came to the question of spreading it
on the records, objection was made
TO that portion Of it which referred,
in proper terms, to tho indignity
and humiliation unjustly put upon
the sturdy old patriot when he was
lawlessly deposed from his position
of governor. "Old Sans fame

will yet confess the wrong and shame

Fusion Sought.

Hon. John Streeter, OF Illinois,
late candidate of the Union Labor
party, was present as visitor at the
National conference in Louisville.
He came for the purpose of inform
ally presenting for the consideration
of the Executive Committee a sug-
gestion looking to the fusion of the
Union Labor and the prohibition
parties. He addressed the Committees
and urged thad the principles of the
two parties were not antagonistic,
since nearly all the Union men are
Prohibitionists and the principles of
the Union Labor parties are general
ly accepted by tho Prohibitionists.
The proposal for q fusion was favor
ably received by many, and it is ex-
pected that further conference will
be had looking to that end. These
two bodies are politically related to
each other, as the abolition of the
saloon will help the labor classes
more than any other Legislation.
We hope that fusion will be eff
fected--Nashville Issue.

Old Sam Houston once got Off a
good one on Richard 3. Hubbard,

bard is a man of gigantic girth, one
of the largest of living men. In a
speech one day he irritated Houston,
and the latter when he rose to reply
said: "My friend, I never contem-
plate the too ample proportions OF
Dick Hubbard without feeling of
awe, for when he was made the Gre
ator tried a great experiment. He
wanted to see how far the human skin
would stretch without cracking!
1t is said that Hubbard never quite
forgayo this spicy bit of personality.

The Arkansas Pass Movement
Auslln Statesman.


The charter OF the Port Arkansas
Pass ship channel and dock company
capitol $J,000,000-fled in the Of
fee OF tho secretary Of state yester-
day, means something moro than
mere talk. The incorporate, Eiihu IL.
Ropes OF New York, and Messrs.
Stayton and Miller Of Corpus Christi,
arc not men to embark in an enter
prise of such magnitudo-that OF Sc
curing deep water on Arkansas Pass
bar without seeing their way clear
to certain good results. That the
project is feasible has long ago been
shown by competent scientific author
ity. That sufficient capital has been
enlisted for its accomplishment would
seem now to be equally we'll demon
strated.. There is no longer room to
Gou5. that Texas will before long
nave a deep water port in the vicinity
of Aransas Pass. There is as little
TO disbelieve in the success OF the pro-
iect already under way at the mouth
OF the Brazos. If deep water is OBJ
tanned at both points so much the
better for the state, even if it is done
by private capital, Nor will the city
of Austin be any loser. She will be
at the apex of'a triangle, with its one
leg resting at VelNsco, the other on
Corpus Christi, aud have the benefit
of competing lines to both seaports.
Now is the time for us to raise the
slogan, on with railroad to the
Southeast; for it is the part of wis
dom to be ready to reap the first
fruits from all good enterprises.
