"Who is H. H. Warner, of Roches'
ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, 60
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have a.
tanned such success and celebrity Il
home and abroad?"
The question is inspired as much BY
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou.
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi.
ness.
Hon. II. H. Warner, then, is Q
leading and honored resident oi
Rochester, not only, but . prominent
and influential citizen Of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as National delegate to
nominate President Of the Republic,
he has been q member of the Repub-
can State Committee and OF its Exc
cutive Committee. He is . member
Of the American Institution for the
Advancement of Science; President
OF the Rochester Chamber OF Com.
merce . successful and upright BUSH
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory Of
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munihcent prizes for the discovery OF
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio foods, the FIRE dis
ssters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 to IS 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need OF more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he was miraculously restored 10
health by what is now known as
Warmers Safe Cure. At once he re-
solved TO make known the merits OF So
potent a remedy, and the consequence
is that to-day he has immense labora-
tories and warehouses in the United
States, Canada, England, Germany,
Austria, Australia and Burmah. Sales
OF his safe Remedies are enormous,
and their power over disease simply
marvellous.
The merit Of a rrcduction is in ex-
act keeping with the character OF its
producer. An honest and reliable
man himself, Mr.. Warner makas
honest and reliable medicines-a fact

the promotion OF trade with Mexico,

West Indies and PHILIPPINE islands,
has published a report, which is
chiefly devoted to showing how
small proportion Of the imports

OF the association to maintain per.

object lesson TO American exporters
In this exhibit will be displayed

countries, which manufacturers and
Others will be at liberty to examine
and copy. Hitherto American
manufacturers have made 10 special
effort to suit the taste of the people
of countries they desired to have re-
lations with, but have gone on the
assumption that what was good
enough for United States consumers
would be equally acceptable to for
eigners. But those who know the
Spanish-American people are aware
that this IL a mistake, and if the
Commercial Union succeeds in maxi
ing those who ought To know UNI
derstand that only IA certain grade
or style of goods will sell freely in

Mr.. symes (Col) characterized the omnibus
bill as
REMARKABLE MEASURE WITH A REMARKABLE
AUTHOR
He criticized the action which he supposed the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. springer) would
take in calling the previous question upon the
omnibus bill That supposition was based
gentleman yesterday. He had come into the
House this morning
TO "sMoKE OUT" THE GENTLEMAN
and make him state what his action would be-
Mr.. Springer replied that at the proper time
he would pursue the course which to him
seemed best. He had not attempted during
the consideration of the bill to cut off debate
or amendment He did not think that the
expression ''smoke out" was entirely parlia-
mentary.
Mr.. Symes withdrew the expression and sub
stituted ito develop the gentleman's position" I"
Proceeding, he argued in favor Of the immedi-
ate admission Of South Dakota.
MR. REED, OF MAINE, PROTESTED
against the perpetuation of the system Of
punching territories, which had had its sole
excuse under the divided condition Of
freedom and slavery in which the coun-
try used to live. There was no sense
and no occasion for using the system
to-day. There could be no relation between
the situation Of the territories which would
justify the party in power in attempting to
force q multitude of states into the
Union without considering each case
on it's own merits. It was a
wrong here attempted to be committed on
those territories, about which there was no
doubt, to thrust upon Congress a question
about which there was doubt and dis
pute. 1t could arise from nothing ex-
cept disposition to get into the Union
a state, the situation of which was doubtful, at
the expense of those with regard to which
every one was agreed. 1t had the appearance
Che did not charge it, for he knew that the
chairman of the Committee on territories
would not be guilty of such a thing of a
political maneuver, of an attempt to put some
body in the wrong; Of saying to the repubi-
cans, ''You must vote for the admission of
every territory or against the admission Of
any," and that puts you in an unfortunate
positions position you will have to
explain and excuse. But the people of the
United States were too wise and sensible to be
deceived by such an obvious proposition.

HuRoS, DAK., Jan. 1.-THE snow storm that

thereof immediately following the 4th of next
March, and with full faith and confidence in

diate admission as to Congress may seem r.-t
and proper. In the event that this session
makes no provision for admission, and in the

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
CHARLESTON, ". VA, Jan. 1.-THE legisla-
ture adjourned yesterday after the eighty
fourth ballot for president of the senate without
changing the result. The matter, however,
will be brought to a crisis to-day by either the
election of president or settling the fact that
deadlock will continue until the aspiration
Of the forty-fve days when the session will end
by constitutional limitation The democrats
have been endeavoring to elect president
democrat or republican-of the senate. and the
republicans have been determined that none
should be elected until the gubernatorial con-
test was decided. Last night, however, the
republican caucus nominated Senator Max
well and if they are in earn
est he will be elected to-day.
1t is thought by some that he was nominated
to prevent an election, the democrats dis
like him bitterly on account of his having been
supreme court judge during the days of pro-
scription in this state Just after the war. and
will not vote for him. The democrats, how
ever, especially Kenna's friends. are anxious to
organize and be ready to ballot for United
States Senator next Tuesday, for every days
delayis against Kenna's chances. and some may
not vote for him on that account.
LITTLE REPUBLICAN ROW.
AS companion piece 10 the democratlc row
over the defeat of Col. Peyton for clerk of the
House the republicans are having little row
of their own, which developed last night after
the nomination of Maxwell. Leading lights
set to work at once TO straighten the matter
out, and this morning il seems IS though they
had succeeded, but good deal of bad feeling
is vet manifested and some trouble may be
had. especially as the democrats do not take
kindly to the election of Senator Maxwell as
president. 1t will be remembered that in the
deal for minor offices L. NJ. Wade, of Braxton,
was defeated by Geo. ]. Walker, of Jackson,
in caucus for clerk of the Senate. Wade conf
IDENTIFY counted on the support of Carr and
Minear, but neither Carr nor Minear went into
the nominating caucus. Wade bears his defeat
by no means easily, and last night it was ru-
mored that if an organization of the Senate is
formed to-day he will be put in nomination
by either Carr or Minear against the caucus
nominee. If the work of slate-breaking is
thus started the democrats will take it up, and
their twelve votes, with the help of Carr and
Minear, will elect.
