of Kentucky, now residing at Los Ange-
les, California, having read in the papers
the reports of the suit of Hon. IgnstiuS
Donnelly against the Pioneer Press, and
that one of the charges against Mr..
Donnelly was that he had been bribed by
the Memphis & Ell PasO Railroad COM
pany in 1869, writes voluntary letter to
the gentleman in which he says:
clos ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 8, 1891.
"MY DEAR DONNELLY:-If you had In
formed me that you required anybody to
bear testimony that you had passed
through the times with clean hands and
a clear conscience, when dishonest men
could make fortunes under the syndi-
Gates which ruled at Washington in 1863
9, l could have said emphatically, as /
do now, you were one Of the clean
handed. You had opportunities from
your great influences and the warm
friendship entertained for you by many
prominent men, to have amassed q mil
lion easily by simply turning rascal. And
instead Of that you have lived as poor as
a church mouse for twenty years, ex-
pressing your fearless independence on
all occasions, and understand, making
a bare living from your literary efforts.
"If all the slanderous charges brought
against you have no greater foundation
than those In connection with the Ell
PaSo-you are as white as an angel.
"It so happened that I caused the pas
sage of the right of way in Congress In
February %, 1S69-the unfortunate bill
which Fremont and his associates after
wards represented to the French people
as guaranteeing by the United States the
payment of per cent. interest on mil
lions of bonds, which were then fraudu-
lently sold to thousands Of deceived
Frenchmen. Fremont was in New York
and had given up hope of obtaining an
act-and that day was the last in the |
session upon which resolution could |
be passed by two-thirds vote to sus-
pend the rules-but legal minds gave
the opinion that the Ell Paso charter
would be dead if Congress did not resur-
rect it by fresh recognition. l obtained
from the speaker, upon assurance that
there was no subsidy and nothing wrong,
the recognition Of q member from Ohio
to make the motion, and then went
among the Democrats and asked them to
support 1t as one Of the methods to help
the south. 1t passed by 121 to 81, and
that anybody may see the character of
the men who voted for it, I give you the

Nervous Indigestion.

The prime cause of most of the nervous disorders and ailments with which humanity is afflicted may be traced to indigestion. The irritable man, the unhappy woman, the frelfuI child, contrivc to make all around them miserable. They dose them selves for nervousness, and perhaps
 find temporary relief, only to grow more nervous when the inevitable reaction comes. It is in such cases that $. $. $. gives almost immediate relief. It builds up the entire sys- tenn, purifies the blood, gives tone to the digestive organs, restores the functions of the stomach, gives ae- tivity to the liver, and puts all the nerves in tune with health and good humor. It is natures great remedy and never fails to give relief.

Have an Eye to Your Eyes.

How few think of the value of good eyes, till they begin to fail : How many have failing eyes and don't know it, or if they know it, are ashamed to make it known? Of those who wear spectacles, how few have them to fit, or suit their eyes And how few know that an imperfect fit injures the eye? We have for several years made a specially of the eye, its study and treatment, and for twelve months have made a specially of testing and fitting fine glasses by the aid of the Johnston Dioptric Eye Meters. We guaran- tee a fit, and perfect satisfaction, and when this is done, with good pebbles, the eye not only ceases to fail, or as is said, 'go from you," but the sight generally improves. To all who wish to know if their glasses fit their eyes, and to those who have never worn glasses, and want to know whether they need or would be benefited by the use of glasses, we offer q free examination. Specta- cles of all kinds furnished at reason able rates. Respectfully,

When the amendment to the Mckinley tariff bill providing for the payment of bounty to the American sugar producer was be- fore Congress it was estimated and so stated in public by Republicans that it would not cost more than SC, ,OO0, ,OOO a year, and long-head- ed Democrat who predicted that the payments under the amendment, if it became a law, would not be less than S1O, ,O00, ,000 for the first year and after that much larger, was hooted at by the Republicans. Now let us see which statemen was nearest the truth. The Internal Revenue Bureau at Washington has made up from official data an estimate of the sugar product of the present fiscal year and it's figures are 519, 10000
 pounds on which the bounty will be S1l, ,134 ,OOO, or nearly twice as much as the largest Republican estimate.
