Relief of the Supreme Cour, is encompassed
by mountains of difficulty. 1t took many years
labor Of the court itself, Of the ba. associations
and OF the newspaper press to get somewhat
imperfect bill through Congress- At the last
moment it was disco -ered that this measure
would knock the Supreme Courts civil docket
on the head When that blunder had been re-
paired and after the bill had become law, dis
tinsuished lawyers began to pick other flaws in
it. Finally comes a rumcc that the chief JUS
tice and two Of the associate justices have ex-
pressed the opinion in private that tie whole
thing Is Invalid Have we any law makers
among us?

One point in the verdict of the New Haven
railway collision jury is particularly strong and
will go hard with the arraigned directors, at
least in public opinion. The testimony showed
that the deaths Of five of the six persons killed
in the tunnel were caused by the scattering of
live Goals from the heater which the state au-
thorities Of New York have been endeavoring in
vain for several years to force the railroad peo-
pie to remove. The latter have always claimed
that the New York statute does not apply, in
asmuch as the road has less than twenty miles
Of track in that state, whereas the statute pro-
hibits the use of coal heaters on roads operat-
ing more than fifty miles in the state. 1t re-
mains to be seen if one of the results Of this
trial will be to abolish the car stove on such
railways.

Alexandria is rousing from her century of
lethargy and organizing boom. There is no
good reason why Alexandria should not be the
commercial and manufacturing center of the
Capital Of the United States OF America. Such
result lies entirely in the hands of her own
enterprise. and she is in no wise barred from
her full share in the wonderful revivi6cation
which is now everywhere making itself visible
and tangible in the old Dominion In fact
there is no point in Virginia with better facili-
ties for transportation by land and water,
none better located as to the great cities of the
Atlantic coast. none Of greater historical IN
terest, and none which by its contiguity to the
National Capital will make it a more desirable
place Of residence at the political, social, ar
tistic, scientific and literary center of the
country.

There is a funny state of affairs in Wyoming.
Some irreverent chap made a change in the
seal adopted by the state, and the governor
signed the bill making it the legal seal before
he discovered that the woman in the design,
from whose limbs the letters were falling to
indicate the improved condition of women
there, had in the removal of her chains lost all
her wearing apparel 1t was too late to act,
however, when the discovery was made and
now they are using the old territorial seal,
which is very modest affair. until a tailor
made suit may be prepared for her ladyship OF
the state seal Modesty, thy name is wyom-
ing.

Having experience in the work of the appro-
priafions committee and the general business
ofthe House. Mr.. Sayers is perhaps well pre-
pared as any man to express an intelligent
opinion respecting the general wants Of both
bodies He has told the public through The
STAR that 20 per cent could be saved annually
to the Treasury by adopting two changes of or

number Of small committees. each appointed
TO keep the run Of expenditures il the several
departments, but none of them ever doing SO.
there be constituted one large committee of
fifteen members of equal rank with the appro-
priations, and ways and means committees.
This committee should be required to act
on the whole subject Of departmental expendi-
ture, and having jurisdiction over all lines Of
enquiry it would be more likely to do something
than o number of small committees whose only
business seems to be to make a snug place for
the chairmen and their private secretaries.
that il. the clerks of said committees. The
suggestion is worth consideration, although az
patronage and privilege are sweet 1t will not
be easy to break up the little committees.
The other important Recommendation is that
the House elect, at the time OF the election of
other officers, a chairman Of the committee of
the whole, and one OF the committee of the
whole on the state of the Union. This would
ensure uniformity of ruling and better order
ON the floor, asia trained presiding officer is
more efficient than an occasional appointee,
and besides responsible chairman would
rule more in the line Of public and less in the
way Of private or local interests than some one
appointed at the instance of the friends of a
measure involving expense. These are practi-
cal suggestions from practical man and should
not die with the interview in which they were
made. The scrutiny of public expenditures is
the most important function of Congress aside
from legislation intended TO preserve the
liberties of the people under the Constitution,
and the preservation of popular rights is not
possible where corruption and extravaganza go
unrestrained-

OF the Earliest symptoms Of tina. Dread Disease is
CATARRH.
WASHINGTON. March Z. 1891.
A letter from DR.. Lighthill.

WASHINGTON, March z. 1891.
Mr. Editor The great mortality arts ne from diseases
of the respiratory organs conceCed fact but i. is
not generally understood that nearly all the sraver
diseases of the lower air passages take their origin and
rise from cstsrrh and affections of throat and
such is the case. neglected catarrh Of the head
speedily extends itself the roat. from the throat
the irritation is carried and downward toward
the bronchial tubes. and once arrived there
tell when tuDercles may form how soon bronchitis
may end in consumption. These pernicious results
take place frequently that the highest medical
thorites of the day agree in considering catarrh
one of the chief and most frequent causes of cen
sumption Some contend that it has a powerful ten
dency to into fatal activity any latent predispo
siton which may lurk in the system favorable to the
development of turbercnlar disease while others regard
catarrh initse the very first manifestation Of
sumption All sides admit that diseased condition
of the nasal and throat seriously mpars the
functions of the lungs and ultimately lays the founda
ton to pulmonary troubles. and my own experience
fully confirms these views.
Aside from its irritating effects upon the nngs ca
tarrh exercises depressing. facilitating and ener
tnued influence of which the strongest constitution

dure. resist defy the changes Of the weather and
temperature. and other unfsvorable influences. and
thus one by one the vital powers give way The mu-
cous membrane becomes morbidly sensitive. and. in
spite of the utmost becomes affected from the
slightest causes. that at even breath of wind
upon the lining Of the throat becomes pro-
ductive of cold and gives rise serious disturbances
of the respiratory organs Thus the patient is sub
asgravsting the disease by giving it a
new impulse, ard attacking . larger extent
of surface than its predecessor In this catah
spreads from organ to invading the throat and
lower air until encroachng further and fur
TIER finally reaches the lungs and ends in consump
ton This lamentable result takes place frequently
that 1t exhibits in most forcibe manner the great
importance of attending to the catarrhal disease while
it is yet confined to the nasal cavities throat To
disregard this warning invite the fatal inroads Of
the most deadly seourge known to the human race
whereas .udicous of treatment employed in
time wards of this of danger by uprooting the
catarrhal disease and restoring the affected parts to
their normal condition.
For over thirty years have devoted my exclusive
attention to the careful study and scientific nvestiga

and positively curative in its effects. From the first
