been making an effort to make an alli-
ance, offensive and defensive, with
Secretary Rusk, to whom they have
offered the second place on the ticket
with Mr.. Harrison, but Secretary Rusk
while personally IN favor Of the renom-
ination of Mr.. Harrison, hesitates to
do anything that might prevent his ac-
ceptlng the nomination himself, should
it be discovered that the convention
was not favorably disposed towards
Mr.. Harrison. Besides Mr.. Rusk has
been requested by prominent republi-
cans Of his State - keep himself free
from any entangling alliances with any
other candidate, in order to give them
chance to work for his nomination.
The Senate is going through an other
violent attack Of the newspaper fever,
and is pretending to be very much in
terested in discovering by what under.
hand methods the wicked correspond
ents get the full details Of everything
done in executive sessions, whereas
every schoolboy in Washington knows
that it is the Senators themselves who
furnish the correspondents with the
news. The special occasion of this
attack was the publication of what the
Senators saidin executive session about
the arbitration treaty, which they have
informally concluded to ratify, but are
as yet undecided whether to make re-
newal Of the modus vivendi a condi-
ton Of its going into effect. They will
decide this week.
These is a curious story going around
concerning Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Blaine. 1t says that Mr.. Blaine attend
ed the last cabinet meeting, and there
for the first time learned the full extent
of Mr.. Harrison's management Of the
Behring's. Sea business, and that when
asked to give his advice he declined
to do so, saying in effect that he pre-
ferred having nothing to do with it.
1t is denied at the Navy department
that any orders have been issued con-
corning the policing of Behring's Sea,
but it is we'll known that there are not
enough revenue cutters in the Pacific
to do the work, and that naval vessels
will Lave to help if it is to be done.

The Democrats ofSchuylkill county
ought to renominate Judge Cyrus l..
Pershing by unanimous vote. For
twenty years he has been one Of the
purest and ablest Judges Of the state,
and his record is one to be proud of.
He is a man of rare ability and inte-
gritty, and the people of Schuylkill
county cannot afford to retire him to
make place for some untried young
lawyer. It is dangerous thing to ex-
pertinent on the bench.

There's nothing len
of Catarrh, when you use DR.. Sagc's
Catarrh Remedy. With the poison
Gus, irritating snuffs and strong,
caustic solutions, good deal is
left. They may, perhaps, stop it
for time, but there's danger Of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But DR.. Sage's Remedy cures it,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,
Cold in the Head - every thing
catarrhal in its nature. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be-
lieve it, but the proprietors of DR..
Sage's Remedy do.
And to prove it they make you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll
pay you $500 in cash. It's a busi-
ness proposition from q responsible
house.
But do you think they'd make
it if they, and you, couldn't depend
upon their medicine

WARRINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Mar. ,S, 1902.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2S, 1892.
Speaker Crisp probably wishes as
sincerely as any man in or out of Con
gress that the Bland free coinage bill
had been finally disposed of last week,
and that there were some honorable
way of escaping a renewal of the fight
this week. But there isn't. Nothing
will satisfy either side but decisive
victory. Mr.. Crisp's position in the fight,
last week, was anything but pleasant to
him. Although it had been some time
ago decided that the free coinage of
silver should not be made a party
measure, he found himself confronted
by majority of the democrats in the
House, together with eleven republi-
cans and the Alliance members, who
favored free coinage, and strong min
ority of democrats and seven eighlhs of
the republicans, among whom were
some OF the ablest and most expert
enced parliamentarians in the House,
who were opposed to it. That the
Speaker. who has always been in favor
of free coinage Of silver, found the
role of presiding officer trying and
difficult one to hll, to his own salts.
faction, to say nothing of others, is not
strange; and it is greatly to his credit
that no serious fault was found with
his rulings.
This week he viii have it all to 60
through with again, as the committee
on Rules will report another special
rule. calling up the silver bill, and it is
expected, cutting off debate and fill
clustering of all sorts. 1t is probable
that the contest over the adoption Of
this rule will be as bitter and exciting
as were any Of the fights in Car Reeds
billion dollar Congress, and its result
appears to be in doubt. Since last
weeks surprise the prophets are all
laying low and Saving wood.
MIR. Harrison has approved in a
special message the bill appropriating
$Ioo, 900 for the G. A. r. encampment
in this city, next September, but there
is good deal of opposition to the bill,
on constitutional grounds. 1t is held
that if it be proper for the general
Government to appropriate money for
the entertainment of a national gather

organization, it win be the same for all

NOT ASSESSED ON PROPERTY.
Capt. Lusk's Recomm endation In Regard to
Two Water Mains Approved.

Capt. Lusk's Recommendation In Regard to
Two Water Mains Approved.
On tho 18th day Of last December the large
water main along the quarry road, which was
laid to supply the Geological Park with water,
was completed. The question at once arose,
Was the cost Of this main to be assessed against
abutting property, and if SO. could it be tapped
for domestic purposes the same as the ordinary
District mains? The same question arose con-
corning the Kentucky avenue mains laid by the
District to supply Anacostia with Potomac
water. In disposing of these vexed questions
Capt. Lusk says: ''The water nam on quarry
road was laid upon the application of the au-
thorities OF the National Geological Park, and
with the exception OF one fire plug, was paid
for from the appropriation for the said Zoolog-
ical Park. 1t was not laid in the interest of the
public safety, comfort and health and in my
opinion cannot be legally assessed at this time.
l therefore recommend that the water main be
charged with each tap taken out upon the line
OF this main. The line from East Capitol street
and 1lth street east, by way Of Kentucky ave-
nue. and the new Pennsylvania avenue bridge,
is composed Of 20 and 16-inch mains. Water
mains above IL inches are not allowed to be
tapped except upon special order OF the Engi-
neer Commissioner. therefore believe that
this main is also not legally assessable against
AUDITING property. The latter must eventually
be supplied by small service mains laid on each
side OF the streets and avenue concerned"
This recommendation has received the ap-
proyal OF the Commissioners.
