Restlessness In Congress.

There is evidently q restless feeling in
both houses Of Congress. The Republi-
cans control the Senate. but are by no
means unit as TO tho legislation which
ought to be their first work. The Demo
Gratis control the House of Representatives.
and seem to be inclined TO turn their at
tention first 10 the defects of the McKELEY
act and secondly TO the currency problem.
We have heretofore endorsed the course
which Chairman SPRINGER. of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means. has said will be
pursued by the Democrats of his commit
tee--that is to say. by the committee it.
self. seeing that it is controlled by the
Democrats. The tariff is TO be attacked in
detail. Instead Of taking up the whole act,
which mentions thousands of articles. the
committee will take up first one and then
another Of the articles. and recommend
such changes in the tariff upon them as
they may deem proper. Mr.. BASK-
HxAp. of Alabama. introduced resolu-
ton on tliis subject into the House
of Representatives on Monday. He
proposes that hereafter no tariff
shall be levied upon salt, lumber,
bageing for cotton, nails. cotton-ties,
binding-twine. farming implements, wool,
TIN. glass, crockery, cotton or wool
len goods of any description, and
no more than 20 per cent. duty upon
manufactures of iron. This is move
ment in the right direction. But if it is
to be successful, as in measure it will be.
Mr.. BASKHxAD's bill must be carefully
o-,1 . voff vs.
no time for blunders. "A blunder" Just
now and by the present Democratic
House Of Representatives would indeed
be "worse than crime" Beware of the
fate which befell the Republicans in 1890
when they went before the people on a
tariff bill passed just in time to insure their
defeat.
The currency problem was also tackled
by Mr.. BANKHEAp on Monday. He would
have Congress pass law Ito prevent
contraction. reduce taxation, and increase
the volume OF circulation" The first and
last measures are substantially one and
the same. But the currency question is
not well understood by the people at
large. No campaign of education has
been had in reference TO that problem.
However, both parties in Congress may be
set down as opposed to any contraction of
the volume of the currency, and the Demo-
Gratis of that body as in favor of providing
for the FREQ coinage of silver whenever
the proper time shall arrive for this
most important measure TO be passed.
Indeed. there is much restlessness in the
Democratic ranks in Congress growing out
of the indisposition of a number, if not
majority, of the Democratic members to
wait any longer for that measure to be
brought forward and passed. We are de-
srous Of having the world blessed with
bimetallism as soon as possible; but we are
not sure that the Democratic party in Con-
gress or IN the approaching Democratic
National Convention will deem it wise to
fight the presidential battle of 1892 upon
the silver question.
We are not sorry to witness the restless
ness IN Congress. 1t is hopeful sign.
The Democrats have nothing to fear from

PLEASURES OF MEMORY.

What q blessed thing u memory I!
How It brings up the pleasures OF the
past and hides its unpleasantnesses !
You recall your childhood days, do you
not, and wish they would return? fou
remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant ones are forgotten.
Perhaps 10 your mind comes the face OF
some friend. II was once pale, sad
face. 1t showed marks Of pain, lines OF
care. 1t seemed to be looking into the
hereafter-the unknown future. And
then You recalled how it frightened, how
il recovered its rosy hue, how it became
a picture Of happiness and Joy. Do you
remember these things? Many people
do, and gladly tell how the health re-
turned, how happiness came back, how
the world seemed brighten. They tell
how they were once weak, nerveless'
perhaps in vain, certainly unhappy.
They tell OF sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung nerves.
And then they tell how they became
happy, healthy. and strong once more.
You have heard it often in the past, have
YOU not +? You have heard people de-
scribe how they we're cured and kept in
health !? You certainly can remember
what it is that has so helped people in
America. II not, listen to what Mrs.
Annie Jenness Miller. who is known
universally as the great dress reformer,
says: "Six years ago, when suffering
from mental care and overwork, / re-
ceived the most pronounced benefit from
the use Of that great medicine, Warmers
Safe Cure" All, now you remember.
Now you recall how many people you
have heard say this same thing. Now
you recollect how much you have heard
of this great Cure. Now you are ready
to admit that memory is usually pleasing,
that the highest pleasure comes from per-
feet health, and that this great remedy
has done more to produce and prolong
health than any other discovery ever
known in the entire history OF the whole
world. ia lots

irritating snuffs and strong caustic solutions.
While you seem TO be getting help, you may
be getting harm. Stopped in this way, it's
usually only driven to the lungs. You're
worse OFF than ever.
But you can get rid of it completely, with
DR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. That's been
proved over and over again, in thousands
OF the most hopeless cases. BY its mild,

tons arc perfectly and permantly cured
Some physicians will tell you that Catarrh
can't be cured, They mean that they can't
cure it. DR.. Sage's Remedy can. And to
prove that they believe it, the proprietors OF
this medicine will pay $500 for an incurable
case Of Catarrh. They don't see one often,
but they'll pay the money when they do.

Female Physicians for Asylums.


II is TO be hoped that the Senate will
pass on Mr.. KoNEB's bill as promptly and
as favorably as the House did.
II IL has any doubt as to the desirability
of employing female physicians as assist
ants to the superintendents of our lunatic
asylums let il thoroughly investigate the
subject and we will warrant that II will
find that the services of women educated
for doctors have proven to be valuable in
asylums in other States. and that in the
opinion of persons competent to judge
they can be made Of value TO the insane
females In our State institutions.
We are glad to find that numbers of
well-known physicians favor this scheme
With their support, with the popular de-
mand tor it, and with the record that
there is of successful work done else
where by female physicians. the Senate
should not hesitate to pass the bill. But,
As We have said. if il has any misgivings
on the subject, let il investigate. We
know of some valuable evidence obtain
able in Virginia, and some that can be
had from an adjoining State.
This bill is in nowise akin to the bill TO
license female lawyers, and it should not
DO COMPOUNDED or ciassed with 1t. Nor
should 1t be ridiculed into defeat. If it
csn..be argued down fairly, well and good.
but 1t is ct least worthy of thoughtful at
tention. Think of the consolation the
bill will afford TO mothers who
are erieving themselves almost TO
death for their daughters who are con-
fned IN lunatic asylums! There are forms
of insanity which can be understood bet
ter by womta than by men. And there
are women who have gone mad because
they could not summon courage to tell
male physicians Of their ailments.
Existing laws do not meet the demands
of the situstion. Hence the necessity for
Mr.. KoIxEK's bill. and the passage of it is
earnestly besought by the women of Viz

Muddy street-Crossings.

Those who on yesterday looked at the

Ii was O change in the interest Of horses,

No more such streets should be laid here.
This much we say. but the popular opinion
is that real crossings should be restored to

be a matter of necessity.
