CONGRESSMAN BoUTELLE, of Maine made strong and witty speech in the house of representatives lately. Among other good things, he said:
 The New York Times ought to be ac cepted as tolerable democratic author ity. [Laughter.l It has gone deeper and stayed out of sight longer ID democrat ic mud than any other newspaper in this country, and you gentlemen, ought not to go back on it; but it had lucid In- terval the other day, on.t the Eth day of January, 1892, when it said in leading editorial:
 'The returns from the bureau of sta tistics of exports of merchandise con- tinue to be of a character simply extra ordinary. In the the month of Novem- Der, 1891, these exceeded S1l0,000,OOO, yielding net balance as against exports in favor of this country for that month alone of over s45,OOO,OOO and bringing a net balance for three months previous to December 1st, to nearly 103,OO0,OOO. It is impossible that such sound facts as these shall not tell with great effect up on the general prosperity of the country. They involve directly a degree of profit to the agricultural class that has not been known in recent years, and iD- directly to the transportation an ] man. ufacturing interests. Meanwhile money continues entirely easy and obtainable by all who have legitimate use for it. and so far as money-mRking goes there is no visible reason why sthe United States should not have a happy new year.
 And, MT. Speaker, the only. people in the United States today who fail to unite in that aspiration are those who claIm to be the leaders of the democratic party; and will say to them, Tn sconclu- sion that the peopleiof thisgreat country are going to have happy and prosper ous new year in spite of the democratic party, the gentlemen from Indiana Mir. HoImanl and his nlckel-slot machine.

had been troubled five months with Dyspepsia. The doctors told me 1t was chronic. I had a fullness after eating and heavy load in the pit of my stomach. I suffered ire quent1y from a Water Brash of clear matter. Sometimes a deathly Sick ness at the Stomach would overtake me. Then again I would have the terrible pains of Wind Collie. At such times I would try to belch and could not. I was working then for Thomas McHenry, Druggist, Cor. Irwin and Western Ave, Allegheny City, Pa, in whose employ had been for seven years. Finally I used August Flower, and after using just one bottle for two weeks, was en- tirely relieved or all the trouble. I can now eat things dared not touch before. Iwould like to refer you to MT.

Jsseph, in a recent interview said:
 This is the fourth time l have gone before the senate committee on terri tories in support of the admission of New Mexico. Tue experience of the past hardly justities confidence in the future. Heretofore 1t has been lmpos-
 sible to get the senate committee to take action of any kInd. Chairman Platt simply exercised the senatorial
 pre- erogative of pocket velo. He never even called the matter to the attention of the full committee. It maybe that MT. Platt has undergone a change of heart, as it were, since last session, but I fear not. It does seem unjust that 1t
 should be in the power of one man to de- feat the will of the United States senate
 by simply shoveing a bill, reported to
 the committee of which he is char man. into his pocket, and keeping 1t there. Senator Piatt knows we'll that even should hls committee report ad- versely the enabling act for New Mexico, the senate would pass it. 1 have very little hope, however, Of seeing New Mex leo admitted to the union at this con- gress.

SECRETARY BLAINE IS not man o1 quick temper, but his even disposition was so badly disturbed by the silly statement made without the slightest foundation, that his letter stating that his name would not be presented to the Minneapolis convention was but the preliminary move towards his perma- uent retirement from public life, and that he intended in the near future to resign from the cabinet, that he lost his temper, as the best mau in the world would probably have done under the same circumstances. He characterized the statement as "an infernal lie. circu- lated by idle men who have nothing better to do" MT. Blaine was never more interested in the duties of his po- sition, and in the welfare of the repub- lican party which he recognizes as that of the country, than he is today, and If his health continues as good as 1t now is he will certainly remain at the head of the state department during the rest of this administration, and during the next one too, unless his desires undergo great change.

METHODIST WOMEN BARRED ouI
The New York Conference Refuses s
 Receive Them as Memhers

The New York Conference Refuses se Receive Them Members. Women crowded to the sixth days ses- sion of the New York Methodist confer ence in the First Methodist Episcopal church, Yonlers, for they were greatly interested in the question under discus sion, Shall women be admitted to the conference?" They went away vastly disappointed, for the result of the ballot ing dashed their hopes.
 Rev. G. Fl. Smith first spoke on the great question of the day. He favored the admission of women to the confer ence, and declared there was nothing in Scripture which would debar women from the convention or from sharing in the highest h0nors of the church. W. H. Mckinney spoke against the ladies, who eyed him unfavorably. He said home was the place for women; the conference for men. He asked the mem- bers to vote against their admission. w. H. Mickle addressed the meeting on the affirmative side of the question. but Dr. McChesney took the other. He questioned the advantage the conference would derive from the presence of wom- en. He said that the world had heard 6 great deal about the rights of women but nothing as to what will be accom- plished by their admission to the confer ence He asked if the conference would call for volunteers for the army would women enlist? This, he said, they could not do, as it would be against natura. and it would be equally unnatural to let them into the conference. Dr. McChesnev closed his remarks thus: If we mako this change, whatever may be the result, it will cause the people of other churches to look at 1t as strange and Outland1sh action. It will alienate many of our best Methodist families from the church"
 Rev. J. O. Stone said: ''We live in an age that is moving. have never known that the sex question has been brought up in the administration of government in Europe, nor has woman's intellect uality been Ques- oned. More than half who have pledged themselves to go into ! foreign lands as missionaries are women. So women are taking part in the for ward movement of the world. Let us view this question calmly; let us not tilt against it as so many Quixotes with lances poised"
 Dr. Day followed in the same strain.
 Dr. Geurge \. McGraw was also in favor of admitting the women. He said that there was not a passage in tEe Script ures fcrbidjing their presence in the conference, and he wished them there on that account and because of their major ity in tae church. Two-thirde of its mem bers were women.
 We are tOld," said Rev. P. J. Ror- nance. that if tho women are not ad- mitted into the general conference they will form a new church. If they are ad- nlitted bad results will follow. So, choos ing the lesser of the two evils, shall VI. c~ainst their admission"
 Rev. 4. Fl. Ferguson said he should -n5e on Ine sisters side of the question.
 When the debate ended Bishop Fitz- gerald announced that the voting would proceed. It was an open ballot by yeas aGd aa-s. Two hundred and forty-two members voted-1S0 against and 62 in favor of the proposition--New York World.

THE supreme court of the District Of Columbia sitting in banc, on the 5Uh in- stant, heard arguments of council in what is known as the silver brick case. The contention in this case is, in brief, that the act of 1878 restored silver to free coinage. The petitioners ask for writ of mandamus to compel respond ent to instruct the proper officers to re ceive and coin silver bullion rendered to the superintendent of the United States mint on March 4th last. The coinage was refused on the ground that it would be ln violation of law. The petition the respondent demurred and as it is in the case it was heard. Jere Wilson ap> peared for the petitioners and Assistant Attorney-General Maurey for the United States government. MT. Wilson as serted that the act of 1873, which de- monetlzed silver, is unconstitutional, and that part of the act still remains in force. Assistant Attorney-General Maurey read an abstract from the de- cision of the United States ex rel Dun lap vs Black, in which it was stated that the court would not interfere by mandamus with the executive officers of the government in the exercises of their ordinary official duties, even where these duties require an interpretation of the law, the court having no appellate power for that purpose. Resting on the law as settled by the case cited, MT. Maurey declined to enter upon an argument ID support of the stand in question taken by the secretary of the treasury unless requested to do so by the court. The case will probably go to the supreme court of the United States for a de- cision.

SENATORIAL circles, irrespective oi party, were shocked by the cheek rec ently displayed by Senator Hill At his request the senate committee sever al times postponed its report on the nomination of Postmaster Rathbun, oi Elmira, N. Y. but, at last finding that Hill could show no good reason for hold ing up the nomination longer the con- mittee favorably reported it. This week when the report was called up in execu- tive session of the senate, Hill presented, by proxy, a very modest request that the senate would defer action until his re- turn from setting up the pins for the control of the New York delegation to the Chicago convention. Did the sen ate get mad? No, it at oncecontirmed MT. Rathbun's nomination.

The New Electric plant.

T. d. Davidson has as fine an electric
plant now in operation as any city of
equal size in the country can boast of.
The system is known as the alternating,
the advantages being that tbs ABSOLUTELY
sale so far as EVIL results to individuals
coming in contact with live wires is con-
cerned. BY simple but yet effective
system OF converters enough electricity
is induced from the main wires to supply
the number ofliglits required. Unlike the
old system, which required circuits of
eight lights any number, either great or
small can be supplied to any customer.
The machinery is all new and really very
interesting to examine. The indicators,
switches, lightning arresters and various
other appliances for satisfact orily con-
Quoting the plant are wonderful inyen
tions. The quality Of light, both of the
arc and incandessent lamps is better.
Rapid advances have been made in cleo
trio engineering and the system embodies
all that is best.

A. Aamold. Although still a young
man, Herr. Aamold is pronounced by
critics an artist in the highest sense of

footsteps of his iIlustrious countryman
Ole Bull. He is said to possess wonder
tul command of the technique of his in.
strument and his tone is of unusual
sweetness. He will use his famous Guar
darious violin for which he has stand

what we have heard of the artist he
fairly worships this wonderful instru-
ment by means of which he Is enabled to
speak language that all can under
stand. Not to hear this violin virtuoso
is to miss the opportunity of life time.
