A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case. but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too tar gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment OF Drs. StarkeY
& Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
mowers. 1t has been successful IN
curing many cases Of catarrh' ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, AS the haiiie 'n0J
have given to this class OF disorders
indicates, but Compound oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
Jo wbaro or by Others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious

1t twas a very curious report, tina

Great Britain had become anxious
because she thought the United

we had been carrying so many years
entirely unaided by other nations.
Accordingly senlioflicial, wholly con

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from oar Regular Correspc ndent.]

From OktT Regular
Washington DC, Aug. %, 1893.
No surprise was felt by anybody
whcn ~, Honse passed the bill for
the unconditional repeal Of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman
law. So nearly all Of the members
had announced in advance how
they would vote that the result was
foregone conclusion days ago.
The man who accepts this action
of the House us an indication that
majority Of its members oppose
silver as money makes a mistake.
1t indicates nothing Of the kind.
On the contrary, an over whelming
majority Of the House favors bimet-
alism, as will be shown by future
legislation. These who voted for
repeal did SO because they agreed
with President Cleveland in believ-
ing that the purchas of silver bull
lion by the government was the
| main cause of the country's fnan-
cial troubles and that it ought to
be stopped, If for no other reason,
because the business sentiment Of
the country is SO strongly opposed
| to it.
Although the Wilson repeal bill
will now go to the Senate it is not
probable that it will be acted upon
because the Voorhees, repeal bill,
with the declaring Bimetalism to
be the policy of the United States,
| is already before the Senate, and is
more preferable TO the democratic
| leaders in the Senate. Although
the opponents Of unconditional re-
peal still MAINTAIN bold front in
the Senate, since the great speeches
Of Senators Voorhees, and Hill, last
week, both Of whom took strong
ground in favor of repeal, the SEN
timent in favor of repeal has been
steadily growing, and it is now the
general opioion that a majority Of
the Senate will vote for the repea
when the bill can be voted upon
but when that will be no man cal
safely predict, certainly not unit
after there shall have been one OF
the most memorable struggle in the
tannals Of the Senate, as the Sen
dtcrs from the silver-producine
States will make use of every known
plrlimenarY weapon to prevent 9
vote.
The new rules for the House are
decided improvement upon those
of the last session, although the
changes have been few. Although
few in number the changes are I'M
portant and were made with one
object in view-the lessening Of thu
power of fillibusterers to mischief
One Of the most far-reaching OF thu
changes is that which makes on
hundred quorum when the Hous'
is sitting as a committee Of thu
; whole and gives this committee
authority to limit debate, an author
1'ity which under the rules of tn
last Congress had to be obtained
! from the House, which could no
at without the presence Of a con
stitutional quorum.

Mr.. Labouchere's fish Story.


If Mr.. Henry Labouchere has a habit
of getting into trouble, he has also a hap
Ply knack Of getting out of it. For III
stance, the other day, after he had print
ed an important piece Of news about the
proper way to cook crawish and a hui
name reader of Truth expostulated with
him about his advice to the cook to cut
the live fish in halves, he retorted mer-
rily by expressing the opinion that it is
ridiculous sentiment to treat creatures
OF low o. rUdimentary organizations as
II they had tie same susceptibility to
pain as a human being, and settled the
question finally by telling an anecdote
about an angling friend of his who once
"caught a perch foul"
The hook pierced the fsh's eye. My friend
felt that he had not caught the perch accord
ing to the rules Of the game, SO, to compensate
him for losing his eye, he put him back into the
water. He then baited his hook with the eye
and went to work again. Within three min
utes he caught that same perch again with his
own eye.
This is a capital fish story. We have
not heard a better tale in a long while.
1t is a lie of course, but all fish stories
are, and 1t has the merits Of originality
and humor. We like Mr.. Labouchere
the better for such harmless fbs.--New
York Times.

Senator Dubois proposition to stop

re%sentation in the senate recalls the
time just after the close of the war when
the democrats objected to the organiza-

the election of a speaker on the ground
that some of the southern states were
still unrepresented in congress. The
democratic protest on that occasion went
for naught. The present protest of the
silver senator's, even if made in earnest,
has as little justification as the other.
