Yeteven the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Diseasst But" you reply, con-
fdently, II haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware Of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
flutterlng or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart is affected.
al had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could

mixed and composite in its origin to favor
its growth. Had the Pacific coast been

SUSPENSION OF SILVER PCE-
CHASES.

The best business brain in the Repub-
lican party, John Sherman. and the best
business brain in the Democratic party,
John G. Carlisle, are both in favor of the
repeal and the suspension Of the present
silver act of July Ii. 1890. This act orig
inally contained Secretary WINDOWS pro-
vision authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to suspend silver purchases when
ever in his judgment the interest of the
country required it. IF this provision had
been retained the act could have been
robbed of its power for mischief at the
discretion OF the secretary of the treasury.
The act as it stands, by its steady and
large additions to the currency. is swell
ing its volume to point of dangerous in
fation. 1t has utterly failed TO stiffen the
price OF silver; the volume OF the cur
renew is large enough for all present
needs, and further paper imitation should
cease by the suppression of the purchase
OF silver bullion.
1t is possible that the suspension Of the
purchase OF silver bullion may be ordered
by the senate. In the house a majority OF

step, but it is hardly probable that enough
Democrats will vote for the suspension
act 20 ensure its passage by the house.
The truth is the Democratic party, South
and West. is for tree silver coinage. Ev-
cry Western state which was carried by
the Democratic party in November was
won under an open alliance with the free
"a - r. -
orado. true of Oregon; and in every state
west of the Mississippi the Democratic
partv dec AIRED for free silver coinage and
fused with the party which demanded free
silver" All the Democratic convcn-
tons of the South declared for free
siiver.n The only states OF the South in
which Democratic conventions have ever
declared in favor Of any restriction on the
unlimited Issue Of silver were Kentucky
and Virginia. The Democratic party has
supported free silver coinage and more pa
rer money for wears at the South and
We-;. and ;his was its platform in an
oyerN huiains majority Of the states it
carried III November. These Southern

peal the act Of .IUiy. 1880 If they can re-

In the meantime. until We do suspend
she purchase OF silver bullion. we need
tot expect any international agreement
concerning silver. We can not get An
international agreement concerning silver

SEATTLE, SATURDAY. JAN. If.
THE PROHIBITION OF IMMIGEA-
TIOE.

It is clear at this early date that Senator
Chandler's bill prohibiting immigration
has no chance of passing the present con-
gress. The West and the South are OPP
posed to such legislation. The West wants
immigration TO fill up its waste places and
make its wilderness blossom like the rose,
and it insists that the undesirable immi-
grants can be kept out and the desirable
ones let in. This is just what Senator
Chandler and the prohibitionists deny;
they claim that it is impossible to keep
this country from being flooded by horde
OF undesirable foreigners. except by
total exclusion or prohibition act. Ac-
cordng to the present outlook there is
rot the slightest prospect that Senator
Chambers bill will become law.
Nothing short of a tremendous cholera
panic would be sufficient to enact the
Chandler prohibition bill. The labor
classes are not heartily in favor of it: the
Democratic party will be sure to oppose it.
You might as we'll expect an officer re-
cruiting for the regular army to urge the
total exclusion of foreign immigration as
to expect the Democratic party to favor it.
II is the ceaseless and increasing stream of
foreign immigration that keeps the ranks
of the Democratic party in our great cities
full to overlooking. Nothing but vigor-
Gus demand from the labor vote of this
country, both native and of foreign ante
cedents, would induce the Democratic party
to restrict foreign immigration. That de-
mand has not been made and is not likely
to be made, so we may as we'll make up
our minds TO thu defeat of any really eff
Gent restriction of foreign immigration.
The Democratic party is against it and the
Democratic party will control congress and
its legislation for the next four years.

OF course II doesn't require as many votes to
select a senatorial candidate in caucus as 20
elect one in the Legislature. But is that q
sufficient reason why the caucus should be
destroyed? The caucus IS the proper conyen-
ton of electors; and in this case the Repub-
licans, being in the majority in the legislature,
are the electors. The caucus has two purposes:
To satisfy the decision OF the people expressed
a; the polls: the other TO preserve harmony n
marty organization. First OF all, they have
elected large majority Of Republicans
members, whose duty it shall be TO
elect e United States senator. Il IS the
invariable custom. where there Is prcponder-
atiug majority, as in this case, 10 proceed TO
transaction of this business at the beginning OF
the session by determining in caucus who Is the
choice of the majority. Thus the party is en-
ablet TO 60 from the caucus into the joint as
sembly with a candidate over whom no division
can arise. But it IS evident that Turner and
his friends are not counting on the Republican
party. Rather are they figuring on defeating
