THE DEAD LOOK In THE SENATE.
The astonishing situation now exist

The astonishing situation now exist
ing in the U. S. Senate certainly would
be ridiculous were it not dangerous,
The rules governing that high legis-
lative body, based upon traditions and
precedents, backed by that legisa-
tive absurdity known as senatorial
courtesy" render it impossible for a
majority, even If the majority be over
whelming, to control the proceedings OF
the chamber, or, in point OF fact, to do
anything at all. So long as there may
be any member on the floor who desires
to talk, or to recI5, the Senate cannot
proceed to a vote on the question
which may be under "debate."
If only two of the eighty eight men,
bers were to agree to alternate in talk
ing and reading each day, each
relieving the other, they could bring
the particular legislation before the
Senate to an indefinite standstill'
When there are twenty or thirty
members each prepared to relieve the
other in an agreement to talk against
time, there is no method under the
present rules by which they may be
prevented from absolutely blocking
legislation with perfect ease.
This is row the attitude Of the
minority CT the Senate toward the
Voorhees, Silver Repeal bill. They
have brought about a deadlock, and
that bill cannot be passed until the
deadlock has been broken by radical
! denarture on the part of the majority

count in life. 1t is the little
colds that count. 1t is sending
the children to bed with wet
feet that brings on the Group
1t is catching a little cold and
neglecting it that brings disease
and sickness. 1t is catching
sore throat and then going
about unprotected that ends in
dyphtherla and death. Watch
these little sources. 1t does
not take much time, but it is the
little safeguards that count in
the battle of life. When you
get a sore throat or cod take
Reid's German Cough and Kid
ney Cure. 1t is the best thing
in the world for every form of
disease that arises from a cold.
Statistics show that nine-Ienths
Of the entire human race perish

therefore. that if you will avoid
taking cold your chances for
