LIE BANANA lNOlnPY

New York, Feb l5-Jessie Seligman
testified before the Panama canal investi-
eating committee today. Mr.. Seligman
frst became connected with the American
COMMITTEES in 1851. This connection re-
suited from the suggestion OF the Paris
house of the Seligmans, in behalf Of
Ferdinand de Lesseps, that Mr.. Selgman
should act as a mem Der of the committee
to protect the interests of the canal and to
secure the neutrality of the United States
in relation to ii. The salaries OF the conf
mittee began in March, 1881. The commit
tee was fully organized, with Richard W.
Thomson as chairman. Mr. Thompson
did not want to accept the position ti!l lie
had consulted President Hayes, but after
wards did So The place had been offered
by Mr.. SeliCman 10 General Grant, by
authority Of Count de Lesseps, al a salary
OF S25 600 for life. General Grant decliu-
ing, the committee suggested Mr.. Thomp-
son aud Count de Lssseps gladly appoint
ed him.
Mr. Seligmau admitted that he was
aware that the efforts to obtain subscrip-
tons ia Paris for the Panama canal in
1879 had failed, because Of an apprehension
IN France that the United states WAS
hostile and would put ia force the Monroe
doctrine. He admitted that he committee

THE RESULT OF MERIT.

When anything stands a test of fifty
years among a discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit Somewhere. The value
Of medicine is best proved by its continued
use from year to year by the same persons
and families, rs well as bya steady increas-
ing sale. Few, If any, medicines have
met with such continued success and
popularity as has marked the intro
ductlon ana progress of BRANDETH's
PILLS, which, after trial of over fifty
years, are conceded to be the safest aud
most effective purgative and blood purifier
introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDRDTH'S PILLS actually perform all
that is Claimed for them, is cOnclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them longest.
BRANDRETH'S s PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.

I
ToPEKA, Kan, Feb. 15-The Republican
lsou,e has issued the following address:
10 The I4ar-Abiding Citizens of Kansas:
An organized conspiracy TO subvert
the constitution and laws OF this state and
to overawe the lawful house of representa-
iivss is at this moment in full operation
RI the capital of the state. The lawful
authority OF the house OF repre-
sentatives was yesterday openly and
fagrantly defied by an assault upon the Of
GceIs of the house in the discharge of their
duty. The assault took place in the pres
ence of the governor and was led by j. T..
Willis, J. W. Briedenthal and other law
lessly disposed persons.
This morning when the house OF repre-
sentatives was about to meet its members
were confronted at the foot of the stairway
leading to the house by a force armed
with rifles under command of the adjutant
general OF the state. The members of the
house of representatives after severe
struggle forced their way to the entrance
Of the hall, and, after battering down the
door, which WAS barred against them, en-
tered the hall of the house and proceeded
10 business. At this writing they are still
there, but are hourly threatened with
conflict with the forces of anarchy and
revolution, who openly proclaim their
determination in advance TO disregard any
Judgment of the courts contrary to their
Bwu wishes, and to continue in defiance of
the constitution and laws. The members
Bf the house of representatives have earn
estly sought to bring the questions in
vOlved TO an issue in the courts, only to be
met with open proclamations of disre-
pect for and defiance to the courts,
The cause of constitutional government
is at stake and il becomes every law-abid-
ing citizen to take his stand in behalf of
the principles of free government. In this
condition Of affairs l deem it proper TO
HppriSe you that your Representatives need
"a this moment your moral aid ana active
support
GEORGE L. DOUGLASS, Speaker"

DECIDEDLY SHAKY,

A trembling hand, an uncertain step,
fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another,
usually mental annoyance at unexpected
noises, are among the indications of ex-
treme nervousness. These seem trifng,
but the health of men and women in this
condition is decidedly shaky," liable to
be overthrown disastrou~ly by causes
which the vigorous might defy. To fortify
the nervous system, general yigor must.
through the medium of reinforced
digestion, and a renewal of an impaired
power of sleeping at night, be raised to a
healthful standard. A guarantee Of this is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which re-es-
tablishes digestion, bile secretion and the
habit of body on a permanently regular
basis, thus renewing that bodily eqnilib-
rum, which is followed bv gain Of
strength and nerve tranquility. For kid
ney complaint, rheumatism, neuralgia,
and as preventive of the first attack or
subsequent return of malarial disorders,
this medicine is without a peer. Thrice
daily take wineglassful.
