HILL FAVORSaCHANGES.
Business Would Be Expedited
With New Senate Rules.

washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hill,
of New York, today made speech in
the senate favorlng changes in the
rules of the senate SO as to expedite
business He said:
1.-THE sentiment of the country, MAN
ifested through the present roSstrum,
and THE other avenue by which public
opinion is usually communicated, seems
to desire the adoption of some new
methods of procedure here whereby
necessary Legislation mSy be Facilitated
sessions of congress Incidentally short
ened, and the best interests Of the coun-
try so interviewer with, or largely af-
feuted by congressional action, may be
more seriously preserved in their nor
NAL condition.
81 assert that the privilege of unilmdt-
ed debate in "a Legislative body is incon-
sfstent with and destructive of the right
and power of legislation. Such con-
dNion of affairs naturally forces com
promises and concessions of doubtful
proprfety, as a condition of any legisla-
tion before permitted. 1t is certain as
any thing i'm political affairs can be, II
our Republican friends obtain control
of ithis body, and desire to enact inn
poI,tant legislation to carry out their
principles, they will boldly amend the
rules to enable them to do it prompt,
ly."
The senator also argued in favor OF
counting "a quorum, and closed by de-
claring that no silly cry of gag law
should prevent the amendment ITO the
rules.

washington. Dec. 1s.-One Of the first
acts Of the senate today was to pass
the appropriation of 100000 for public

Dolph, in reporting adversely on the
general land grant forfeiture BILL ex-
pressed the belief that congress had
not the power 30 forfeit these lands,
but that the Ifghk to them was vested
in the railroads. Even II congress had
the power to forfeit them, 1t would be
unjust and inequitable to the radlroad

The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1894-06-29

Our government has been asked to unite
with the government of Italy in an attempt To
suppress immigration from the latter country
under the padrOne system, and incidentally to
strike blow at the system itself. Senator
Chandler, after consultation with Baron Fava,
the Italian minister, has introduced resou-
ton requiring the secretary of the treasury to
make a thorough investigation and report as
completely as possible how generally immi-
grant labOrers from Italy and other countries
fall into the hands of agents or brokers, or
padrones, who farm out their labor to con-
tractors and other employers. The report is
to further declare whether the treasury de-
partment has sufficient funds at its disposal
or is well equipped for the suppression of
such system and the enforcement of the laws
against importing contract labor. Baron
Fava wants special inspectors appointed
The house committee on banking and cur
rency has reported favOrably the bill proyid-
ing for the taxation of greenbacks the same as

The A. p. A. agitators who seem intent
upon the establishment of another .'Native
American" party, might find it profitable to
recall that similar organization was
launched i'm New York with headquarters at
Syracuse, i'm 1874; that il held a National con-
vention in Pittsburgh i'm 1875, and nominated
candidates for the presidency in 1876, 1880,
1884 and 1888. James b. Walker was the
Native American candidate in 1876. and he
received $50 votes in the United States. The
presidential candidate of the Native Ameri-
ceived 10I votes. In 1884 $. C. Pomeroy was
nominated. but he Withdrew before the

In Private Practice.

Such strong proofs of the marvellous
cures made by Dr. David Kennedy's Favor
lite Remedy have been brought to public
notice lately, through the various newspaper
investigations, that it has become now the
standard medicine for the diseases for which
it is prepared.
DR.. G. H. Ingraham, of Amsterdam, n
Y. states, where the regular prescriptions
used in Il case of kidney disease and grave
utterly failed, he prescribed DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy, and it cured the patient.
DR.. VIM. Smith, of Jewett's Heights
N. Y, prescribed Favorite Remedy for
Mrs. Casper Brooks, of Athens, N. ". who
was suffering from kidney disease, ulcera-
ton of the stomach, complicated with
sickness peculiar to her sex; after the
second day, steady improvement was noted,
and final permanent recovery.
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy acts
directly upon the kidneys, liver and blood,
in cases of nervousness, dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism and Bright's disease; it has made most
pronounced cures, after all other treatments
have failed. Druggists sell it.
