The Fly in Amber.

In one of the European museums
may be seen piece of amber in which
is deeply embedded a perfect fly. Now
neither the amber nor the fly are curios-
tiles but the curiosity consists in how
the fly got into the amber. An equally
wonderful curiosity may occasionally be
seen in country drug stores, in the shape
of huge drastic cathartic pills, put up
in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes.
The curiosity with these jokers' consists
in knowing who asks for them when it
is generally known that DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, sugar coated, and put
up in glass bottles, alway fresh and re.
liable, but little larger than mustard
seeds, are an efficient cathartic, regulate

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

FROM OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. D. c. September 3rd 1894.
Labor Day is for the first time being
observed as legal holiday, Congress
having at the late session passed a bill
making the first Monday in September
legalholiday and designating as Labor
Day. The parade was very creditable
one, consisting Of four divisions Of or
ganized laborl AS was entirely fitting,
Mr.. Willard Hobbs, who is the author
of the bill passed by Congress making
the day legal holiday. was chief mar
shall of the parade. The printers, book.
binders, electrical workers and several
other organizations had handsome floats,
mathematical Of their trades, in the
procession. All in all the debut Of la
Dor day as national holiday at the
National Capital was great success.
Treasury officials are having 20 end
of work and worry with the complica-
tioAs, some important, some trivial, but
all troublesome, which are constantly
arising in connection with the admin
istration of the new tariff law. One of
the most important complications is
that arising out Of the repeal Of the
sugar bounty. Last week Secretary
Carlisle decided that no more bounties
should be paid, and even ordered that
checks already made out for the pay
ment of bounties should be held, but it
is doubtful whether that decision will
stand, as strong pressure is being
brought to bear to get it changed so as
to allow the bounty to be paid upon all
sugar that had been made when the law
went into effect. Something like a
half.milion dollars ia involved in this
decision. 1t is expected that an
attempt will be made through the
courts to compel the payment of the
bounty on the entire crop Of this year.
The abrogatlon of the one reciprocity
agreement that with Spain, for Cuba
and Porto Rico that had been produc-

United States than was expected when
it was negotiated is one Of the results
of the first week of the new tariff law,
and State Department off Gals say they

had, or have reciprocity agreements

said chad" or "have, because. owing to
the wide differe nee OF opinion existing
among those who are supposed to be
learned in international law and diplo.
macy, l am not certain whether the
new tariff law swept away all reciprocity
treaties or not. But if the antlcipations
of the State Department officials be re-
allied all doubts will eoon be removed
by the action of the foreign countries.
The tariff on sugar was the cause Of this
Spanish retaliation, which it is feared
will result in the loss Of large and
profitable market tor American flour.
1t was predicted more than once before
the tariff bill passed the Senate that the
tariff on sugar would do much more
harm than the revenue thus brought in
would ever do good; but the sugar
trust wanted the tariff and it remained.
The congressman will have their cam.
paign for reelection without the assis-
lance Of judicionsly placed packages OF
agricultural department seeds, because
the delivery of seeds will not, owing to
hardness in getting the appropriation
for that department through Congress,
begin until some time after the Congress
sional elections. Secretary Morton is
not a believer in the indlscriminate dis.
tribution OF seeds. anyway, and had it
not been the will Of Congress no appro.
priation would haye been made this
year for that purpose.
do you know" said a Democratic
Congressman, "that l believe the stories
about President Cleveland desiring to
see the democrats lose control of the
House are based on the truth. l will
tell you why. Mr.. Cleveland fears the
passage of a bill for the free coinage Of
silver. That's one reason, and u good
one, but there is another equally potent
with Mr.. G. The tariff question was
only half settled by the bill which be-
came a law last week without the Presi-
dents signature, and there is little
probability that it will be any nearer
settled at the close of the short session
of Congress that will begin in December
Now, if the democrats lose control of the
House it is certain that there will be no
important tariff or river legislation by
the Fifty-Fourth Congress. Where
does that bring us! why, to the fresl-
dental campaign, with the tariff ques-
ton in a position to be once more made
a big factor therein, and Mr.. Cleveland
ready to inscribe free raw material upon
the banner which he believes will be
carried in the next campaign either by
himself or by a man whom he shall
name and who will represent all he
stands for. Think you not that's a
plausible way to account for many recent
happenings?' The gentleman whose
remarks are quoted is SO good friend
of Mr.. Cleveland that he is classed as
"cuckoo," and he spoke as though he
thought such position as he outlines
for Mr.. G. entirely credible.
