WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE
An Innocent Volume with this Title Crsa-

An Innocent Volume with this Title Crsa-
ties Some Merriment In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Dr. A. E Nc
Candless, of Pittsburg, played practical
joke on some of his friends in Congress
yesterday. Calling to him the chief page
of the senate he placed in his hand a
small volume and said: "Will you please
hand that to Senator Quay, with my COM
pliments."
The book was perfectly innocent in ap.
pearaEce, and was entitled ''What Con-
gress Has Done'' DIR. McCandless slip
ped over into one of the galleries and
watched Senator Quay receive the book.
Senator Quay opened the book, and as
he glanced from page to page his face
relaxed into a smile and as he went on
he broke into a hearty laugh. After few
moments he called page and told him
to take the book to Vice President Ste
venson.
Vice-Rresident Stevenson looked at the
cover, glanced through the book, and then
as Senator Quay had done, began to laugh
heartily He shook his finger at Senator
Quay, and, calling the boy back to him,
sent the book down to Senator PETER. The
gentleman from Kansas looked at the
book for an instant and then he laugh
ed quietly behind his beard. He pass
ed the book to Senator Hale, and SO it
went the whole round and was greeted
everywhere with hearty laugh.
Although the book had carefully
worded cover, the inside pages were
blank

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect Hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous

MASONIC FIRE ESCAPES.
Chief WiImarth Wants Them the Front
of the Temple.

of the Temple.
Chief Wilmarth reported to the city
council last night that he had ordered
the receivers of the Lombard Invest
ment company to put fire escapes on the
front of the Masonic building, and the
receivers have refused to do SO.
The city attorney was instructed to
take the necessary legal steps to have
Chief Wilmarth's orders respected. The
objections to the fire escapes are that they
will distigure the building. The rear
should be amply provided with them if
the front isn't. Special permission might
be granted to build an outside stairway
leading down to the alley.

NOTHING IN IT.

THERE is absolutely nothing in
the so-called Peoples party, as .
whole, to recommend it TO any in.
telligent voter. If there was, we
as an Independent and outspoken
journalist (although a Democrat
would not hesitate to say so If
there was anything better than
Democracy, we would at once EN-
brace it, as our political faith But
there being nothing equal to Dem
ocracy, we can not but remain in
this party, and try to remedy de-
fects therein, and oust the traitors,
who have damaged the party and
cause so greatly
AS we see it, there is but one
way in which to insure the carrying
out of all true Democratic princi-
pies, and that is for the South and
West to join hands and hearts in
National affairs. This would effect.

the country become much more
prosperous, under the new tariff

And our national law makers should
act speedily upon this measure.
