Don't starve yourself if you have dys-
pepsia, indigestion. or a weak stomach,
as you cannot build up the system on a
low diet, but eat generously, then take
one of DR.. Deane's Dyspepsia Pills I'M
mediately after meals until cured.
These pills cause the flow Of bile and
pancreatic fluid to occur as the food
leayes the stomach-natures method ;
and it is to observe natural laws, for in
this way only can we expect perfect
cures. DR.. E. R. Mackey, one Of New
York's most celebrated physicians. and
hundreds of other noted physicians,
vouch for the pills. Sold in two sizes,

front for the purpose Of saving the life
of this ,niquity.' When the vote Of
Senator Quay saved the amendment
while the Senate was considering the
tariff bill the statement was made that
other Senators would haye helped the
trust had their help been necessary.
That statement is now reiterated and
made to apply to the last escape of the
trust by reason Of Senator Stewards not
voting.
The administration doesn't like the
bill providing for the inspection of inn
migrants by U. S. Consuls, which Was
put through the House by the smart
parliamentary tactics of Its author, Rep.
Stone, of Pa, and which is now before
the Senate committee on immigration.
The opposition of the administration
was voiced by commissioner Of lmmi-
grafton Stump, who, in an argument
before the committee, SAID that if the
bill became law it would stop lmmi-
grafton entirely. The chairman of the
House committee on immigration and
an attorney representing the steamship
companies also made arguments against
the bill. No action has yet been taken
on the bill by the Senate committee.
Representative Springer of ILL.,. Is
happy. One of the numerous bills he
has introduced is to be fayorably repor.
ted to the House, with excellent pros
poets of eventually becoming a law
that providing for the establishment of
national board of arbitration, IN ac-
cordance with recommendations made
by President Cleyeland in 1887.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, U. s. Com
missioner Of Labor, presided oyer the
preliminary meeting of the strike COM
mission, which is to inyest;gate-not
arbitrate-the causes of the recent rail-
road strike, for the information of the
executive and legislative branch OF the
government. The commission has not
mapped out its programme, but will do
so at once, as President Cleyeland has
told Mr.. Wright that he wishes the
commission to complete its work at the
earliest possible moment. Mr.. Wright's
associates on the commlssion-Messrs
Herman of N. Y, and Worthington, of
Ill.,-are not extensively known in Con-
gress. but the impression they have so
far made is entirely con6rmatory OF the
good things said of them by those who
did know them. There seems to
be probability, daily growing stronger
that the House will not order a separate
Investigation Of the strikes, the excuse
being shat confusion might result by
reason Of clashmg with the Presidential
appointed Investigators.
The question Of adjournment depends
entirely upon the disposition Of the
tariff bill.

WASHINGTON Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CoRPEsPONDENT
WASHINGTON. d. c.. July 30th, 1894.
The Key to the tariff deadlock has
not yet bet been found. but there is
little doubt that it vii, be during the
present week, if not by the conference
committee, then by the democrats of the
House, who have about decided to hold
a causus to settle the matter, If the con-
ference committee fails to reach an
agreement by Tuesday, Few people in
Washington now haye any doubt that
the result will be the Senate bill cub
stantiallyas it stands although there will
doubtless be numerous unimportant
changes SO that members of the House
can say both sides made concessions to
reach an agreement. The democratic
conferees have been holding almost
continuous informal sessions eince the
Senate by tie vote declined to instruct
it's conferees to recede from the amend.
ment placing diiIerential duty Of one
eighth of cent a pound upon refined
sugar. but the first formal meeting Of
the conference committee was not held
until today.
There Is reason to believe that the
democrats of the House would have
been able to secure much more substan-
tial concessions if President Cleveland
had rot written that letter to chairman
Wilson, or at least, if Mr.. Wilson had
not made it public. There are few
democratic Senators who have not been
nnrslng some disappointment at the
hands OF President Cleyeland conse-
quently when he made 1t point in that
letter that the bill should put coal and
iron ore on the free list many of the
democratic Senators who personally
favor free iron and coal, and would un-
der ordinary circumstances haye been
only too glad to vote for them, determin-
cd to take advantage of the opportunity
to "get even by joining hands with the
Gorman-Briee combination to prevent
changes In those schedules of the bill.
Senator Manderson's remarks on the
power Of the sugar trust in the Senate
were straight shots at the bull's eye and
some of his colleagues who voted in
favor of the trust when a notion was
made to strike out the difefential duty
ON refined sugar may hear from them
again. He said among other things:

If Still Alive.

"Do you ratify mistakes here ?'asked
a gentleman, as he stepped into drug
store. ''Yes sir, we do, if the patient is
still aliye," replied the urbane clerk.
Never was druggist called upon to
answer such a question, after selling a
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Do not be hopeless although
you are thin and pale. In spite of a
dry hacking cough, night sweats and
slight splitting of blood, you need not
fill a consumptive's grave. Take the
"Discovery' and you soon be rid of the
troubles which harass you. But do not
delay. Delay may mean deathand that
mistake you cannot rectify. Sold under
positive guarantee of cure if taken in
tlme--or money returned.

Wonderful cures by DIR Miles NervIne.

ATTENTION is called to the fact that
prostitutes have b me quite numerous
on our streets of late, although none of
the borough authorities seem to be cog
infant Of it. They parade the streets
boldly and defiantly and have become so
numerous that respectable young people
are placed in the position they were some
time ago-take the alternative of remain
ing at home and forego an innocent even
ing walk, or run the gauntlet of those who
have learned that the streets are full of
prostitutes. 1t is supposed that many of
the latter class are part of those who
were recently driven out of Pottsville.
The authorities should be on the alert
and allow no occasion demanding their
attention to slip by.

effect such connection will have upon
the town supply, This is no time for the
Council to indulge in sentiment Over
eighty thousand dollars of the peoples
money has thus far been expended and it
would be suicidal TO allow such an invest.
ment to remain white elephant for any
length of time. If Council has the right
to go ahead and complete the works re-
gardless of the cost fixed when the special
election was held, let it do so and do it
quickly; aud if it is necessary to hold an
other special election to raise more funds
let the statements and estimates required
be prepared without delay and placed
before the people, so that they may have
an early opportunity to do their share
towards completing the work. The con-
fidence Of the public is wavering and only
determined action by Council in either Of
the directions suggested can steady it.
