Mr.. Fred Miller of Irving, H., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble
for many years, with severe pains in
his back and aleo that his bladder was
affected. He tried many sl.called
kidney cures but without any good
result. About year ago he began
the use of Electric Bitters and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters Is es-

THEY HAVE DECIDED.

TIM Commission Have Reached an Opinion
in the Texsrkana and Fort Smith Case.
For several days past the railroad
commission has had under c0nsidera-
ton questions submitted to them by
General Attorney Hudgins of the
TeXarkaua and Fort Smith railroad.
rhesn questions were first on the bond
issue OF the road and the next on the
charter OF the road. In reference to
the bond issue the commission, after
mature consideration OF the matter,
yesterday said that they did rot deem
ii necossu4y TO the establishment Of
the validity f the bonds TO secure the
approval of the railroad commission.
That after a research into the matter
it was plainly evident the bonds of
the road in question had been issued
and the contract for the building of
the same was in process of execution
before the Texas bond law went into
effect, and hence the matters have no
relation one to The other.
In reference TO the question as to
whether the charter OF the road was
valid, extending as it does beyond the
state limits, the commission holds that
the question is not Que that they are
called upen to decide, inasmuch as
they have nothing to do with the is
suing or approval Of charters.
The commission is at present en-
gagged in considering the Texas Car
! Service association rules recently sub
r.itteh 20 them for approval. Also an
application OF the Rio Grands Railroad
company, running from Brownsville
to Point Isabella, requesting an au-
tborizaticn for the issuing OF bonds to
retire outstanding bonds ard also to
raise money with which to discharge
floating Indebtedness. No final action
has been taken by the commission in
either of the above named cases.

FUNERALS.
CONGRESS SIGNAL

We do not object to deceased mol
vldual being decently buried, even II
he ia a member OF congress, but we dc
enter protest in behalf of the tax
payers to the expensive funerals OF
members of congress. 1t would D0
much cheaper to cremate them. a
dispatch announcing the death OF
Congressman Houck Of Ohio, says:
"There will be special car for mem
bers OF congress and their families
and congressional delegates, attached
to the Pennsylvania train leaving
Washington this afternoon"
We have been aware of the fact
that these congressional funeral dele
cations had special cars, with baskets
of champagne and the most expensive
luxuries furnished by the government,
and we have known of these congress
slonal pail bearers being too drunk on
arriving at their destination to per.
form the duties of pail bearers and
mournere, but this is the fret time
we have known of a special car being
furnished for "memDt RS oil congress
and their families" to visit their
homes at the expense OF
the government We venture to as
sert that every family of every con-
gresham from Ohio will avail itself
of this free ride to Ohio and back
with al! the first class trimmings of
picnic, even those who did not know
he deceased congressman.
These congressional funerals rarely
cost the people of this country less
tran $4,000, and it 10 a most Infamous
outrage ON the submissive taxpayers
Il the country. a congressman ought
20 be decently buried and if his family
are not able to bury him the govern
meut ought to do 1t, just as 1t is under
obligations to bury any pauper. sup
pose that Joe Sayers or Kilgore or
Grain or PendletOn or any of the Texas
oongressme.l. were to "haud In their
chips" would 1t be fair on the tax pay
ers of the country to furnish special
Gar for all the congressman of Texas
and their families to come to Texas
on n junsetiug tour and return to
Washington in the same way at the
expense of the government? What
does a special Car mean? 1t means
that sleeper Is furnished with an at
tached dining car, fully supplied with
all the delicacies of the season, wines
lad libitum," servants, French cooks
and julep and cocktail artists galore
Everything in fact that can be OBJ
talned to make the trip delightful tC
the favored few, the servants of the
people, and their families. Con
gressional funerals are nothing more
nor less than absolute robbery of the
people, aud the congressman who
votes for these extraordinary appro
priatlons demanded by congressional
pail bearing committees are particeps
criminis in the Wholesale robbery OF
the hard working people of the coun.
try, and every one of them ought ia
be relegated to private life and made
to pony up taxes to pay the expense
of these funerals.

LABoUCHERE, the English Radical,
advises that Mr. Gladstone resign.
He says he has become so old that he
lives in the present and cannot throw
himself into matters of the future that
Is not likely To be solved in his time
What a narrow view this is OF the
wisdom of Mr.. GLADSTONE. There is
no question connected with English
politics with which Gladstone is not
familiar and TO which The wisdom of
age has ripened his consideration.
The idea that old men live in the
present is new one first promulgated
by Mr.. Lahouchere. The complaint
heretofore has been that old men live
too much in the past and are welded
TO old customs of thought. Mr.. Glad
stone has three views caught from the
experience of age. He appreciates
the presidents ofthe past AMI accepts
present conditions and upon past
events he projects his men.
tai conclusions into the future.
Mr., Labouchele may live to expe-
rieuce the benefits arising from the
wisdom of old age in counsel. Mr..
Gladstone's intellect is still clear and
vigorous, and II he chooses to exercise
1t for the benefit of oppressed Ireland
he will do it wi more force and effect
than any other English statesman.

No Irish Need Apply.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The fund
of the proposed statuette in Cen
trail park to Robert Emmett, the
Irish patriot, which was launched
a year ago, is very slim, and there

The trouble is due to the inter
national dissentions among various
Irish patriotic associations whose
members are expected by the pro-
jectors to contributed to the fund.
Mr.. Thomas Addiss Emmett, a

posed the fund at the start because

his epitaph be not written until
