The prospect of relief from drastic ea- thartics for persons troubled with consti. patton is poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels, but this they do with violence, and their operation tends to weaken the intestines and is prejudiclal to the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is an effeclua laxative, but it neither gripes nor en- feebles. Furthermore, it promotes diges- ton ard regular action of the liver and the kidneys. It is an efficient barrier against and remedy for malaral complaints and rheumatism, and is of great benefit to the weak, nervous and aged. AS @ medic inal stimulant it cannot be surpassed. Physicians cordially recommend it, and it's professional indorsement is fully borne out by popular experience. Appetite and sleep are both improved by this agreeable invigorant and alterative.-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-United States Minister Runyon at Berlin states that bill has been introduced in the German reichs- tag to reduce the duty on imported cotton seed oil from marks to 3h marks, but this reduction of duty is to be accom- panied by provision that will make the importation of the oil impossible. The amount of cotton seed oil imported from the United States for the ten months end ing October 21, 1894, was 440, 80 gallons, of the value of S592, Ais. As this oil comes into competition with the domestic mate- rials from which the Germans make oleo- margarine and cheese the German govern ment has decided that imported cotton seed oil must have added to 1t some chemical compound in the presence of German customs officer, which, without changing it's character, will render it unfit to be used in the manufacture of any article intended for human consum pLion.

MAYBE MONDAY.
 NEW YoRK, Jan. 29.-The continued heavy withdrawals of gold have caused the general belief that bond issue will have 10 come very shortly unless congress takes quick action on the proposition of the president for an issue of 3 per cent gold bonds. It was expected that the issue would be made this week, but the presi- dent decided to make one last appeal to congress for per cent gold bond before sacrificing the credit of the government by the sale of 4 or per cent gold bonds.
 If congress does not accomplish anything this week iu the direction of the presi dent's gold bond scheme it is understood that S1o0, ,O00, ,000 per cent bonds will be issued next Monday, or at all events before the close of the week. If the scheme should be killed this week the issue may come be- fore next Monday.
 Notwiths nding the denials of August Belmont, it is believed that he will be at the head of syndicate of foreign bankers which will buy huge block of the bonds. 1t is apparent that large portion of the issue must be placed abroad if the treasury sis to make any permanent gain in gold and in no other way can an effectual halt be put upon the gold export movement.
 The withdrawal of S100, COG, ,0OO from cir culatiou will also cause an active money market, and in this way add to the check upon gold shipments.

lT is policy in some cities to tax heavily unimproved property and let off lightly improved property. This encourages a property holder to make improvem ents, which rebound to the good of the town. It also discourages men from buying vacant lots and letting them lie idle until they are enhanced in value by surrounding im- provements.

THE ADMINISTRATION BILL Offered by Springer, With Some
 Few Amendments, MAY PASS BOTH HOUSES Committee on Banking and Currency Tackle the
 Problem.
MAY PASS BOTH HOUSES

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 29.-''It now looks," said Mir. Walker of Massach usetts, ''as though the administration banking bill introduced by Mr. Springer yesterday may be amended so as to make it accepta- ble to the business interests of the coun- try.'
 Appearances indicate that the bill will be reported from the committee in such |, shape,' - said Mir. Russell of Connecticut, ''that it will receive the support of nearly all the republicans in the house.''
 Both entlemen are members of the com- mittee on banking and currency, to whom the bill was referred, and the foregoing declarations were made by them when the committee adjourned at clock, after be- ing in session since 10 o'clock this morn- ing. The amendments of the committee were these:
 Permitting the bonds to be redeemed after ten years, at the pleasure of the gov ernment; reducing the tax on national bank notes from per cent to A of 1 per cent per annum; striking out section 5, which provides that customs duties shall be paid in gold.
 Another amendment, providing that the bonds shall be paid in coin instead of gold, was lost.
 Two other amendments were offered and debated at some length without any final conclusion being reached. One was of fered by MT. Russell of Connecticut. It provides that the amount of treasury notes cancelled lin any one month shall be offset by corresponding issue of national bank notes. This amendment was carried and then reconsidered.
 Another amendment offered by MT. Walker provides that the reserve to be held by the banks shall consist of one-half in gold coin or gold certificates and the other half in silver coin and silver certificates. The discussion upon this proposition was purely an economic one, and 1t turned upon the principle whether the forcing of the banks to procure gold would not create greater demand upon the treasury than now exists. MT. WalkT met these objections with the argume z that it would put the banks in a more sHvent condition by requiring them to keep specie on hand.
 These latter amendments Wll be consid- cred tomorrow, and the oi, ations this evening are that the ttdep >pded, will row evening. The da placea hot fol- low party lines, and it 'f<cb none of the several votes taken 'wef5W1th the rec ommendation as strict party votes.

MIR. BRAZIER said at the cotton mill meeting that he had been writing and talk ing up cotton mills in the South for the last sixty years. To rob his statement of the charge of exaggeration it may be added that he is over 80 years old. He said that he aided in starting mill in a town in North Carolina. He found a valuable as- sistant in the preacher of the town, who preached a sermon in favor of the mill, saying that it would prove a means of grace and measure of benevolence. There is a good suggestion just here. mill will give employment to many idle people, and give them other employment than that which the devil always finds for Idle hands to do. If the ministers of the city would remem- Der to mention the cotton mill in their pas- toral visits it would be great assistance in the building of the mill.
