Senator Manderson offered an amend
ment to the general deficisncy appro-
priation bill, providing that the wives
and daughters of Senators and Repre-
sentatives should net be borne on the
rolls as clerks, but tine Senate promptly
laid it or the table, and the wives and
daughters of certain Senators and
Representatives will continue to draw
500 month for work which, with
rare exceptions, they do, not perform,
and people elsewhere will continue to
wonder whysit is so difficult ito get a
Washinton jury to convict those who
rob the government. Senator Man
derson's amendment should have be-
come law, and its provisions should
have extended to cover to sons as we'll
as the wives and daughters also news
paper correspondents, and to embrace
allsgovernment employment.
Senator Morgan wasn't mealy-
rnouthed about the reported intention
of the British government to pay the
damages allowed by Secretary Gresham
to Canadian sealers in Bering Sea. He
said in speech in the Senate: "Sir
George Baden-Powell says that they
want to pay the Canadians and the
recalcitrant and rascally Americans
who hired themselves out under the
British flag to rob the government of
the U. S., violate its law, and dishonor
the country-and to pay them in ad-
vance, so as TO have moral claim
against:rhe U. S. for this s425, 900, not
one shilling of which is due-not
shilling. I propose that the committee
on Foreign Relations shall investigate
that matter. There has beeu enough
of falsehood and Misrepresentation
about this in official documents and in
the newspapers to require, for the vim
dication of the honor of the country,
that this investigation shall be made"
Mr.. Morgan was one of the Bering Sea
arbitrators, and knows this subject
thoroughly.
The silver programe, which was to
commit the Democratic party to free
coinage at ratio of to / sizzled out
without making as much blaze as q
parlor match would have done. The
scheme had its origin in the fertile
brain of Mr.. Bland, of Mo-, who to-
day retired to private life, involun-
tarily, after long career as member
of the House. Mr.. Bland very shrewd-
ly allowed Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska,
another gentleman who was dropped
from Uncle Sans party roll to-day, to
take the management of the affair and
to circulate the manifesto which was
intended to force Mr.. Cleveland and
the::othsr "gold bugs" out of the
Democratic party as soon as it had
been signed by nine-tenths of the
Democrats in Congress. The mani
festo might have had that effect had all
the expected signers materialized, but
they didn't. In fact, so few Demo-
Gratis signed the manifesto that none
of the signers' names were made
public with the manifesto. The other
scheme, fathered by those members Of
the Bi-Metallic League with Demo-
cratic proclivities, to start a silver
party and put up at once Presiden-
tial ticket, is still in the incubator with
the chances against its being hatched
out in healthy condition.

Mr. Addicks has been losing rather

IT MAKES PEOPLE WELL!
Paine's Celery Compound is as
Superior to the Ordinary
Spring Medicine as the
Diamond is Better
than Cheap
Glass.

When women become invalids,
homes, children, friends, all must suf-
fer.
With an impaired nervous system
pure blood is impossible; health is
impossible.
Why not be well?
Women and men all over the coun-
try whose strength and vitality have
been brought down during the win
ter months are now taking Paine's
celery compound, because their ply.
scans order it, or because they have
learned from other equally trust
worthy sources its untailing power
of building up the strength, re.invig
Grating the nerves, purifying the
blood and making people well.
Pane's celery compound continues
week after week and year after year
to cure the most difficult cases OF
nervous weakness, and to renew the
health OF countless ailing, despond-
ing women.
Pane's celery compound is relied
on with implicit confidence by thous
ands OF diligent wage earners, who
must keep up their strength at this
trying season.
But when labor is excessive, pro-
trdcted or done under great mental
and bodily strain, as is usually the
case with the the work women are
called to do, the health of the nerves
should be carefully watched over,
and the small beginnings OF nervous
weakness Immediately checked by
the use of Paine's celery compound.
The smallest as well as the largest
cities are iull of brave women who
might lead dependent lives, but pre-
fer to work. They keep well and
and equal to their duties by prompt
recourse to this genuine nerve regu-
lator and blood renewer, Paine's Gel
cry compound, whenever they feel
overworked, run down and in dan
ger of serious illness. This great
spring remedy today enables count
less men and women to keep steadily
at work with strong, well.ted nerves
and healthy, richly-nourished blood
and tissues.
Every woman, if she is run
down." in poor health, fretiul, or
weak, if her blood is in poor condi-
ton, her nerves unstrung ,-every
such woman should heed such testi-
monials as this from Miss Edith X.
Meek of Fall River, Mass:
II was advised by friend to try
Paine's celery compound" says Miss
Meek. las | was all run down from
a long season OF hard work and
travel. Nothing that | have ever

For that tired, irritable condition
resulting from an over-taXed nervou,
system, there is nothing equal to it.
Take Paine's celery compound
now.
