n Political Farce.

The meeting of the republican

field yesterday proved simply farce
it was n love feast on the part OF
Chairman Tanner with the FREEDOM
mating force in the Legislature,
whose object was to bring about an
early adjournment in the interest
purely Of the republican party. The
thought of boodle did not enter into
the discussion, much as has been
said of the purpose of Chairman Tan

was not in any sense ~ part Of the
object OF the meeting the aim solely
and entirely was to bring the present
legis ature to state Of dissolution
as speedily rs possible and get it and

The Chicago Tribune in its SPRING

pressed the situation as it is. from a
republican standpoint, to the letter.

Chicago Post.
A word to all honest legislators:
DO not adjourn the general assembly
of Illinois without appointing com
mittee to investigate the charges of
bribery that are made and daily reit-
Grated by the honest press of the
state.
The legislature should not lie I'M
der these sweeping charges. The
reputation of individual members is
as nothing compared with that of
the body as whole. The duty of
the assembly is to clear its name of
general suspicion by localizing the
guilt. Every honest legislator, ire
spestive of party, should support
Col. Merriam's proposal. Side is
sues must blind none to the real is
sues - the question of legislative
honor.
Again we repeat the evidence is
ready for the committee. 1t is aceu
mulating daily. Last night the pro-
prietor Of the largest independent
distillery in the state confirmed the
statement that certain members OF
the legislature had attempted to Sc
cure money from the Peoria and Pc
kin distillers. He promises to make
an "interesting statement" at the
right time.
Will honest members of the assem-
bly, appoint the Investigating COM
mittee and give him this opportu.

Good Times Have Come,

A dispatch to the New York World
from Pittsburg says: Pittsburg's
big iron and steel producing plants
are unable to meet the demand. The
orders for biilets are so great that
during the past week the local buy
ers were compelled to go to Phila-
delphia for their supply. There are
more men at work in the iron, steel
and tin trades than at any time prior
to the panic of 1898. Wages are be-
ing advanced aud the employees
rejoice in the prospect of steady
work until next spring at least.
During the past week two mills that
have been idle since before the panic
were leased and will be put into
operation. Billet prices, upon which
the steel business is based, are
within half dollar Of the figure Of
three years ago-s2l.5O' per ton at
the mills. The rate on which the
high wage scale which caused the
Homestead strike was based was S22.
The settlement OF old contracts at
lower prices during the week helped
to swell the clearances OF the Pitts
burg banks during the six days to
nearly $15.0?O,0GO. Carnegie's Brad
dock mills arc turning out over
$50, 0rO worth of stuff daily. For the
first time in many years Pittsburg
mills are being run through the hot
summer season instead of closing for
repairs. The manufacturers say they
cannot afford to stop. Labor is
scarce for indoor work around the
furnaces.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the ''KING OF
LIVER MEDICINEs?" Everybody needs
take Il liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that inpairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That duh, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Bilipusness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion arc all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
u,etor and you'll get rid of these trou-
b,es, and give tone to the whole sys-
ten. For laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

will be no extra session. But even when
the next Congress convenes in December
they will be just as reluctant to go, and,
moreover, they will be all the less able &c
secure employment.
The report that the President is once
more suffering from ill-health has gone
abroad again. This report will doubtless
be repeated with more or less frequency
after the adjournment of Congress and
news at the national capital is scarce. But
whatever the condition of the President
will be after the adjournment OF Con.
gress, il can. and should. be said positive
ly now that it has never been better dur
ing the present administration. The Pres.
idert is naturally Il man of action. III
likes work. He thriyes on worry. His
step is light and his govt has disappeared.
His checks are ruddy. his eye clear and
his hand-ciaSp firm. He seems well. eats
well, works we'll. He sees everybody
who calls on him on public business, and
his information shows that he keeps in
touch with pretty much all that is going
on. The President may not live fifty
years longer, but n great many who are
now predicting his death will leave him on
earth firm, vigorous man of affairs when
they are climbing the golden stairs.
A strong effort is being made by the
friends of General Casey, Chief Engineer
of the army. to have him placed in charge
of the construction of the new Chicago
post Office building. 1t is to be hoped that
their efforts viii fail. No one doubts the
engineering ability of General Casey. But
the long time it has taken him to build
the Congressional Library is monument
10 his lack of energy, and should be
warning TO all who hope for the erection
OF the Chicago building in Chicago time.
General Casey will soon retire from the
army on account of the age limit. He
viii retire nj 4 good salary, but he would
Ike the fat berth of experimenting the
construction Of so large 4 building as the
new post Office in Chicago is TO be, and
like especially the comfortable stipend he
would receive for such superintendent.
The General. as an army officer, has been
brought UP in that life, and Il man who
goes to him for information, in the event
of his succeeding in his earnest wish to
be placed in charge of the Chicago build
ing. or who ventures TO make sugges-
ton, would do well, if he seeks to pre-
serve his self-respect, to take Il club along
with him. Chairman Savers. chairman OF
the House Appropriation Committee, is
particularly DESTROYS of having General
Casey placed in charge of the Chicago
building. Apropos is the fact that Mr..
Sayers IS very DESTROYS Of so prolonGing
the building of the new post Office as to
spread the necessary appropriations over
Il long series of years. If General Casey
should he appointed Chairman Sayers will

Size cf Seed Wheat Kernels.


Mr.. +. ID. C0burn, secretary of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture, in
advising the farmers of his State about
sowing wheat, says:
.'As the subject of how much to SOW
per acre is one of no small Importance,
permit me to call attention to the wide
difference in the quantity of actual
seed there may be in bushels Of differ
ent wheat, resulting from the size Of
the grains, even when of the same Va
riety. 1t has been noted at the Iowa
experiment station that one bushel of
a variety grown in California contain
ed only 4S9,S79 grains, while n bushel
of Turkey Red from Iowa had 1,1Si,693
grains, or about 21a times as many.
Other bushels of the same variety, one
from Iowa and one grown in Kansas,
had upwards of 100000 grains each.
The average of all the samples tested at
the station was 1IO,200 grains per
bushel. The point l wish to make is
that while two men may be agreed that
n bushel of wheat may be about the
proper quantity to SOW per acre, one
may be seeding twice or more than
twice as heavily as the other

The Adhesive Plaster.

In one family, where there are nu-
merOuS SideacheS, DackacheS, bruises,
and strains. the porous plaster has
come to be q recognized institution Its
putting on is generally accepted With
delight, but when it comes to the taking
off, the ''oh. dcars." and ''don'tS," ana
cries of pain are many and emphatic.
Even after the plaster is pulled off
there is Il layer of adhesive gum on the
skin that is struggled with in all sorts
OF ways. Sometimes the razor is en-
ployed for scraping; sometimes 4 sharp
knife is brought into use. and, again, Il
soft warm cloth IS pressed over the
spot. and when this has firmly attached
itself, the peeling process goes on.
Those who have occasion to use this
application will find immediate relief
from their annoyance, if they will.
after raising one side of the plaster,
wet the surface of the skin with alcO-
hol allowing it to run down as the
plaster is pulled Il little Ii any of the
gummy substance remains, Il bit of rag
wet with alcohol will cleanse the sur
face almost Immediately. This, also,
has another advantage, in that the
stimulating effect of the alcohol pre-
vents any possible cold that might be
taken on account of the removal of the
warm plaster. This is but Il trifle, but
it makes easy something that has al
ways been bugbear. especially to chill
dren, and is we'll worth trying.-New
York Ledger.
