There is only one way to cure Deaf

famed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inAamed you have rumb

when it is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be ;aken out and this tube restored
t. its NJ, NAL condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAamed condition Of the MI.

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CoRpEsroNDENT

FROM OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 10Th, 1895.
Those who regard men as merely
grown up boys are not surprised at the
indications of Congress getting "Christ-
mas in its bones" and even those who
look upon Christmas as merely bit of
left over childish nonsense do not feel
that they have any kick coming to them
because lots of Senators and Represen-
tatives have already gone home to spend
the holidays. Their going or staying
would not affect public business, as the
House can do nothing until its commit
tees are announced, and it is now said
chat Speaker Reed will not announce
them until Just before the recess adjourn
ment, which will occur the last of this
week.
The republican caucus committee has
finished selecting the chairmen of the
Senate committees and the republican
membership of those committees, and
caucus is now in session to consider
them, and, unless advance indications
were all wrong, it's quite lively eau
Gus. One of the causes is that Senator
Stewart, populist, Of Nevada, has been
named as Chairman of the Pacific Rail.

islation for the settlement of the debts
those roads owe the government, will be
very important committee. 1t is be-
lieved that the slate will 90 through as
arranged by the caucus committee, but
if the fight in caucus is bitter one it

How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer .
prize Of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the irst of every month to the person who
submits to US the most meritorfous invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea Of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to h,m fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple Invention like
The car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way Of improving upon, and 1t is these kind
Of inventions that bring the greatest returns

sired to give away everything we had Ito
give away American interests to whomso-
ever would take them. say that Is the sad
dest and most serious part of the case; and
part of the Democratic party, at least, with
the administration, has done a harm that
l fear may seriously trouble us in the fu-
tureyin endeavoring, perhaps unconscious
ly, to blunt the patriotic spirit of the people
of this country. He who does that does
us the greatest possible harm, for in the
patriotic hearts of the people rests our Sc
curity. Without them our institutions
cannot exist. When Demosthenes was
eloquently urging the people of Athens TO
struggle against Philip for the protection
of Greece, Eschines was leading his party
against his own country, not in battle
but in the councils of the nation
When Hannibal was fighting Rome
with his matchless genius endeavoring to
crush the great enemy of Carthage, there
was n copper-head party at home, led by
HannO, that finally defeated his purpose
and brought Carthage to ruin. Oh, let it
not come topass here that gentlemen shall
take position that shall finally build
up party in this country that shall be
party of unpatriotism, a party that shall
oppose everything which the interests of
the people demand, and which shall en-
deavor to put check on the power, the
grandeur, and the glory of this great ma
ton.
Battle ships! Why, as 1 have said,
England this year will build more battle
ships of larger tonnage, carrying more
weight of metal, than the entire battle
ships of our navy. She will this year in
crease her ships beyond the number and
strength of all we have, and we talk about
this little niggardly appropriation for a
few battle ships which we need to enable
us even to do the police duty of the United
States upon the ocean. Applause on the
Republican side.)
Have gentlemen no pride in their coun-
try? Do they wish to see it shorn of power
to defend its interests and its honor?
Would they have its ports the prey of
every second or third class nation on the
globe? Would they see it so defenseless
that it must quail at every threat Of other
nations, and feel its incompetency to
guard its dignity and maintain its rights
(Applause.)
If they do the people do not, and as
much as gentlemen have done to blunt in
the hearts of the men and women of our
land their earnest love of country, they
will find when the trial day shall come
that they have undertaken task that can
not be accomplished. Let us have the
battle ships. The patriotism and wisdom
of the nation demand it, and we shall not
be held guiltless by those whom we repre-
sent if we shall not respond, by our votes,
to that demand. The people are proud of
their country, proud Of it's grand history,
proud of its progress and its proves,
proud of its institutions and their bene-
ficent influence upon mankind, abroad as
we'll as at home, and they will not see its
arm of power paralyzed Ey those who are
monarchists at heart, though they present
an American surface to the world. Great
applause.)

Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr., of New York,
who enjoys the reputation of being about
the most sensational preacher in the
United States, has resigned his pastorate,
and will, it is understood endeavor to es-
tablish an independent church Mr..
Dixon has shown his ability to draw large
transient crowds; but they are said to
have contributed comparatively little to
his support. His sensational sermons
drew crowds that speedily overtaxed the
capacity of the Twenty-third street Bap-
fist church, in which he officiated as pas
tor. He then persuaded his congregation
to hire large hall, where they speedily
found themselves submerged in the crowds
of transient visitors who were attracted
by Mr.. Dixon's breezy style, and vigorous
invective. Notwithstanding this their
financial burdens did not appear to dimin-
ish. They became dissatisfied, restless,
and anxious for q return to the old church
home But Mr.. Dixon did not relish the
idea He loved notoriety, and in his hall,
was securing it in generous measure
When the trustees of his church voted TO
surrender the lease of the hall on May
lst, he decided to sever his connection
with it. The future of this man will be
watched with interest, Notwithstanding
the general impression that he is destined,
hereafter, to occupy less prominent place
in the public eye.

Decoy Letters.

Not long ago rascal, who had made
use of the United States mails for illegal
and indecent purposes, was captured by
the detectives by means of decoy letters
When his case came before the Federal
courts he pleaded that the evidence ad-
duced against him was inadmissible; that
he could not be convicted on decoy letters,
inasmuch as they were not bona fide mail
matter, and, consequently, the evidence
adduced through them was not legal
Strange as it may seem, the judge, be-
fore whom this matter was tried, took
this view of the case, and ruled in favor OF
the criminal The situation was serious,
It threatened to make the secret service
of the government almost impotent. The
detectives of the post office department
urged that they could not possibly attain
practical results in their work II such a
ruling were permitted to stand; that it
would put an end to all their efforts, as
without decoy letters, it would be impos-
sible to trap the shrewd swindlers who
| make improper use Of the mails
The decision of the district court was
carried to the supreme court of the United
States where it was promptly overturned.
The able judges of that body are said to
have expressed amazement that such a
ruling could have been made by judge
Of Federal court.
/ The incident serves to illustrate the
danger in elevating men to such positions
of responsibility who have neither COM
mon sense nor legal acumen to fill them
in cIeditablc manner.

The Gar of Russia has abolished the
use of the knout,an institution of torture
compared with which the old cat-o-nine-
tails was toy The knout was whip
with leathern lashes mingled with wires
Every blow from 1t lacerated the back OF
the unhappy victim, and it is said that
during the past ten years its use, by Rus
sian officials, has resulted in the deaths OF
5000 persons. 1t is a sad commentary
upon the character of Russian civilization
that the flogging of women with the
knout in the public market places OF the
towns, by brutal officials, has been mat
ter of very common occurrence in Russia
during the past decade. 1t will be crafty
ing to Christian people everywhere to
note this awakening of the finer senti-
ments of civilization and humanity in a
country whose magnificent industrial
achievements have led the nations of the
earth to look for more modern methods in
it's system of government.

DIR. Marcus L. Taft, member OF the
faculty of the American University at
Picking, China. has given, in brief and
comprehensive address, recently delivered
at New York city, the reasons as they APP
pear to him, why China has been SO cas-
lily Inundated by Japan in the present
war. The prime causes he thinks, have
been paganism, opium, and official cor
ruption. Christianity has made little
Roadway in China. The people there have
refused the guidance of the missionaries,
and have stolidly adhered to heathenism.
In Japan the case has been different. A
large number of the people there have
embraced Christianity, and the spread OF
gospel truth has been rapid. Japan also
permits wide liberty in religious worship.
The principal cause of China's downfall
in the opinion OF DIR. Taft is opium
Nearly every Cinnamon is addicted to
the use of this drug It's effects arc far
worse than those of drunkenness. The
Japanese people do not use opium in any
form. Again, the Chinese empire is near
" honeycombed with official corruption.
The people have no national pride. The
military and naval forces of the empire
are lacking in leadership. 1t is to be
hoped that the lessons of the present
struggle may be sufficient to awaken
moro progressive spirit and nObler civili-
cation in the Chinese empire.
