Two Lives Saved.

Mrs Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, Ill, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DIR.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Ihos. Eggers, 139 Florida ST., San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of DIR. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. 1t is such
results. OF which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy OF
this medicine in Coughs and Colds

THE POLITICIAN.

The Republican Senate steering"
committee held conference this week
to consider the order of business for
the remainder of the session, but as
the Republicans have not majority it
will be necessary for the Democratic
steering" committee to agree to pro-
gramme before it can become effective.
1t is quite certain, however, that Mr..
Cleyeland will not be given an oppor-
tunity to kill the River and Harbor
bill and about one hundred private
pension bills by pocket vetoes. Conse-
quently there is no obability that
adjournment will occur until these
bills have become laws, with or with.
out his signature, or shall be vetoed,
and it is not probable that the River
and Harbor bill will reach the White
House before next week, as the Senate
added number of important amend
ments to the bill which may cause
some delay in conference. 1t is re-
garded as almost certain that this bill
will be vetoed, and expected that it
will be passed over the veto, but all
this will take time. Consequently ad-
journment is not looked for before the
first or second week in June.
If it is true, as has been freely charg-
ed, that money was spent to secure the
opposition of the A. P. A. to the candi-
dacy OF Governor Mckinley for Presi-
dent, it was made very certain at the
meeting of the Supreme Council of the
A. P. A., held in Washington last
week, that those who furnished that
money made very bad investment.
Some people were surprised at the
result of the vote on the resolution de-
claring Col. Dupont, of Delaware, to
be entitled to seat in the Senate,
but it is quite certain that Senator
Mitchell, chairman of the Election
committee, who had charge of the re-
solution, was not one of them, and it
is not probable that Col. Dupont was.
The House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce this week de-
cided to favorably report the Mahon
Nicaragua Canal bill, with some addi.
tions and changes. The bill author
ICES the Canal Co., to issue 800, 900, 900
in 8 per cent bonds, guaranteed by the
U. s. and redeemable at pleasure after
ten years, to be secured by first mort
gage on all. the company's property.
1t also provides that the canal shall be
constructed according to the plans of
the Engineer department of the army
and under its supervision. 1t has not
been definitely decided whether an at
tempt will be made to put this bill
through the House at this session. and
probably will not be until the Senate

indicates what it is going to do about
adjournment

In order tnat no charge OF partisan
ship should lie, Senator Morrill,, chair
| man of the Finance committee, chose
three Democrats, one Republican and
one Populist to make up the subcom-
mittee which will investigate those
bond issues, in accordance with the re-
solution adopted by the Senate There
is no desire Oh the part of the Republi-
cans to make any political capital out
of this investigation. They only want
the truth, and most of them really
hope that Secretary Carlisle and Mr..
Cleveland will both be entirely cleared
of the ugly charges which have been
made against them in connection with
the issues of bonds. Like true patri-
OTIS they would prefer seeing the good
name of the President and Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States
upheld than to get benefited through
their being smirched. Political Jug
Cling and trickery may be excused in
an official, but personal dishonesty,
never.
The belief that the sending of Gen.
Fitz Lee to Cuba as Consul General has
some sort of scheme behind it has
been strengthened by the official state
ment that Mr.. Cleveland had requested
Mr.. Williams, who has been our consul
General in Cuba for twenty-odd years,
to remain in Havana for time as Gen.
Lees adviser. "Adyiser" is good, but
Mr.. Williams will really be Gen. Lees
interpreter, as he doesn't know word
of Spanish. The new Consul General
is going to Cuba at once, although he
is risking his life in doing so, as the
unhealthy season has already opened
in Havana and yellow fever is on the
increase, so that the Cleveland scheme
in which he is being used must soon
become visible to the naked eye, and
it will excite little surprise in Wash
ington should it turn out to be con.
nected with Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy
for third term.

The New York Times, in speaking
of the difference between Mckinley
and other prominent Republicans, in
Ohio twenty years ago, says: Mr.
Hayes became President in 1877. Nc
Kinley went to Congress that year
and Garfield was also in the House.
After that fight for sound money in
Ohio, what was the attitude of these
men at Washington toward silver in
flation and reputation?
Mckinley became a follower of
Bland, and on Nov. 5, 1877, voted for
BANDS free-coinage bill. Garfield, of
course, voted against it. Two months
later Mckinley voted for resolution
declaring that Government bonds
were payable in silver. Garfield OPP
posed it. In February, 1878. McKin-
ley voted against motion to lay the
amended Bland bill on the table; Gar
field voted the other way. President
Hayes, the sound money leader from
Ohio, vetoed the bill. Did Mckinley,
of Ohio, stand by him? No; he voted,
on Feb. %. 1878, to pass the bill over
the veto. Where was Garfield? On
the other side with Hayes.

A Washington exchange has the fol-

instructive lecture yesterday afternoon
inthe lecture hall of Columbia Uni

GENERAL COUNTRY PRODUCE
Sadie Buxton Dead.

Sadie Buxton, one of the victims of
the Gaithersburg assault, died on last
Friday afternoon at Garfield Hospital.
where she had been lingering since the
crime was committed. Her mother
was at her bedside when she passed
away. None of the family were able
to attend the funeral on Sunday, at
Gaithersburg, although Mr.. Buxton
was able to walk about the hospital
grounds. Mrs. Buxton is able to sit
up in bed, but has not left it yet.
The condition of Miss Maud Buxton
is giving the physicians more or less
care at present. She is suffering from
asphyXia, and can only enunciate dis
tinctly such simple words as "papa'
and "mamma.n She does not pro.
nounce the or" in DOCTOR" calling the
physicians "doctaw."
Her wound is doing very well,
There is only small fracture, which
is healing as well as could be expected.
But she is suffering great deal from
nervousness. The entrance of nurse
or physician into her room sets her to
crying and she weeps considerable.
The strain on her nerves has tended to
retard her recovery and is undoubtedly
doing her much harm. She feels keen
ly the lack OF ability to express her
ideas in speech, and as she is suffering
from partial paralysis of her right
arm, she cannot write.
A meeting was held on Saturday at
the Capital Savings Bank building,
Washington city, by the colored men,
to take steps for the defense of Ran
dolph and Neale. It was attended by
about twenty-five of the most influen-
tial colored residents of the citv.
Speeches were made regarding the af-
fair, and while no spirit was indicated
that the men should be saved if guilty.
the Impression was that the men were
innocent, and as such should be pro-
tected. A committee of five was ap-
pointed to conduct the case and thew
will employ an expert criminal lawyer
and detectives, if necessary, to obtain
evidence clearing Randolph and Neale.
