CONGRESS.

There was lively debate over the
Dingley tariff bill last week in the
Senate in which all parties engaged.
The conclusion arrived at was that
there is no possibility of it's being car
ried through the senate. The silver
men and the pop;;lists, together with
some democrats will oppose it.
The question and propriety of an
extra session Of congress is being dis
cussed on all sides, with no knowledge
of what Mckinley will do when he
comes into power. 1t seems probable
that deficiency in the revenue will
occur until some measure of relief is
afforded by congress, which m ust be
met by immediate legislation, or go
over till next winter. This would put
pected that the republicans would be
able to pass revenue bill this spring
if an extra session is called.
Congress, as we'll as the whole coun-
try, is greatly agitated over the death
of the patriot Maceo, of the insurgent
forces of Cuba, and the belief is pre-
valent that he met his death by the
treachery of Weyler and other Span
ish officers. II it turns out that this
is the fact there are plenty of men in
congress who will vote or do nything
that can be done for the Cubans. The
whole country will be moved to do
the most possible in all lines to drive
the treacherous and blood thirsty
| Spaniards from this side of the At
j lantic.

After meals you shopld have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. Ii you do
you have indigestion, which means not
digestion. This may be the beginning
of so many dangerous diseas that it ls
b st to take it in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes pois-
on, which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di-
gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs and
makes them perfectly healthy. This is
the rationale of it's method of cure, as
the doctors would say. Sold by drug
gists; price 10 cents to $1.00 per bot

Would Honor Georgia.

From the cambridge Democrat.
1t is our opinion that General c. A.
Evans will be elected governor of Geor-
gia in 1898 without opposition. He is
still one of the grandest men in the
south.-Darien Gazette.
Should General Evans aspire to the
governorship again thousands who voted
against him when he ran against Akin
son would vote for him, not that they
think less of Governor Atkinson, but
because they think more of General Ev-
ans. He has demonstrated that he is
worthy of any position of honor and
trust within the gift of the party, or the
public; and Georgia would honor her
self by electing him governor at any
time.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

The farmers and planters in Decatur
county are now selling their tobacco
crops, some of which are as large as TO-
900 pounds, at 40 cents per pound. The
indications are that for the next few
years at least tobacco will rise in price.
The Cuban war, which has been in prog
ress for several years, has been the
means of placing Decatur county tobac-
co more extensively on the market, and
it is now filling the position formerly
occupied by the imported Cuban to5ac-
Co.

BAIT FOR GUDGEONS.
Wall Street Doesn't Possess All of the Fi-
nanciaI Ability.

Wall Street Doesn't Possess All of the Fla
nanciaI Ability.
An election bet is not always what it
seems. For ways that are smart and
tricks that deceive the man who makes
bets on elections is a dandy. He bats
hook for gudgeons, and frequently lands
them. A case in point comes over the
wires from Denver. A fellow out there
put on bait for gold gudgeons, and the
report is that he has hooked fish in
New York.
The Denver mans proposition was
this: He would bet $3.50, even, that he
could name twenty states that Bryan
would carry, and then $500, even, that
Bryan would carry half of the balance ;
the bets considered together. That is
il the first bet were taken the other mt
be also.
On the face of the scheme it would ap
pear, at first glance, that the Denver man
was an enthusiastic free silverlCe, dis
cipIe of Bryan so thoroughly convinced
of the righteousness of his cause, and
that the majority of the people would
soon come the same way of thinking,
that he was willing to wager $3.50 that
Bryan would make practically clean
sweep of the country. ''Pll bet can
name twenty states that will go for Bryan
and that half the others will go for him
also" That is apparently what the Den
yer mans proposition means.
But in reality it means no such thing
1t is "skin game" from beginning to
end, in which the westerner is play ing a
"dead sure thing for stake of $3.50
And this is the way he will do it: When
he comes to naming the twenty states
that Bryan will carry-the $3.50 bet-he
will begin, Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, and SO on, select
ing all the states that are morally certain
to go republican. He will lose that bet,
of course. Then will come the $500 bet
that half the remaining states will go
for Bryan. The number remaining will
be twenty-five. He will have to name
only thirteen to win. Nothing in politi-
cal speculation could possibly be easier.
And the Denver fisher for gudgeons will
take in profit of $3.50 without having
risked a cent.
1t is reported that New York man
has taken the bet-swallowed the bait
whole. 1t has frequently been asserted
that all the financial ability in the coun-
try is not to be found in the neighbor-
hood Of Wall street. This is one ;nci-
dent going to prove the correctness of
the assertion.

1t is surprising to many that football
players and other athletes regard a sprain
or bruise of so little consequence. One
reason of this is, they know how to treat
such injuries so as to recover from them
i'll few days, while others would be
laid up for two or three weeks, if not
longer. Writing from Central State Nor
NAL School, Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. Fl.

nas.um, says: ST take pleasure in stat
ing, that the members of our base ball
club and myself have used Chamber

the best remedy for sprains, swellings,
cuts and bruises, of any 1 know. For
