definitely, and half dozen can paralyze
it. The Senate calendar is loaaed down
with measures sent over by the House at
the last session. some of them important,
all of them held up by silver obstruction
lists. The Dineley bill is among them.
Nobody looks for the passage of any of
these measures which are important,
least of all Of the Dinaley bill. Indeed
the Republicans themselves, or the ma
joriyy Of them, appear to have tired Of
this bill, and are now speaking of it as an
emergency measure. which would have
done good if passed last winter, but will
do no good If passed now. So the silver
obstrnotionists will not need to exert
themselves: much to kill this measure. In
deed the chances are that it would die If
they did not exert themselves to kill it at
all.
1t is barely possible that the President
may suggest soma legislation which
Congress may think important enough to
consider and enact. OF course he will
suggest legislation to increase the rove
nues. and to reform the currency, but
Congress is incapable Of dealing with
either of these subjects at present. There
is possibility that he may offer some
suggestions in regard to Cuba, which
Congress will feel like paying attention
to, as all the national parties have de-
clared their sympathy v it'll its struggling
patriots, but the chances are against It,

There is more Catarrh In this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors pro-
bounced 1t a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with
ence has proven caIarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore. requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by f. j, Cheney & Co., Toleuo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from ] drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
