these fabulous figures. They are all
alike struggling for foothold, if ever
so slight, in our home msrket. When
the income of these 100000 of human
beings is intact every industry, from
agricultural to commercial, is prosper.
GUS. The miner is busy digging $780,
100000 or S7OO,0OO,0OO worth of mineral
annually from our abundant and un
touched stores imbedded in the rocks.
Those engaged in transportation are
busy carrying the raw material to the
factory and the finished product to the
market. The manufacturer is oecu-
pied in shaping all sorts of fabrics, the
st0rekeepers are prosperous and the
wheels of progress are going onward.
The farmer, under such conditions
reaps fruitful harvest, because people
having more money, buy more, and the
demand being greater, prices are high
and not low, as at present"
Our standard bearer is correct in the
statement made by him. "The mills,
not the mints are needed to be kept
running" Put all the idle men %
work and the cry of hard times would
soon die out. 1t matters not how
much money there is in circulation if

there is no work for the toilers-he gets
none of the money.
Bryan can talk himself blind, but his
theory will not set the idle wheels of
the country in motion. 1t is no theory
we want, but something practical.
I fail to End a ray of hope offered to
the millions of toilers in this country
in any of Bryan's sophistries.
Bryan says a great deal; if boiled
down it would go in very small space,
and when boiled down the workmen
would find very little wholesome meat
to digest.
Bryan's party betrayed the confidence
of the American people four years ago
by promising them four years Of
clover, but it turned out to be the
worst kind of thistles, which have
made the people angry and bare.
bryan is now offering "free-silveT."
Ii elected the workmen of the land will
find to their sorrow that it will be the
dearest kind of silver.
Bryan's preaching can't make one
dollar do the work of two. McKinley's
methods of starting the mills and
factory establishments of the country
at work on full time will solve the
problem of better times.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF.

1t is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself. Whatever his ca
pacities may be, he is sure to find some
Mace where he can be useful to himself
and to others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good health
and he cannot have good health with
out pure blood. The blood cireulates
to every organ and tissue and when it
is pure, rich and healthy it carries
health to the entire system, but If 1t is
impure it scatters disease wherever it
flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla it the one
true blood purifier. 1t cures saltrheum
scrofula, catarrh, dyspepsia and rheum-
atism because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.

THE DISTRICT BILL.

Washington, May S.-The senate com.
mittee on appropriations today concluded
it's consideration of the bill making appro-
priations for the District of Columbia.
The most important change made in the
bill was that restoring the old system OF
making appropriations for charities of the
District, and striking out the lump appro-
priation as made by the house.

A MINORITY REPORT.

Washington. May Ex-senator Nray,
from the committee on privileges and cleo
tons. today submitted the report of the
minority off that committee on a report
providing fJr an investigation of the Ala
bama elections. opposing the resolution.
The resolution is characterized as q
sweeping one, fixing no limitation of the
power of the senate, and the report asks
eff this select committee can go behind
the returns of the election officers in each
county, and how far their examination eX
tends. Will each person registered be
summoned and examined to ascertain If
he was in fact registeredT'
1t also asks if the state law protecting
the secrecy of the ballot is to be disre-
garded. If Senator MOrgan's election is
found to be illegal. the senate would not
only be required to find the candidate
who was elected, but to ascertain how
ach member of the legislature who ought
to have been seated, would have voted for
Warren Reese, the contestant.
In view of this the report says: "Ihe
conclusion that Mr.. Reese is a bona fide
contestant is manifest fiction, unworthy
of any consideration"
The report claims that the majority re-
port is an insult to the great state of Ala
bama, the report being based on facts
which have since been amended to meet
every demand of the Populist party in
the state, and added
son the first Monday in, August next,
under the amended laws. a new governor
and a new legislature will be elected, and
the new governor and the new legislature
will go into power before the meeting of
the next meeting of congress. When
could the select committee make its ex-
animation and report, and how could
congress consider and act on it?
Under such conditions it is very clear
that no result can be reached under this
resolution. except it's expected effect on
elections in Alabama and other southern
states during the summer and autumn.
The report is signed by Senators Gray,
Pugh, Turpie and Palmer. who constitute
the entire Democratic membership of the
committee

L
Washington, May S.-The members of

the sessions. Today the PROPOSE
ton to extend this allowance to
members during the recesses of congress
came up in the form of the Hartman reso-
luton, adversely reported from the COM
mittee on accounts 1t occasioned some
very sharp debate. 1t had the support of
Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appro-
priations committee, but was opposed by

Gated by Mr.. Cannon, Mr.. Morse (Rep.)

Mr.. Henderson Rep) of Iowa. and OPP
ri, Mr.. Tracey Rep.) of Missouri, MIR.
Wheeler Dem.) of Alabama, Mr. Skin
ner (Rep.) of North Carolina, and Mr..
Talbert Dem.) of South Carolina.
The resolution was amended so as to
except members having annual clerks,
and as amended was passed.
An analysis of the vote shows that LA
Republicans, Is Democrats and l silverite
voted for it, and 30 Republicans, 53 Dem
ocrats and 1 Populist voted against it.
The house agreed that when it adjourn
today it be to meet on Monday.
Bills were passed to quiet title to lands
to persons who purchased the same in

ing the president to inform the house

regulations of that government, which re-
uuire the slaughter of cattle imported
from the United States at the port OF

at the rate of $50 per month, and the wild
ow of the late Maj. Gen. Jose Carr at

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, May 1.-The net result
of three and half hours session of
the house today was the passage of
of appeals so as to allow appeals from
the supreme court of the territories to
the court of appeals.
Mr.. Pickler (Rep.) of South Dakota,
attempted to secure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered last night when the
house refused to remain in session to
pass private pension bills by blocking
legislation today. He made the point OF
no quorum at every opportunity ana
finally the house, losing patience, ad-
journed. 80
Mr.. picker threatens to keep up his
tactics until he accomplishes his object,
which, he says is to secure further con-
sideration for private pension bills.

The Washington Post tells story H.
lustrating the politeness Of Minister
Ransom. One day. when he was in the
senate, as he was going down the cap
itol steps, he saw approaching a very
dull, long winded man. Ransom was
alarmed. He was in no mental or phys
ical shape to bear the brunt of a full
fedged bore just at that moment He
must do something to save himself. As
the dull one drew near, Ransom, in his
desperation, greeted him with short
ness and hurried by. The other had
paused but at this brief dismissal, as it
were, turned away mp the steps. Ran
som was smitten of conscience at his
own rudeness. 1t was foreign TO his po-
lite and fiowery instincts. He must do
something TO take the soreness out Of
the man. Ransom turned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
the bore and called out: "Goodby,
Simpkinsl I've been thinking a mighty
heap about you lately, Simpkins" AT
this Simpkins began to betray symp-
toms of returning. "But don't come
back, Simpkins. demonstrated Ran
som, wildly mOtioning with both hands.

about you lately, Simpkins, but don't

Senator Roscoe Conkling was once
addressing the senate in an impassioned
manner and seemed to direct his re-
marks TO Senator Thurman AT length
the latter got irritated.
Does the senator from New York, :"
he roared, ''expect me TO answer him
every time he turns to me?''
For a moment Mr.. Conkling hesitat-
ed, and everybody expected terrific ex-
plosion. Then with an air of exquisite
courtesy he replied:
"When speak of the law, turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussulman
turns toward Mecca. / turn TO him as
do to the English common law as the
worlds most copious fountain of hu-
man Jurisprudence. "
The usually decorUus senate broke in
to storm of applause, and the Thur
man eye moistened little. 1t is ever a
pleasure TO be complimented, but to be
complimented as a lawyer by Roscoe
COnkling was praise indeed. The
two statesmen were the best of friends

A young man from way down east
had gone to Denver armed with an old
fashioned Allen pepper box
that weapon was called in those DAYS.
In gambling house one night he be-
came involved with bad man" in a
quarrel and drew forth his pepper
box" The bad man. who was really
a tough citizen from the mountains, and
who had not the renotest idea of fear,
and who was always armed with pair
of big navies, threw up his hand in well
feigned dismay and said:
Heavens, man! You amt a-goin to
