Catarrh is local, not blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

To bring the subject definitely be- fore the Congress the following bill has been prepared in the hope that the Irrigation Congress will endorse and assist in the passage of the same. The provisions of the bill cut of all verbiage are simple. It provides for the advancement by the National Government of money enough to re- claim desert lands, and the repay ment of the same through the sale and reclamation of such lands. Every dollar the United States advances un- der its provisions will be repaid, while millions of acres now desert will be made habitab1e and productive in the West. Arizona has now reached its limit of development as an agricu1- tura1 country without an increase in it's water supply systems. No ques- ton exceeds this in importance to the citizens of the Territory-none on which they should unite more readily regardless of party. After the expen- diture of millions in improving East ern rivers and harbors, in building postoffice and other edifces, after guaranteeing the bonds of railroad companies to the extent of millions with the Republican and Democratic parties advocating the expenditure o1 one hundred million dollars to build the Nicarauga canal, after the pay ment of over twelve million dollars in bounties to the sugar growers of the South, after the esta blishment of pro- tective tariffs for over fifty years fo1 the benefit of the manufacturers o1 the East, there is no reason why such a bill as is herein proposed should not be passed:

THEY DISPUTE OLNEY.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 21.-The Commercial
Tribune wired Senator Sherman for his
views on the power of congress to rec

last night received the following wire
from him:
There is no foundatio for the statement that
congress may not, If it will. recognize the indie
pendence Of a new nation. nor do think Mr..
Olney contests it, but he thinks the matter
ought to come from the president If, how
ever. congress should pass resolution and the
president veto it, it can be passed by two
thirds of each house and would become
a law which the president must respect and
obey.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, tele-
graphed the following last night to the
Commercial Tribune as to Secretary
Olney's position on recognizing Gu ba:
think that Mr.. Olney's position is untena-
BILE In my opinion. congress has the power, by
statute or by joint resolution. to recognize the
independence OF Cuba If the president APP
proves the measure there can, OF course, be
controversy. If he disapproves it and it is
passed over his veto, it becomes law of the
land as effectually as if he had approved it.and
his duty to execute it is equally imperative in
either case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Secretary
Olney, in an authorized interview, dep
recates the adoption of the Cameron

recognition of Cuba is purely an exec
cutive matter which the resolution
cannot compel. He says:

to the executive regarding the manner In
which he shall exercise his constitutional func-
tions. The operation and effects of the pro-
posed resolution. therefore. even if passed by
are perfectly plain 1t may raise expecta-
realized. 1t may infiame popular passions both
in this country and elsewhere. and may thus
put in peril the lives and property of American
citizens who are resident and travelling abroad
and will certainly obstruct and perhaps defeat
the best efforts of this government 10 afford
such citizens due protection But, except in
these ways and unless the advice embodied in
the resolution shall lead the executive to
wise conclusions already reached and officially
declared, the resolution will be without effect
and will le;ve unaltered the attitude of this
government towards the two contending parties
in Cuba
This carefully prepared and en-
phatic announcement by Secretary
Olney of opposition to the Cuban recog-
milton resolution of Senator Cameron
is accepted as the action of President
Cleveland.
