The True Remedy.

W. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Cheif," says: "We won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used DIR.
Kings New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc. +"
1t is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

The CHIEF objection was against the

President Hobart. Mr.. Sewell said that
he could not say that he was personally
objectionable. but he contended that the
Democratic incumbent had been in Office
almost four years. and that confirming
this nominee the Democrats would hold
the Office seven years.
This. he argued, was unfair. Mr.. Sc

to the other cases if this was permitted

Democrats, Popullsts and Silver Repub-
licans voting together. the nomina tions
were all confirmed. The vote stood %

THE QUACKENBUsm CASE.
The Fiji in Relation rhcretO Becomes
LAW bul Cleveland WilrNof Act.

Washington. ID. c., Feb. o3.-It is
learned to-day that the President per-
m!tted the bill authorizing the reinstate-
ment and retirement Of Commander
Quackenbush In the navy to become n
law without action on the 18th instant.
The President has not, however. acted
upon the authority conferred by the law,
and 1t is a question whether he will not
leave the matter to his successor.
Commander Quackenbush's case is
historical. He was tried by court
martial during the Presidency Of Gene
raj Grant and sentenced to dismissal
on charge Of intoxication, etc. This SEN
tence General Grant approved, but It
was subsequently modified into six
years suspension. a subsequent effort
to reinstatc him after the expiration OF
his SIX years suspension was vetoed by
President Cleveland. The present bill
simply gives a. discretionary authority y
to the President to rcinstate the officer
and retire him with reduced pay from
the date of reinstatement and retire
ment. The President, while allowing
the bill TO become a law, has plainly
intmated his purpose not to exercise
the discretion reposed in him.

GEN. LEES NOT YET RECEIVED
The resignation Of Consul General Lee
at Havana has not reached the sta te De
partment as yet. Presumably it is on
the way, and a much discussed question
Is whether it is OF the ordinary perfume
tory kind Or whether II i: Il fact. as has
been stated (and denied) that the General
has pressed its acceptance upon grounds
or dissatisfaction with the admins ira
ton. There aie reasons for believing
that the matter was to-day brought up
In the cabinet meeting. Emerging from
the cabinet chamber Private Secretary
Thurber said: You may deny cnphati-
cay, OIL my authority, that General Lee
has resigned"
DOUBTS REMAIN UNSETTLED
Nevertheless, rs the published state
ments are not that General Lee has re-
signed, but that his resignation will be
received by the next mall, some doubts
as to whether serious friction had not
arisen between The State Department
and the Consul General still remain un-
settled. This feeling was somewhat in
creased by guarded remarks made by
wel!-informed officials that General Lee
was 4 little inclined to be "hot-hca ded. ;"
There was general undercurrent OF
suggestion, rather than OF statement
that when our minister at Madrid and
the Consul General Mt Havana were di-
rected to make 'pe-emptory dem ands'
upon Spain, and those demands were
not complied with by the Spanish au-
thorities, the United States d!d not ap-
pear In q very dignificd light when it
had no force ut hand to back UP It's
requirements. This. at least, was said
to be the view entertained by both Min
lister Hann!s Taylor and Consul General

CIVIL SERVICE LAW

Washington, Feb. 23.--The House, la te
this afternoon. ran unexpectedly into an
interesting and possibly significant DIS
cussion of the civil service law Il came
about by the con: :idera lion OF q bill to
amend the Revised Statutes 80 as 10
give the governors OF Territories the
power to remove as we'll as to appoint
certain territorial officers.

bers or more, nearly all Of whom cri.i-
ci:ed and condemned the civil service

Messrs. Bros:us (Rep.), OF Pennsylvania,
and Walker (Rep.), Of Massachusetts.
Mr Grosvenor Rep.), Of Ohio. de-
nounced the law rs a ''sinuous, infamous
conspiracy upon the government" and
expressed the opinion that tide was
rising in this country which would sweep
bureaucracy from power
DEN OUNCED AS HUMBUG.
Mr.. Bailey, OF Texas denounced the
system as humb bug, and said the reason
why the Democrati lie party did not repeal
the law when it had the power was that
1t u:d not have sense enough.
Mr. Brosius deprecated the sentiments
or NJ. Grosvenor and Of the Republican
applause which their utterance evoked
saving that In View Of Major Mckinley's
we'll known attitude toward the merit
System, 1t seemed to him "a fieshing
sword In the heart OF The President
elect" The bill that started the deba te
was passed.
NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Most Of the session was spent In con-
sldera:lon OF the naval appropriation
bill. Mr.. Barrett Rep), or Mass chu-
sets, criticised the bill for Its failure to
make appropriation for what he deemed
one OF the most important parts Of the
service. the construction or dry docks,
and he moved an amendment authoriz-
ing one TO be built at the Boston navy
yard to cost not exceeding 81 900 OO0 He
made an extended speech in support OF
the amendment, which was followed By
a long and somewhat acrimonious dis
cu:slon, but 1t was finally defeated, only
about half 4 dozen members supporting
1t.
THE BILL PASSED
The bin was passed cxac.ly as II came
from the COMMITTEES on Nava! Affairs.
