WORK OF CONGRESS.
What Our Legislators Have Been
Doing the Past Week.

The Morgan Cuban resolution was
discussed in the Senate Monday. Mr..
Hale, of Maine, and Mr. White, of
California, spoke against the resolution,
while Mr.. Turpie, of Indiana, support
ed it. Mr.. Morrill, will speak on the
resolution to-day, and there is some
prospect that vote may be reached on
Mr.. Hale's motion TO refer the resolu-
ton to the Committees on Foreign At
fairs. A resolution was agreed to put
ting into effect to-day the rearrange-
ment of the Senate Committees as
agreed upon in the several caucuses.
The House Monday resumed the
transaction of public business, which
had been suspended since the Indian
Appropriation bill was sent to the con-
ference three weeks ago. The consid-
GRAFTON of the Senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
entered upon under special order pro-
viding for recess each day until dis
posed of. The debate was confined to
the discussion of the Senate amend.
ment to restore the lands set apart as
forest reservations under Prerident
Cleveland's order of February %. 1t

ton Monday at o'clock.
The Cuban question occupied the
entire attention OF the Senate Tuesday.
Senators Morrill,, of Vermont, aud
Caffrey, of Louisiana, spoke in opposi-
ton to the Morgan resolution; Senators
Lodge, of Massachusetts, and Foraker,
advocated deferring the question until
further information could be secured
from the State Department, and Sena-
tors Mills, of Texas, and Allen, of Ne
braska, urged the immediate passage
of the resolution. The debate went
over until to-day.
The consideration of the Senate
amendments to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill was finished in the House
on Tuesday and the bill was sent to the
conference. President Cleveland's for
est reservation order was the subject
of much debtae, and the House voted
not to concur in the Senate amend
ment to annual the order, with the un-
Outstanding that the conferrees should
arrange an amendment which would
have the same effect. The amend
ment appropriating $50, 900 to improve
Pearl Harbor, in the Hawaiian Is
lands, was rejected by vote of s. to
SO.
In the Senate Wednesday the sugar
investigation of 1894 was recalled by
the introduction of resolution by Mr..
Allen, of Nebraska, proposing that Ell
verton R. Chapman be brought to the
bar of the Senate to purge himself of
contumacy as prerequisite to pardon.
Mr.. Allen sought TO secure immediate
action on the resolution. but it went
over on objections. Mr.. Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts, criticised the resolution as
giving away the authority of the Sem
ate, and said he would propose an
amendment with a view of having
Chapman punished unless he purged
himself of contempt without reference
to the question of pardon.

THE STAMP COLLECTORS.

Some enterprising gentlemen in Sa.
moa have proposed to take the post
office and run it as a business, by work
ing off unlimited quantities of postage
stamps upon the dealers and collectors
of the rest of the world.
The Peruvian government has real.
lied net profit of $780, $50 from the sale
of the last commemorative issue. As
long as collectors keep on purchasing
these commemorative issues the South
American governments will find events
to commemorate"
The stamp dealers are getting over
the scare caused by the arrest of the
Washington clerk who was caught sell
ing postage due and periodical stamps.
Powerful influence is at work to save
him from punishment. A man has been
found who thinks he remembers giving,
these stamps to the clerk, and finally
the claim is made that the stamps are|
no good anyhow, being only proof
sheets.
Perhaps the greatest rarity turning
up the past year was pair of two-cent
circular stamps of British Guiana, is
sued in 1850, and they are probably
worth upward of $4,000. The stamps
were first found by woman residing
in the colony, and were afterward ac-
quired by a prominent Demerara col.
lector. A few weeks ago they were
purchased by one of the big London
firms for a wealthy English collector,
and may now be said to form the prin'
cipal gem Of this gentleman's mag
nificent collection.

A Move on the Police of Baltimore

And so our so-called and would-be
indepe ndent Democrats of Baltimore
are beginning to realize what reform
means from Republican standpoint.
Even the police department of our
Monumental City, which was so highly
praised by the Sun, comes in for a gen.
eral shaking up. Places are wanted
for Republican ward workers and what
better places are there for the bosses
than on the police force? Old and re-
liable sergeants and Others have had
trumped up charges preferred against
them and the two to one vote always
settles the question. 1t was generally
understood that one of the agreements
with the managers or those interested
in securing the services of the Balti-
more Sun in helping to turn Maryland
over into the hands of the Republi-
cans was, that there should be no in-
reference with the police force of Bal
timore. Whether the Sun considers
the recent removals cause of uneasiness
for the welfare of the citizens of Balti-
more, is a matter they will make
known at their own pleasure. Many
prominent citizens and taxpayers OF
Baltimore, however, are more than APP
prehensive that the men in power will
not hesitate to do all that is possible to
hold on to what Democrats gave them
against their own party. Who can
blame the Republican bosses?

The Odell Policy.

The present management of the b.
& o. seems to be impressed with the
line of policy so vigorously advocated
by General Manager Odell, which
policy, by the way, was the occasion of
no end of disagreements among the
former managers of this great corpora
ton. Mr.. Odell was an earnest adj
vocate of the improvement of the phys
ical condition of the 3. d o. and
maintained that it was impossible to
conduct a road on business principles
unless this important fact was recog-
nized. With the millions already spent
by the present Receivers and thou
sands yet to be spent, the B. d o.
should be in a condition to do an eX-
tensive business. Since Mr.. Odell's
policy seems to be in such high favor,
it would not be unreasonable to sup
pose that he might yet become identi-
fled with the future management OF
the once great B. d o. The all absorb
ing question of the day is what will
be the condition ofothe preferred stock
holders. Judging from the stock re-
ports the decision in the case is already
discounted. 1t looks as if all the stock
would share common fate. Much
will yet be heard on this question.

GEN. FITZHUGH LEE, the Consul
General at Havana, has sent to this
Government report, which rumor has
it, is the strongest paper yet prepared
on the situation, and besides showing
up Weyler in most uncomplimentary
manner, it goes on to say that the in
surgents are stronger than ever before
and that there is very little doubt en-
tertained but that they will ultimately
achieve their independence. Mckinley
and several members of the Foreign
Relations Committee are having con-
ference, presumably on this very mat
ter, and it would not be surprising if
something advantageous to the cause
of Cuba Libra would be the result. A
special representative, w. J. Calhoun,
has gone to Cuba to learn the true facts
and report them to the State Depart
ment. He is also counsel in the Ruiz
investigation.

Mr.. Birely Out in the Cold.

Mr.. Samuel NJ. Birely, of Thurmont,
this county, who has always been
troubled with not knowing on which
side to hang his banner, was one of the
applicants for the position of sub.treas-
urer. For some time past the young
gentleman has been catering to the
fortunes of Mr.. Wellington, and in con-
sideration of this great honor, Mr.
Birely was admitted into the august
presence of the State boss in his pala-
tial home in Washington. OF course,
everybody knew that Allegany was
slated for the place, but Frederick
considered she had some claims, conse-
cuently Birely went to the post. I'm
fortunately he was outclassed from the
start and when the bell rung it was
found that he had not even filed his
application, as Boss Wellington advis-
ed him to consider we'll what he was
doing. Had Mr.. Birely made an open
fight he would have had some strong
backing from this county, but vac
illating policy can never win with
such boss as the gentleman from Al
legany has proven himself to be.
Some other day Frederick and Mr.
Birely may be considered.

The "colored brother" in Baltimore
is justly incensed at the treatment he
has received at the hands OF his own
party, and few nights ago assembled
at Samaritan Temple in great numbers
to organize an independent movement
to begin operations this fall. The
leaders of this new party propose to
nominate their own people for Office
and try to elect them. They de-
nounce the white Republicans as un.
worthy of their further support, and
unless something can be done to ap-
pease their ire things will be very
much mixed up during the coming
campaign.

II does seem strange how some men
who profess to be Democrats and who
declare themselves ready to aid their
party, will allow selfish considerations
to cause them at such time to keep
up dissentions in the ranks of the DEM
ocratic party. Let the demand be made
for first-class nominations, fairly and
honestly made, and then let all unite
in trying to redeem Maryland. Surely
we have had enough of Radical rule.
We can win the State and likewise
carry Frederick County with good
nominations. For once let us all try
and get together; no better time to pre-
pare for the next great fight than the
State contest this year.

the most economical method of pre-

then rest assured that you will not be
bothered with worms in your meat.

Now its the Other Fellow.

Now that it has been charged that
those close to the Republican man
ayers, who have charge of the tar
if question in the Senate, are profit
ing by the information at hand TO en-
rich themselves by Wall street specu-
lation in sugar stock, we hear but lit
tie from that supposed virtuous press
which so denounced Democratic Sena-
tors for aiding, as they claimed, the
Sugar Kings during the last tariff
fight. The injustice that was done
many Senators at that time has not
been forgotten and yet the press, ever
ready to denounce, have been slow to
retract it, The position assumed by
our Senators on the late tariff bill now
causes hundreds of fair-minded men to
realize that they did them great in
justice, and so now, many no doubt,
have been made To realize that those
in power must be ready to bear the
stings of envy and malice, and rest un'
der charges both false and cruel. Yet
this has ever been with public men
who cannot be turned from the course
they deem right by aGhowling lot oI
penny a liners.

AGAIN Senator Wellington comes to
the front and declares himself to be
the ruler of the Republican Machine;
and why not? Surely the independent
Democrats who voted against their
party have no cause of complaint. Mr..
Wellington made no concealment of
how be ran the machine in his own
county, so why blame him now for
what he has always done? His side
partner, Governor Lowndes, has been
cared for, and why should Senator
Sloan be kept in the cola? Not much.

ton simply winks the other eye.

THE Greek war is practically at an

mistice. They say the Greeks must
evacuate the Island of Crete. Now

tries engaged in this outrageous game
of coercion came out ahead in advan-
tage and honor? 1t is little credit,
which ever it was, and the civilized
world has its opinion of the nations
aiding the cause of the savage Turk

How to Treat a Wife.
(From Pacific Health Journal.)

First, get wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and perplex-
tiles in your business, but do not, there
fore, carry to your home cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials, which, though of less magnitude,
may be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds of
gloom. To this we would add always
keep bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house. 1t is the best
and is sure to be needed sooner or
later. Your wife will then know that
you really care for her and wish to pro-
tect her health. For sale by A. L..

THE new tariff bill will cause thou
sands of honest Republicans to realize
that they made a great mistake in vot-

to see the mistake in turning out Dem

new men, who with assessment and
other expensive measures have increas-

American Horses In Germany.

One of the influential German Hue
trated papers, using the report OF tho
American consul at Bremen as text
says there is good market in Germany
for American horses. Since 1895 it ap'
pears that fully 10000 horses have been
shipped from this country to the vari'
GUS German ports, the chief markets
being in Hamburg and Bremen. They
bring on an average about SITS eacn'
and are often resold, according to tho
paper, for $3.50 at Leipsic and other IN
land cities. Purchasers for the animals
have gone from Sweden and Denmark
to Hamburg, showing that there y
probably a market for them in those
countries as well. The German newT
paper. however, warns American ship
pers that it is useless to send poor
horses to Germany, and suggests thss
great care be taken in handling ana
feeding them while on the water.
