Beware of OintmeMts for
Catarrh that contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering 1t through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tons from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the sCstem. In buying
Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the
genuine. # is taken internally and
made in Toledo, Ohio by F. J. Cheney

has been pledged to secrecy concerning
the conference, and the democratic
members will not be allowed to know
what is going on until an agreement
has been reached, which will be some-
time this week, probably by Wednes'
day or Thursday. The secrets of the
conference have so far been we'll kept,
but it has leaked out that both sides
are making a fight for their sugar
schedule, but the House conferees are
expected to win, not only because the
original Dingley sugar schedule is more
satisfactory to the republican press and
the rank and file Of the party, but be-
cause Speaker Reed has said that the
House would never. under any circum-
stances, accept the Senate sugar SEIZED.
ule. There is talk of attempting to
act upon President McKinley's cur.
rency commission recommendation, but
it is likely that immediate adjournment
will follow the disposal Of the tariff
bill.
Although 1t was stated when $50 600
was appropriated by Congress for the
relief of destitute American citizens in
Cuba, that the amount would not be
drop in the bucket, it has turned out
to be much more than was needed.
Just as soon as the appropriation was
available, Consul General Lee was no.
titled to 60 ahead with the necessary
expenditures, up to that amount. Re.
ports from General Lee were submitted
to the last Cabinet meeting, and much
to the surprise and qualification Of the
President and his advisers, they showed
that although General Lee had rendered
substantial aid to every distressed
American citizen who needed it and
would accept, and shipped number of
them back to the United States, he had
only expended $4,000.
The pressure has been so great that
President Mckinley has decided to
modify President Cleveland's extension
of the civil service rules, and the order
is liable to be issued any day.
1t is much easier TO hatch up Con-
gressional scheme than it is to carry it
through, even when working for what is
favored by majority. Last week the
friends of the Hawaiian treaty con-
cluded that it was advisable to get the
treaty favorably reported to the Senate
at this session, and voted upon, if pos
sible. AS eight out of the eleven men,
bers of the Committee on Foreign re-
lations are known to favor the treaty
it looked like an easy matter to get the
treaty favorably reported, but it want
as easy it looked to be. A special
meeting of the committee was called,
but less than a quorum attended, and
at a second meeting there was only a
bare quorum present. The committee
will hold another meeting this week,
but it is far from certain that it will
decide to report the treaty.
The report, by way of Europe, that
Spain and Japan are trying to coax
England to enter with them into Il
triple alliance for the purpose of whip.
ping the United States into keeping its
hands off of islands in both the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans, has not caused
anybody in Washington to lose any
sleep, and it would not even if it were
known to be true, instead Of bit of
midsummer Stiffness On the part of its
originators.
