Proposed to Make 1t Reciprocal With
That of Canada.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 25.-The
Republican mem bers of the Ways and
Means Committee are informally consid-
ering an amendment to the tariff bill
which will reduce the duty on coal from
70 cents to 60 cents per ton. The Cana
dian duty on coal is so cents q ton, and
the intention of the committee is to m axe
the duty reciprocal. 1t is argued that the
superior quality of the American coal is
in itself veritable protection against the
Nova Scotia product.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee are also considering the advisable
ity of changing the paragraph relating to
straw boards, upon which a straight duty
of 20 per cent was fixed in the BILL It was
proposed 10 write in an additional para
graph having especial reference to straw
boards dyed and painted, and on these
increasing the duty or 10 per cont, prob

a counter-balance to
equalize power and keep the machinery
going with steady even motion. With
out it the machinery would wrench itself
out of shape 1t is the same way with the
machinery of the human body: it needs
to 90 on steadily and regularly to be in
good hea1th-not by fits and starts. The
sudden wrenching medicines which peo-
pie sometimes take to overcome consti-
patton, give violent strain to the intes-
tines which weakens them, SO that the
costiveness is afterwards worse than be-
fore.
What costive people need is natural
laxative like Or. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
which are powerful without being vio-
lent. They move the bowels gradually
and comfortably but surely. You can
regulate the dose one, two or three
Pellets exactly as you need. They
strengthen the intestines to do their own
work, SO that after their movements have
become regular they keep on naturally
of themselves.
The " Pleasant Pellets /" gently stimu-
late and invigorate the liver to throw of
biliousness; and tone up the stomach to
secrete the digestive juices, and over
come dyspepsia The entire digestive,
or alimentary, tract is put in motion in
the regular steady way of nature and
health. THIS is what makes the "Pleas-
ant Pellets so immensely superior to
the numerous purging pills which wrench
and weaken the system. Druggists may
get more profit out of those other pills
but yon don't.

Indians that took part in the inaugural
parade in Washington. The delegations
from public, private and parochial schools
and military academies as estimated by
Captain E. L. ZaIinski, who has been ap-
pointed to the command Of this division

Gen. William p Craighill, chief of en-
gineers of the United States Army, is spo.
ken of for the presidency of Washington
and Lee University, Lexington, Va, in
place of Gen. G.. W. Gusts Lee, whose
resignation is to take place July 1. 1t is
questionable whether better selection
could be made. General Craighill goes
on the retired list during the present year
because of the age limit, but he is in ro-
bust health, is as active as many men at
fifty, and seemingly has many years of
usefulness before him. He is a distin-
gnished graduate of West Point, and be-
sides being one of the most accomplished
engineers the country has ever produced,
is scholar in the wide acceptation OF
that term. Besides he is q native of Vir
ginia. His accession to the presidency
of Washington and Lee University would
doubtless start that institution on a ca
reer of increased popularity and useful
ness, while it would afford General Craig
hill the opportunity of rounding up ca
reer which has been distinguished by in
tense application mis- profession, with
great benefit to the commerce of the
counuy.-BaHimore Sun We heartily

guished townsman.
