The most striking features of the
man Dingley's comprehensive and bus
iness-like speech and the speech made
by Representative Dolliyer. Mr.. Dolli-
YER won his spurs as one of the best or
ators in the House long ago, but all
previous efforts we're surpassed last
week. Space forbids giving all he
said, but the following will give an
idea Of the speech: For the first time
since 1916 every great employment of
the American people is united in com
mon recognition of the Importance and
value of reasonable discrimination
by our laws in favor of our own peo-
ple-the farmer, because nearly every
! thing he has for sale must be sold here
or not at all: the manufacturer because
he has found it impossible to sell home
made goods in a market-place that has
already bought itself poor at the bar
gain counters of Europe and Asia; and
commerce., because a nation like this
that goes by the closed DOORS and
broken window-lights of its own fac
tories to the ends of the earth for what
it buys is in condition that is com
pletely fatal to all commerce, domestic
and foreign. : = |i | like this bill
because it is neither Eastern, nor
Western, nor Southern, nor Northern.
1t is American through and through,
opening the doors of opportunity to
every section and to every state. # + =
Your committee, gentlemen, without
fear or favor toward any foreign
country, has conscientiously under
taken to make this bill patriotic act
toward the United States Of America.
The farmers of the United States, my
brethren, are eager, not for the ia bled
markets of the world. They are long
ing for the music OF the old factory
bell, calling back the idle millions TO
deserted workshops of the United
States. " - Gentlemen, you may
talk of silver and gold until your
friends, in an undertone, begin to eX-
press their alarm. You may argue
about bonds and mortgages and banks
and capital and labor until the wheels |
in your head begin to revolye like velo-
cpedes, but you will never get bacl,
prosperity in the United States until
you give back to the American people !
the working wages that they lost four
years ago"

THE adoption by the Senate of reso-
luton providing for an investigation
into the civil service law in order TO de-
termine whether it shall be continued,
amended or repealed, is the first step in
an attempt to bring about correction
of the abuses which have crept into the
administration of that law, abuses that
were more numerous and tlagrant un-
der the last administration than eyer
before. The principle of the law is all
right, but the favoritism which has
been practiced in its administration is
all wrong. 1t is hoped that the investi-
cation will be thorough. Senator Allen
has introduced bill for the repeal of
the Civil Service law and all amend
ments thereto.

A SILLY story to the effect that Pres
ident Mckinley was on the verge of u
physical collapse was sent out from
Washington last week. There is not a
word OF truth in it. President Mckin-
ley is working very hard and has been
ever since his election, but his health
is good and he is standing up excel
lently under the strain. He is and has
always been man of regular habits:
consequently is able TO stand an
amount of hard work that would be
dangerous for most men to undertake.
lie goes walking with the elastic step
of man in good health, returning the
bows Of all he meets, even to those of
the colored bootblacks. His callers
continue to be numerous, and he gives
them all courteous hearing, but that
is all he can do for the most OF them.
He and all the members of his cabinet
are devoting considerable time to urg-
ing upon the Senators the necessity
for curtailing the debate on the tariff
bill in the Senate as much as possible
by allowing the opponents OF the bill
to DO the most talking.

interesting pamphlet, which at the
present time especially is remarkable
document. 1t is IAN Historical, Geo

the Island of Gambia or Ancient Crete,
written by the Hon Lewis Cass, who
was American Minister at Paris. The
pamphlet was printed at Richmond,

this is the only copy of this pamphlet

brother.iu-law, Judge Arius Nye, father
of Hon. d. S. Nye.

HER SOUL UNBURDENED.
A Young Brias's Confession In the W@zsr
 ing of the Honeymoon.

Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock- ett had been married nearly three weeks. and they had just returned from their wedding trip. They were supremely happy in each others love, and the honeymoon so far had been to them as one long, blissful dream Within the next day or two, however, the bride grew slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos session of her. The young husband no- ticed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on such Q troubled expression that he said to her:
 You have something on your mind, darling, that is troubling you. Tell me what it is ,
 At first she tried to persuade him that he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 You are wrong, Charley, dear, '' she would say Really, am not wor- rylng over anything. I am just as happy as can be- ,
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such a troubled look that her husband said to her
 Lucille, you must tell me what is troubling you. will not be put off any longer. As your husband have right 60 know.
 Seeing tkat further concealment was impossible, she broke down and sobbed bitterly:
 "Oh, Charley, am 50 unhappyi" she walled, 1T have-deceived- ,
 A sickeriHg sensation swept over the young husband Surely there must be some mistake. She, whom he had looked upon as the personifcation of innocent womanhood-deceive himl It must not be. It would destroy his happiness and blight his life And then, when he caught sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to the floor. Then, with great effort, he controlled his feelings
 "Ten me, he said ''1 am prepared for the worst "

Elephant R1esn an African Delicacy.


 The flesh of the elephant is eaten in it's entirety by several of the African tribes. A detail of the process of butch ering the animals is not pleasant read ing. The tools used are the assagai and hatchet The rough outer skin is first removed in large sheets. Beneath this is subeuticle, a pliable membrane, from which the natives make water skins The elephant yields large quan- titles of fat, used in cooking the na- tives' sun dried biltong, or dried strips of the elephants flesh, and also h the preparation of vegetables. African ex- plorers of the Caucasian race agree that one part of the elephants carcass, when properly cooked, is sucoulent dish that will regale the most delicate taste. This part, very strangely, is the first joint of the leg below the knee, which one would suppose to be the toughest portion of the animal. To prepare the joint hole three feet deep is dug in the earth, and the sides of 1t are baked hard by means of large live ooals. Most of the coals arc then taken out, and the elephants foot is placed in the rude oven. The hole is then filled with dirt, tightly packed, and blazing fire is built on top, which is kept replenished for three hours. The foot is thus evenly baked, and when done, instead of strong, tough meat fiber. it is of ge- iatinous consistency that may be eaten wiTh oon.-Philadelphia Lancet.

III health is a luxury that only the rich can afford and that no one can en- joy. Every woman is not so situated that she can be an interesting invalid, or rather, an uninteresting invalid, for there never was an interesting one.
 The woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine or woman can suffer in this way and be healthy, happy, arniable wife and compe- tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap the strength rack the nerves, paint lines of suffering upon the face, destroy the tetn- per, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish, and trans form vivacious woman into weak, siekly invalid.
 The one sure, speedy, permanent cure for all disorders of the distinctly feminine nature is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and import ant organs concerned, and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It cures the internal alteration and inhantfia- ton that give rise to debilitating drain on the system. It is the best medicine for overworked, "run-down women.
 :" About six years ago my wife became afflicted with female weakness writes the Rev. I. j. Coppedge, of Elmo, Kaufman Co.,, Texas. [" She could not stand her feet or get in any position in which she did not suffer great pain. She despaired of ever again being well. She took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and has been well and happy for twelve months.
