NEW TARIFF IN THE COURTS.

When Congress passed the Dingley
tariff bill, It also resolved to adjourn
finally on that day. BY the Constitu-
tion, II the president had not signed
the bill while Congress was actually in
session, II would have failed to have
become a law at all, and would have
been dead. Legislatures can leave bills
on the hands Of governors. who have a
set number OF days in which to con-
slider them. The president must sign
all legislation before Congress finally
adjourns, or it fails to become a law
The hour Congress set for adjourn
ment was $50 D. m, Saturday.
Whether the president signed the meas
ure at 4.04 in the afternoon or at $50
or at any time before $50 mattered not.
He had to sign it some time that day
or not at all.
Having signed 1t, the period at which
It took effect on imports was for the
Treasury Department primarily to de-
eide and will be for the courts event
ually to decide The president could
under no circumstances decide that.
Nor is the suggestion that the bill
should provide for itself to take effect
at some time after its passage, a matter
which touches Mr.. Mckinley. Congress
alone could provide that, and Congress
did provide that it should take effect
at once on its passage. The Treasury
Department has tentatively decided
that the bill runs with the day it was
signed and with the beginning of that
day, namely a. m. Saturday. 1t could
hardly decide that it took effect on
Monday, when Congress had expressly
enacted Immediately" in the measure
itself. The courts will settle any money
question between importers who got
their stuff through the custom houseb be-
fore o'clock Saturday and the gov
ernment. The government has decided
the doubt OF the question in favor OF the
Treasury. The courts may decide it in
favor of the importers, and that decis-
ion will be final and respected. The
matter Is not one about which TO get
unduly excited OF on which to exploit

reaches its glorious noontide in the happy
mother. Happy motherhood is a true wo-
mans loftiest ambition. Her highest pride
IS in her fitness to fulfill this grand and
sacred destiny. Nothing so clouds and
darkens her existence as TO be incapaci-
tated for this noblest of womanly functions
by weakness or disease.
Awoman who suffers from any ailment of
the delicate special organism Of her sex,
feels something more than pain and physi-
cal wretchedness She is mortified with a
sense Of womanly incompleteness.
But no woman need remain under this
cloud of misery and dissatisfaction. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription positively
cures all diseased conditions and weak
nesses, and restores complete health and
strength to the feminine organs.
II is the only medicine of its kind devised
for this one purpose by an educated and ex-
perienced physician, and eminent specialist
in this particular field Of practice.
II is the only medicine which can be relied

+" cannot say too much for Dr. Pierces Favor

Bridgeport Montgomery Co, Penn'a. "I feel il
my duty to say TO all women who may be suffer
ing from any disease of the womb that il is the
best medicine on earth for them TO use. I cannot
praise il too highly for the good it did me If
any one doubts this give them my name and

ROLL oF MENDACITY.

II is thirty years and over since the
war of the rebellion closed, and yet the
pension roll OF the United States con-
tinues to grow at a rapid rate. 1t has
now almost reached the 100000 mark
Commissioner Evans has just issued a
statement showing that, at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year, the pensioners
numbered just 9SS, ,52S, an increase Of
1880 for the past year. During that
year SO, ,10l new pensions were granted
and 1871 persons were restored to the
rolls. Old age and disease, however, is
working great inroads into the lists for
there were 81 $50 deaths during the
year. Other sources Of loss were 1,O74
from remarriage of widows; 1,S45 or
phans attained majority; 1858 failures
to claim pensions, and 1850 from un-
recorded causes.
The present Republican administra-
tion will endeavor to make record as
the friend of the old soldier, and we
have no doubt that under it's fostering
care the roll will reach the 100000
mark What was in its incipiency a
roll OF honor has degenerated until it
has become to a large degree roll of
mendaclty. This is admitted by many
old soldiers who deplore the influences
and methods ussd to make undeserving
men, women and children the willing
recipients of public charity.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
TEMPERANcE LAWS I'M GERMANl

A considerable number of German
towns and villages have for some time
subjected their bibulous inhabitants to
the regulations of a modified prohibi-
tion law. This not only restricts the
time for the sale of all kinds of liquor,
and the hours of public restaurants and
places of amusement, but exercises a

Persons who neglect their families on
account of drinking, or who have been
repeatedly brought before the magls-
trate as drunk and disorderly," are
denied the privilege OF procuring alco-
holic beverages.
A "drunkards' list" published peri
odically, exhibits their names and oc-
cupations, and copies of it are sent to
local innkeepers and liquor dealers, who
are liable to heavy fines if they sell
liquor to those mentioned in the list,
which is placed on the wall of the res

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF DR.. CALDWELL
EX-PRESIDENT OF DELAWARE
COLLEGE REPORTED DEAD Al
HIS DOVER HOME.

A report reached here this afternoon
that Rev. j. H. Caldwell, ID. D., who has
been quite i'll for several weeks, had
died at his home, at Dover. The report
could not be verified in time, although
friends of the doctor declared that they
had expected his death after his last
severe illness.
DR.. Caldwell is an ex-pastor of st.
Paurs NJ E. Church, from which he
was called about 1884, to be president
of Delaware College, which position ne
held until 1888.
DR.. Caldwell's wide experience as tu-
tor ana minister in various parts of the
country made him leader in the Meth
odist ministry and in educational cir
cles. He asked to be located in 1898,
because of ill-health in consequence OF
his advanced years, and selected Dover
as his place of abode.
A son-in-law of DR.. Caldwell is Rev.
V. S. Collins, of Georgetown. Mrs.
Caldwell is in feeble health.

Will AppIcKs BE pRoPPEp?

WILL ADDICKS BE DROPPED?
The Sussex Republican is edited by
Robert G. Houston, who was the regu-
lar Republican candidate for congress-
man last Fall. AS one of the leaders Of
that wing of. the Republican party, he
is prlvy to their purposes, and his edi-
torials voice to a certain de
gree their demands In an edi-
torial which appeared on Saturday he
intimates that the only way to restore
harmony is to remove the cause of dis
sension.
This is equivalent to a demand for
the head OF ]. Edward Addicks, and II
Is so unqualified and cold-blooded thati,
cannot be ignored Mr.. Addicks is not
the man to permit himself to be sacri-
feed if he can help It. and we are oi
the opinion that the Union Republic
can party will soon be divided into two
factions, one of which will want {
keep Mr.. Addicks in the lead and th'
other of which will want to retire him
This is undoubtedly the game that th'
regular Republicans are playing. ans
its effects are already manifest in Ger
tain directions. But it is safe to asser
that Mr.. Addicks will retain enough o
his followers to defeat all the design
OF the regular Republicans when
comes to the general election.

AN ALASKAN PENAL COLONY.


Julius Hefdingsfeld, of New Bruins
wick, N. j.. announces his determina-
ticn to impress upon the nation,
through Congressman Howell. Of his
state, a scheme for the establishment
Of penal colony in Alaska. He wishes
to establish an American Siberia on
humanitarian principles He would
send all the Federal prisoners to the
mining regions to dig gold, and would
work the mines Systematically by
prison labor. The prisoners are to be
paid regular mining wages, to be used
first, TO pay the expenses Of transpor-
tation and support; second, to pay for
the support Of ,heir families, and third
to establish a fund by which, upon ex-
piration of their terms of imprison-
ment, they might become self-suppOrt-
ing and respected members OF
society at home Beside accomplishing
al These good things. the gov
ernment would be relieved of the bur
den Of support of its Federal prisoners
Mr.. Heidingsfeld has proposed an ole
scheme with modern variation, but HI
has apparently seen only one side o
the shield. He has not reckoned will
the Arctic climate, nor taken into ac
count the possibility that the mining
business might not be UNIVERSAL.
/ profitable He has not considered tn
expense Of policing penal institution
far removed from the source of authori
ties, nor the great first cost of putting
his scheme into execution, although h
advocates an expert government com
mission to locate claims for all the Fed
eral prisoners in this country-a wOr
which he estimates would cost 500, 00C
But more than all these, he has over
looked the moral degeneracy whic
would be likely to follow the establish
ment of a penal colony in a gold-prc
ducing country. by bringing tOgethe
