BOWELS.

Constipation means not only unhealthy
accumulations in the bowels, but q condi-
tion poisonous to the entire body. 1t gen.
crates foul gases which poison the stomach,
liver, heart, kidneys and blood, thus de-
ranging the whole system. Moreover, it
causes a paralysis in the muscular struct-
ure of the bowels, hence chronic constipa-
tion ensues with all its accompanying evils.
A simple cathartic Is only a temporary
benefit. What is needed to permanently
cure is a tonic that will strengthen the
bowel structure and restore natural
peristaltie movements. PRICKLY ASH BIT-
TIERS has an established reputation OF
many years. standing as a system tonic and
laxative. IT does not purge or grip the
bowels, leaving them weak and helpless,
as do the drastic cathartics. It's action is
gentle yet effectual. II stimulates and
strengthens the bowels, regulates the liver,
tones up the stomach and when there Is
any kidney arrangement it promptly ex-
tends its curative influence to those organs.

President Proctor, of the civil SER
vice commission, tells us that President
Mckinley cannot suspend Or rescind
any of the orders of Cleveland extend
ing the classification service without
himself committing an i~nfraction of the
law. MIR. Proctor is a very positive
man, so positive and conscientious that
it is somewhat remarkable he did not
suggest to Mr.. Cleveland that his ex-
tension of the classified service, after
he had filed all the available Offices
with democratic h%eelers, was one Of
the severest blows ever struck at re-
form Of the civil service. Mr.. Proctor
might have done that, but he dldn't.
1t is said that Mr.. Proctor is strong in
his desire that he be not disturbed in
his present position. He has certainly
shown much skill in avoiding all that
would throw odium upon the
civil service regulations in the form OF
suits pending against those who were
accused of attractions OF the law. In
that he Is an adept.

WHAT KILLED VOORHEES,.

Cleveland's extra session undoubted-
ly killed ex-senator Daniel w. Voor-
hees, of Indiana. No one will ever
know the agony of mind and body en-
dured by Senator Voorhees, in the
famous contest for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act.
As all know, Voorhees, was q sincere
advocate Of the free coinage OF silver.
One OF the first speeches made by him
upon his entering the senate in 1877,
was for free coinage. During that
contest, he was forced, by his position
on the committee on finance, to take
the lead for the administration in sup
port Of the passage of the bill, against
his inclination, against his principles,
all his nature revolving at the equivo-
cal attitude he could not avoid. At
he was almost crazed by the
strain OF the conflict end the deception
he was forced to use In his loyal sup
port Of the behests of the administra
One who knew him as intimate
ly as he ever knew any man in the
world, declares that he had never been
the same man since that useless and
struggle, when prosperity and
were promised as imme-
diate results of the passage OF the bill.

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 10. 1897,
THE TARIFF FIRST.

1t is understood that the steering
committees Of the democratic, populist
and silver republican parties and fac
tions have come to an agreement as to
the reorganization of the committees,
O work that has remained in allegiance
wei since the assembling of congress.
1t Is understood that under this agree
ment the republicans are to get but
thirty of the vacant committee places,
while the opposition are to take seventy.
The republicans are to get the six va
cant chairmanships. The three vacan-
cies on the appropriation committee
having been made by the retirement of
democrats will all 60 to democrats.
The vacancies on the finance commit
tee, made by the retirement of Secre-
tary Sherman and the late Daniel w.
Voorhees,, will be filed one by a re-
publican, the other by a democrat.
The committee will stand then as il
does now, for protection and the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 10 1.
Whether the understanding here out
lined is to extend to other matters than
the reorganization Of the committees
has not been authoritatively stated, but
1t is believed that it does so extend,
though the tariff certainly is not n
of the matters included. The republic
pans do not appear disturbed over the
outlook. In fact, they do not believe
that a coalition against them has been
entered into, or that if one has been
devised, that 1t can be successfully
maintained and carried out. They
feel the easier because they do not in
tend to try to push to a conclusion any
legislation except the tariff bill at this
session.

THE o OF LENT.


Easter day on which all the rest
depend Is always the first Sunday after
the full moon, which happens upon or
the next after the 21st day Of March,
and II the full moon happens upon a
Sunday, Easter day is tho Sunday after.
Full moon, however, for the purpose
Of the rules Of tables of church movable
and immovabIe feasts, is the fourteenth
day OF q lunar month, reckoned ac-
cording to an ancient ecclesiastical
computation. The beginning Of lent
must always be forty-six days before
Easter, thus providing forty days Of
fasting, exclusive of the six Sundays.
Lent is an old Saxon word, s~ignifying
spring, therefore 1t means In reality
the spring fast. This fast is believed
to be OF Jewish origin, corresponding
with the preparation of the Jews for
the yearly expiration. The number
forty was %anciently appropriated for
seasons of repentance and humiliation.
This was the number of dsys during
which God covered the earth with the
deluge, the..number Of years in which
the children of Israel did penance in
the wilderness, the number of days
that Moses tasted in the Mount. and
Elijah In the wilderness. The Nine
vites had this number Of days allowed
for their repentance, and our Lord,
when He was pleased to fast in the
wilderness, observed the same length OF
time.
