Is more binding upon the agents of their will
than the obligation of immediate action
1t has always seemed to me that the post
ponement Of the meeting of congress until
more than a year after it has been chosen,
deprives congress too often Of the inspiration
of the popular will, and the country of the
corresponding benefits. 1t is evident, there

Of so great necessity would be unwise on
the part Of the executive, because unjust to

problem calmly and periodically without

fellow citizens who disagree with US upon the
character Of this legislation prefer to have the
question settled now, and perhaps settled so
reasonably as to insure great permanence.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Minnesota was
well represented at the inaugural ceremonies

quite a number of Minnesota people here

that nearly all have friends or relatives in
the city. Among the North Star people who

MERCHANT MARINE.
Congress should give prompt attention to
the restoration of our American merchant
marine, once the pride of the seas in all the
great ocean highways of commerce To my
mind, few more important subjects so impera-
lively demand an intelligent consideration.
The United States has progressed with mar
Vicious rapidity in every field of enterprise
and endeavor until we have become foremost
in nearly all the great lines of inland trade
commerce and industry. Yet, while this is
true, our American merchant marine has
been steadily declining until it is now lower,
both in the percentage of tonnage and the
number of vessels employed, than it was
prior to the Civil War. Commemorate pro-
gress has been made of late years in the up
building of the American navy, but we must
supplement these efforts by providing as
a proper consort for it a merchant marine
amply sufficient for our own carrying trade
to foreign countries. The question is one
that appeals both to our business necessities
and the patriotic aspirations of a great peo-
pie.

There Is always more or less suspicion

sometimes man 80 Overhows with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
IL is upon this principal that a resident of
Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free to
mankind prescription which will cure them
of any form of nervous debility relieves
them Of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and YigOr. AS il
costs nothing to try the experiment il would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped TO realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and yigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of untold
misery. AS the remedy in question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring TO men the strength they need, IL
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought TO write for
such remedy at once. A request to II. G.
