AN PARTY'S NATIONAL Committee
And Ex-President of the Mercantile
macs Oldest Citizen Dead.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-Wm. p. st. John.
ex-president of the Mercantile National
Bank and treasurer of the Democratic ma
tional committee. died suddenly at his home
in this city at o'clock last evening. During
the afternoon he suffered an apoplectic
stroke which was followed by several
so broken down after the presidential cam
pafgn that in December he went South for
change of scene and air. Last month, how
ever, he returned to this city, having ex-
perienced no benefit from the trip.
Frederick B. Schenck, Mr.. St. Johns sue
cessor at the Mercantile Bank. said to-day
been sufferer from kidney trouble and
that when he undertook campaign duties
he knew II would be dangerous to his life.
In fact. Mr.. Schenck said. Mr.. st. John
broke down In the middle OF October, when
MS sight began 10 fail and he was obliged
to have an assistant to help him with his
ried. he leaves three married sisters and
three brothers, Alexander Page, Carroll
and Newton st. John; who live in Mobile.

ID. Alexander and his stepmother, who

gave him an academical education. Mr.. ST.
John went to New York city when quite
young man, and soon took charge of the
credit department of the old Sugar Trust
Then he became interested in the Mercan-
tile National Bank. and eventually became
president of that institution. For many
years he was widely known as a close stu
dent of financial problems, and frequently
contributed to current literature on those
subjects. AT nearly all gatherings TO dis
cuss monetary problems Mr.. ST. John was
an easily recognized figure. His tendency
towards free silver sentiments was the rea-
son for much comment among his fellow
bankers In New York city, and when last
year he accepted the office of treasurer of
the allied silver forces he resigned his pv-
sition as president of the bank On the
first of the year Mr.. st. John was dropped
as a director of the Mercantile National

you AND YOUR WORK

We are all the time hearing men
and women, too-talk like this :
my work is too much for me it
worries me and wears me out it
upsets me so I can hardly eat, drink
or sleeps" and so on. Once in a
while, no doubt, that is 80; but COM
monty, it is not their work that
is too much for them, but their poor
health, their weakness. They are
out of sorts in any one or more of a
hundred ways. Condensed the idea
is this: Bad Digestion, Thin Blood,
Loss of Strength and, perhaps Flesh,
Tendency to Fret and Worry over
small things, Melancholy, Lack of
Courage to attend to details and
face risks, etc. In two words, low
vitality. What is needed is a short
course of Wampoie's Preparation
made from Fresh Livers contain
ing the active medicinal principles of
Cod Liver Oil, the Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry Bark. 1t is tonic stimulant
built on the right lines. Pleasant
to the taste, it drives out disease
germs and makes the blood rich. red
and full of constructive elements.
You grow warm, strong and elastic; and
soon find you are enough land to spare) for
any business: Unlike worthless relics Of
q dead medicinal past, the Preparation
does not boast of its age, but of its ex-
cellence. Sold by all druggists.

Mr.. EDWARD RobB, the ccntlc-
man from Perry County, who is
supposed to be looking ont for TIC
interests Of the people i'll the thir-
tccnth congressional! district Of
Missouri in the national House If
Representatives, had an opport',l-
ity last Wednesday to vote for i,
tariff bill which includes an in
crease ii the duty on imported lea |
ores, and which is directly in the
interest of the leading industry Of
the cdistrict Mr.. Ro|,b has already be
gun to misrepresent. During tic
campaign. while Mr.. Robb was
stumping that portion of the dis
trict where lead mining is carried
on. he had nothing to say on the
tariff question, and, like all the
speakers on his side Of politics.
pulled the free silver wool over the
eyes Of the people. Had Mr.. Robb
gone before the people i'll Jefferson,
Washington. St. Francois and Nal
ison counties and boldly stated that
he would oppose an increased dut,'
on lead ores, he would not now be
representing the district; as it was,
he sncakcd around this question
and deceived the people. We
pointed this out to or readers be
fore the election and Washington
County gavea ajority against him.
Mr.. Robb IS first a Democrat aud
then the representative Of the pco-
pic: he could not have voted for the
tariff bill and remained with his
party. He would probably have
voted for the protection Of lead
alone, but his Bourbonism could
not bear the thought that the same
favors should be extended to the
industries Of other sections. there
fore he voted against the interests
OF his own constituents to follow
party policy.

The Passage of the Tariff Ei.'.

The passage Of the tariff bill iii
the House Wednesday puts that
measure through the first stage OF
its career under promising condi
tons. 1t has secured an early start,
and if the Senate shows an idea Of
the importance of speed in dealing
with the bill it may reach the presi
dent long before the close Of the
fiscal year on June 80. Even the
enemies of the bill ought TO realize
the necessity Of putting it on the
statute without unreasonable delay
They are aware. or should be, that
they can not defeat it. Although
the Republicans have not clear
majority Of the Senate, enough
votes OF former Republicans and Of
Democrats arc virtually promised
for tie bill to insure its passage.
As every body knows, the business
uncertainty can not end and the
industrial revival begin until the
tariff changes are made, and there
fore Il policy OF wanton obstruction
would be sure to arouse the popu-
lar wrath against the bills enemies.
Nobody supposes the measure
will have It's present shape in ali
respects when it gets through the
Senate. That body is always apt
to assert lis independence and it:
powers in the matter of tariff lcgis-
Iation. When. i'll 1894, 'he Demo
Gratis controlled both branches of
Congress the Senate amended the
Wilson tariff bill! in 634 places, AMI
insisted on its changes with such
vigor and rertinacity that, after {;
deadlock of many weeks, 1t forced the
House to accept them. although the
House WAS backed by the Presi-
dent. OF course no conflict like
this is looked for at the present
time. The Republicans of the Sen
ate, who lack only one or two vote
of having a majority Of that body,
earnestly desire the bill to he as &c

ceptable as a possible to the coun-
trv. and such changes as they may
create in the measure will lie due
to an honest purpose to improve
the bill where they think the ln-
provcment is needed.
1t appears to be the intention OF
the IIoucc to do thing f,.rtlerinthe
present session except what may
be rendered necessary by the posi-
bic notifications Of the tariff bill
in Tire Senate. The House will 60
through the form ofremailiing IN scs-
sion. and its absicntiou from fur
,her work will probably have the
effect Of hurrying action i'll the
other branch. The sole purpose
Of the session was to pass bill to
furnish more revenne for the gov
crEment and additional protection
for such industries as need it. and
by refusing to do any further work
the House can make this design
plain to tie Senate. Predictions
Is to the S'cnatcs course on any
thing are ordinarily hazardous. bat
it seems safe to :lssunlo thai that
body will in this exigency show an
Intelligent appreciation Of the pop
ulac desire. There is Il fair pro',a-
