Consistent and Courageous.

With the longest record in the
United States senate ever attained,
with joint service in the two
branches of congress which for length
has never been paralleled, Senator
Justin S. Morrill, performed on
Wednesday, an act which was with
out precedent in that career. He
has been consistent member of the
republican party since its formation.
For the first time since he came to
congress. over forty years ago, he
voted with the democrats when he
was the only republican senator so
counted. Upon the question of
Hawaiian annexation Senator Nor.
rill voted in the negative, and was
the single republican who did so.
When this session of congress began
Senator Morrill, had company in his
party of senators who were opposed
to annexation. The course of events
carried them over to the side of an
nexation and left him alone. AS
rugged in his convictions as the
Green Mountains, Senator Morrill,
was unaffected by the new conditions
and remained to the last in the COM
pany of the strangest lot of bedfel-
lows he ever associated WITH St.
Louis obe.Dtmocrat.
Capt. Clark and the Oregon.
If the battle must have a personal
hero it is Capt. Clark of the Oregon,
but Capt. Clark has been doing his
duty at the ends of the earth for a
good many years, and he had no
time to organize literary bureau or
political pull. TWAS accident that

of Treatment but Now They are
Healed "A Wonderful Work.

Healed A Wonderful! Work.
"For many years l have been great
sufferer with varicose veins on one of my
limbs. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When l stood up could
feel the blood rushing down the veins of
this limb. One day accidentally hit my
foot against some object and sore broke
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed blood purifier and began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla. In a short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
m. SC much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and in short time my limb was
completely healed and the sores gave me
no more pain. I cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, has done for me-" MRS. A. E.

RATE DECENTRALIZATION
GRAIN NEVER CARRIED AT LOWER
FIGURES THAN AT PRESENT.
A Large Passenger Business Expected
This FaII-Preparing for the
Onicial Inspection Trips.

A freight traffic manager of nearly thirty
years experience said. yesterday. that. in
his long career he had never known grain
carried from the West to the seaboard at
as low a rate as at present, and the most
remarkable thing about the situation u.s.
that the heretofore conservative Pennsyl
vania is carrying business at as low rates
as any competitor, reversing the policy of
the late President George Roberts and meet
ing competition at all points regardless Of
rates. II am satisfied" said he, that the
Big Four. in connection with the CheSa-
peake Ohio, is carrying grain from st.
Louis to Newport News at 10 cents per one
hundred pounds; that the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern, in connection with the Bal
timore g. Ohio, is carrying grain from st.
Louis to Baltimore at 10 cents per one hum
dred pounds. and the immense business of
the Vandalia, in connection with the Penn
sylvania lines, convinces me that it is car
Fying grain at the same rate. 1 know that
representatives of the Pennsylvania lines
West have been instructed to get the bust
ness and meet any rate named by Compel
ing lines. The only salvation for the roads
IS that other classes of freight are carried
at rates which leave some profit above
actual cost of transportation. I fear, how
ever. that rates on provisions will again go
to pieces, although restored to tariff but
a few days ago. Another favorable feature
Of the situation is that west-bound bust
ness is heavy beyond precedent in Septem-
Der, and rates west-bound are very salts
factory and well held"
When asked the reason for such a state
of affairs he said THAI the only reason he
had yet heard assigned was that it was
done to meet the competition which the
Illinois Central the Port Arthur and other
gulf lines were giving them on export bust
ness. the Eastern lines taking the position
that it was well at the onset to give the
gulf lines to understand that the Eastern
lines intended to get their share of the
business.

DUTY ON PROVISIONS.
United States Must Pay on All Sup
plies Sent to Havana.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA cable
message was received from Havana to-day
stating that the Spanish authorities abso-
lutely refused to allow the Ccmel to land
the provisions which she carried for the
starving Inhabitants of Cuba. unless the
full duty was paid. Secretary Alger there
upon ordered the duties On the million
rations to be paid and directed that they be
distributed under the supervision of the
United States officers. Whatever opinion
the department might have of the action of
the Spanish authorities, it is believed that
the United States cannot afford to allow
the people who are hungry to suffer be-
cause the Spaniards insist on the payment
OF the full duty.
1t is also stated by the secretary that the
United States insists on conformity to it's
orders where 1t holds possession and the
authority of Spain in Cuba must oe recog-
nized where its flag still waves.
