II not more, than last winter / have so
many sick-in some cases three and four

are 10 be enlarged by the bill. but the
81 600 would be saved TO the State. He
added that he did not believe the ex-
penses FOR mileage would be increased
to any large extent and he did not be-
lieve the difference would be more than
s25 a year. and then he could not tell
which way the difference would fall He
did not believe that a division OF the
circuit would cause any great inconveni-
ence. because there was but n small
amount Of court business In the counties
belonging at present 10 the Tenth circuit.
Senator Wallace appeared in opposition
TO the measure and stated that tho peo-
pie OF the circuit. and especially the law
yers. did not favor any division Of the
circuit. which would greatly inconveni-
ence all who had legal business at the
Circuit Court. because they would have
10 travel additional distances and thereby
have 10 meet extra expenses.
The committee then went into executive
session. and after considerable discus
sion II was decided to report the bill with
the recommendation that IT do not pass.

HAWAII'S AVAILABILITY
BExyY COsT or DEFENSE WITHOUT
BENEFIT TO THE CoNTJSEHT.
senator white Kidicuies the Idea That
Angio-saxons Could Labor on the
Coffee and Sugar Plantations.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb. 4.-scnatol
White concluded his three days speech
IN opposition to the annexation OF Ia
wall In executive session Of the Senate to-
day
In the beginning OF to-days speech he
made some additional points against the
availability OF Hawaii for defensive pur-
poses. maintaining that II Is hundreds
Of miles from the outside islands of the
gfoup to other Islands. This fact. he
said. demonstrated that numerous points
must be guarded from hostile assault, and
hat a powerful navy would be required
10 accomplish this: tnat this immense ex.
pcnditure would be without benefit TO our
defencCs on the continent.
re declared that as soon as Hawaii
was acquired IT would be contended that
our domains should be extended 10 other
islands. and We would finally embark
upoa the foreign acquisition business. in
volving an outlay OF hundreds OF millions
OF dollars.
LABOR QUESTION
lie then took up tho question OF labor.
contcnding that the Chinese and Japanese
are receiving 81 per month without board.
lie fidlcnlcd the pretension that the An
cio-SaNon race could labor in Hawaiian
SUGAR fields. and demanded 70 know why
II they could. there was no such white
labor on tho islands now. He read from
a recent consular report 10 show That the
co0oe business was at best probemaJcal
and that even IN this work laborers only
receive SIS per month without board.
fic denounced the master and servant
regulations now I'm force I'm the islands as
r. specie Of slavery: said that coffee must
ae produced in competition with the low
os' grade OF pcon toilcrs and that the
time would never come when farm hand
on a coffee plantation would receive the
vnitc mans wages
nc also asserted that the Japanese
nave the same right TO come into the
tinted states enjoyed by other foreign
ers ana that while contract laborers Of
alI kinds are excluded still there is no
obstacle 10 the entry of the ordinary ia
parese laborer VINO complies with our
general immigration laws, and that If
annexation were brought about Oriental
labor would still dominate the situation
m Hawaii.
DIVERTING TRADE.
nc denied as absurd the assertion that
rade would be diverted from the United
States II annexation were not completed.
10 compared the growing trade of Japan
20 thar OF Hawaii. showing that cotton.
Hour and manufactures OF iron and steel
were fast occupying the Japanese mark
cts.
Mr.. White then took up the Hawaiian
government. insisting that II was irreg-
ular and fraud
fie criticised the action OF President
Dole In coming TO Washington at such
a time. He reviewed at length the gem
eral policies and the theories Of our gov
eminent. declared That he question was
above all politics and that II was a step
which II taken. could not add TO our
glory or increase our wealth or be re-
earded as an evidence of our honesty.

feel we'll"
This expression is heard constantly.
Perhaps you, reader, have heard IL and
possibly pou have made 1t yourself. 1t Is
a SAD fact, but fact none the less. that
while the grip IS bad enough and depress-
ing enuogh when in its acute form, 1t is
often worse when II settles in some part
OF the body and continues TO destroy the
health and ruin the lie. DR.. Lombard.
in speaking on this subject recently, said:
at is a wen-known fact, admitted by
all doctors, that grip does settle In the
body and bring distressing effects long
after Il IS apparently cured. But the doc
tors do not always say just where IL
usually settles. 1t should be clearly I'M
derstood. then. that the spots which grip
commonly selects are the kidney and
urinary organs. II is quite natural that II
should do so. for these are the very or
gans that are overwOrked In trying 10
drive the grip out of the system ana
naturally. being overworked, they are
weakened and become an easy prey for
disease"
when these delicate but most import
ant organs are attacked in their weak
ened condition. they cannot throw the
grip from the system without help-good
help. strong help, reliable help. But. you
ask. where can such assistance be Sc
cured? The question is not an easy one.
Many things will help the Kidneys uri-
nary and female organs temporarily. but
II is not temporary help that they need.
They require something strong, some
thing that will seize the grip and cast II
out forever Ordinary medicines will not
accomplish this. II requires scientihc
discovery that can be de-
pended upon absolutely. There Is, 40 far
as we know, so far as the scientific world
knows, but one remedy that fills this re-
quirement. That remedy is Warmers Safe
Cure. II was the most potent factor IN
conquering the grip in Europe. and II has
been the only remeoy that has success
fully removed il after-ehects In America.
Rev. Or. Rankin. president Of Howard
University. Washington. ID. c., says con-
corning this:
~ know Of persons who have been per-
manently cured Of diseases of the kidneys
and adjacent organs by the use Of War

cines. remedies" or "cures," 1t accom-
plishes what no other medicine ever has
accomplished or can accomplish. II cures
people. and. more than all else. 1t re-
moves the terrible after-effects which tive

At the meeting of the City Council this

to general 7. 4. Munford. Of this city, in
view OF which event he desired to call

was General Hampton who saved Lynch

attack Of General David Hunter in 1854.
SHER1DAN'S RAID.
General Grant. stated Mr.. Davis. while
in front of Petersburg, with one hundred
ard fifty thousand men, 10 nifty six thou-
sand men with General Lee. ordered Cen
eral Sheridan with eight thousand cav
airy and FIVE batteries Of flying artillery
to cut the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad

then TO take position on the Amherst
HEIGHTS on the north side Of Lynchburg
with his artillery. while Hunter should
engage the Confederate forces on the
south side.
Hunter made his march on Lynchburg
and after reaching a point near the city.

ton for two days. This delay on Hun
ter's part caused the failure Of the pro-
gram. The occasion OF the NeldN Wd-
that General Lee had been apprised Of
Hunters movements and had sent Cen
eral Wade Hampton to intercept SheT!-
dan.
HAMPTON ATTACKS SHERIDAN.
Hampton had force Of only three
thousand lie caught Sheridan at Tre-'
Williams. where was fought one OF the
bloodiest cavalry battles Of the war.
Sheridan retrcated in the direction OF
Washington.
Meanwhile General Early had reached
Lynchburg in time TO meet and deteat
Hunter who. as stated above. had trlt-
tered away two days awaiting the arrl-
val Of Sheridan Thus, Mr.. Davis SAID,
General Hampton's defeat of Sheridan NJ
Trevillian's, caused the delay OF Huns
ter's attack on Lynchburg, and the de-
layed attack enabled Early 10 reach TINS
city in time to repel the movement. Con-
seduently Hampton deserved TO share
with the late General Early the credit OF
saving Lynchburg from destruction by
the Federal forces.
