LATEST developments indicate that
the limit of congressional patience has

clared unless Spain recedes from her
position and grants absolute indie
pendence to Cuba Nothing short of

congressional proceedings Tuesday
and Wednesday when a flood of reso-
lutions for Intervention or war poured
in, and by a conference of fifty Repub-
lican members of Congress held. Dis

no longer delay the crisis, and his
chief ally, Speaker Reed, for once
finds himself a Samson shorn of his

houses OF Congress-from Repu blicans,
Democrats, silver Republicans and
Populists- All think the day of reck-
oning and time for decisive action has
arrived. Representative Marsh in his
resolution used the language of the
resolution declaring war against Eng
land in 1872, substituting Spain for
England. Senator Foraker's resolu-
ton was brief and pointed, recogniz-
ing the independence of Cuba and de-
claring for intervention. 1t authoriz-

In Memory of Sim H. Arnold.
heard this morning at dawns earliest ray,
By a place so happy, death had called that
way.
My heart sped on wings to the home of the
friend,
1 thought how gladly some help would lend
But am as helpless as those who weep
BY the bier of the son who lies asleep,
While WHISPERED by those who knew him In
life,
Heaven pity the family, poor ThOmps and
his wife.
We know it was God who called for your son
Even from this we shr lex ever and anon.
The DEGREES of Master are hard to obey,
When they are ours who fall in the sickles way
Why was he called in the Spring time of his
age?
Reason offers in his stead sage.
The oak and the rose are exposed to this toucL'
Mani Id and youth must surrender as such.
All who live must share his fate,
Twixt the morn of life and the evening late.
He was honest, manly and his word was good,
Not one of these, would change if could.
Be guided by this onward tread,
The cloud will move, you will see ahead.
Look beyond the grave to the home OF his God,
Meekly bow and kiss the rod.
Written in memory of poor, dear Sim,
By a friend who loved him, and his name is

these that SO much time has been lost

neys.

We Know
By Experience

Wise men use the experience OF others
and make it their own.
Those who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
speak of its merits.
Thousands of these people say Hoods
Sarsaparilla has cured them.
The testimonials of cures by Hoods
constitute vast mass of testimony which
proves the power of this medicine to cure
a great variety of diseases.
These cures often seem marvellous, yet
they are perfectly natural and are easily
explained. They are the necessary result
of purifying and enriching the blood.
Pure blood is the foundation of health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and cures disease by purifying
and enriching the blood.
1t possesses peculiar curative power,
that is, it cures when other medicines
cannot cure, because it is peculiar in COM
bination, proportion and process.
That is all there is to be explained about
the cures by Hoods SarsaparilIa.
If you have faithfully tried Hoods Sar-
saparilla you know how it is yourself; if
you have not tried it, why not do so today?
"I have been troubled with scrofula all
my life, and it affected my eyes so that I
was obliged to remain in dark room. I
began taking Hoods SarsaparilIa. Now
my eyes are so strong that the light never
troubles me, and my health is good"

THE PLAGUE IN HONGKONG.

LOG Cases and 81 Deaths.

The total number of plague cases in
Hongkong reported from the com

WAR FAKES.

While the American people are al
most iubilant, as we'll they may be, IN
the cause of a war for humanity, some
of the sober kind are asking how snail
the war bills be met.
The vast proportions of the great
Civil war put immediate taxation Tor
# entirely out of the question. 1t was
iustly felt that the generation that
gave I'D its blood and time to the cause
had the right to call on PROSPERITY TO
toxic some of the burden. When the
war expenses reached over $3'oOo'Ooo
per day, the burden of paying the IN
forest on that amount was enough Tor
the fighting generation to bear.
Rut the sentiment prevailing now In
the States is, that the Cuban case calls
for the maxim, pay as you 60" NO
doubt it will be largely practiced. Tenn
norarv loans may be resorted to, but
the temperament of the people is to
avoid debt
Unless the war terminates speedily
the expenses of prosecuting 1T may
reach half a million per day. In re-
ferring to the daily expenses OF the
great Civil war, the cost of it was esti-
mated in paper money, which forced
cold to an enormous premium. 1t Is
evidently not the intention of the Gov
eminent to let gold go to any premium,
While the silvermen, in Congress are
patriotic and heartily agree in the war
policy, there are symptoms of their IN
tention to push the silver question to
the front, if there is need Of issuing
bonds. Their strength is probably
sufficient to make the bonds payable in
silver, or give notice to the world that
there will be doubt about the coin in
which the interest and principal will
be paid.
To avoid any issue of this kind. the
President, and the gold men, will press
the scheme of sufficient taxation, with
the power to issue temporary bonds.

THE HOUSE I'm ARMS"

Some members of the House on Mon
day enjoyed a scrapple for few mo-
ments, owing to what they agreed, aft
er they had hunted up and got back
their lost tempers, was a little mis-
understanding" Representative Rob
ertson intimated in the debate on the
Income Tax bill, that moneyed inter
ests were at work endeavOring to de-
feat it, This at once brought the sen
sitive Loebenstein to his feet. He felt
that the House was young girl whose
reputation must not be trifed with.
The intimation that Doodle fluid could
find it's way into the water-tight COM
partments of Legislative virtue, de-
manded, in his opinion, the severest
rebuke. Mr.. Robertson's remarks, he
believed, were mud balls. thrown on
the chaste and spotless white robes of
the Houses character. He at once
made remarks that indicated that he
would like to have the Speaker order a
tub of boiling oil into the House, and
direct the Sargeant-atArms to souse
Mr.. Robertson into it before the mem
bers.
Mr.. Loebenstein is the same person
who, a few weeks ago, as member or
the House, charged President Dole and
the Government with violating the
Constitution and laws. At the time 1t
was supposed by some that he was
merely playful, and his accusations OF
treason were only the fiery little jets OF
a temperament that had been fed on
the hot lavas of Kilauea. But 1T seems
that the honorable member had been
reading Mark Twain's Joan of Arc, and
he felt that male of that persuasion
was a ''long felt want in these parts
as a check upon the perfidious Govern
Ynent. So he offered to represent that
heroic character, and did so until the
House got tired of his heroics.
1t is rather amusing to see man
who without offering a particle OF
proof. charged the Executive with IN
famous crimes, suddenly becoming
frantic. when a fellow member OBJ
scurely intimates that the rich men
have placed a little basket full OF
nickels somewhere on the Legislative
premises, just as crackers and cheese
are placed in convenient places in the
saloons, and the members are request
ed to help themselves.
The Speaker of the House was IN
error. when he failed to order the
Sergeant alarms to throw five pounds
of Scotch snuff into the air, and set the
belligerent members to sneezing. A
man who is sneezing usual lets go MS
hold. and doesn't look statesmanlike or
pretty.
But the Attorney General came in
with a tank of OIL and let it loose on
the raging legislative pond. There was
a great calm.
Tt is a matter of regret that all this
was not done by appointment, and the
school children invited to see the cir
Gus. Let them see, once in while
the statesmen flying at each other.
