SO absorbed the entire attention of
the House, that the one hour rule
was ignored, and he spoke nearly
two, the speaker confessing that he
was so absorbed as to be uncon-
scious of the lapse of time. And
John Quincy Adams said, no one
could now attack Gen. jackson
without denying the necessity which
was said to have existed for pro-
claiming martial law.
Some time subsequent to the de-
livery Of this speech, an incident oc-
Cured at the Hermitage which is
worth mentioning in connection
with this subject.
At a convention held at Nash
vile, Judge Douglas was present,
aud he together with a few others,
concluded to pay a visit to Gen.
Jackson at the Hermitage, only IL
miles distant. When Judge Doug.
las was introduced to the General,
the old hero gazed for q moment in.

ing his hand, said
''Are you Mr.. Douglas, of Illinois,
who delivered speech last session
on the subject of the fine imposed
on me for declaring martial law at
New Orleans" 81 have delivered
speech in the House upon the sub
jeet," was the modest reply of Doug
las. "Then stop and sit down here
beside me-" said jackson. 81 de-
sire to return you my thanks for
that speech. You are the first man
that has ever relieved my mind on
q subject which has rested upon it
for thirty years. Ny enemies have
always charged me with vio-
lAting the constitution of my
country by declaring martial law at
New Orleans, and my friends have
always admitted the violation, but
have contended that circumstances
justified me in that violation.

that the performance of a solemn
duty to my coantry-a duty which
if l had neglected would have made
ne traitor in the sight of God and
man-could properly be pronounced
violation of the constitution.
felt convinced in my own mind that
! was not guilty of such heinous
offence, but I could never make out
a legal justification of my course,
nor has it ever been done, sir, until
you, on the floor of Congress estab-
lished it beyond the possibility of
cayil or doubt. l thank you, sir,
for that speech. 1t has relieved my
mind from the only circumstance
that rested painfully upon it.
Throughout my whole life l never
performed an official act which
viewed as a violation of the consti.
tuition of my country, and l can now
go down to the grave in peace.
Thus spoke the old hero his coun-
tenance frightened by emotions i'm.
possible for us to describe. Douglas
was speeches.. He could not reply
but convulsively shaking the aged
veteran s hand, he rose and left the
room. Certainly Gen. jackson had
paid him the highest compliment he
could have bestowed on any indi-
vidual.

Weak, bilious dyspeptic women are
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity. They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition. The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease germs.
The true antidote for this condition is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious Impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body. building up
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.
Mrs. Ella Howell of Derby, Perry Co., Ind,
writes: " In the year of 1894 was taken with
stomach trouble-nervous dyspepsia. There was
a GOODNESS in my stomach, and weight which
seemed like rock. Everything that ate gave
great pain; I had bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach had a ridge
around my right side, and in a short time 1 was
tloated. was treated by three of our best ply
sicians but got relief. was weak could
not walk across the room without assistance.
Then DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery was
recommended to me and got it, and commenced
the use Of it. / began to improve very fast after
the use of few bottles. The physicians said my
disease was leading into pulmonary consump-
ton, and gave me up TO die. thank God that
my cure is permanent"

OUTSIDERS AND INSIDERS.

So all this dissension in the police
department, this perpetual contention
and quarreling." has been caused by
outsiders" This is interesting.
And some of these outsiders" are in
authority and some are out? The plot
continues to thicken. Then the chief
has been awfully mistreated, poor
man.
If outsiders" turned down eight first
class policemen last May for no other
reason than that those policemen were
distasteful to the chief. those "outsid-
ers" ought to be ashamed of them
selves.
If outsiders" placed eight new men
on the force without legal authority, it
was an imposition on the chief. He
should have resented it.
And since outsiders reduced to the
ranks two sergeants whom the courts
had ordered restored to duty, the for
bearance of the chief IS noteworthy.
Under such provocation it is wonder
he didn't run in every outsider in the
city.
The secret Of the business is out. The
chiefs wishes have been insolently an
ticipated by outsiders.

cRITICIsING TIE ESSAY.

Director of the Mint Roberts has dis
gusted even some of the leading gold
bugs of the country by filing a stump
speech as his annual report. The New
York Times calls it IAN essay on the
theoretic advantages of an information
al bimetallic standard to be secured by
agreement between the chief financial
powers
The Times refutes the statement in
the report that the Wolcott commits
sion failed on account of the refusal Of
the government of India to join in the
movement" 1t says that no one con-
nected with the administration expect
ed anything to come of the trip abroad.
THE commissions journey was simply
made to enable Mr. Mckinley to saw
that he had carried out the party plat
form. 1t accomplished that purpose and
no other, and can hardly have been ex-
pected to do more. 1t would have been
well to dismiss it at that"
Director Roberts is trying to revive
that exploded theory of international
bimetallism which Wolcott gave up as
a bad job, which President Mckinley
has forsaken and Chairman Hanna has
acknowledged was simply a sop thrown
out at st. Louis.

TARIFF AND THE COLONIES.

The tariff policy of the administration
in relation to the colonies taken and
afterwards purchased from Spain is a
rather ludicrous attempt to harmonic
Republican protective ideas with terri
torial expansion.
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee, hailed everywhere as
the great apostle of protection, tries to
explain what is meant by an open
door" which is virtually closed. The
policy of the party in power, according
to Mr. Dingley, is to continue the tariff
on imports from the islands as it has
been, to prohibit foreign ships from
taking part in our co. trade. The
open door, also means that imports
from all countries are to be admitted
on the same terms as imports from the
mother country. AS applied to the
Philippines, it would mean that imports
from Great Britain and all other for
elgn countries are to be admitted at the
same rates of duty as imports from the
United States.
Will Mr.. Dingley be kind enough to
explain how it is proposed to govern the
new territories? They contain millions
OF people, thousands of taxpayers. and
during the next few years the popula-
ton will increase at a wonderful ratio
These people will be governed. taxed
subjected to federal legislation. Are
they to have no representation. no
recognition as fellow citizens, no stand
ing in the Union, of which they are
certainly part? If it is not the pur-
pose of this government to imppse
taxation without representation, how
can the policy of the open door" as
defined by Mr.. Dingley, be carried
out?
The constitution expressly provides
that the duties shall be uniform within
the United States. Then, how can alb
solute free trade between different
parts of this republic, as contemplated
in the constitution, be maintained, if
duties are to be imposed and trade re-
stricted to certain carriers?
Protectionists are in close quarters
just now, trying to evade the constitu-
ton in order to have it appear that they
are protecting the laborer of the
states against the coolie of the islands.

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
The Origin of Cocktail,

Few people says a writer in Pearson's
London Weekly, are aware of the origin
of the magic American word Cocktail
the mere utterance of which is sufficient
to bring a look of happiness TO the fea-
lures of any we'll conditioned American
citizen. The word comes from Mexico,
where pulque a kind of liquor obtained
from the cactus, is the national tipple
The Aztec word for pulque is pronounced
"octel," and the American army which
under General Scott, invaded Mexico some
fifty years ago corrupted the word into
.'coctail, and carried it back to the
United States.
There is a tradition that pulque was dis
covered by one of Montezuma's mobiles,
who sent it to the emperor by the hand
of his daughter Octel. The monarch tasted
the liquor. looked at the maiden smiled
and thereuDon gulped it down. 1t not
only tickled his palate. but touched his
heart, and it is reported that he married
the girl. From that day to this the Mexi-
cans have kept themselves well supplied
with pulque, and when drinking together
invariably look and smile at one another
before swallowing.
Yankees. the writer tells his English
readers, have adopted a similar custom
when imbibing their whisky and fire.

KEY TO THE EAST INDIES.

Little has been said of Palawan, the
long island at the gate of the East In
dies, which has been selected by our
naval experts as the naval station of
our Asiatic fleet.
In describing it for the Chicago Rec
ord, William e. Curtis says that it is
about 800 miles long, but very narrow.
''At some places it is only five miles be-
tween the two coasts. 1t is covered
with a magnificent forest Of great
value. Like most of the Philippines, it
has a central mountain chain, extend
ing in the direction of its greatest
length. The only civilized settlement
is a penal colony at Puerto Prncessa.
the capital, with a. military garrison.
There is a fine harbor and the town is
surrounded by a fertile country
The natives are divided into three
tribes: The Noros, who are Moham-
medans; the Pattacks, who roam in the
north, and the Tagbanaus, who occupy
the central portion near the civilized
elements, are said to be very intelligent
and superior class of Malays. Thew
practice agriculture so far as neces-
sary, and have houses made of bamboo
pole and palm leaves. But most of their
time is spent in the forest hunting, fish
ing and searching for wild honey. Each
tribe has a local government, presided
over by a petty magistrate, and the
Office is hereditary. The affairs of each
community are directed by a council of
elders, who administer Justice accord
ing to their own IDEAS. The Spaniards
have never attempted to civilize them,

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

1t is due to the city, to the schools.
and to the board of education, that
earnest. honest work in behalf of the
city schools 5e recognized and encour-
aged.
The present board has shown excep-
tional ability and interest in this di-
rection, and the progress of the schools
under its direction has been very salts
factory. For this reason as many of
the cd board should be returned as
possible.
Three mass-conventions have been
held already. Mr.. Bamberger was re-
nominated in the Fifth ward last night.
1t was a wise selection. He is a pub
lic-spirited and progressive man, up-to-
date and interested in the improvement
OF the city and state In the other two
conventions neither OF the present in
eumbents were renominated, but it was
because they could not see their way
clear TO serve the people again in this
capacity. Mr.. Cotton, in the Second,
and Mr.. Whitney, in the Fourth, are
valuable members of the board, and
their declination to continue in the
work was heard with regret.
Conventions are yet to be held in the
First and Third precincts, each of
which is ably represented as the board
now stands. Mr.. Newman is a conser-
vative official, in favor of advance
ment when sure of his ground He is
well liked and congeniai to the other
members. Nj. Critchlow is a man of
experience, education and legal ability,
and his record on the board entities
him to favorable consideration.
The schools should be kept out of
politics, and politics should be kept out
of the schools; the best way to accom-
plish this result is to recognize worth
and work on the board of education,
regardless Of partisan or personal pref
erences
In such positions the schools demand,
and the public wants the very best
available ability.

THE CHIEF DANGER.

When Secretary Bliss approved the
Uintah leases he became party to an
infamous deal. He was not ignorant of
the law or the rights of the people, yet
he disregarded them both He knew the
legal inability Of the Indian to execute
such a lease, and he knew the weak
ness of the red man otherwise, and he
not only permitted, but authorized, an
advantage 20 be taken.
In dealing with the Indians, the sec
rotary of the interior represents the
government in a dual capacity. He is
guardian of the nations wards and Gus
todian of the public lands.
The Uintah Utes had no interest in
their reservation they could dispose of,
except in the way of growing crops.
The soil could be cultivated and the
produce sold without impoverishing the
land or depriving it permanently of any
value. Not so with minerals. The
syndicate that mines and ships the
mineral wealth of the reservation away
is depriving it of that much value. The
secretary once took this same posi-
ton.
AS the custodian of government. prop
erty, which the courts have held is not
on the market for lease or sale, Secre-
tary Bliss had no right to approve of
its unlawful disposition by the wards
under his supervision
a bill was introduced in the last con
gress empowering him to ratify such
leases, but it was voted down. Still,
the secretary has gone ahead as if the
bill had been passed, and has done the
very things which, by a negative vote
congress said he should not do.
This is the most serious phase of the
question. More harm can come out of
the disposition and ability of members
of the cabinet to disregard the ex-
pressed wishes of congress, to abrogate
the law, than will result from the rob-
berry of Utah and Colorado IN the ela.er-
tie deal just closed

ANTI-SCRIP LEGISLATION.

Colorado business men, especially
those of Las Animas, Huerfano and
other counties where the miners are
paid in scrip, are demanding the aboli
ton Of the system, and petitioning
members Of the coming legislature to
pass an anti-scrip bill.
This is a matter that has been dis
cussed by the legislators of Utah, but
they have never yet been able to agree
upon measure. 1t is conceded that
while there is no excuse for a contin-
uance of scrip-payments in some local
tiles, there are others, notably in the
southern part of the state, where such
a medium of exchange is almost indis-
pensable.
1t is not in the mining camps of Utah
that the necessity for scrip is urged;
wherever there is. a regular payroll the
people are able to get along with the
currency in circulation; but in some of
the more remote farming communities,
where payday comes only two or three
times a year. business men have not
only found it convenient to use scrip,

Senator Rawlins knows exactly what
he is talking about when he saws that
the fight against Roberts was a parti-
san fight. That is exactly how it be-
gan. It degenerated into a personal
fight. Then it branched out into a cru
SADIE against the methods of training
children in Utah. Since the election,
the attacks have been upon the church
and upon the people, charging them
with performing plural marriage cere-
monies and contracting plural mar
riages right along. Since the opposi-
ton adopted this plan of warfare, all
sight of the personal contest has been
lost. But it began for partisan effect
without a doubt.
