the McEnery resolution passed by the
Senate and the Gillette resolution. 1t

by the United States to exercise per-
manent sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over the Philippines, and as
serted the purpose of setting up a
stable form of local government and

Wheeler CD of Kentucky, upon
whose objection the appropriation weni
out Of the sundry civil bill, declared
he would vote against it with great
pleasure. He was opposed to it be-
cause he believed it wrong in principle
and infamous in execution. He de-
clared that the Administration was a
soldier of fortune. 1t lacked the nerve
and pluck to declare it's purposes.
Micawber-l Like, it was waiting for some
thing to turn up. The war begun for
humanity had degenerated into a war
of bloody determination that would
disgrace the pages of history.
Lentz CD of Ohio said he would sup

thought the payment of the money a
terrific blunder.

defeated-27 to 10. Agreement was
reached to vote on the bill and amend

Vermont Whiskers in Congress.

The Washington Post has this to say OF
the hirsute adornments OF Vermont's SEN

Talking about faces, Senator Proctor
uses his countenance for experimental pur.
poses. Just now he is wearing pointed

When he first entered the senate, Mr..
Proctor wore full set of whi,kers, not a,
flowing as PETERS, who used to wrap his
appendage around his waist, nor as profu,e
as Senator S'ewart's Santa Claus beard
Then he disguised himself by having them
entirely cut off, leaving dainty mu acne
After this innovation he let his beard grow
in struggling fashion, as if uncertain wha

Sherman appeared on the floor of the sen

Catarrh Of the lungs is, ordinarily,
known as consumption; also called
tuberculosis. In these cases the catarrh
has usually found its way into the lungs
by the gradual extension of the disease
from the throat through the bronchial
subes. Consumption is the natural
termination Of all cases of neglected
chronic catarrh. Every one who is
afflicted with chronic catarrh is liable
