General Lawton's retirement, the Speaker
says;
The movement appears on reflection,
natural, as any other course would BE-
folly. The campaign up to now Is jusiI-
fed by the cause. The real signohcance
of the apparent check is to be looked for
in America Itself There Is little doub.

THE LOGICAL RESULT
OF THE SITUATION.
Senator PenroAe Says Governor Was
Bound to Appoint Quay and the
Senate VIII Seat Him.


PHILADELPHIA. April a-Unlted
States Senator Bolcs Penroso said in re-.
gard 70 the appointment Of Senator
Quay:
The appointment OF Senator Quay By

situation. Mf. Quay's leadership in the
republican party and his candidacy for
reelection for senator were made issues
IN the gubernatoriai campaign OF last
failby the democratic party, and 4, was
that action Of the republican party on
election day which generally turned I'm

The republican candidate for governor

representation and ylllihcation. was
elected By great plurality. and Mr..
Quay's candidacy-thls issue having been
forced by the opposition. was Indirectly
sustained by the people Of the state
quay having been the choice OF the
party a. evidenced at the Nsyenlber
election and In the senatorial caucus
and his failure 10 be elected was the
resuh Of treason and treachery to the
party by a boiling minority. and the
apprehension felt by some that the state
might suffer by only being represented
by only one senator Is the cause Of the
appointment.
The governor would not have made
the appointment had he not been con.
yinced OF his authority by law and prece-
dent. The precedents on this point In
the senate have been somewhat CONFLICT
ng. The early preccden;s are al IN
favor OF this power. while a few OF the
later precedents have apparently been
against Il. In the senate some OF the
aOlest lawyers In the body are divided
on the question.
As a matter OF fact. the senate not
being a judicial body. Is avowedly not
bound by its precedcnts. Gases Of this
character In the past have been decided
largely on personal grounds, and in com
pliance with the wishes ard exlgencies
OF the party In the majority Mr Quay
has remarkable personal strength With
senators In both parties. and the senate
Is republican By a considerable major

Sound and Refreshing Sleep Fol1Sw
Use Of Simple Remedy.

OF all the Ills to which human flesh is
heir, perhaps the most wearing and mis-
cradle is that inability to sleep, which
doctors call Insomnia. Sleep is more
necessary than food. A man would
perish from want of sleep sooner than
from lack of food.
1t becomes, then, a matter or the deep
est Importance to know of some simple
remedy which will seal our eyes in sweet
forgetfulness. 1t is needless to reproduce
the letters, letters which come in hum
dreds, but we may mention the case of q
lady in Massachusetts, who for six long
years suffered from nervous ~prostration
and insomnia.
The most famous doctors tried, and
tried in vain, to bring refreshing sleep
to her tired faculties until at last, under
the advice of her physician, for she was
a strict temperance woman, she tried
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and now she
sleeps as calmly and as soundly as a lit
tie child.

while Mrs. Chase has always been
staunch in her temperance principles and
consistent in practice, she has no hesita-
ton in recommending to invalids, who
