GENERAL BILLS NAT ARE LAWS.



WASHINGTON, March 4-Several bills Of
general legislation pending when the review
of the legislation of the last congress was
made by the Associated Press a week ago
have become laws since the ummary was
published. The most important OF these
are the army reorganization bill, the navy
personnel bill. the bill providing a code
of laws for Alaska. the omnibus claims bill
and numerous important public building
bills.
The project for the construction of a
canal across the isthmus at Nicaragua made
progress to the extent that a provision was
attached to the river and harbor appropria-
lions providing for a very complete in
quiry into the matter. The addition OF a
provision to the army appropriation bill
forbidding the grant Of property franchises
in Cuba was also an important legislative
act.
Among the more important projects which
failed 70 receive favorable attention in the
closing days were those providing a Pacific
cable; for a government arm0r plant, for
an anti-scalping law; an eight-hour law
and government for Hawaii. The navy per-
sonnet reorganization bill completely reor-
ganizes the navy. The original army bill
j was intended TO meet the same want for
the army supplied TO the navy by the per-
sonnet bill, but it failed and the present
bill is considered defective in that 1t Is
only a temporary measure. It, however,
increases the army to 100000 men and pro-
yides for the retention OF this number until
1 1901.
The omnibus claims bill provides for the
settlement Of several hundred claims, some
Of which are almost a hundred years old.
The Alaskan code also meets a long felt
want in supplying a system OF laws to this
northwest territory.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SIecpIessness that Can
he Overcome.


Mr.. Wm. Handschu Of 10th ST., Cotton Al
ley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself as fol-
lows regarding the new remedy for that
Common and obstinate disease, piles: Il
take pleasure in stating that l was so af-
hicted with piles that for three months / got
no regular sleep; ! became completely pros
tTateG, the doctors qId me no good, my
brother told me Of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure, l purchased Of my
druggists three 80 cent boxes and they com
pletely cured me. / am once more at work
and but for this excellent remedy ! would
be on my back. / take great pleasure in
writing this letter, because so many people
are sufferers from this trouble who. Ike
myself did not know where 20 look for a
permanent, safe, reliable cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated
10 the medical profession, as we'll as 20
thousands Cf sufferers from piles, that IL Is
the safest and most e~fectual pile cure ever
offered TO the public, containing no oplates
or poisons Of any kind, painless and con-
venient 20 handle. and being sold by drug
gists al 50c and Sl.00 per box, is within the
reach Of every sufferer.
Very often two OF three boxes have made
a complete cure Of chOulc cases that had not
yielded 10 other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggFavaf-
ing and obstinate 10 cure than the various
forms Of piles. and it is a common practice
10 use OIuLments, Ealves and Eimilar prep
a]rations containing dangerous poisons TO
remove the trouble. The Pyramid has
superseded all OF these Intellectual remedies
and no one suffering with any rectal
trouble viii make any mistake In giving The
Pyramid a trial.
II in doubt as TO the nature OF your trouble
send TO the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, for a valuable book on piles, describ-
ing am forms OF the disease ana describing
the method OF cure.
ANY druggist can furnish the Pyramid Pile
Cure. as IL HE the best known and most nan

BROTHER ABNER MUCH In EVIL
DENCE.

Reports generally bruited about the
national capital are to the effect that
1t Is hard now to find any government
business in which the presidents
brother Abner does not have a finger.
1t Is asserted that Washingtonians OF
all parties conversant with public af-
fairs are slckened by the spectacle of
the presidents brother playing the
double role of promoter and patronage
dispenser.
The fact is "Brother Abner" is sur
passing Mark Hanna as patronage
dispenser, but he does not possess Han
mas tact and discretion. Abner Nc
Kinley has brazenly made himself a
nuisance around the departments in
Washington, and during the war with
Spain it was openly charged
Washington that the pres
idents brother was interested
In number of army contracts and jobs
which were promoted by him. Abner
always had the entree to the depart
ments when the small army of contrac-
tors and promoters were kept waiting
outside, and he came to be stigmatized
as 'the old man with pull With the
administration" Abner McKinley's

President will not do. Abner has a

better than the President himself.

Educational board, educational board!
Four of you finally spoke in accord;
Selecting superintendent of course,
Just when you concluded to straddle the horse!
The doctor, he voted for Sarver along,
Though Harvey lodged quick when the
danger was strong.
All voted for sarver few months ago
Which helped to elect Cline and Young as we
know!
But being elected it changes the case!
And SO they concluded to fright about facew
No doubt they wish people to think they play
fair;
But right is not right with a W there!
Such tortuous doings are thin to the view
And demonstrate plainly how shallow are you!
Having now said my say, I will bid you
goodbye,
And leave you with Peoples contempt q

WHOSE FAULT?

At a meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce of Cleveland, Tuesday even
ing, Senator Hanna in his speech
touching on politics, admitted that he
is political "boss" and "runs things
according to his own notions, and then
asked the question, "Whose fault is
it?" The senator answers himself by
saying: "The fault of the men who
won't stand shoulder to shoulder with
me, and help me to do the work."
So, this explains it all. This is why
Hanna is "boss" and ''runs things" ac-
cording to his own notions. The boys
have been lazy and have refused to
work. Well, how about this, Senator
Foraker, Governor Bushnell, Robert
McKisson, Mayor Jones, John P. Jones
ct al? Have you really refused to put
your shoulder to shoulder with Senator
Hanna? Have you really refused to
help him to do the work? So after all
it is your fault that Hanna is the "boss"
he is, and "runs things" according to
his own notions. II it is, gentlemen,
you know the remedy-and you should
use it. But then, you must not do pol
itics for "what there is in it," You
must be public spirited, unselfsh, and
patriotic as Hanna is, and then, there
will be no "Boss."

In order to secure an idea of what
avocation in life those who had receiv-
ed a High school education would
follow, the News-Democrat asked the
question of the students who will soon
receive diplomas; "What will you do
after you have graduated?" The
answers to this question published In
yesterdays Democrat were brief and
to the point. Teaching school seems
to be the laudable ambition OF quite a
number, but other professions are not
ignored. Law is the bent OF some,
while journalism has attractions for
others. Medicine is altogether
"tabooed," and the pulpit has not a
candidate among them. This latter
however may not be due to the fact
that the class is not religiously inclined
or that their instructors have been par
tial in shaping their destinies. 1t car
be inferred from the answers given
that the High School is doing good
work in preparing the young men ant
women for some useful occupation II
life, and that the members OF the clas
have not deluded themselves with th'
idea that now there is nothing NOR,
to accomplish.

COMMON LAW AMPLE AGAINST
TRUSTS.

The supreme court of Indiana, in
unanimous decision, has declared that
any act by quasi-public concerns which
retards or destroys competition is un-
lawful on the ground of public policy,
and that the charter of the offending
company may be revoked as penalty.
The decision was rendered upon a
case appealed from the Jay county cir
cult court. Two companies were or
ganized under the laws of the state for
the purpose of piping gas and oil.
These companies operated in the city
of Portland and furnished natural gas
to consumers. 1t appears that they
entered into an agreement to maintain
certain price, and neither would
serve consumer who had been taking
gas from its competitor and for any
reason had ceased to patronize it.
The prosecuting attorney brought
suit to forfeit the corporate powers o.
both companies, alleging that they
were unlawfully combined against the
people and were abusing the right
conferred by the state. The people
were defeated in lower court, but tn,
supreme court has reversed the decis
ion.
The court, in discussing the power
conferred by the state through its cor
porate franchises, says:
though courts are slow to vol
franchises, there can be no question @
their right to do so when the corpora
tions are abusing the powers conferre
by the state by turning those power
against its citizens.
"When the state seeks to destroy tn
life OF an incorporated body, it Is re
quired to show some grave misconduc
some act, at least, by which it hs
! offended the law OF it's creation, G
something material which tends
produce injury to the public, and M
merely that which effects only privat
interests, for which other adequat
! remedies are provided.
"Where, however, the facts disclos
that corporation has failed In the di
charge of its corporate duties by uni
II ing with others In carrying out q

ait Is an old and familiar maxim that
competition IL the life of trade, and what
ever act destroyes competition, or even re-
lakes It, upon the part of those who sustain
relations to the public is regarded by the
law as Injurious to public interests, and Is
therefore deemed to be unlawful on the
grounds of public policy.
"The authorities affirm as general
rule that II the act complained Of, by
its results will restrict or stile compe-

A private dispatch from Washington
makes the announcement that Admiral
Dewey has accepted an invitation to
accompany President Mckinley to
Chicago when the Chief Executive goes
there in October to lay the corner
stone of the new federal building. AZ
ter the ceremonies Of the cornerstone
laying the President expects to visit
Milwaukee and other points in the
west. The President has not yet de-
cided whether he shall invite the Ad-
miral to accompany him further than
Chicago or not. BY the time they
have reached Chicago the President
will be able to determine whether it is
paying business to have the Hero Of
Manila as a side partner in an exhibit
ion tour such as he contemplates.
Should it appear that the great naval
commander is too near the hearts of
the American people and that the
principal glory attaches to him, no
doubt, the President will find some ex-
cuse to go it alone.
