Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that contain Mercury

of smell and completely derange the

damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 9Th 1899.
When the record is carefully gone
over, it will DO seen that the Fifty. fifth
Congress. now gone to join the great
army of has. beens. did much more that
was worthy of commentator than was
open to censure. Its total Of appropri.
ations-more than billion snd q half
dollars, was at first glance startling, but
war is expensive and River and Harbor
and public building appropriation are
popular, in the neighborhoods where
the money is spent, as well as in neigh
borhoods which hope to secure similar
ones hereafter. Congress, with almost
its last breath, made play that is little
short Of childish. 1t is contained in the
Naval bill, which provides for the build.
ing of battlsahips and at the same time
makes it impossible to build them, by
providing that no more than $500 ton
shall be paid for armor, and that no
contract for the ships shall be made
until contracts for the armor have been
made. When the bill went from the
Senate to conference, it authorized the
construction of a government armor
plant-a bluff at the armor. makers
if the armor could not be bought at the
price named, but that clause was struck
out in conference, leaving the whole
thing an absurdity.
Nothing connected with the closing
hours Of Congress gave pleasure to a
greater number Of persons than the con.
firmation of the new Naval promotions
sent to the Senate on the last day of the
session, which made Schley rear Ad-
miral, two numbers ahead Of Sampson,
instead of two numbers behind him, as
the first promotion sent in, which the
Senate hung up, would have made him.
Public opinion sometimes gets on the
wrong side, but in this case it was right
from the first, and it is responsible for
the action of the Senate, which brought
before the public facts that compelled
