The Danger OF CatAsrA OiatDsats That
oostaia Mercury.
This journal, although more pardcu-
;arly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and mauufactur-
lag, is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants of Its readers. let
the subject be what It may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits OF the various catarrh RENE
dies on the market. The production
Of preparations OF injurious compost
tfon cannot. unfortunately. be stopped
or restricted at present. or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
rs will effectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter. we have
made o most careful and painstaking
investigation. realizing the confidence
that would be placed in our reply. Our
medical stan employed to make such
Investigations were most favorably
impressed with the preparation known
is Halls catarrh cure. manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co. Of Toledo. Ohio.
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement.
Many of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury. which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis We found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t Is taken
internally. acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. We have no interest whatever
In this matter beyond faithfully serv-
ing our readers. and as our indorse-
ment Is extended without reward OF
any kind. and is wholly unsolicited BY
this company, and will be received
with the full credence that all our
statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review Of

CONTRACTS IN PORTO RICO.
Controllers Decision as to Payment.
Under Their Extension.

The controller of the treasury has re-
cefved a letter from the Secretary of War
asking for a decision on a question raised
by Captain Judson. president of the board
OF public works of Porto Rico. Captain
Judson states that il may become neces-
sary to extend the time for the compile
ton of certain contracts now being exc
cuted under an appropriation OF March 3,
1893, OF 100000, las an emergency fund
TO meet unforeseen contingencies, to be ex
pended under the direction of the Presi-
dent and asks whether. in case of such
extension, the appropriation will be avail
able for expense of inspection and other
expenses pertaining to the execution of
such contracts beyond the limits of the
fiscal year to which the appropriate ton per-
tains.''
The controller holds that If before the
expiration of the contracts the time for
their completion has been extended by conn
petent authority, any proper expenses in
CURED in their completion and necessarily
incident thereto may be paid from the APP
preparation, although incurred in year
subsequent TO that TO which the contracts
belong.

The German government has caused to

considerably from the existing schedule
Vice Consul General Hanauer at Frankfort,
who reports the fact to the State Depart
ment, says that the most noticeable feature
of the new schedule is its minute speciali-
cation Of articles; it contains 1855 numbers.
The principal purpose appears to be a
closer grading, and this, says the consul,
will affect many articles of American
manufacture, such as bicycles, machines
and fine iron ware.

Assistant Secretary Spaulding, following
a decision of the United States Supreme
Court, has notified collectors of customs in
effect that when the fact is established to
the satisfaction of the authorities that a
woman applying for admission to this coun-
try is the wife of a Chinese merchant law
fully domiciled here, she may be admitted
without the certificate required in other
cases. Although in the case in point the
status of minor children was not involved,
the Supreme Court decision cited holds
that minor children must be admitted on
the same terms as the wife.

ADDRESS IN TIE SENATE

Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky addressed the

States, but that the Philippines did not
stand in the same relation to this country.
He said in part:
THE passage of the House bill to tax i'm
ports and exports between Porto Rico and
the United States has provoked general
condemnation by the people of the United
States. They almost universally demand

United States. We cannot afford to do
this unjust thing; and the Industrial in
terests that are today standing in the way
of the open door to Porto Rico are unwit-
ting.y provoking a movement that may
not lose its impetus till all the doors that
now stand in the way of free intercourse
between the United States and other ma
tons shall have been subjected, in a
greater or lesser degree, to the opening
process.
y shall vote to amend this bill so as to
make it provide for absolute free trade
Nth the people of Porto Rico.
