USEFUL TO KNOW.

A remedy for heartburn, which is
recommended as being infallible, is to
add to half a tumbler of cold water a
half teaspoonful of carbonate of
soda, squeezing into it the juice of a
small piece of lemon, and drinking it
while it is effervescing.
To make camphorated oil, take as
much sweet oil as you require and neat
it sufficiently to melt camphor, then
add camphor in the proportion of an
ounce to every halfpint of OIL
A good floor polish may be made by
shredding finely two ounces of bees
wax and one ounce of yellow soap into
jar. Cover this with turpentine and
dissolve it slowly on the stove, stirring
occasionally with piece of stick.
When cool the compound will be ready
for use
A good remedy for catarrh. it is said,
is the free use of boracic acid as a
snuff.
Finger marks may be removed from
furniture by the use of little olive
oil applied with a bit of flannel. Put
the oil on the flannel, not on the wood,
and rub the wood with it. Use very
little at time.

speech was made in the senate by
Mr.. Hanna (rep., o. on the shipping

standpoint of a business man Early
in the session Mr.. Frye (rep, Me-

agreement that the senate should vote

amendments at 3 p. m. Monday, March

Of the cost Of a ship was purely Ia

countries simply measured the diff

American labor. The merchant ma

marks were directed principally to re-
publican senators, and he gave fur
Their expression to his views that the
subsidy bill was logical response to
the demands and principles of the re-
publican party and that in it's prepa-
ration he had obviated objections en-
tertained by senators friendly to the
measure. No other senators desiring
to speak, the bill was laid aside and a
number of private bills were passed.
The house spent another day in
discussion of the bill to classify the
rural free delivery service and place
carriers under the contract system.
No vote was reached and it is doubt
full whether one will be had for several
days, as the impression prevailing is
that it will be defeated. The speakers
were Messrs. Smith (dem., KY.
Gardner (dem., n. j., Williams (dem.,
Miss) in favor of, and Messrs Lands
(rep.. Ind, Maddox, (dem, Ca and
Hill (rep., Conn., against the measure.
Before the debate began the confer

bill was adopted. The vote was on
party lines except that Messrs Nc

voted with the democrats against the
adoption of the report

Washington, March SIT appears
likely now that the senate will reach

one week from next Monday. When
Mr.. Frye (rep., Me- in charge of the
measure endeavored to secure an
agreement for time for taking a
vote that date was mentioned as
being satisfa ctory to the minority
members of the commerce committee
Mr.. Clay (dem., Ga) addressed the
senate in opposition to the bill and
had not concluded when the senate
adjourned. Early in the session the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, the second of the
big supply measures to be acted on
at this session, was passed.
The house continued the debate on
the bill to classify the rural free mail
delivery service but took no action

the memory of Representative Polk

was omitted in the final draft and

! Washington, March 8.-The house
closed the general debate upon the bill
to classify the rural free delivery
! service and place carriers under the
contract system. A resolution was
] introduced by Mr.. Hughes (rep., w
! Va, stating that it was the intention
of congress, in passing the act Great
| ing permanent census bureau, to
| place in the classified service all en-
ployes of the census office above the
| grade of unskilled laborer whose
names were on the rolls of the census
at the date of the approval of the act.
The resolution further provides that
this intention be carried out. Mr..
Pearre (rep., Md introduced a reso-
luton extending the thanks of con-
gress to Admiral Schley for his serv-
ices in the battle of Santiago, July 3,
1898. Mr.. Burleson (dem., Tex in
troduced a resolution calling upon
the secretary of state for information
as to whether he declined to request
the British government to grant pass
ports to Rev Hiram w. Thomas and
wife, who are alleged to have request
ed permission to go to south Africa
for the purpose of distributing the
funds raised in the United States for
the relief of non-combatant prisoners.
Washington, March 10.-For nearly
two hours Mr.. Vest (dem., Mo- ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to
the ship subsidy bill. No member of
the body has been accorded a more
f1atteringly close attention than he
received. Despite his evident feeble
ness, he spoke with force and fire and
at times he became brilliantly elo-
quent. He carefully analysed the i
measure and particularly attacked |
the present navigation laws, which !
he declared were relics of barbarism
and responsible for the decline of our
merchant marine Mr. Tillman (dem., |
S. c. denounced the policy of giving |
subsidies to anybody, particularly to
individuals and corporations en-
gagged in the formation of shipping
trusts.
The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service was passed by the
house. All provisions relating to the
placing of carriers under the contract
system were stricken out and the
salary system not only was continued
but the maximum salary of carriers
was increased from $500 to $500 per
annum. A motion offered by Mr. Will
Jams (dem., Ill.) to recommit the bill
with instructions to report an amend
ment providing for the dismissal from
service of carriers who should usel
their influence in favor of any par
ticular party or for any particular I
candidate was voted down-96 to 141. {

THE GREAT ISSUE.

Protection, protection, how many crimes have been
committed in thy name" is the campaign cry of the
democrats framed by paraphrasing the famous saying
of Madame Roland. The American people patient
people To help American industries said to be infant
industries they have consented to pay added price
upon their purchases, But when 1t is shown Chair
Grggs has recently done, that these infant indus
tries giant industries and selling their products
abroad cheaper than at home the people have become
justly convinced that their confidence and their purses
have been abused The American people will con
to be taxed by the tariff for the benefit of the
egner We viii not continue to pay high prices that
the foreigner may buy the American goods low
prices Never in all history has there people so
swindled
Now, the president is astute enough to recognize
the strength of the democratic position Since con
has adjourned he has been in consultation with
Representative Lttlefeld of Maine and has announced
the framing of antitrust measure which will curb
the trusts whose monopoes by of the tariff law
and their combinations and Vaccinations have en-
rched them enormously at the expense of the poo
pie The tariff is of the main roots Of the trust
evil But even IT, for the arguments sake, the pres-
dent be given credit FOR sincerity in his remedial nten.
lions with regard to the trust evil only has he
failed devise adequate remedy but the remedy he
has proposed Will never be passed by republican con
gress
II a democratic house be elected some antitrust
legislation viii at any rate be scut to the senate The
republican record upon the trust question is encourag
Ing only to the trusts In congress the republican ma
jorty has defeated antitrust legislation when it has
been proposed heretofore During the last session the
republicans would not even go through the form of
proposing any antitrust legislation Such powerful
financial organizations the trusts necessarily take
hand in politics to favorable and prevent unfa
vorable legislation 1t is according to human nature
that they should do this With political party OF

party OF the first part and political fayors from the
party of the second part Everybody knows that this
alliance has heeu formed, and that 1t has been formed
not between the and the democratic party but
between the trusts and the republican party. There.

MR.. BRYAN IN NEW ENGLAND.

Il fear the Creeks" said the wise Trojan, even
when they are bringing gifts This ancient saying
may well be borne in mind by the democrats with ref
erence to the reiterated republican advice to drop I'M

that the issue of Imperialism is dead. that there is
nothing in it, that the democrats would do well to let
alone Bitterly do they blame Mr. Bryan and Senator
Carmack for insisting upon that issue
The remarkable enthusiasm which Mr.. Bryan
awakens in New England as has been reported in the
Eastern papers the Boston Globe the Boston Herald
and others is duo to his seadast opposition to Inn
