DOINGs IN CONGRESS.

Thirteen beet sugar Senators eau

Democratic minority on certain is
sues. This means success for all
fusion measures.
Boss Hanna leads the Nicaragua
canal fight and Boss Platt heads the
forces for Panama. The fight is SO
close that the Virginia Senator'S
Martin and Daniel-may have to
decide the issue.
Senator Martin has succeeded in
closing up the 100000 claim of
the Federal Government against Viz

This claim has been standing for a
hundred years or more.
Gen. Wood admits now that he

San Francisco have been urging Sen

because their engineers, it is said,
after examining the proposed route
for that waterway, have reported
that that canal can never be built.
The railroads, therefore, it is said,
desire the Nicaragua canal bill
adopted in preference to the Panama
canal proposition, all engineers being
agreed that the latter waterway can
be readily and quickly completed.

A BOON TO SUFFERERS.

The last decade has witnessed an
incident in mercantile life that would
in reality almost rival one of the
fabulous and munificeut Arabian
Nights tales. 1t is now almost a
national story as to how Emerson,
the poor and struggling druggist,
struck upon formula that launched
proprietary compound upon the
market and made him famous as well
as rich. Wherever Americans go
Bromo Settler is known, advertised
and eagerly sought for.
A few months ago there was put
upon the market in Richmond and
New York preparation that many
astute persons predict will rival the
famous Emerson compound and make
its discoyerer in the course Of a few
years as well known and affluent
as Bromo Settlers originator. Cafe
ierisn is new compound, but even
now it is beginning to be in demand
by the country trade. 1t is said to
be a wonderful cure for headache-a
crying ailiment of the American peo-
pie and all fast Iivers. The discoverer
of this preparation. like Emerson at
the start, is a poor man, but influen-
tial friends having found out the
virtue of the new discovery were not
long in aiding the proprietor, who is
Virginian, to put it upon the
market on basis that may soon
bring it into popular favor. With
their assistance the Merit Chemical
Co., of Richmond and New York.
has been organized, and through this
house Cafelerian will be distributed
to the trade.

AS NOTED in recent issue of our
paper the Constitutional Convention
adopted resolution prohibiting the
issuing of free passes to any person
who holds a State or county office.
This was eminently proper, we think.
But we see considerable humor in a
reflexive incident after the Conven-
ton had closed. A number of its
members sent messenger to one of
the Richmond railroad offices asking
that the usual courtesies of free
passes to their homes be extended
them. Promptly, and properly, they
received reply that the mem bers held
State official positions. and that rail
