The True american makes the following
comment on the legislature now in SEES.
sion =
'sOf 405 bills introduced, but Is had
been passed; and all the rest were buried
in committee or held in suspense in either
house.
''Of the 405 bills it is safe to say that
$50 are honest measures, designed to meet
some local or general condition. All such
deserve honest treatment and candid action.
"It is in evidence that many of these
bills are held by committees, and the
intimation is that many of them are being
improperly held, not only as means Of
keeping them from due consideration by
the house, but as a method of extorting a
special price for their furtherance.
1.-THE session has afforded ample time for
the consideration of all these measures, and
that so few have received it is severe i'm
putation against those who have permitted
the condition to exist.
III our Legislatures are to be as inert
and incapable as the present one, the State
will need session every six months in
order to have the work DONE"

sIn the winter of 1898 and 1899 | was
taken down with severe attack of what is
called La Grippe" says F. L. Hewett, a
prominent druggist of Winfield, Ill. 1.-THE
only medicine I used was two bottles of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t broke up
the cold and stopped the coughing like
magic. and have never since been troubled
with Grippe Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy can always be depended upon to break
up q severe cold and ward off any threaten
ed attack of pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to
take, too, which makes it the most desirable
and one of the most popular preparations

There seems to be general rule for
sowing tobacco seed in each state with
reference to the frosts which are likely
to occur in the spring. O. G. Butter
wick, an authority in tobacco culture,
furnishes the general rule that seed
beds should be planted from six weeks
to two Notwithstanding to the varie-
ty of the seed before the latest date at
which killing frost has occurred in the
locality. This is for the domestic seed.
For Cuban and Sumatra seed later
date should be selected. Imported Gu
ban seed should be planted month
later and imported Sumatra six weeks
later than acclimated seed. Very Wig
orous varieties of tobacco will grow
large enough to transplant in six
weeks. Other varieties will take from
eight to ten weeks from the time Of
sowing the seed.

official family together, and follow out

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
An Increase in Government Disburse-
 ments is Expected This Week.

London, November 2.-The plentifulness of money which characterized the Octo- Der market has been succeeded by con- ditions compelling heavy borrowing from the bank at per cent in order to meet stock exchange settlements and month end obligations. An increase in govern ment disbursements is anticipated this week, this will enable borrowers to liqui- date some of their indebtedness. The bank, meanwhile, has regained control of the money market and the hardening of London discount rates has not affect ed continental exchange. That there will be any considerable shipments of gold from New York in connection with the purchases of the shipping combine, or for other reasons, Is regarded as i'm probable inasmuch as the mercantile balances favor the United States, and it is considered likel ythat these win pro vide sufficient exchange for require mcnts.
 The sluggishness of the stock exchange was relieved for a couple of days by spurts of activity, especially in Ameri- can and British railway shares The dealings were mostly professional The more cheerful tone prevailing did not induce the public to buy to any ex- tent
