Noted Woman suffraaIsts.

Even If the women could only sit
up in the gallery and watch the men
eat at the great Chamber of Com
merce banquet in the Waldorf. they
could console themselves with the
thought that there were some pretty
good woman suffragists among the dis
tinguished guests. President Roose-
welt, as is we'll known. has expressed
himself favorably, and the same is
true of Senator Depew. Sir Albert
Rollit, chairman of the delegation
from the London Chamber of Com
merce, had charge of the women's
franchise bill in the House of Com
mons in 1892, and made a powerful
fight for it, the vote standing ITS yeas
to 1872 nays. Mr.. Faithful Begg, anoth-
er delegate from London, has had the
management of the bill during various
parliamentary sessions for the past
eight or ten years. These prove mere
ly that belief in the right Of women
to the suffrage is not confined wholly
to visionary and irresponsible radicals.

Science Of Watering Plants.

With consignment of Seeding ever
green's which received few days ago
was enclosed this order: Don't, under
any circumstances. water oftener than
every two weeks. but when watering
soak thoroughly" After studying and
testing this advice found it to embody
the correct principle A little water
placed each evening on aplant will soon
evaporate, the surface becomes baked
the fine roots hunt the surface and the
plant is injured instead of benefited
By the soaking method the ground must
necessarily be we'll cultivated to catch
the water readily; the moisture pene-
trates the soil, drowning the f1brous
roots downward, and the results re-
semble those caused by good rain 1t
is in harmony with successful irriga-
tion in the West. There will be more
gained by thoroughly soaking the
ground around single tree or plant
each evening than giving a hundred
the customary pint. My Seeding ever
greens were soaked to plow depth and
as soon as the surface was dry enough
worked into a dust mulch. Each morn
ing for week the surface looked as ii
1t had received a good shower, al
though we scarcely had a dew. The
growth of the trees attested the cor
rectness of the plan. A few plants pos
sibly might be found that would not
thrive under this treatment, but they
would certainly be the exception and
not the average.-W. A. Ballenger in

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids. which destroy and inflame
every part they come in contact with. Ap-
plications to the places affected by catarrh
can do little good save to soothe or quiet
disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that
gargles. sprays. atomizers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief So long as
the irritating secretions of catarrh continue
to be formed so long will the membranes
continue to be infamed. no matter what
treatment is used.
There is but one remedy that has the
desirable effect. and that remedy is
Gilpin observer., 1902-12-25

Peruna. This remedy strikes az once to
the roots of catarrh by restoring to the

FRICTION IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Jealousy Between Military and Civil
Authorities According to Taft.
Washington, March 4. - Governor
Taft was examined by members of the
insular committee of the house yester-
day on various phases of the Philip
pine islands. In answer to Representa-
tive Hits inquiry whether there was
jealousy between the Unitel States mil
itary and civil authorities, Governor
Taft said human nature was the same
in the Philippines as in the United
States and with a dual form of govern
vitable that some friction should be
created at some times. Governor Taft
stated. however, that each side was sin
cerely striving to work out the prob
lens presented The governor estimated
that the United States military force
could be reduced to $4,000 men in one
year from this time and he thought
$4,000 men would suffice now.
Governor Taft again expressed him
self favorable to IS per cent reduction
in duties and said that while the pro-
posed 25 per cent reduction might do
something it hardly would afford the
relief desired. He said 1T was mistake
to believe there would be any dumping
of large amounts of Philippine tobacco
on American markets, as the products
We're too small to affect this market,
altho ultimately the tariff concessions
would develop a great trade between
the United States and the Philippines.
The governor presented letters from
large employers of labor in the islands
urging the need of Chinese skilled labor.
He gave 100000 Chinese as the outside
figure for the entire group of islands,
and said the assertion that the Chi
nese population reached 100000 was
an exaggeration.
The hearing continues today.

SENATE AND HOUSE RULES.
The Two Houses Of Congress Are
Jealous of Their Prerogatives.

Special to IlmeS-Republlcan.
Washington, March 4.-Congress-
man Laceys pointed suggestion that
altho the senate of the United States
is run without rules and entirely upon
Senatorial courtesy, that the deliber-
ative body really should have rules
QueenSbury rules-seems to have
struck close home, and every congress-
man is passing the jab along, with a
gratuitious comment as an addenda
1t may be said that the senate is ex-
tremely sore over the effect of the
Tillman- McLaurin episode in view of
the traditions of that body and the
claim that In such a deliberatiye body
no rules are necessary save the I'M
written rule that every man is gen
tleman and that the rule of courtesy is
amply sufficient for the guidance of
that body. Nowadays the less Il sena-
tor hears about senatorial courtesy"
the better he is pleased. However, the
members of the house ring an indefi-
mite number of changes on this propo-
sition and the senators are becoming
rather weary of 1t.
In this connection it may be said
that the senate and house are exceed
ingly jealous of their prerogatives and
rights Each body has the notion, and
perhaps rightfully, that 1t is the main
driving gear in the legislative machine,
and promptly resents the assumption
of the other that this question is sub
| ject to question. For example, it is a
