session opened, order was restored suf-
6ciently for the body to proceed to Dusi-
ness. As soon as a few more leaves OF
absence were granted, in Committee Of
the Whole, Mr.. Hatton began speech,
strongly and ably advocating the ap-
pointment of the railroad commission
ers by the Governor. He said ne had
opposed the whole thing but since It was
certain to be adopted, he felt 1t his pa
triotic duty to assist now IN getting as
perfect a provision as possible.
Chairman BraXton closed the argu-
ment in favor Of appointment by the
Governor. He was greatly aprlaCted
when in the course Of his speech he said
there was no office under the sun he
would seek. So far as any member of the
committee thinking of being appointed
to the office of railroad commissioners by
the Governor, he was sure they never
had any such idea, and as for him
self. he declared there was not money
enough in the UniteE States to induce
him to accept any such position. lie IN
sisted that if there was demand from
the people for the election of these oftl-
GERS by themselves, after q few years

EXTRAORDINARY MERIT
Of a New Catarrh Cure.

Physicians arc slow to take up new
and untried remedies, until their value
has been established by actual expert
ment, and they are naturally skeptical
Of the many new preparations constant

claims are made.
The most liberal and enlightened ply
