CRUMS APPOINTMENT.

1t is said in Washington that 1T has
been practically determined by the SEN
ate committee on commerce that the
nomination of w. II. Crum, colored, as
collector of customs at Charleston, will
not be favorabIy reported by that COM
mittee. The committee is averse to
Crum's appointment, but in difference
to III President does not care to report
the nomination adversely unless 1t be-
comes necessary. The committee may
simply pigeon-hole the nomination and
allow the President to dropit at the close
of this session if he should see fit. If
he gives Crum arecess appointment, and
sends his name to the Senate at the next
session. the committee will act upon the
nomination by reporting it unfavorably,
and this will mean that the nomination
will be defeated. There are enough re-
publicans who will aid the democrats to
prevent the confirmation of this negro.
Col. Hampton Hoge, the defeated re-
publican candidate for governor of Vir-
ginia was in Washington last week.
When told that the Senate committee
on commerce would holdup the appoint
ment of w. II. Crum, colored, appoint
ed by the President to be collector OF
customs at Charleston, Colonel Hoge
said that fact would not cause him to
lose minutes sleep, and made several
other remarks that would not lead one
to think that he approved of the course
the President is pursuing on the negro
question. Mr. Park Agnew was present
and the statements Of Colonel Hoge in
this connection seemed to have his yea

IT Is given out with a flourish OF
trumpets in Washington that unless
antitrust legislation, cat least reason
ably satisfactory to the administration
is enacted at the present session, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, on the 9th OF March,
will call an extraordinary session OF
Congress. Now this is not the only
vain threat Mr.. Roosevelt has made.
The present Congress, if it enacts any
antitrust legislation at all, will pass
only such bills as are reasonably salts

Deafness cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result and.
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
