Says Colombian Minister. Obtained d
GarbIed Report of COnhden-
-. tial speech.

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-There. was no
debate on the statehood bill in the senate
today. The Indian appropriation bill and
the Philippine currency bill both were
passed.
Mr.. Vest (Mo.). while the Indian bill was
up, called attention to point OF order
which had been made against one Of it's
provisions on the ground that IL was new
legislation The senate, he said, had passed
the. Philippine government bill as a rider
Ito the army appropriation bill, and yet
yuled other provisions out. All rules, he
said, we're violated when a majority was
in-favor of any measure.
Mr.! Morgan (Ala.) spoke on a question
Of privilege, regarding the dispatch signed
by the Colombian minister to Mexico, in
which Senior Reyes took exception to the
statement made by Mr. Morgan that
Colombian president had sold out and abdi-
Gated for $l,OO0,OOO.
Mr.. Morgan declared that the senate had
been betrayed by the publication OF
speech delivered in executive session and
that senor Reyes had violated a principle
of diplomacy when he obtained informa-
tion surreptitiously from persons false to
their trust

Mr.. Quay offered resolution, which went
over under the rule. declaring it to be the
sense OF the senate that a date and hour
prior to March should be fixed for a final
vote upon the statehood bill.
resolution was agreed to calling on the
president for information regarding the
present status Of the Isle Of Pines
and what government is exercising author
ity and control in said island; what in

occupation of Cuba by the United States
was terminated and what action, II any, has
been taken for the protection Of the inter-
ests of citizens Of the United States who
have purchased property and settled in the
isle Of Pines.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass) then called up the
Philippines currency bill.

The bill was about to be passed, when
Mr.. Vest (Mo.) called Mr.. Jones (Ark) at

made last Saturday against a provision
having for its purpose the Withholding OF
rations from Indian children who do not
attend schools, because il was general leg

Paine's Celery
Compound
The Great Nerve Builder and
Blood Purifier.
A Remarkable Restoration TO Health
After Failures of Physicians.

Fully half Of the indisposed, weakly, and
sick people around us are victims of nerve
troubles and unhealthy blood. They seem
to forget one important fact. that the
nerves bring on insomnia, dyspepsia, head
the body" 1t is now an accepted truth
that upon the action OF the nerves depends
health and happiness. Diseased and habby
nerves bring on insomnia, dyspepsia, head
ache. prostration.. irritability and lasstude;
these in due course cause more serious
ills. Paine's Celery Compound is the only
medicine that can bestow full and lasting
measure Of health to men and women who
suffer from nerve and blood troubles. This
wonderful agent feeds, nourishes and
strengthens all the nerve centers. puriies
and enriches the blood. tones the stomach.
and invigorates the entire nervous system.
Miss Mary Dahl, Richville, Mich. writes
thus:
For two years have suffered with dys-
pepsia, deblitated nervous system, and
palpitation of the heart. l had an awful
bad feeling in my stomach, and a bad. taste
in my mouth. l tried three different ply
sicians but could gain no relief from any
Of them. At last / heard OF Paine's Celery
Compound, used It, and owe my restoration
to health to my use of that grand medicine.
l only took four bottles, and it cured me"

Roosevelt, in his Life Of Benton" had said
the Indians had been treated with great
justice. Il do not agree with the presl-
dent" said he. 81 think they have been
shamefully robbed"
The bill was then passed.
The statehood bill then was taken up.
Mr.. Morgan -(Ala), as a question Of privil-
ege, had read the telegram from the Co
lombian minister to Mexico. He declared
that II anything was said by him It was
in secret session Of the senate. "Senor
Reyes" he added, seems to be determined
on the success OF the Panama scheme"
AS his statements did not appear in the
public records OF the senate. the statement
was false or surreptitiously obtained. He
then spoke OF leaks" in the senate. For
years ne had witnessed the abuse Of sena-
tors by eavesdropping, or betrayed by per-
sons who had been accorded the right Of
being present. at executive sessions, and he
had long since caused to expect anything.
1t was a cowardly form Of calling a senator
to account for remarks or statements made
in confidence. The evil seems to be with
out remedy, and the only safety was in open
sessions
81 did not say" he continued, "at any
time that the president had received
81, 900, 900 as pay for resienlng. I said that
after he received $1,OO0.00O in April, 1900,
he retired to his home and the vice presi-
dent was substituted in his place"
Reverting to the subject OF giving out
information concerning executive sessions,
Mr.. Morgan said:
1T is only a repetition OF the crimes
that have been committed by senators
heretofore"
At 4:1O the senate went into executive
session and at 4:40 adjourned.

WIT, HUMOR AND SATIRE.
Mental Gifts Rarely Possessed To-
gether by One Person.

A real humorist is a man who without
spasmodic effort uses his gifts as mere
condiments to the expression Of his hap
py thought; but your quaek humorist is
one who strings his jokes like beads. not
materially to illustrate thought, but to
make his quips and quirks constitute
the whole burden of his empty speech.
This effortless power of humor which
wraps some gifted men like an atmos-
phere, is very rare gift It has been
possessed by none of our notable public
men in any large measure save Mr.. Reed
and Abraham Lincoln. Great wit and
power of satire have been exhibited in
many of our leading statesmen, but fine
humOr has been denied to them. Fine
wit implies a keen intellectual vision:
fine humOr implies more than this, for
human earnestness and sympathy un-
derlie humOrs while hne Wit does not
date from moral sensibility, but not sell
dom from intense cynieism of spirit
The humorist belongs to the land of
sweetness and laughter and light in lit
erature, the land to which we may
fairly claim our own Hawthorne. Low
ell, Bert Harte and Holmes belonged,
for they all had wit mingled with Wis
dom, sense warmed and lighted with
feeling, moral sweetness and humane
sensibility married TO intellectual light
Your true humOriSt is the man who
makes the body and form and juice OF
all sound and lasting literature; he is
the fellow whose colors are always fast;
he is the philosopher of the permanent
as separa ted from the transient in hu-
man feeling and action. Your mere
satirist is a different thing Your hui
morist is an optimist; your satlrist IS q
pessimist Your humorist is the proph-
ct of the permanent, while your pes
sirnist is the prophet of the transient.
