gressman, had no opposition to speak of and carried off a majority of some thing like 14.0o0 or 15.00O, but Pitts burg is strong in labor organizations in every line of work except Iron and steel. The last strike in the steel mills defeated and broke the Amalgamated Association so that it has never been a force in the labor world since then. but the union feeling is strong, never theless, and If arrayed against Dalzell 1t would probably give that gentleman more anxious moments than he has ever had.
 He is a political nonentity so far as acuuaintance with his constituents is conc cerned. To all intents and pur- poses he Is a resident of Washington For years he depended upon the late Christopher Magee for his nomina- tions Magee could have defeated him at any time by simply turning his thumb down. Of course Mag"e was but the representative in many ways of the big interests that regard Dal- zell's continuance in Congress essential to their welfare. wherefore he was never inclined to tell Dalzell to re- main at home.

ly 136. That is an abnormal condi- tion, although not unheard Of. the Democrats in one Congress having a majority of about 100. A change or fifty-six votes would turn the Repub- lican majority into Democratic one.
 There are fifty-one districts now represented by Republicans that may without the least stretch of imagina- tion be called doubtful, with Democrat ic leapings There is one in Iowa, five in Illinois. three in Indiana, seven in Pennsylvania, three in Colorado, one in Delaware, two in Connecticut, one in Maryland seven in Missouri, two in Nebraska, four in New Jersey, eight in New York. one in North Carolina, one in West Virginia and five in Wiscon- sin.
 Tn years that have not been particu- larly favorable to the Democrats they have carried more than that number of districts in Indiana, illinois. New York and Ohio, ard some in Michigan. in which this year there Is none re- garded as doubtful.
 On the vote cast last year in Ohio and Pennsylvania there would be at least twenty-four Democrats instead of two, as there are now. From these facts alone it may be seen that the es- timate of ffty-one doubtful districts with Democratic leanings is a very conservative one. In nearly every one of these ffty-one districts the Repub- lican majority two years ago was not more than 5000. Tn many 1t was less than 1000 and in a number less than 500.
 With such a large number of dis tricts in which the Republican margin is so small the weight of the Federa- tion campaign. without considering the little that may be done hy the money less Democratic Congressional Commit tee. ought to be very great.
 In tackIing Littlefield the Federation has not taken the weakest. from the point of view of the man who regards only figures representing majorities Two years ago he rad a majority of 5.4l9. Two years before that he mad greater margin Considering the fact that 1904 was Roosevelt year, the re- duced majority did not look well as an indication of his popularity
 Another man tackled by the Federa- tion is Richard Wayne Parker, of New Jersey. one of the avowed aristocrats of the House Two years ago he had a margin of AHnething over l1,00O. An other man 6 the black list of the Federation is John James Jen-. kins of Wisconsin, ChaiTman Of That Committee is the body that has been sitting on the anti-injunction bill to which the Federation is opposed He had a majority of nearly 20,000. Currier of New Hampshire, is another stblacg< beast" in the eyes of the off, eers of the Federation. He had a mar gin of 10.2S6 and Subway, another man marked for defeat. had nearly $500.

AGGRAVATED CASE
 OF ECZEMA
Troubled Badly for Several Years With Eczema on Limbs and Wrists = Physicians Prescribe Without Any Benefit = BIOtches Now All Gone.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURE BY CUTICURA

"For several years I was troubled badly with an eczema on my limb5 and wrists. Physicians in several towns had prescribed for me without giving me any results. I had often used Cuticura Ointment and received relief temporarily. In the spring of 1904 I took the Cuticura Resolvent Pills and used the Cuticura Ointment for about five weeks, and at theend of that time there was not a blotch on me anywhere. This spring I took a few vials of the Cuticura Resolvent Pills as a precautionary measure, and will continue to do 80 every spring simply as a spring tonic, as they are so easy to carry with you, and they certainly fix your blood for the ensuing year. I now use only Cuticura Soap.
 "The Cuticura Ointment and Pills certainly cured me of an aggravated case of eczema, and if it will help any other sufferer you are at liberty to use this letter. Respectfully, St. Clair Me- Vicar, San Antonio, Texas, July 6, 1905."

ESTIMATES FOR CANAL.
Isthmian Commission Is Preparing Ap-
 prOprtntion For 1907.

Washington, Aug. 29,-Estimates for canal appropriations for 1907 are now in course of preparation in the office of the Isthmian canal commis- sion. Present indications of these es- inmates will be about the last to be made for what is known as the canal plant.
 It is believed that all of the loco motives. flat cars. dredges, steam shovels and other equipment of an ex- pensive character will nave been as sembIed on the Isthmus by the end of 1907 that will be needed for the en- tire period of canal construction.
 It does not follow, however, that Congress will be asked to appropriate any less sum of money annually than has been needed In the past. It Is said at the commission that about S25, ,O0O,- O0O can be expended each year judi ciously, but that with the continu- ously enlarging plant, a greater pro- portion of this money will be issued in the employment of laborerss, result ing in a much better showing in actual canal digging.

Preparing for Congregational Commit


 The Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association, which was appointed some time ago to make ar engagements for the entertaining of the Congressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors, are making all of the necessary arrangements for their en- tertainment on the occasion of the visit of that committee to this city next month. From the principal com mittee there has been appointed a number of auxiliary committees which are working under different chair men.
 These committees nave already en- gagged the City of Mobile to take the Committee from this city up the Ala hama river to Montgomery They have also written to Secretary Gilbert of the Montgomery Commercial Club to give them all of the data that he has in his possession about the visit of the Committee. Some of the committee which are at present in New York, will try to see Chairman Burton of the Congressional Committee, and also MT Vandiver and to learn from them the exact day of their visit.
 On his recent visit to the city Hon. J. H. Bankhead was invited to come to Selma on the day of the visit of the Committee. He accepted the invita- tion and will be present and make the trip up the river to Montgomery.

PAVING IN SELMA
ROOM FOR GoOD STREETS NOT
 ABANDONED.
Commercial Club Will Push Matter and City Council VIII Probably Pass Ordinances fer Two Prin-
 cipaI Streets.
Advertiser Bureau.


 Selma. August 20.
 "Although the Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association which was appointed at the last meet ing of that. Association to take up the matter of paving Broad and Water Streets. have not been doing much work upon this matter since their ap- pointment, the subject has not been given up by any means" said Secre- tary J. T. Slater of the Commercial and Industrial Association this morn ing.
 The question of paving the streets was systematically worked some months ago by a committee of the As aociation and this Committee has con- siderable data in it's possession.
 The chairman of that committee. E. F. Ullman, is at present in New York and he has in his possession all of the information which that committee col lected when the subject was worked up by the Committee
 Mir UIlman is expected to return to Selma next week and upon his arri- val he will give the present Commit tee all of the information in his pos session and the question of paving the two principal streets of the city will be taken up again.
 The majority of the property own CTS along Broad and Water Streets seems to be Willing to help the city out in the matter of paving those streets and it is believed that there will be no trouble in getting the con sent of all of the property owners as paving the streets would certainly en- nance the value of their property. At z the next meeting of the City Council . it Is thought the question will be de- cided upon and that the preliminary steps towards this important step will be taken and that bids for the paving of these two streets will be asked for by the city
 After a period of about thirty days after the bids for the paving of these two streets have been asked for it IS believed that the contract for the work will be let. When the contract has been let the work will be started i'm mediate1y and it is thought that by the first of next February or even before then the two principal streets of the city will have been paved.
