More than half of mankind over sixty
years ofage suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlargement

Of danger, as it corrects Irregularities

daughter was restored from the dread

which yielded to no treatment but grew
steadily worse until as last resort we
tried Electric Bitters; and I rejoice to
say, three bottles effected a complete
cure" Quick, sure cure for nervous

gre b Der, invaluable offices Of attorney
general Of the territory and territorial
representative in Congress. AS a citi-,
zen of New Mexico, ''captain Of in
dustry," and a developer of resources"
he was compactly described by the dis
tinguished George w. Julian, oue-time
encouragement of New Mexico and
careful, Honest man, in a speech at In
dianapolis on Sept. Ia, 1892. said JUL
ian:
"Elkins' dealings were mainly in
Spanish grants, which he bought for
very small price. Elklns became
member Of the landring of the terri
the survey of these grants was made
to contain hundreds of thousands of
acres that did not belong to them. He
thus became great land.holder, for
through the manipulation of commit
tees in Congress grants thus illegally
surveyed were confirmed with their
fictitious boundaries.
He made himself particularly con-
spicuous as the hero of the famous
Maxwell grant which, as Secretary
Cox decided in 1869, contained only
about ninety.six thousand acres, but
which, under the manipulation of Ell
kins, was surveyed and patented for
LIZA, 764 acres, or nearly 1850 square
miles. Congress, through the action Of
its committees, was beguiled into the
confirmation of the grant, and thus
the Supreme Court was compelled to
recognize this astounding robbery as
valid. By such methods as these more
than 10,000,0 900 acres of the public do
main in New Mexico became the spoil
of the land-grabbers; and in the ring
leader in this game of spoliation was
Stephen B. Elkins, the confederate
Stephen w. Dorsey, and the master
spirit of the movement. | do not
speak at random, but from official doc
uments and ascertained facts with
which | became familiar during my
public service of four years in that ter
ritory.o
Let us not linger upon the scores Of
instances of successful and unsuccess-
full jobbery in those days-how, for in
stance, he tried, but failed, to grab a
group of rich copper mines by having
a grant, which lay in one direction,
surveyed as if it lay in exactly the
opposite direction; howIhe took up and
tried to force claim against the Bra
lillian government for fifty million dol
lars, which claim Secretary of State
Thomas F. Bayard characterized as
an ''outrage upon any nation with

First-Stephen B. Elkins of West
Virginia.
We have seen that the 'smerger" does
the main part of the work for 'the IN
terests' and against the people in the
secure secrecy Of Senate committees.
Aldrich has ElkInson several i'm
portant committees-ru COM
merce, appropriations, etc.. lie has
intrusted to him the chairmans hip OF
the interstate commerce committee.
Thus Elkins, under the Senate rules
and .'Senatorial courtesy is practl-
caliy master of the committee which,
with the exception of Aldrich,s own
finance committee, is the most impor-
tant to the gang that finances both
party machines and promotes the FOR
tunes of senators ana other high poll
ticians in exchange for license and
protection. For to this committee-to
Elkins-are referred all proposals to
enable the people to regulate their
twenty thousand millions of annual
interstate commerce, to secure a just
distribution of prosperity, And only
such measures as Chairman Elkins
approves, or as Aidrich and he decide
car or must be "taken care of in the
open Senate, ever see again the light
of day.
Who and what is the man Aldrich
has intrusted with this vital command.
Every man, woman, or child who
makes or spends dollar anywhere
in this country is more interested in
this question than in the immediate
source of his or her income. You can
change your employer; but not so
easily can you change this man who
by his power over Interstate commerce
| legislation has more 10 say about your
material welfare than has your en-
! ployer; more to say than have
you yourself, no matter how well you
may be using your energy aud lntelli-
pence. Also, the answer to who and
what is Elkins?n will broaden our
/ light upon the Senate, where he has
honor and authority by the votes Of
the majority o. the senators. In read
! ing his public record. let us not forget
that its facts are well known TO his
colleagues, and that they can no more
plead ignorance of him than they
could OF Aldrich or Spooner or Bailey
or of themselves.
Elkins, having graduated from the
University Of Missouri in 1860 and
been admitted TO the bariin 1868, went
TO the territory of New Mexico, and, by
interesting himself in politics, got the
federal Office Of district attorney. The
Mexican System Of peonage, sla, cry
for debt, was n iull operation then,
and Elkins laid the foundations of his
fortune by wholesale prosecutions
each of which Melted him tidy sum
