NEW TREATY WITH GERMANY.
Conclusion of Commercial Arrange
ment Announced by President.

Washington, June 3.-The president
Saturday issued a proclamation am
nouncing the conclusion Of a CONNER.
cial arrangement between the United
States and Germany under the third
section of the Dingley act. The proc
lamation is brief, simply announcing
the list of articles upon which the
United States grants reduced duties
to Germany and the undertaking of
the German government to make reci-
procity concessions
A letter from Secretary Cortelyou
dated April is made public in which
the secretary says that the negotia-
ton OF the proposed commercial agree
ment would promote friendly rela.-
lions and would otherwise be of bene.
fit to this country
The state department also has made
public an analytical statement of the
points of the new arrangement from
which 1T appears that about 40 arti-
cles of American production, embrace
ing most of the articles of trade dur
ing the past year are to be subject to
the minimum tariff rates upon admis-
sion to Germany.
Regret is expressed that it has not
been possible, owing to the attitude
of the German government. to secure
the minimum tariff rates for all Amer.
lean products and it is said that this
concession can only be secured by
substantial tariff concessions by the
fUnited States in the shape of reci-
procity treaty subject to the approval
of congress.

session of the grand jury was held
Saturday afternoon, and Chief of Po-

He has admitted that he had been
investigating yeniremen in the inter-

an accusation against the chief. The
grand jury will prefer formal charges
against Oman, it is said, for using his
office to protect men in the prosecu-
tipn of whom he is supposed to as

a Lazy Liver

savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
q great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over

organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how

stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions OF the blood-mak-

sonous accumulaticns, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection OF other organs.

Some Queer History.

Homer sometimes mods. Ditto the
editor Of the ST. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. Recently that paper contained
this editorial paragraph:
The late Galusha A. Grow lacked only
one vote of defeating Andrew Johnson for
the vice presidential nomination in 1854
A better illustration Of the tremendous
Importance Of a single vote cannot be
found in tho annals.
That would indeed be fine illustra-
ton of the tremendous Importance Of
a single vote" if it were true, which
1t is not. Nobody came within one
vote Of defeating Johnson. Hannibal
Hamlin came nearest, and he fell short
of Johnson's vote by flfty-fiye. Cap
tain Thomas II. Mckee ip his book en-
Titled National Conventions and Plat
forms" says: "For vice president. An
drew Johnson of Tennessee WAS nom
mated on the first ballot, The vote as
first cast was: Johnson, 200j Hannibal
Hamlin Of Maine, $50; Daniel S. Dick
tnson of New York, Jos, and sixty-one
votes were scattered among seven 9TH
ers." But before the vote was declar,

Rousseau Fl, with few scattering

These two accounts substantially
agree, the differences being that Blaine
gives Hamlin five votes less than Nc
Kee gives him and also gives the num-
berS of votes received by Butler and
Rousseau. They both show, however,

cillespie,s Opinion.

Everybody familiar with Washing
ton affairs knows that Texas has one
of the strongest delegations in the
house One of the growing Texans is
Oscar w. Gillespie. He is young, ca
pable. courageous, Industrious and ag
gressive. So far as / know, he is
the only man that ever caught Hon.
John Dalzell of Pennsylvania mapping.
Gillespie's resolutions of Investigation
into trust matters brought him into
much prominence during the last con-
gress. This dispatch shows that he
knows how to use vigorous English:
Washington. April misrepresentation
Oscar w. Gillespie of Texas. member of
the house committee on banking and cur
rency, speaking of the action Of Secretary
Cortelyou in coming to the aid of Wall
street in Its two recent hurries. said:
IF any other president except Roose-
welt had turned the treasury over to Wall
street as Secretary Cortelyou has done, 1t
would be denounced from one end of the
country to the other. Wall street is now
| SITS 900 government bonds. due July J.,
on the ground that this will ease the
money market.
'My deliberate prediction Is that Just as
soon as the panic is past Wall street will
| demand that refunding bonds be issued !;
that this debt be not paid but simply re-
| newed. OF course the debt ought to be
paid. With a surplus of s25000O, 900 in the
treasury this debt and all others ought to
be paid. This surplus is ample enough to
| pay for the digging Of the Panama canal
as we proceed and when finished not owe
one cent on 1t If Wall street would per-
nit it.
Instead of such sensible plan we re-
Quire the secretary Of the treasury, as
soon as he makes payments on the canal,
to issue bonds to recover the money paid
into the treasury
THE Aldrich bill passed at the last ses-
sion OF congress turning over to the banks
the customs receipts. as well as internal
revenue receipts, as heretofore practiced,
was at the demand of Wall street. This
takes out of the hands of the government
the control Of the gold supply.
They say we need no such control, be-
cause all of our money Is upon gold
basis This is true in theory, but not in
fact. We have declared by statute for the
gold standard. but have not provided any
| gold supply for meeting the gold obliga-
| lions of the government. except the $780,
1000 to pay upon demand the $346, 600 200
In greenbacks. But under the ruling of
| the secretary of the treasury. from Mr.
! Carlisle down. every silver dollar is re-
deemable on demand in gold. as well as
every national bank note"
Nobody will have any difficulty in as
certaining what Gillespie is driving at.
| His statements are clear as crystal.
He might have added that the treasury
department has been run as an adjunct
to Wall street for many years.

A Strong Man.

otroh9 wan.
Hon. Henry 7. Rainey OF Illinois has
been doing some investigating into
Panama canal matters on his own
hook and finds that the arrangements
for handling fresh meats are so sloven-
ly as to make 1T seem probable that
there will be an epidemic among the
diggers of the big ditch. He remained
on the isthmus eight days and US he
went thither unheralded had a much
better chance to ascertain the truth
than did President Roosevelt or Uacle
Joe's bunch Of congressman,
Rainey is an able man and is rapidly
coming to the front in the house of
Nature did much for him. He has n
commanding presence and one Of the
c]earest and most resonant voices ever
heard. His manner is deliberate, and
he is an indefatigable student. He pos.
sesses the courage of his convictions and
is not afraid to speak out In meeting.
During the last congress he made
two remarkable speeches touching the
practice of the American Watch COM
'pany in selling its watches in foreign
lands Mt price much below what II
sells them for to us Americans. His
first speech on the subject was yeri-
table bombshell among the Republic
ans They set one Of their crack
speakers, Mr.. Boutell Of Chicago, to
answer him. Several of the smaller
fry also took n shot Mt the big Illi-
noisan, but they never feazed him.
Notwithstanding Brother Boutell's
pleasing oratory and the answers Of
the others, Rainey held his position
and In his second speech proved con-
clusively every charge and statement
he made IN the first speech.
In the debate on the ship subsidy
among other things Rainey said:
Mr.. Chairman. the gentleman from Ne.
braska (Mr Pollard propounded this
question, looking over this direction. and
said in substance "Can any one explain
why our merchant marine commenced to
fade away from the seas about the year
1860 when prior to that time 1t had been
such an important factor In commerce
upon the high seas"
The question Is not difficult one to an
Bwer. Prior to that time we had free raw
material for ships. because prior to that
time ships were built out of wood, and
our forests We're full of material free to
anybody who wanted tc take It. Early IN
the last century they commenced to roll
Iron In England. and as soon as they did
that persons and firms engaged In that
business in this country insisted upon q
tariff against the rolled iron of England.

know, but the dates of the two edito-
rails seem to justify that conclusion
That's a small matter, however Savo-
yard in that one sentence falls into still
another error, and that is that Grow
was the FIRST Republican speaker That
is not true unless he means the first
speaker elected by Republican votes,
which would be true. General Nathan
Tel F. Banks of Massachusetts was the
first Republican to be speaker. Banks
was elected by combination vote of
Republicans and Know Nothings. In
the house over which he presided there
were SO Democrats, 10S Republicans
and 43 Americans or Know Nothings.
