Living or dead, his cause shall be
heard. I have never known an injus-
tice of this sort TO have been done that
the occasion did lot arise to redress
it."
The result of the presidents con-
%struction of his prerogatives, MIR. Ray
ner said, has raised a new school of
scribes who had commenced to edit a
revised edition of the constitution cali
ed "The Unwritten constitution
The presiden is the prophet OF this
new creed the Messiah Of this strange
ha1lucination. But" he added "one
thing he has no right to do, and that
is to use the vast public patronage at
his disposal TO competl obedience to
his views"
Another thing he has no right to DO,
n that is to make compacts with the
speaker of the noise of representatives
or it's committees to accomplish the
legislation that he desires, or prevent
Legislation. And still another thing he
has no right to do is to interfere with
legislation and TO force congress either,
to adopt his recommendations or if x
rejects them to bring about a breach
between the legisla>ita and executive
departments that is detrimental to the
best interests of the. country that con-
stitutes an assumption Of dictatorial
power which the people Of this repub-
lie, in the course of time, will not sub
NIT to, no matter how great the
achievement Or how much it may con-
duce to their progress and welfare Or
what benefit, advantage Or prosperity
we may derive from it's accomplish
ment.
Il believe that if the democratic
party would tax up as its battle cry
the reserved rights of the states and
the inviolate constitutional distinction
of the legislative, the judicial and the
executive departments, that we could
rally around the doctrine the intelll-
gent suffrages of our countrymen."

self as the possible biographer Of the
president, and saying he had no doubt
that Mr.. Rayner and his associates
would be pleased to meet the pres1-
dents b~iographer.
Mr.. Lodge declared that nothing the
president had lever said had gone 50
far towards advocating a revolution of
our present governmental system as
had Mr.. Bryan's declaration for the
government ownership of railroads. In
reply to Mr.. Lodge, Senator Ca~mack
said that while Mr.. Bryan hid *
pressed the opinion that if government
regulation should fail government own
ership ought to come, the president
had said if government regulation
should fail government ownership
would have to come. Hence he con
cluded that there was no substantial
difference between the president and
Mr.. Bryan on the subject of govern
ment ownership.

Representative Burton, in making tn
opening statement ON the river and
harbOr appropriation bill, said il was
the largest river and harpor bill ercr
presented to congress and the best AL
though the act of June, 1896, contained
a larger amount of authorizations.
Provision is made in the pending Oil
for the completion of a much larger
proportion of projects than in any pre-
cedlnG measure. The new projects"
aid Mr.. Burton, ARE not adopted IN
less provision is made for completion.
In providing for the completion of new
projects a radical departure is made III
the bill from former methods. Il has
been thought best, Mr.. Burton re-
marked, Ito undertake no new imp owe
ment unless the whole amount required
for its completion, whether the project
involves large or small expense, is ap-
propriated or authorized"
This policy, Mr.. Burton sad, had
been followed in preparing the pill
with barely an exception and he dwell
at length upon the advantages of the
plan. He called attention to the fact
that sixty eight million, seven hundred
and seventeen thousand, three hundred
and ninety eight dollars Of the amounts
included in the bill are for improve
ments Of considerable magnitude al
ready undertaken by the government or
for further Improvements in connection
Herewith, where increased traffic e
quires additional facilities.
The chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee remarked hat il on
gress Were to properly improve all the
m~eritorious waterways the expenditure
would be a billion dollars instead Of
the five hundred millions that nave
been expended.
"The policy Of the government in the
emphatically declared Mr.. Bur
ton, has been niggardly and parsimon-
iOus in the extreme" He cited numer-
Gus instances to bear ont his assertion.

gin A BREATH OF AIR"
Health Comes From knowing How
and What to Breathe.

Both health and disease come sin
a breath of air.
Dust laden with the germs of con-
sumption or other disease is inhaled
on every street, but disease does not
develop unless the germs find condi-
tions suitable for growth.
In the catarrhal condition there is
an ideal culture medium for these
germs, as the weakened tissues are
like a hotbed where the germs thrive
and multiply until dangerously ac-
tive.
If you have catarrh, use the easiest,
simplest and quickest cure, the di-
rect method of Hyomei whose won
derful medicated air destroys germs
and makes catarrh and germ infec-
ton impossible
You do not risk a cent in testing
Hyomei's healing virtues, for with

RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
WORSE THAN EVER
Gloomy Picture Given BY
Newspaper Writer.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. g.
(SpeciaD Political conditions in
Russia are worse than ever" said
Kellogg Durland, well-known news
paper men and writer on Russia
who has just returned from the land
of the Car, where he spent several
months 1T is a matter of only a
few months when the third Donna
viii be dissolved, as have been the
others before it, and probably upon
just as slight a pretext as that on
which the last Parliament was dis
solved
There are these marked differen-
ces in political conditions, however.
The marked reaction of the govern
ment against the people is more
intense than ever; the spirit of the
people for a constitutional monarchy
is more determined and the feeling
that the Gar is responsible more
than anyone else for the continued
oppression of the people is growing
Russia is beginning to realize, as
are the other countries of Europe, that
the Car is behind all the troubles.
While Nicholas II may not he a strong
man he is stubborn one. He re-
grets that he ever declared his pur-
pose to give Russia q constitutional
monarchy and he is known to have
said that the country would go along
for twenty years more under old
conditions.
1T is singular, however" added
Mr.. Durland, that the radical ele-
ment of the Donna is composed of
the men who, in the first Donna,
were members of the conservatives.
Roditschiff was one of the most out
spoken of the conservatives in the
first Donna. Now he is the most
radical of the radicals. 1t is signi-
f1cant that the feeling among the
Russian people regarding regicide
has changed largely.
Il don't want to be understood as
predicting the assassination of the
Car, but l do say that the idea of
regicide is not nearly so shocking
to the people as it formerly was
The anger of assassination now is
greater than ever. The government
holds a strong hand in this struggle
in its control over the army This
is due to the most wonderful army
discipline of any country in the
world. The army is afraid to mutiny
The soldiers are largely held in check
by the Cossacks, who have been given
pretty much all they want by the
government"

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or consti-
tutional disease, and in order to cure
it you must take internal remedies.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physic-
ians in this country for years and is
a regular prescription. 1t is compos-
ed of the best tonics known, combin-
ed with the best blood purifiers, act
ing directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing Catarrh.
