Headache?

IF it does, you should

They will relieve the

utes. Ask your druggist

pain without leaving any
disagreeable after-effects
isn't that what you
want?
MY son Frank Snyder has used
DR.. Miles Anti-rain Pills for a long
time. He never had anything to
help him so much for headache. A
year ago he came home, and I was
down sick with such a dreadful nerv-
Gus headache. He gave me one OF
the Anti-Pain Pills, and after while
/ took another and was entirely re-
lieved. I always keep them in the

never had the sanction of this House, and it
does not now possess the moral force of
law. ''-(Mr. Holman Of Indiana in Congress
sional Record, volume 4, part 6, Forty-fourth
Congress, first session appendix page 1881
"This legislation was had in the Forty
second Congress, February II, 1873, by bill
to regulate the minis of the United States
and practically abolished silver as money by
failing to provide for the coinage of the silver
dollar. It was not discussed, as shown by
the Record, and neither members Of Congress
nor the people understood the scope Of the
legislation. - Joseph Cannon in Congress
sional Record, volume 4, part 6, Forty-fourth
Congress, first session appendix, page 1872
Can any honest and candid man, after read
ing the above do otherwise than agree with
Senator Allison that the bill was doctored -?
Or with Representative Holman "that the
measure and the method Of its passage through
the House was a colossal swlndle'? Both

every obstacle in the way Of the passage of
a silver coinage bill by Congress. To say the
least, it does not look we'll
Every effort has been made for the full
restoration Of the coinage Of the silver dollar,
without avail, a money power behind the
throne having always opposed the proposition.
I further represent, that the British Indian
government buys annually Of silver bullion at
a commercial value of about SIS cents per
ounce, and has the same coined into legal ten
der money to the extent of about 19O,OOO,OOO
rupees, and thereby earns a profit of over
$4,000, 900 annually, also all the nations OF
Europe purchase silver bullion at the com
mercial price of about 55 cents per ounce and
have it coined into legal tender coins, at a
ratio Of about $133 per ounce and said
nations Of Europe are making annually a
profit of over $18OO0,0O0. In all, say a
profit Of fully $4OOOO,O00 made annually
through purchase and coinage Of silver, a
great quantity Of which is produced in our
country, thereb ycausing great loss and IN
Justice to the miners Of the United States.
During the past three years the circulation
of our country should have been increased at
least 5000 $1,000 and had such been done
our people would not be suffering from the
present disastrous financial panic.

Diplomat Shot by an Assassin.

adviser to the Korean Cvuncil OF
State, was shot twice this morning
at the Ferry Building by |. Wong
Chaeng. local Korean. Stevens
was attacked by Chaeng and Nj.
w. Chun, fellow Korean as he
stepped from an automobile IN
which the Japanese Consul Gen
eral Koiki was sitting. Chum at
tackled Stevens with his fists,
while Chaeng fired three shots
with relvOler, which was hidden
under handkerchief. Two bullets
hit Stevens, one penetrating his
lung aud the other entering his
groin, but doctors say he will re
cover. The third bullet hit Chun
mortally wounding him.
The attack grew out of an inter
view Mr.. Stevens had had upon
his arrival on the steamer Nippon
Maru Friday afternoon, in which
he praised the policies of Japan in
Korea and accentuated the bene-
fits that would accrue from Jap
anese occupation.

Special Message to Congress.

Special Message to Congress.
In his special message to Con
grets the President issues Tariff
Revision orders. The recommen.
dations made by the President
are:
Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation AT least
a model child labor bill should lie
passed for the District of Colum-
bia.
l renew my recommendation for
the immediate re-enactment Of an
employ liability law. drawn to
conform to the recent decision of
the Supreme Court.
| urge that action be taken
along the line of the recommended
tions | have already made con.
corning injunctions in labor dis
putes. No temporary restraining
order should be issued by any
court without notice; and the Pc
titiou for a permanent injunction
upon which such temporary re.
straiuing order has been issued
should he heard bp the court issu-
ing the same within a reasonable
time.
| again call attention to the
urgent need of amending the inter
State commerce law. and espec-
tally The antitrust law. The inter
State commerce law should be
amended SO as to give railroads
the right to make traffic agree
ments. subject to approval by the
Inter State Commerce Commis
sion and published in all details.
The Commission should also be
given the power 10 make public
and to pass upon the issuance OF
all securities hereafter issued by
railroads doing an Interstate
commerce business.
A law should be passed provid
ing in fleet that when "a + federal
court determines to place com
mon carrier or other public-utllity
concern under the control of IA re.
ownership, the Attorney General
should have the right to nominate
at least one of the receivers; Oh
else in some other way the inter
estS OF the Stockholders should be
consulted.
The question of financial legiS
lation is now receiving such atten-
tion in both houses that we have d
right to expect action before the
close of the session. 1t is urgently
necessary that there should be
such action.
Tn, time has come when VT
should prepare for IA revision oil
the tariff. This should be, and
indeed must be- preceded by
careful investigation.
Ample provision should be made
r a permanent Waterways Con-
mission. The reasonable expec.
tation of the people will not bt
met unless the Congress provide,
a. this session for the beginning
and prosecution of the actua
work of waterway improvement
and control.
The Congress should rec guiz'
in fullest fashion the fact that tn,
subject of the conservation of oul
natural resources, with which thu.
Commission deals, is literally
vital for the future of the nation
