E. COOK, Chairman Congressional Com. Huntlnglon, Dec.18,1897; MORE delightful winter weather eould not be desired. It Is cool enough to exonerate and bright enough to cheer. THE gold reserve runs high, but tbe revenues run low.

With the revenues running low, It Is only a question of time until the gold re- will run low. Then look for another bond sale. THE railroads of the country have ione an Immense business since bar- Test. Plenty of grain and other pro- flsions, coupled with an extraordinary foreign demand for our surplus has made the business, A TVAR among the nations now for a slice of Chlcese territory could do this country no harm. It would create an increased demand for our food supplies and result in the enhancement of the value of all kinds of property.

CONSUL JACK GOWDY, in a recent interview, sold there Is no place like America. Jack is a good liver, and when he occupied the farm down In Rush county, sweet ham and fresh eggs were always provided for his breakfast. Deprived of ham in Paris, it it any wonder that he longs for America! THE action of Russia In taking practical possession of has created great excitement in diplomatic circles. It is a bold move and practically places Russia in a position to defy the world. England has a fleet of war ships in Korean waters.

She cannot change conditions except by war, and it is likely that Great Britain wants trouble with Russia at this time. RKV. DR. DIXON, a prominent New York divine, is much incensed because the administration has asked for funds to relieve the suffering Cubans. "The proclamation of the administration at Washington asking help for dying Cubans, to be given through Cuban corruptionists, is," he says, "the climax of our contemptible and aervile policy toward Cuba.

Truly the reign of the huckster Is with us. Have we a tin peddler for president or a man, a huckster or a soldier? Why beg alms for dying Cubans and our navy to help Spain kill them?" NICOLA TESLA, the greatest inventive genius of the age, declares that be will soon be able to harness tbe sun's rays, and provide light and heat at a nominal cost. He predicts that before two years all the large cities of the country will be providing light and beat from this source and that eventually the burdens of life will be greatly lessened by utilising one of the greatest forces of nature in con- ntcMon with other forces that have been subjected to man's will. Tesla's recent discoveries are fraught with possibilities that will astonish tbe world. He expects to patent his invention but declares thnt it will be for the good of mankind.

THE Republicans are aolding a conTerence at Indianapolis today. It will be attended by a large number of government office holders, wbo will discuss civil service curren-y reform and the revenue deficit. The Republicans are Ic rather a sad dilemma. In the first place, under tbe extension of tbe civil service, places can not be found for a great army of the faithful. In the next place they are afraid to endorse Backer Gage's currency reform scheme.

And Dben the growing de ficlt under the Dlogley tariff rises up like a growing monster and confronts them ID whatever direction they turn. There is a world of trouble ahead for tbe g. o. p. Ihe trusts and the corporations are prodding along the old elephant In whatever direction they require It to aiove.

The government hai never been under complete domination of corporate influences as now. The corporations are demanding control of the supreme court, of the Inter-state commerce commission and of the money supply. The McKinley administration manifests a cheerful willingness to acquiesce lo their demands, As an. excuse for conceding everything to the corporations, McKlcley holt's that he must make good the campaign promises of Mark Hanna, Is tbe reason McKenna has been named for supreme judge. This is why Paxson is to be made a member of the inter-state commerce commission.

This is why Banker Gage was mude secretary of the treasury. The people have benn betrayed by those who climbed into power under the cloak of "sound money" and "national honor."

It is to the effect that a subscription to a church debt cannot be collected by law ou the gronnd that tbe subscriber, if not a member of the church, gets no consideration therefor. Surrogate Betts rules that an outsider, a nonchurch member, may be temporarily worked oa in his feelings by fervent, appeals to subscribe to help pay off a congregation's debt -when in his cool headed, saner moments he would not at all do such a thing. It may be simply the "contagious spirit" of the occasion that prompts him to make the tender. Under these circumstances tbe surrogate decides thut when in th'3 cool after mo- aients he takes no step to make good his word he caimos be legally compelled to do so. There are 50,000 Indians, counting half breeds and all, iu Indian Territory.

Fully 200,000 white people have settled there in spite of the best efforts of the United States government to keep them cut. Tho Indians gave them permission to live there, the red men buying been hitherto allowed jurisdiction over their own territory. must be said that many of theso whites are no better than they ought to be and set anything bat a. good Sunday school example to tbe Indians. Confusion reigus in regard to government, social order and property ownership.

The time has arrived when tbe country ought to be regularly organized into a territory of the United States, with a government under control of the national authority. The Indians will ha--'e to become civilized men. No othcjr future ii possible to them. The scientific way of managing government revenues consists in a system which is able to adjust supplies to expenditures, making them meet evenly from year to year, with just enough surplus for sudden emergencies. Perhaps the American congress will after awhile be equal to framing a system elastic enough to meet this requirement.

To devise such a scheme, adjustable to public needs, should be the study of congressional committees of ways and means. Divorce lawTare Tearffil ana wonffet ful combinations in most of the United States. For instance, if a married couple detest the sight of each other and both are dying for a divorce so as to get apart forever, the law says they shan't have it. This is collusion, says the law, and hostile to the social order. But if only one of the couple wants a divorce while the other is bitterly opposed to it, and moves heaven and earth to prevent; it, then the law says, Oh, yes, hero is divorce for Take it and go.

The sultaii has a crack army of 100,000, but the Turkish minister at one of the courts of Europe has done without his salary till he has not money enough left to purchase even stale bread, while another says he cannot buy so much as a pair of gloves to wear when he goes to dinner among the swells.

One Person in Eyery Four Suffers Prom Piles. About one person in erery four suffers from some form of rectal disease. The most common and annoying Is itcnine; piles, indicated by warmth, slight moisture, and intense, uncontrollable itching in the parts affected. The usual treatment has been some simple ointment or salve which sometimes gives temporary relief, but nothing llfce a permanent cure can be expected from such superficial treatment. The onl? permanent cure for itching piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Care, not only for itching piles, but for every other form of bleeding or protruding.

The first application gives instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the intense itch- Ing and discomfort of itching piles. Many physicians for a long time supposed that the remarkable relief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Gnre was becax.se it was supposed to contain cocaine, opium or similar but such is not the case. A recent cnrefo.1 analysis of the remedj showed it to be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact anr poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.

HE. GAGE MUST BE GALLED DOW. The Senator Predicts a Catastrophe if the Secretary of the Treasury FreitMs Currency For the Republican Party. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire has written a letter to Washington paper, in which he says: "If the secretary of the treasury and his single gold standard associates will cease their demand for impossible currency legislation, congress will pass the necessary appropriation bills, probably take care of Hawaii and Cuba, there will not be a serious party division daring the session, and there will be an adjournment in May. Business will revive, the treasury receipts will equal the expenditures, the balance of trade will continue in our favor and the Republican party will in November, 1S9S, elect a majority of the house in the Fifty- fifth congress.

"On the otber hand, if Secretary Gage continues to press upon congress a bill the object of which he says is ''first to commit the country more thoroughly to the gold and the immediate effect of which is to throw doubts upon the sincerity of the president's declaration in favor of continued efforts to- secure bimetallism, a political turmoil will arise in congress which will split the now united Republicans into fragments, while it will unite and consolidate the now incongruous opposition, "It is not feasible to retire the greenbacks. There is more probability that a bill will be sent to the president to increase their amount. "It is not possible to secure the passage through either bouse of a billmak- iiis' the greenbacks into gold notes or authorizing bonds payable in gold. The effort to do either thing will probably result iu the passage of a bill for the redcreprion of the greenbacks in silver dollars, and for the payment of all United States bonds iu gold or silver coin in the discretion of the president, who will be commnuded to exercise his option for the advantage of the government and riot, for the advantage of the creditor. "With such an uproar in congress as these proceedings will create, with western embroiled therein, with presidential vetoes, as threatened by Secretary Gage under angry discussion, it will happen that all business and funds and stocks will be disturbed, prices will fall, insolvencies will increase, and the will lose the congressional elections in 189S as disastrously as they did in 1890, and beyond the; hope of a favorable reaction iu 1900, at which time therefore a Bryan Democratic president and congress will be chosen.

"Whether we are to have one of these the political entirely upon the course to be pursued by Secretary Gage and those who ave pressing the Gold Standard league of New York and the self constituted national monetary conference. How much Secretary Gage cares for the party is not known. Whether President McKinley, whose good faith toward bimetallism is coming to the tost, will stop his secretary iu his insane career is not known. It is to be hoped he will. But no political situation has been clearer tbau the present to sound eyes since the Republican party began its marvelous career 42 years ago.

There are times for all things. There is a time to move and a time to keep still, and now is the time to so keep. "It is simply political suicide for the Republican party in this congress to affirmatively open the discussion of the money question and to bring on yea and nay votes upon currency legislation. We ought to await the progress of international bimetallism, the advent of business prosperity and the filling of the treasury by the normal workings soon to be seen of the new tariff law. Shall we wait for these things or rush on to self destruction? "President McKinley must decide.

Will he act for his people or for his plutocrats? Upon his answer will depend the events of 1S9S." MEN AND WOMEN SEE OUR FELT SLIPPERS.

Democrats In Congress to Oppose the Extension of Bank Privileges. The Dem ocratic ID embers of the house of representatives have done wisely in voting to oppose the Republican scheme to hand over the "government business' of supplying the national banks exclusively with paper money, says the New York Kews.

Tbe resolution of tbe caccns. which was adopted unanimously, is concise and to the point. They "ought to resist all efforts, direct and indirect, to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes," and they should oppose also the extension of the privileges of the banks and the red net ion of the small tax that they now pay. This plan of the Repnblican party to hand over to a small class the entire control of the currency of the nation is one fraught with so much danger to the people that its mere advancement is a matter of surprise. The country has been threatened with this issue for some time, and the Democratic parry, now that it is made, must fight against the banks and the plutocracy generally.

There is no doubt at all as to the ultimate outcome, but care most be taken to keep the Republicans from any adTantage through their temporary and accidental control of the government.

But there is another poiu: of viev which is not often i-nongh aui- phasizcd, accordion to The Erode, which calls attention to iia article by Dr Earth, who discusses tbe utility of singing from a hygienic point view. Following are some of his Every bodily i.s Ktreagthonrrl exercise, fingers excrci: i' their hnigs than other people: therefore, he says, we find that have tbe strongest and soundest lungs.

Tbe average German takes into his lungs 3,200 cubic centimeters of air at a breath, while professional singers take in 4,000 to 5.000. The tenor Guuz was able to fill his lungs one gasp with air enough to suffice for the singing of the whole of Schumann's song "The Rose, the Lily," and one of the old Italian soprauists was able to trill op and down the chromatic scale two octaves in one breath. A singer not only supplies his lungs with more vitalizing oxygen than other persons do, but be subjects the mtiscles of bis breathing apparatus for several hours a day to a course of most beneficial gymnastics. Almost all the muscles of the neck and chest are directly or indirectly involved in these gymnastics. The habit of deep breathing cultivated by singers enlarges the chest capacity and gives to singers that erect and imposing attitude which is so desirable and so much admired.

The ribs, too, are rendered more elastic, and singers do not in old age suffer from the breathing difficulties to which others are so much subject. By exercising so many muscles singing furthermore improves the appetite, most vocalists being noted for their inclination to good meals. The nose of a sieger is kept in a healthy condition by beius imperatively and constantly needed for breathing purposes, the injurious mouth breathing so much indulged in by others being impossible in this case. That the ear. too, is cultivated need not be added.

In short, there is hardly any kind of gymnastics that exercises and benefits sc -uany organs as singing does.
