During ti:e last few months there have
appeared in the newspapers of the comi
ng , accounts of marvelous cures from
the use of a medicine discovered by Dr.
Daid Kennedy, of Koiidotit. X. Y., and
Known as Dr. David Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy.
These cases, many of ihein held by tlie
medical prol'e-sioii to be iin-iirable. have
been so freipiently di-cii eil in the news
pancrs, that it ha's leil to many people
iiMiig this preparation, and they invari
ably have had a similar statement to
i make. Many of these people have been
told by their attending physician that
there was no hope."' recovery was im
possible." and a little later was an
nounced their restoration to health and
: strength through the i'-e or l ay.me , slK.vnie and one of the proprietors

Bill Ari
National Capital Matters.
Wabiiinoton, D. C, April 21, 1894.
The more one studies the work of
the Democ ratic Senators the more
apparent it becomes that they need
a leader. There is too much guerril
la fighting. Single leadership is as
necessary in politics as in an army,
if results are to be accomplished.
It mdy please the personal friends of
a Senator for- him to strike out on
his own hook and make a brilliant
attack on a party measure, but the
example is fatal to party harmony,
as it is always followed by those who
would never have attempted to lead
suc h a movement. It is not necessa
ry that a leader shall have more abil
ity than any of his followers. All
that is needed is that one man shall
be recognized as leader. The full
significance of this will be plain to
any Democrat who will take the
trouble to ask half a dozen Demo
cratic Senators to name the Demo
cratic leader of the Senate, and note
the number named. Now, there may
be a dozen leading Democratic Sena
tors, but there should be and can be
only one real leader at a time.
If the Democratic Senators had
one recognized leader the party
would be spared the spectacle of the
uncertainty now surrounding the
tariff bill. Of course every Demo
crat knows that the Senate is going
to pass a taritf bill, but there is no
man who can now say just what sort
i of a bill it will be when it is passed.
J This situation, with a clear Demo
jcratic majority in the Senate, is hu
jiniliating to every Democrat and

Forty-seven Democrats in the
House stood out to the last and voted
against the adoption of the rule for
counting a quorum, but its adoption
was inevitable, and. as long as it
seemed impossible to keep a Demo
cratic quorum on hand it is perhaps
just as well. There will be no more
dead-locks during this session. That
is much to be thankful for. The Ile-

j trouble whenever they pleased, and
for that reason is disliked by them.
It is not probable that the new rule
will be put in force often. Its exist
ence will be all that is needed to make
a voting quorum, as a rule.
It seems a little like putting the
cart before the horse to follow the
quorum-counting rule with the en
forcement of the old law docking the
pay of members of the House for the
time they are absent without leave,
except on account of sickness either
of themselves or in their families,
but it is to be done, l'erbaps it tms
law had been enforced from the be

have been no necessity fora quorum

a Democratic quorum on the floor of
the House.
There is a very large delegation of
working men numbering about 4,000
here to-day to influence legislation in
the Senate against the tariff bill.
What the result will be no one can
predict. The Democratic leaders in
the Senate, however, have a plain
kjji
duty before them, viz.: to pass a
of some sort and give certainty to
the business interests of the country.

Iist Week in Trade Circles.
SjxM'ial ( '..nvsTH.ridenw.
New York, April 2:. 1S;4.
Business improvement during tho
past week has continued, but it has
been less uniformly distributed and
its pace has been slower. Spring
wants in many lines have been pro
vided for; and uncertainty alout fu
ture conditions causes hositan.y and
caution in the preparations for fall
business. Lalior troubles in many
industries restrict current opera
tions, and uncertainty as to their
duration and effect embarrasses cal
culations for the future. Measured
by bank clearings the volume of bus
ness is about 27 per cent, below that
of last year at the corresK)iiding pe
riod, and railroad earnings continue
to show a comparative decline of over
13 per cent., as they did in March.
A better demand for money abroad
than in Xew York has caused fur
ther large shipments of gold; but
the movement has had no disturbing
effect uiMm the Stock Exchange mar
kets. Exports of merchandise continue
to compare favorably with those of
last year. April f.gures at Xew
York so far show a gain of $2,014.
182 in exports and a decline of $11.
(o5,724 in imports. Treasury re
turns for March showed an excess of
exports of $4.727,8it;, which made
the merchandise balance against
Europe for nine months of the fiscal
year aggregate $223,303, 885. Busi
ness failures in the United States
and Canada during the last week-
numbered 2(4, as against 208 durin
the corresponding week last year.
The cotton markets have lacked
strength. The port ward movement
has continued to run ahead of last
season's figures, exports have fallen
off, and demand from spinners has
been even less satisfactory than it
was in previous weeks. The present
rate of movement suggests the pro

their probable requirements in ad
vance of the new clip season, and
partly because seaboard stocks no
i longer afford the opjxirtunitv for
.. . , . . , , .. ,
S buyers to secure desirable selections.
Tlie depletion of stocks has caused a
j molv conndt.nt holding of supplies by
; Ut?aiers: i,ut prices, as a rule, show-
no advance. The dress goods mills
j are weu t.mployed, and there is a very
fair demand in preparation for fall
wants; but orders for heavy goods
for men's wear have been compara
tively small.
Wheat prices have been depressed
by speculative liquidation, continued
indifference on the part of forc'gn
buyers and much more encouraging
crop reorts. Late investigations
have disclosed the fact that the dam
age from the March blizzards was
less serious than had been appre
hended. Favorable weather condi
tions have caused considerable recu
peration of the crop in many locali
ties, and the general outlook has
been much improved. Visible stoc ks
of wheat have declined, but are still

bullish sacculation. Prices of wheat
are 1 J to 21 cents per bushel lower
than they were a week ago, the
greater decline having been in the
Chicago market.
Corn prices, on the other hand,
have advanced I to ; of a cent ier
bushel, locause the interior move
ment has decreased. There has been
a considerable reduction in visible
supplies, and demand has been well
ustained both for home consumption
and for export. Values of hog pro
ducts have been well maintained,
and Chicago prices of lard are 30
cents per loo pounds higher than
they were a week ago. Receipts of
hogs at Western centres have con
tinued large, and since March 1 pack
- 1 ing operations have increased T
per cent, as compared with those of
the corresponding season last j"ear.
Exports of provisions are large, the
clearances of meats and lard last
week having aggregated 23,310,000
