v(Jl. ix. BOONE, W ATAUGA V COUNTY, N. C, THURSDAY, APBIL, NO. XVII 7. X f 1 fv WO .. ." WASHINGTON , LETTER from tut Kegndtr Corraipondmt. The Democr a ts of the House in caucus endorsed the state ments made by Representa tive Bailey, of Texas, when Representative Dingley, in re sponse to Representative Jer ry Simpson's protest, blut.t ly stated that . the Republi cans did not intend to allow nnj geperal legislation by the House at this session. Mr, Bailey said:. , We arenot inclined to insist upon the Republican party legislating. We fee) that the country suf fers - when the Republican party legislates. We have contended this all our lives, I nd we sincerely believe it. We have no desire to urfte the Republican party to make laws, but we desire to understand its policy. We arahere ready to discussany measures you desire to bring up, but believing that nine out of ten of them would be bad we arn ready to nelpyou it your policy is to do noth in." In the death of ex-Senator D. W. Voorhees, which occurr ed Saturday morning at his Washington residence, the Democratic party lost one of its ablest and hardest work era, a man who has, fornear ly half a century occupied s Dlace in the front lanfcs of Democracy in every National campaign. Mr. Voorhees had been in failing health for sev eral years, but his cteath was entirely unexpected although he was in his Seventieth year. - Hon. V. J. Bryan arrived in Washington to-day from Florida. This evening he was given a reception by the Old Dominion Club and de livered an address before the law school of Columbian Uni versity, and to-morrow even ing he will be the guest of honor at the big Democratic Jefferson celebration." Among the many promi nent business men who are in Washington for the pur Dose of pointing out to the Senate Committee on Fi nance, the bad featuresofthe tariff bill, is. Marshall Field, the widely Known Chicago merchant. Mr. Field was asked it he cared to make a statement for publication concerning the tariff bill, and be replied: "No, except the one general remark that it is the worst tariff bill I ever saw, not only as regards the rates of duty imposed, but in the complicated and ambiguous methods of imposing them There is scarcely a line in the bill that will not have to bo Interpreted by the Supreme Court." Speaking of whether the Democrats in the Senate ought to resort to filibuster .ing to delay or defeat the tariff bill, ex-Representative , Clunie, of California, said: 'I am in fayor of allowing the Republicans absolute sway and full scope in the making of a ta riff. The freer they are left to work their will the quicker will the country re- pudiate their uctsj for 1 hold that prosperity can never . come from taxation; but on ly'from. a readjustment--of our financial system inai will put silver back to its old footing of equality with gold." This is substantially the position taken by Sena tor Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National Com mittee, in a letter made pub lic a few days ago, and which I is endorsed by most of the Democrats in both branches of Congress, s The Rebublicans are doing considerable worrying about the civil service rules and how they are going to get arouudjhem, at least, those who are after office are. About, the only man who has already cot his office who has shown any special interestin this matter, is Pub lie Printer Palmer, who has been practically discharging Democrats from the govern ment printing office, by ask ing for their resignations, ev ery day since he took charge. - Ex-Congressman Bowden, of Vu., who is to become Federal office-holder, voiced the opinion of the office-seek ers when he said: "I have met during my present visit to Washington with llepub lienns from every part of the Union, and almost to a man they are opposed to civil ser vice reform, so-called. It is a fact that there is a revolt against the whole system and t for one, would be glad to see it demolished for nl ime. I believe President McKinley is going to do what he thinks is right, but 1 do not believe he is going to ig nore the claim of 'those who stood by him in the cam paign." .That sort of talk is heard every day, but Mr. McKinley has given no sign. and it is doubtful whether he will set aside any of tho ex tensions of the civil service rules made by Mr. Cleveland, unless authorized by Con gress to do so, and the aver age Republican Congress man, while willing to talk against the civil service law to" please their office-seeking constituents, will hesitate about voting against it, 'find there are a number of them who will stand by the law through thick and thin. Boss rlatt s henchmen are much exercised over a report that Theodore Roosevelt. who will qualify ae Assistant Secretary of- the Navy in a few days, having already been nominated and confirm ed, will investigate the Brook lyn navy yard. It was bo ra used they feared this very thing that they fought Roos evelt's appointment to this place, At Kuoxvilie Thomas Alley sues Eliza A. Alley for di. voice.

It is hard to make a cold prayer in a warm prayer meeting. Wherever the truth is made known, God is speaking. Cultivate the habit of carting all your care upon Christ. Be a happy christian and God will make you a useful one. We are always in great danger when we hold on to a littlb sin. the mercies of God.lilcegrapofl, are always found in clusters. Christ is not well received where bis servant is improperly treated. The man who keeps a bull dog should not talk' very much in church. The great man of to day shows us what all men may be by and by. The greater onr growth in grace the greater our need of common sense. It is hard to believe that there is death in the sin that wears a mask of gold. No man is strong whose char- acter has not stood the tee1; of itian.r trials. The fault-finder would growl about the weather if it were rain- ing money. ... The world is full ot blind Sam son a, who spend their liven grind ing in a mill. Determine every day to do your prayerful best and leave the re sult with God. A big man in a little world is as much out of place as a little man in a big oue. When we get to the end of life we shall find that nothing has been lost. ' . . Seek first the kingdom of God, and no gilt the world can give will ever hurt you. Give until you feel it, and you will feel more like giving than you did before.

It is a well-known fact that paper money is liahl to transfer bacteria from one person to another, and thus spread contHgious vliseases. It i8al8osnpposed tjiatcoins. which are more in circulation than notes, might similarly act as agents for fcprending diseases, and investigations in that direction "were made at the Vienna University when Austria chanted i t s currency to the gold basin A report about bis observa tions was recently published by Dr. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Gazette, in which he states that metals act, so to speak, as antiseptics in re gard to bacteria, or mil robes the fact being that these microscopic organisms have but a veiy short lease of life while on metals. The destroy ing influences ot metals in crease with their temperature and also with the closo touch of the micro-organisms with tile metal. At a tempera ture'of ninety-five to 100 de grees Fahrenheit, which is common in the pockets where money is carried, the detruo tion of microbes occurs with in three hours. The various metals used for roins are somewhat differentin this re spect, silver being the most antiseptic and gold the least.
