It cleanses the scalp from dandruff and thus removes one of the great causes of baldness. It makes a better circu lation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out. 11 Prevems m it Gats Bsiflsscss Ayer's Hair Vigor will surely make hair grow on bald heads, provided only there is any life remain ing in the hair bulbs. It restores color to gray or white hair. It does not do this in a moment, as will a hair dye; but in a short time the gray color of age gradually disap pears and the darker color of youth takes its place.

From oar Eegnlar Correspondent If the republican grumblers in the house hud nerve in proportion to their diasatis faction, the McKinlev rauz zle would be quickly thrown aside and the House would do some business instead ol wasting time, as has been done ever einoe the reassem bling ol Congress, wait ins un til the co rr in it tees have pre pared some bills in accord ance with their instructions, as thedemocrate stand rt-ady to help them at any tuns to restore the proper functions of the House. They nearlr all have bills in which their constituents are interested, that they would like to get action upon, but they dnre not move without permis sion. IV'hen the reDublican floor lender nglects to move an adjournment promptly eti o u g h, Speaker Henderson prods him by saying: "The gentleman from New York mov?s that the House do now adjourn.' As Mr. McKin ley's agent, Speaker Hender eon is out Reeding Tom Reed right along; That the republican lead ers do not feel sure of their ability to jam the ship-subsi dy job through Congress is shown by the nresence in v Washington of ex Senator Edmunds, who has been em ployed, he savs by the ship ping interests, to lobby for the bill, Mr. Edmunds has made elaborate arguments before the committees of the House and Senate in favorof the bill, but tbosearguments were not intenned for the committees, a majority of both having been persuaded to support the bill long ago bv Boss Hanna and his assis tant pushers. Mr. Edmunds is nol a cheap man, and he would not have been employ- ed if his services had not been considered necessarv. His arguments are expected to brace up the weak-kneed republicans who hae candid y acknowledged themselves to be afraid of the ship-subsi dy bill, as well as to furnish ttxts for the republican edit ors to preach from. Democrat! in the House were by no means satisfied with Secretary Gage's alleg ed explanation of his rela tions with t wonational banks in New York nity, and Repre sentative Sulzer offered a rep olution providing for a com mittee of nine to investigate. The republicans had the res olution referred to the Ways and Means Committee where hey can either smother it or fix it up, as their orders may be. By the way, speaking of Gage and the national banks, one of his assist ants, Mr. Van derlip, has had the nerve to say that such letters as the one from a New York nation al bank, calling attention to the political status and work of the members o! its board of directors, as a reason for demanding tavors from the Secretary of the Treasury, are often received. If Mr. Van derlip's statement be correct it uncovers a shameful state of affairs, which furnishes the strongest sort of an argu ment In favor of the demo era tic contention that the U. 8 Treasury sboold be abso lutely divorced from the ban king aystem of the country, and the democrats in Con greps should demand copies of every such letter received by the Secretary of the Trea sury, in order thatthenaraes of those political bankers may be known to the people of the-country. It begins to look as though the opposition to the rerip rocity treaties negotiated un der the Dingley tariff act might be strong enough to defeat them all. Mr. Kasson ho representedlthe United States in negotiating them, and who has been active in trying to get favorable ac tion on them, has gone to Florida for his health, and they ore at a standstill. It is said that he will return later in the session and resume his efforts in behalf of the trea ties, but their opponents claim to be gaining strength all the time. Senntor- elect Blackburn spent Sunday in Washington recei ving the congra tula tions of his friends, but returned to Kentucky to-day so as to be present at his second re-e lection tomorrow which will be gone through so as to leave no room for casting doubt on the legality of his election. When becomes back to Washington to resume his duties as Senator, he will be given n complimentary din ner, which promises to be an old-fashioned love feast, par ticipated in by all the demo crats in Congress and by ma ny others. The friction between Gener al Miles and Adjutant Gener al Corbin has reached an ac- cute stage, and Miles has fil ed a vigorous protest with Secretary Root, in which he asked whether he or Corbin was in command of the ar my, and cited instances where Curbm had pigeon-holed or ders which did not suit him, instead of issuing them. It seems that one one of Boss Hanna's chief literarv agents, First Assistant Post master General Heath, has uleo been sharing in the ad ministration's financial fa vor. Last June, Perry Heath became the largest stock hoi der in the Seventh National Bank of New York City, of which his brother became Vice President, and that im mediately the bank was made the depository for post office funds iu New York. Of course neither poliMcs nor Heath's official position had anything todowithit. Who ever beard of one of the Hanna school of politicians working his of ficial position for bis person al profit?
