Time will noon tell, hut n Senator Tillman said a nhort time ngo, the repuh Hcan f)rirty has The best or ganization any partr has ev er had in Congress, an although- there are at times spin tiering and kicking, .in the end the orders of thelioss are nsunlly earned out to the letter. In this ease, the order is to hang up the Nica ragnn Canal Bill. A Senator who wishes Senator Morgan success, but whose name is not given, quoted by a lo cal paper ns having said: ''I am aware, and so is every body else who has given the sul.ject dosr attention, that the administration is ojipos- e to mi Amfiican lntn-O- rcanie Canal, and in the hope of t)reveriting.ihe eonsuinma tion of the enterprise, the Hay Poneefote treaty was framed. This cannot be eon elnsively shoivn to the peo ple until a bill ignoring nlto- geth r Great Biitairj's Haim to consideration in the mat ter is pissed bvrongressanil sent to the President for ap proval. , I am satisfied that Mr. McKinletr will have to e to it, much ns he would fenr the result of su'h nn act; then he and his party could no longei claim that t h e y were not committed to a part neisliip with England in this canal proposition." Senator Allison verv frankly states that ihe administration Sen ators intend to defeat Sena- to" Morgan and prevenr the taking up of theCanal bill by the Senate at this session of Congress. Another play was made in tie aomui'srration s game with England, when Secreta ry Hay and the British Am I assndor signed a new acree ment extunling the time with a a .a in which the two govern ments may exchange ratifica tion of the Canal treatv.now hung up in the Senate, seven months Ir.uii the 5th of m'Xt August, whiclj was the limit set by the last agreement. Un less Senators eat their words that treaty will not be ratih ed by the Senate, as at pres ent made up. The Porto Rica n la w h a i already had to be remedied by additional Congressional legislation, nnd the Havaii an law will have to be. The latter failed to provide for a collector of Internal Revenue or for nn extension of the U. S. Postal laws, nnd Se'Teta iy Gage has informed - t h e Cabinet that he does not con sidered the authority given 1 him by the In w sufficient to just if v the payment of the Ha wuiiati public debt. The conn trj will not forget that the republicans are responsible . . I3r this rid Ththok- sbp-shod legisla t ion , forced through t'oiigress und'T the party whip and spur. Senator Butler, of North (arolina. Chairman of t h e Populist National Commit tee, before lea ving Washing ton to attend the Sioux Falls Convention, declared ' t bat tha Convention would nomi nate Col.' Bryan for President by acclamation, and would sdopt the platform of '96. with new declaim ions to meet our foreijrn problems nnd the trust question. 01 trusts, ben ator Butler said: The peo ple's party has always been against trusts." rind we be li ve that the three greatest trusts relate to money; trans pollution and. the. trnnsmi sion of intelligence. People who control these trusts can control the government, and we will, therefore suggest that these' three great factors in the nation's development should be under governmen tal control.' Democrats vvoidd ask noth ing better than that Secreta iy Long, who seemsjust now to be the favorite candidate, should be nominated on the Mcjvinley ticket for Vice Pi es ident. Mr. Lang's attitude in the Schley-Sampson con troversy has bfcen such that he would materially weaken the ticket. v The decision of U. S. Judge Lo -hetvn, at St. Paul, Minn , that the U. S. Constitution has extended to Porlo Rico on the day that the terms of the treaty of peace with Spain Aent intn iff. ct, has greatly disturbed administration cir -bs, foreshadowing, ns it does, a similar decision on the part of the United States Supreme Court 'when an op portunity is offered. If t h e power and influence of the ad ministtation can prevent it, no opportunity will be given the Supreme Court to pass on the question until after the Presidential election. Representative Dick, of 0., otherwise kinwn as H o s s Banna's man Friday, has gone to CinciniHtti, w'vere the midale-of the rjad popu. lists will hold their national conventon thi.. week, a n d there are good reasons for t!ie belief that he expects to play a leading part in con trolling the action of that convention. Senators have reen publicly saying for some time that anna's agents were offering free transport tion and hotel expenses to delegates to that convention from various sections of the country. It in Hanna's inten tion that this convention shall nominate a ticket of its own in opposition to that nominated at Sionx Falls, which he relieH upon to help the republicans carry several stares by splitting the popu list vole, and Dick has been sent to see that theintention is carried out.

C, on June the 5th, 1735, and de Darted this life April 25th. 1900. She was married tbG. H. HatstinJan. 31st. 1850 -J When about fifteen years of age she embraced religion and joined the M. E. Church, and ever nfter adorned her profession by a consistent, faithful christian life. She was a devoted, wifeand the loving mother of t h r e e children, a son and twodaugh tens. Nothing could be more beautiful than her love for her children. No distance w-as great enough to keep her from them if hbe thought they needed assistance. She was faithful to all herfriends. ever ready to lend a helping hand in time of nr-ed. The sick and unfortunate were her special care. Her last visit was to see a sick child, nnd many delicacies have found their way from her hand into si-k rooms, where her presence was al ways welcome. She was lov ed by all and will lie missed by all. For several, yea i slier health has been delicate and she has suffered a great deal, but she bore it all with christian sub mission and wasalwayscheer fnl. Although her pains were very severe she spent most of the last night of her life in prayer, and she was often heard to say; "My Jesus mv home, iny heavn, my . all." All that affection and medi cal skiil could do for her res torn tion was done but to no avail. The end came at a bout 0 o'clock in the morn ing, and she who for nearly (55 years had braved the storms of the restless sea of life, laid down the habilim ents of earth, and peacefully passed away to that other and better country wherethe inhabitants never f.Vl pain. ' The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. .lame- P. Matney on the morninj; o( the 27th. and the beloved form was borne to its last resting place in a sunny spot near Laurel Fork church and committed to f heearth. Dust to dust but oh! that awful, hollow sound, oncehea id nev er forgotten, the falling of the clods upon the coffin lid. With tear-stained faces we have gazed for th last, time upon the mortal remains of our dear friend. When we he hold her again she will be clothed with immortality and we shall see with immortal eyes. Il'ith sad hearts we say goodbye but not lorever. We shall meet again. Death is only n transfer, the gate way of entrance to the home of our Father, where our lov ed ones bask in the unfading beams of the Sinless Slimmer Land and with songs of ulad ness await burcoming home To the bereaved husband, the motherless children and the host of friends and tela tives'we ex 'end deep and ear nesc sympathy and pray for them the sustaining grace of God in their bereavement.

Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that i h e affliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's.- pain balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this state ment.
