Mingling with Sena tors and Senators of the minority par ty results in the impression that official Democracy tho' disappointed by the result of the election, is not dismayed. Dixieaud Tammany will have a very firm bold upon the next Congress and will be a pable of making a great deal of trouble for the champions of extravagance and imperi alism; If they cannot pasH les olutions of investigation and appoint committees, they can at least indulge in a very great variety of irritating and embarrassing remarks. Meantime ockrell and Ijfal sell have peaMully lal'en up on each other's necks, and the status quo antebellum reigns ence more. Democratic members of both houses will fraternally partie ipate in the inauguration ex ercisee, and both the' Presi- ent and .his democratic ps- coft will, fprget; what t h e y said about' him jn October. It will be "interest jug to see Seuator Car mack and Repre sentative Kitchin haye' any place on the inauguration committee. - t is understood that these twain are expect ed Irom thfipi.klent's gener al amnesty. They enjoy on ly the privilege of ticket-of leave men. It looks toay as if the in anguration ball would take place where the inauguration itselt will take place at the Capitol building. The House objects to tearing up the Pension Office and interrupt- ing business there, and the Senator objects to granting the use of the Congressional Library by far the most ap propriate place for it. The Inauguration Commit tee announces that no re freshments will be provided for the publie a quite super fluous announcement, as no President since Jackson has tried to feod the oi polloi. He tried. Receiving avast cheese weighing several tons from a New York farmer, he placed it in the center of the East Room of the White House, then called 'the Palace." The popalace made a rush for it. They clawed it; they scooped., it out. They flung it at the chandaliers and carried it from room to room, tramp led it under foot on the car pet and the odor thereof as cended fo heaven. But there were other things. A letter written of that time wrote: "A profusion of refreshments had been provided. Orange pun-h by barrelful was made but, as waiters opened the door to bring it out, a rush followed, the glass was bro ken, the pails of liquor upset and the most painful confu sion prevailed. To such a de gree was this carried that wine and ice cream could not be brought to the ladies, aud tubs of punch were taken in to the garden to entice the crowd from the Palace. It was mortifying to sea men, With boots heavy, with mud standing on the damask sat in covVred chairs, from their ' ... . be no attempt to feed the A inerican people on March the 4tb however mnch bis stienu osity might enjoy the sight. Secretary Taft, just back from Panauifhns spent some time this week helping to res cue the Philippine bill from defeat. The debate on the bill touched mainly on the right of Congress to dele gate to the Philippine com mission power to revise the insular tariff: Several Repuo lican Senators as well nsDem ocrats denied that right. Sen ator Newlandb urged a reduc tlon of the interest on the railroad bonds whi-h the Philippine government mnst guarantee, from five per cent to two, and a half per cent insisting that the TT. S. would be morally bound to redeem rn uonns ana oy assuming the legal responsibility for them they could easily be sold for a higher price. Sen ator Car mack got thf floor yesterday with his usual ef fectiveness. He said that af ter the late election he might not have courage to take any farther part in debates had not the President in his message distinctly nlligned himself with the Democrats and AntMmperinlist. The President expressed the hop (hat the time would come when the Pbilippides .would hold such a relation to the United States as Cuba now holds the very thinrfadvo- cated in the Democrati plat form. Would not the Presi dent's message ant'eipating sell-govern men tf oi those peo pie tend to excite insurrec tion there? The President fur thersaid that our presence io the Phillipines was justifl ed onlo by an effort to aid and assist them. These ''two utterances, qualify the Presi dent for membership in t h e Washington Apti Imperialist League," said the Senator amid laughter. The bill pass ed last evening bv a party vote. The confirmation of the sen tenpes of Machon, Lorenze, and the Groffs isgreeted with "I told you so," on the part ol Rpnblicans who promis ed that official delinquencies should be punished. In this connection it is announced in the Post-Master General's re port that 1,593 post offices were robbed during the lat fiscal year. And this recalls ineitably the optimistic pre diction of Senator Beveridge who, in on ? of his oratorical rainbows asseverated that our government of the Phil ippines wonld be reflected back upon the United States and immensely raise the mor al standard of our peopl. Tbis is a good time to invite his attention to the. prophe cy. For instance our laws a. gainst smugglingseems to be Violated with impunity by our naval officers the frag rant Porto Rican scandal has not cea'sed to assail our olfactories when comes the detention of the thousands of dollars worth of dutible goods sm uggled frornJapaa. These were eords of ostrich feather?, Japanese fans Jap anese hronz"S and silverware all protected by U, S. naval officers and consigned to a Baltimore firm. Hundreds of emapciated, gulled and ' tired horses are tugging, staMiug and falling in painful effort to do the work which, until Senator Hale from Maine came to town was done by a donkey locomotive. Millions of cu bic feet of earth are being ex cavated for the new palatial House aud senate offices that are to be built nt each end of the Capitol. Senator Hale's splendid carriage horses e vinced some surprise and shi ed at the little iron horse. Nobody was hurt; the Sena tor was only a little scared; but he arbitrarily ordered the locomotive removed and the result is the tragedy ol toil and beating of wretched horses that must work for a month to do what the ma chine would do painlessly iu four days, SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH The family of,, Mrs. M.

"Cheerfulness is not alwa.vs spontaneous; it is greatly a habit, and bears cultivation, One who can contrive to bear a smiling face through a world where there are so ma ny troubled hearts may uu eonciously be a benefactor." AVEBY CLOSE CALL. "I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerv was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy a locomotive fireman, of Burlington Iowa. "I was weak and pale without any appetite and all run down. A 1 was about to eive up, I got a bottle of Electric Bitters and after taking it, I felt as rood as I ever did in my life," Weak sickly, run down people always gain new life strength and vigor from their use. Try them. Satis faction guaranteed by M. B.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness aooa disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon (or a child to be born afflicted with weak kkK neys. If the child urto ates too often. If the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon It. the causa f . the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the flsst step should be towards the treatment. el these important organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit AS most people suppose.
