cised the aotion of the Democratic side
in the matter of the appropriation
The clause - making the appropriation
for the salary of the President hating
been reached Mr. Bayne, of . Pennsyl
vania, offered an amendment providing
that none of this money shall , be paid
until the civil service rules shall have
been changed as recommended by the
oommittee on appropriations in the. lat
ter portion of the bill. A poujt of
order having been raised against the
amendment, Mr. Bayne, while not con
tending that it was in order, stated that
if it was germane! to the bill at all it
was germane at this point.
Mr. Findlsy, of Maryland, said that
the provision, whether in; the form pre
sented by the gentleman from Pennsyl
vania or m its original, form, was a
proposition conceived in a spirit of the
purest buncombe for the1 boldest pur
poses of the most transparent dema-
Suery. There was no man here who
oubted that it was subject to a point of
order and therefore would be thrust out
of the bill as an irrelevant and imperti
nent intruder. There was no man who
doubted that, if by any miscarriage
suoh should not be its fate when it got
to the 8enate, that body would trample
it under foot, with the scorn and eon
tempt it deservedl If, contrary to rea
son and precedent, it should pass that
body, it would confront a hostile exec
utive who wouldite it his approval
only under the compulsion cf the forced
position to which he had been driven by
his own political friends. This House
(and by this he meant the Democratic
majority) had already rudely turned its
back on one of the principal reforms m
the currency of the country, recom
mended by the President, and as if that
had not been enough, it now proposed
to knock from under him the very foun
dation-stone of his political creed and
public succcess.j And this was
politics, and 'these were ; lead
ers ! If it were not so serious a
subject a man might sit down and
laugh at this old party, preserving its
succession and name, if not its policy
and principles, through half a century
of conflict and varying fortune, fighting
battles for twenty-five, years only to lose
them; without one break in a1 long
ehain of reverses, and then at last, after 1
all this long postponement, disappoint
ment, mortification and defeat, when
party victory had brushed aside the
black cloud of disaster and revealed the
silver lining to its inspired gaze.
Lether intoxicated by the spectacle
or mad from excess of joy, the "grand
old party," unequal to the task of de
liberate contemplations of its own splen
did achievement, asked to be dismissed
in the very moment of its triumph and
on the very spot where it had achieved
it. It had voted down the honest dollar
and it now proposed to tear away the
safeguard to the most valuable law on
the statute-book. I Let no gentlemrn de
ceive himself. The gentleman from In
diana, (Mr. Holman), in response to a
Suestion a few days ago, had said that
lie object of the amendment was to deal
out even-handed justice, and the gen
tleman from Illinois (Mr. Springer)
had stilt more plainly let the House
know that it was intended to give a
partisan Instead! A ofn non-mirtiaan
services that the effect of the amend
ment requiring 'certification of a full
list of eligiblesj to the appointing
poweCrwould be to give a partisan in
stead of a non-partisan service. It was
not a mere matter of conjeeturarspecula
tion it was a matter of experience, demon
strated, boasted ef, gloated over by the
Baltimore postmaster. This ' ingenious
young man had a whole list of eligibles
in his hands, j
A voice : lWhat is he?" j
Mr. Findlay : f'He is a Democrat. He
was a Democrat in offioe. . He was ap
pointed by tbe President to offioe. That
fixes his democracy, I suppose, though
that is a question of. some doubt.
(Laughter and applause). He got a list
of eligibles Jin his own hands
and what use did he make of it. Accord
ing to his statement; before an ex
aminer of the civil service commission,
who was in Baltimore, he made such
good use of it that in less space than a
year he had turned out very republican
in that offioe and had a democrat iu his
place, without missing fire once. ::
While Mr. Findlay was delivering his
speech members from both sides of the
House erowded around him and his last
sentenoe was reeeived with a burst of
hisses and applause, the applause being
partly intended for the cutiments ex
pressed by Mr. Findlsy and partly in
approbation of the action of the Balti
more postmaster. Turning defiantly to
wards the Democratic side, Mr. Findlay
exclaimed: "When you applaud the
effect of this amendment then you mean
to say that certification of all eligibles
will result in what you have ap
plauded. Then you mean to say that-
the object of this i amendment.
is to give a partisan and not a non-par
tisan service. Applaud just as long as
you please. Neither hisses nor applause
will deter me from the discharge of
what I consider my duty." (Applause)
Mr. Findlay continued to review the
action of thej Baltimore i postmaster.
This ingenious young man, he said,
with tho aid of more expert manipula- jj
tors still, had violated the law and the
rules of the civil service commission
and still boasted that if bu had only
been spared a little longer iu hU ylsute
he would have: turned over the Demo
cratic civil; service reform postofiioe to
his suocessor. (Laughter and applause.
There was not a man in the House who
did not know what the effect of
the provision would be., Mr. Comptox,
of Maryland, said the .assault hia
colleague had made on the iate post
master at Baltimore was as undeserved!
as any one man . had made on another..
Yfho was that! postmastes.T j He was thai
peer ef the gentleman from Maryland!
(Mr. Findlay) or any other gentleaaan
on this floor or anywhere as a ma ef
character and! intelligence and a Demo
crat. The oi vil service had sought, by
every eilort and by every means n could
employ, to show that he. had violated
the law of that scrvioe because he had
removed frost offioe a lot of polities!
scalawags and a lot of uopriucipled
scoundrels, associates of his oolLeague
in last fall's campaign, when ho (Mr.
Findlay) halougjit to defeat the Dem
ocratic ticket. ; Applause n the Dem
ocratic side. :
Immediately the House was in an up
roar, but above the noise Mr. Findlay
wss heard to inquire angrily whether
his colleague meant to say that he asso
ciated ;with scalawags and scoundrels.
Either!; the confusion prevented Mr,
rompton from hearing Mr. Findlay's
question or drowned his reply thereto,
-but the gentlemen stood within a few
fee t of one another, an grily gesticulating ,
while other members of the .House
gathered around and took much interest
in the? scene: Speaker Carlisle, who
was in the chamber, approached the
speaker's desk and Was apparently ready
to seise the gavel and exert his author
ity in case the; demonstration became
more threatening, but chairman Blount
was equal to the emergency and soon
succeeded in securing comparative quiet.
An angry colloquy between these two
Maryland members continued for some
time. ; Mr. Findlay secured the last
word, ; saying: "We have a real de
mocracy in Maryland and a spurious
democracy that ' has corrupted and de
bauched the franchise of our State, and
has made, through the agency of the
President here, a recommendation of
men who ojre their offices to such in
fluences as have made the name of civil :
service reform stink by the character of
the appointments made. I am in favor '
of civil service reform, not 'snivel ser-:
vice reform', but genuine civil service
reform, and I say that whenever the
day comes that it shall be recognized as
the policy of the country that every
four years a hundred thousand offices
are to be put,up for sale and knocked
don to the highest bidder, though
this country has stood every strain and
trial, that strain will be too great;
for the Union will be confronted with
the most dangerous enemy that
has ever attacked its - peace or
threatened its integrity. (Applause.)
Mr.; Buyne's amendment was ruled
out pfl order and some little discussion
arose is to the proper mode of appro
priating for the salary of the presiding
officer; of the Senate. It was finally
agreed to strike out the clause appro-;
printing $8,000 for the salary of Vioe-;
President and to appropriate . $3,000 to
pay . sttoh Senator as might be selected
to preside over the Senate. ;
The civil service section having been
reached, Mr, Morrison made a point of

The above is an illustration of the
new hotel which has just been com
pleted at Warm Springs and; will be
regularly open for the season July 1.
i is anouer evidence oi wnat enter
prise and money are doing in the lovely
country beyond, the Blue Ridge. People
from all parts of the State have for
years been familiar with Warm Springs.
The hotel was built by wealthy men
from New York city. It is an immense
structure, of elaborate design and grace
fully proportioned, it is truly South
ern in generous pisxsa space, for there
are 1,000 feet of piassas and promen
ades on the ground floor alone. The
famous baths, a great feature of the
ftlace, have been developed astonishing
y. The great warm water swimming
pool is 100x30 feet, in which both sexes
can bathe as at the seaside. There are
sixteen individual pools. All are lined
with white marble. North Carolina is
certainly coming to the front in the mat
ter of summer resorts.

The "Rose of Sharon' has long been
disputed point The! Hebrew word
khabatseleth occurs only in Canticles ii
1, and Isaiah xxxy., 1; the revised vi
sion reads "rose" in the text and "au
tumn crocus in the margins We an
of opinion that the ! narcissus (N.
Tazetta) is intended. Tbe scene of tb
Canticles is in the spring, 'when the
narcissus would : be in blossom; it it
very sweet, has long been and still is
plant ef which the Orientals are pas
sionately fond; Hasselqmst noticed it on
the plain of Sharon; Ins tram in cult'-
vated land and lower hills from (issa to
Lebanon; Mr. H Chichester Hart in tlic
districts between Yebdna and Jaila
(Plain of Sharon). "Some low-lying
patches, he says, "were quite white
with it. The Uctooer quarterly state
ment (Palestine exploration fund) con
tains a valuable paper by Mr. llart.
entitled "A Naturalist's Journey to
Sinai, feira and South Palestine, m:d
in the autumn of 1883 " The autumn
crocus has no perfume, and would not
be in bloom till late m tbe year. The
narcissus is a bulbous plant, which is
apparently implied in part of its Hebrew
name i. e., bstsel, a "bulb," an
"onion." But quite a different plant
has very recently appeared as the true
claimant to the honor of being the
"Rose of Sharon;" an Assyrian plant
name is introduced to us by Dr. F
Delitzsoh. Among the names of the
different kinds of kanu. "reed." and of
objects made of it, occurring on a tablet
in the British museum and published in
"The Cuneiform Inscription of Western
Asia", mention is made of one called
khabatsillatu, which in sound is identi-
aal with the Hebrew name in Cantio'es
and Isaiah, so that Dr. F. ' Delitsohs,
without a moment s hesitation, upsets
all other floral aspirants with one deeid
ed blow and reads "reed of the Sharon,
the desert shall rejoice and sprout like

Some years ago a Western town had
finished a small wooden bridge across a
little stream, which ran through its bor
ders. The Chairman of the Selectmen,
was appointed to deliver a speech at its
dedication, the occasion being made a
holiday. ": Arrayed in his Sunday best,
with the - citisens gathered "around; ' he
commenced as follows -"Ladies and gen
tleman, years ago" and here he halted
at loss for words; again he commenced,
"Ladies and gentlemen, 40 years ago, the
bridge on which we now stand'' -and
stopped again. Feeling in one pocket after
another for the manuscript of his carefully
prepared oration, and being unsuccessful
m his search, with perspiration starting
from every pore at the knowledge of his
position, he commenced again. : "Ladies
and gentlemen 40 years ago the bridge
on which we now stand was part and par
cel of the howling wilderness," again .he
reached a halt. Unable to remember an
other word, once more he floundered
through the sentence and closed it fer
vently thus, "And I wish to Heaven it
was now." Imagine, if you can, the em
barassment of the would-be orator and the
delight of his audience at the sudden ter
mination of his speech. Though the dedi
cation was incomplete, the bridge stood
as long and carried as safely as it would
had the remarks been more extended and
reached their completion. It was well
made, well supported and strong.
As in -the case of the bridge, which de
pended on the skill of the 'maker and the
strength of the material for the benefit it "
was to the public, rather than upon any
words of commendation which might have
been uttered; so with a medicine prepar
ed for the relief and cure of suffering. To -be
of lasting value the skill of the maker
and the ingredients of its composition
must be the best. , The proprietors of
frown's Iron Bitters devoted time and
means to secure the best chemical skill
and the purest and best materials to pro
duce an absolutely trustworthy Iron medi
icine. Believing all otUer Iron prepara
tions on the market unsafe or improperly
compounded, they experimented until
they succeeded in producing a pure and
valuable tonic whose stimulating effect
upon the blood is not due to whisky or
other deleterious articles among its in
gredients. Placed upon the market as a trustworthy,
lurifying and strengthening medicine -
rown's iron .Bitters nas steaxmy in
creased in the esteem of the people.
Those who have realized its beneficial
effect in disorders of the Stomach, Liver
and Kidneys have recommended it to
their friends, and thus the sale has con
tinually increased until it surpasses that
of any medicine in the country. This has
excited the envy of Some small minds and
resulted in more than one imitation of
this invaluable medicine. The malice of
these imitators is shown in their trying to
sell their spurious goods on the reputation
of Brown's Iron Bitters, and so defraud the
sufferers from diseases which Brown's Iron
Bitters cures. To keep the blood pure and
strong use Brown's Iron Bitters and you
will not suffer from headache, will not be
troubled with constipation. These two in
dications of an impure condition of the
blood are the first to make their presence
known, but they are followed by Dyspep
sia and Indigestion from which so many
suffer and of which they long to be re
lieved. Thousands already cured should
be proof to you that this medicine will
cure you. In these diseases the conditions
are always much the same and Brown's
Iron Bitters removes these conditions.
At this season of the year when you are
suffering from Spring Fever and lassitude
and lack of vitality control your body, you
will find a sure" relief in Brown's Iron Bit
ten, with none of the unpleasant after ef
fects of quinine. Chills and Fevers are
cured by Brown's Iron Bitters. One great
objection to all other Iron preperationa
Is they discolor and destroy the teeth.
Brown's Iron Bitten does'nt do this.
Ladies can use it with bene and without
fear of causing headache or constipation
which all other Iron preparations do.
Too will know the genuine Brown's Iron
Bitten by the trade mark and crossed red
lines oa the wrapper. Sold everywhere.
