FOR THE BLOODlUVLK,Lvnu
'Experience has shown to physicians
thaj the majority of diseases have their
origin in the derangement or disease of
the stomach and other organs of diges
tion and nutrition. The stomach is the
receptacle in which food is received and
thelaboratbry in which it is prepared to
nourish the different parts of the body.
It prepares brain nourishment in one
way, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another. When
the stomach is "out of order" these
various forms of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly' prepared, and
nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case
may be, is only partly fed, and the result
lis pain, which is Nature's protest and
"warning. The pain may be in the head
or- in the heart, but you must reach it
through the stomach or you can't cure
it. That is the philosophy on which Dr.
Pierce's Go'den Medical Discovery ia
prepared. It has absolute control of
the stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. It cures diseases in head, heart,
liver, lungs and other organs by curing
the diseased condition of the stomach
which prevents the proper nourishment
of the various organs and corrupts them
by its own diseased condition, in the
partial nourishment it provides. In like
' manner " Golden Medical Discovery."

Jl'DGE NOT.
A. A. PROOTOK.
Judge not; the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see;
What looks to, thy dim eyes a stain,
In God's pure sight may only be
A scar brought from some well-won
field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and
yield.
The look, the air that frets thy sight,
May be a token that below
The soul has closed in deadly fight '
With some infernal fiery foe,
Whose giance would scorch the smil-
-- mg grace, .
And cast thee shuddering on thy face.
The fall thou dare&t to despise
Maybe the slackened angel's hand
Has suffered it that he may rise
Ana take a firmer, surer stand;
Or trusting less to earthly things
May henceforth learn to use his
wings.
And judge none lost, but wait and
see.
With hopeful pity, not disdain;
The depth of the abys3 may be
' The measure of the height of pain
And love, a glory that may raise
This soul to God in after days.

Final Debate on the t orto Rican
Government Bilf to Begin "
on Monday.
SENATOR FAIRBANKS SPEECH
Sopported Vigorous! the Peodiog Mess,
ore Proceedlojji ! the Hoose--The
Fortification Bill Passed Tie
Negro Problem Discussed.
By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. -
Washington, March 31. So far as
the committee in charge of the meas
ure is concerned, the Porto Rican bill
was completed to day with the excep
tion of two amendments, which Sena
tors had requested should lie over un
til Monday. The final two daysSle
bate on the bill will begin at 11 o'clock
Monday. At 4 o'clock Tuesday after
noon the vote will be taken on the
pending amendments and the bill.
The feature of to day's session was
an exhaustive, discussion of the pend
ing measure by Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana. Particular interest was mani
fested by Senators on both sides of the
chamber in the speech, in view of the
attitude of Senator Fairbanks' col
league Mr. Beveridge. He supported
vigorously and unequivocally the
pending measure, making an argu
ment, which some of his colleagues
said would attract widespread atten
tion. .
Consideration of the Porto Rican bill
beiog resumed, Senator Bacon, Georgia,
made a statement concerning the sub
stitute he offered yesterday for. the
pending unfinished' business. He de
sired, he said, to arrogate to himself
no credit for the substitute, as it was
the measure originally prepared by
Senator Foraker and amended slightly.
He could not speak for all the mem
bers on his side of the chamber, but he
knew that as he had introduced the
measure in the utmost good faith some
Democrats at least would support it. It
presented, he thought, the best propo
sition yet made as to Porto Rico, inas
much as it provided a free territorial
government of the United States. The
pending question was on the amend
ment offered by Senator Allen, Ne
braska, providing that ihe bill should
designate Porto Rico as a territory of
the United States.
Senator McComas received a state
ment of Mr. Havemeyer, president of
the American Sugar Refilling Com
pany, in which he argued in favor of
the free admissioa to the Unitrd States
of sugar from Porto Rico and express
ed the belief that the time would come
soon when it would be admitted free.
When that section of the bill relat
ing to the legislative assembly of
Porto Rico was reached, Senator
Pettus, Alabama, offered this amend
ment: "That the legislative assembly
of Porto Rico shall have no power or
authority to enact any law in conflict
with the constitution of the United
States."
The amendment was lost 15 to 31.
Senator Fairbanks then addressed
the Senate in support of the pending
measure. . '"
Adverting to the provisions of the
pending bill, Senator Fairbanks said:
"The statement has been frequently
made that the duties were modified
and imposed at the dictation of the
sugar and tobacco trusts.
"The only legislation suggested in
the present Congress which was in the
interest of the sugar and tobacco
trusts was proposed by the senior Sen
ator from Arkansas (Mr. Jones), who
introduced an amendment proposing
to refund to those who had paidit, the
$2,000,000 collected on: imports from
Porto Rico. The money, if the Sena
tor's amendment had been adopted,
would be returned to the sugar and
other trusts and other importer now
suing the government. The money
collected from the trusts and importers
in New York has recently been appro
priated by act of Congress and will in
a few days be sent to Pono Rico, to be
expended in public works, in the
cause of education, and in granting
relief to the poor people requiring it.
"For one; I would regard myself
recreant to Jtbe trust committed to me
and false to the best interests of the
people of the United States, if I did
not by vote compel these trusts and
their allied interests to pay some part
of maintaining the Porto Rican gov
ernment which tfiy do pay under the
duty upon their raw products, rather
than increase the direct taxes upon the
people in the island, or, in the alterna
tive, appropriate it from the treasury
oi tne u nitea estates.
"Mr. President, it has not -escaped
public attention that & lobby from
Porto Rico has been maintained here
during the consideration of the pend
ing' bill. It is headed by a British
subject, who has been insistent for free
t-ade between Porto Rico and - the
United States and who is one of the
largest producers of sugar in the
island, having oyer $800,000 invested
in his sugar enterprises."
The committee amendments, with
the exception of two the one relat
ing to the question of citizenshiD of
Porto Rico and the other fixing the
qualifications of a delegate to the
House of Representatives, of the
United States were agreed .to.
Senator Chandler, chairman of the
Committee on Elections, gave notice
that he would defer asking the Senate
to begin the consideration of the case
of former Senator Quay on Tuesday
next in accordance with the unani
mous consent agreement, but that he
would ask the Senate to proceed with
the case on Wednesday next, either
under the order of the Senate or as a
subject of the highest possible privi
lege. A bill was passed granting lands to

House ot Representatives.
The House to-day finished up a hard
week's work in passing the Fortifica
tions appropriation bill. Not a single
amendment was offered and the bill
passed as it came from the committee.
A three hours political debate was
precipitated, many members on both
sides beta? drawn intn it
Mjf Hemenway, Alabama, in charge
or the bill explained that the measure
carried $7,092,489; being $3,695,240
less tbah the estimates. He said that
the reduction in the estimates had
been made because it had' been
demonstrated that the govern
ment could manufacture its
own guns cheaper than it could
buy them and the appropriations
would be sufficient to keep our gun
factories at work eight hours a day for

Mr.Shattuck.Ohio.under the latitude
allowed in general debate, followed
with an hour's smach on mnKral nnlit-
ical topics, the tariff, expansion and,
puutueru eiecuon laws, in tne course
of his remarks Mr. Shattuck denounced
the inconsistency of Southern states
men in demanding that the natives in
our insular possessions be given all the
immunities of American citizenship,
while they were using all their inge
nuity to rob the Southern negroes of
the constitutional rights conferred
Upon them. He took as his text an ex
tract from a recent speech of Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina. "This
distinguished Southern Senator," said
Mr. Shattuck, "while pleading for
the people in the Philippines,
who are by comparison eighty
per cent less capable of self govern
ment than are any of our people,
while claiming for them' alleged con
stitutional rights, while claiming that
tbey have no right to be governed
without their consent, is at the same
time admitting, and boasting of it too.

that he sanctions the oppression of unr
people, who under our constitution
have the same rights exactly as they
have themselves'.
"Would you shoot a; poor Filipino

you force them to become citizens or
the United States?" he queries. 'No !
Not if every person in the Phil
ippine islands were to peti
tion to become citizens, if .. tbey
were to, receive the samta in
human treatment, after submitting
and after becoming citizens of the
United States, that millions of our
people, who are citizens now, receive
in the South at the hands of the Dem
ocratic party, in shooting submission
into them and forcing them to give
up their political citizenship. (Ap
plause on the Republican side.)
"If you want to learn how the con
sent of the governed is obtained in a
larger field, right here at home, jus.t
read the reports of the contested elec
tion cases which come up here annu
ally from the Southern States. Why,
sir, they vote men down there who
have been dead for five years. They
stuff ballot boxes. They bull doze
and they adopt any measure, and go
to every extreme to accomplish their
purpose.
"So, Mr. Speaker, knowing all these
facts, as I know them, I do not attach
any importance whatever to the in
consistent arguments of these consti
tutional expounders of the 'sympathy

CURRENT COMMENT.
The suggestion of the "open
door" in the Philippines leareB out
of consideration the fact that their
status differs considerably from that
of China We cannot give other
powers concessions which we re
frain from claiming for ourselves.
Baltimore Herald, Dem.
r The most absurd proposition
of the year is the bill to authorize'
the coinage of half-cent pieces. The
one-cent piece is as small as any one
wants to carry, and represents a
goods . valne as small as any one
wants to deal in. Brooklyn Citizen,
Bern.
- We have bo doubt that there
is considerable opposition in the
Democrat ie party to the nomination
of Mr. Bryan for President. It
would bes surprising if there were
not. There is no reason to think,
however, Hhat it will reach such
propositions as to make his nomi
nation doubtful It may be true as
stated in the dispatches that in the
Eastern states the opposition is tak
ing the form of organization. It is
rather strange that the name of no
prominent Democrat is mentioned
as active in shaping the organiza
tion. Savannah Neios, Dem.
A PITIFUL PROCESSION.
The Great Rowing Contest Between tbe
Oxford and Cambridge Crews.
, By cable to the Morning Btar.
London, March 31. The greatest
rowing contest of Europe, that be
tween the Oxford and Cambridge
crews, ended to-day in a most pitiful
procession. The only interesting
feature was that the record time was
equalled. The .losers were beaten be
fore the race began and the hundreds
of thousands that blackened the banks
of the Thames realized it The course
was the usual one, from Putrjey to
Mortlake, atid the official time of the
winner was 18 minutes and 47 seconds
It was the fifty-seventh annual race
between the two colleges.
