The real rough rider is the man who rides the river With a twisting, squirming log for a saddle, on which he stands, balanc-, ing himself to its: every motion. If his coolness fails, or his nerve gives way, disaster and death reach out for him. It's the giving way of the " nerve " which proves fatal to o many a man. Per haps he is simply crossing the street, as he has done ten thousand times. He hears a shout, stops, hesitates, gets " rattled " and is run over. When a man finds that his memory plays him false often, when he starts off to get something and forgets what he went for, when he inows he has locked the front door and yet an irritating uncertainty compels him to get up and verify his knowledge, then that man is in dan ger at any minute when confronted by a trifling danger. He is unnerved. This condition can be perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It strengthens the stom ach, nourishes the nerves, and purifies the blood. It contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. - " The reason I delayed writing was because I wanted to wait one year after I had taken the medicine before giving my statement, and now I can send a good, conscientious testimonial," writes Chas. H. Sergeant, Esq., of Plain City, Madison Co., Ohio. " During the summer and fall of 1896 I became all " run down," nerves were out of order and stomach out of order. I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice. He said I had Sneral debility, and advised Dr. Pierce's Golden edical Discovery, and, thanks to you for your advice, I used six bottles ; and since I stopped taking it, about one year ago, I have not taken any medicine of any kind, and have been able to work every day. My appetite is good, I can eat three square meals a day, I do not feel that miserable burning in the stomach after eating, and my blood and nerves are in good shape." Dr. Pierce's Pellefs cure biliousness. DREAMS. LORD .BYRON. Our life is twofold : 81eep hath its own world, A boundary between the things mis named Death and existence. Sleep hath its own world, , And a wide realm of wild reality, And dreams in their development have breath, . And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; 0 They leave a weight upon our waking ' thoughts, They take a weight from off our , wak ing toils, They do divide our being; they become A portion of ourselves as of our time. And look like heralds of eternity; They pass like spirits of the past they speak . Like Sibyls of the future; they have power The tyranny of pleasure and of pain; They make us what we were not what they will, And shake us with the vision that's gone by, The dread of vanished shadows Are they so? Is not the past all shadow! What are - they? Creations of the mind. The mindjcan make Substance, and people planets of its own With beings brighter than have been, and give -A breath to forms which can outlive all fish, , I would recall a vision which I ' dreamed Perchance in sleep for in itself a thought, A slumbering thought, is capable of years, And curdles a long life into one hour.

THE BACON RESOLUTIONS. Calling for Information as to Allowances Made Army .Officers Stationed in Cuba and Porto Rico Unanthor ' 1 ized by Law Naval Bill. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, April 21. After a dis cussion lasting more than two hours, the Senate to day agreed .to the two resolutions offered yesterday by Sena tor Bacon, Georgia, calling upon the Secretary of War for information as to the allowances made to army officers stationed in Cuba and Porto Rico and the sums expended in providing quarters and equipages and other con veniences for them. The debate took a wide range many Senators partici pating in it. .. - , Consideration of the Quay case was resumed and Senator Perkins, Califor nia, presented an argument favorable to Mr. Quay's claim to a seat in the ISenate under the Governor's appoint ment. , When the two resolutions offered by Senator Bacon yesterday were laid be fore the Senate, the senior Sena tor from . South Dakota delivered a characteristic address in support of Jshe resolutions. He criticised vigor ously the statements made by the President and War Department in re sponse to his resolutions, maintaining that they were not complete, or satis factory. Mr. Hawley, chairman of the Mili tary Affairs Committee, resented the statements of the South Dakota Sen ator as "reckless and unwarranted," and asserted that all information re quired by the Senate would be fur nished in due time. ' ; Senator Carter, Montana, in an ex planation of the subject which he had investigated, said that additional sala ries had not been granted to army of ficers on service in Cuba or in Porto Rico. When the United States as sumed the functions of government in Cuba and in Porto Rico, army of ficers were assigned to perform civil as well as military duties. These of ficers, he said, were thrust into posi tions where their expenses were considerably increased. He instanced the case of an officer of his own ac quaintance who found it impossible to meet his additional necessary expenses out of his regular pay. He, therefore, asked to be relieved from duty in Cuba or be given an allowance for ex penses. He was given an allowance of $1800 a year because the Secretary of War and the President felt that the officer ought not virtually to be fined for the performance of duties to which he was assigned. - Senator Tillman suggested that it might be well to wait until the resolu tions were answered before entering upon a discussion of them.' "We on- the other side," said he,' "want to know something of this question and have not had the advant age of information from the War De partment." Senator Bacon, the author of the resolutions, discussed them at some length. He dissented strongly from the proposition that the President could collect and disburse according to his unrestrained judgment, the revenues of Cuba. He did not have that unlimited power. He maintained that the laws of the United States ex pressly forbade the giving to army J0fficgisany additional compensation above their regular pay. If allow ances were necessary by reason of their assignment to duty in Cuba, the mat ter ought to have been brought, in his opinion, to the attention of Congress. He believed it was a dangerous pre cedent for the executive branch of the government to fall into the habit of violating the law thus openly. "Can we not direct the President to withdraw the army from Cuba?" in quired Senator Tillman. "That is one thing we can do," re plied Senator Piatt of Connecticut . "Do not the acts of Congress con trol in uuba?" asked Senator Daniel, Virginia. , r ,.x."No," replied Senator Piatt sharply. "Do not the laws of the "United States as to the pay and emoluments of officers of the army apply in Cuba?" persisted Senator Daniel. "As to the pay and emoluments of army officer, yes." replied Senator Piatt, "but as to what shall be done in Cuba, no. Our occupation of Cuba is military and is under executive and not legislative authority.'' "Where does the President get this great authority?" again asked Senator Daniel. "From the constitution," replied Senator Piatt "As commander-in-chief of the army, the President has authority far beyond the power which may be conferred upon him by Con gress." Senator Daniel, replying to Senator Piatt, expressed surprise at the state ments made by the Connecticut Sena tor. It was the first time, he said, that he had ever heard the doctrine of ab solutism of the President of the United States asserted on the Senate floor. "Such a doctrine." said he. "should not go unchallenged here. The Pre sident of the United States is given certain specific powers under the con stitution. Beyond this, his executive duty is to see that the laws are faith fully executed." "Isn't this simply the blossoming of the imperialistic tree," suggested Sen ator Tillman. "It is not the blossoming of the tree," continued Senator DanieL "It is far beyond that It is the perfec tion and the rotting of the fruit It will fall from the tree of its own weight In falling I trust it will do something to remind the people of the country of the fearful precipice on the brink of which they are standing." Continuing, Senator Daniel declared that no person, be he bey or sultan, had power to over-ride definite and recognized authority and law, "If," he maintained, "in defiance of law, the President had authorized the pay ment of additional salaries to the army officers in Cuba, it was an exhibition of such absolutism as never had been known in this country, and the defence of the action by the Senator from Connecticut was extraordinary. " Senator Chandler agreed with Sena tor Piatt that the President could make allowance for the military officers in Cuba, but he did not believe that he could legally increase their salaries. He hoped that when the reply came it would show a satisfactory condition of affairs, and as for the decorations, he apprehended that only the public buildings had been touched and that these only had been cleaned, white washed and fumigated to make them habitable. . Possibly on the palace $75, 000 had been expended, and he hoped that Gen. Gomez would be elected as the first president of the island, and that he would enjoy his life in the palace as renovated by Gen. Brooke. Senator Tillman considered the dis cussion as premature and thought it had been, sprung by the Republican Senators as a sugar-coating to the pill of the acknowledgment of the Secre tary of War that he had been making additional payments to army officers WHICH yt ero uuwunauicu. Tillman acceDt the dictum that we must emulate Spain in our govern ment 01 tne island, ne waswiiju:ir that the place should have been fumi- nf t-rrannv. but if the officers were to receive double pay - - 1 1 v and be allowed to live in paiaces,.iney' never could be gotten out of the island. ad fnr fhA'ifnm nf whitewash he did hot take exception to it; but he appro bended that the Kepuoucan pariy would need a considerable qttantity of that article before they succeeded in Via iwitiIa that the nro ceeding in question was regular nd proper. - The resolutions were then agreed to without division. The Quay resolution was taken up. discussed until 4 o'clock when the Senate adjourned. " ,; House of Representatives. P The animated controversy over the Naval Appropriation bill which began yesterday was not resumed to day and after brief consideration this impor tant bill was passed. Mr. Underwood, Alabama, whose filibuster had brought affairs to a tem porary standstill, explained that there was no purpose to delay, but merely to insist that time be given for con sideration and a vote be taken on the government armor factory- proposi tion. Mr. Vandiver submitted this .proposition in a motion to recommit the bill with instructions to tne naval Committee to frame a provision for a government factory. The instructions were ruled out and subsequently the motion to recommit was disagreed to without division. The bill was there upon passed witnout jt record vote. As finally adopted the measure pro vides for two battleships, three arm ored cruisers and three protected cruisers. The $545 figure on armor is stricken out After 1 P.

Change in Title of the Silver Republican Party to Be Made at the Conven tion in Kansas City. " By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Minneapolis, April 21. Formal an -nouncement of the proposed change in the title of the Silver Republican party was made to day in a document setting forth the. party platform, issued by Executive Agent Corser. The an nouncement states: " "Lincoln Republicans" are' to suc ceed '-'Free Silver Republicans, "and the National Silver Republican party is to give way to the Lincoln Republican party. The party of one issue is to become the party of several issues, and the issue to which it owes its origin is to be pushed into the background. While changing its name it becomes more democratic than ever, and, its leaders hope, more able to render effective service to "the regenerated Democracy" than in 1896. ;. The transformation scene is to take place at Kansas City, Jnly 4th, when the national conventions of both the Fee Silver Republicans and the Demo cratic parties are in session. It is alleged in the statement that the Republicans of to-day are different in all but name from the Republicans of Lincoln's time. E. S. Corser, who issued the mani festo, has acted in the capacity of official intermediary between the national organizations of the various anti-Republican parties and believes that the result of preliminary work accomplished by the Lincoln Republi can League will lead to the adoption at Kansas City by the silver Republi cans of a platform, the planks of which have already been formulated, glorifying Lincoln's memory, inci dentally excoriating President Mc Kinley and his administration and predicting the nomination of Bryan and Towne by the Democratic Con vention. Lincoln Republican League workers have been especially active in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota, the latter State being the centre of the movement CAPE NOME COUNTRY. Miners Flocking to a New Strike Across the Divide. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Seattle, Wash., April 21. The steamer Cottage City has arrived from Skagway. She brings five men who left Cape Nome on January 24th, ten days after the latest previous informa tion. They bring a story of a new strike across the divide 100 miles east of Nome. The strike was made on a small creek. The first several pans ran about $25 to $35. As the bed rock was scraped, the amount reached $40, and great excitement followed. A stampede has taken place from Nome, but only a few took part in it, the rest believing they have as good property as they wanted. Mr. Morgan said: "Cape Nome and the contiguous country is richer than people have estimated. It wiU be, this Summer, the greatest mining camp the world has ever seen." WENT THROUGH A TRESTLE. Freight Train on the Southern Wrecked , Near Spartanburg, S. C. . By Telegraph to the Morning Star, Greenville, April 21. The rain fall in this section of the South the past two days has been terrific and almost continuous. All streams are higher than for years and many of them are still rising. Part of a freight train, bound north, on the Southern railway, went through the trestle over Thicketty creek, be tween Spartanburg and Gaffneys, to day. The engine and tender passed over safely, but five cars loaded fell with the trestle. Nobody was killed. It is supposed the heavy rains weak ened the structure. All trains are delayed,being run around by Charlotte, Columbia and Spartanburg, throwing them two hours and a half behind time. j CONSOLIDATION RATIFIED. Meeting of Atlantic Coast Line Stock holders in Charleston, S. C. By Telegf aphlto the Morning Star. Charleston, S. OL, April 21. At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Atlantic Coast Line held here to day the plan of consolidating the lines of the company was ratified. W. G. Elliott was elected president; Harry Walters, first vice president; Alexan der Hamilton, second vice president; C. 8. Gadsden, third vice president The action taken to day was identical with that taken at Richmond and Wil mington Within the last few days. The system will own and control 2,600 miles of railroad. The Bigbee river is higher than ever known and still rising. The northern part of Demopolis, Ala., is under water and two manufacturing concerns are submerged. The Southern Railway has five miles of track under water and the town is cut off from rail com munication.' Hardly any farming can be done before the middle of May. AN ENGAGEMENT AT DEWET'S DORP. British and ' Boer Forces Are Again in Striking Distance of Each Other, FIGHTING AT LONG ! RANGE. - ': - t"' British Accounts Meagre and Unsatis factory The Boers Still Surround Wepener Geo. Methuen At tacked Other News. By Cable to the Morning Star. London, April 22 Dispatches ar riving from the seat of war, though meagre and unsatisfactory, clearly in dicate renewed activity at all points where the British and Boer forces are in striking distance of each other. In terest for the moment centres at De wet's Dorp and Wepener where fight ing is evidently in progress. . A dispatch received from Aliwal North, dated April 21st, says that there was heavy firing on the previous day between Dewet's Dorp and Wepener and around Wepener on Saturday, but that no particulars have been received. A special dispatch from Maseru, dated baturday, says: "The investment of Wepener con tinues. The Boers seem determined to do their utmost to capture the gar rison before relief arrives. Severe fighting appears imminent" The activity of the Boers at Eland slaagte apparently has failed to draw General Buller, if that was its object, into doing more than repel the attack made on his advance posts. ! A dispatch from WarrentOD, dated Saturday, says: 1 "There has been intermittent and ineffective sniping by the Boers, who also fired a few shells, both during the day and the night, at the station, the past two days. - Firing at Long Range. Bloemfontein, April 20. Contin uing their march on Friday, Generals Chtrmside and Rundle came into con tact with the Boers near Dewets Dorp at noon. The fighting continued until dark and was principally carried on by the artillery, which temporarily si lenced two of the Boer guns. The British command the hills for miles around the Boers, who are re ported to hold stroDg positions, but are probably retiring. The casualties on the British side were slight and most of them occurred among the yeomanry and mounted infantry. The firing was at lbng range. None of the British troops were killed. Methnen's Force Attacked. Boshof, O. F. S., April 21. At mid day yesterday General Methuen's field force at Swartzkopjes fontein was or dered to return to Boshof. Its convoy extended over six miles. The escort took up a position on a hill command ing the road just in the nick of time, as a force of 2,000 Boers with two guns and a pom-pom suddenly appeared in the vicinity and opened a very heavy fire. The British, however, held them in check until the column reached a point of safety, when they retired. The British had several casualties. The Boers fought determinedly and must have suffered considerably, as they once advanced to within three hundred yards of the hill, whence a concealed detachment of the British opened a heavy fusilade on them. Still Surround Brabant. . Pretoria, Friday, April 20 Presi dent Krueer has received throuch President Steyn an official reports sent by General Dewet under date of April 20th to the effect that the latter still surrounds General Brabant's colonials at Wepener and that he has! cantured eleven prisoners, including the chief artillery officer. The report adds that the British coming from Aliwal North are destroying farm houses on the way. The Irish brigade paraded this morning in front of President Kruger's nouser. Tne president made a speech to them and the force was afterwards photographed. ; Fighting at Dewets Dorp. Bloemfontein, April 21. Run die's force came in contact with the enemy yesterday four miles southwest of Dewets Dorp. They occupied strong positions covering the town. The yeomanry and mounted infantry. seized another position which enabled Rundle to drive the enemy off and pecupy the high ground the enemy had been holding. Rundle advanced this morning, early, and is now again engaging with the enemy. Our casual ties yesterday were two men severel y wounaea ana lieutenant uuonnor and seven men slightly wounded. The Situation Reviewed. London, April 21. Spencer Wilkin son, reviewing the situation jn South Africa for the Associated Press, says at midnight: "The Boers admirably understand how to adapt their tactics and strategy to the country. Their art consists in eomnfillinc thn Ttintfsh in nf.. tack and make exhausting' marches . ... . . . ... across a country lu-proviaea witn roads. Thus the first step is to surround in superior force an isolated party of British. This compels the British, if they try to escape, to attack under WHY I DR. HATHAWAY CURES.

IU10B ( i 4 It appears that within two years the price of coal in Europe r has nearly doubled, to tne serious menace of many industrial interests. Yet although coal is an important material both in the construction and in the operation of steamships, the subsidy mongers are pleading for an enormous bounty of $9,000, 000 for ships in a country where coal is cheaper and more abundant than anywhere in the world. If the wages of American seaman be high er than the wages of foreigners the cheapness of American coal will more than make up for the diff er- ence. Jrnilaaelphia Jiecora, uem.
