OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 4, 11,01.
How thoroughly Senator Han
na dominates the republican steer
ing committee oi the senate is
shown by the threats of a cloture
rule for the senate, if there is any
attempt to filibuster against the
ship subsidy or the army reorg: n
iz tion bill, that have come from
that committee since congress re
convened. Whether those threats
can be made effective will depend
laigely upon the backbone exhib
ited by republican senators who
in- opposed to both bills. It is
expected that before the army bill
is voted upon a democratic sub.-ti
tu!e providing for a continuance of
the present strength of the army
•or two years from the first of next
July will be offered.
The reapportionment bill is be
in.; made the basis of a warm con
test in the house, in which political
lii es are not drawn, but most of the
democrats are supporting the sub
stitute for the committee bill, which
sli .htly increases the representa
tion of a few states and reduces
th.it of none.
General expression of suspicion
of the motive in delaying action
on the Nicaragua canal bill has
brought out a statement from prom
inent republican senators that ac
tiuii will not be taken for at least a
month, because of the desire to
show England the courtesy of al
lowing it that much time to act
upon the amended Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. According to the *ame au
thority, the bill will be called up
early in February and passed.
That, however, doesn’t seem to be
the opinion of the president of the
Panama Canal Cos., who is in
Washington, as he has publicly
said that he considers his company
sti 1 has a chance to sell out to the
United States, which he pretends
that it isn’t at all anxious to do, as
it can sell to England, France and
Germany at any time. Whether
tins impudent Frenchman is bluff
ing or really has a hold on any
considerable number of senators
sufficiently strong to hold up the
Nicaragua Canal bill will shortly
become apparent.
Not even a resolution of the
senate can get at that interesting
document generally spoken of as
the Lawshe report, being a detailed
statement of the crookedness found
in the handling of Cuban moneys
by an expert accountant. Instead
of mswering the senate resolution
ca ling for this report, Secretary
Ro >t went to Mr. McKinley for
a~s stance in burying the report so
dee-p that the senate cannot dig it
up for its contents to create a sen
sation. In order to render this as
sis'.ance Mr. McKinley will take
advantage of his authority to de
cline to make public any document
which in his discretion would be
be t kept secret. There is no way
that the senate could force the
president to make public this docu
ment even were a majority dis
posed to try. But the fact that so
much trouble has been taken to
suppress this report and that Mr.
A. L. Lawshe, the man who made
it, has been given a big place in
the Philippines, apparently -to get
hi .1 out of the way, shows that ti e
revelations made by the report
must be many times worse than

te:;se itching and burning
of the skin. The eruption
soon disappears, the suf- \/w
fercr hopes forever; but
almost as soon as the little hlisters and
pustules appeared the poison had reached
the blood, and will break out at regular
intervals and each time in a more aggra
vated form. This poison will loiter in the
system for years, and every atom of it
must be forced out of the blood before you
can expect a perfect, permanent cure.

posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your conditi n

salves,washes and soaps—they never cure,
Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta
(Ga.) Gas tight Cos., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle < f S. S. S , and
a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People re often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they will

There is an old-ti ne row among
Ohio republicans. Senator Foraker
has accused several members of
his party of fixing up a conspiracy
to put Representative Dick in Por
aker’s seat at the close of his term,
by a deal with the anti-saloon ele
ment and the use of the Ohio re
publican committee, <>f woich Dick
is chairman. Foraker is said to
have given Dick a personal raking
over that he will never forget and
to have succeeded in getting Han
na to break with Dick, who has
been his confidential man ever
fine, he started out to be a polit
ical boss. W’hetjier Dick, deprived
of Hanna’s support, will be strong
enough to put up anything like a
winning fignt against Foraker, is
doubtful, rumpus isn’t go
ing to increase brotherly love
among Ohio republicans.
Gen. Miles has a few facts in his
possession about embalmed beef
that have never been made public,
but which may be included in the
answer that he will make in his
own time to ex-Secretary Alger’s
new attack on him. Speaking of
the matter, Gen. Miles said: “Mr.
Alger, by publishing a book and
by the use of the public press in
dealing with facts connected with
the Spanish war, has laid himself
open to reply by any army officer
who is in any way affected by the
statements made. While I have
not yet fully decided on the course
I shall pursue in the matter, it is
yery likely I shall at some future
time put on record a few- facts
which it will be impossible to
whistle down.” The administra
tion has such a dread of what Gen.
Miles may say that veiled threats
of removing him from the com
mand of the army if he replies to
Alger have been made, Mr. Mc-
Kinley, as all the world knows,
would welcome an excuse to hu
miliate Gen. Miles, and since the
senate military committee adopted
the ideas of Gen. Miles on army re
organization, in place of what was
known as the Root plan —prepared
by Gen. Corbin —Secretary Root
would gladly help For that rea
son some of Gen. Mile’s friends are
trying to get him to wait until af
ter his retirement to have his final
say.
Dr. Calvin J. Pollock, of Kirks

attorneys, C. A. Snow & Cos., of
Washington, D. C„ accomplished

PINGREE HITS HARD-
Michigan Retiring Governor Sends !
a Red Hot Message.
Lansing, Jan. 3. —The Michigan !
legislature assembled in joint sess-1
ion today to hear the message of j
Governor Pingree and the inaug- j
ural message of Governor Bliss.
Governor Pingree made extem
poraneous remarks in which he at
tacked the courts, legislature and
the press.
He also urged the legislature to
appropriate sufficient money to
pay the expenses of the governor. !
saying it cost him $40,000 during
his four years.
Governor Pingree said in con
clusion:
“My experience during my po
litical life, extending over a period
of twelve years, has convinced me
that ui order to secure the full
commendation of those who con
sider themselves the “better class
es’ the governor and other high of
ficials must do nothing to antago
nize the great corporations and
wealthy people. I am satisfied I
could have had the praise and sup
port of our ‘best citizens’ and our
‘best society’ and of the press of
the state generally if I had upheld
those who have for years attempted
to control legislation in their own
interests to the end that they might
be relieved from sharing equally
with the poor and lowly the bur
den of taxation. I would have
been pronounced a good fellow and
a great statesman. I make the
prediction that unless those in
charge and in whose hands legisla
tion is reposed do not change the
present system of inequality,, in
less than a quarter of a century
there will be a bUody revolution
in this great country of ours.”

•‘Remove not the ancient landmark ;
which thy lather** have set.”
Behold how great a thing a lit- ;
tie fire kindleth, or words some
what on that order can scarcely ex
press the sentiments of my heart.
May be I had better transpose and
say’ thusly, “Behold how great a
thing or elephant or giraffe or hob
gobliu a little fire kindler’ can be.”
Let me explain, and as a future
warning to some mothers I know,
give my experience.
About three weeks sinde in guile
less innocence, I read alud one
evening around the sitting room
fire, an advertisement of a wonder
ful “fire kindler.” It seemed : o
useful and such a litfle thing that
I consented after urgent appeals
from the “innocents” to write on
or get father to do so, and order a
dozen or so to let them retail and
get Christmas money independent
of their weekly wage for perform
ing household duties.
All went well, and each talked
and sold over and over again until
all became bloated bond holders
before the arrival of the innocent
little “kindler.” I was to be weigh
ed down with presents and father
was to have every desire of his
heart. The auspicious day arrived,
so did the box of “kindlers”—a
hundred strong. They were set j
up on high in the back entry and
negotiations and preparations be
gun. I had given little thought
to the undertaking, but as I stood
and viewed the prospect o’er, saw
their intense excitement and weav
ings in and out; suppressed whis
pers and plans. A melancholy,
mournful, pathetic feeling came
over me, and I felt as if a hundred
thousand pounds had been laid
softly but suddenly on my heart
and shoulders. My spirits wilted,
and I longed to send the little pink
billets back to “yankeetown,” but
no, “Sampson, the Philistines are
upon thee;” and Sampson-like I
felt my helplessness; so I turned
sadly away and walked off to com
pose myself. Soon after me came
the older ones begging to start
right off and sell all in a few hours
time. “Why no, children,” I said,
“you must read the directions, get
them bv heart, and of the
advant iges in having something
always ready, and' with so little la
bor, to kindle fires these mornings.”
So each quickly rushed for the di
rections, and began to memorize.
I “This novel and wonderful inven
tion will last a million years,” said
lone. “Good gracious, no,” said the
[others. “You have it wrong side
[before; they will last many years,
j and over a million have been sold.”
,“0h yes, I made a mistake. Now,
j three cents worth of oil will make
I three fires,’’ he continued. “Non-
!sense,” said the others in a flasn,
j ‘ three cents worth of oil will make
I fires a week. So you stay at home
or learn to talk better. You’ll ruin
the whole business.” “Well, I
know this,” said the incorrigile,
“it says, if you get one and use it
constantly you’ll never get an
other.” “Just listen! I knew, said
the eldest, “you nevei could get it
right; it says, “if you use one for
awhile you’ll never get without it.
Mother, please keep this kid at
home, and let only two of us go.”
Thusly and thusly it went on, un
til I went out and took a little fresh
air on the verandah. I wanted to
laugh, but felt provoked at the
same time.
Next morning nothing short of
of a circus or balloon ascension
could have caused the commotion
our well regulated family was in.
Everything in shape of duty hur
ried over and by eight o’clock hats
and cloaks were donned and each
with half dozen “firebrands,” as
the “incorrigible” persisted in call
ing them under their arms, sallied
forth. They flew about as thistle
down at first, but gtadually learn
ed the lesson I was willing they
should. Things are not always
what they seem to be. As they
would rush home and tel!'of their
success or failure, I c mldt see its
effect on them. At last the long
day came to a close and,*to my
surprise, they had realized enough
to buy every nickel or dime pres
ent their little heads could con
ceive. And after tea, when they
came to say good-niglit and, as the
boy put his arm around my neck
and kissed me he whispered in my
ear, “Mcther if a poor little boy or
girl ever comes here to sell pencils,
or cornsalve or needle books or
sassafras root, please, sweet mother,
buy all he has. will you:” “Yes
my son, I will,” I said.
And I knew he had learned a
lesion far beyond the worth of the
little “fire kindler,”and I was con
tent.

Nerves Wea t Out
And grow weak and exhausted when not properly nour
ished, just as an engine loses its power when the fuel runs low.
The loss of nervous power is seen in the failing health and the
wasting form. It is lelt in the aching head, the throbbing heart,
the irritability, indigestion, restlessness and loss of sleep. Re
build the worn-out nerves, rest the tired brain and add new fuel
to the vital fires with the best of all tonics, Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
“I never had anything do me bo much good as Dr Miles’
' Nervine. I had been suffering from blind piles for some time
and had lost so much biood that my nerves were in a very bad
condition. I bought a bottle of the Nervine on trial and it
did me so much good that I have since taken two more. The
result is my health has been wonderfully improved and I am
very thankful that I gave it a trial.”
J. B. Henslee, Ringgold, Ga.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
is food for the worn-out nerves and the weary brain. It
is a food for the over-taxed and weak digestion. It
nourishes, fortifies and refreshes the whole system.
