The final vote was taken at the close of a day which was marked by’ a debate which, while at times animated, was never acrimonious. The principal speeches were made by Mr. Spodher for the nlll and Mr. Bailey against It. In bis re marks, Mr. Bailey referred to the recent agreement of the democratic caucus to stand solidly on party questions and warned the republicans that in the future they could not depend on straggling dem ocratic votes tn support of republican party measures regardless of whether they were or were not In accord with democratic doctrine.

"BuL" he adued turning towards tho repo .'lican side o: the chamber, "you will hereafter get ao senators from the while house flora this side of the cham ber, you'll have > take care of your st Ives in the futu-c.” This statement was accepted as a di rect reference to the decision of tho democratic caucus to stand as a unit on all measures agi ed upon by a two thirds vote of the caucus and aroused quick interest. "In some way or anotlier, the repub lican senators li -e been able to unite on measures witi, mt a party resolution, and when a man bolted, be was shot on the spot. Tl, y have carried party discipline to the ; »int of abject submis sion; we have pin tied our course to tiie point of insubordination. Now, I say that in the futur- wnen your measures are right, you will have the solid demo cratic vote; if .mu are not right, we will oppoffe you.” Addressing the epublican side of the chamber and leaning far over the aisle towards the republican senators, most of whom were in their seats and giving him their closest attention, Mr. Bailey sa id: "1 don’t wonder that you look wor ried. You will get no help from us. Yon have been getting it. and always have been able to find some one over here who was willing to make mi honorable exe< Tition, to us the language of the senator from Wisconsin, and vote for anything you might ask them to vote for. But you wlil get no more of our votes.” He concluded this feature of his ad dr- ss by asking t,> be pardoned for pub licly rejoicing ovr-r a prospect of party unity, and explained that his present at titude must be explained !”■ hl.- great disappointment over the lack of unitv In the recent past. He believed that with, a return to tho conditions before the war. the party would return to its suc cesses of that time. FIGHTING TNT SAN DOMINGO.

WOMAN’S RESPONSE TO NATURE. No tnan will deny that woman’s wind is more imarinative and more appreciative of the beau, ties of nature than man’s. Most women love the flowers, the woods, the trees, and every thing that is beautiful in nature, "A perfect woman nobly planned. To warn, to comfort and command. Nature never intended that women should sttf fer from physical disabilities at certain periods, and too often women feel that the great distress they suffer at these periods is only natural. The fact is the women who live in the op’-n air and do physical labor are little troubled by fr.e pains and ills that our delicate, house-oom women suffer. At any rate, nature provides ,i cure for these ills of womenkind in the wav - r a vegetable compound, made only of roots and herbs, without the use of a particle of alcohol or any narcotic. Hr.
