IN CONGRESS.
Bismarck and American Germans*
I
I ■
House—Mr. Deuster, of Wisconsin,
rising to a question of privilege,sent
to tbe clerk’s desk and had read a
I resolution adopted by the executive
committee of the liberal union of
the German parliament, expressing
appreciation of tbe action of the
house of representative s in adopting a
i resolution In honor of E iward Lask
er. The speaker stated that the
, question was not one of privilege, but
by unanimous consent Mr. Beuster
was permitted to continue. He said
that the executive committee of the
liberal union expressed the senti
ments of tbe people of Germany.
The spectacle here presented was pe
culiar, as seen through American
eyes. Prince Bismarck, the autocrat
of the German Empire, was the em
bodiment of an idea antagonistic to
American institutions. The fact that
he had returned the Lasker resolu
tion might stand to the prejudice of
Ibe German people, but tbe resolu
tion of the liberal union contra
dicted that assumption. From
the American standpoint death
broke down all political feel
ing, and in the presence of the open
grave the universal brotherhood of
man was the inspiration of tbe hour.
The same was true of Germany as a
people,and if they were misrepresent
ed by the man in a place of power,
they had no other method ot setting
themselves right before the world
than by resolutions of the liberal
union. In presenting this resoluion
in his official place as a member of
this body, as a native of Germany
and an adopted citizen of the Ucited
Blates, he desired to express bis earn
est conviction that the action of tbe
liberal union was the true index ot the
feeling of united Germany, and that
the action < f Bismarck would not rise
above tbe dignity of a ma'ter of per
sonai vexation, in no way affecting
the kindly relations now existing be
tween tbe two nations. It might be
premature now to criticise tneaction
of Bismarck, but when tbe official in
formation thereof was in possession
of tbe bouse, he would endeavor to
show that the Lasker resolutions
were entirely kind and proper.
Mr. Guenther, of Wi-o msin, denied
bat the people of Germany were
hostile to this country and its lost!
lutions, or that tbe letter of Bis
maick returning the Lasker resolu
tions lefleoted the sentim-nt of that ,
people. They did not approve of his ,
discourtesy; neither did they indorse .
his autocratic action in prohibiting
tbe importation of American
product?. t
Mr. Kisaon, of lowa, regretted that (
the incident referred to had be< n s
made io any degree a subject cf (
debate. In bis opinion the house ,
would better consult its dignity by (
waiting until some official oommuni
canon re-iched it that improper oom
moot had been made upon its action. ,
As yet it knew nothing except from
reports in the newspapers in regard
to action abroad upon the resolution
adopted by the bouse. When it waa
informed that its interest or Its hon
or had been affected, there would be
no doubt perre t accord between the
two sides of the h< ase as to the prop
er action to be taken. He moved to
refer the resolutions presented by
M . Deuster to the committee on for
eign affairs. 8 > ordered.

CHAMPION—ETC.
NpeoTol I* Tlu Cwtitutim,
Washington, Feb. 28.—T0-day
Messrs. Candler and Clements went,
with a large delegation of southern
members, before the ways and means
committee to ask the repeal or a
modification of the internal revenue
system. Mr. Candler spoke specially I
in support of bis bill changing the
mode of collecting the revenue, and
ri quiring the returns to be made un
der oath instead of the tax being col
lected by a deputy. He detailed the
hardships imposed on the people by
the present system, illustrating by
several incidents in hie own district.
Senator Brown addressed the com
mittee at length. He said the entire
internal revenue system should be
abolished, but if a complete repeal
could not be bad, the people wanted
it stopped off wherever it is possible.
He advocated his bill allowing the
free distillation of all orchard pro
ducts.
Mr. Hiscock asked: “If you abol
ish the Internal revenue how would
you support the government?”
Mr. Brown replied : “Would have
plenty of money from the tariff by
making such reduoti ms In our ex
penses as we ought to make.”
Mr. Hiscock: "How much would
you cut off?”
Mr. Brown; “Fifty million.”
Mr. Hiscock: “You could not re
duce that much.”
Mr. Brown: “I would get rid of the
five millions at once which it now
costs us to collect the internal reve
nue. Then I would reduce all along
the line. You say we can’t reduce so
much now, but it we had a reform
president and a congress to back him,
we could.”
Mr. Hiscock: “You can’t save fifty
millions.”
Mr. Brown : “It a certain event oc
curs in tbe next few months, which I
think cught to occur, we will show
you.”
Tbe proceedings before the com
mittee to-day indicate a very strong
s uthern support ot the best bill that
can be passed, reducing the internal
revenue.
LONGSTREET CONCLUDES.
General-Longstreet concluded his
testimony to-day before the Springer
committee. Jack Brown, his coun
sel, stated that Ballin had told him
that there was nothing In the charges
against L mgstreet affecting bls char
acter.
Mr. B iliin —"That is false.”
Jack Brown exclaimed- “Be care*
ful, sir.”
Chairman Hempbill restored order,
and General L mgstreet stated that
he had been accused by Mr. Speer
He said. “I want to prove which of
us is honest.” He offered several
letters attacking Speer, but as they
were not from officials the commit
tee declined to admit them. Long

had been unjustly cur, down SIO,OOO.
and according to the government’s
own showing $1,200 was due him yet.
THB 6UFFEBEBB MUST SUFFER.
It is now settled that the bill ap

WEALTH IS YOURS, YOUNG
MAN.
SOME GOOD ADVICE nN THE ONLY TRUE
BOAD T > WEALTH AND
HAPPINESS.
A young man was recently heard
to remark, “if I only bad a thousand
dollars, I’d make if live thousand in
side of a year.” He then went on to
draw a comparison between himself
and another young man about bis
own age who had become, through
the death of his fattier, in possession
of a large fortune. The comparis on,
to be sure,was rather uncompliment
ary to the fortunate young man’s
abilities, yet it demonstrated two
things, viz:
The lack of a contented spirit, the
sweetness of existence; and the con
ceit of one who lacks energy and vim
to roll up his sleeves and do the very
best be can with the means provided
him by providence. Young man, did
you ever stop to consider the value
of a dime ? You know how much
easier it is to part with a dollar given
you than with a quarter you have
worked hard to get. There is no
real reason for a young man to
complain of his lot in this world. Ev
ery wrong.every drawback, so-called,
is in nine cases out often imaginary,
and when nor, is the result of care
lessness or lack ot judgment in tak
ing advantage of circumstances.
It would be well for every young
man to understand first that he has
got to work for all be ge s iu this
world. Without work he cannot suc
ceed while wit h it he stands an equal
chance with the best to gain wealth
and influence, whicn combined with
health is ail that man ran wish for
io this world. It is not wrong to
wi-b for riches, but you can rest as
sured that you will never realize that
wish uuless you work hard and prac
tice economy You will never real
ize it on a salary of ten dollars a
week while your expenses are fifteen
or twenty. You must learn to keep
what you have and the only way to
keep money is to tarnit fairly and
honestly. Money thus obtained is
pretty certain to remain with its
possessor. But money inherited,
or that in any way comes in
without a fair and just equivalent, is
almost certain to go as it came.
Thore are, however, exceptions to
tbe latter rule, but it holds good in
a general application.
Toe young mar; who begins by
saving a few dimes a mouth and
thriftily increases his store, every
cent a representative of honest work
performed, stands a tar h -tier chance
to spend bis old age in affluence than
he who, in haste to b >com ■ rich, ob
tains money by da blog speculation
or the devious means which abound
iu foggy regions which lie b tween
fair dealing and fraud. Every young
man on a salary can save something.
It may not be much, but every little
helps. It is like‘the tailing of the
snow flakes. Each fl-ke is smad
in and ot itself and as
they fall have no weight,
but as a whole after an hours storm
‘hey become weiizhty and powerful.
It is not the one flake, but the com
bination of and the unity of many
that accomplishes the result. So it
is in saving. It is nor the single
dimeor dodar that m-ikes the wealth,
but the continual aiding of them in
to a grand unit that makes the for
tune.
Young man don’t waste your time
in wishing for wealth, but do the
best you can to accumulate it. Then
will you enj »y i f . The very thing for
you to do is to do the very best you
know how. It is a bard rule to fol
low, may be, but it is a safe one in all
things. Follow it and you will not
only enjoy life as you go through the
world, but your desire will be realized
and the world and especially your
self will be the better for it,—Peck’s
Bun.

MISSISSIPPI’S CAPITAL.
A COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THE REMOVAL
or IT FROM JACKSON IO MERIDIAN,
Jackson, Feb. 25.—The special com
mittee ot tae lower house of the
Mississippi legielatute to whom was
referred the bill proposing to remove
the state capital from Jackson to
Meridian have reported favorably,
and it is reported that a m jt: icy of
both bouses favor the change. A
large delegation or wealthy and in
fluential citiz-ms of Meridian have
been in Jackson for several days past
urging the measure. The citizms ot
Meridian agreed in the event of the
passage of the bill to construct a new
suitable state-house free of charge to
the state.
The citizens of Jackson are very
much exercised at tne prospect ot
losing the capital, and to-day held a
large meeting in opposition to the
bill. When the change was first pro
posed the citiz ms of Jackson were
disposed to treat it as a huge joke,
but now realize that the Meridians
are in dead earnest.
The present State-house is very
much out of repair, and a very large
appropriation is being ask-d of the
present legislature to remedy this.
It is safe to pre Hot, however, that
the bill will not become a law, for the
reas m or constitutional provisions.
The land uoon which ths s.ate build
ings now stand was donated by the
federal government, witht.be proviso
that Jackson should continue the
permanent capital of the State, and
this proviso is embraced In the con
stitution of the state.
The secret of the universal success of
Brown’s Iron Bitters is owing to the fact
that it is the very beet iron preparation
made. By a thorough and rapid assimi
lation with the blood It reaches every
part of the body, giving health, strength
and endurance to every portion. Thus
beginning at the foundation it builds up
and restores lost health. It does not con
tain whisky or alcohol. It will not black
en the teeth. It does not constipate or
cause headache. It will cure dyspepsia,
Indigestion, heartburn, sleeplessness, diz

Some years ago I conceived the
idea ot planting my .potatoes with
snoots to them; probably the sprouts
suggested the ilea; at any rate I car
led out the plan, and have been so
well pleased with it that I have fol
lowed it tor three years. A few
weeks before planting time I select
my seed potatoes and set them in a
warm place to sprout. By the time
my ground is ready tbe shoots are
bout tnree inches io length. Tne
potatoes are bandied carefully so as
not to break tbe growth, and cut up
in sun able sizes, as in the ordinary
way. One strong shoot is let to each
piece. Tne sets must be put into the
ground caretully, of course, or the
shoots will be broken off As growth
commences at once, the green tops
show in a few days. There is easily
a saving ot two weeks’ time at tbe
start. Those who have rather low

Yesterday, Ash Wednesday, was

and services in accordance with the
ancient rite took place at the Catho
lic church, Rev. M. J. Cliff >rd, at

which were imposed on tbe heads of
the faithful, accompanied by the
words ot Holy writ; “Memento homo
quid es pulvls et in pulverem rever
terts.”
The following are the regulations
for Lent in this diocese:
1. All the faithful who have com
pleted their twenty-first year are,
unless legitimately dispensed, bound
to observe the fast of Lent.
2. They are to make only one meal
a day. excepting Bundays.
3. The meat allowed on fast days is
not to betaken till about noon.
4. Fresh meat and fish are not to be
used at the same meal during Lent.

11. The faithful are reminded that
besides the obligation of fasting im
posed by the church, this holy sea
son of Lent should be, in an especial
manner, a time of earnest prayer, of
sorrow for sin, of seclusion from the
world and its amusements, and of
generous almsgiving.
12 The Paschal time extends from
the first Sunday in Lent till Trinity
Sunday, during which time all Catho
lics who have attained a fitting age
are bound to prepare themselves to
receive worthily tne Holy commun
ion. The holy season of Lent is a very
proper time, also, for children to go
to their first confession, which they
ought to do generally when about
seven years ot age. Parents should
see to this.

Express Gazette.
H. B. Plant, ot the Southern Ex
press Company, is held by the busi
ness public throughout the south
eastern country in high esteem. That
bis far-seeing and even brilliant, poli
cy has accomplished wonders forthat
section is evident. This is especially
true in the case of Florida. No eulo
gies can be too praiseworthy. He
looked far into the future and proved
to be the man of the hour. As the
president, also, of the great Savan
nah, Florida & Western railroad—by
the way, a road of magnificent equip
ment—and the Florida Improvement
Company, he has been largely instru
mental in the upbuilding ana devel
opment of this remarkable country.
While speaking ot Mr. Plant it is
not amiss to say that the esteem and
even veneration in which he is held
by the employer of the Southern Ex
press Company are impressive.
Everywhere we went we beard the
most profound regard expressed by
the men for their chief. As several
remark’d: “We look upon him as a
father. Everything he says is all
right. We feel like children of a big
common family of which he is the
beau.”
Here is a mao whose whole .course
in life has been distinguished by
wonderful business ability and sagac
ity—a man who stands high wherever
he is known—who is respected by
everybody. He is a man of success,
not by fate, but by the mere force of
his superior abilities. Why not
nominate him for toe presidency of
the United States? He is already
president of tour gigantic corpora
tions, all of which owe their stability
to his business genius. Why not
make him president ot the great na
tional coiporation? The presence of
a man like Mr. Plant in the executive
chair of the nation would command
tbe cotifl fence of the whole business
world regardless ot party feeling,and
that is what is needed to insure the
absolute prosperity of the country.
We have had about enough of law
yers in high official position, Let us
try a practical, common sense busi
ness man.

Opposite Opinions about a Wonderful

‘•Crack nuts with her fingers? Why, you can't
mean it!" cried a young lady graduate ot the
Normal College, in the utmost astonibhment.
“But I do mean it,” affirmed her big brother,
who had taken several prises in athletics, “and
I reassert it; that Cymburha, wife of Duke
Erueet, of Austria, couid crack nuts with her
fiugere and drive uaiia into the wan wl’h her

Mrs. Alice Strong, of Pittsburg, Pa., writes a
different story about herself, but i‘eserves
praise lor her franhiu bb. She says: ‘‘For the
past three yea s 1 have been subject to severe
attacks oi colic ana cramps, and exhausting at
tacks of Diarrtjaa. Weary of experimenting
with medio nes, 1 turned, without hope, to
PARKEB’B TONIU. Three bottles cured me
entirely. 1 have tried it also for other ai l meats
with which women are often afflicted, and it
far eurpassed my expectations lam nappy to
offer this testimony tor the benefit of other
women.”

letter, will please remark that PABKEB’S TUN

by virtue <i many rare and powerful iiigredl
