Ml!. CLEVELAND'S COURSE. The Review of Reviews, its Propress of the World, has tljis to say on the constitutional aspect of President Cleveland's course in the 11 a waiiun matter:

The .Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has been carefully investigating the whole course of our reeen diplomatic relations with the Islands, and its report will be a matter of utiusunl interest. The Senate's prerogatives have been so contemptuously ignored by the Administration that it would be strange if that body should fail to assert itself to the extent of condemning much that has been done. There are marked indications of a growing breach between the White Mouse and a large contingent of the Democrats in both Mouses of Congress and the President can hardly expect that his practical assumption of the war power without consulting Congress. and in the face of no emergency or provocation of any kind, can be passed over without some very disagreeable debating in both houses. Mr. Cleveland still persists in declaring that it was the duty of the United States to restore. Liliuokalani. But why, then, has he never pursued the one obvious, lawful course that was open to him? Me should have sent an explicit message to Congress, declaring his opinion and asking for authority to proceed with the restoration. The favorable vote of Congress would have set the war power in motion, and the President, with the aid of the ships in Honolulu harbor, would have set up the monarchy without delay and without striking "a blow. Why has he failed to pursue that one lawful course? There has come no answer. Congress owes it to the future of the constitutional government in this country to seek some kind of an answer to that question,—a question far more important for the American people than the future of Hawaii.

'L'hk McCreary resolutions are an invitation to the House of Representatives to share the ignominy which the President has brought upon himself by his infamous attempt to overthrow the Provisional Government of Hawaii. The first resolution is an attack upon Minister Stevens and the Provisional Government, and is astonishing in its impudent falsity. It assumes to be true assertions which the records of the American Legation at Honolulu, the testimony of naval officers of the United States and the evidence of a multitute of other witnesses of the best reputation have proven to be false. It makes a wholly unprovoked and unjust attack upon the character of a foreign and friendly government, recognized by every civilized country, including the United States a government whose form and constitution the American Congress has no more right to criticise than it has to criticise the constitution of Fiance, or Germany or England.

Thk Suritil EcMnomUt for February has an unanswerable article on the unconstitutionality in the United States of a "revenue only'' tariff. No tariff can be truly said to be "for revenue only" unless it produces only revenue, without affecting any domestic industry either to protect it or to destroy it. The Surhil Eo'iiomtHt shows that this in Hie United States is impossible, without so amending the federal constitution as to vest in Congress the power to lay an internal tax on every product on which an import duty is laid, sufficient to offset the duty or to prohibit ike domestic product althgether. as England does with tobacco. It is not sufficient to tax the process by which the article is produced. The article itself must be taxed. A tariff for revenue only is so peculiarly an English idea that our federal constitution would have to be amended before it could be carried out. We would have to begin be importing the English constitution itself.

Thk Clay county Knterprtxc reads Congressman lirookshire the riot act in good style when it says

The cowardly lirookshire had not backbone or manhood sufficient to present the petitions from this county against the passage of the Wilson bill. Mis boss in the White House told him not to present it and -lie obeyed the order. The laboring people of this district have no rights that he is bound to respect, but they will see to it that his place is filled by a different kind of man next year.

Mr. lirookshire will be very apt to hear from the working men of Clay county next fall in a way that he will despise.

:Tjik Wilson tariff bill will accomplish two things, viz: break down industries whieh have been established and grandly developed by Republican protection, and create a deficiency so large that it makes it necassary t« iiiHti bonds.

Optimism.

The times ore not degenerate! Man's faith Mounts hither than of old. No crumbling creed

Can take from tlio immortal soul Its need Of somethins greater than Itself. The wraith Of dead beliefs no cherished in our youth

Fades but to let us welcome newborn truth.

Man may not worship at the ancient shrine, Prone on his face in self accusing storm. That uiglit is passed he hails a liner morn. And knows himself a something half divine

No humble worm whose liorltage is sin, But part of God, he feels the Christ within. No fierce Jehovah with a frowning mien

He worships. Nay, through love and not through fear Be seeks the truth and finds its source is near, And fenrs and owns the power of things nnseen

Win..' once ho scoffed. God's great primeval plan fast unfolding in the soul of man. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Who Would Not Co? Could we but know

Tho land that ends our dark, uncertain travel. Where lie those happier hills and meadows low— Ah, if beyond the spirit's inmost cavil.

Aught of that country could we surely know, Who would not go?

Might we but hear

The hovering angels' high imagined chorus. Or catch betimes, with wakeful eyes and clear, One radiant vista of the realm before us.

With one rapt moment given to see and hear— Ah, who would fear?

Wero we quite sure

To find tlie peerless friend who left us lonely. Or there, by some celestial stream as pure. To gaze in eyes that hero were lovelit only—

This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure. Who would endure? —E. C. S ted man.

Content.

All lands arc fair to him who knows contont. All skies are sunny and all fields are green In dreamy inisls with softest azure blent

Lie distant cloudinmls tippod with silver sheen. •. ..

The wayside violet sheds her fragrance sweet. For him tho wild rose blushes all are spent Life's fullest gifts are poured about the feet

Of him within whose heart Is found oontont. —Boston Woman's Journal.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.

Our Investments Now Greatly In Exceuof Any Other Foreign Nation.

In the three years ending with December 31, 1SA2, .American investments in Mexico amounted to S345,:S10,000. During the same time English investments amounted to 8218,500,000. At one time English investments in Mexico fur exceeded those of Americans, says the Denver Republican, but if wo may judge by the record of the three years named the latter will soon, if they have not already done so, occupy the leading place.

American capital in Mexico has been invested very largely in mines and in railroads. During the last three years Americans invested 533,205,000 and Englishmen $27,950,000 in Mexican mines. During the same time Americans invested SI 78,075,000 and Englishmen 526,250,000 in railroads. Englishmen have, however, given more attention than Americans to colonization schemes and to land investments. They have taken the lead also in mercantile ventures, their investments in that direction being S33,900,000, as against Sl,550,000 by Americans. In connection with manufactures and material improvements Americans have invested a great deal more capital than Englishmen, the amounts being for the former §03,160,000 and for the latter only $4,812,000.

The growth of American Influence in Mexico has been very rapid since railroad communication between the United States and the City of Mexico was established, and a traveler through the southern republic can see the results of this in almost all the railroad towns. The increased intercourse between the two nations is having a good effect upon public opinion in Mexico concerning the people of the United States. At one time there was a great deal of distrust of Americans, but although there is some of it left it is gradually dying out.

Formerly the typical American In Mexico was of the rough frontier class. But since tho completion of tho raiiroadsbetter classes of Americans have gone into the country. The investments of American capital have caused intelligent American business men, and especially mining engineers and managers, to make their homes in Mexico, and thus the peoplu of that country have hud their eyes opened to the true character of tho better class of the American people.

Ancient P«rfauiery.

A curious box was recently found amidst the ruins of Pompeii. The box was marble or alabaster, about two inches square and closely sealed. When opened it was found to be full of a pomatum or grease, hard but very fragrant. The smell somewhat resembled that of roses, but (vas much more fragrant. What tho perfume was made of cannot be conjectured now, but it is singular that men in the nineteenth century should be able to regale their noses with perfume prepared in the first.

liy local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is l»y constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inllamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result.and unless the intlammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of tho mucous surfaces.

We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

I had used Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy some fourteen years ago with much success, and concluded to try it again. When I had got through with one bottle my cough had left me, and I have not suffered with a cough or cold since. 1 have recom1 mended it to others, and all speak well of it." 50 ccnt bottles for sale by Nye & liooe. 111 north Washington street, opposite court house.

For the relief and cure of a cold in the head there is more potency in Ely's Cream Halm than in anything else it is possible to prescribe. This preparation has for years past been making a brilliant success as a remedy for cold in the head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial stages of those complaints Cream Halm prevents any serious development of the symptoms, while numberless cases are on record of radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever, after all other treatments have proved of no avail.

Reactionary storms will be central on the 2d and 3d, and the moon will be new on the 5th. This will cause a continuation of cloudiness, with rain, sleet and snow, through most of the intervening time from the 7th to 11th. Heavy rains with thunder and lightning, turning to destructive sluet and snow storms, may be expected during these disturbances. The reactionary disturbances, due oil the 2d and 3d, will not likely be reached until about the nth. A sweeping cold wave will separate these perturbations from the disturbances of the period beginning about the 7th. but it will soon give place to storm conditions, and during the 7th to lltli, storms of rain and snow will visit all parts of the coun
