Perhaps Deacon Rockefeller believes that he can, by his “benefactions,” bribe the people into thinking kindly of the Standard Oil < inpany, the concern that is rifling their pockets.

The Indianapolis Star says that the Republicans in the legislature will try to keep the Democrats from stealing their their “thunder.” Surely that is a mistake. The Republicans have not shown, so far, that they have any thunder to steal. Certainly they have none that the Democrats would even carry away as a gift.

No severer rebuke could have been administered to Governor Hanly for the demoralization he has caused in the cities covered by the metropolitan police law than the overwhelming vote in the house to take from him the power to appoint police commissioners By a vote of 73 to 19 the house passed the McCullough bill, which restores to the cities the power to choose their own commissioners.

Let no man be deceived into thinking that the present congress is a “do nothing” body. It is doing a lot of things in the way of bestowing subsidies and continuing tariff grafts. It is feathering its own nest by an increase of salaries. And it is getting ready to make the most enormous and reckless appropriations in the country’s history. The people are not considered. All that is expected of them is that they pay the bills.

John D. Rockefeller has given some more millions to an education board. It is said that the total of his gifts to education, religion and philanthropy is, up to date, $85,000,000. Every dollar of it was extorted from the people by the Standard Oil company, from which concern, it is understood, Rockefeller has an income of $60,000,000 a year. While he is bestowing his “benefactions” with a great flourish of trumpets bis private corporation ranges the country under the black flag and pillages from the widows and orphans of the land.

FEARFUL ABOUT CAMPAIGN FUND.

Mr. Branch, Gov. Hanly’s speaker of the house, attempted the other day, by unfair and arbitrary means, to kill a bill making it unlawful for the officers of a corporation to contribute money for political purposes without first getting the consent of the stockholders. The bill was introduced by a Democratic member. It was

only by hard work that the committee having it in charge could be induced to report it to the house. It was finally reported, but without any recommendation as to what should be done with it.

A Republican member, taking a hint from Speaker Branch, who declared that the bill “did not amount to a ’rap,” moved to kill the bill by a motion to indefinitely postpone it. Branch declared the motion carried by a vote of 43 to 41. The Democrats protested that the speaker had not stated the vote correctly and demanded a new vote for verification, which was grudgingiy allowed. The new vote saved the bill and proved that Branch had misstated the result of the first count.

The fact that the bill, if passed, might curtail the Republican campaign fund doubtless accounts for Branch’s assertion that it "did not amount to a rap.” It also explains his eagernees to kill it by an incorrect announcement of the vote.

A GOOD LAW.

The bill introduced by Representative Honan, Democratic floor leader, providing that railroad companies shall equip all trains with full crews has been passed fly both houses. Railroad employes and the public are alike interested in the measure, which is regarded as of great importance. Freight trains consisting of more than fifty cars, exclusive of caboose and locomotive, shall be manned by a crew of six persons, conductor, engineer, fireman, two brakemen and a flagman. Freight trains of less than fifty cars must be manned with crews of five men. Light engines without cars must have a crew of conductor, flagman, engineer and fireman. Passenger, mail or express trains, consisting of five or more cars, shall be manned by a crew consisting of engineer, fireman, conductor, brakeman and flagman, five persons. The penalty clause provides that any railroad company sending out trains not manned in accordance with the bill’s provisions, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined in any sum between SIOO and SSOO. The additional provision is made that the railroad company shall be liable for any damage caused by a violation of the provisions specified. The state railroad commission is to enforce the law. It is believed that the new law will insure much greater safety in the running of railroad trains.

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.

Don’t Use Any Remedy That Keeps Its Formula a Secret. People troubled with stomach weakness cannot afford to use a medicine unless they know what it contains. Mi-o-na is the one remedy for stomach troubles that publishes its formula; chemically pure bismuth subgallate, to allay any inflammation of the stomach and bowels; cerium oxalate, to strengthen the stomach nerves; sodium bicarbonate, to neutralize the poisonous acids that are present in stomach troubles; and nux vomica, which restores vigor to the digestive organs and tones up the whole nervous system.

This combination of valuable remedies is found only in Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and it so rarely fails to strengthen the digestive system and cure even the worst form of stomach trouble that B. F. Fendig sells the remedy under guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A 50c box of Mi-o-na will give quick relief for indigestion, distress after eating, sleeplessness, or any of the other symptoms of stomach troubles. Unless it does this, the cost is nothing.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat. An appeal has been made to President Roosevelt by the society of Friends of Philadelphia for the establishment of a permanent arbitration congress with the consent and co-operation of the other nations of the world. This plan is not so visionary and emotional as a good many of the peace plans put forward by international arbitration exponents. It recognizes the excellent work that has al ready been done by the Hague tribunal and does not propose to supplant that institution, but rather to supplement its work by creating an international congress from which would emanate a code of international law. International law as now understood is a somewhat hazy system. It is based entirely upon precedent and is interpreted variously according as suits the convenience of nations dealing with it. The plan submitted to the president provides for an international congress to meet at stated intervals with duly accredited representatives from the various adhering governments and empowers this congress to work ont a fixed and definite international code which could be applied in practice before the Hague tribunal whenever occasion arose. President Roosevelt has expressed himself as heartily in favor of the plan and has already laid the papers in the case, before Secretary Root with a request that he sound the various foreign governments on the subject aud if possible formulate a treaty which it would be agreeable for all of the m to sign.

of treaties, the extra session discussion has now assumed the phase where it is definitely announced in a good many papers that an extra session will be called after the 4th of March, at which the Japanese school question with its resulting Japanese treaty, the Santq Domingo treaty and currency reform may all be calmly and leisurely discussed and disposed of without fuss or hurry Howcorrect this forecast will prove can be told better after the 4th of March. It is quite certain that there can be no serious attempt to consider the Santo Domingo treaty at the present session. The Japanese situation is in such a shape that the President and the State Department probably would rather have Congress out of the way while the details were being settled. Treaties, of course, are always discussed in executive session and equally, of course, the reports of these discussions are printed in the next issue of the newspapers to the inconvenience of the State Department and the pleasure of such senators as have anything to gain by muddying the waters of diplomacy. The exchanges between this government and that of Japan are now in such shape that a treaty can very probably be framed that will meet the ideas of both governments and eventually get through the Senate. But it will take several weeks more of deliberation and negotiation before this solution is definitely reached.

Without even a division the House last week passed a bill modifying the denatured alcohol act in such a way as is thought will make it more to the advantage of the farmers. It is a little remarkable that with all the hiss made in anticipation of the passage of the free alcohol bill nothing at all should have come of it up to date. It was predicted that the Act would be the most beneficent piece of legislation ever passed for the oppressed and down trodden farmer, and that it would enable him to use up all the surplus farm supplies even to the weeds in the fence corners for making denatured alcohol from which he could obtain heat, light and power. But since the free alcohol bill has passed it has been utterly nullified by the plans for its enforcement worked out by the Bureau of International Revenue. The Bureau has made such regulations governing the production of such alcohol as effectually prevents any but the already established distillers from taking advantage of the law. The amended act provides for centrally located bonding and denaturing warehouses whore the farmer can deliver his alcohol and get the benefit of government supervision free of tax. It was stated when this amended bill was passed that there were but three interests against it. The whisky trust, the wood alcohol manufacturers and the Standard Oil Company. Whether the new law will prove any more benefit to the farmer

than the old one can only be proved by experience. ttt

Postmaster General Cortelyon has been working on a new scheme in connection with the dead letter office that is greatly expediting the work of that division of the Postoflice Department and ought to result in giving a much more prompt and effective service than has ever been given to the public by the Department befqre. Instead of holding letters in the dead letter office for months at a time as has heretofore been the practice, a large force of clerks has been put at work opening and inspecting misdirected mail as soon as it reaches the office. All of the letters which can be returned to the senders are immediately forwarded and the aggregate value of this mail is shown from the fact that from $6,000 t? $lO,000 a month is thus restored to small transmitters in the inspected letters. Last month 80 cent of the mail which was returnable was sent back under the new system and in a little tvhile it will be possible for all of the mail having the address of the sender inside to be returned as soon as it reaches the dead letter office. ,

Senator Beveridge has expressed himself very forcibly over the report of the Judiciary Committee of the House which returned his anti-child labor bill to the House Appropriation Committee with an adverse indorsement. The Judiciary Committee decided that it was impossible for the federal government to interfere with the internal affairs of the various states by prohibiting the products of child labor fiom entering Interstate Commerce. Senator Beveridge says that the action of the Committee was a mere subterfuge and aimed to prevent the bill from ever coming to a vote, and relieve the members of congress from the necessity of placing themselves on record in opposition to the measure.

“WHISKY” COLD CURES Danger of Using Alcoholic Hixtures Or Coal Tar Tablets. 5 Laying aside all moral objections against filling up the system with whiskey or drugs because one has a cough or cold, the dangerous physical effects should be sufficient to keep one from using these strong medicines. A thoroughly scientific way to treat a cough and cold as well as a sensible method is to breath Hyomei through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. The first breath of its healing medication relieves the irritation, and its continued use soon effects a thorough cure.

The best people in Rensselaer always keep Hyomei in the house during the winter months, and at the first symptoms of a cold or bronchial troubles, use the remedy and prevent serious and lasting illness. The guarantee that B. F. Fendig gives with every Hyomei outfit should convince you of its curatiye powers. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI.OO, extra bottles if needed, 50c, and B. F. Fendig guarantees to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction.

After inventory sale to begin Feb. 11th Slaughtering prices will rule until all winter goods are closed out, at the Chicago Bargain Store. For Sale:—Two good building lots in good residence location in Rensselaer, each 67x150 feet, well drained and set out in fruit; cash or on time. Enquire at The Democrat office. Now that all the busines firms have had Special Sales, I have concluded to have one each day in the week, on my Cascaret Machine, the New Success. C. A. Roberts, The Buggy Man.
