FftlDAl FEBRUARY 11, 18. This 19 whit Senator Teller said of this era of prosperity: "I do not know j perhaps, but 1 have tried to learn 1 1 , have given this question hours of s'udy that tew men have) and I believe that this is the great question: that the money questions threaten not only this people, but the enslavement of mankind throughout the world. I said, in IVA to my countrymen: l'ou are entering upon an era of industrial slavery such as the world has never seen.' Mr. Presi lent, it is here now. With all your boasted prosperity, you are closing the mills ot New l.ngland and deducting from the wages of the laboring man 10, 13, ami 3D per cent, and making it im possible for him to perform the dutie. of citizenship, and then you tell us that all these things are done in the interact of honor, and labor must stand it. Bui the bondholder gets the bounty." If all the public building bills intro duced in this t'ongreps were paseed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President it would take WfiOöfiQQ of tne government funds to foot the bills. Jiut the significant part of the item is that from present appearances the House will not vote for a siugle new public building at this session although there has been some talk of taking up a few bills for localities where the need is most passing. The House Committee on l'ublic Buildings and Grounds has considered only one bill up to date, and that was not tor a new project, only for an appropriation f.r a building that has alieady been authorized. The Lower House of Congress passed a law a tew years ago authorizing each member of the House to have a private secretary, for which there WW 91200 per year appropriated for the payment of raefa hell. The law did not say that the member should hire, and did not place the clerk so hired upon the regular payroll of the United tates, but lett it to the Congressmen to pay their clerks with this money. The practical workings of this law is, that a great many Congressmen do not hire the privite secrearies at all; others hire and only pay one-halt of the amount and the residue of the money which is not paid for euch clerkships goes to the Congressmen, thus increasing their salaries. Two Hemocrates-Klliott, of South Carolina, and McAleer, of Pennsyl vania, -voted against the Teller resolution in the house. One liepublicanLinney, of North Carolina, voted for the resolution, and White, the only colored man in the house, also from North Carolina, dodged. In the 6enate the political division on this question was quite different. Tom lieed is not boss in that part of the national capitol. Judge I'almer, of Jasper county, has rendered a decision to the effect that county commissioners have no legal right to employ tax-ferrets to hunt up sequestered or ommitted property and report it for taxation. He holds that this duty devolves upon public otlicers as the sections of the revised statutes giving commissioners this power were repealed by tho general tax law of I Mil, and that the repeal of the law of 1881 in IHHH did not revive the old law. The Republicani are crowing because the receipts during January are in excess of expences. There is nothing to feel jubilant about when they stop to consider that there is in reality a de ficiency of over 8.'0,0(X),0O). The profits derived from the sale of the Union I'aciHc Hallway is the excuse for the good surface showing. This is no part of the monthly revenue, and can not be so tigured. senator Thurston says that the peoble don't want any more currency reform. This is a stem winder for the Major by the man who presided at the Convention which nominated him for president. The Maryland Senatorial contest will not carry a bribery investigation as a trailer

SUTHERLIN GIVEN TWENTY YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY. Jury Gives its Verdict After being out Twenty-nine Hours. A Great Victory for Martindale & Stevens. Good Behavior will Reduce the Sentence to about Fourteen Years. Guilty. Manslaughter. Twenty years in the penitentiary. Those were the words which fixed the fate of William Sutherlin at ten minutes before 2 o'clock this afternoon. The court room was filled to its utmost capacity when the prisoner was brought into court. All eyes were turned upon him and he appeared the nerviest man of the entire assembly. The jury was ready with its verdict at 1:30 o'clock but the Judge could not reach the court room for fully twenty minutes. Bailiff Vinnedge escorted the jury to their places in the court room and they had the appearance of having a hard night of it. The verdict was handed to the judge, who read it slowly and distinctly. Not a muscle twitched in the face of the prisoner and at first it was hard to detect whether or not he got off as easily as he expected. But in a few

minutes his face turned deathly white as he consulted his attorneys. The long period of confinement fell npon him with all its significance. Neither the

prisoner nor the attorneys were decided whether or not to present a motion for a new trial and the judge allowed them until tomorrow to decide

on that matter. The sentence is for twenty years but by good behavior he can reduce it to about fourteen years.

This means about the same as a life sentence, for it is not likely that he will . live to the end of the term as his contitution is not such as to combat life of confinement. A physician who has attended him informs that he is a consumptive and that the chances for a long life even if free are not at all good. The verdict is a great victory for Martindale & Stevens. They have won a victory with all the odds ot circumstantial evidence against them which victory is infinitely more for them than if the defendant had had evidence to disprove his guilt. The prisoner should accept this verdict for it is evident that the most that can be done has been done, Atty's Bernetha, Lauer and Glazebrook are to be congratulated for their efforts in the prosecution. While they have not succeeded in securing the severest penalty, the ends of justice have been attained. The verdict evidently means as much to the prisoner as if it had been a life sentence.

General Debility and LOSS of Flesh Scott's Emulsion has been the standard remedy for nearly a quarter of a century. Physicians readily admit that they obtain rc suits from it that they cannot get from any other flesh-forming food. There are many other prepara tions on the market that pretend to do what SCOTT'S EMULSiQM does, but they fail to perform it. The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil made into a delightful cream, skillfully blended with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which are such valuable tonics, makes this preparation an ideal one and checks the wasting tendency, and the fatient almost immcdiatey commences to put on flesh and gain a strength which surprises them.
