sotos, March 15.—Speaker i unanimously renominated for ■ of the house of representatives . Saturday night's republican caucus, attendance of members was unusually large, 193 of the 903 being present. The new members were conspicuously numerous. Mr. Payne, of New York, was selected to place Mr. Heed in nominar turn. He referred in flattering terms to Mr. Reed's popularity in the house. He said that Mr. Reed was nominated when the oongress was elected; that he was the choice of the republican party and that it was the business of the caucus to respond to the demand. When Mr. Payne had taken his seat Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who occupied the chair, put the motion, and it was adopted without a dissenting vote. Mr. Payne, of New York, and Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, two of the veteran members of the house, were designated to escort the speaker, who was quietly seated in his private office, to the flour. As he entered all the members rose to their feet and greeted him with a hearty burst of applause. Mr. Reed bowed bis acknowledgments, and, in the area before the speaker's desk, said: QwrriJLMKK:—I am very greatly gratified by y#ur kind action to-night, ami shall try to serve your wishes with whatever ability I have. We have again, as in the las t congress, a po-litically-divided legislative power. The house ol representatives will be republican by a considerable majority and, fresh from the people, will endeavor to carry out their wishes. 1 do not doubt your determination to do all In your power to bring this session of congress to a speedy close, our duty is simple, and the people expect us to perform it at once, and then leave to them the recovery of the country from the stagnation and depression of business which have so sorely tried the patience of a vigorous and growing people. What others may see fit to do we do not know but we have strong hopes that all branches o: the government will be in accord as to the policy of giving to the people domed tally whatever their wisdom may devise. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, chairman of the ways and means committee of the that house, was called upon to state what had been done in preparation for which an extraordinary session of congress had been called. Mr. Dingley said: I congratulate the republican members-elect of the Fifty-fifth congress on the prompt and harmonious manner in which the preliminary work of this caucus has been accomplished. [Applause]. I trust that it is an augury of the promptitude and harmony which will be exhibited in the extra session which will open on Monday. The repufiilcan members of the ways and meant committee of the last house, in response to a general demand for this course, has occupied several weeks la revising the tariff with a view of providing

tumcu-ui revenue u> carry on me government without the necessity of borrowing in time of pence; end at the seme time ao adjusting these Junes as to encourage the industries of this •ountry which have been so b»<liy stricken partly by excessive foreign competition during the past three years. [Applause], We hope to complete this work by Monday so as to be able tc present a tariff bill to the house for reference tc the oonunittee on ways and means which wtu probably then be appointed, and for prompt report back to the house for its consideration and 1 will not undertake at this time to foreshadow the provisions of ihc«biU which we shall present. Beat assured that whatever shortcomings it may have will not be the result of a want of careful considerat ion, but of the inherent difficulties in framing- a measure of such magnitude. The republican members of the ways and means committee who have framed tMU measure believe, however, that, barring the temporary interference arising from anticipating importations for the purpose ol avoiding new duties an interference which will depend entirely upon the promptitude or the delay in its passage, the proposed bill will secure the two ends so earnertly desired by th* country, sufficient revenue to run the government, encouragement of American industries, and the opening of abundant opportunities fot labor. [Applause, j - The congress which will meet la extraordinary session on Monday will meet, the expectations ot our people without party distinctions It it shall promptly put upon the statute book.n tariff measure that will meet these two needs. Capital ami labor unite in asking that there be •o unnecessary delay. [Applause.] Mr. Walker,of Massachusetts, offered » resolution providing for a committee of seven members to revise the rules. Mr. W. A. Jstime.of Pennsylvania,made n motion to adjourn. This, amid some confusion, was voted down, and Mr. Walker was permitted to proceed with his remarks. He criticised the rule* and maintained that au impression existed that they did not permit that freedom of debate which the house desired. Mr. Mahauey, of New York, followed in a few remarks, in which he asserted that the "gag" law, which was so prominent In the Fifty-fourth congress, did not die in that congress, but hail been re-enacted here.^ That it was the usual trick of self-eqJSdituted leaders temporarily to move the adoption of the rules of the preceding congress, but that it was easier to move "Mount Etna" than to secure their amendment after this was done. Mr. Walker's resolution was tabled. A resolution was adopted which requires the chairman of the caucus to g caucus when requested by 25 members in writing. All the present house officers were then re-elected. They are as follows: H. IX louden, of Michigan, chaplain. i Alexander McDowell, of Pennsylvania. clerk. Benjamin F. Russell, of Missouri, sergeant-at-arms. W. J. Glenn, ol New York, doorkeeper. WHY DID THEY DO IT? A Young Engaged Couple Take Cartootte Add at Fad Wayne. lad. Four Wayne, ind., March 14.—Wm. £.

Nit York. March 13.—R. 6. Dun A Ctx say • to-day in their weekly review of tirade: It is a curious illustration of American nature, this continued discouragement, even while the increase of productive industries and of legitimate business steadily grows. 2io genuine or lasting improvement eould come otherwise than slowly and step by step, after suoh a depression as the past four years have witnessed; and the most hopeful feature of the situation is that j the gain is so nearly devoid of elements i which involve unsoundness and probable reaction. The money markets j continue especially favorable to indus- ! trial recovery, and there is no such j speculative epidemic as to look up an i excessive share of available capital.

lae annual statement ox wneat in farmers' hands March 1 has not in the least stimulated speculation. Those commonly considered worthy of attention indicate that fanners'and commercial supplies together—196,000,000 to 206,000,000 bushels—exceed the outside estimate of home demand, 180,000,000 bushels to July L, by much more than the quantity likely to be wanted for export in view of the continued outgo of com, amounting for the past two weeks to 6,894,888 bushels, against 1,591,475 last year. Wheat exports from Atlantic ports is two weeks hare been 2,451,747 bushels, against 2,921,097 last year, and although western receipts are but 3,45] ,569 bushels for the two weeks against 4,567,592 last year, they are •tjiU so large for the season as to discredit alarms about speedy exhaustion of the supply. The price has declined 8jji cents for the week, and corn is a ; fraction lower. Cotton is not active, though a sixteenth higher, for the curtailment of consumption by many mills does not : yet help priees in the least, nor the | suspension of print cloth reports, and dealers so generally hold back orders for other goods that the tone is weak. Thu speculation in wool continues, and sales for the two weeks have been 17,905,900 pounds, whereas the largest previous sales for the same period were 12,017,676 pounds in 1892. While | there is much trade between dealers, j manufacturers show, by purchasing ; far beyond their present wants, the belief that larger business is coming. Iron furnaces March 1 were producing 169,966 tons weekly, 7,027 tons, or four per cent, more than February l, and although visible stocks have increased 3,024 tons in four weeks, still more furnaces have started this mouth. The demand for finished products still lugs behind the supply of pig iron, except in the great steel works whose stocks are not reported, but their orders without doubt cover full production for several months. Bessemer pig is a shade lower, but no other change in quotations appears, and there is gradual increase in the demand for plates, sheets and all the wire family of prod- i nets. With the advent of spring weather and out door work much more business is expected. The starting of the Maryland rail 'works under contract with the Carnegie company, in order to make shipments by water more cheaply, is significant. The chief events in the railroad world have been encouraging. The transfer of the Lehigh V alley to the control of the Morgan and Drexel houses promises important relief and tends to greater harmony of coal interests for the future. At the same time the reduction which will be announced to-day of 25 cents in priees of anthracite coal looks toward a larger demand and better employment in the the future. The reports made to date of railroad earnings in February covers 8,150 miles, 45 per cent, of the total mileage in this country, and the United States reads alone show earnings in that month of $50,563,165, only a tenth of one per cent, less than last year, but 10.6 per cent, less than in 1695. The Mexican roads, in most tables in- i eluded, show an increase of 28.8 per I cent., and therefore render returns as j to the l'n|ted States somewhat misleading. March earnings thus far reported show an increase of 5.0 per cent, over last year and the tonnage west bound, as well as the better class of east-bwund tonnage, is gradually gaining. Failures for the past week have been 35»v in the United States, against 500 last year; and 61 in Canada, against 60 last year.

1I*K1NUEY*S policy. t MSKake That Is Ukely toPnws Grave Oae. Maj. McKinley eaters upon the work of performing- has contract to restore prosperity. It wss understood during the campaign that the promise was to restore prosperity immediately after the election, but when that promise failed of redemption, the major's friends set forth that there had been a mistake about it; that it was unreasonable to expect important results until the new-ly-elected president was afforded the opportunity to put his policy into force. Accordingly the return of prosperity was postponed until after the inauguration, but we may now look for the opening of the mills, a thing very much more to be desired, as the major put it, than the opening of the mints. Of oourse the new president must be given a little time to take his bearings and to get his working force in order. The restoration of prosperity is much more eiisy in promise than in performance, and it is not fair to be too exacting. Every reasonable person is willing I to give the major a chance. Eliminate the partisan view and it will be seen that he is a very worthy gentleman, and that he cuts a pleasing figure in the public gaze. He means well beyond a doubt, and he will be as glad as anybody can be to see better times, leaving aside all consideration of the credit that must accrue to his administration ! through restoration of prosperity. It : is a fact, however, that be seems to be on the point of making a mistake as to the means to be employed to bring f about business and industrial improvement. The need for currency reform was admitted during the campaign to ' be a pressing need, but currency reform appears to be no part of the policy ; of the new administration, which is laboring under the impression that the safety and well-being of the country depend alone on tariff tinkering. It is i widely believed that this is a mistake that is likely to prove a grave one, and it is to be noted that even the logical beneficiaries of the protective policy are protesting against it. It looks, therefore, as if the hew administration had chosen the wrong oourse at the start, and as if the people were to be sacrificed for the sake of the favored few. One thing is clear, at any rate— the money power is serenity itself.— Binghamton (X. Y.) Leader.

A PLEDGE AGAINST TRUSTS. Pmldent McKinley’* Opposition to Oppressive Combines. Although an inaugural address means no more than the subsequent conduct of the speaker shows it to mean, something' is gained by President McKinley’s expression of unqualified opposition to oppressive combines for the regulation of prices or of transportation rates. This pledge of the president to do all in his power to smash the trusts was not given in the heat of a campaign, when the temptation to catch votes is wellnigh irresistible. It was given in the deliberation of careful preparation for an office intrusted’ to him by the people. If it means nothing, it stands for a deliberate, and wanton intention to deceive. It is presumed that the president knew the full purport of such a pledge and that it placed upon him the obligation to spare no legitimate exercise of his power and influence in the shaping and execution of laws to protect the people from the oppression of the monopolistic combines. This obligation embraces the approval of all proper legislation to destroy the oppressive combines, to disapprove all legislation tending to favor or in any way to encourage them and to select officials who will enforce anti-trust legislation. Many of the trusts now in existence received their initial opportunity in the McKinley tariff law. Some are still profiting by tariff legislation. If President McKinley is true to his pledge he will refuse to approve any tariff law which gives profitable opportunity to a trust or in any way favors a trust. Unless the republicans in congress are willing to reflect discredit on the republican administration they will shape legislation in accordance with the promise of the president. Democrats in congress in the president’s anti-trust utterance have a strong weapon with which to combat monopolistic legislation in behalf of the Manna syndicate. Every tariff tax on an article controlled by a combine may be condemned out of the mouth of Mr. McKinley.—St. Louis Republic.

Deluded Gold Boss. Th« democratic papers which supported McKinley last fall are steadily hugping to their breasts the delusion that they see prosperity on the threshold, and in spite of the fact that they have been fooling themselves this way for months, they are still at it, with undiminished confidence, apparently, in the substantiality of the phantom that fixes their gaze. Of course, the restoration of prosperity as the effect of popular determination to stick to “sound money** is about all the excuse those papers had for going oyer to the support of the republican candidates, and in view of their eagerness to see this excuse materialize, it is not surprising that they sometimes fancy they are about to grasp it. One would supthat after a daily disapmonths they would bethet the thing isn't (X. Y.)

WHAT MR BRYAN THINKS. Tke OtMentle LeMer AaalysM MwKUler’i Iuagual Speech. In a special communication to the St. Louis Republic regarding President Mo> Einlej’s inaugural speech William J. Bryan says: “I have read with much Interest those portions of President McKinley's inaugural address which treat of the money question and the trusts. His declaration against trusts and other combinations of capital is encouraging to those who believe that it is the duty of the government to protect the weaker members of society from those who are pecuniarily powerful. His words justify us in expecting an aggressive policy, for he promises to recommend new legislation. if new legislation is necessary, as well as to anforc# the laws already in existence. “The official duties of a president are so great and exacting that he must necessarily depend largely upon his appointees in the department of justice, both for the enforcement of the laws now upon the statute books and for suggest ions as to additional legislation. “If the appointees are thoroughly In earnest, they will find immediate work to do and can soon determine whether the trusts are flourishing because of executive clemency or because of legislative indifference. If. on the other hand, the president's subordinates are friendly to the combination. it will be difficult for him to carry out his promise, no matter how good his intentions may be. “The sympathies of a public officer control his conduct, and it is to be hoped that tbe executive will surround himself with men whose sympathies are with the people rather than with the trusts. The promise of the president should make even his political opponents withhold criticism until he has a chance to redeem the pledge given. “I was especially pleased to note the emphasis which he placed upon the demand for equal rights. It is not equality of possessions but equality of rights that tho people demand; equality before the law. or. to quote the democratic maxim, ‘equal rights to all and special privileges to none.* * ‘The president recognises that prevailing conditions are unsatisfactory. He refers to the fact that willing laborers are idle, and that loss la entailed upon useful enterprises. “He admits that the country Is suffering from industrial disturbances and needs speedy relief. By following this admission with the financial question, he seems to suggest that the money question is a paramount issue. “His promise to endeavor constantly to secure international bimetallism is a rebuke to those who think that the gold standard should be maintained because of its own merits. The system which is so bad as to justify an early and earnest attempt to get rid of it cannot be defended, but his declaration that, bad as it is, it must be endured until help comes from abroad will be discouraging to those who have ceased to expect international cooperation can be secured through persuasion. “It is humiliating to think that after more than a century of national existence w» must depend upon the right of petition in stead of relying upon the right to legislate If any part of our industrial depression is due to the gold standard, then it is certain that to that extent the depression will continue, unless ‘the other great commercial powers of the world’ join us in restoring

bimetallism. - “It Is to be regretted that the executive did not define his position more clearly upon the question of paper money. If he had openly advised the retirement of the greenbacks the people could be considering the question, but instead of doing that directly he obscures bis purpose by usingthe phraseology commonly employed in bankers’ conventions. “His reference to ‘arrangements,* which are ‘temporary in their nature,* and his anxiety to relieve the government from ‘the necessity of maintaining so large a gold reserve,’ are familiar to those who have watched the effort which the national bankers have made to secure the right to issue all the paper currency of the country. The commission is a favorite scheme of the financiers, but a commission cannot settle so important a question as that now before the people. “If a commission is appointed, each member will have a fixed opinion before he enters upon the work, and each senatoi and member of congress will vote his own opinion without regard to the report of the commission. “Shall we have bank paper or government paper? That is the question suggested, but not directly asked. “'V “The question must be settled by the people through their elected representative* and commissions will have but little effect “WILLIAM J. BRYAN.” OPINIONS AND POINTERS. --We trust Mr. McKinley will allow no previous engagement to stand between the people and prosperity.—Atlanta Constitution. -A high tariff is a great boon to a few employers.

Woman’s Nerves. Mrs. Platt Talks About Hysteria.

wnen a nerve or a set of nerves supplying any organ in the body with its due nutriment grows weak, that organ languishes, f When the nerves become exhausted and f f* die, so to speak, the organ falls into de- V cay. What is to be done? The answer is, do not allow the weakness to progress; atop the deteriorating process at once! Do you experience fits of depression, alter* nating with restlessness? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one moment you laugh I and the next fall into convulsive weeping? I Again, do you feel something like a ball rising I tn your throat and threatening to choke you, I all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to I light and sound, pain in ovary, and pain especially between the shoulders, sometimes Ices of voice and nervous dyspepsia ? If so, you are hysterical, your uterine nerves are at fault. You must do something to restore their tone.
