FROM WASHINGTON.

HA.n Interertlnff Batch of News I From the Capitol. Kf.'oui our Regular Correspondent. I Washington. June 8. ’94. ■ .Senator Allen, of Nebraska, ■ides not differ from other honest ■people in thinking that no law yught to be needed to prevent ■Senators speculating in stocks ■bid other things that may be ■bJected by Congressional legislation, but the knowledge he has ■sained as a member of the comBmittee that is investigating— at ■a snail's pace—the trust scandal ■aas convinced him that such a is needed, it having been ■lAwn that there are Senators ■whose moral probity has not ■strong enough to keep them ■from indulging in such specula■tion. Therefore he has intro■duced a bill bearing the sugges■ive title: “A bill to preserve ■the purity of National legislation,’ - and providing that it shall ■>e unlawful for any Senator or ■Representative to own or be concerned directly or indirectly in ■owning, buying or selling or in ■ny manner dealing in speculative stocks, the value of which ■may in any manner depend upon ■ vote of Congress; also, to be a ■member or interested pecuniarly ■n any board of trade, stock ex ■change, national bank, or other ■organization in which such ■stocks are bought and sold. The ■penalty for violation of this ac to be expulsion from Congress, ■ to being subject to ■riminal indictment and convic■ldn. The bill also provides that ■he oath of office taken by SenaKors and Representatives shall ■oe made to cover the things prohibited by the bill. It is not Mattering to oui’ national pride ■hat such a bill should be introduced, nor is the testimony so ■ar taken in the sugar scandal. I• • • ■ The Senate investigating com■nittee has been rather sharply Criticized for having adjourned ■ver two days this week to await ■he arrival of out of town witnesses when there are a scOTe of men ■n the Capitol building who ■night have been called on to ■estify. The only two members ■M the House—Warner, of N. ■Y., and Cadmus, of N. J.—who save been witnesses took advantage of their official positions ■nd refused to mention names. ■Representative McKeighan, of ■Nebraska, convulsed the House ■"."Ah laughter and gave the feountry a new nutshell history ■of the evolutionary politics when ■he said: A mugwump is merely la republican with a conscience—la republican with courage to do tight— a republican with brains ■o think and who insists on ■thinking, and thinks himself out ms the republican party and becomes a full fledged mugwump. ■Then he is taken into the demoleratic fold on probation. If he ■ceases to think he is allowed to ■remain, but if he still insists on ■his right to think he is driven ■into the third party, and that ■makes a populist.” • • • I Representative Conn, of the ■Elkhart, Indiana district has ■bought the Washington Times, ■the penny daily that was started la few weeks ago as the organ of ■the wage-workers of the Nationjaf Capital, and will continue the ■publication. Although Mr. ■Conn is a democrat he says that ■politics shall not enter into the ■policy of the paper, which will ■not be changed. The paper has la good circulation for a new one, ■but up to this time its advertising patronage has been very ■poor. I• • • I Many Senators who are loud ■in their abuse of the sugar trust ■have no real desire to injure that ■concern. It does not seem problable that among the numerous ■ amendments offered to the sugar ■schedule and voted down one ■that would have done the busiIness for the trust, simply proIposing that refined sugar be adIjjjitted free, should have been

unintentionally omitted. Everybody knows that the tariff on refined sugar is wholly and solely for the benefit of the sugar trust. Yet no Senator proposed that it be struck out. The nearest approach to that proposition being the amendment offered by Senator Peffer to admit all sugar free, which was defeated by a vote of 37 to 26. This in connection with the testimony taken by the investigating committee has convinced most unprejudiced people that the charge of the sugar trust having and exercising a “pull” on the Senate was substantially true, as well as the other charge that individual Senators have made money by speculating in the stock of the sugar trust since the tariff bill was passed by the House. One of the remarkable things about the debate which preceded the .vote on the schedule was Senator Vest’s charge that the Senate had also surrendered to the sugar trust when the McKinley bill was passed, just as though that were a justifiable excuse for the present surrender—two wrongs never yet made one right. • • • Representative Mercer, of Nebraska, was married here Wednesday afternoon to Miss Birdie Abbott, a sister-in law of Judge Lochran, Commissioner of Pensions. Mr. Mercer is a republican, but his marriage is likely to increase his influence at the Pension Office. • • • The friends of the repeal of the tax on State bank currency were long on confidence during the debate, but they were short on votes and the bill was defeated in the House by a vote of 170 to 102.

Obituary.

Died at her home in Walker Township, Jasper County [nd., June 7th, 1894, Minerva Jane, daughter of Joel F. and Julia A. Spriggs. Aged 20 years, 6 months and 14 days. She had been in poor health for three or four years and under treatment by physicians for ten months previous to her death. Her disease was defined by her last physician as indigestion. She was not confined to her bed all of the time, until about the Ist of May, 1894, from which time she grew worse rapidly until the 7th of June, when jT»e end came and she now sleeps in the cold and silent confines of the grave. Her w’ork is done. She rests from her labors. The esteem in which she was held is best told by the large number of sympathizing friends and the large concourse of people that followed her to her last resting place to show and pay their final tribute of respect to their deceased friend. The funeral services were conducted at the U. B. church, bv Rev. Dickenson, of Valparaiso, after w’hich her remains were ' taken to the Hersh man cemetery for interment. B. F. Ferguson is still selling, buying and trading in real estate.

Some Suggestions.

Ed. Pilot:—Now that the election of township officers is changed from the April township election to the general November election, we are apt, in our zeal for the success of our state, county and district tickets, to forget the importance of selecting proper men to manage our home affairs. It seems to us that it would have been better to have allowed our township election to be held separate from other elections. Then township matters would have received more attention for state and national politics would have been out of the way. We are now hearing but little if anything said about who are proper men for trustee, who will make a good assessor; it is all about congressmen, state legislators, etc. What officer is of more importance to us than the township trustee? He levies a good part of our taxes, spends a great deal of our money, he oversees our roads, employs our teachers, sees after our poor; in fact, no officer of government, state, national, or municipal comes closer to the people than he. We have often heard it said, and we believe it too, “the township trustee in this state has too much power.” While other officers have their work and duties plainly laid out before them, while they have only columns of figures to add and blanks to fill out, the trustee has to study and plan; has to hire, buy and sell. It is not every man who is an honest, good neighbor, who can read and write, that is fit for a trustee. That man who is best acquainted with the needs of his township, that knows something of its roads, that has a knowledge of and an interest in its schools, that man who, in addition to these qualifications is honest and has good business judgment is a suitable person for trustee whatever is his politics.

We hope in the election of township officers this year, our voters will not allow party prejudice to lead them into the support of incompetent and undeserving men. Will the Populists rise above party in the coming election and see to it that none but good, competent men are elected to fill the various various township in this county? Whenever our party has the majority it of course will elect good men. In every township where it holds the balance of power, it is its duty to throw its support to the best man. If unfit men are elected in townships where our votes could have defeated them and put in competent officers we are surely to blame. Let’s not carry party too far in these local elections. A Populist.

The storekeeper who expects to do much business in 1894 must practice the lesson taught in the following story: Two frogs found themselves in a pail of milk and they could not jump out. One of them was for giving up and said to the other. Good by; I sink. I die.” Said his mate, “Brace up! INep a jump in’ and see what, turns up,’’ So they kept a jumping up and down all night and by morning had so churned the milk that it turned to butter and they jumped off the butter to the ground. Applied to business the fable means this: If you want the business of 1894 to exceed that of 1893, “keep a jumpin’.” Don’t cry, “I sink, I die!” The merchant who continues looking for bad times will not survive to see good times first. C irry a level head, buy standard goods and keep a good, clean stock an attractive store and advertise with bright, attractive ads.—Ex.

The following is no exception: ‘I had been troubled with heart uisease 215 years, much of that time very seriously. For five years I was treated by one physician continuously. I wus in business, but obliged to retire on account of my health. A pnyatcian told mv friends that I could rot Jive a month. My feet and limbs were badly swollen, and I was indeed in asorious condition when a gentleman directed my attention to Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and said that h‘s sister, who had been afflicted with heart disease. had been cured by the remedy, and was again a strong, healthy woman. 1 purchased a bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided improvement in the circulation of my blood. When 1 had taken three doses I could move my ankles, something I had not done for months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that they seemed almost putrilied. Before 1 had taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, and I was so much better that I did my own work. On my recommendation six others are taking this valuable remedy.”—Mrs. Morgan. 669 W.
