The national, convention of the miners will meet Friday morning. The principle business will be to de termine a general i !icy.

Wheu the Senate met Mr. Culbert ton presented and liad thc. clerk to read a memorial from the Cattle Raisers' Association of Texas, urging the passage of the railroad rate bill as it came from the House. Thc let ter was accompanied by a letter from S. H. Cowan, attorney for the asso ciation, in which he said that the rail roads have in the past six years in creased rates on cattle shipments io thc extent of $18 a car, causing a total outlay of $10.000,000 above the amount that it would have been nec essary to pay under the old prices. The petition urged the Senate to re sist efforts to seriously amend the bill as mere subterfuges on part of op ponents of the bill. Thc following bills were passed: Amending the law requiring1 lights on rafts so as to make it apply to rafts in tow. Authorizing the erection of a dam across the Choctaw Hatche river, in Dale county, Ala. The conference report on the con sular reorganization bill was agreed to .without discussion. All in Publics Interest. When the railroad rate bill was taken up, Mr. Clay addressed the Senate, saying that he not cousider the principle point' of controversy a serious one. He had heard charges that both the House and the Knox bills were drawn in the interest of the railroad, but the facts, he de clared, were convincing that such was not the case. He then traced the his tory of the House bill, saying that it owed its origin to the inter-State commerce commission and had been accepted by the entire membership of the House committee, Republican and Democrats alike had passed thc House with practical unanimity. The bill might iioi be perfect, but he was satisfied that it had received only honest consideation. So, too, lie was satisfied that the Knox, the Tillman and Culbertson bills had all been drawn in the interest of the people. He discussed the question of a court review of the orders of '.he int?r State commerce commission, saying that if under the House bill the regu larity of the commission 's orders only was contested, the carrier would be deprived of the right lo contesting a rate fixed. Should Concede Review. Mr. Clay declared that of it was the intention to permit a review of the commission's finding, the right should be conceded in the bill. "Why not say so directly in the bill and get over the controversy," he said "I believe that review ought to be permitted, but I believe that the review ought to be confined to the question as to whether the rate fixed in constitutional. Thc court should, not bc authorized to go into thc whole case." Mr. Tillman and Mr. Fulton asked why, if the review privilege was to be confined to the constitutional privi lege, any provision of the kind was necessary, and Mr. Clay replied that he would agree with them if there were nothing in the bill as it stands "on the' subject of review* but that in view of the text of the bill he thought it should be amended so as to author ize the courts to say. whether, the rates fixed.^werc confiscatory. Mr. Clay referred to the differences of opinion ^between eminent lawyers when the income tax measure was be fore Congress. Mr. Tillman said it was no wonder lawyers were "befuddled" on that measure, because the Supreme Court had been on both sides. In the House. The House adopted thc conference report on the consular reform bill. April 10 was agreed upon as the date when debate on thc pure food bill shall commence, to continue ai least two days. Consideration of the legislative, ex excutive and judicial bill was resum ed, and when an amendment was of fered to the amount appropriated for traveling and other expenses of confi dential agents of thc Department of thc Interior, Mr. Tawney of Minne sota, said he was opuosed lo creating a secret service bureau for the In terior Department. Mr. Gaines of Tennessee said it was an outrage on the part of the ap propriations committee not to give the Secretary of the Interior what ne needed fo carry on the work of "run ning down the wilderness of land thieves in the West." Mr. Mann, of Illinois, said that the , Secretary of the interior had been most active in ferreting Jami frauds. He said (replying to an intimation of Mr. Tawney thal Secretary Hitch cock hail "impulsively'' asked for $10,000 when he needed $20,000) : "Impulsively! With his blood ns cold ns a fish, he could not impul sively reduce his . just needs. The Secretan* is a cold-blooded man and it is through this very noture of his that he has kept Hie public domain from being robbed outright. No, it was thc ice waler that was poured down-his back by the appropriations committee that kept him from tell ing the real needs of the service. It would bc a crime not lo support tho Secretary of the. Interior in his brave fight against powerful inllueu ces. and we will be held responsible if we do not give him wbal he needs." Mr. Williams of Mississippi, who had offered the amendment increas ing the amount appropriated for con fidential agents of the Interior De partment from $10.000 lo $20,000, said the Secretary of the Interior had stated that bis agents had "run down" a man in California who had ..gobbled" up 2(i?,000 acres of the public domain .and it was for the pmpose of looking after this case, as well ns oilier.-.

That sentence from au American paper, quoted in these col umns yesterday, employs the same verb "to slug," of course, which ap pears in "slugger," a pugilist, and "slugging match," a prizefight. It is own brother to "slog," and akin to "slay." Absolutely different in origin, as in meaning, is- -the other verb,^ "slug," own cousin of "slouch" and "slack," which Spenser used intransi tively when he wrote- of "slugging all night in a cabin," and Milton trans?-' tlvely when he^declared tbat. epis copacy "worsens and siufgs Gqd I avail River and placed in the local ?

The remedy is obvious. The drug caf? feine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue iu spite of airy medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old fash ioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that (has the deep seal browu color, chang? iug to a rich goldeu brown when good cream is added.
