everyone with the import&noe of
tarapikiDg them so that repairs when
made would be of a decidedly more
permanent character than we have
heretofore bad. When ODce properly
turn piked and ditched on each side,
the water seeks the ditches and runs
off rapidly to the watijr courses, leaving
the roads dry and*i good condition.
Bat as long as roads are repaired
in a haram-scaram manner,
~ with no proper drainage, the farmers
may expect to tug through mod with
patience and corses, as each may prefer,
and teams and vehicles saffer and

Best of All ;
Cough medicines, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
is in greater demand than ever.
No preparation for Throat and Lung
Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so
agreeable" to the taste, and so widely
known, a3 this. It is the family medicine
in thousands of households.
"I have suffered for years from a
bronchial trouble that, whenever 1 take
cold or am exposed to inclement weather,
shows itself by a very anuoving
tickling sensation in the throat and by
difficulty in breathing, I li&ve tried a
great many remedies, nut none does so
well as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral which
always gives prompt relief in returns of
my old complaint."?Ernest A. Hepler,
Inspector of Public Beads, Parish Terre
Bonne, La.
" I consider Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a
most important remedy
For Home Use.
I have tested its curative power, in my
family, many times during the past
, thirty years, and have never known it
to fail." It will reljeve the most serious
affections of the throat and lungs,
whether in children or a hilts." tt- Mrs.
E. G. Edgerlv, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
"Twenty years ago I was troubled
with a disease of the lungs. Doctors .
afforded me no relief and considered
my case hopeless. I then began to use
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and, before I
had finished one bottle, found relief. I
continued to take this inedioine until a
cure was effected. I believe that Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral saved my life." ?

u Six years ago I contracted a severe
cold, which settled OJi my lungs and
soon developed all the alarming symptoms
of Consumption. I had u cough,
night sweats, bleeding -of the lungs,
paius iu chest and sides, and was so
prostrated as to he confined to my
bed most of the time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to givo
me Ayer's Cherry Reel oral, f tpok it,
and the effect was logical. I aeeiued
to rally from the first dose of this
medicine, and,'after using only three
bottles, am as well and sound as ever."

March i: 18S9.
i # ^
j Representative Springer does not
i ttiink it possible to have too much of
! a good thing; therefore bo introduced
: a bill the other day providing for the
admission of the Territories of Arizona,
Idaho and Wyoming as States.
It provides that these Territories may
become States, as provided in the
"Omnibus" bill relating to North and
Sonth Dakota, Montana and Washington,
and that the provisions of
that act shall be extended to these
Territories, the same as if they had
been included in the act. Delegate
Josephs, of New Mexico, has also introduced
a similar measure in behalf
of that Territory.
* s ii rr . __
A concurrent resolution 01 tue j\.acsae
Legislature, asking for legislation
that will open the Indian Territory 1o
settlement, has been presented to the
House.
Filibustering has been the rule ia
both Houses, so far this week, whenever
an attempt was made to take up
anything besides tbe appropriation
bills The result is that Saturday
night will probably find all the appropriation
bills, with exception of
River and Harbor?which has beeu
abandoned?iD the bauds of the President,
a thing which a week ago
seemed impossible
In the Senate the Republicans have
given, up all hope of adopting Hoar's
Southern election investigation reso
lution, tbe fact having been made
plain to them that tue Democrats
would not allow it.
In tbe House, confusion is king
Randall is bringing ill bis immense
reserve knowledge of pf?rliamen'ary
tactics iD order to get a vote on the
Cowles bill repealing tbe tax on tobacco,
while Mr. Mil's, supported by
two-thirds of the Democratic memKArH
in workiuo iusfc us bard to pre
vent it. Speaker Carlisle has had
immense pressure brought to bear oo
him to recognize Mr. Randall, bat he
refuses to do so unless a majority of
the Democratic members S'gn a request
to that effect. So far, it is said,
that more than forty have signed. If
Randall can get the bill up, it will
pass, but the impression most general
is that Mr. Mills will, if necessary to
defeat this measure, spend the remainder
of the session in filibustering.
No other legislation is expected
of this Congress, although the last
three days are likely to be made interesting.
The latest waver of tli8 " bloody
shirt" is Representative Kennedy, of
Ohio. He made a most villainous
and uncalled-for personal attack on
Speaker Carlisle and Representa'ive
Crisp, of Georgia, Chairman of the
Honse'CommiUee on Privileges and
Elections, in connection with contents
made for their seals,* early in the
session. Kennedy is a nice sort of a
fellow to criticize the political honesty
of other people. When he was Lieutenant-Governor
of Ohio, and President
of the State Senate, he decided
that seventeen Senators out of a membership
of thirty-seveo couid adm^^
report unseating fonr
seating fonr
^ "diency, the troth of which has been
fally shown by the aciiqn of two
caucuses of the Senate.RepublicansFirst
they decided that Hoar's election
investigating resolution should
vbe pressed to a vote. They tried for
several days to press it, but ou the
Democrats resorting to filibustering,
they held another caucus and decided
aot to press it further. There is a
leesou in this action, however weakkneed
it may appear, that might
f.Ha DAm.inratic leaders. In
plain language, there is never any
good to be accomplished by butting
yoar bead against a brick wall Had
uot impossibilities been attempted,
we would have inaugurated a good
Democrat on Monday instead of Harrison.
Every four years everybody in
Washington becomes inauguration
mad. The arrival of Harrison and
Morton this week has precipitated the
crisis of the disease, and is now in its
most viraleot stage, and will continue
so until after Monday. P?ople are
liable to do some vc-ry queer things
when affected by this disease. For
instance, a Senator with more mocGy
than he knows what to do with has
just paid $250 for a room with 4hree
windows overlooking the line*of parade,
and cjany have paid $5 for seats
on hard wood boards to see it pass.
Others will pay as much fflr sleeping
on a cold cot a single night.
A novel weddiDg in ijicbwond colored
society recently took place at the
chnrch of the Rev. John Jasper, the
famous aathor of "De sun do move "
theory. The bride waited at the pulpit,
while ten virgins with their lamps
burning went down the aisle to meet
the groom, who stood at the door.
As they walked the lamps of five foolish
virgins went out, whereupon they
were summarily expelled from the
building, and forced to stand on the
pavement outside dariog the entire
?? f'xlo mno n f rtAID'CC Q n_

cording to the programme. Then the
. five wise virgins, whose lamps were
barniDg brightly, escorted the groom
up the aisle, where he was met by the
f bride, while the choir sang, " Behold,
the bridegroom cometh."
