Senator Hoar anticipated the inten tion ef the Democratic Senators when he offered a resolution providing for an investigation of the conduct of the war in the Philippines, which he defined when he said: "We are engaged in tho unholy task of crushing a republic, tho first great republic over established in the eastern hemisphere." Senator Car mack, of Tennessee, said of tho Democratic attitude. "Wot shall be satisfied if the Philippine committee will report favorably the resolution which Senator Hoar has introduced, but I very much doubt if anything will be done. The only course left to the Democrats is -Rebate, and during the continuance oi the discussion the whole subject will be very thoroughly can vassed.". While there has been no Democratic caucus on the subject, it has been an understood thing with them that the Philippine question shcrld be made to play a prominent part in the debates of the session even if they couldn't compel the Republican majority to legislate upon it in the right way. That the real conditions in the Philippines are unknown in this country is asserted with much positive nees. Even as conservative a man as Senator Teller says he has a number of letters which show conditions on the islands unknown to the American peo ple, who have a right to know the trnth. Republicans know this just as well as Democrats, but they will hardly permit the investigation, for fear that it would furnish political ammunition fur the Democrats. Representative Rixey, of Virginia, who is a member of the House commit tee on Naval Afiair?, says Republican members of that committee are talking one way and acting another on the numerous Schley resolutions and bills that are in the hands of a sub-commit tee of that committee, and that he in tends to have a showdown by moving that the sub-committee be discharged from farther consideration of these bills and resolutions and that they be considered by the full committee, and forcing a record vote on the motion. ?Ir. Rixey is on the right track. The constituents of every member of that committee have a right to' know just where he stands on the Schley case. Democrats in Congress have no per sonal criticism to make of the election of Gen. James H. Wilson, who was out of tho army for more than twenty years and is now on the retired list by a special act of Congress, and of Capt. Clark, whose exploits with the battle r.hip Oregon gave him fame that was world-wide and deserved, as the rep roses ta tives respectively of the army and navy on the special embassy that is to be sent to the coronation of Ring Edward. Of Whitelaw Reid, the ci villian member, they could say much, j but they are willing that he should stand las the personal representative , of the administration?nobody well- ' informed would call him a fair repre sentative of the whole American peo ple. Representative lhbcock's taritT re vision bill was introduced this week and it is troubling the Republican i leaders no little. It deals with the I iron and steel schedules exclusively, j and Mr. Babcook declares was specially drawn so as to givo no excuse to any body to say that it would justify the reduction of the pay of a single laborer, if it became a law. ? He also says that the reductions pro posed by the hill would still leave ample margin for the protection of American manufacturers of such arti cles as are still produced cheaper abroad. The Republican leaders can kill the bill in Congress easy enough, and intend to do it, but what is worry ing them is how will the voters take the killing of a measure that is so clearly in the interest of the continu era and which would curb the power of the big steel truet by reducing its profits. Democrats in Congress would gladly vote for the bill if given an op portunity, but they are not expecting to get it. There are lots of Republi cans who could not be driven by the party whip to vote against the bill, so it is to be hung up on the cogs of the legislative machinery of the House, which is absolutely controlled by one man. Representative Sulzer, of New York, said of the proposition for the repeal of all war taxes, which is being vigorous ly agitated: "The Democratic party in the House is united on the proposi tion of complete repeal of the war reve nue taxes. If it is necessary, it will be made a party issue However, 1 find the sentiment in favor of repeal grow ing among the Republicans, aud with the Democrats Boltd for such action I think it will be taken before adjourn ment." If Senator Hale isn't more careful he may be called to tho White House for the purpose of receiving a reprimand. To emphasize his remarks against de pending upon the militia and naval re serve for a fighting force in case of war?brought out by a bill providing for the organization and maintenance of a naval reserve, of which Secretary Long is the author, ho said that England had learned this lesson from her small est and wickedest war?in view of England's numerous wicked wars, this was rough, indeed?and was about to resort to conscription to raise men to fight "a baud of freemen thousands of miles away." It is a little short oi treason, in the eyes of tho administra tion, to speak of tho Boers as "a band of freemen," and Mr. Halw may expect Iiis next requisition tor pie to bo turn ed down. Tho House passed the pension appro priation bill without amendment. STATE NEWS. '? Governor MoSweeney has placed his veto on the free pass Act passed ? Dr. "W, II.

An Old Formula brought into Use with Merit Behind It 1 Medicinal Properties in it and a Reputation already Made! TESTIMONIAL. Bead this testimonial from a well-known citizen of An derson County : EVANS' PHARMACY, Anderson, S. C. Gents : It gives me pleasure to give to the public my high opinion of the value of your preparation known as Evaw Sarsaparilla. I have a cancerous affection of the face of some years standing which gave me no little concern. After I had given many other preparations for the blood a fuU trial, and had consulted several eminent physicians, I found myself not improved, my attention was called to your valuable preparation, known as Evanb' Sarsaparilla, and to my delight one bottle completely removed the growth, and I feel that every one should know of it. I can recommend EvanV Sarsaparilla in all si in and blood affections, whatso ever the cause may be. J. N. HEMBREE, Ex.-Con. and N. P. i It is compounded from vhe very purest an?bsei remedies to be found in the Matena Medico, the vegetable and mineral kingdoms being drawn upon to that er d, so that with experience and observation we have been able to compound a Blood Purifier att? altei&iive that surpasses anything: of this nature ever placed upon the market, we believe. ONE HUNDRED DOSES FOR ONE DOLLAR! By comparison with other and inferiorpreparations the cost is several tim^s less, as the dose of Evans' Sarsaparilla is one teaspoonful while similar preparations require from a tablespoonful to a wineglassful in same size bottle. Taken as a Blood Purifier, or alterative, laxative or cathartic* diuretic, or for any of the troubles arising from an impure state or condition c f the blood, it is equalled by few and surpassed by no remedy or removes ever placed bc/ore the public. it, 3 bots? $2,75?6 bots. $5.??.
