Feb 12-The atti I tude of the Democrats In Congress, as a party towards the .Nicaragua Canal treaty, which the administra tion has negotiated with England and sent to the Senate, and the Porto Rico tariff bill, which has been re ported to the house, and will be taken up this week and jammed through as a party measure, is thoroughly American,and consequent Iv ri<rl)t The treaty gives more than it provides for our receiv mg It allows us to bnild a can?! with our money, provided we agree to let every nation in the world, even those we may happen io have war with,have exactly the same privileges we take for ourselves in using it. That isn't the old democratic idea of American control of the Canal, and it is really surprising that there is a pingle democratic senator who is willing to vote for the ratification of the treaty Without democratic votes, it would be bound to fail. One of the strongest arguments m favor of the construction of the canal, has been the advantage it would give U3 in a war with a foreign power. Under the present treaty we should have no advantage, as our enemies could make just the some use of the canal Imperialism is the real question involved in the Porto Rican tariff bill. It makes one of the issues upon which this year's presidental campaign will be waged The re publicans in their report on this bill, which imposes a 25 per cent duty on Porto Ricau products, have come out flat footed io favor of ignoring the constitution, and of hav? ing congress assume the au? thority to deal with the territory recently acquired by the United States as colonies, and with their people as subjects The democrats contend that the constitu tion is the supreme law of this repub lie, and that it recognizes neither colonies nor subjects ; that every foot of ground belonging to the United States is a part of the United States, and every resident of territory belong ing to tbe| United States, a citizen. The imperialists have the votes to win in Congress, but it remains to be seen whetber they can win before the people. The democratic substitute for the republican gold standard bill is (short and plain It was introduced by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and it provides for the opening of the mints of the United States to the coinage of silver, as provided by the Act of Jan 18th, 1837, upon the same terms and subject to the limitations and provisions of law regulating the coinage and legal tender quality of gold ; and that when the silver coins shall be received into the treasury, certificates shall be issued for them as now prescribed by law. Unfortu? nately the republicans have the votes to pass the gold standard biil Chandler is the only republican who will vote against it-but the substi tute will give the democrats au op portonity to record their votes in favor of "the dollar of our daddies " The vote will be taken on Thursday of this week Adj Gen Corbin, who gained some notoriety during the war with Spain, through being Alger's tool in carry ing out the several schemes devised for the humiliation of Gen Miles, as well as by lobbying during the last congress, for legislation to give him? self the rank of major general, is again playing the role of lobbyist for the same purpose He gave an elaborate Sunday din ocr, at a surburban club house, to twenty-odd members of the house, including the military committee. As Secretary Root also attended the dinner, it is assumed that be is helping the effort of Corbin for pro? motion Notwithstanding the indignant de niais on the floor of the house, by Gen Grosvenor and other adminis? tration men, of the charge made by Roberts, that Utah polygamists had been appointed to federal offices by Mr McKinley, the house committee on post offices, which has been in? vestigating, now has to report to the house that Postmaster Graham, of Provo, had an indictment for polyg? amy hanging over him when he was appointed In order to soften this proof of the charge of Roberts, the committee accompanies it with a j statement from the prosecuting at? torney o? Salt Lake City, saying thai j for various reasons it is not likely i that Graham will be brought to triai j under that indictment lt is proba ; bie that tb* wishes of the McKinley I administration are among those ' rea I sons;' for not trying to convict the \ polygamist postmaster, j It is !>j;!y by the magninimity of ! Senator Allen that today's Congres eional Record does not place the 1 senate on record as sympathizing with the Boers and believing that : this govcrment should offer media ! tion Senator Alien offered a r?solu ' ti')ti to that effect and through the absence of some senators and indif? f?rence O? others, it was put before the senate and declared adopted without a dissenting vote As HOOD ; as they realized what had b?eu done, i the administration senators flock* j ed upon the floor The yeas ! and nays were demanded, but Mr Alien objected, and the objection was sustained. La ter, Senator Allen good naturedly agreed that the vote should be recon j eidered and the resolution sent to the calendar Col Bryan stopped in Washington j again to talk to democratic senators j and representatives about what, he learned of democratic prospects during his trip east j New York.

"Expectorating on the sidewalks, in public places, cars, etc, is one Ot the greatest menaces to public health tn the spread of tuberculosis germs more deaths occurring from this dis ease last year in our city than from anyone cause " '.A Club Woman" shares in the general disgust at the habits which the correspondent of the Sun denounces so severely, but urges him "to start a crusade, have a bill passed and enforced probibibiting the wearing of long tailed dresses in the streets, the abolishing of the untidy and unpardonable open placket nuisances, disgusting to all beholders, and lastly to overthrow this bondage to a sinful fashion which holds its own against all laws of health, decency and morality v Deadly War Missiles. In 1870 an ordinary shell when it burst broke into from 19 to 30 pieces. Today it bursts into 240. Shrapnel fire in 1870 scattered only 37 death dealing missiles. Now it scatters 340. A bomb weighing about 70 pounds 30 years ago would have burst into 42 fragments. Today, when it is is charg? ed with peroxilene, it breaks up into l 1,200 pieces, each of which is hurled with much greater velocity than the larger lumps which were scattered by a gunpowder explosion.-Chicago Dem? ocrat. The Sex of Ships. The word "ship" is masculine in French, Italian, Spanish and Portu? guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would not be an error to trace the custom of feminizing ships back to the Greeks, who called them by feminine names, probably out of deference to Athene, goddess of the sea. But the English speaking sailor assigns no such rea? sons. The ship to him is always a lady, even though she be a man-o'-war. She possesses a waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches and dozens of other distinctly feminin? attributes.-Collier's Weekly. Gold. Twenty-four carat gold is all gold; 22 carat gold has 22 parts of gold, 1 of silver and 1 of copper; IS carat gold has 18 parts of pure gold and 3 parts each of silver and copper in its compo? sition: 12 carat gold is half gold, the remainder being made up of 3% parts of silver and 81 j parts of copper. . j St rons: Proof. \ Hettie -So you really think that George is in love with you?

Something; That Practically Any Man Can Do Thronyrh Self Denial. "There are some men of genius," said Mr. Nippingly, "who accumulate great fortunes by great strokes, but by far the greater number of fortunes, including those of moderate dimen? sions, and these form the great ma? jority of all, are made by the very sim? ple process of living within one's in? come and investing the surplus with more or less wisdom, but always where it will be safe. "The older I grow the more amazed I am that more people don't lay up a competence for themselves, as most anybody can do. by beginning early in life to live within their income and sticking to that course faithfully. Did I do this myself? No. Am I, how? ever, having learned the wisdom of this course, now making a beginning? I am obliged to say 'No.' I am still spending ail I get and laying by noth? ing. "There are some lessons that we all easily acquire, but never turn to our own advantage. One of these is of the benefits that arise from the exercise of self denial. We get from this at once the direct benefit of what we save, aud self denial nourishes, strengthens and broadens the will and enables a man constantly to do and to earn more and more. "There's simply nothing like self de? nial. It is the key to every one of life's treasures, and everybody has one of those golden keys in his posses? sion, eager to help him and waiting only for him to bring it in use."-New York Sun. Boers Great Pioneers. The Boer is the ideal pioneer. From the days of the great trek, in 1837, and even before that he opened up coun? tries hitherto unexplored by a white man. A great deal of fuss has been made of mighty travelers, English and foreign, who have traversed Africa, to the vast pecuniary benefit of their pub? lishers and with no small meed of fame to themselves, but there was scarcely one of the old voortrekkers and hunt? ers of the forties and fifties who did not accomplish feats of endurance, pluck and lengthy travel which were ten times as trying.-London Mail. An Amazed Woman. A woman who had an Arabic glass cup of the fourteenth century and did not know its value took it to the Brit? ish museum. After due consideration the expert, to her surprise, said that, ' though the museum did not want it, it ! might be worth $2.000. The woman shuddered, because she had been car? rying in a crowded London omnibus a bit of glass worth so much money and lt had miraculously escaped smashing. Finally, wanting money more than Arabian glass, she sent the object to an auctioneers. Fancy her amazement wnen. starting at $2.500, the Arabic cup went by leaps and bounds and was finally knocked down for the nice sum of. $0,500. Actually the Arabic cup was worth very much less, but it so happened that there were two rivals at the auc? tion, who bid against each other. China, Glass and Lamps. "Wave Clonds. The atmospheric' ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible ex? cept when they carry parts of the air. charged with moisture, up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, parallel lines of clouds some? times make their appearance at a gr^nt height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.

Nature, in her efforts to correct mistakes, which mistakes have come from careless living", or it may bo from ancestors, shoots out pimples, blotches and other imperfections on the skin, as a warning that more serious troubles (per haps tumors, cancers, erysipelas or pulmonary diseases) are certain to follow if yon neglect toheed ti:?: warning and correct the mistakes. Many :i lingering", painful disease and manyan early death has been avoided simply because these notes of warning have been heeded anti the blood kept pure by a right use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Miss Abbie J. Rande, of .Marshal!. Mich., writes: *. 1 was cured of a bad humor after suffering with it for five years. The doctors and my friends said it was salt rheum. It came out on my head, neck and ears, and then on mjrwhole body. I was perfectly raw with it. What I i suffered during those five years, is no use telling. Nobody would believe me if 1 did. 1 tried every medicine that was advertised to cure it. I spent money enough to buy a house. I beard JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA highly praised. 1 tried a bottle of it. I began to improve right away, and when 1 had finished the third bottle 1 was completely cured. I have never had a touch of it since. I never got any thing to do me thc least good'till I tried JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. I would heartily advise all who are suffering from humors i or skin diseuse of any kind to try it at once. I had also a good deal of stomach trouble, and was run down and miserable, but JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA made nie till right."
