CONSUMPTION SURELY CONQUERED.
Physicians Everywhere are now Caring
tble Heretofore Fatal Disease and tbe
Medical World I* Convinced.
Enthusiastic reports from once hope
less consumptives all over the land
make it certain the cure discovered by
a Cincinnati scientist is all that was
claimed for it a year or so ago when
The New York Hecorder awarded him
the diploma and 81000 prize it had of
fered for a treatment which would stay
tjie ravages of consumption.
Even the most conservative medical
journals now admit the marvelous re
sults reported by the thirty thousand
physicians prescribing Amick's medi
cines are not exaggerated.
The Doctor of Hygene of which Dr.
Cyrus Edson, chief of the New York
State Hoard of Health, is the editor,
says in its last issue: “We have de
layed for something over a year giving
notice to the Amick treatment for con
sumption because as the formula was
not given to the profession, time alone
would demonstrate whether it merited
condemnation or endorsement. With
the evidence which month after month
has accumulated we are obliged to ad
mit the preponderance of testimony
favors Dr. Amick’s claims and in the
face of results reported from physicians
who if anything were rather disposed
against the treatment at the beginning
the claims of the Cincinnati physician
are shown to have been within the
bounds of truth and conservatism. He
has from the first shown an evidently
sincere desire to have crucial and im
partial tests made of the treatment by
all physicians and to this end he still
distributes broadcast free test packages
of his medicines, each of which must
represent quite a little money. All
conscientious physicians admit them
selves powerless to cope with this de
stroyer of life except with the Amick
treatment and therefore feel bound to
give it to patients under their care, and
the fact that any person with lung
trouble can obtain sufficient of the med
icines to show just what they, will do
for each sufferer without cost proves
conclusively that Dr. Amick knows the
results will be favorable.

HIS VIEWS ON THE MONETARY
ISSUE OP THE DAY.
OBJECTION TO SILYER CERTIFICATES.
Ill* Views and Policy on Financial Ques
tions, Including Silver Seigniorage,
Bonds and Finance In General as
Set Forth In His Testimony
Before the Secret Meeting of
the Judiciary Committee.
Washington, Feb. 12.—Secretary
Carlisle’s exact views and policy on
financial questions, including silver
seigniorage, bonds and finance in gen
eral, are set forth in the testimony of
the secret hearing of Secretary Car
lisle before the house committee on
judiciary recently. This is as follows:
Concerning the coinage of silver
seigniorage, Representative Oates
asked: “I want to ask you if there is
any objection to the proposition about
coining the seigniorage and issuing
certificates against that.”
Secretary Carlisle—Well, the effect
of that would be that the secretary of
the treasury would issue silver certifi
cates calling for dollars. I suppose
when there were no dollars behind
them and if they came in for re
demption, as they might, the secre
tary of the treasury would be com
pelled to use gold or whatever else he
had to redeem them.
Mr. lloatner—Could you not coin the
silver and use that?
Secretary Carlisle—Yes, in about
two years. It would take about that
time.
W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania—Have
you not got enough silver to redeem
it?
Secretary Carlisle—No, sir; certifi
cates are outstanding against what
we have, except about §5,000,000 or
$6,000,000.
Mr. Stoner—What would be the ob
jection to issuing certificates on ac
count of the seigniorage?
Secretary Carlisle—I was going to
state that if we should issue certifi
cates with nothing behind them but
bullion I think they would be greatly
discredited in the public mind.
Mr. Stone—And in order to keep up
the credit you would have to redeem
them in gold?
Secretary Carlisle—They would have
to be redeemed in something.
, Mr. Stone—If you redeemed it In
silver it would be discredited and you
would have to redeem it in gold?
Secretary Carlisle—They would call
for silver dollars and there are no
silv er dollars to redeem them.
In answer to a question as to how
fast the coinage seigniorage could be
coned, Mr. Carlisle said: “If all
other coinage was suspended at the
mints, I estimate that we could coin
about 4,000,000 silver dollars per month
or $48,000,000 a year.”
The bond question was treated very
elaborately by Mr. Carlisle. His pur
pose as to using the proceeds of the
sales of bonds is sharply set forth in
the following colloquy:
Mr. Stone—I understand your pur
pose is simply to sell bonds to redeem
United States treasury notes and the
surplus to replenish the reserve fund?
Secretary Carlisle—That is my pur
pose, but 1 want to say to you gentle
men that the secretary of the treasury
may be confronted hereafter with a
very serious _ question as to what
he will do in the event congress
fails or refuses to make provision to
allow the deficiency. Suppose, for
instance, congress passes a law, which
it does every session, making appro
priations for some particular purpose
—the payment of pensions for illus
tration—and makes it the duty of the
secretary of the treasury to pay them
out of any money in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated—which is the
language of all of your appropriation
laws—and the secretary of the Inte
rior makes a requisition upon
the treasury department for
money to pay pensions. The secretary
of the treasury finds no money in
the treasury not otherwise not ap
propriated except the money that has
been realized from the sale of bonds.
He will be confronted with the ques
tion whether he will stop the payment
of pensions, whether he will stop the
payments upon public buildings,
whether he will stop payment for
work upon rivers and harbors, whether
he will withhold salaries or use the
money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated.
Mr. Boatner—Would you consider it
improper to give your opinion as to
the duties of the secretary of the
treasury?
Secretary Carlisle—I will give it
very plainly. I believe that it is my
duty to pay pensions and all other
public obligations and, unless con
gress stops me, I shall do so. While
I stay there I shall endeavor to main
tain the credit of the government by
paying its obligations.
Mr. Boatner—Out of the proceeds of
the bonds which you, now propose to
sell? ..
secretary Carlisle—I would not use
the proceeds of bonds if it were pos
sible to avoid it, but I^would not let
the obligations of the government go
to protest and fail to pay the appro
priations made by congress for legiti
mate purposes and for carrying on the
expenses of the government as long
as there is a dollar in the treasury.
Mr. Carlisle further stated his re
luctance to resort to bonds. As to the
kind of a bond he thought congress
would authorize there was the follow
ing:
Mr. Boatner: The plan that yon sug
gest to remedy this trouble will be
for the secretary to issue bonds for a
specific purpose: is that the point?
Secretary Carlisle: I think a short
time bond should be authorized bear
ing » low rate of interest, to be issued
in small denominations, which I think
would be taken largely by the people
who have money in the savings banks,
ind the secretary could sell them or
use the proceeds in payment of ex
penditures and redeem them out of
the further revenues. That was my
-ecommendation on the subject simply
because I saw it was impossible for
:ongress to provide by taxation any j
revenue which could be collected in
time for this fiscal year.
FOR FREE SILVER COINAGE.
Another Fight for It to Be Made Shortly
by Mr. Bland.
Washington, Feb. 12.—The strength
developed by Mr. Bland’s silver seig
niorage bill leads to the belief that
another movement will be made for
unlimited silver coinage as a sequence
of the passage of the silver seignior
age bill.
Mr. Bland introduced a bill “for the
free coinage of standard silver dol
lars’’ and it went to tne coinage com
mittee and was about to be discussed
when Mr. Bland asked that it be tem
porarily laid aside in order that the
seigniorage bill might first be acted
on. As to the measure Mr. Bland said
to-day: “It has been put aside for
the present but will probably be taken
up later. No definite plans have yet
been made, but it is evident that many
members want the opportunity again
of voting on the free silver question.”
1 Representative Williams of Illinois,
one of Mr. Bland’s lieutenants, says
that lie has no doubt that the free
silver question, pure and simple, will
again be presented to this congress.
The facts is also being noted that of
about twenty-five Republican mem
bers counted in favor of tfie seignior
age bill, some are outspoken in favor
of following up the measure with a
free coinage bill.
Representative Tracy of New York,
one of the anti-silver leaders, says
that a bill for unlimited coinage of
silver could not pass the house.
Mr. Bland’s free silver bill repeals
that portion of the act of 1883 which
prohibits the coinage of standard sil
ver dollars. It also repeals that por
tion of the law of 1887 that provides
"for the coinage and legal tender
power of silver dollars of 412% grains
standard silver.”
RECEIVERSHIP PROBLEMS.
Congress May Be Called Upon to Define
the Status of Court Protected Roads.
Washington, Feb. 12.—There is a
movement in the bouse to urge upon
the judiciary committee an investiga
tion of the management of railroads
under receivers appointed by the
federal courts. So many complica
tions have arisen lately as the system
of receivership control has spread,
that the matter has been brought be
fore the committee in several of its
phases.
An influence which tends to restrain
the committee on judiciary from re
viewing the actions of the courts un
necessarily is that the judiciary is a
co-ordinate branch of the government.
Its members hesitate to take any ac
tion which might look like interfer
ence by one branch of the govern
ment with the functions of another.
THE HOUSE’S SESSION SAD.
Work Cut Short by Mr. Honk's Death—
Eulogies on Other Dead Postponed.
Washington, Feb. 12.—To-day was
set aside by special order for eulogies
upon the life and character of the late
Representative O'Neill of Pensylvania
and the late Senator Stanford
of California, but on account of the
death of Mr. Houk of Ohio that order
was vacated and the house adjourned
out of resjject to the memory of the
dead Ohio representative. In liis
prayer at the opening of the session
Chaplain Bagby referred feelingly to
Judge Ilouk's death.
. l-pon motion of Mr. Loud the time
for paying tribute to the memory of
tiie late Senator Stanford and Repre
sentative O’Neill was postponed until
Monday at 3 o’clock.
SOLDIERS’ HOMES.
A Clause In an Appropriation Bill Af
fecting Veterans’ Resting Places.
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 12.—The
Telegraph of this city has advices
from Washington that the house com
mittee on appropriations has tacked a
clause. to a bill which it recently
reported, which will take the
control of the national soldiers’
.homes from the boards of man
agers and place them entirely
under the control of the war depart
ment.
Little Money for the River.
Washington, Feb. 12.—Chairman
Blanchard says that the river and har
bor bill will probably not be ready to
report to the house for at least three
weeks. Speaking of the size of it he
says that it will be a very small bill,
probably carrying about $10,000,000,
as the determination has been reached
not to have any new improvements
provided for in this bill and to cut the
appropriations for projects now under
way.
NEW KANSAS DECISIONS.
The Supreme Court Kentores Sheriff Mort
gage Sale Fees—-.Bull Fens" Upheld.
Topeka, Kas.. Feb. 12.— Among the
'opinions handed down by the supreme
court this morning was one by Chief
Justice Horton, holding that section
of the Douglass mortgage redemption
law relating to the fees and commis
sions of sheriffs unconstitutional and
of no effect. It provided that when
land was bid in by or for the “prior
creditor’ the sheriff should receive no
commission for the sale.
Another interesting case decided
was one involving the right of cities
to compel offenders against ordinances
to work out their fines. The court
held that ordinances of this kind were
not unconstitutional and could be en
forced. Justice Allen, populist mem
ber, dissented.
Shot bf m Jealous Hnibaad. v
Scranton, Kan., Feb. 12.—Lastniglit
about midnight Samuel Cannady, liv
ing south of here, followed Ezra Mil
ler, who had accompanied Cannady’s
wife to the railway station, and shot
him through the abdomen. A family
quarrel eaused Mrs. Cannady to leave
home and start back to Missouri where
®he formerly lived. Miller was sent
to lopeka for medical treatment.
Cannady fled.
