A Pertinent Query.
"More of this republican prosper-
h ty," shouts the National Republican
Editorial association. How about tne
"perpetuity of the nation" that is im
periled, according to the president?
f How about the "vicious system of fl
b nance" that Senator Aldrich says gives
ns alternate inflation and contraction,
"deleterious to settled business?" How
about the evil that "entails perpetual
antagonism between capital and la-
'.' Jbor?" Must we continue all these mere-
fly that wo may have the glory of re
publican rule, which gives famine In
V the islands and discontent at home?

On March 2 tho president issned ft
proclamation calling for a special ses
sion of tho senate to conveno on
March 5. It is expected that this spc-j
cial session will proceed to ratify the
several-treaties, most important among
which are tho Panama and tho Cuban
reciprocity treaties.
Tho senate met on March 1 and
listened to eulogies of four congress
men, namely, tho late Peter J. Otey of
Virginia, James Moody of North
Carolina, John N. W. Rumple of Iowa
and Thomas HI Tongue of Oregon.
On March 2 it was announced that
tho conferees on the sundry civil ap
propriation bill have agreed to striko
out the senate amendment for the ap
propriation of $200,000 for the pay
ment of the claims of ex-Queen Lil
iuokalani of Hawaii and also tho ap
propriation of $350,000 for tho exten
sion of the immigrant station at Ellis
island.
duties will bring important informa
tion concerning tho internal disturb
ances In China. It is said that be
side Sir Liang, tho now minister,
there are sixty members In his party,
including now charges d'affairs and
secretaries for tho Chinese legations
in Spain. Peru and Cuba; consuls
general for San Francisco and New
York, and a consul and vico consul for
Honolulu; also a first secretary, Mr.
Cheny, to succeed Mr. Shen, who will
return to China.
Tho ratification by tho senate ot
tho Cuban reciprocity treaty seems
to bo opposed by the European pow
ers, although so far only one protest
has been filed at the state depart
ment. It is learned that on account of
the provision regarding the duty on
beet sugar, France and other beet su
gar countries of Europe are against
tho treaty and this attitude added to
the difficulty with the treaty in tho
Cuban congress is taken as an indi
cation that some trouble will be ex
perienced in its ratification.

The Aldrich . financial bill met its
final defeat in tho senate on March 3
when it was supplanted by tho Phil
ippine tariff bill, which on that day
was discussed at length, but no defi
nite action taken.
William It. Merriam has resigned
his post as director of the census bu
reau and will accept the presidency of
a morcantilo company of New York
city. Ex-Itepresentativo Mercer of
Nebraska is being mentioned as his
successor.
On March 5 a solid gold Invitation
was presented to President Roosevelt
to attend the Black Hill mining con
gress which is to meet at Deadwook
and Lead, S. D., next September. The
Invitation was Inscribed on a gold
plate, three by six inches and an
eighth of an inch in thickness, and was
presented to the president by Repre
sentative Martin of South Dakota.
Tho coal striko commission In ses
sion at Washington has called for
more light on tho situation and repre
sentatives of both sides of tho ques
tion appeared before the commission
on March 6. The main question in
doubt was as to the payment of coal
mined according to weight or measure
and it is believed that as soon as this
point is settled an early report of tho
findings of the commission will be
made.

It was recently announced that at
least one point of the protocol made
between the European powers and
Venezuela in regard to the arbitra
tion of the claims against the latter
country will have to be changed. This
refers to the use of the English lan
guage in tho proceedings at The
Hague, the powers insisting that the
official proceedings of the court be in
French. It is thought that Mr. Bow
en will not insist upon tho use of the
English language in the face of this
opposition.
The Fifty-seventh congress expired
at noon on March 4 by limitation. As
before stated the senate will con
tinue in special session, but the house
of representatives adjourned on that
date. A great demonstration occurred
when the house closed its session, ow
ing to tho fact that the retirement of
Mr. Henderson as speaker of the house
took place. The bitter partisan feel
ing apparent recently prevented the
speaker from receiving a unanimous
vote of approval.
Two important appointments were
made by tho president in the depart
ment of justice on March 5. These
were tho appointment of William A.
Day of the District of Columbia to bo
assistant attorney general; also Mil
ton D. Purdy as assistant attorney
general. These place? were created by
a recent act of congress.
The special session of the Unitcl
States senate called by the president
met at noon on March 5. The oath was
administered to twenty-six senators
who take office for six years. Of these
fourteen were re-elected. Ten new
senators took the oath, these being
Fulton, Oregon; Gorman, Maryland;
Hey burn, Idaho; Hopkins, Illinois;
Latimer, South Carolina; Long, Kan
sas; McCreary, Kentucky; Newlands,
Nevada; Overman, North Carolina;
Smoot, Utah. Ankeny of Washing
ton, Clark of Arkansas and Stone of
Missouri did not take the oath.
The number of bills introduced in
the recent session of congress aggre
gated 17,500, of which 3,918 were re
ported and more than 2,000 passed.
The house calendar shows only 78
bills undisposed of, and this is consid
ered a remarkable record. It is also
said that the' number of private bills
passed by this congress have been
exceedingly iarge. Fifteen members
of the house died during the congress
just closed, an unusually large number.

The president has urged upon this
special session the advisability of rati
fication of the treaties in course of dis
cussion and it has been agreed that
this suggestion will be followed. In
regard to the treaties it is said that
the Cuban treaty, under the extension
provided for in the agreement between
this country and Cuba, expires at the
end of this month. The Panama trea
ty, however, will be the first of tho
two to be taken up.
Under the provisions of the naval
appropriation bill recently passed by
congress, the number ot midshipmen
in the United States navy will bo in
creased about 320 for the coming terra.

Navy Moody is hard at work on the

Ninety-five per cent of all cases of deafness
brought to our attention is the result of chronic
catarrh of the throat and middle ear.
The inner ear cannot he reached by
probing or sprayincr, hence the in
ability of aurislsor physicians to cure.
That there is a scientific cure foi
deafness and catarrh is demonstrated
every day by the use of Actina. Actina
also cures asthma, bionchitis, sore
throat, weak lungs, colds and head
