BO PUBLISHED BVKRY FRIDAY Bntered at the pott office at lied Cloud, Jfob.i fucond clan mall matter. WASHINGTON NOTES. Tariff history is repeating itself. The ttonatc made tho McKlnlay tariff, by at lu'chlng ubout 800 amendments to tho original bill', the sonato mado thoWll non tariff, by attaching n fow loss amendments tliuu it. hud put upon the McKinloy bill, and if tho Dlugloy bill becomes a law anything like tho shape in which tho republican members of the tluanca committee havo submitted it to tho full committee,. tho senate will havo another tariff bill to itscredit, notwithstanding the constitutional provision that all revenue bills shall, originate in the house. In the number of amendments added tho Uiugloy bill breaks nil records, tho number exceed ing one thousand. No date has yt been agreed upon to report tho bill to the senute, but unless something not now expected shall occur to prevent it will be reported inside of ten days. It ' looks now us though the hottest light over tho tariff would bo.betweou republican), instead of botwoon demo crats and republicans. The civil service law is being attack ed from all directions, and a very noticeable attack was that made by Representative Corliss, of Mich., in a spceoh made at the annual banquet of Mio alumni of Columbian university, of which he is a member. He started out by saying that the prosperity of the university was largely dependent upon the number of young men who come to Washington as department clerks, and take up courses of study after otitto hours, but that the civil servioa law was shutting off this supply and tilling the departmeut with a lot et worn out human machines. He then said: "In my Judgment the civil ser vice was a system devised by soiuoin ge'tflous minister under a monarchial government to protect the king against the wrath of the people. Under such governments tho long continued dis tribution of too political patronage made the people envious, and this sys ten) was no doubt devised to prevent revolution, but iu a republican form of government, white the voice of the poopln is sapreme, this civil service law becomes a aiost obnoxious and arbitrary restriction of human liberty. Tho house ol representatives' is the n'osl direct representative body of the people lu this country. If the civil ser vice law is wise why not apply it to this branch of our government? How many of tho older members of congress, now holding the most important posi tions because of their long snrvlco and experience, could successfully pass n civil service examination for the posi tion of messenger boy? In my Jtidg. liient there Is not one of them who would not rather retire to private lite than to submit to such humiliating ex aminations." White it is known that Prcsldont Mc-Ktnlevfavo-s the annexation of Hawaii and believes that it will be accomplish ed during his administration, there is do probability that any steps towards annexation will be publioly taken by ttie administration until after the tariff bill gets through congress, unless it becomes necessary to hurry up an nexation In order to forestall any effort! that Japan may fool disposed to make fur tbo purpose of bulldozing Hawaii, Mr. McKinloy has fully determined that so far as his control extends noth ing shall got bofore congress that would bo likely to detract attention from the tariff bill until that measure- has been disposed of.

When that date lias boeu passed he expects to retire. It hr.s often been remarked that op positcs are attracted to each other, and many examples of Its truthfulness have been seen In tho senate, but none more striking than tho close personal fi lend ship Hint has grown up between Sena tors Tillman, of S. C, (the pitchfork man) and Fo raker, of Ohio. They spend much of their leisure time to gethor, nltliotigh their political opinions nrcni wide npntt as those of nnj two men could possibly be. The color line may be sharply drawn In tho sennto if President McKinloy In sists upon standing by the nomination of J. W. Lyons, n colored man, to bo postmaster nt Augusta, Ga. The entire Georgia delegation in conirress nro- tested ngalnst this appointment and it Is understood tliut Postmaster General Wary stands with them in opposition of Lyons, who is the Georgia member of the republican national committee. Treasury officials say they feel no uneasiness concerning the now outflow of gold to Europe, which last week started off with over 17,000,000. They say it is nominal and point to records for some years past to prove it, but there are prominent members of the administration who do not like it, and who will watch its contiuuanco with more or less alarm. THE SECRET. How Doctors Protoot Thomsolvos From Contagious Diseases.. Doctors rarely oatch contagious dis eases. Almost overybody knows this, but fow know how they escape. Many believe that the doctor has some charm or antiseptic which protects him. Dr. Hartmon lately mado the truth of this matter public that all might realize its benollt. Contagious diseases arc convoyed by minute organisms known as diseases germs. These germs find their en trnnco into tho system through tho mucous membrane. If tho mucous membrane is healthy, they can not got into tho system. If the mucous mem brano is affected by catarrh the serins Hud easy uccoss. Catarrhal scbrotinns furnish oxactlv the mntm-htl nnnn which tlioy thrlvo nud multiply. To get rid of the catarrh, and thus pre serve tho mucous tucnibrano healthy, Is tho only way to bo safo from contn gious diseases. This explains why it is that some people catch diseases oaaier than others. Erorvone la ox- posed just the Bame. Not everyone, however, falls u victim to contaalnua diseases. A disease form cannot en. ter the system through a perfectly healthy mucous mombrane. Dootoia know this, and therefore guard against It. This is all the secret there is about it. The best euro or preventive known to tho medical profession up to date for catarrh in nil its conditions IsPe- ru-na. Durinir the uncertain weather of spring-time it is an unnecessary hazard for anyone to neglect to guard himself from taking disease, bv taklnir Po-runn. Send for free catarrh book.

Somanv neoole make the mistake of taking remedies which at beet are only tonics and cannot possi bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith. Greencastle, Indiana, says: "For years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma tism, which thebest physicians were un able to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was un able to take my food or handle myself in any way; I was abso lutely helpless. Three bottles of S.S.S. re- lieved me so that I was soon able to move my right arm; before long I could walk across the room, and when I had finished one dozen bottles was cared completely and am as well as ever, I now weigh 170."
