WASHINGTON , Fob. 21. During the gen-
crnl dobnto upon the nrmy appropriation bill
In the house today , Mr. Johnson , republican
of Indiana , who made Rovcr.il notnblo
speeches violently attacking the policy of
the administration during the consideration
of the army reorganization bill a fortnight
ago , returned to the assault nnd delivered
against Ihti president and sonio of his ad
visors the most scathing philippic heard In
tfio house for some time.
Ho sneered at tbc president and the In
fluences which , ho alleged , controlled him ,
Impugned his motives , questioned his sin
cerity and likened him to Dickons' most
contemptible character , charged his ( secre
tary of war with Incompctency and pre
dicted that the president would , In the end ,
bo engulfed by adverse public sentiment.
.lolmson , llic Ili-imillutcil.
Although his utterances were far moro
sensational than those In bis former speech
nnd dazed some of his auditors by the Im
petuosity with which they were declared ,
the npccch did not raise about him the storm
of his former speeches. Mr. Landls , ono of
his republican colleagues from Indiana ,
briefly staled to the house that Mr. John
son's constituents had repudiated him and
the two members had a wordy duel. Liter
In the day Mr. Marsh , republican of Illi
nois , replied to some of Mr. Johnson's
strictures , 'but ' the republican leaders had
evidently decided not to review the attacks
of the Indianan and no general reply was
inado to his speech today.
The army appropriation bill today was
lost sight of In the general discussion of the
policy of the government relative to the
Philippines and several notable speeches
were made , particularly that of Mr. Settle ,
democrat of Kentucky. The general debate
upon the bill closed today and tomorrow
the bill will be taken up for amendment
under the flvc-mlnuto rule.
When Mr. Johnson nroso for his remarks
Jio at oncu attracted the attention of the
house.

Homo Market club of IJoston gave a ban
quet at which tha president was the prin
cipal guest. From the newspaper accounU
of the affair It was an exceedingly elaborate
one , the tabln at which the chief executive
eat , In particular , being loaded down with
.rare . and fragrant ( lowers. Sweetest music
lent Its chttPiis to the occasion , an ode to
the president was sung by the banqueters
to the tune of "America" and a vast con-
couiso of people looked down from the gal
leries upon the festal board.

"This address , divested of Its verbiage ,
considered apart from Its platitudes and the !
ostentatious profession of virtue with which i
it was Interlarded , was nothing more or
less than a carefully devised and studious i
mlsstatement of the Issues between the chief
executive and these of his own party who
are opposed to his wretched policy In the
Philippines. It was an effort to befog the
subject and mislead the public judgment.
Wo are told , sir , that this address was re
ceived with an enthusiastic applause by
these who heard It , but we who read It In
cold nrliit In the light of the indefensible
tragedy now being enacted near the shores
of Asia Involuntarily think of that creation
of Charles Dickens who was accustomed to
roll his eyes piously to heaven and exclaim
with great ostentation to these about him :
' My friends , let us bo moral ! ' and who
waa the father of two daughters , ono of
whom ho named Charity and the other
Mercy.
"His excellency declared upon this oc
casion , If not In so many words , at least In
cITect , , that he had never entertained any
policy with respect to the Philippines up to
the tlmo the treaty of peace waa ratified ' i
but that ho had simply held them as com-
mander-ln-chlef. The questions as to theli
disposition and control to bo determined
thereafter by congress.
"If the chief executive really feels , as he
declared at the banquet that be did , that
the disposition of the Philippines Is a mat
ter to bo determined by congress , why docs
he not call a special session of congress to
settle the matter at once and then keep hie
hands off ?
"Heaven knows there Is need of action.
If ho Is sincere , why did he permit his sup ,
porters In the senate to vote down the other
day the Dacon resolution , which distinctly
declared that the United States entertained
no intention of permanently holding these
islands. Why did ho Insist that the Me- :
Encry resolution should be passed ; a reso
lution which is a fraud , a delusion and a
snare ; a shameful evasion , which , like s
Christmas tree , has something on It foi
everybody ? That resolution Is intended sim '
ply to quiet the conscience of the American
people ; to lull all opposition to sleep while
the piesldcnt goes ahead waging relentless
and merciless war against the Filipinos anil
laying deep and secure the foundations foi
a permanent American colony. "
.Say * 1'ri-nlilcii * Illiiiulorx.
Mr. Chairman , I am determined that the
president ehall neither befog the Issue be
tween himself and tlicso of the republican
party who oppose his Philippine policy , nor '
mlsload the public judgment , nor shirk the
responsibility for the gross ofllclal blunder ;
which ho has committed In connecvUcr.i will
this great problem. I insist that the whole
policy Is not simply an error , but that It l
a crime and that the chief executive of this
natloa Is 'the ono who has precipitated upon
us the embarrassments and the dllflcultlci
by which wo nro now confronted.
I Insist that ho did not Htmply hold the
Philippines as eomniaiider-ln-chlef. leavltin
f
the question of the disposition and contiol
of them to congrrea , but that bo formu
lated and put Into execution an affirmative
and aggrcf > 3lve policy , that of their perma
nent annexation to this counutry , ntid form
, I it through the senate with ail the powei
' nod Influence which his high office enabled
him to employ.
The president's first Intention was to de
mand of > tlio Filipinos simply a coaling sta
tlon , a measure amply sufficient for all o it
, our legitimate purposes , nnd the evacuatloc
of the Islands of Spain without compeiua
tlon by taxpayers of the United States. Hut
e he adhered to this all would have been well {
The whole union would have followed bin |
r cheerfully nnd today wo would have bcci
' at peace with the Phlllpplnp republic am
't our army a id navy , which ara now waglui
war ag lii5't ' our former friends nnd allies
. i would have been dlsbrnded.
No army bill for a standing1 nriny of 100 ,
? 000 men would have been pending and wi
could now be getting ready to reduce Insteai
J of getting ready to greatly Increase thi
d burddi of our 'taxation ' ,
| TinI''a in I llluiidiT.
t Uut the president committed a fatal error
He wrote Into that troity the absolute trans
fpp of Spanish sovereignty over the Pin ip
* plnea to ourselves nnd 'the payment of $20.
000,000 as u consideration for the cthslon t )
v Then he Ibcued to < the people of the Philip
p'-ties ' that pioclamatlon In which he In >
formed them that the United States lui
r succeeded to the title of Spain , declared tha
'the ' government and control of their terrl
" tory belonged to us , orderul them to pa , ;
y their taxes to the mlllt'iry ' govcrnmen
which ho established over tliein and blandl ;
imade known to them that our inlsrloii ii
Hieir midst was one of benevolent asslmlla
f tlon.
° The president drove the treaty througl
the e iato by the unlimited exercise of al
' those powers aud Influence which 'the grra
olllce he holds makes poselblc.
What , then , did the chief executive racai
by telling those who gathered around th
banquet board at HoMon that up to the rail
flcatlon of < ho treaty he had blmply held th
Philippines as conimaiider-ln-chlef wlthou
any policy of his own , leaving the whol
matter to bo determined afterward by th
congrctsT Was ho foolish enough tq be

Mr. Chairman , why did the president
change his original intention to the terms
Incorporated In the treiity ? What were the
Influence * that btought the change 4bout ?
I have heard It stated that the applause of
Oie people who greeted him Just about llita
juncture of public affairs while he was tn
his tour In the west was the reason for It.
Was It , then , the condition of public
sentiment rather than the right or wrong
of the matter which influenced .he presiden
tial mind ?
lIUc tinV Mi li TVitm' .
Does Iho chief executive regard his great
protosatlves to bo so sitpl'iply representa
tive that ho must needs abdicate them al
every popular wind that blows ? Does ho
feel that his high office gives him no lull-
tudo for the exercise of Individual judgment
and of Independent action" Did ho make no
nll.iwancc for lianslent evolutions of public
Eontlment , and lose sight of all the sacral |
traditions of the country nnd fea. ' to make i
his appeal to that ultimate trlbunU which I
has so often In our national history \lndl-
catcd these who have fearlessly stood for
thfl rlnlit In public affairs the sober occond
thought of the gnat American people.
Anil Is his excellency quite sure that ho
properly gauged the condition of the public
mind on the subject of Philippine annota
tion ? Is ho absolutely certain that ono
i swallow really makes a whole summer. It
I would really seem so , for In this Homo
' Market club address ho solemnly dcclarod
that the annexation treaty had paswl the
itenato by over two-thlrdo and was Bnnc-
tlnned by the Judgment of nine-tenths of his
countrymen. How that treaty finally got i
Its two-thirds' majority In thu senate the
tremendous pressure ncressary to ecuro It
there where Us fate hung doubtful and
' trembling In the balance until the very '
t latest moment , and was then only wvcd by
, the votes of senators who had most of them
j i spoken against It no man knows better
I than Mr. McKlnloy.
J ! Adulation has , Indeed , sorely blinded the
I chief ex-rutlve to the truth , If he Imagines
, that even the majority of his countrymen
approve of this permanent holding In the
Orient. Let him not pin bis faith too to-
curcly to the sordid Interests acclaimed so
loudly In his hearing. If ho will forgot the
noisy throng that surrounds him , and put
his ear long enough away , ho will hear the
steady tread , not of the 100,000 men whom
ho demands for n crusade against liberty ,
but of a mighty army of free people who
are beginning to move In defense of their
cherished traditions and their violated honor.
AVe have been told further that the presi
dent yielded up his llrst blush Impressions
at the Importunity of Admiral Dewey , who
urged that the Philippines should bo re
tained. Mr. Chairman , the chief executive
cannot screen himself behind the gold lace
of the hero of Manila. No one can honor
1 more profoundly than I do the officers of
our regular army and navy , but their pre
dilections nro naturally for arms. They
have Imbibed , of course , the prejudices and
I the preferences of their calling. Wo cannot
i blame them for desiring to magnify the slzo
and Importance of the army and navy , for
advocating expansion and taking on of a
colonial policy.
Again , we have been assured that the de
mand of our peace commissioners at Paris
to hold the Philippines Is what Induced the
president to yield. So fnr as ono of the
commissioners Is concerned this Is false ,
Uut even If this statement were true the
constitutional power to negotiate a treaty
' was his , not the commissioners' . They were
CI simply his Instruments , appointed to carry
i out his will.
' No , Mr. Chairman , this plea , like all the
I others will not avail. The truth Is that all
these commissioners got their Inspiration
and their Instructions from the White
House. Those Instructions once changed ,
the action of the commissioners would have
been different. The wrong was with the
chief executive. Ho and ho alone Is ro-
Bponslble.

Surrenilcrn to < lic Capitalists.
Mr. Chairman , In my humble opinion , the
reason for the change In the presidential
policy was his concession to the selfish capl-
talists of the country , his surrender to their
. demands. These arc the gentlemen who
1 furnished the money for his nomination nnd
r election , and who , I doubt not , have pledged
him a rennminatlon and a re-election. These
' are the gentlemen who are already seizing
a ' upon valuable franchises In China In con-
y , ncctlon with the English syndicate , with
' a member of Parliament from Wales at Its
head. These are the gentlemen vhurn Lord
, Deresford has In mind In his cordUl , but not
- wholly disinterested , invitation lo an iilll-
r nncc with China , Britain , Germany and
d Japan , against Russia and France , the old-
I time enemies of bis country , and the olrt-
time friends of ours. These are the gent -
t tlemen who are already grasping after
special privileges In the Philippines , In
Cuba , and In Porto nico. It was , I imagine ,
s for thnlr special benefit that the president
0 created his advisory board for the War dos -
s partment , composed of three American cltl-
zens , their object being to farm out vnlua-
L . ! bio privileges and Immunltlcs'whlch should
. belong to the people of those Islands them
selves and In whose disposition they should
have a voice. If their government Is to be
y free and their rights maintained.
' I have no fault to find with the spirit of
e legitimate American commerce. My con-
- tentlon is against the spirit of American
. greed , which cares nothing for the spirit of
i American liberty.
| And what do these gentlemen propose. To
amass colossal fortunes In those Islands by
virtue of their franchises and upon the
cheap labor of the native population , not
ono dollar of which will over find its lods-
o Ing place In the pockets of the American
s people. To enable them to do this , our
j whole population Is to purchase their field
. operations for them In the Philippines for
the round sum of $20,000,000 and-Is to be
taxed Indetcrmlnably for the maintenance of
a great army'and navy which la to conq'ior
nnd hold the Filipinos in subjection , and
defend the Islands after they have been ex
pensively fortified ngalnbt the assaults of
the great Kuropean nations with which our
now foreign policy will bring us into frequent -
quent contention. What else Is upon the
j program of these gentlemen ? The 'opi > n
: ' door" In the Philippines makes it totally
Imiiosslblo forever to discriminate In tariff
duties there In favor of the products of the
American farm and the American .
WJiat arc the other sacrifices that are re
quired ? That the annexation of Cuba ,
Porto Ulco and the Philippines absolutely
- j sure to come In at any early day , for I hey
? , have registered It In their vows shall pro-
clpltate the sugar , tobacco , hemp and other
cheap products of these Islands and Hawaii
upon the American market In free and unre
stricted competition with the agricultural
: nnd laboring elements of our own country.
This policy , plr , should have bft-n free
tiado In William Jennings llrynn. What Is
It In William McKlnley ?
The house had been keyed to a high pitch
n j ° ' 11 ! , Mi. Jonnson's speech ,
iHut throughout Its delivery there had
' been no Interruptions , although members of
j both sides listened attentively as tbp tor-
ride arraignment of the administration
j flowed from the lips of the fiery Indianan.
As ho tool ; lila seat Mr. Hamilton , re
, publican of Michigan , arose and excitedly
asked for the reading of the president's
linstou speech.
"I am perfectly willing , " said Mr. Jonn-
son , "I want It read and printed In the
Hecord. "
"The people have already read his
speech. " shouted Mr. Hamilton.
"Vca , nnd they will damn him for It , "
retorted Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Settle , democrat of Kentucky , foi-
. lowed Mr. Johnson with n speech against
- | Imperialism , the eloquence of which at-
| traded attention. Six months ago , he said ,
' no ono could have made him believe he
* could have ever been brought to favor a

u change of conditions had rendered It In

as it was necessary that lie should vote for

ptiblunn apllauso ) Hut hl nc-tlon In sup-
1-ort of the Kovo.nmi.nt did net mean that
ho gave his nmcnt to the administration's
policy of Imperialism.
Ho argued that wo recognized the Fill-
plnoi as belligerents against Spain nnd
were morally estopped from seeking to
plnce them under our dominion. Wo occupy
the cruel , hcartlcsa position of acceptlnR
the old of those natives and then In the
hour of victory leaving them In the lurch.
Wo must cither turn the Filipinos loose or
subjugate them. They would not In gen
erations be fit for self-government , as we
understand It. Ho knew of no principle
upon which wo could set ourselves up as
unlvctsal Ku-Klux-Klan for the regulation
oi Iho morals of the world.
"Could wo now sail away nnd leave Iho
Filipinos In chaos ? " asked Mr. Hay , re
publican of Now York
"Wo must do It , If to do otherwise means
to surrender the public honor nnd faith. "
In conclusion , he charged that , despite
the soft evasions of the administration , It
was everywhere doing all In Its power to
familiarize the country with the monstrous
farce of Imperialism.
Si-iillinuiilN Applauded.
The sentiments which received most np- ! i
platise on the republican side were : "Hold
every part of the territory ! " "Who will
haul down the American flag ? " "It was In
the air ; oven the pickaninnies on the street
were singing , 'Hold them Philippines , Mc-
Klnlcy.1 "
Mr. I.indls , republican of Indiana , reply
ing to Mr. Johnson , declared that the latter
did not represent the sentiments of his dis
trict , that he had been repudiated by the
people. He read some expressions from the
editors of republican newspapers of the dis
trict In support of this statement.
"Those editors , " ho said , "are the men
who thirty-five years ago upheld the hands
of Oliver P. Morton against the assaults of
the copperheads , If the gentleman returns

The above map has been carefully com
piled from United States documents by the
Pc-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of
Columbus , Ohio. The figures were taken
from the latest mortal statistics published
by the government and entirely agree with
the archives kept at the Hartman Sani
tarium.
The map Is made In four shades. The
lightest shade shows the states which have
the lowest per cent of deaths duo to catarrhal -
tarrhal diseases. In these states very close
to 42 per cent of all deaths In 1S90 wore
duo to catarrhal diseases. That Is to say ,
over four out of every ten deaths were from
catarrhal affections.
In the states of next darker shade the
per cent varies from 42 to 45. In the next
darker shade , 45 to 48 per cent of the whole
number of deaths resulted from catarrhal
diseases. In the darkest ehado wo have
Indicated the states In which over CO per
cent , or one-half or more , of all the deaths
| were directly traceable to catarrh as the
i cause.
| This Is an appalling state of affairs. This
I nation has got to confront the fact that
catarrh has become a national curse. Ca
tarrhal dUerses threaten the llfo of our
people. Over one-half of the people suffer
from eomo form or degree of catarrh. Fully

Mr. I/andla' parting shcl was that he com
mended to the houfo the spectacle of the
man on the floor of the American senate
who admitted that ho was a giant.
Mr. Hhea , democrat of Kentucky , said ho
was tired of the vacillating polity of the
president. Whenever the onposltlon as
sumed the temerity to Inquire Into the pur
pose of the president they were waved back
with the question , "Ho you not have con
fidence In the president ? "
"I frankly confess that I have not , " said
Mr. Ilhca. "He represents nothing I stand
for nothing that entitles mo to a seal upon
this floor. "

In the course of his arraignment of the
president Mr. Ilhcn spoke of Secretary Al-
gcr as a man who , If public history bo true ,
had been cashiered from the army for cow
ardice on the eve of battle.
"That Is not true , " replied Mr. Spauldlng ,
republican of Michigan.
"Ob , 1 do not mean cashiered In the literal
sense , I mean that ho left hla command
without orders , against orders and came
hero where ho was court-martialed. "
"Ho was never court-martialed. "
"Then ho resigned. "
"That's different , " replied MrSpauldlng
amid great democratic laughter nnd ap
plause. After some further remarks by
Messrs. Hamilton , Mitchell , Pcarcc , Sulzer ,
Talbert and Simpson ( Kan ns ) , Mr. Hull , In
charco of the bill , staled that the com
promise army bill , as read to the house ,
would show changes In Its Html form and
that some of Iho senators had regarded It
as a discourtesy that the bill had been

' A great many remedies for temporary re
lief has been devised from time to time ,
such as sprays , snuffs , creams and other
local applications , but , as n rule , the medi
cal profession lias little or no enthusiasm
In the treatment of catarrh. It Is generally
pronounced by them to bo Incurable. It
therefore created a great sensation In medical
cal circles when Dr. Hartman announced
that ho had devised a compound which would
euro catarrh permanently. The remedy was
named Po ru-na , and In a short time be
came known to thousands of catarrh suffer
ers north , south , east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pe-ru-
na Is a radical cure for catarrh becan to
pour In from all dlrectlono. Thousands of
such letters nro on file In the office of the
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company.
These letters nro not used for publication ,
except by the express wish of the writer.
A pamphlet filled with such letters will bo
sent to any address free. This book should
bo read by all who doubt the curability of
catarrh.

In n recent letter to Dr. Hartman Mrs.
Adam Staats writes as follows : "I wrlta

whole body. Through ono of lr , Hartman's
bonks I decided to write to him , Ho pro
scribed for mo and I followed hla direc
tions. I am as well as I uver was now , "
Any man who wishes perfect health must
bo entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh Is
well nigh universal ; almost omnipresent ,
Po-ru-na Is thu only absolute safeguard
known. A cold Is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds , to euro colds , Is to cheat
catarrh out of Its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh , but prevents , Every
household should bo supplied with this great
remedy for coughs , colds and so forth. '
