Washington, Feb. 25.—a memorial
from the Idaho legislature was pre-
sented to the senate to-day, protest-
ing against the pooling bill as a plan
to plaee the railroads in the hands of
a vast syndicate and thus crush coin-
petition under the iron lieol of
monopoly.
Mr. Voorhocs, chairman of the
finance committee, presented a com-
prehensive resolution for an investi-
gation by the committee of the effect
of the tariff and internal revenue
laws.
Mr. Wolcott of Colorado th.en pre-
sented ;is anamendment to the sundry
civil bill now on the calendar an
amendment providing that if the
president,upon invitation of Germany
or Great Britain or any of the other
governments of Europe, shall deter-
mine that this government shall bo
represented at the international or
other conference to be held with a
view to secure internationally
a fixity of relative values be-
tween gold and silver as money,
by means of a common ratio between
those metals with free mintage at
such a ratio, he shall be authorized
to request the attendance of a com-
mission of nine, three to be appointed
by him l>y and with the consent of
the senate, prior to the adjournment
of the present congress, and the
others f<> be a joint committee of this
congress, three to be members of the
senate and three of the house of rep-
resentatives. The amendment makes
available $100,000 for the expense of
the commission.
"It is satisfying," said Mr. Wolcott,
"to those who vote for bimetallism,
and it should be satisfactory to those
gentlemen who talk for bimetallism
and vote against it and who await
with ravished eyes to see what Eng-
land will do."
Mr. Wol"ott asked that the amend-
ment go to the finance committee and
Mr. Hale made the suggestion that as
the sundry civil bill was so soon to be
considered there should be no delay
in getting the amendment from the
finance committee and the appropria-
tion committee.
Consideration of the Indian appro-
priation bill was resumed, and Mr.
Kyle offered an amendment that the
word "Indian" should include not
only those of full blood, but those of
mixed blood, of whatever degree,
while tribal relations are maintained.

WOMEN ON LIVE TOPICS.
Art Training, YlvUectlon, Itiminem Train*
inisr ami Immigration DUeussed.
Washington, Feb. 25. — Woman's
work in the field .>f education and
organized work in • patriotism
and politics occupied to-day's
session of the National Council of
Women. Many of the papers em-
bodied suggestions for iinproviug the
methods for teaching the young and
the various phases of female educa-
tion.
The opening address was by Dr.
Julia Holmes-Smith of Pennsylvania,
whose paper was read by Miss Clara
He wick Colby of Washington. It
gave an analysis of humanity so far
as regarded personal beauty. Fol-
lowing this review came a statement
of the necessity for the cultivation of
higher ideals in children and a pro-
test against the commonplace in edu-
cation.
Virginia Graff of Pennsylvania
pointed out that the children, irres-
pective of outside conditions, were
responsive to kindergarten teaching,
while Mrs. .1. Ellen Foster of Wash-
ington protested acrainst the restric-
tion of art instruction to the higher
arts.
The perils of immigration were
commented on by Mrs. I. C. Manches-
ter of Rhode Island of the National
association of local women of Ameri-
can liberty. She protested against
indiscriminate immigration anil de-
clared that tlie great middle class was
becoming alarmed at the serious
aspect of the situation, since the
foreign vote had become so important
a factor in tlie demoralization of poli-
tics and labor interests. Special legis-
lation compelling all immigrants to
bear carefully granted certificates,
extending the time of naturalization
and basing citizenship fin educational
requirements, was advocated.
DOUGLASS' LAST LETTER.
The Colored Leader IHseussed Politics
the Day Dcfore ills Death*
ISuttk, Mont., Feb. 25.—The follow-
ing letter, written by Frederick
Douglass the day before his death,
has just been received by Ellis I'.
Passmore of this city, dated Cedar
Hill, Anacosta, 11. C, Feb. IT, 18515:
1 cannot say that 1 am much elated
by the victory of the Republican
party, though I am glad tlie Demo-
cratic party has met with defeat I
have many fears that tlie victory of
the Republicans may make them even
a little more indifferent'about pro-
tecting human rights under • the con-
stitution than when they wero in
power before. It is to the shame of
the Republican party that it could
protect the rights of American citizens
everywhere but at home. It made
no earnest effort to see that tlie con-
stitution was obeyed in the Southern
states and the ballot box protected.
The fourteenth amendment declares
that when any state shall deprive
any of its citizens of the elective
franchise representation shall be re-
duced. No attempt has been made to
enforce this provision by the Repub-
lican party or any other. Yet all
swore to support the constitution.
I have not declared for any par-
ticular candidate for the Republican
nomination in 1806, nor do I see any
need of such declaration at this dis-
tance of time. The man likely to fjet
it will be from a state which the Re-
publicans may think it ditlicult but
important to carry. Old "Mr. Avail-
ability" will as usual decide the ques-
tion as to who the man shall be.
Still, we have a chance of getting a
better man from the Republicans
than from Democrats or Populists.
EXCURSIONISTS IN A WRECK.
A Mardl <lras Train Derailed and lluriicil
— A Northivn Man Killed.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 25.—On the
Louisville it Nashville railroad about
forty miles south of here a Mardi
Gras train of eight coaches was

scene of the wreck with all of the
available physicians in the city.
One report is that seven passengers
were killed, but Superintendent Me-
Kinney of the Southern division of
the Louisville & Nashville road, who
went to the scene of the wreck, tele-
graphed that one man was killed out-
right and one woman probably fatally
injured, llotli were passengers from
the North and their nanus are not
known. Many others were more or
less injured.
All the eight coachcs were totally
destroyed by the fire.

Happiness in a Southern Man's Home
•—Teli's About the Ked I""laK of
Danger at tlie Itallroad Cross-
ing—Warning to America's
Men.
"For twenty-six yenrs I have used
tobacco in great quantities and < f late
years took to cigarette smoking,"writes
Mr. W. E. Simpson of L rompte, La.
"I want to go on re<j r>l that tnlmeco
has robbed me of many years of life and
a great deal of happiness. 1 realize It
now as 1 compare my feelliibH and my
condition with that of a year ago,when
I was a tobacco saturated cigarette
fiend. Many and many a time did I
try to quit smoking myself into etern-
ity, but 1 could not put through a day
without suffering extreme nervous tor-
ture, which would increase hour by
hour till finally, to save myself as it
seemed, from almost flying to pieces, I
had to light the little, white pipe stick
and swallow the smoke. One day I
read In my paper "Don't Tobacco Spit
and Smoke Your Life Away," just what
I was doing, it came to me like the
warning of the man who waves tho red
flag of danger at the railroad crossing,
and said that No-To-Bac was an abso-
lutely guaranteed relief from tobacco
slavery. I did not believe it, but like a
drowning man grasping at a straw I
commenced taking No-To-ltac. The ef-
fects Were magical, it destroyed the
nerve craving, and desire fur cigarettes.
Two boxes, woulil you believe it, made
me well and strong. 1 have gained
ment.' lly, physically, in vigor and man-
hood, and with the brain free from the
nicotine and a breath no longer be-
fouled with tobacco smoke I am so hap-
py to-day to write No-To-Bae did it all
a year ago, so the cure Is time tested
and tried, not only in my own case, but
several of my friends who have boon
also cured.
"We have a baby hoy now. My wife
and 1 feel that all this happiness start-
ed from the time when 1 first used No
To-Hac, and in evidence of our appre-
ciation anil in order that the memory of
the happiness may be perpetuated in a
living form, we want t<> name our baby
boy after tin man who wrote the line
"Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your
Life Away." i.
"No-To-Baolspopularhereand all our
druggists sell it. Hardly a day passes
but somebody asks me about No-To-
Bae, so 1 don't want you to hesitate to
use these lines in any way that you
think will make known to suffering hu-
manity the happiness that there is in
store for the many men with nicotin-
ized brains and weakened resolutions.
If they will only make up their mind to
save the waste of vital power—to say
notiiing of tie' money—now going up in
smoke and out in tobacco spit."

Deafness Can Not He Cured
by locnl applications, ns they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous fining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, hearing will lie destroyed
fo rever; nine cases out of toil are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of tlie mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Hail's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
