The state of New Ji?iaey is not large,

states, says the Inter-Ocean, might well
imitate the example of New Jersey and
make money by it. There are plenty of

REVENUES FIRST.

will be re-elected Speaker, will use his
inOuence against all attempts lo secure
financial legislation in the extra session
which may be made a ill please the peo

ately is tbe new tariff, so that abundant
revenue may be obtained and adequate
protection furnished wherever needed,
Tbe sooner this is had ths sooner tbe
industries can adjust themselves to the
new conditions and the trade revival be
gin. Financial legislation is seeded, but
it is not so urgent. This will require
long and carefol deliberation, and should
not be rushed through in an extra ses
sion. The cuirency commistion, com
posed of members of both braccl.es of
congress, which Mr. McKinley.it issaid.
will recommend in a special message,
can be intrusted with the work of pre
paring a scheme c( financial reform,
which congress can take up next winter.

very interesting in and about the date

would be much of a day, but it has been

bis absence from previous roll calls, and

the following letter from Scnatcr
Mitchell:
"Sa'em, Or, Feb. Li. Hon. Samuel
Hughes, Chairman of the Kepublican
Conference, falcon, Or. My lear Sir:
I understand there is a strong disposi
tion upon tho part of a majority ot the
republicans to adjourn the legislature
sine die, without further effort to secure
the election of a senator. This would
leave the state only partly represented
in the 8"nate of the L'uiteJ States, the
effect of which, in all probability, would
he to place tho control if the senate in
the bands cd those opposed to the r pub
lican party, in witch event the defeat of
tariff legislation at (be coming extraordi
nary sersiou ot congress would be as
sured. It seems lo me, therefore, there
is a paramount duty resting uion you,
to make one more determined etl'ort, be
fore thiol adi lurninent, to secure the
election of a senator. There are man
prominent republicans located in differ
ent sections of ihs a ate, eminently qual
ified for the Maitiou men who would
do cted,t to the parly, the state an I the
nation. 1 wiil co-operate witti iuii and
all ether republicans in the bgislatuie
in endeavoring to briug about the elec
tion of such a republican as the icpubli-
caii coufirence, to whom this letter is
addressed, will agree upou. Yours very
sincerely, John- H. Mitchell."
This could not bo construed as a with
drawal but might be interpreted to mean
a release of the members from their
pledges and notice that they were at
liberty to support any oilier man.
Senator Gownn ssid : "A caucus of .19
republicans is behind John if. Mitchell.
and we do not propose to change base at
this time. I give it as my opinion that
we must adjourn without securing legis
lation, and without tbe election of a
united States senator."

Uowan had read hsd been presented to

that the conference, by a standing vote,

A woman's work is hnrd in in anv ways.
Unless the woman is atroug and healthy her
work w ill cause her much (ll-.trcM and pain,
and she will miller from headaches, and
backaches and Mdr-achr, and each evening
will foul her utterly worn out, nick and dis
gusted with life. In this condition of mind
i.nd body she cannot be a loving- and ami
able companion fur her husband when lie
returns from his work weary too in body
and mind.
If a woman wants to live a happy, con
tcuted, loving, helpful married life ahe can
not take too uiuch cure uf the health and
vigor of the org-ans distinctly feminine, for
her general health and strength is largely
dependent upon her special health in a wo
manly woy. Ur. l'ierce'a I'avorite Preacrlp
lion enables a woman to be ulwayn well and
strong where a woman most needs health
and strength. It acta directly on the im
portant and delicate organs involved in her
wifehood and motherhood. It mukes them
strong and healthy. Taken dining the pe
riod preceding motherhood it banishes the
usual discomforts and makes baby's coming
easy and comparatively painless. It insures
the new -doner's health and provides 1111
Stnple supply of natural nourishment. It
tures nil weakness and disease, and head
aches, backaches, and side-aches no longer
torture ber lu her work. Over 00,000 wo
men have testified to the wonderful vir
tues of the "J-'uvnritP I'reserlptlqn " over
their signatures. An honest druggist will
not try to force on you a substitute for the
sake of a few pennies udded profit.
