The New York Evening Post shows excellent Judgment in the selection of words whan it styles this congress the most "brutish" that ever assembled. It passes the understanding of ordinary men to comprehend the delight of its members In pure malice; In the destruc tive side of legislation. Inability to legislate constructively Is not surpris ing, 'because not unusual. But we gen erally feel Justified in assuming that men of all parties, whlle they may be utterly mistaken in their choice of methods, mean well. We can say of a man wlflh some confidence that the mere faot that he is an American cltl ren assures us that he would not de liberately desire to break down Amer ican Interests and ruin his country. However mistaken his Judgment on matters like the tariff and the curren cy, we cannot conceive that he Bhould willfully propose to take action that he knows to be utterly ruinous to the country, any more than we can think of him as taking up arms against the government in open rebellion.. Yet this is the depth to which this congress has fallen, according to the Pioneer Press. Not only negatively, tout positively, it is arrayed against the national existence and well-being as clearly as if its memfbers had raised the flag of rebellion and begun to levy war. The refusal to act on the various financial propositions submitted, thus entailing a frightful and unnecessary iburden on the tax-payer, was the nega tive side. The positive side Is found In two amendments to the sundry civil bill now ponding. One of these la pro posed by Mr. Gorman, and provides that no bond shall be sold hereafter unless they be sold after advertisement to the highest bidder. Mr. Gorman knows that in the contract made with the syndicate which floated the last issue there was a clause providing that it should lhave the first option to pur chase any bonds that may be offered up to next Octotner. That was part of the consideration paid for the gold de livered In exchange for the bonds. It is an obligation as binding as any that could be made. The question Is not now whether the Insertion of this clause was wise or necessary or right. The point is that it was inserted, and that the honor of the nation was pledged to it by those who had author, ity of law tor so doing. What Mr. Gorman asks of congress, therefore, Is a public repudiation of the pilghtod word of this nation. He Is willing, In order to humiliate and embarrass the administration, to brand the' govern ment of the United States as a liar, in the eyes of all the world. The other amendment of like char acter Is fathered by Mr. Mills. It proposes to repeal all those portions of the existing statutes of the United States which confer authority to issue bonds upon, the secretary of the treas ury. What possible object is there in this? Solely to remove the last defense of the credit of this country. Mr. Mills knows perfectly well that the tlhren bond issues made by the treasury were necessary to keep us from going to tho silver basis. He knows that no bonds have been soJd or will be sold for any other purpose. He ought to know that every civilised government In the world confers upon the administrators of its finances some powers to protect them agaiiust auddun danger when the legis lature is not at band to act. He would cut away tflie only safeguard of ths treasury, the only provision that has saved tlie country, not only from the silver standard, but from actual bank, rurtcy; not only from paying its Ions In silver. 1ut from paying th-m at all. And to what end? Nothing ex copt the crippling and humiliation of the government itself. These acts are not the acts of partisans; they are not the acts of imen bent upon revenge; they are the acts of traitors and mad men. When It comes to the point v.ihere men are not merely willing to subordinate public Interests to private aims, tout to actually level a legislative rifle at the .heart of the government Itself, it is treason. This congress is worse than "brutish." It is a collection of Insurgents against the heart of the nation. There Is a strong probability that Governor Lord will not only appoint new railroad commissioners, but that he will also fill all other offices which the legislature should have provided for toy election. There does not seem to be any room for doulbt as to his legal right to do this under the con stitution of the state, and as the gov ernor is (known to be a pretty good lawyer, It is very unlikely that thers will be any serious question of his authority to do so. The constitutional provision was evidently framed to meet Just such an emergency as has arisen, and Is really so plain that It can hardly be disputed. An observant traveller wlio lately visited Astoria has made the remark there are but two places In the United States that now offer extraordinary Inducements to Immigration, and in vestment of capital, Superior, Wis., and Astoria, Ore. The reports in the trade papers show three times as many resumptions of work as aluit downs. This is highly encouraging, but the improvement as the spaing progresses is Jlkely to b much greater. One of the toest recommendations a stranger can find here Is the fact that there ifl scarcely a vacant business room in town There has been a decided revival of business confidence in the East, and its effect is already beginning to be ob served in the West. There Is buoyant feeling among Ab torlans Just now whloh portends great things for the town after a while. It Is said that a good deal of prop erty In this vicinity Is quietly Changing hands dolly. The Republicans do not want an extra session of congress, but if one is called they will moke it as profitable to the country as a Democratic presi dent will permit.

Dr. Prios's Cream Eskirsr Fowter - Coll M-JJ a'Uwialar F. Saa ftMKltf AUTHOR OF 'T0DERN HEATHEB." The Famous Southern Novelist Mrs. E. Burke Collins Tells of Her Complete Recovery from Nervous Debility by the Use of Paine's Celery Compound. The London Graphic, In Its recent summing up of the half dozen succcss-l ful novels of the year, Includes wlth Du Maurler's "Trilby," Hall Calne's "Manxman," Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes," "The Heavenly Twins," and "Ships that PaHS In the Night," Mrs. E. Burke Collins' "A Modern Heathen." Speaking of this last work of our distinguished southern author, the Graphlo says: "What Geo. W. Cable's writings are to the Creoles of New Orleans, Miss ilurfce to the rough strata of human .ty among the Tennessee mountains, And Gertrude Atherton to California, Mrs. K. Burke Collins' are to the Acadlans of the Laulnlana Pine Lands. In her latest work Mrs. Collins has itruok a new vein In literature, open ing to the novel reading world a vision if the real life of the Aeadlans of the backwoods, among the wild, scarcely Itnown region of the bayous and iwamps of Louisiana." Besides her novels She contributes men week Short stories, sketches, etc., to the prominent magazines and to a ?reat variety of other publications. Although her writing has always jeen a labor of love, yet such Incessant mental exertion, constantly harvesting the ideas of her brain without a sin gle season or fallow time for rest and refreshment, could not fall to have Its eeffct on the recuperative power of her nervous system. At one time she found herself tired out and weak from Euoh uninterrupted work; she became nervous and Incapable of work; she even saw nervous prostration staring her In hte face. The general toning up that her system needed so badly she found In Paine's celery compound. To. day she Is perfectly well and strong again, busy as ever with her brain and pen, and grateful to Paine's celery compound for the timely help when failure and trouble and despair seemed about to close round her and shut her off from everything that was dear to her. She says: New Orleans, La., Nov. 21, 1S34. I wish to add my mite to the thous. ards of testimonials which you haee received in regard to the efficacy of this wonderful compound. In my pro fession of author, such a strengthening medicine is invaluable. I have Just completed my 95tlh novel, and constant work at the desk has weakened my constitution, Injured my nerves, and 1 suffered from general debility. When a person In that condition writes con tinually, living In the realm of fiction and romance, the effect upon the ner vous system Is remarkable. I was weak and debilitated, suffered from In somnia, and was Irritated and ner vous. Four bottles of Paine's celery compound gave me strength, quieted my nerves, and brought sleep to my pillow. I owe lasting gratitude to this wonderful medicine, and I take pleasure In adding mine to the long list of testimonials. Yours Gratefully, Mrs. E. Burke Collins. 313 Valence St; Paine's celery compound Is found to best supply the great need of stu dious, sedentary people. Its extenslv use by brain workers, both men and women, suffering: from sleeplessness indigestion, or other effects of a defi cient nerve force, shows its ability to feed tired, emaciated .nervous tissues. Nothing else has ever possessed any thing like the power of Paine's celery compound to restore a healthy nervous tone to the entire body and to thor oughly cleanse the blood. School teach ers, professional men, newspaper men, ministers, public officials, men whose dally outlay of vitality, because of hard, trying, anxious work, is exces sive, find renewed strength, not only of tho nerves, tout, through their heal thy action, of the entire body, In Paine's ccilery compound. Its use short ly dispels headaches, rheumatic pains, dyspepsia, heart trouble, general delbll Ity and languor, and all other outward rlTiis of the grave mistake that comes from disordered nerves and Impure Wood.
