? f?6mewlint debonalr old gentleman, whoso
? jflgiiro In the national House of Ttopre
fientatlvoM hns boon a promlnent one for
mnny years. A tiny uprny of lllles of the.
valley nfid two or threo vlolet. were on
hls lflpelfcntid a pmllo pln.ved ov.r hls
face, but ns ho proeoedod the snille dis
n.ppeared. ;.
Thoro "waa nepubllcan applanse nftor
tiehrlv everv sentence. At ilrst lho Demo
dfftt. sat ln utter silence. Then 1 saw
two or thrtio liemoerats, Includlng Cap?
taln l_*rnb, applaud n patrlollc utternnce.
Flnally, Gerternl Henderson bxclalmod.
"Oo on with your rough and tumiiie
fighting on thls fioor. bnt I Ri'&y you
alwnvs Iteep your cyos on that flag up
yondor, nnd be wllllng lo glve ?P y?trt
llfe to defend It,"
Then It was that nearly every Demo?
crat on tlio floor Jnlnod ln tho storm of
applause, whlch was maintalned for a
conslderable tltno.
A fow words more, nnd Geiiernl Hen?
derson oOncludtid by rapplng onco with
hls g.ivol and deelaring the Mlfty-soventh
Congress adjourned slno dle, Tt wus thon
Ihree nilnutes past noon.
Instantly about a dozon Republlcan
'members sprang to thelr feot, wavlng
tlny flags, and struck up "Amerlca."
The rost nf thn Republlcans booii Jolned
]n tho naUonal hymn, and beforo tho flrst
vorse wns ended tho Denioorals wero
slnglng ns loudly aa any. Speaker Hen?
derson came down from the dalfl, and tho
Republlcan members prossed forward to
jihake hls hand. Diitor, whon "Amorlca"
nnd "Auld Lring Syrto' wore vlelhg with
i?ach other for supremney of sound, tho
Domocrats jolnod ln the processlon ancl
bade tho Speaker good-by, Ono of the
last to shake hands with Speaker Hen?
derson was Mr. Rlchardson, tho Dcmo
eratlc leador, who has beon ln constant
end warmest.strlfe with him for the past
bIx days. He ehook tho Speaker's hand
rapldly, sald a. fow words, smllod fnlntly,
and went back to hls. seat, though nearly
avory other member wns atandlng about
the dals.
VOLXTME OF SOUND., '
Now tho song has becomo "He's A Jol
ly Good Fellow," and sovoral' vol'oes
?rom the spectators gallorlos swoll tho
yolume of sound. Many vlsltors havo
erowded ln upon tho floor by thls tlmo,
among them a numbor of ladlos, who go
forward with the mon and tell tho
Speaker goodbyo.
Flnally the pross gnllery started the
Hongr metre Doxology: "Praiso God,
From Whom All Blesslngs Flow." in
Btantly there was a remarkablo hush,
whlch contlnuetl untll the four llnes
?woro sung. Then thero wns loud ap
Iplause from tho floor.
It was now 1_:_0 o'clock. The crowd
Igrew rapldly less. Tho oorrldors wero
jiow erowded. and a vacant seat could
bo found with difflculty in olthor tho
Eenato or Houso restaurants, whlle
Btanding -room .at the bar was at a
premlum. Early ln the afternoon the
Capitol was desertod, save by attaches,
and a few vlsltors. The play had
endQd. The curtajin had beon rung
down on as fino a blt of serlo-comedy
as tho Amerlcan peoplo havo enjoyed In
yoars. For tn view of what all tho
cwwtry had beon led to ebepect of thls
nessfon of Congress, the 'real acpom
pll6hmentsf wore fow. The promlses
of last fall's campalgn, brought In con
trast with the sum of tho fulflllmonts
as counted one by one at the end of
tho sesslon, suggest vaudovlllo of tho
fcnost popular type.
MANY PliEDGES UNFUX/FH.LED.
Republlcan campaigners, from the Prea?
ldent down, promlsed a law that should
regulate the trusts. The fulflllment is
ono blll passed at tlie urg-ent roquest of
tho great rallway systoms of tho country
and a brief provlslon ln another bill,
whieh will bo for tho speclal bonellt of
a half dozen of the moat powerful of tho
trade combinations.
The Republlcans promlsed a blll to re
form the currency. Thero has boen ab
solutely nothlng done, and of the three
measures proposed hy tho majorlty, Re?
publlcans were not tinltcd on any.
The Republlcans promlsed to* complete
arrangements for tho constiuctlon of un
isthmian canal. An extra sesslon of tho
Senato wlll begln to-morrow to further
dlseuss the fulfillment of that promiso.
lt was promlsed that leglslation should
bc enactcd whlch wouid allow tho inhab
Itants of the l'orclgn possessions of the
XInltad liltatM U? trado with uo on terms
that wouid make thelr materlal conditlon
better than it was when thoy were under
the domlnion of Spaln. Nothing waa
done.
lt was promlsed that a treaty with
Cuba wouid he ratiiied whereby the %c
qulsltlon of lho freedom of the Island
wouid bo a blesslng in a commerclal
pense to tlio Inhabltants and to tho pooplo
of the XInited States. The extra sesslon
of tho Senato ls also neceswiry to debato
;whetner thls"prdmlso should bo kept.
It wis promlst-rt that four torrltor.los
Bhould bo added to tho Unlon of States.
It was not done.
Theso are only a few partlculars ln
"whieh caropatgh pl<$ge_ havo not been
Kept. Far bo It" from me to say that tho
country wouid havo proflled from thelr
lUinilnicnt, but a promise mndo with
honest mon, is a promise kept. With poll?
tlcal partles it is too often only a moans
to catch vote..
It cannot be sald that tho Democrats
Heserves unalloyed praiso for thelr course
In thls Congress. They have lacked
above evorythlng a thoroughly compo
tent leador. Mr. Rlchard_jm' ls a par
liamontaiian, hut he has been woefully
lar.klng ln the aoutenesa, tho broad
jiilndedness, and tho matmetlmn whieh
phould charactcrlze the lcAHir nf a poll?
tlcal party on tlie tfoor of the Houso of
Jlepresentatk'os. As a result, thoro has
been a notfcoable Inck of cohcslon, and
unanlmlty among tho Demqcrats. Thelr
pollcy has been too nthlllHtlc. They have
fought to destroy wlthout belng prepared
' to offer anythlng hy way of substltu
tlon.
But tho oountry ls umiiieytVuinbly un
Her dec-p obligatlons to the Democracy
for tho pollcy of obstructlon whieh the
minorlty of thn House followed for the
Jast week of tho sesslon. Thls policy
docreased by at least nlBB'tcnths thn
number of laws. that wouid havo been
enacted. More thfin n. half of tho statm-s
enacted ln tho rush of tho last week of a
eesslon of Congress nre ylolous. The
Democrats roduced the amount of had
Jeglslatlon to tho mlnlmuni. Tho Ro
{publlcans cannot clalm so much.

How do you account for such onormous
snloa of your medlclne ln so short a tlmo?
nsked a reporter of Munyon'a ropresen
tatlve lnst evenlng.
Tho reason is very slmplo, ho replled.
For years tho" dnlly pnpors havo beon
flllcd wlth flamlng tulvortlsements of dlf
foront medlcal prepnratlons guarantcolng
to curo all tho Hls flesh ls halr to, pub
llshlng testlmonlnls from dlstant. cltlos
only, and compelllng tho poor' sufforors
to pay tholr hard-enrned money for tho
romody before uslng, Tho publlo wero
becomlng disgusted. Professor Munyon
ontered tho lleld wllh his new school of
modiclno, and Instead of nbusing others
lo mako capital for himsolf, sald to tho
slck nnd afnlcted: "I havo a curo for
such nnd such dlseases. To prove thls
fact I have placcd 10,000 bottles of the
cure wlth a roputahlo nowspaper, where
they can bo obtalned obsolutely froo by
any ono who wtshes to try them. All I
ask ln roturn ls that you report tho ro
sult, elthor good or bad, to the paper
making this distiibutlon." In thls manner
Professor Munyon has glven away 20,000
vials of hls remedles ln BIchmond alono
during tho past year. At flrst tho peoplo,
who had been humbugged for years,
could hardly bellevo ln tho truth of thls
offer, but as tho tostimonials from woll
known men and women (all from thls
oity and vlclnlty) bogan to be publishod,
there was a rush for those cures, and at
tho exptration of two weeks, whon tho
papors announced that nlnety-slx out of
every hundred persons uslng them had
beon cured or greatly benofited, tho most
sceptical was convlnced of the vlrtuo of
those romedles. Thus, you see. Munyon,
wlth hls honest work, obtalned' In a few
weeks what others had been strlving after
for years?-the contldenco of tho peoplo?
Professor Munyon trustlng in 'tho virttte
of |hls romedles, whlle others depend on
sproad-eaglo advertlslug. Tho formor
mothod wns bound to win, and to-day
thousands of peoplo depend entirely on
Munyon's Remedles io cure whatevor all
merits they may have. No more doctors'
bllls for them. Wlth Munyon's Guldo to
Health and a caso of hls remedles in tho
houso, they feel lnsured agalnst disease,
and well they may, for lt is now nn es
tabllshed fact that these medlclnos havo
cured more dlseases during tho past. yoar
than the whole medlcal professlon coin

can any porson hesltato one moment to
