The President is snid to favor the
* scheme for establishing a currency com?
mission; but will probably decide to post?
pone for the present the operation of the
bait which is to cntch all the gold and
silver fish of the country possible.
Dun's and Dradstreet's weekly reviews
of fade continue to give a bright picture
of improving conditions; but it is just as
well for merchants r.nl business men of
the country to wait awhile before going
into ecstacies over the situation
Arthur S. Knrdy, of New Hampshire,
is to succeed Mr. McDonald of Virginia
as minister to Persia,but he will not suc?
ceed in making himself more popular at
the court of Teheran than the Virglninn
did.
Japan threatens to retaliate if the
United States imposes high duties on
teas, silks, sugars and carpets coming
frcm that country into this; but Uncle
Sam is not much disturbed thereat. In
fact the Hawaiian mntter seems to be at
the bottom of it nil.
The Postollice Department has allowed
the free delivery service of tho "Washing?
ton city nostollice $0,000 for horse hire and
$2,258.50 for car fare for the coming fis?
cal year. This is one of the advantages
of having the national government
godfather of the city.
The penchant which Virginia politi?
cians have shown for parting their names
in.the middle almost amounts to mania,
to say the least. J. H?ge Tyier, J. Tay?
lor Ellvson and R. Taylor Scott sounds a
little too dudish to carry with theni the
weight of first-class statesmanship: but
if the gentlemen are satisfied theli con?
stituents ought to be.
The contest for lieutenant governor
grows in interest as the day for the meet?
ing of the Roanoke convention draws
nearer. At first it was J. Taylor Elly
?son against the field. Then for gover?
nor J. H?ge Tyler seemed to be a winner,
and now it is said that Mr. Ellyson will
gladly take second place if it be given to
him.
The State central committee of the ?'old
Democrats has called a conference at
Columbus. Ohio, on July S to determine
what shall be the course ot the Organiza?
tion in the coming State . campaign.
While some of the more radical members
are anxious to act independently, the
great majority do not think the coinage
issue is involved to any great degree in
the campaign, and will act with their old
party. However, it is lik-ly that they
will keep up the organization.
The President and Ca blue t have acte'1
adversely on the proposition made by
Secretary Alger that the executive depart?
ments close at noon Saturdays during
July. August and September. The ques?
tion was put to a vote at a recent meet?
ing and a majority of the members voted
against making any reduction in the
hours of labor iu the departments,for the 1
present, at least.
Secretary Gage has written a letter to
Senator Pritehnrd, chairman of the Sen?
ate civil service reform committee, rec
?mmending that the outside deputies and i
cashiers of the internal revenue and ens- |
turns service be taken out of the civil ser- <
vice classification. This reepmmenda- '

THE ROOSEVELT CONSTERNATION
A Washington correspondent wdiose
descriptive powers may possibly be under
some obligation to his imagination,draws
an amuslna picture of the disturbance
which the iuvasiou of the Navy Depart?
ment by Theodore Roosevelt has created.
It is ouly by a constant mental 'effort,
according to this 'authority, that the ad?
mirals, commodores and lesser magnates
of the sea can reeounize the necessity for
obeying the orders and respecting the
opinions of a civilian worm of the hour
like the secretary, but when it comes to
dealing with an assistant secretary who
takes his own importance for granted
and rushes about with impious disregard
for naval traditions, customs "and illu?
sions, their astonishment and grief are
really pathetic. Mr. Roosevelt, says the
correspondent. hiiH assumed and exercises
a power which nobody knows how to dis?
pute, though all ol the officers yearn to
do so. He is not subject to flattery, ho
cannot be patronized, and he has no ap?
preciation of the condescension of those
who give him reluctant recognition
without fully confessing his right to it.
The heads of the several bureaus, who
are admirals, look at each other in con?
sternation. Their subordinates, K-ho are
commodores, captains, commanders, and
lieutenants, ask each other under their
breatli what is to come of it, whether their
prestige is gone forever, and if a civilian
may outrank an officer <n the navy. They
crowd back and hold their breath as he
passes down the corridor, and then turn
to each other and say, "He has gone by.':
There must be a good deal of exaggera?
tion in all this, but somehow its founda?
tion on fact is a'most self-evident.?New
York Times.
MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.
Important action was taken by the Sen?
ate finance committee Friday on one of
the internal revenue items of the tariff
bill. The committee agreed to recede
from its proposed increase of the internal
revenue tax upon manufactured tobacco
from 0 cents a pound to 8 cents a po'iud.
There has been a great deal of opposi?
tion to this proposed increase It was
lead principally by Senator IMtchard,
the Republican Senator from North Car?
olina. He fought the Increase persist?
ently since the bill was reported from
the commit tee. Senator Pritchard told
his Republican colleague that the increase
would work great barm to the farmers of
North Carolina. Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky, as it would seriously nflect
the demand for tobacco.
Semuor Pritchnrd's opposition to the
amendment was urged upon every occa?
sion, and be did a great deal of hard
work to defeat It. He has never taken
the tight into the Senate, however, but
has conducted it earnestly with the com?
mittee and his brother Senators. A de?
cision was reached to make the rate on
cignrettes $2 per thousand on those ]
weighing less than three pounds per
thousand, and increasing the rate for
those of larger size.
EXCHANGE WEATHER REPORTS.
An important arrangement has been
concluded between the United States and
Mexico lor an exchange of weather
bureau reports. This Is an exceedingly
Important matter, and to both countries.
The United States is interested in secur
inn information cd' storms that come into
this country through Mexico, and Mexico
is especially anxious to get. advance in?
formation of low temperatures working
toward Mexican territory.
This question has long been the sub?
ject for correspondence between the two
conntries. and Is an exceedingly impor?
tant advance in the facilities afforded the
weather bureau for predicting storms
fro n the South. An effort will now be
made to secure some like arrangement l y
which information of storms in the West
IndiesYan be secured. The bureau now
has reports at irregular times from the
West Indies, where there are nine mete?
orological stations. But it is desired to
have a dally telegraphic report, such as
is received from stations in this country.
The West India service would cost about
$10,0110 per annum. The Mexican ser?
vice is secured with a cost of not over
$500, and possibly not more then$300 per
annum
The Mexican system embraces stations
over the wdiole region of the country cov?
ered by the Mexican telegraphic service,
?vjth at least one station in lower Califor?
nia.six or the Mexican gulf coast and ppa
sibly six on the Pacific [coast. ^Those re?
ports will be delivered by "Mexico free to
this country, In exchange for which tho
United States service will twice a day de?
liver to Mexico the reports received from
stations in the southern half of Califor?
nia, Arizona, Now Mexico and tho gulf
States. The co operation arranged with
Mexico is similar to that now in opera?
tion between Canada and the United
States. The daily receipt of these addi?
tional reports will render less liable tho
unexpected approach of a destrucctivo
storm to our southern ports.

tion to the living. The passages were so

Too
Knell Knife!
The use of the surgeon's knife is be?
coming so general, resulting fatally
in sucli a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes; "About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about the
size of a small pea.
It grew rapidly,and
shooting pains ran
in every direction.
I became alarmed
and consulted a
good doctor, who
pronounced it can
.tor, and said that it
"must be cut out.
This I would not
consent to, having
little faith in the
indiscriminate use of the knife. Read?
ing of the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhile
ceased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark the place
where the destroyer had held full sway.
