) DcAf itiond ' Says They AVcrc
Made Up for Partisan Pur?
poses Entirely.
(By Associated Press,)
j V/ASHINGON, D. C, Doc, G.-Speaker
? Cannon lo-tlay compiateli tho organtza
? tl?n of tito IIouso to-day by announcing
committees so that when tho Iloimo re
convenes Monday It will bo ready to ?
jiroceed at once with general legislation.
At the request of Mr. VVIlllums, tho ml?
! iiorlly leader, an hour was given to gen?
omi debato, during ihn qourso of which
Mr. DeArmond (Democrat, Missouri,)
criticised tho numerical representation ac?
corded tho minority on ? the .Important
' committees. Mr. Payno replied on be
? lini G of tho majority. The greater por?
tion of the time given to debate was
taken up In a discussion of the tariff
policy, and Its effocts. When tho speaker
brought down the gavel to-day, upon tho
adoption of tho rrlptlon to adjourn,? ho
? merely announced that thu House stood

UNJUST TO DEMOCRATS.
Mr. DeArmond said that on each of tho
sixteen most Important committees, each
of- which Is composed of seventeen mem?
bers, tho Republicans havo eleven mem?
bers and the Democrats six. This, ho
(?aid, was unjust, and unfair, and was uh
outrage to a minority which, ho said. Is
entitled to a larger representation. Mr.
DeArmond also charged that tho com?
mittees were made up for partisan pur?
poses. He said lie would propose a r?so?
lution with a view to adding one Demo?
crat to each of tho sixteen committees.
Mr. Olmsted (Republican, Pennsylva?
nia,) said that Mr. Clark, whom ho de?
signated ns "tho Democratic statistician, |
wit und prophet,',' had already predicted j
a Democratic President nnd House In-,
?G-0-?, and added that If this prophesy
should provo true, It would drlvo a hun
. ilred million dollars Into hiding within
thirty days, He characterized Demo?
cratic doctrino as "a Happy Hooligan
brand of staternanshlp, which brings dis?
aster upon everybody roncerm.-d."
Mr. ??????ap?? (Democrat, Mlsslsslsslppl,)
challenged a statement by Mr. Olmsted
that wages were never higher thnn now.
Ho ?uid that ?the Republicans were so
Insistent on the' protective policy 'thnt
tl-.ey want to give things to people who do

daughter, Alice, four1 years of ago. She has been a puny, sick?
ly, ailing child since her birth. Sho had convulsions and ca?
tarrh,! I fevers. I was always doctoring until we commenced to
use Peruna. She grew strong and well. Peruna Is a wonderful
tonic; the best medicine I have ever used. . ?
"\ was in a very wretched condition when. I commenced to
take Peruna. I had catarrh all through my whole body, but
thank Qcd, your medicine set me all right. I would not have
any other medicine.
"Peruna cured my baby boy of a very bad1,spell of cold and
fever. He Is a big healthy boy, fifteen months old. I have given
him Peruna off and on nlnco he was born. I thlnK that Is why
he Is so well. I cannot praise Peruna enougn. We have not
had a dector since we began to use Peruna?all praise to lt.?

SPECIAL LETTERS FROM
ISTHMUS OF PANAMA
Times-Dispatch Sends Experi?
enced Correspondent tu Write
Up Real Conditions There.
Tho events ot tho last few weeks on
tho Isthmus of Panama are of world?
wide importance. A revolution oc?
curred there on November 3, tho peoplo
of tho Isthmus casting off thu bonds
that hold them in nailonal unity with
Colombia, , and establishing tho Repub?
lia of pnnamn. That republic, the
youngest of all tho nations, now ex?
ists as nn Independent do juro govern?
ment, having teen recognized by tho
United States, Germany nud Franco.
Its permanency Is assured by tho fact
that the United Stales has assumed
a protectorate over It, that action hav?
ing been taten with a view to guaran?
teeing our own rights in tho ship canal
it is proposed to construct across tho
Isthmus.
All of theso things tho people know;
but tho true inwardness of tho situa?
tion In that tropic land Is as a sealed
book to tlio people of the United
States. The revolution was. a blood?
less one; but who knows how It was
brought about, tho eteps leading up to
It, and the nature of tho sentiment
which caused the Pannmnlnns to cre?
ate for themselves an independent na?
tion? It is known that tho provisional
government which has been established
Is In the hands of a Junta; but who
knows tho caliber of men compiling
that Junta, their capacity for govern?
ment, their capabilities for administer?
ing the trust reposed In them, and
thoir standing before tho pooplo? It Is
known that there, nro fair prospects
of an early conclusion of tlw canal
negotiations; but who knows the re?
cent filato of tho canni project, and
the various other questions with which
this new republic will hitvo to do? Who
knows the prospecta of the country,
tho outlook for Its n,?w government,
Its sources of revenue, resources, meth?
ods, etc.?
Those uro things about whleli tho
American publi? le in Ignorale, ami it
Is essential that that Ignorance |m dis?
pelled before CongrcBS settles Itself suri- j
ously to conrldoratlou of tho canal pro?
ject. Tho Times-Dispatch proposes to
havo Its shore In enlightening (ho Ameri?
can people on nil of theso points, and
