A young man who suffers from ill- health has no right to marry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitu- tional tendency to acquire them is inher- ited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will ‘have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi- tion to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bron- chitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the air-passages which, if neg- lected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures 98 per ceut. of all cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals the delicate and sensitive tissues of the air-passages and lungs, checks the Cs, facilitates expect- oration, drives out all impurities and dis- ease germs from the tainted blood and builds new and healthy tissues.

It looks as though Baltimore is out of it for good. Wrigley has yet to make hig first error at second. Tom Daly is apparently playing ball for the entire Brooklyn team. Notwithstanding ‘Jud’ Smith's poor start as a batter in the big league, the tall boy is well up in the .300 class. The Senators hammered McKenna out of the box yesterday. Umpire Brown sent Dunne to the bench and Miller w gettin, a good trouncing when the game was call- ed. Killen pitched splendid ball through- out. George Davis, the shortstop for the ia was hit in the face by a foul-tipped ball yesterday at Philadelphia and will play ‘no more this season. The spuere struck half an inch below the eye and He was carried to a nearby hospital and the serious. All the players at Boston yesterday were afflicted with “stage fright,” the same state of affairs that existed last season in the final series at Baltimore. Think of Boston making nine errors and yet winning from the Orloles. Little Willie Keeler again hurt his ankle and will be out of the game for the remainder of the season. Pitcher Suthoff, recently brought to this city by Manager Irwin from Toronto, was allowed to return to his home in Cincinnati for the balance of the season. Last Sur day he accompanied the Shamrocks of t city to Indianapolis and held the Indian- polis Reserves down to five hits, also striking out five players. Suthoff will prob- ably piteh another season with the Toron- tos before becoming a full-fledged Senator. James McGuire, Washington's ‘1d Rell- able,” stands fifth in the fielding averages for ‘catchers, heading such good men as McFariand, Criger, Kittridge and Donohue, yet Jim is “touted” for the “has been” McGuire has taken a drop in his like all the other good stickers th om, but batting at 274 he is as good a catcher as there is in the busine: With the acquisition of Sparks and G the Pittsburg club has thirteen pitchers. batting ADING RACERS TO COMPETE.

At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the sec- ond meet will be started. A total of fif- teen events has been arranged for the pro- gram, which will be run off in quick suc- cession. Anticipating a large crowd, spe- cial provisions have been made with the railroad company to have a special line of cars run to the park and return. At the nt caiculation the meet will result in 2 hours of solid sport, which will be exciting nature, owing to the eral of the races will mean big money for the winners. The jirst championship race under the new circuit will be run at this meet, with a sixty-point first and other points in proportion.

O. Stealey: Now that “grim-visaged war hath smooth- ed its wrinkled front’? the most important matter interesting the public mind is the political complexion of ihe next House of Representatives. The present House consists of: Republi- cans, 204; democrats, 125; populists and in- dependents, 28; total, 357; republican ma- jority over democrats, republican ma- jority over all, 51. ‘The democrats, to obtain control of the next House, must elect 179 members, or gain fifty-four seats, but a gain of twenty- seats by the anti-republican fore would be sufficient to control the House should they be able to effect a union ot their strength. Taking into consideration the feeling at present existing between the political opponents of the republicans, it does not seem lke an agrecment of this nature could ‘be reached, for the populists are sure to insist in the future, as they have in the past, that the tail sha!l wag the dog. Therefore if the populists hold the balance of power in the next House they may stubbornly demand nearly all of the cake and a good part of the bakery, A study of the congressional field dis- cleses that it is quite possible for the pop- ulists to hold the balance of power in the next House, but without a “tidal wave” the democrats can hardly gain fifty-four votes, the number required to control House. While the democrats will congressmen in New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and . will lose in some of the far western stat which they carried solid in 1896. While the election of 1896 resulted in a republi- can victory and the present Congress was chosen on a high tide, yet it should not be forgotten that in a number of the far western states the republicans w: wept off their feet as completely as were the democrats in their eastern and southern strongho!ds. In ‘96 silver democrats and silver republicans in the far western states wiped out large republican majorities ant Sent twenty-seven representative: gress, while in the east, middle states and the south the republicans and gold demo- crats captured a number of districts nere- tofore democratic and sent republican rep- resentatives to Washington. In the Fifty-fourth Congress Mr. Reed was elected Speaker over Mr. Crisp by 146 majority. This majority was obtained in the election of 1894. AS will be seen, the de:nocrats gained thirty seats in the next or present House, but, as stated, all ot this gain came from the far west. Where Depiodrats Expect Gains, It is safe to“coritede that the democrats in the coming election wit largely increase their gain in the states where they maue heavy losses fh "86. ‘The conditions from then to now areamuch changed and in their favor. In the 1894 election the party ma- chinery of a niimbst of large cities, includ- ing New York,’Brobklyn, Chicago and Cine cinnati, not forgetting Louisville, was in the hands of thé fepublicans. Now these cities, with many thers, are controlled by democrats. New,.Yptk city and Brooklyn alone sent nine republicans to Congress two Years ago. It fS ‘redsonable to Suppose that the democrats wil redeem at ieast six of these distriets.t 2 - zi Of the se ‘en members of the House from Chicago there Y§"not a democrat. ard the democratic panty tgaders there claim that this year they Swill elect three, if not four. The information from th of the state is that the cemocrats will ga g seats. The Hlinols delegation in Ges now stands cighteen republicans to four democrats. The next will likely stand twelve republicans to ten democrats. ‘The present Indiana delegation stands nine republicans to four democrats. The democrats have a good chance tu gain two, if not three, seats. They shoulda. rede: the first. fifth and ninth districts, and it now looks like they would. The Ohio delegation stands publicans to six democrats. cens expect to lose four reason of factional tights in the party and disappointment of otfice- The dem- ocrats claim that in the next House they wilt have eieven votes from Ohio te ten for the republicans, or a gain of five, Out of the twenty-e! < in Penn- sylvania, three only are represented by democrats. The Quay-Martin-Wanamaker feud in that siate will help the democrats this year to at least a few more c men. They will probably increas representation from three to eight. No cemccratic gain be looked for from New England nor New Jersey, though the democrats of Jersey City may squeeze through a congressm: The Delaware cemocrat will tain his seat. In the south democratic gains are justly expected. In Alabama the democrats should surely carry the fourth district, now held hy Al- Grich, republican,seated cn a contest against Plowman, democrat. The latter was elect- eG, but the republicans went pehind the re- turrs. They should also carry the seventh Gistrict, now represented by Howard, pop- vlist.

The: fifteen re- The repubii- seats here by likely re- return its six democratic gain two, will elect Gilbert in the eighth and Williams in the ninth, and may slip Oscar Turner through in the fifth. The only sure district for the republicans in Kentucky ts the eleventh. If the next House should be close, it is not at all unlikely that the democrats elected from Kentucky will lose their seats on ac- count of the new election law. It is known here that Evans fully expects to be seated in the next House if the republicans crgan- ize it. whether he is elected or not. Louisiana and Mississippi will each re- peat a solid democratic delegation. There ‘s rather a pretty fight on in Mary- land. which is now represented by a solid republican delegation. The democrats there have mostly flopped together, and are making strong efforts to carry two or three of the districts. The probabilities are now that they will carey two out of the six districts. No change is expected in the Missouri eelegation, which now stands twelve dem- ocrats to three republicans. The latter are from St. Louis.) & The indications point to another badly split-up electinnsin North Carolina. There are rine districts inithat state, and an old tar-heel statesman xays he rather expects to see three republicans, three democrats and three populists elected. There is only cne democrat im Céngress now from that state. Scuth Carolina can se Jepended upon to send a solid demoeratic delegation. It has seven menibers.; No change is Mkely in Tennessee. The Jonesboro and the Knoxville districts, the first and second, wil] no doubt go republi- can as usual, and the eight remaining dis- tricts democratic. + In the thirtcen, Texas districts there was only one republicay elected in '96—R. B. Hawley of the tenth or Galveston district, a good business man of high character and pleasint personality. He was elected by 2,200 plurality over Shelburne, democrat but Noah Allen, a populist, received 5,478 votes. The democrats expect to defeat Mr. Hawley this year, and .t will not be sur- prising if they should. There are two repubiiccns in the present House from Virginia—Walker in the ninth and Yost In the tenth. The democrats ex- pect to gain the seat now held by Yost, as his plurality two years ago was only 147, Senator Hikins returned from a trip in West Virginia Saturday and claims that the four congressional districts of that state will again republicans. The out- look is, however, the defeat of Con- Rressman ton by John T. McGraw. in the neeond and of Congresaman Miller in the fourth, The latter is the district long rep- resented by Mr, Capehart, and even in the republican tidal wave the candidate Jost it by only a narrow margin.

West Virginia . erotalise ses It is believed that the democrats tain losses in the extreme west, but what extent Is mere conjecture, dat this time there is not sufficient information in the possession of apy one to form a reliable opinion. The populists are claiming that they will increase their strength in the House, but the political conditions existing do not jus- tify these claims. In fact, they will do well to elect eighteen members, which will be _a loss of ten. From the above it will be seen that the chances are against the democrats captur- ing the next House, barring a tidal wave, which might give it to them by a hundred majority. Such things have happened be- fore and will happen again. It may be that the people are disgusted with the incom- petency of the McKinley administration and will resent, in many cases, inhuman treatment of sick soldiers by casting th votes against the republican party candi- dat If such should be the case the democrats would win in a walk. It should be remembered that only once in a quarter of a century has the party administration in power retained control of the House at the “offeyear” elections following the presidential election. This single instance was in 1886, two years after Cleveland’s first election. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and Cleveland (second term) each lost the House. This fact of itself gives encouragement to the demo- crats. They say that the party in power always loses the House because of the dis- appointment of office-seekers. shee, seh TEAMSTER DRUMM WANTED.
