5 I — . THE OMAHA DALy BEE THROUGH ANOTHER CHANNEL Opposition to the Pure Food Eill from an Unexpected Quar PATENT MEDICINE FIRMS INTERESTED Appenling to News- Assist in the Defea Measure—How it Is Belug Manipulated. Advertising Houses WasmxaroN Buneav or e Br } 513 FounteeNTn STREET, Wasnisaron, D, C., April 24 Opposition 1n an entirely and unexpected form has just developed against the Paddock pure food bitl. It comes through ono of the oldest and largest aavertising firms in New York in tho form of a circular addressed to nowspaper publishers throughout the coun- try. 1t is represented that the cnactmept of tho proposed pure food law will cut oft Trom the publishers almost all of tneir patent meaicine advertisements. 1t is claimed that under this law all patent medicines which 1s shipped from ono state to auother would b3 subjocted toa conscript which would ren- der their manufacture and sale unprofitable and therefore they would not be advertised through newspapers, . Senator Paddock says that there is n great deal of unnecessary and unfounded appre- hension s to the effects of the pure food measures upon drugs and medicine. Ho says that no articlo wouid be subjected to analysis or its sale restrictea unless 1t was shown to the satisfuction of the Depurtment of Agri- culture that it was sold under false repre- sentation aud contained articlos deleterious to heaith, There is a clause in tho bill whicli provides very distinctly that the for- mula of any m jo or preparation shall not become public or be conveved to any per- £on other than the expert chemist in the De- partment of Agriculture until tho manufac- turer has heen convicted of violation of the lnw and the article hus been condemued as fraudulent and unhealthy. Senator Honr's Visit to Europe. The absence of Senatar Hear from Wash- ington during the next ten months on & visit to Burope, whither he goes for the treatent of his eyes, will create a vacuum in tho upper branch of congress whicn will bo felt 1n every procedure of that boay. Senator Hoar 18 chairmun of the importunt committeo on judicrary, before which body will come the anti-cption and other 1mportant measures during this session, and a member of ihe committees on privileges and eloctions, re- Jations with Canada and woman suffrage, Mr. Wilson of Towa will be chairman of judiciary in tho absence of the senator from Massachusetts. _Senator Hogr has for many months been sufforing with an acate disoase of iris, which kept hiim in his room for nearly two months during the fight over the con firmation of United States Circuit Judgo Waods of Indiana. It is stated that tho discaso is directly due to sharp light which strikes tho eyes through tho highly colored tiling which forms the ceiling of the sonato chamber. Tho tiling 1s cut up into rectangles of about thre by four feet, in the conter of which in high colors are the cresis of tho various states. On a brigut day the light which is shea through theso tilings is pain- fully sharp aud contracts and_expands tho pupil and therofore directly affects the fris whenever pemitted to shine unisterruptedly. Senator Hocr is about 68 yoars of age, but is one of the most active men in congress, al- ways taking an_important part in judicial affairs and political legislation, For somo time ho has not been permitted by his physi- cians 1o vead or write tc any great oxtent. Mrs. Morton, the wife of tho vico presi- ent, is also suffering from an_affection of tho éyes and is now in New York for the purpose of having an operation periormed upon them. More Misslons to Fill. According to cablegrams two of our first class missions will not only soon be vacant s to the active secvice of the ministers, but in fuct, Charles Emory Smith, the Philadel- phia editor, is to soon be at his old desic and place his resignation in the hands of the resident, The resignation of Whitelaw Reid. the well-knowi New York editor, has already been received. Theve is consider- ablo speculation just now as to whether the resignutions from the Russian and French ssions will bo uccepted by the president beforo the November elections. It is be- lieved by somo politicians that they may ve- main vacant for six months with tho chargo ¢’ affaires acting mimsters, It is known that both Mr. Reid and Mr. Smith have for s0mo timo peen auxious o resume editorial control of their graat newsnapers vending the campaign and it is intimated that should theiv resignations not be uccepted: till the elections are past, they may return' to their posts of officiul duty in which each has di tinguished himself in diplomutic sod com- merciul negotintions, In the Political Swim, Tho work of congress afrer tho second week in May will tot amount to very much if nterest iu the approaching cumpaigns for the presidential nominations continues to in- crease. The leading men of the two Louses will go to tho politicul centers of tho country and Minneapolis una Chicago in particular and drop whatover they have in view hore, More Interest is being taken in tho outlook hore now than thero was four years ago, despite the well known fact thatit is con- ceded on all hands that the twotickets will be beaded us they werein the last great struggle, If any one has come to the conclusion that the fights aro to Lo waged solely upon na- tional issues he would have his mind dis- avused of thut idea by remaining bere a few days, The personnl” interests aro intense. Personel feeling 1s begloning to run high: not for or against any candidates espacially, but in the success of parties, There will bo no lack of interest from an individual stand- point, ‘Cho scnators are, many of them looking out for thoir own re-election, othex for ho wellfare of their friends, while all the represoutatives of course como up for ro-election this fall, and many of them have very close cistricts, Hostilo to the National Banking Syste Au evidence of the hostility of the present house of representatives towirds the present system of natioual bankiog is found in the treatment which is betng accorded a bill re- ceutly sent over to tha house by tho senate, The bill is the oue which was originally vassed by the house, providing that the ofticers of national banks shall unot bo per- witted 10 borrow money of the institutions in which they are employed, except upon the consent of the full airectovy, Itis a notori- ous fact that a large per cent of fallures of uational banks is due to the fact that the cashiers, tellers, bookkeepers and clerks bor- row large sums of money from the bank with- out the knowledge of the tors, and with- out giving good securit; 'hey ave in pos- session of the machinery of the bank and cover up their irregularities till it is 100 late, The senate passed this very meritorious measure, but added an amendment provid- ing thut banks may take out circulation to tho full par valuo of the bonds deposited with the treasurer to secure circulution. The liouse committee on banking and currency refuses to concur in the amendment, and the bill will fail of passage. It 1s contended that there 1s no longer any justico in refus- ing to issue circulation to the full par value of bonds deposited, since the bonds are uot only ahvays at par, but @ premium, aud therefore the 10 per cent beld back to secure the goverument against fluctuation is not necessary. But there is such asirong pre- Luuluenxulnst the banking business in the ouse that the ouly legisiation that could be Rotten through on the subject would be that which was to the very apparent dissdvantage of the tem. ‘There 1s not the leas. doubt 10 the minds of some republican members of the nouse committee on banking and cur- rency that a bill could be passed in the house now 10 abolish the uational banking systen end return 1o the old state system, which ‘was 80 ruinous, The {)re)mllm grews out of the fact that national bunks 1ssue circulation; and yet the same house refuses Lo puss & bill reducing AR. the required circulation for each national bank to the nominui figure of £1,000 each, bedausc 1t {s known that a majority of the banks would issue tho minimum of circula- tion, as they do now, knowing that eircula tion' is unprofitable in the long run, while bonds aro so high and fluctuating, and if the banks would reduco their circulation it ild contract tho circulation of the coun- try, make money lass plentiful and tho legis- Intors resvonsible would have to stand the consequences. Tho majority of the present house upon this as many other questions are between bis satanic majesty and the deep sea, Miscellaneous.

C., April 2. —In contrast with tho lively scenes of last week, the pro- ceedings of both branches of congress during tho present week promise tolack public interest. The managers of the house, in pursuance of their program of pushing the regular appropriation bilis through 1 order to secure opportunity fer the further consid- eration of the tarifl bills und hasten tho ap- proach of final adjournment, have decided to devote the eatire week to the consideration of those measures, Immeaia ely after disposing of some Dis- trict of Columbia business tomorrow the dip- low atic and consular appropriution bill will bo cailed up by Blount, This measuro has already been soverely criticized because of radical chanzes made in- existing laws, and it will doubtless be tho subject of further altuck upon the floor.

Tho first groat moving causo is misery now. Seid Dr. Stoecker to me: *Can we ex- pect workmen to be attached to aland in which they suffer, in which, to borrow the words of Charles Lamb, their homes are no homes. The chief of all the German work- ingman’s grievances is the wrotchedness of his home life. That it is wretcned is duo to the fast that, thanks to the dishonest greod of speculators, the prico of land in great cities has been proposterously swollen, with tho usual results of high rents, cramped lodgings and general discomfort.” Prof. Wagner's Deductions, Herr von Berlepsch, miuister of commerce, has not missed oue of the meetings of the congress. e has listened to a good doal of nonsense since it opened, but he has also hoard much sense, notably from Prof. Wag- ner, one of the most distinguished German scientists. In his interesting specches at the congress Wagner laid stress on two points: First, that the program adopted by the so- clalist democrats at Erfurt was a consecra- tion of the theories ot Carl Mart. Next, ho argued that the social question was abovo all questions of morality and immorality. From this assumption he deduced the conclusion that socialism should be studied whero necessary—e. g, when it is most strenu- ously combated by statesmen, by society, by the bourgeoise and by church intervention, The church, whether Catholic or Protest: ant, has always been regargied with disfavor n Prussia, to quote Stoecker again: “The state, jealous of the prerogatives of an aris tocracy like the bourgeoise, has cut itself loose from religion, and set a bad examplo to the people. Whatever the scientists assert is swallowed as gospel truth, but what the gospol says is disregarded.” Tho death of tho dowager duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has thrown a gloom over the court and interrupted the emperor’s pleasure excursions.

Tho stockmen ob- jocted stronuously to his prosence, Billy Irvine and Major Wolcott made . vigorous kick, and a delegation was selected to. wait upon Major Egbert. “He must not eo,” said Billy Irvine om- phatically, “for if he doos we will bo put to the trouble of throwing him off the tram.’” The delegation returned at this stage and reported thut Major Fetchet had promised Roles transportation to Cheyenne and Major Kgoert felt bound to make this promise good.
