There are many remedies to relleve, but very few that really cure. The old practice of snuffing salt water through the nose would cften relieve, and the washes, douches, powders and Inbalers in common use are very little, if any, better than the old foned salt water douche. The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasotable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much & blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and it can not be cured by local treatment any more (han they can be.

The democrats foresd a roll call on every | proposition and compelied the reading in extenso of everything presented. Every parliamentary expedient was seized to de- lay matters, and at the end of a session of over nine hours the house, completely worn out, at $:06 tonight took a recess until noon tomorrow. There was no-sign of the democrats abating their opposi- tion The reading clerks tonight were ex- hausted by the day's strain of trylng to make themselves heard above the cease- less din and confusion on the floor. There were fifteen roll calls and two calls of the house. The feature of the day was the parsage of the semate omnibus public bullding bill, with house amendments, which Increased the total carried by the bill to over $6,000,000. The leaders who opposed the bill did not attempt to de- feat It and it was passed, 205-26, under sus- pension of the rules. Mr. Mann took occasion during the de- bate to charge ‘“collusion” between the chitect and the contractor of the Chi- cago public bulldings. Mr. Gaines, during the discussion of a conference report, bitterly arraigned the authorities for selling the “sacred relics™ of the White House, including, he said, a sideboard which had been presented to Mrs. Hayes by the Women's Christian Temper- ance union, and which he declared was now reposing in a Washington brewery. Mr. Grosvenor denied these charges, say- ing that nothing but ‘“second-hand fur- niture” had been sold. The net result of the day's session was the sending to conference of the naval and fortification appropriation bills, the adaption of the conference reports on the rallroad safety appliance bill and the mil- ttary academy appropriation bill, the post- office, the omnibus public building bill and the bill to settle the accounts of of- ficers during the Spanish war period and the adoption of the senate amendments to two other comparatively unimportant measures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The house tonight passed the omnibus public bullding bill as reported to it by the committee on public bulldings. ‘The bill passed by the house differs chiefly from the bill passed by the senate Monday in that it provides appropriations for the purchase of sites for public buildings in various cities of the United States. The bill will now go to conference and the prob- abilities are that the conferees will agree upon every increase made by the house. The house Dbill appropri $10,000 for sites at York and Grand Island, Neb.
