LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Mercury Correspondence:
CongreBB has at last secured a
quorum and the tariff mill set
to grinding, and is to be kept run-
ing for about two weeks, when a
vote is to be taken.
Mr. Johnson, of Ohio,.advocates
striking lariff legislation from
the national statutes, selling the
t ustom houses and revenue cutters,
and turning the mone} into the
national treasury. This would be
bout as good a plan as could be
dopted, as there is no very flatter-
ng prospects of tariff reform, or
any other sort of reform having
an origin in this congress.
Jorry Simpson furnished some
amusement for the house on the
12th, by producing a coat he had
purchased from an old farmer on
the street, as an illustration of the
sort of shoddy used in manufactur-
ing ten dollar suits under the Mc-
Kinley law.
The question of the appointment
of post-masters for Dallas, Ft.
Worth, Denison and San Antonio
is to be settled this week, accord-
ing to reports. If Mr. Cleveland
can find persons to fill these sever-
al offices whom the people do not
want he will doubtless appoint
them. Grover thinks it is one of
the pre requisites. of statemanship
to be bull-headed.
The Hornblower nomination has
been held up by the senate, but as
prominent New York republicans
desire the confirmation made, it
received the urgent demandB of
Cleveland, and his
may be brought to
consúmate it. This
cratic administration
on republican principles.
The senate has refused to con-
firm the appointment of Scott Har-
rison, brother of Ex-Presi dent Har-
rison, as surveyor of customs at
Kansas Oity. This appointment
was made to get even with Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison on his Hawaiian
policy. Scott was shown to be a
democrat for revenue, but he is
doubtless a better and more con-
sistent democrat than Gresham or
McVeagh. In fact it was doubt-
less his republican tendencies that
caused Grover to tender him the
appointment.
The silver men have induced
the coinage committee to consider
the proposition to authorize the
secretarv of the treasury to coin
the silver seignorage in the treas-
ury. This is a long distance from
the passage of such a law. If it
takes two months to get a,commit-
tee to consent to consider a meas-
ure tending to furnish relief to the
country, the problem is, how long
will it take congress to pass the
law, and then how much longer
will it be beiora Cleveland signs
it? There is not much encourage-
ment in this vogue prospect. The
seignorage need not become alarm-
ed about meeting the crucible at
an early date. This talk about
coining silver is all bash any way.
It amounts to scraps thrown out to
keep the wolves from getting so
close to the administration cutter
as to ann->y the occupants with
their howling. The wolves need
not stop hcwling on account of this
silver coinage-talk. It doesn't
mean anything.
The president sent in a message
counter
front to
is a demo-
administered
to congress Saturday, relative to
Hawaii. It contains the instruc-
tions to Minister Willis, and Wil-
lis' interview with Queen Lill. If
it contained nothing but the talk
of the American minister with
Lilly it would still be a valuable
state paper. Grover must be
ashamed of his foreign policy as
relates to this matter, as it is so
disgusting and so beneath the dig-
nity of a great country, that it
makes every citizen of the country
kick himself as the only Cleveland
proxy at hand. It is safe to drop
this insignificant matter now, as
the provisional government in Ha-
waii will stand until the country is
annexed to the United States,
which will be the ultimate result.
Secretary Carlisle has decided
that he has the right to issue bonds
without any law on the subject,
and will doubtless do so before
another month of congression-
al slobbering passes. If he
should take such a bold step he
should be charged and tried for
high crimes and misdemeanors.
The next congress, as it will be
populist, will very likely wake
up things when it convenes.
The tariff debate will be con-
tinued this week by short talks,
and amendments. It will doubt-
less pass in some shape and will
have the same effect on producing
prosperity that the repeal of the
purchasing .clause of the Sherman
law had.

Danberry, Conn., has nineteen
hat factoties which have recently
closed for the winter, thereby 4,000
men and women are thrown out of
work. The manufacturers do not
hesitate to say that they have
adopted this method with the
hopes of downing or destroying
the trade unions. There are two
leBsons to|be learned from this in-
stance, one is that the strength of
labor organizations are becoming
too powerful to suit the money
power; and the other reason is
clearly manifested that capital is
determined to crush out all liberty
and independence from the labor-
ing classes. It is money against
numbers, and if the many would
WONDERS OF THE POWER OF MAGNETISM.
STARTLING REVELATIONS OF OCCOLT SCIENCE.
As the Magnet Attracts the Steel, So Does Dr.
Temple Draw the Multitudes.
Thunders of Applause Greet His Marvelous
Demonstrations at Dallas Opera
House Last Night,
THE BOY PHENOMENON.

A
An immense audience greeted Dr. P. S. Temple, the great magnetic healer
last night at the Dallas opera house, in his second demonstration of healing
the sick by "animal magnetism" before a Dallas audience.
Some came to be cured of various diseases, and others to witness his mar-
velous power of healing the sick, and to see a most remarkable exhibition.
It seemed that his wonderful fame had surely preceded him, as long before
the time for opening a great number ot all classes of people, those in perfect
health, as well as the sick, crippled and rheumatic, were clamoring for admis-
sion, having come from all parts of the city and state, the merchant, the mil-
lionaire and the artisan, on foot and in carriages—all were seen hurrying
toward this great Mecca of health.
When the doors were thrown open, in less lhan fifteen minutes every seat
was taken, the galleries jammed, scores were standing in the aisles and lobbies,
while hundreds turned homeward unable to even gain admission.
The wisest, best educated and most enlightened people are daily becoming
converts to these new principles and methods, which are supported by such
overwhelming evidences sustained by public and private demonstrations of the
most remarkable character; proofs which no reasoning mind can dispute; real-
ities which echo and re-echo in the human mind, as tney witness the grandest
and most sublime panorama of living truths ever presented in the history of
man.
Dr. Temple not only treats the blind, lame and crippled, but all diseases.
Such as are given below, quickly yield to this strange power: Catarrh, incip-
ient consumption, chronic bronchitis, chronic diarrhoea, neuralgia, nervous
prostration, diabetes, Bright's disease, epilepsy or fits, tumors, in all condi-
tions, diseases of a delicate nature, diseased bone, hip disease, deafness, heart
disease, bladder disorders, hemorrhoids, or piles, chronic rheumatism, obsti-
nate constipation, diseases of women, cataract of eyes, cancer, sciatica, paraly-
sis, fistula, asthma, liver complaint, kidney troubles, scrofula, gravel, throat
disorders, impotency, and in fact all diseases yield to animal magnetism in the
hands of this physician.
All those who are able and willing to pay for treatment may come to his
private parlors, Nos. 100, 102 and 103 Grand Windsor hotel, every day from 11
m. to 5 p. m.
All examinations are made without questions, and every ache and pain de-
scribed far better than the patients can themselves.
In answer to the hundreds of letters from all parts of the state, we are re-
quested to state that Dr. Temple will visit the following places and give a dem-
onstration of his power to heal the sick
