Gravel and Stone.

By this we understand collection ol
sand like substance having been lodged in
The passage of the urine. When the sys-
TEN is in a healthy state, this substance is
carried off by the natural passage of the
body; but when there is a weakness OF any
organ, especially the kidneys, they become
inca paLe of expell:ng such sandy concre-
tions, and consequently they are lodged in
the kidneys, urelha, or the bladder, causing
great Inflammation to those organs and
great pains and swelling and great difficulty
in vo ding urine. 1t has been admitted by
many physicians, that Morse's Indian Root
Pills are made out Of some particular plants
which have a wonderful char ming influence
in dissolving the substance which has
clogged the passage, and by their cooling
properties, they expel al Inflammation, and
leave the water passage in an active and
healthy state. From three 10 four of these
Pills night and morning, from one to two
weeks, will decide how this dreadful disease
is to be treated, and as they remove the
cause of every kind of diseese, it is utterly
imposs bic for them to fail in curing the
gravel, as they unclog the passage, and
leave the parts in a healthy and lively con-
diton
DR. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by
all dealers in Medicines.

CJNews from Decotah Territory state
that the Yankten Indians three thousand
strong, are engaged in fearful depreda:ions
ag ainst the white settlers along the Mime
sofa river. The cause of the difficulties is
the non-payment of the snnuities BY Gov
ernment. They have destroyed two. villages,
Medary and FandraB, and plundered an
emigrsnt train. They declare their inten-
tion to recover their lands and drive the
whites from their old hunting grounds
Our Government have not been as faithful
to the safety of the whites on the frontier,
as it should, nor have they been as true to
faithwith the Indians. Money will be squand-
cred without limit upon party favorites, and
to further party ends; but the lives of the
brave pioneers Of the West are Of little
consequences to the political parasites Of
Washington. The former falls before the
toma awk of the savage, whiIe the latter
revels in wealth and ease careless of the
fate OF him who feeds him.

EDITOR OF CHRONICLE: I listened, on!
Sunday the Lsh to sermon, with which, in
the main, was pleased. can agree with.
the preacher that Christianity, with our de
generate race, and in our country, and to
our republican government, is necessity.
Without the moral Influences of vital
Christianity, be ieve, that our political
experiment Will fail. But think the
preacher, in one respect, was in error, and I
fear his is very prevalent error. He la
bored to impress his audience with sense
of the duty Of laboring to build up the
Church, and to disseminate religious truth,
and cherish, and excite religious feeling
This was all right. But he spoke, in no
respectful terms, but quite the reverse, Of
politicians.
/ think it the duty of every citizen of the
United States to be politician. To be
familiar with the political history of his
felt in the selection of candidates for Of
ice, and in the elections. The selection Of
candidates should not be left, as many sup.
pose it is, to men who desire office. We
do not duly consider our responsibility as
voters. We should not only vote, at all
elections, but we should be prepared to vote
intelligently, good Christian will be a
good subject. If he does not study politics,
he cannot be good voter. This indiffer
ence of Otherwise good men to politics, is
that from which we have most to fear. At
no time, under no circumstances, should the
voter allow himself to become Indifferent to
political questions. Our Constitution has
devolved upon him duty, to cast his vote
on one side, or the other of the great po-
litical questions of the day. Let him pre-
pare himself to vote intelligertly. If all
good men are to retire from politics, what
will become of our country, and our race.
Is there W ickedness in high places' This
is proof that good men have neglected their
duty as voters. The prodigality, the idle
ness, the effeminacy, the violence, assaults,
and murders which occur among our public
men can be checked by voters. and by none
else. They are the political sovereigns.-
Let them be always at the post Of duty
voting and bearing testimony on the right
side. If they do not, and evil come upon
the country, let them take the blame, for to
them it belongs. C.

From the New York Evening Post.
The Result of Mr.. Buchanan First
Two Years in Office.

BY !, oking over the deficiency bills losses
and some other matter, the Unlon pretends
to have cipherec down the appropriation
bills to S65 900 900 or thereabouts, and
takes great credit to the administration for
its moderation.
The Union does not count the $4,000.
600 appropriated IN the form of deficiency
bill, and the 6,l96,oo0 acres of public lane
granted during the fiscal year for railroad
purposes, and worth rot a cent less than
than 100000 more. These sums make
the appropriations amount to Ss5, 900 900
on the Unions own showing. The expendi.
lures of the government in 1928 were &c..
7s4,l64 So If these were permitted to in.
crease in the same ratio as population, (and
they certainly ought not to increase with
any greater rapdity,) they NOW ought moi
to exceed S2s,O0O,O 600, whereas, on the
Uxion's own admission, they are consider.
ably more than double that amount, and the
administration of 1923 was by no means re-
markable for its economy.
But were the figuring of the Union cor.
rect, and the appropriations but half ol
what they actually are, it would reflect NO
credit upon the Administration, for the
largest sum which has been named as the
aggregate Of appropriations ia lis consider.
ably short of the specific estimates of the
executive departments, without reference
to the leading recomme ndation of the Pre-.
sident, which would have added many mil.
lions to the amount. Let us take few il.
lustrations:
For custom houses. Notifications and the
extention of the Capitol, the appropriations
are reduced below the Executive estimate.
and recommendations, upwards OF million
of dollars.
For the Navy, Congress granted only
seven of the ten sloops of war called for by
the Secretary OF the Navy, and refused al.
together the fifty gun boats for which the
Unien writing in behalf of the President.
Swiss Guard OF contractors and iobbers
so pertinacious.
The increase Of the army was the Pre-.
sident's favorite scheme, and in that he
failed altogether. His FIVE regiments, which
would have constituted permanent charge
upon the country of between seven and
eight millions OF dollars, were killed ou.righ,
and the three regiments of volunteers have
been quietly abandoned.
Thus it will b seen, tbat had Congress
yielded to the wishes of the Administra.
ton, the appropriations would have exceed.
ed $4,000 900. To meet these expendi-
lures. forty millions of debt have been con-
tracted or authorized, and if We may rely
upon the estimates of Mr.. Howard, of the
committee on Ways and Means. authority
for zen millions more will be needed before
the first day of next February.
The financial result of two wears of Mr..
Buchanan's Administration will therefore
be the using up of a surplus of twenty four
millions of dollars, and the creation OF .
debt of fifty millions.
The Union may think this is creditable
showing for the Presidents first Two years
in office; but in this section OF the country,
even with the notorious profigacy of the
thieves IN the Common Council of 1852
