you are affected with Cattarrh, and which, if rot

No argument will save you; no matter what

no matter what your neighbor's experience may

4 s.iorious Republican victory

SAN FnASclsco, Srrr I California
has gone Republican by from three to
FIVE thousand majority. The result in
San Francisco is in doubt as to the Mayor,
but the prospect now is strong that Al
word, the candidate Of the taxpayers is
elected.
LATER. Tho Republicans ofSan Frau
cisco are certain Of electing q Senator to
succeed Mr. Colo. w. Couglan (Rcp,)
is elected to Congress in the 3D. District.
and Sargent Rep in the I'd District.
The Republicans have an even chance Of
gaining tho LIST. District Tue whole
Legislative and Municipal Republican
and Taxpayers ticket is elected in San
Francisco with the exception Of the Re-
order and one Supervisor. The Republic
can majority in the State is about four
thousand.
The victory in California il splendid
and significant. Four years ago Gov.
Haight was elected by about 5000 major
ity, and two years ago two Democratic
judges were chosen by about the same
average majority. Now there is Re-
publican majority for Governor of be-
tween three and FIVE thousand. Such q
change cannot but be regarded as of the
most suspicious character at the present
time, especially seeing that it follows a
long and animated campaign, in which
the issues of the day were ably and fully
presented to the people. Neither the
"new departure" nor the personal popu'
larity Of Gov. Haight could save the De-
mocracy. The party is seen through
and its record is too bad to allow any
credit to be given to its promises.

WHAT GIRLS SHOULD DRINK.-Dr.
Dio Lewis, in his book, Our girls, -
says:
am astonished that young wo-
man who is ambitious of a clear, fine
skin should drink tea. 1t is a great
enemy to fair complexion. Wine,
coffee. may be used without tinging
the skin; but as soon as tea-drinking
becomes regular habit the eye of
the discriminating observer detects
it in the skin. Tea compromises the
complexion. probably by deranging
the liver. Weak tea or coffee may
be used occasionally. in moderate
quantities. without noticeable harm !;
but | advise all young women who
would preserve a soft. clear skin and
quiet nerves, to avoid all drinks but
cold water. 1t is an excellent plan
to drink one or two glasses of cold
water on lying down at night, and
on rising in the morning. If you
have good teeth, and can help the
food into Your stomach without
using any fluid except the saliva, it
will in the long run, contribute
much to your health.

refers to his determination, never de-
parted from to accept no presents,
and recalls the fact that when shares

1t will be observed that in this

where. A memorable instance since

an estate in Hampshire was pur
chased at a cost Of t263 900, and
presented to him aS a gift from the
nation. Washington, from the be

In his speech accepting from Con-

The Secret of Bu-Klux,
From the Washinntnn Patriot !

I lrloih ihe w HasAlhssLoh tatrlot.I
We have been at some pains, by ex-
animation of the records and by COM
parative analysis of the Testimony" so
liberally furnished us by q humane and
generous Congress- to probe into the mys-
terry of ku-Klux, and drag forth the Sc
cret of this agitation into the light of day.
OF course, it was easily understood that
the prime source of the business has been
the natural desire of Radicalism to bolster
up its waning fortunes, and the equally
comprehenslblee eagerness Of Radical Com
gressmen to contribute prosperity to the
cause by which themselves must prosper.
Bnt the riddle we set ourselves to solve
was the zeal of the carpet baggers and
scallawags themselves to furnish levi
dences" of state of things which con-
fessedly does not exist, and which, if it
did exist, would be most injurious to the
prosperity Of their own immediate peo-
pie. Why should the citizeus or pseudo
citizens of a community make haste to
tell lies such as would prevent immi-
grafton into country suffering most
severely from a dearth of good labor,
and a superabundance of cheap, uncul-
tivated land! Why should they pursue
4 policy that would prevent the wider
distribution Of taxes, and therefore their
reduction ? And the moment we put the
Question to ourselves in this shape, the
answer suggested itself naturally, and as
q matter of course.
The people who are engaged in fos-
tecing the Ku-klux fables are not people
who are interested in the prosperity of
the Southern country, but who make
their profit entirely out of its adversity
They have ''no staken there. They are
not citizens, except for temporary ends,
as men and women become citizens Of
Indiana in order to facilitate purposes
Of divorce. They are not land owners,
but haye their feet set firmly upon the
necks OF landowners. They are not
laborers, but men who are graphing all
labor by the throat to- strangle forever.
They do not pay taxes, but receire them.
Hence, they need anarchy, for that per-
petuates the ignorance OF the class which
keeps them in power while they p1under
it. Hence, in like manner, they seek to
discourage. immigration, particularly
from their own classes and regions of
tie North, for that would compel them
10 divide their plumber. They have what
is vulg.ray styled o 'sbig thing oft, aud
tlisy have no notion of going shares
with any body. They are like g4,id dig
g6rs, who have made great 'sfntl," aud
want To work their placer unaided. They
are nke those pirates who. always quar-
relied and tried to cut one another's
thnaats after capturing q rich prize
every man less to share with making the
portieus Of the survivors larger. Hence,
the Ku-klux, which means political ma
ehinery in Congress, means greater plum
der with scaliaWags and carpet baggers.
Hence, the unanimous patronage these
t.sutrages' have received at the hands
Of all that enterprising elass.
