separating the sheep from the goats is to be

Hon. N. G. Hichborn, of Stockton, has pub
lished pamphlet which presents arguments
in favor of wooden ships, and urges upon
Congress the duty of affording relief to ship
builders. He examines the reasons assigned
for the superiority Of iron vessels over wood
en- ones and pronounces them unsound and
incorrect. He says that "to day, good wood
ship commands as good rates in any market
of the world and for any kind of business as
the IRON" While he admits that steam is
supplanting sails in some kinds of business,
he holds that the great bulk of commerce
must be carried on by sail. His plan of re-
lief by Congress is to allow "the builder of
any ship, vessel or steamer drawbac equal
to the duty paid upon all the articles entering
into the construction of such ship, vessel, or
steamer, and all provisions and supplies ne
cessary for repairs to be taken out of bond
under the same regulation" Mr.. Hichborn's
views are those of practical shipbuilder and
are worthy of ca add consideration.

LIE MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.

The Liberal Republicans" in Missouri
have as much rs they can do to hold their
organization in their own State. The re-
publicans are dropping away from the
leaders of the movement, as they see the
scheme laid open by which the party is to
be transferred to the democracy. They
We're led by local issues into the '.liberal'
movement, but have no idea of allowing
those considerations to control their votes
in the national election. The following
article from the st. Louis Democrat, a
leading republican journal, explains the
situation.
Certain well meaning Republican Journals
in other States would do themselves and their
readers kindness by endeavoring to get
something like correct idea of Missouri
politics. by a little attention they would be-
come satisfied Of certain facts important to be
understood and stated, instead of contributing
to cheap delusion which does the grossest
injustice to scores Of thousands of as earnest
Republicans Is there are in the country. The
fact that two years ago the Republicans of
this State were in two factions, one known as
lAoerai Republicans" gives no warrant for
I Al
tne assumption that the division now exists.
mat Division was exclusively local and
temporary affair, and has been repeatedly and
emphaticaily recognized as such by the Re-
psolicsn masses. The lines have been every
where wiped out, most conspcuously in St.
Louis county, where the "liberal" wing was
by far stronger than in any other county in
the State This was here done by the Re.
publican masses themselves, despite selfish
effort of few forlorn would-be leaders 10

leaders themselves openly abandoned their
futile effort and came into the common Re,
publican camp. OF coarse they came with
mental reservation. ready for any future

tics, and thus extending it or creating one in
other States, was too brilliant TO be readily
abandoned. Yet nothing in this State is more
notorious than that the bolt of 20 would have

pudiated national character. The charge
that liberals most earnestly resented was that

POISONED TO DEATH.-A healthy liver Sc
crets each day about two and half pounds of
bile, which contains a great amount of waste
material taken from the blood. When the liv-
er becomes torpid or congested, it fails to elm
mate this vast amount Of noxious substance,
which, therefore, remains to poison the blood
and be conveyed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the blood when
it is receiving and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to
work off this poison through other channels
and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc ;
but these organs become oveItaxed in per-
forming this labor, in addition to their natur.
al functions, and can not long Withstand the
pressure, but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes toeit from
the heart, and it fails to perform its office
BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dullness, headache, in.
capacity to keep the mind on any subject, i'm
pairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, nervous
feelings, gloomy forebodings and irri,ability
of temper. The blood itself being diseased,
as it forms the sweat upon the surface Of the
skin, is so irritating and poisonous that it
produces discnlored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptions, sores bois,
carbuncles and scrofuous tumors The
stomach, bowels, and other organs spoken of,
cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or
later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspep-
STA, diarrh9a, female weakness, and many
other forms of chronic disease, are among the
necessary results. AS a remedy for all these
various manifestations of disease, Or. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is positively UNI
equaled. By it the liver and stomach are
changed to an active, healthy state, the anne
tite regulated and restored, the blood and
secretions thoroughly purified and enriched,
and the whole system renovated and built up
anew.
