THE PASSIVE POLICY.
Letter from a Hls.surIsn.
o the Editor of the Patriot.

10 the Editor Of the Patriots
When the sO.called Passive Policy
was proposed to the Democracy Of the
country as an expedient for the defeat
OF Ra1icalism, ii seemed 80 impraeti-
cable and vfsionary that 1t at first re-
celYed the serious attention of but
lew. 1t was without precedent in
nationsl politics. It appeared, on a
superficial view, to strike at the or
ganlzauon and discipline Of the party,
sno Tor It's success required conditions
that Dy many were believed very diff
ncult OF attainment. Still, though
startling, the policy was not an un-
trlSQ one. In tennessee, Virginia,
and Missouri, It had succeeded in
ao0llshlng acknowledgements, restOr-
ing trateEnal feeling, reviving popu-
Lar interest in public affairs, securing
fair representation Ia Congress, inaue-
Erating amnesty, and substituting the
peaceful operation of the written laws
for the harsh methods of military
nominations. These, il Is true, were
not Democratic partisan victories, but
they were Radical partisan defeats.
They were not accomplished by the
Democratic organization, but they
were triumphs foT Democratic princi-
pies.

What Spring Brings With II.

Regarded from a medical standpoint, Spring is not
the delectable season described by vernal poets. On
the contrary. it's yield Of intermittent fever, bilious
attacks, rheumatic pains, disorders of the stomach,
nervous complaints, and pulmonary diseases, is almost
as large as its crop of ~violets, snowdrops and cherry
blossoms. The invisible seeds Of innumerable mala-
dies rise with the morning mists, and are scattered
broadcast by the vapors of night. Who can resist
their mephitic inhuence2 Certainly not the weak by
nature, or those whose nervous energies have been
overtasksd BY mental or physical labor, unless they
tone and invigorate their systems. and thus enable
them to cope with the unhealthy influences by which
they are surrounded
The only medicinal agent by which this object can
be rapidly and safely accomplished. is the great vege-
table renovant and invigorsnt, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. The operation of this celebrated specific is
four-fold. 1t strengthens the digestive organs. regu-
lates the secretions, improves the condition of the
blood, superinduces a regular habit of body, and
thereby imparts such vigor and elasticity to the whole
physical structure as to render it capable of resisting
the action of the poisonous miasma. with which the
spring atmosphere is always to some extent impreg-
mated. Here. then, is a ready and certain means of
escaping the disorders prevalent t. at this season. or Gf
they have already fastened upon the system) OF con-
quering them speedily and thoroughly The flavor of
a medicine is not Of much consequence, provided it
does its work properly, but of Hostetter's Bitters it
may be fairly said, that they effect a cure without out
raging the patients sense of taste.

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark,
among both wholesale and retail drug
gists, that no medicine introduced to
the American public has ever gained
such a popularity and met with so large
a sale in all parts of the land, in the
same length of time, as has DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot
depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medi
cine, as such is not the case. The cor
rect explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of
very bad cases of bronchial throat and
lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most
perfect and efficient remedy for all
kinds of Coughs that has ever been in
troduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest blood purify
ing and strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to pro-
duce, thus rendering tia sovereign
remedy not only in the cure of Con
sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness, and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the
liver and blood, as scrofu1ous
diseases, skin diseases, blotch-
es, rough skin, pimples, black
specks, and discoloratiohs. It has
therefore a wide range of application
and usefulness, and it not only gives
the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations
of the most sanguine, thus eliciting the
loudest praise and making permanent
living advertising mediums of all who
use it. For these reasons it is that there
is not, perhaps, a druggist in all the vast
domain of this continent, who tries to
please his customers and supply their
wants, that does not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medi-
cine. $50

A Word for the Babies.

The season that tries children's souls
and bodies-is at hand. The cold,
damp season of early spring, with its
penetrating breezes that chill the entire
system and generate incipient Group, is
already here, and it behooves anxious
parents to be on the alert, if danger,
and perhaps death would be averted.
Too many parents find their children's
lives cut off by the want of a little care.
Group always originates in a cold, and
in most cases the cold is caused from
exposure to dampness, either of the
clothing or of the atmosphere. In
many cases the primary cause is INSULT
cient or improper clothing, Especially
is this so with little girls. On this point
a great responsibility lies with the
mothers, and when a child loses its
life either from the wilful ignorance of
its parent or the wilful following of a
fashion that leads to that result, what
is it but inviting death? Let mothers
become strong in common sense and
resolve to raise their children, not to
bury them. Let them remember, also,
that though sickness may sometimes be
called "sent from Cod in the true
ense, hat which is forced upon a help
less child is nothing less than a crime.

JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERs.-We heard a
seedy-looking individual with an alarmingly
red nose remark to a brother soaker that he
had "just had his bitters, but he did not
mind taking another nip" His remarksug-
gested a train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word bitters'
had grown to be a synonym for gin, whisky,
rum, and other alcoholic stimulants, to
which it was applied Unfortunately. Bit
tiers, re reasoned, suggested the idea of a
healthful tonic, not of a poisonous fstimu-
liant something invigorating to the system,
not an alcoholic i~rritant, full of fusel oil,
producing present intoxication and ultimate
insanity, idiocy, or premature death. More
over, our idea of bitters was totally ~irrecon-
cilable with l." gin cocktails" rum punch
es," and "brandy smashes," which, we are
informed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison. This
was bitter-sweet with a vengeance. We
mentioned this problem to a friend. He
solved it by exclaiming, Why, don't you
know that most of these bitters advertised as
remedies are only drains in disguise. Topers
know it, if you do not. I must make one
exception, however," he added, and that's

A Want Supplied.

The dairymen of the Northwest have long
felt the need of a central, reliable
commission house devoted ex-
clusively to the sale of butter and
cheese, where each package would be sold
on its merits. Messrs. King, Reynolds & Co.
nave opened such a house at 203 Kinzie St.,
Chicago, and farmers will consult their own
interests by sending dairy products to this
competent, well-posted, trustworthy business

Great Britain Extending her Possess
SiOnS.

Great Britain has followed up her an
nexation of the African gold fields with
that of the Dutch possessions in Guinea.
The treaty, by which the King of the
Netherlands gives up his colony. has
just been signed, despite the earnest
objections of the people and press of
Holland and the people of Guinea. who
sent a deputation to protest against it,
all the way to the Fatherland. For its
acquisition England pays a small sum of
money, and annuls some treaty stipula-
tons, by which the Netherlands were
prevented from occupying the great
Malayan Island of Sumatra, SO that it
is a mutually advantageous bargain.
This treaty makes England the first of
European nations in African colonies.
Her foreign subjects number $1,000
600, and they occupy 100000 square
miles of the globe ; but they are not, on
the whole, a source of strength to the
mother country.
