THERE were no reports of Outrages
or intimidation in Louisiana before
the election, and such claims are made
now only to furnish pretext for de-
frauding The people out OF their choice
for President. If the rascals who
ruled the people of that State by force
and fraud for the past four years shall
succeed, then, indeed, is Republican
government farce.

Catholicism In Connecticut.

We are in receipt of the second number of the Connecticut Catholic. journal just started in Hartford. It is small, we'll printed, we'll edited eight page weekly, creditable to the growing denomination of winch it IS the organ. There are sever al interesting letters from different parts of the state. From one of these we clip the following, showing the extraordinary growth of Catholicism in our largest city:
 The first Mass said in New Haven was in the year 1927. A priest from New York Father Powers) came thither for the purpose of giving religious instruc- tion to the Catholic workmen who were then employed in digging the Pennington Canal. At that time there stood near the head of Long Wharf little chapel, which had been erected and used by the Protest ant people as a seamen's ''bethel." The committee who had the control of the building were applied to for the privilege of occupying it at an early hour on Sun day morning for the use of the Catholics. The application was refused, with the rep. ly-"We have no Popery now in New Haven, and we don't want any" A bar room was hired, the bar closed and con- Cealed from view by blankets, a few benches brought in as seats for the peo. pie. and under such humble surroundings the glorious sacrifice of the Mass was first offered in this city.
 Looking back fifty years from the pres- ent time. with the present prosperous con- dition of the Catholic population in mind, such @ beginning seems almost incredible. To-day the Catholics are quite one third of the populations; the children of Catho. hc parents constitute more than one-half of the pupils of the pubic schools: the citlzens of Catholic sentiments are to be found among the most successful practi- tioners of law and medicine, and the cler. gy are respected by all denominations for their piety. learning, public spirit and usefulness. The seven churches of thls city will compare favorably, in size and architectural beauty. with any sacred ed fees in the country. and the attendance holder on account of the numbers.
 Many of the teachers of the public schools are Catholics, aud one of the lar. gest of the pubic schools is taught bv an entire corps of twelve Sisters of Mercy: and it can be truly said that, for its grade. it is the mo aei school of the city. Some the Catholic parishes have fourishing pa. rochiai schools, numbering in the aepre. gate about eight hundred children, The public school over which the Sisters of Me cy preside is attended almost exclu. Sively by Catholic children Beside the churches there are three convents for the Sisters of Mercy. and the St. Francis Or. phan Asylum for girls, which at present contalns about ninety children, under the care of six Sisters of Charity.

MT. Burr, the editor of the Hartford (Coun.)

English would definitely agree to become a senatorial candidate; and that MT. Barnum's entry into the canvass was due to the fact that Mir. English had given no intimation of what he would do. If the story is true Mir. Barnum's course appears very equiv ocai, as, according to Mir Burr's story, he went home two months before the Con. nectlcut election and began his canvass for the senatorship, holding that because his offer of withdrawal was not imme- diately accepted, it was no longer binding. --NeiO Yorke EUeniYag Post.

LIVER AMDRLooD DISEASES.

By R. V. PIERCE, M. D., Author of ''The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
 A healthy liver secretes each day about two and half pounds of bile, which con- tains great amount of waste material ta- ken from the blood. When the liver be- comes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore,. remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to eve. ry part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a 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 overtaxed in per forming this labor in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long with stand the pressure, but. become variously diseased.
 The brain. which is the great electrical center of all vitality. is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to and from the heart. and it fails to perform it' office healthily. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning. which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dig .zy, sleepy. or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as il forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin. it is so irritating and poisonous that 1t produces discolored brown spots, pim- pies, blotches, and other eruptions. sores, boils, carbuncles, and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels, and other organs, | cannot escape becoming affected, sooner | nP Iof nd vun hnu ktA tiveness, piles, dropsY, dyspepsia, diar. rhea. Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation. teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation in throat bloating of stomach, pain in sides or a. bout shoulders or back, coldness of ex. tremities, etc., etc. Only few of the a. bove symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating. or blood-cleansine organ of the system, set this great ''house keeper of our health at work, and the foul corruptions which gender the blood and rot out, as it weret the machinery o life, are gradually expelled from the sys tenn. For this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Col den Medical Discovery, with very small doses daily of pr. Pieroe's Pleasant Pur gative Pellets, Is pre-eminently the arti cles needed. They cure every kind of hu mor from the worstscrofula to the com mon pimple, blotch, oreruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under theil mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that turk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by theil perservering and somewhat protracted us, the most tainted systems may be com pletely renovated and bnilt up anew Enlarged glands, tumors, and swellings dwindle away and disappear under tn, influence of these great resolvents.
