The Welfare Of she Human eyatem

The Welfare of sbe Human syatem
Is in a great measure dependent upon the
way in which the bowels perform their evac-
native function. If they are regular and

essential of health is secured, and that bless

the bile, being diverted from its natural chan
mel and purposes, enters and contaminates
the blood, producing that yellowish cast Of
the skin and whites Of the eyes which is such
a sure index of %biliousness. All these disas-
trous consequences, as we'll as others Of a far
more serious nature, are femedied and pre-
vented by Hostetter's Bitters, the leading
American specific for disorders Of the bowels,
stomach and liver.

the situation is so critical that it will

the public tranquility more important

that the vote of Florida will be rejected
or changed by fraudulent contrivances,
for the election machinery of that State

the friends Of Governor Tilden. Upon
the whole, we see no cause to doubt that
Governor Tilden has been elected to the
Presidency by the people. A few days
may be needed TO determine his precise
majority.

THERE was a want of energy and

that was in striking disproportion
to the importance Of the issues at
stake. The Thomas Democrats
seemed to take more interest in the
election Of Casey Young and the
Democratic ticket than anybody
else. They nearly all voted the
straight Democratic ticket except
for Porter. The negroes came in
from the country in great force and

was no doubt a great deal of re-

DELLTowN.- In strolling over that
section Of the city known as above
named, we had but to revert back,
but one year to recollect when a
half dozen houses constituted almost
all of that part of town. To-day an
almost continuous line of houses are
to be met from the railroad to an
eighth of mile past the home of
Alderman Bell A large two stori-
ed schoolhouse shows its proper
tionsi in clearing, in which but year
ago stood the tall trees of the for
est. Two grocery stores have, also,
been added to that part of town, and
just beyond has been built a
large ware house and toll
erable good pier, during the
past summer. Two new roads
have been opened also, one leading
along the line of Front street to its
intersection with the old Military
road that leads to Salmon Bay, the
other leads to Lake Union. Before
long, we are led to expect, another
pier and wharf will be built from
the shore to deep water, and another
saw mill there will add to the pros
perity of Seattle. So fast has the
northern end of the city spread out,
that the people there demand to be
subdivided into another ward and
school district. Within the short
space of one year we have seen
where real estate investors have
doubled their money. May these
evidences of Seattle prosperity con-
tinue.
HARD Road TO TRAvEL.-Many
are the complaints that reach US as
to the condition of the beach road.
Twenty inches of muck covers the
five hundred dollars worth of i'm
provements placed upon it. by the
county last summer. In fact, the
cord wood that corduroys the road
along the beach, is fairly afoat.
Farmers put off from week to week,
their coming into the city, for the
reason that the wear and tear on
their vehicles would not, in many
instances, pay for the profit derived
from the sale of their produce.
Many say to us, that should Plank
Road Company be formed, they
would cheerfully submit to a reason
able toll, could they have any kind
of decent road to ride upon. The
value of the Duwamish river trade
is no inconsiderable portion of our
revenue, and it is for the best inter-
ests of the county to have better
roadways between the precincts and
and the emporium. Not only is the
bay road in this condition, but so
also, are all of our thoroughfares.
We merely mention the state of the
chief of our roadways, that the in
ference may be drawn as to the state
of the others.

CEosswALKs. The condition of
our streets are anything but pleas
ant, but the neglected state OF
our crosswalks occasions anything
but the use of elegant language on
the part of our citizens. That the
walks might as well be cleaned as
not, is patent to everybody. There
would be much more pedestriapism
in the, vicinity of our stores, and
consequently, more traffic. We also
call atteltion to the absence of a
crosswalk where Front street inter-
scots Mill street, and which want we
tope will be soon supplied.
