TOrtures that Need not be Endured.

People suffer great deal of pain ny
necessarily. Among fortunes that need
not be endured are those inflicted by the
rheumatism and govt, since the acrid Ell
ement in the blood which produces them
by contact with the sensitive covering of
the muscles and joints may be eliminated
by the use of that matchless depurent,
Hnstetters Stomach Bittcrs, before the
lnammatory symptoms are developed to
any great extent. When it is considered
what eXcrnciating fortunes rheumatism
inticts, and what a tendency it has. when
fully developed, to attack the heart, the
advisability of an early Use of such a re-
liable antidote becomes ut once apparent.
The rheumatic virus is expelled from the
blood by the increased action of the kid
ncys which act as strainers produced
by the Btters, and the sufferer will find,
if he uses this supreme defensive agent,
that he will be protected against a return
of the agonizin, complaint. Dyspepsia,
fever and agne, liver and bowel com
plants, and other maladies. are also Gu
red by this admirable remedy.

There must be no dallying or delay
about it; the party must speak out. II
it has principles or a policy. which it is
ashamed or too pusiIlanimous to avow,
we want to know it. We call too upon
the good people of the State to see to it
that they are properly represented in
that Convention. 1t is high time they
were putting on their war paint unless
they propose to be trampled under foot
by lot of scheming politicians. And es-

heard in the Convention. We know for
what it will he, and we desire to hear it

The failure in the Senate of an ex-
ira appropriation of $40, 1000 to enable
Schurz to prosecute few inottensive
wood cutters and charcoal burners in
the Gulf States does not overwhelm
us with grief of al inconsolable pat
tern. So long as this half-crazy, half
vicious Dcutsch tramp confines his
"Retorm" operations to great speech
es and to homeopathic doses of "civil
service examination and promotion"
inside the walls of the Patent office
nobody will modest him, for thc rca
son that there is no law compelling
people to listen to his speeches, while
if the employees in the Patent office
dislike his nostrums they can resign.
But when he obtrudes his ugly nose
into the affairs of private citizens who

of the Federal Government to pcrse-

simply a ridiculous fraud Or a con-
trmptible hnmbng as the case may be-
But under the latter conditions he
becomes a vicious nuisance and, so
far as Ne goes, an iutolerable scourge.
He has already shown both ignorance
of the law regulating his powers and
defiance of decency in selecting his

a hot bed of egotism and arrogance,

himself the beneficiary of unusual

he gets off with no worse confusion
than that of having his recommended

Rural Roads,

The people complain that our tax
es are enormous, but do they ever
think that there is something worse,
which is more injurious to the best
interests of the commonwealth than
the rate of taxation The question of
State and national taxation sinks into
insigniIIcance when compared with the
terrible condition of rural thorough
fare, which has become burden so
great as to 1cpress industry, discour-
age development, and take away all
enjoyment in agricultural pursuits.
Our farmers complain more loudly
than any other class, of bad roads.
But do they give that labor and at
tention to their repair which they
should ? Is it not too common for
them all to hurry through, the work
and leave it halfdon It all hands

To Our Friends.

An exchange gives the following SEN
sible advice to its correspondents. 1t is
given a little blunty, but it is about
right: We want items of news from
every part Of the country, but nothing
but news, We dou't want your views Of
politics or religion. We don't want your
opinions on any subjects. Write moth
ing but news-actual facts. Write all
the poetry you please, but it would be
cheaper for you to burn it yourself than
to pay postage to send it to us for kind
ling. We don't want obituaries claiming
the deceased to be several dee. lees BETTER
than any other saint that ever lived, as
we publish enough lies already. Never
write unless you have some news.
Don't tell the people that it has been
raining, showing, OF that the weather is
is warm or cold. If they don't know it
is raining, let them get wet. Report
every accident, death elopement, revival,
departure, sale Of real estate, and every
public improvement. The above men
toned topics are about the only ones it is
desirable for correspondents to write upon
to any country newspaper.

Peccayi,
New Orleans Democrat

Louisiana was the last ditch. rs it
were, of the fraud shriekcrs. One by
one, the other latorously> constructed
works had been abandoned. Grover,
Cronln, Field, Pelton, Black, Blair,
and a host of other scbemers, had
been obliged to give up their plans of
operations. They contented them
selves with bowling, though the con-
test was practically over. The trial
and arrest of Anderson and Wells re-
vived new hopes. Here, at last, was
the chance to tasten a conviction on
the Republican party. Cox, in the
House, made haste to refer to Mr..
Hayes as "a fraud," and to say that
he held his Office by virtue of the
crime of man who was in Louis
lana Jail. But almost while the words
were dropping in the House, the &C
cnsed members of the returning board
were acquitted by the decision of the
Democratic Supreme Court of the
State. The last refuge was gone.
The last pretex for the cry OF" fraud !"
was taken away, and the squad of
Observation-Disclosures were unable to open
their lips n. Y. Times.
With bowed heads and in humility
of spirit we plead guilty. Either the
Democracy of Louisiana have been
makers or the Supreme Court
of the State has committed an error
gross enough to rank as crime.
Either the people, who for eight years
have struggled, and groaned, and
fought against Radicalism with its Re.
turning Board machinery and Federal
bayonets, were Observation-Disclosures or
the Supreme Court of Louisiana has
decided wronsfu!Iy. Either the men
of the fourteenth of September-the
living and the dead-were mischief
makers, or the Supreme Court Of the
State has mistaken the law and the
facts and released from the peniten-
tiary a wretch whose crimes conll
only be expiated on the gallows.
