THE BERLIN MISSION.


A Parallel Case 30 Eayard TmFIor,a
appointment.
Those papers that are finding fault
with Bayard Taylor's appointment
to the German mission on the ground
that he goes there s'to write a life of
Goethe." may console themselves
with the following parallel case:
In the summer of 1912 Mr.. Weed
was at Washington in company
with the late Moses H. .GrinnelI,
Richard M. Blatchford and Simeon
Draper. They dined with Mr..
Webster, then Secretary of State.
Having disposed of the solids, and
while partaking of fruit and Ma.
deira, Mr.. Grinnell said: 81 have
great favor to ask of you, Mr.. Web
ster." g You can ask no favor which
viii not be promptly granted re-
sponded Mr.. Webster. SIN COM
pleting his Life of Columbus Mr..
irving finds it necessary to have ac-
cess TO the Spanish archives, for
which purpose he will soon depart
for Spain. AS the Madrid consulate
is vacant, we, without Mr.. Irving's
knOWt6USe, came mere TO ask that
appointment for him." Mr.. Web
ster, after heightened pause, in
quired, "Do / understand you, MIR.
Grinnell, as asking disappointment
of Washington Irving as Consul to
Madrid ?'' Mr.. Grinnell replied af-
firmatively, and again reciting the
circumstances which made the ap-
dointment desirable. Mr.. Webster,
sitting erect, and after still longer
pause, in loud voice and emphatic
manner, said, why not Ministe7. to
Spain, STRIP This was an unex-
peeted, but not the less gratifying
surprise. The sitting was protrac4ed
for an hour or two, but nothing
more was said ON that subject. NIr,
Irving's appointment as MiniSter to
Spain was announced the next day.

Tortures that Need NOT be endured.

People suffer a great deal of pain unneces-
sarily. Among fortunes that need not be
endured are those inflicted by the rheuma-
tism and govt, since the acrid element 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 maChless depurent, HoStetteris StOm-
ach Bitters, before the intlammatory symp-
toms are developed to any great extent.
When it is considered what eXcruciating
fortunes rheumatism infiicts,- and what n
attack the heart, the advisability of an early
use of such reliable antidote becomes at
once apparent. The rheumatic virus IS
expelled from the blood by the increased
action of the kidneys-which act as strain
ers-produced by the Bitters, and the sufferer
will find, if he uses this supreme defensive
agent, that he will be protected against re-
turn of the agoniZing complaint. Dyspep-
STA, fever and ague, liver and bowel COM
plants and other maladies, are also cured
by this admirable remedy.

The Increase OF southern Power.
memphis Appeal. ]

Memphis Appeal
1t is plain to be seen that the in
crease of population in the southern
States by immigration will greatly
increase the strength of the south in
the counSeIs of the nation. The
south and west will control the
future destinies of the country. The
New Orleans Democrat argues that
Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and
Tennessee have all received q large
number of emigrants. The pro-
portion of these coming from north
ern States is unpreeedentedly large.
The report of the commissioner OF
agriculture of the State of Tennessee
shows that in this State ninety-nine
out of one hundred emigrants are
from the north and west in Missis-
sippi all the new corners are from
northern States, while in Texas,
although there is a large number of
settlers from North Carolina, GeOr-
'gia, and the older southern States,
the western emigrantS far Outnum-
Der them. This change in the di-
rection of interstate emigration
promises to produce most important
results. 1t must give the south
an increase of representation in
Congress; it must stamp out more
effectually sectional animOsities 1T
must, with the wealth of labor ii
brings, create new wealth in the
south, and with it new powers and
industries. Among the results
which il has been predicted that
this emigration would bring about,
hut which have not occurred, is q
change in southern politics. The
westerners, many of them Repub-
Iicans, who settled inS the south
have not had the slightest effect on
the Democracy of these States. All
white persons-that is all white
settlers who come to the south to
work, not toget office-instantly be-
come Democrats, whatever their
former opinions may be. The re-
suit of this emigration, therefore,
has been to increase, instead OF
diminish the Democratic majority
of those southern States that have
received this wealth of emigration
