Tornor or inactivity of the kidneys is seriously
dangerous to those organs, since it is the prece.

Stomach Bttters, general invigora MT and altera

Party lines are obiiterated In Virginia for the
present, at least, and the people are divided
upon the state debt question. Those who be-
heVe In paying the debts of the state are sup
porting the McCulloch compromise adopted by
the legislature last winter. AS the debt was
contracted before the state was divided, 1t was
deemed fair that West Virginia should pay It's
proportion, and the McCulloch plan provides
Tor this 1t leaves the new state to pay one-third
In any manner It's people may devise. The two
thirds assumed by the old state L. to be paid In
full, bearing three per cent. interest for the
nrst ten years, then four per cent, and then
nve up to the payment OF the debt The un-
PAID interest On the principal of the debt
amounts to large sum, and this Is TO be
funded at fifty cents In the dollar and bear the
same rate Of interest as the principal. This
compromise was accepted by the creditors OF
the state, and the best authenticated reports
are that 1t VIII be ratified by the people

The Independent Movement L
M1S6lSSiDDi.


The democrats are preparing for an active
campaign In Mississippi this fall, and all their
big guns will be brought to the 'front.' Senator
Lamar VIII make number of speeches and
prominent party leaders from other states have
been urged to lend helping hand The rapid
growth OF the independent movement I'm MIssis-
sippi admonishes the democratic leaders that
they must be up and doing In order to hold the
state. The opposition to democracy is now led
Dy native white men, many OF whom served In
the rebel army. They are men of influence and
have the courage to maintain their convictions,
therefore the shotgun method can not be en-
ployed against them. The Independents are
already upon the stump and the democrats are
forced to meet them In open discussion. One OF
the most prominent OF the Independent leaders
Is General Stephen d. Lee, who won distinction
as q confederate cavalry leader and reached
the rank OF major general. He Is known as
fighter and cannot be bulldozed He is at pres
emit state senator, having defeated the reynlar
democratic nominee, and this year the indie
pendent organization In his district Is much
stronger than 1t was at the last election. The
Yazoo outrage has reacted upon the party that
perpetrated 1t, and instead Of weakening the
opposition has added to its strength, It Is
natural that the property owners of the state
should desire peace and order. They have
something at stake, and 1T Is largely this class
who are giving Life and power to she independ-
emit movement. This division OF the white
people OF Mississippi, however, is confined to
local issues. On national questions the indie
pendents will remain democrats, and will, with
comparatively few exceptions, vote that ticket
straight. The contest Is for better state gov
ernmeDt than the democrats have given them:
Tor an enforcement Of the laws so that free
thought and free speech may be assured to ALL
and thus invite immigration and the Investment
OF northern capital within the state. None Of
the Old leaders OF the republican party figure
In the new movement. Some OF the most
prominent and active In the cause are men who
were but recently workers In the democratic
cause, and this 1t is that alarms the managers
OF the ruling party.
