The utter depravity of the republican
carpet baggers of Louisiana is being beau
tifully illustrated 10 the Spofford Kellogg
contest before the Senate committee, and
1t ever q doubt existed Of republican depra-
witty it must be removed after reading the
evidence of the witnesses. 1t is a sad
commentary on the condition Of politics in
Louisiana. No sensible reading person
has ever questioned the fact that KelIogg's
election as u. S. Senator was obtained
through the most corrupt and villianous
practices. To help carry out the scheme
Of intimidation the republican thieves who,
until two years ago ruled Louisi-
ana, brought to their aid the army and
drove from the legislature at tho point of
the bayonet, legally elected members sim
ply because they were, democrats. 1t is
Idle to deny these facts, for such is the
record, and what burning shame it ism q
country, professedly the most liberal and
enlightened on the face of the globe.
Kellogg knows he is not entitled to his
seat. The republican thieves in Louisiana
whom he represents and through whose
knavish practices he was given fraudu-
lent certificate know that he was not
elected. The people of Louisisna-the
mass of them aud large maiorty-know
that he is fraud aud adventurer who
migrated to the state for the sake
of Office aud there is hardly a man
outside of the ring bounden, rock
rooted, stalwart managers, who would
make any pretense at defending bis title.
And yet he sits in the senate chamber
with all the brazsn assurance for which
he is noted, and draws pay for misrerre-
senting the state which, through her hon
eStly chosen legislature rejected him.
There ia something to be drawn from this
Kellogg contest which all observing men
must sect is the fact patent to every
one, that Kellogg holds the key to unlock
valuable secrets yet unknown 10 con-
nection with the great fraud of the
last presidential campaign. Kellogg holds
the republican party under his thumb
and they dare not repudiats his claims fol
fear he may disclose important facts cor
nected with the great outrage of 1876
that dark. devil inspired transaction, which
seated Hayes 10 the chair against the over
whelulingIy expressed opposition OF thu
people.
Kellogg owns the stalwarts and they il
return are compelled from motives o
safety to support him. Look out for in
teresting developments 10 this Kellogg
Spoffjrd contest-rovelations Of villain,
and corruption, Of bribery. Of thievini
practices aud dark dyed feionies that vii
cause every true American to blush TO
shame. There is day of reckoning a
hand, however, and it will be the graz,
old democratic party that will sit in judg
ynent when that day arrives 1t is not
great way of either. 1t will come in 1886
and like whirlwind will sweep the COZ
rupt republican party out of existence
And right here it is proper to say that

RATIONAL BEREAVEMENT

We appeal to the readers reason if it is not fair
to suppose that the whole list of maadies that can
be logically and demonstratively traced to their
primary causes, should not be curable by the ap-
plication OF remedies known TO remove such eau
SEES. Briefly to recapitulRte, it has heen shown
how hillary and uremic poisons, which in health
are removed from the blood and system through
the functions of the liver and kidneys, by their
pernicIous operation on the living tissues produce
great variety of distressing symptoms, innumer-
able skin diseases, ulcers. scrofulous sores and
swellings and lingering and grave lung diseases,
chllls and fever, asthma, and goHt. Each of these
several divisions of maladies are, the writer is
well aware, usually treated if entirely unlike in
their nature and demanding different classes Of
remedies, according to tue peculiar theory of the
school" or individual practitioner The writer,
nevertheless, confidently asserts the results of
his observations that all the diseases enumerated
in this article can be most successfully treated by
uniform means addressed to the liver and kidneys.
and he tbases this opinion upon long experience
as consulting physician in the largest Sanitarium
in the world and stakes his reputation q physi-
clan upon the assertion that these diseases and
are cured by patent Alternative or blood-purifier
and liver and kidney inyigorator, known as
