Wei De Meyers Treatise On Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi

constitutional.
q That, being Constitutional. the infection Is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
5. That impurities in the nostrils are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the 1nngs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhcea

WISE SILENCE .

1t is known that, profting BY the
experience of the extra session last
year, the democrats in congress at
the present session have determined
to MAINTAIN silence, As they can
not open their mouths without be.
traying themselves, this policy Of
silence may be wise, as viewed from
their standpoint, but it will not be
satisfactory. The New York Tri,
bune puts it this way: 9IsHg1E
"There is general disposition on
the part of the democratic press to pat
the democrats 10 congress on the back
for the judicious and self.denyiDg 81.
lence they maintained on the passage
of the army appropriation bill with iis
rider. And they deserve 1t. They
were notably quiet. Mr., Samuel Cox,
of course, bulged In once on General
Hawley with the statesmanlke in-
curry whether it "hurt him much to
kick at nothing and on General
Hawley's answering that he YVES mot
kicking at him, but at the whole
democratic party" tucked his tail and
retired. Aside from this, they held
their peace, partly, perhaps, because 1t
had been threatened that II any dems
ocrat did otherwise they would
''shoot him on the spot" And the
democratic newspapers are quite right
In giving their representatives great
praise for such unusual seIf-restTaipt
and In calling their silence ''wise.p
For psrty that has exhibited such
transcendent gifts at laundering, and
that has never yet opened its mouth
without putting its foot In II, nothing
could be mole wise than silence, moth
Ing more fatal than speech. This Is
the policy of the "still hunt" The
game Is the same as at the extra ses-
sion, when the chase failed because of
the boisterousness of the pursuit.
From the opening moment of that ses-
sion when yelled on tue view the
opening pack" they all gave tongue
and were in full cry CONSTANTLY. The
result everybody knows. They corn.
prehend IL themselves. Hence, when
the old questions come up on which
they blundeTed 90 before. and with
them comes the temptation 10 talk.
they all say SIS h.hi and optoe out
with fingers on their llps. III
1.-THE purpose of this unusual SELF
restraint lie not far 10 seek. Fortu-
nateiy 1t is 30 plain that every body
can see and understand It. II is not
to save time, though that was family
avowed. A congress that spends three

ruler, and undo Rcontemptible trick.
In the reference of bill, is not so
economical of Its time as that. They
held their peace only because they did
not dare do anything else. And they
did not dare discuss the merits of the
pending measure because they knew
they were liable In any such discuss
sion to express obnoxious opinion 3
which the people would at the first
opportunity disapprove and condemn.
AT the extra session they gave their
tongues ,-us. free sq4., rein, .rar-. disclosing
with almost brutal frankness
the methods by which they proposed
to obtain control of the government,
the objects they had In view, and the
uses to which they meant to apply
their power. The fall elections of
1879 were the answer and the COM
ment Of the people. II was obvious
enough from the figures In those cleo.
tons that the people were hostile to
their plans, their methods and their
purposes. They had unSosomed them.
selves to the people and been con.
demned. The policy Of frankness was
a failure. To avert more strenuous
and final popular condemnation, the
programme must be changed. To
change the spirit and purpose of the
party was impossible; to conceal them
was the only alternative. And go
they came In at the beginning OF the
regular session impressed with the
necessity OF reform; reform, that lie,
not In their actual aims, but in the
method of accomplishing them; not In
abandoning their mischIevous designs,
but In keeping still about them.
ut is true that the best thing they
can do under the circumstances, is
precisely what, they did on the army
appropriation rider- hold their tongues
absolutely. Such silence is wise. But
they may as well understand that it
comes too late. They have talked too
much already TO be able to cover 1t by
any eilence the most profound. Thou.
sands of honest northern democrats
were shocked beyond measure at the
revelations of the extra session, and
their confidence In the party will not
be restored by this game of silence"

NOT A PERSONAL PARTY,

The republican party is founded
and based upon principles as broad
and deep as human nature itself, 1t
is not a personal party. Its ex-
istenee depends upon the existence
Of no living man, nor no hundred
living men. If every man now
prominent in the party were to die
this day, the principles of the party
would still live. They are inde>
structible. Hence, no one man in
the nation, or in any state, con-
gressional district or county is alb
solutely essential to the existence
the party. And 50 long as the
leaders of the party recognize this
fact, and make themselves and their
personal ambitions and aspirations
subordinate to the success of these
everlasting principles, so long will
the party succeed. Whenever they
lay their personal quarrels and dis
likes before their party, and ask
that their grievances shall be made
the grievances of the party, then
they ought to be remanded to back
seats to brood over their imaginary
or real wrongs in private way.
The man who imagines that any
one of the distinguished gentlemen
now aspiring to the republican
nomination at Chicago, is necessary
to the salvation of the party, he i:
wrong. Let US go on demanding
equal civil and political rights fol
all men; let US adhere to the policy
of maintaining the public credit
whether state or national, at al
hazards; let US continue to insist
that We are a nation,
clothed with all the privileges
and of authority as nation, and
whoever may be our leader, pro-
vided his record is not inconsistent
with republican principles, and We
are bound to win. Be sure thai
tbs foundation of our political edi
fee is made secure before we under
take to build upon it. When this
is done, we have abundant materia'
with which to build. E5Is9A
