recommendations regarding several

dering you irritable and fretful, can
easily be removed by the use of that

IDLE ExPERMENTs.-When a man is
we'll and sound he can afford to be in
different to the character of all the me-
dicine in the world. But when disease
is fairly eating him up, he must do
something at once and do it intelligent
ly. Therefore do not dose yourself
with hundred things in the hope that
some of them may hit the mark, but try
DR.. David Kennedy's "Favorite Rene
dy," which hits it every time. For kid
ney and liver troubles, piles and con-
stipation, it is just what you want.

B- The presidents fourth annual
message is long one, which tho
roughly reviews the present condition
ofthe country in its various relations
1t is a frank, vigorous document " hicll
shows that the cares of office have not
weakened the presidential backbone al
any point. The message opens with q
coDgratulatory reference to the prosper
ity Of the country and the fact that an
other general election has ended peace
ably. Ii then di>russeS firmly and
fearlessl-' the outrageous d. pIivatiun
of the rights Of citizenship 20 which a
large class at the South are subjected,
and assures Congress that the senti-
ment that the constitutional rights OF
all must be maintained does not grow
weaker. The presidents we'll known
views on the need of popular educa-
ton are reiterated. He speaks hope
fully of the prospects of civil service
reform, and recommends all appropri-
alton to meet the expenses off CON-
mission to devise proper system OF
competitive examinations and super
wise their application throughout all
branches of the civil service. He ad-
ministers a sharp rap at Congress as
being the chief obstacle to this reform.
and for its invasion of executive func-
tions. The Mormon question receives
attention, and the message advises the
adoption of the necessary measures to
deprive polygamists of civil power,
and render possible the extirpation of
this blot upon our country. Our for
eign relations present little to notice,
amicable reletions prevailing with all
other nations, and the extension of our
commercial interests is the principal
topic discussed in this connection.
The financial affairs of the government
are shown to be in very satisfactory
condition, being more favorable than
those of any other country. The ordi-
nary revenues of the government from
all sources for the fiscal year ended
Junel 80, 1880, were 1888, 526, 61O. 9s,
expenditures, S267 ,642 ,957.7S; leaving
q surplus revenue of $65, 1883, $3.50 20,
which together with sS,0s4, 1927 was
applied to the redemption of portions
of the public debt. The debt of the
United States, which in August, 1865,
was S2,756, 431 ,571.43, has been re-
ducsd to S1,SS6, 019, 5O4.65. OF the
principal of the debt there has been
paid since March l, 1877, sos, 1853, 100,
effecting an annual saving of interest
Of sc, 10Y ,593. BY the refundng oper-
ations further annual saving of inter-
est of $14, 290, 1880 has been effected.
The president advises the retirement
and cancellation of the outstanding
greenbacks, and the discontinnance of
the coinage ofibe present silver dollars,
and in place thereof coin dollars which
shall contain face value in bullion.
The army and navy aud the various
departments of the government receive
due attention and suitable recommen-
dations are made in regard to each.
The improvement of the Columbia and
MISSISSIPPI rivers and tributaries, the
great waterways of the continent, is
strongely urged. II Is advised as fit
