Much of the distress and sickness attribu.
ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhpa and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the
stomach. Several cases, with all the char
acteristics of these complaints, have been
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures
effected by this medicine are so wonderful
that the simplest statement of them affords
the best proof that it combines rare curative
agents and when once used secures the

The Individual VS.. The State.

Here, again, the law of progress is n,isread.
Nothing is more certain than that it has result
cd in cutting down State sovereignty to make
room for individual rights Mans develop
ment has ever been an requirement Of rights
against the State, and, in all political advance
ment, the State has consequently become less
and less and the citizen more and more. The
progress Of civil liberty has been from the be-
ginning a wrestling of power from despotic
state sovereignty. Men fought early and des-
perately for the right of life-that is, that they
should not have their heads cut OF at the ca
price OF a sovereign will. They wrung from
the State the right of the individual own
ership of property. They reduced the
functions of the State when it repressed
free speech for its own sovereign purposes.
of determining what religion it thinks
best for the community, and thus secured the
rights of conscience. In all these things, and
in many more, government has been restrained
and hampered in its tyrannical meddlings, and
the people have correspondingly gained in lib
erty. The State has always assumed that it
knew more about what was good for the people
than they knew themselves. What we call
liberty IS nothing more than the right OF the
people to be their own Judges, and to manage
their own concerns in the way that seems best
for the promotion of their own interests. But
Mr. Bryant interpreis State sovereignty In
way that dissolves all individual rights. III the
State may interfere at its sovereign discre-
ton, TO extirpate the family in the matter Of
education il it may take away child as soou
as it ready for the kindergarten, and dictate
the whole course Of its cultivation, stamping
its character with view to State objects what
else may it not do, and what becomes of the
Wanted freedom of the citizen? The doctrine
belongs to despotism, and was first and ftly

Coming Events.

On the whole this has been dull year
for American citizens. We have had glut
of comets it is true, destructive tornadoes,
great forest fires causing wide spread mise
ry, and many disasters on sea and land.
But we haven't had much in the election
line Politically considered the country,
outside of New York state, has been quiet.
The meetings at the hustings, the harangues
of stump orators, the clamor of brass bands,
the noisy solicitation Of voters, have gener-
ally been wanting. With the exception of
the walk-over ii the Second Maine District,
the municipal elections in California, and
the annual Democratic victory in Kentucky,
little has occurred-and nothing to provoke
the frenzy to which the intelligent voter is
usually subject in the fail of the year. The
attractions for the short remainder Of the
season are not numerous, and, with the ex-
ception Of those offered in Virginia, excite
but languid interest. The Autumn pro
gramme is brief, and the show-bill, emitting
the cuts, is this:
In Maryland comptroller, house Of dele
gates, and half the Senate are to be chosen.
Massachusetts is to elect a Governor and
Legislature.
Minnesota is to choose Governor and
other State officers, house of representa-
tiyes and half the Senate.
Mississippi will choose Governor, house
of representatives, and half the Senate.
New Jersey votes for an assembly and
one-third of the Senate.
New York chooses partial board Of
State officers, assembly and half the Senate
Also members of Congress, in the Ninth
District in place of Fernando Wood, de-
ceased; in the Eleventh District in place of
Levi P. Morton, appointed minister to
France; and in the Twenty-second and
Twenty Seventh Districts in place Of War
ner Miller and Elbridge G. Lapham, elected
Senators Of the United States.
Ohio votes for Governor, three other
