The remarkable results in disease so uni versal and with such variety of character istics as catarrh prove how etfectually Hoods Sarsaparilla acting through the blood reaches every part of the human system. A medi- cine, like anything else, can be fairly judged only by it's results. We point with pride to the glorious record Hoods Sarsaparilla has entered upon the hearts of thousands of peo- pie it has cured of catarrh.

IIARTZ.

Those who were at the New Haven Opera House last night were much mystifed and pleased with what they saw, or, more proper ly, perhaps did not see. The tricks were done without the aid of the suspicious par aphernalia used by some "magicians," and most of them were really wonderful. The concluding one, '"The Living Cherub in the Air." is Q most remarkable optical illusion It consists of living head which floats in the air and smiles, frowns and speaks when commanded, and which apparently has no body to support it. Besides the very skillful and entertaining magical" performances of Hartz there was an interesting exhibition of ventriloquism by Mir. Duncan. No better ventriloquist has visited this city for long time, if ever. The entertainment will be re peated every evening this week, and deserves to be we'll patronized.

They look about with an exclamation point

ENCOURAGEMEN TO CAPITAL.

In view of the Inauguration of a new street
railway enterprise, and when We consider the
great and growing necessities OF the city-lts
desire for railroads, mills, factories, hotels,
theatres, &C.. and the advantage of securing
capital from abroad to put these things in
motion, as our own citizens are not SO dis
posed, will our citizens reflect for one mo
ment on the effect this new street railroad
proposition may have on prospective invest
ments. The street railway now in operation
is really the only enterprise built by foreign
capital in our city, and the gentlemen who un
dertook it were encouraged to do so by the
leading spirits in the proposed new company.
The present street railway has been for the
past three years keeping up with the require
ments of the community, and we need another
street railway less than we need anything else,
and that this single enterprise should
be assailed, its rights threatened, its lines cut
in pieces, and ask if this kind of treatment is
going to encourage others to invest their CAPT
tai in our city. One line of this proposed new
railroad not only cuts our streets and bridges
SO that it will be impossible TO drive out or in
to town without being seriously retarded with
tracks and occupying our two new bridges,
but cuts the present street car lines SIX times,
proving that it has been devised as an injur-
ious opposition to the present company.
Now If new street car line is desirable let
it be placed in those streets not adjacent to
the present lines. We are not favorable to a
monopoly but we do think that the privilege S
asked by thesnew company are unjust to the
present company, which has certainly fulfilled
every requirement of the public and added
oreatIy to the comfort and business of our
citizens. This is matter, however, in which
the council will be guided in their action
largely by the expressed wishes of the people

In remarking upon our comments upon loca-
ting the shops of the Southern Pacific the
Houston Sun says:
Certainly Mr.. Huntington can afford to buy
the San Jacinto street bridge, and the EVEN
ING LIGHT along with it, but Mr.. Huntington
is man who understands his best interest,
and has thoroughly investigated the matter OF
locating his shops, and after due considera-
ton he has found the interest of the company
he represents will be best subserved by Plac-
ing the shops at Houston.
As to Mr.. H. buying the LIGHT, it might
be more difficult than the "Sun" thinks. But
so far as Huntington thoroughly investigated
the matter of "locating his Shops" we don't
believe word of it. He consented,to get rid
of Crosby's everlasting dlnging in his ear that
Houston was the GENRE of location ETC., and
we further believe that wher the new manage
ment take charge they will thoroughly in
vestigate" everything.

cry: Solid for Bate and Democracy. IL
there is anything like human certainty, 1t Is
certain that never since Tennessee was a
State viii there De such an overwhelming
Democratic victory as the present campaign
Offers to the gallant Bate"
The ITp.oI. Record states By authority that
the sup porters of RUSSELL will not run a
county; and it ts believed that the most OF
them will vote cheerfully for Mr.. Smitheal.
We give them credit for deciding upon this
course because of their unwillingness 10
elect Republican, knowing full well, as
they do, that to nominate candidate could
have no other tendency"
The West Tennessee Whig, for the in
formstio of the GAINESVILLE T061cco Leaf,
says that General Bate stated at Union
City that he would not recommend the repeal
of the four mile law. He gave manly and
straightforward answers to the questions
asked on that occasion, and it is inexcusable
in the Tobacco Leaf TO be SO far behind. The
four-mile law Is in mo danger whatever.
More than nine-tenths of the people are
satisfied with the law The Tobacco Leaf will
have to hunt up some other scheme 10 catch
votes"
The Upton Record puts it strongly thus:
mo Democrat should think OF throwing
awsy mis- vote on either RUSSELL or Beasley.
Ii is of importance, if the people OF Tenues-
see expect 10 govern the State, that they
should eject this man Hawkins from the
chief magistracy. 1t can only be done by
electing General Bate. III Bate Is not elected
governor, then Hawkins will be; and none
know this fact better than Bessley and Fus-
sell. To vote for either Of the two latter is
to give half vote TO Hawkins. Repudiate
the platform il you choose, but make up
your minds to vote for Bate"
GalIatin 1ennesseaa: General Lucius Polk,
of Madry, it is said, will be candidate for
the State Senate from that district, on the
Bate platform. The Hon. John V. Wright
is thought TO be the candidate for the Fns.
sellers, Hswkinziles, and the other odds and
ends. The late so-called regular Democratic
candidate for governor will have hard row
of siumps to weed in his candidacy. He will
have his pledg and promises msde to the
people while candidate and his subsequent
course presented TO the people of his district
in way not likely 10 enhance his reputation
for consistency and the virtue of doing what
the people expected from the tenor of his
speeches and promises"
