Baltimore Gozette Dem.): 1t il
very clear the arrears of pensions to
the participants of all our wars, and
in addition the enlargement of the
list of wars previous to our late war
between the states, would bankrupt
the government. Senators Beck and
Davis, of West Virginia, have en-
phasized this whole matter in their
efforts TO guard the treasury against
the wholesale raid promoted by
Maxey and Vest. The needy and
deserving of our veterans should be
cared for, and what the law intend
ed for them should reach them, and

hands Of the human vultures who
seek to enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of better men.

indigestion.

Rev. Sydney Smith says: Looking
back at my past life find that all my
miseries of body and mind have Iro-
ceeded from indigestion. People should
be thoroughly taught the moral, intellec-
tual and physical evils of indigestion" If
the food is not properly digested il de-
composes, becomes corrupt and polsOns
the system il is intended TO nourish. This
is indigestion. To com at this distressing
malady, the medicine employed should
De no drastic purgative TO irritate the al
ready inflamed stOma h, but n mild lax
alive, gently assisting nature in estab-
Ii hing a regular habit of body. 1t should
be a medicine safe to take in any condi-
ton of the system, with any diet, and
without danger from exposure to wet or
cid, hence it must be absolutely free
from mercury or any injurious mineral
ingredient. Bec4use the above proper
ties are found happily combined in that
purely vegetable medicine, Simmons
Liver Regulator, il is so generally regard
ed throughout this whole land Ms the
great specific for indigestion and its at
tendant evils: Headache, biliousness,
constipation, piles, lassitude, etc. Let the
despondent dyspepic take heart from
the experience of the very large number
of sufferers who have by this medicine
been restored to health and strength.
"My wife has suffered for many years

The Colorado Cttiz in discussing
the question as to whether Texas
should or should not have a farmer
for governor, sensibly says: ave
are utterly opposed to the idea of
instituting class in the ensuing can
vas. The Jeffersonian test, is he
honest ! is he capable?' should be
the rule governing the people in
their selection of officers and IL
this be complied with, it matters
not whether the incumbent comes
from the ranks of the lawyers, the
farmers, the stock rGisers, the me-
hanics, or from any other avoca
ton. We want an honest, capable
man tor governor, and 1t is imma-
terial from what walk of life he 10
selected"

Worcester (Mass.) EVeniRg Gazette
(Ind0: Postmaster General Howe
was not expected to improve OH the
executive ability aud common sense
of Mr.. James, and his early official
acts do not in this respect prove a
disappointment. He seems to DO
trying to ride into public favor by
showing his devotion to the memory
of the lamented Garfield. His first
circular to The postmasters of tho
country asked them for subscrip.
tions for the Garfield monument.
The object is Of course worthy, but
such request from a superior C.
his subordInates is in the nature OF
a mandate rather than hint, and q
forced levy on those employed by
the government would be mani
testify indecorous and would de-
prive such testimonial of its value
and significance to the extent TO
which the money thus collected was
used.

Mrs. Stanton said that she had re-
ceived two written questions from
persons in the audience The frs b.
was: "If women are allowed to
vote, won't the rich and Intelligent
ones stay away from the polls and
leave the voting 10 the poor and
ignorant ?" She answered that those
who were first TO ask for suffrage
would be the first to take advantage
OF it. The second inquirer said {:
The bullet and the ballot go to-
