Mr.. WATERMAN says. e.

a few months ago j was taken down with q
severe sickness, which confined me 10 the house
quite long time. and much Of the time was so
very lame as 10 be unable TO walk, and my left
leg, from the hip 10 the toes, became monstrously
swollen, and i suffered extremely from the CON
slant intense pains produced by so great infam-
nation was trying the various so-called cures,
all the time and was under the treatment Of O
physician seven weeks, but getting no substantial
relief. At this time an Old time friend, police
officer, called upon me, and during our converse
ton informed me Of the great benefit which he
had obtained by the use Of Hunts Remedy, and
urged me TO try it, as he considered it q wonder
full medicine. ] commenced taking Hunts Rem
edy, having very little faith that it would do
much in such a stubborn case as mine but my
doubt was soon dispelled, for before had taken
one bottle began TO get better, the severe pains
disappeared, the swollen leg gradually decreased
in size, and was encouraged 70 continue the use
OF the Remedy; and the improvement TO my
health continues, my appetite is good have re-
gained my strength, and ! am now performing
again my duties as Waterman at the foundry.
Every night go up and down stairs more than
one hundred times, and am in good condition
and feel that my recovery is due to Hunts Rem
edy alone. My severe sickness and terribly
swollen leg was caused by the diseased state Of
my kidneys, and think that it is a most valuable
medicine that will Sc -sPse.lly relieve and cure
such severe case as mine. ] therefore most
eheertully recommend Hunts Remedy To all
afflicted with Kidney Diseases, as ! know it 10 BE-
safe and reliable remedy

Volume Fifteen

With this issue the Herald and
Tribune begins it's fifteenth year
of continuous publication. 1t was
started in 1869 by Drs. Mahoney
& Wheeler, and remained the
property of DR.. Mahoney until
Just prior to the presidential cleo
ton in November, 1876. when it
was purchased by w. P. Brown
low, who was sole proprietor up
to March, 1883. A stock company
was then organized for the pur-
pose of putting it on a frmer ba-
sis than age alone could supply.
With the funds thus provided the
building at present occupied by
the paper was purchased and a
cylinder press put in in place OF the
old hand press, which was alto
gether inadequate to the require
ments of our circulation in politl>
cal years, even when run all the
week. 5fs7c
During the coming year the
Herald and Tribune will be espec-
tally attractive, and we intend to
establish its circulation at every
post office in the congressional
district, and we trust that our
friends everywhere will assist us
in thus spreading the light Ev>
cry such favor will be highly ap-
preciated and repaid whenever
occasion may present.
Our reduced terms, together
with remarkably low rates for
clubbing with other publications,
will be found at the head of this
page.
We want news correspondence
from all the twelve counties of
this congressional district. The
paper will be sent free to respon,
sible parties who will agree to
write up their local news and all
expenses of such correspondence
will be repaid by the Herald and
Tribune,

Craftsmanship on public buildings and

Senator Edmunds resigns the presi-

Senator Logan has introduced a bill to
extend national aid to education in the
states. He has not been friendly to the
plan of distributing according to the
ratio of .illiteracy and we presume the
basis of his bill is population,
which reduces the scheme to Il mere
treasury grab by the states.
Mr.. Oates, of Ala, introduced Il bill
in the House to devote the proceeds
of public lands to the education of the
people.
Bills to pension soldiers of the Mexican
war and widows of deceased soldiers,

The Soldiers Roll.

= Any one entering the corridors or
galleries of the House of Represens
tatiyes at Washington will be struck
with the spectacle of doorkeepers
at every door manned i'll every con-
ceiyeable manner. At the doors
leading into the House he will find
men with an empty sleeve, coming
and going and with a nervous ce'
lerity that astonishes one, carrying
messages and cards from persons at
the door to members within. AT
one of the doors he will find one
messenger with both arms gone
and yet he, too, comes and goes with
cards and messages as rapidly as
any of the number, being provided
with two steel appliances with
springs, in place of hands, worked
in some mysterious way.
Ascending to the gallery corri>
doris one sees famed and one-legged
men at the doors, who move about
with ease on their crutches. One
Of the iolliest and friendliest-and
they are all very courteous-of t.le
number, is Capt. Ryan, who can be
found at the door of one of the pri>
vate galleries on the west, and he is
the gentleman whose speech of
presentation we publish on u first
page. 49,
Some of these veterans Door
keeper Brownlow found on his roll
when he went into Office, along with
some who were neither veterans nor
in any legal sense disabled. The
real veterans he kept in their
places and filled the roll to the full
nuruber-fourteen, and throughout
his administration of the Office his
corps of manned soldiers has heen
the pride of his heart, and IN the
2lace of honor in his parlor at
home can be seen their photographs
grouped in one frame.
At the instance of Gen. Rose>
Grams, the House of Representatives
has practically instructed the new
Doorkeeper to retain the Soldiers
Roll as now composed, and we trust
that its membership will inn wise
be disturbed.
The employees in the Folding
Room-where congressional docu-
ments are wrapped for mailing, are
also represented in u columns this
week by the happy effort Of Mr..
Williams, who was deputed to pre-
sent their retiring chief with a
cane. We should like
to belieye that they, too, will be re-
tanned, but there r too many
hungry democrats in the land for
that. ai

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents message is
strictly a report of national bus,
ness to congress, presented in the
plainest English, and to the cas-.
ual reader It will doubtless be
more noticeable for it's lack OF
personal recommendations than
anything else.
Our foreign relations are set
forth infinitely and in view of the
decayed state of our commerce, land
our domestic peace and prosperity,
we know of nothing which has
more demands on the president
and lawmakers than the status OF
our commercial and diplomatic
relations with foreign powers. Our
own unwise laws have doubtless
contributed very materially to the
decadence of our shipping, but so
long as English and Dutch goods
are admitted to foreign ports on
more favorable terms than our
own, and while some of our pro-
ducts, as prepared swine in Ger
many, are positively excluded, the
whole fault cannot be laid at the
door IF our shipping laws, and a
field :5ypen for diplomatic medi-
alton.
In evidence of the fact that Mr..
Arthur's administration has been
both busy and successful in its
foreign work, it is shown that
France has raised the embargo
from American pork; consular and
commercial treaties have been eff
fected with the Danubian princi.
pallties, and with Corea and Mad>
agascar, while a hope is held out
that the damaging restrictions on
our commerce with Cuba and
Porto Rico will be modified.
Among the suggestions is a
fisheries commission, to foster our
Atlantic and Pacific fish COM
merce, interests and rights. iss,1lo
While he has no doubts that
the revenues might be further re-
duced, the President says that
legislation in that direction, at
the present session of congress. is
not deemed advisable for the rea-
son that a sufficient time has not
elapsed since the last reductions
to make ceItainties Of the present
estimates, and he suggests that a
portion, at least, of the surplus
may be applied with benefit to the
country to the rehabilitation of our
navy. u
The President does not favor
the downright absorption of the
telegraph business of the country
by the government, but fayors
government supervision of inter-
state telegraph business. He rec
ON mends a return to the one cent
rate on drop letters in cities
where the carrier system is es-
tablished, making it uniform in
that respect with Offices not sup
piled with carriers. Announcing
the failure of the Edmunds anti
polygamy legislation, he recon-
ntends that congress take the i'm
mediate political control of the
territory of Utah for the purpose
Of summariIy extinguishing poly
,amy. He again recommends
hat measures be taken for the
protection of forests. and that the
'uccession to tho presidency be,
given any needed legislation
which the wisdom of congress may
lesire to prevent future disputes.
The civil service act is approved
Is a success and the promise Civ
III that any legislation whereby
congress may lawfully supplement
he guarantees contained in the
amendments will receive Execu-
i've approval.

ship news comes from Texas that a num-
Der of wealthy men intend to sue the

slaves who were emancipated, basing
their claim for payment on a clause in the
