BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians IN
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their.
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitn-
tons, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.

With Malone successful in the State this

With Malone successful in the State this
fall, Virginia is secured to the Republican
cause next year and greaterresults are de-
pendent upon the election in that State

The Republican party would be better Of
with a Democratic victory in Ohio next
week than it would with such victory in
Virginia, for Ohio could be redeemed in
1894, while Virginia could not be And
with Virginia once dciven from its Demo-

"Mahone's success means Republican
victory in Virgin That is the way, as
the State truly says, Virginia is looked up
on in the North and if, on the morning Of
the 7th of November, the telegraph carries
the news of such victory North, every
Republican there will rejoice over it and
claim Virginia as Republican State. Ma
hone is a Republican, and all who support
him by their votes in the coming election
are casting vote for the Republican party.

A METAMORPHOsIS.

Only golden curl,i
So beautiful, dainty, and smooth;
What power 1t has to recall
Sweet mem cries, sorrows to soothe.
Only golden curl
Perhaps in happier hour
In merriment stolen, and priced
More dearly than riches or power.
Only golden curl
Sweet treasure! How fragile thing
To summon dead memories back,
And tears to the eyelds to bring.
Only a golden curl
But, oh how the sentiment roughens,
And poetry changes to prose,
To find it in one of our mullins!

.sTHE OLD, OLD STORY"

To church the two together went,
Both doubtless on devotion bent;
The narson preached with fluent ease
On Pharisees and Sadducees.
And as they homeward slowly walked,
The lovers on the sermon talked;
And hc--he deeply loved the maid
In soft and tender accents said
Darling, do you think that we
Are Pharisees and Sadducees ?"
She flashed on him her bright olacK eyes,
In one swift look of vexed surprise,
And thus he hastened to aver
He was her constant worshiper;
"But, darling, insist" said he,
s'That you are very fair-I'see.
1 know you don't care much for me,
And that makes me so sad-you-see."

Stable manure is often spoken of as the
standard fertilizer and complete manure
in itself. 1t is so probably for corn, but for
wheat and other small grains phosphate of
lime is usually needed, and on sandy soils
potash. This is shown by the fact that the
manure alone creates heavy growth of
straw, without proportionate increase in
grain.

Fred. Douglass, the coalition orator, hay
ing declared in favor of the social equality
of the two races, Mahone's national organ
is out in an editorial strongly endorsing
Fred. Douglass's speech. Democrats have
all along avowed and prophesied that to this
point Malone was tending. Now even the
incredulous have only to read the avowal of
his organ to have every doubt removed from
their minds. Winchester Times.

The Washington Critic (Nahone sym
pathizer,) has been interviewing Collector
Brady, in that city, who assures the inter
viewer that Virginia is alright" and that
''the Readiusters will secure another sweep
ing victory in November" In reply to the
question: ''What effect will the result in
Virginia have upon the Presidential cleo
tion," the answer of Brady was:
considerable effect. If we carry the
State this Fall, Virginia will cast her next
electoral vote for the Republican nominee
for President. Yes, indeed" continued
Colonel Brady; "Virginia is all right, and
we are bound to win"
There it is; the truth confessed. The
struggle this Fall is, not only to continue
Malone and his set in power, but to turn
this State over to the Republicans in the
Presidential election next year. And that
would be the effect undoubtedly. Can,
therefore, any man, calling himself Demo
crat, vote with the Malone party this Fall,
when he knows that, in so-doing, he COM
mits old Virginia to the destinies of the
worst wing of the Republican party, to
make it as Stalwart as Vermont or Rhode
Island. That is the grave question that
Democrats are called to consider, and an
swer to their own conscience Which of

selves with, permanently? Mahoneism is

CURTAILING EXPENSES.

There is a penny wise, and pound
foolish system, in the conduct of some of
the men who control the expenditure Of
appropriations. There
seems to be disposition to cut off in
many departments of the government in
remote places expenses Of employees, and
tranler the duties of these employees to
others which is Inconsistent. As for in-
stance the duties of Indian agent require
that he should be at the agency and be
ready at all times to respond to all mat
tcrs that may be submitted to him in
the settlement of difficulties that may
arise between Indians, and whites.
He is liable to be applied to at
any hour of the day. In many
respects he is like a magistrate, who
should be approachable at all times. But
they abolish the office Of a team
stcr and impose upon the agent the ne
cessity to do his own teaming, which Of
ten calls him many miles away from the
Office. They furnish him no authority
or compensation to employ another in his
stead, and consequently if done at all, he
must do it himself, and be away from
his post sometimes for one or two days
at time In his absensc there comes
up a difficulty that has to be settled, per-
haps between parties that come to the
Office from great distance on the reser-
walton, finding him absent They are
compelled to remain at loss of time and
expense till his return There is no
earthly good reason why the agent should
do his own teaming, nor why he should
not be allowed to have the necessary
teaming done for him by another His
own compensation is not sufficient to en-
able him to pay for teamstcr out of his
own salary. If the Indian agency is to
be maintained on reservations with all the
usual duties of an agent to be performed
that agency should be supported in man.
mr. to make it the mostefficient, and pro.
per expenses should be allowed and paid
We favor the severalty system and the
abolishing of agents, and subjecting the
Indians to the laws of the white man. az
fast as the thing can be done, but SC
long as the agency is required for any
purpose, we think the government is pc
nurious, when it docs not give the agent
the means of carrying out the purposes Of
such agency in manner that will com
mand respect and properly compensate
him. At one time these agents wer,
amply provided, and all expenses wer'
allowed as well as aids. But charges ha,
been preferred that extravaganza hac
been used in several agencies, and in
yestigations have shown that they wer
true, but that is no reason why the de
partments should rob agents of aids anc
means that are necessary and proper
Punish the guilty, and not starve the in
nscent, to make the accounts balance
Let the government be just to all, an'
not partial to some, and over stringent to
wards others. The treasury Of the gov
eminent is provided to pay all legitimat
expenses Of the government, and not b
left to be plundered by thieves and swim
dlers, who happen to gain favors from it
officers by system of dividing spoil
with those in authority, and drawing W
