No Credit IN RennhIicans.

At any time prior to the reassembling
Of this Congress no Republican organ
could be found which cared to spare time
TO discuss the tariff laws. Since the late
elections, and during the occupancy of
House OF Representatives, the hall of
which shall know the majority no more
forever, il is to be hoped, that same ma
jOrity for the first time in its life pricks
up its ears and undertakes to dictate the
policy of the country. The Indianapolis
Journal, which during AOrtOn's day was
the Republican paper Of Indiana, and
even now is. if there be any, uses this
language:
The parpOse of the Republicans in the
present Congress is 10 modify the tariff
and to reduce the volume of taxation. In
this they are thwarted by the Democrats,
who have thus far prevented any action
in this direction"
The Indiana paper could not have made
a statement farther at variance with
the truth, yet our contemporary clings
as closely to facts as the most of the
Republican daily newspapers. They in
sist unanimously that the present agita-
ton of the tariff laws is due entirely to
them and their efforts; that the Demo-
Gratis. in fact. the whole people, have
merely followed in their wake, and had it
not been for them no such subject as that of
tariff reform would ever have been broach-
ed. The organs should have little shame.
They know that the present agitation
is entirely due to the Democratic party.
While there are, as all are aware, men in
side the Democratic party who are for
protection always, yet the or at majority
not only vote in the interest of revenue
reform. but furnish all its advocates.
There are none from any other party,
When the Indiana Republican paper says
that 1.-The purpose of the Republicans in the
present Congress is to modify tLe tariff
and to reduce the volume OF taxation"
it tells story out of whole brOadclOth.
Oftentimes the people can be fooled. too
often for their own good, but it is little
too thin at this stage Of the worlds his
tory for Republican newspaper to pro-
fess an intention of modifying a tariff.

are never initiated or cOunterteited. This
is especially true of family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
initiated is of the highest value. AS soon
as it had been tested and proved by the
whole world that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung
up and began to steal the notices in which
the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering in
valids to use their stuff instead, expect
ing to make money on the credit and good
name of H. B. Many others started nos
trums put up in similar style TO H. B.,
with yariously devised names In which
the word Hop or "HOps'' were used in
a way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style or name is, and especially
those with the word Hop" or "Hops'' in
their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch
none of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with "a bunch or cluster of
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are
warned against dealing in limitations or
cOunterfeitS.

Our Past and Future.

Fifty years ago the centenary of the
founding of our grand old commonwealth
was fittingly celebrated on the spot where
her noble founder first set foot within her
borders. The hundred years that had
elapsed had witnessed many OF the
most mOmentOus events III the
worlds history. or these most
pregnaut in their consequences were the
American revolution. in which the people
Of Georgia bore so glorious part and
made such costly sacrifices; the establish
ment of the American confederation,
whose harmonious workings have real
lied the dreams of the fondest friends of
humanity. and the tremendous upheaval in
the social fabric of France, which shook the

yet being wrought out.

social progress: Which Of them has con-
tributed an array Of statesmen, patriots,

of our race, that surpasses
hers? What need to call

what need is there to single out her fore
