However the Post may differ upon other
points with Chairman Bland, OF the House
Committee on Coinage, it fully indorses his
opinion as to the responsibility OF the Gov
eminent for the trade dollar. 1t makes no
difference for what purpose this coin was
originally issued, nor in what way 1t be-
came diverted from that purpose. Inc
simple fact that it bears the stamp OF the
Government, and has found its way into
our circulation. ought to make 1t redeem
able at its face value, and any attempt to
evade this liability on one prefext or
another at loss to the people who have IN
good faith accepted il. smacks not only OF
injustice hut Of downright robbery. III
there is any loss to be borne 1t should he
borne by the responsible authors OF the
spurious currency and not by the innocent
holders Washington Post.
And however we may differ upon other
points with the Post, we endorse its appeal
for the abatement Of the trade-dollar
nuisance.

The Macon (Ga.) Telearaph saws:

q Free trade means direct taxation. II means
the evils Of the present internal-revenue system
intensified hundredfold. II means the invasion
Of every house In the country by the pimps and
spies Of Federal power. IL means an indefinite
increase OF Federal patronage and i.limitable
corruption. The people OF the United States do
not intend TO entrpst power TO any party that of
fers them such u programme as that"
This expresses our ideas precisely, al
though we do not confound tariff reform
merely with free trade. II, however, some
Of the reformers had been more discreet,
and not. by their loose and unguarded
utterances, led many people to believe that
they favor free trade absolutely, the manu-
featuring and business interests would not
have taken the alarm they did immediately
after the election to the speakership Of Mr..
Carlisle. But these gentlemen. being adj
monishcd by the rumbling Of the distant
thunder they have heard. will probably
proceed more cautiously in the work OF
reform than they would have done II the
press and people had not been so out
spoken. The subjec. is one to be dealt
with very cautiously, in view Of all the
interests involved, and the much-wished-
for success Of the Democratic party this
year.--LynchCurg Viryiaian.

THE OTHER SIDE.
IIexinptou Gazette.

When the contest for the speakership
OF the House OF Representatives began 10
foreshadow the policy OF the Democratic
party for the presidential contest OF 1884
the interest of the people in that contest
began TO show itself more decidedly.
In Virginia State Convention preceded
that contest; that Convention adopted a
platform with two planks defining clearly
the sentiments of the voters OF Virginia
on two questions involved in national poll
tics. We alude to the planks on the tarl1
and on the internal revenue.
The Convention put in command OF the
Virginia forces prominent gentleman
with well pronounced views on the tariff.
It was then that interest in fhe question OF
the spcakership as shaping the Democratic
policy IN the presidential contest became
intensified. The candidacy OF MIR. Carlisle,
OF Kentucky. was full-born and his election
assured before the country at large was
awake to the issue involved. So astute a
politician as Mr. Randall was entirely in the
dark. He was confident OF election to
within few days OF the assembling OF
Congress.
Henry Watterson appeared at public
meeting in New York and the Carlisle boom
was ut full flood. Mr.. Randall and bis fel-
low Democrats who held TO the liberal idea
on the tariff as given in the Ohio, Pennsyl-
vana. and Virginia platforms, were told
that they could seek association elsewhere /;
that the time had come fora union OF West
and South on free-trade platform, with
western man OF the Morrison type
for President. The issue was joined; Vir-
ginians awoke to the fact that in day
their Democracy had been repudlated by
the party leaders at Washington and they
were told that their State might Join with
the Republicans and the Democracy would
look elsewhere to make up the deficiency
made by her expulsion.
We had only conquered this insolent ally
of Repubicanism to find that we were out
side the Democratic party as led by Morri-
son and Watterson.
Mr.. Carlisle when elected gave reas-
surancc to the Democrats in Virginia by
the tone and temper OF his inaugural adj
dress. We were beginning TO take heart
again when the formation OF the commit
tees was announced with the Ways and
Means headed by Morrison and some pro-
nounced free-traders with him as asso-
ciates. This was certainly not an appoint
ment retissuring to Virglnians. We began
to lose heart again. when here comes
Speaker Morrison in an interview in the
Washington, Post to blast our hopes:
"The southern members are opposed to
the internal revenue system because OF its
alleged abuses. not as Mr.. Randall and his
friends are, because the disturbance OF this
source OF revenue would demand the re-
tention Of high tariff. | don't believe In
disturbing the tax on whiskey and tobacco.
| They were imposed to meet the expenses
OF the war, and when the national debt Is
paid and the present pension list reduced,
then is time to talk about abolishing it."
Such Is Mr.. Chairman Morris n's opinion
of the Virginia platform.

poor Carlotta."

The emperor and empress are re-
membered with more love and Justice
as time goes on, and the latter is in
variably spoken of as poor Carlotta. "
She won the hearts of the common
people as the wife of no subsequent
ruler has ever been able TO do.
As one incident among hundreds
illustrating this fact, let me tell you
what occurred not long ago ut the
Teatro PrinciDal: A wcll-kn0Wn Next
can opera company had been delight
inc this music-4oYing people for many
nights, and the favorite prima donna
q gay and pretty little creature-was
loaded with gifts and faYors. One
night, for an encore, the audience (WhO
are always far more cXcitable and de-
monstrative here than our colder blood
ed gatherings ut the north) demanded
of the prima donna one Of the many
little songs written 1T the fall of the
empire, ridiculing the emperor and
empress. The prlma donna endcav-
Ored to divert them from the point,
coQuettishly singing other songs at her
prettiest, but still the cries continued
for the one ut first demanded. In vain
sue ulu uCE UcSO III OCucI IluCS. IuC
wiIlfuI audience would not be diverted,
the cries degenerated into bowls and
then into Kisses, till she was driven
from the stage. The manager. going
behind the scenes to exercise his per-
sonal authority. found her in passion
of tears. She explained that she had
once been a maiden of the palace, that
the empress, discovering her talent,
had been her patron and paid for her
musical education, and that the very
dress she was then wearing was ''poor
Carlotta's" gift. Could she use the
advantages thus gained to ridicule her
benefactor? Meanwhile q perfect
pandemonium was raging in the
theater; yells, cries, and groans were
deafening; many people were hastily
leaving, and chairs had begun to rain
down upon the stage from the galleries,
with alarming indications that heavier
articles might soon be expected to fol
low. The manager stepped to the
footlights amidst a shower Of missiles,
and explained the situation. With the
characteristic volatility of the Latin
race, the little girl was recalled in the
midst of her tears and cheered to the
echo, order was restored, and the
offensive song was rendered by the
chorus without her assistance

Cure for Snake-BiteS.

Very few physicians know how to
successfully treat snake-bite. | have
had hundreds of cases under nv OBJ
servation, and have seen many wonder
full cures. In countries where the
venomous rattlesnake abounds and
bites are frequent, incision as treat
ment is almost unheard of. The most
common antidote used is whisky in
large quantities, which acts to a good
effect where the patient is not addicted
to drink, but should he be partly satur-
ated with alcohol, then it is of no avail.
A cure not generally known. and
which acts almost by magic, is to take
q live chicken and cut it open and
place it over the wound. In two or
three minutes the fowl becomes thor
Oughly saturated with the poison, and
assumes q dark-green color. Then
place fresh one on the punctured
parts, and still third one, which is
usually sufficient in ordinary cases.
A never-failing remedy that is used
TO great extent in Florida is COM
bination of lion-root and rattlesnake-
violet. The former is made into tea,
and a salve is made of the violet. Be-
fore using this, however, pouItice
made of salt and indigo is applied to
the wound to draw out the poisonous
matter.
Another remedy, easily applied and
always at hand, is to dig hole in the
earth and bury the injured part in it.
There is something peculiar in con-
nection with snake-bite, and [ want
to tell you of it. If man should be
bitten on the arm, say to-day, just one
year from now. within day or two of
the anniversary of the occurance, the
arm will begin to swell, and yellow
spots resembling those of snake APP
pear, and this will recur each succeed
mo year. ittsbMrQ Gazette
