woman's Suffering and Relief.


Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you
to feel scarcely able to be your feet; that
slant drain that is taking from your system all its
former elacticity; driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces
rendering you irritable and fretful can easily be re-
moved by the use of that marvellous remedy, Hop
Bitters. Irregularities and Instructions of your
SYSTEM relieved at once while the special cause
of periodical pain are permanently removed. None
receive SO muca benefit, and none are SO profoundly
grateful and show such an interest in recommend
ing Hop Bitters women.

Twenty lives, according to the latest ac-
counts, were lost in the burning of the
Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn last week, and
it is thought probable that many more
bodies will be found, as there are yet large
number missing. The heroism of the Sis
tiers who risked and lost their own lives in
trying to save those committed to their
charge is worthy of the highest admiration.
But the folly and worse of keeping 800 chill
dren In building SO dangerous as this is
proved to have been deserves reprobation.
Unfortunately this is not the only great
establishment of the kind which waits only
for fire to be kindled at an inopportuna
moment to add another to the many terrible
records of the destruction of life of those
dependent on charity and collected together
In great institutions. The lesson of this fire
is the same that has been inculcated by so
many others, that it is unsafe to place
children or other helpless persons in lofty
and imposing buildings. These institutions
ought to be located where land enough can
be had to build number of low and safer
structures. The appearance may not be so
imposing; but such calamities as this in
Brooklyn would be avoided.

In the naval appropriation bill now be-
fore Congress we have an illustration of the
Objectionable ways of the Democratic par
ty. The House made an appropriation in a
lump sum for The navy, which is an unusu-
al and highly improviaent proceeding. The
Senate amended by specifying to what uses
the money SO appropriated should be ap-
piled. IN the conference committee, the
members representing the House refused to
concur in the amendment. The Senate, by
unanimous vote, has expressed detelmi-
nation to adhere to It's amendment. The
House refuses concurrence, and deadlock
has thus been brought about. Meantime,
the navy is in necessity, but must wait for
its money until the Democrats in the House
are willing to make the appropriation in
proper form to secure it from waste and
misuse. That the Senate unanimously sus-
tanned the position taken by Mr.. Hale is no.
table tribute to tho reasonableness and JUS
tice of his position.

fFrom the New YORK rrihnne.

(From the New York Tribune.)
To the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: There have been published lately In
the Tribune several communications charging
that the members of the administration did
not give their hearty and outspoken support TO
Blaine and Logan, none of which aspersions
have been editorally corrected by you. These
communications have been anonymous, but to.
day Mr.. Chairman B. r. Jones comes to the
attack IN bis own person, making sthe charge
that neither Mr.. Arthur nor his Cabinet, with
possibly one or two exceptions, gave that loyal
support to the ticket that was to have been ex-
pected from Republicans
In reply to this ungenerous aud unjust
charge, I take occasion to assert from my own
personal knowledge that during the recent
campaign neither the President nor any men,
Der of his Cabinet lacked desire for Republ-
can success, or failed to do all that was asked
or could have been reasonably expected Of
him to accomplish. This proposition is genet-
al, but is bread and positive, and particulars
vi SusIdin it.
1t is very much to be regretted that the
tendency of the New York Senatorial contest
should be an occasion for crinnation and re-
elimination within the Republican ranks; and
1t 10 especially Indecent that the chairman of
the Republican National Committee, resident
in another State, should enter the field for the
sole purpose of falsely charging the President
and his Cabinet with disloyalty to the party,
and the President with unsoundness on tae
tariff question. Mr.. Jones was an unknown
man when he was made chairman of the Ma
tional Committee. and he conducted the party
to defeat He certainly should have hesitated
before publicly undertaking to throw the
blame upon some one else. 1t is not
my inteLtion in this letter to make counter
attacks upon the chairman or other members
of the National Committee who managed or
mismanaged our campaign of disaster, bat if
the warfare in which Mr.. Jones has engaged is
to be continued there will certainly be quite as
many blows given as TAKEN so far as am con-
cerned. The interests of the Republican party
should prevent such contest. 1t is completely
within the power of the Tribune absolutely to
arrest it before it assumes any new phase
VIII you do it? Very respectfully,
VIM. e. CHANDLER.

The. most powerful schorching,
and hardest excoriation and most
terrible arraignment we ever heard
Of the rotten republican party was
that by Hon. p. Dunn at the Wilson
Hall on last Monday night. Col.
Dunn pulled off his gloves in the
commencement OF his speech, and
took care to keep them off to the
close, and of all the unmerciful ex-
posures possible to be imagined OF
as filthy an institution as he had to
deal with, it was made then and
there By his master hand. There
was not an inch of the leprous body
of the base thing called party, and
represented by Blaine and Logan
that was not burnt by the caustic of
this powerful oratory. Each truth,
aud they bristled by the thousand,
cleaned and glistened as polished
tine IN the pitch fork OF his mighty
argument with which he handled
and tossed the rubbish of sinking
republican pretensions into the heap
of their odious record. His constant
contact With republican monstrosity
gives him deeper insight into the
dangerous conditions on which its
foundations rest, and faithfully did
he paint the picture of its unright
eous power and wicked methods.
Strong and powerful as were his i'm
peachments of this arch enemy of
American progress, still the limits
were not reached, for it is hardly to
be conceived of the extent of wicked
ness and treachery to which the rad
ical party, otlicered and manned as
at present, would not lend itself
The speakers arguments were UNI
answerable and his scathing incom
parable. Truthes clothed as Mr..
Dunn clothed them, is what will
draw the blistcrs on the carcass of
this hypocritical party to be pune
tured by the ballots of over five mil.
lions Of American voters the 18th OF
November next.

Two positions OF the greatest mag

Two positions OF the greatest mag
nitude to the people of the State now
stand open for their action. The
positions Of U. S. Senator and
State Supreme Judge. There is NO
danger but that both will be filled
with good men. But it is not enough
to fill them with good men only.
The state will not rise to the import
ance of this opportunity unless she
chooses not only the best, but the
wisest and most learned citizens she
has No Gil these important trusts,
and for the former especially. In
no other way can she take rank in
the councils of the nation. Arkan-
sas has few men who in the United
States Senate would in association
with Senator Garland place her at
the head Of the list in that eminence
and national reputation which comes
through the eminence, respect and
reputation which her representatives
conquer and enjoy at the national
capitol. Before the country at large
Arkansas will be measured by the
standard of her representatives at

Senate. 1t is important then that
