BILIOUS N SS.

Bilious symptoms invariably arise from indigestion, such as furred tongue, vomiting of bile, giddfness, sick headache, irregular bowels. The liver secretes the bile and acts like 8 filter OF sieve, to cleanse im- purities Of the blood. By ir- regularity in it's action or sus- pensions of it's functions, the bile is liable to overflow into the blood, causing jaundice, sallow complexion, yellow eyes, bilious diarrhosa, a lan- guid, weary feeling and many other distressing symptoms. Biliousness may be properly termed an affection of the liver, and can be thoroughly cured by the grand regulator of the liver and biliary organs, BURD0CK BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the stomach, bowels and liver, making healthy bile and pure blood, and opens the cul- Vepts and sluiceWays for the outlet of disease. Sold every- where and guaranteed to cure.

THE SITUATION.

The New York Tribune is doing excellent
 work for Mir. Blaine and the Republican
 party. It set forth yesterday some of the
 reasons why it was wise to nominate him, as
 follows: For the workingmen of the eastern
 States the nomination. of Mr. Blaine is in- comparably the strongest that could have
 been made. For the people of the western
 prairies it is also the strongest, if the dele gates from western States were not strangely in error. For the Pacific States, it is by universal admission the strongest. For the southern States. which are now beginning to develop manufactures and mining, such as Virginia and West Virginia and Georgia, it is the strongest Nor is it improbable that it will prove exceedingly strong wher- ever Irish voters are numerous Thousands of them will be won to the Republican party by this nomination. A distinetiveIy Ameri- can policy, policy of determin ed industrial antagonism to British influence, will arouse intense enthusiasm among Irish-Americans. Nor will there be wanting other citizens who will remember how Great Britain behaved during the rebellion, and how American commerce was chased from the seas by Brit ish cruisers. The protective policy will be found stronger than it's foes imagine.
 This is reasonable and forcible, as are also some remarks which the Tribune makes to the Independents who are displeased with the nomination. h says: Some of them (the Independents) are now talking impetuously of revolt Against whom and in whose be- half is this revolt to be directed Ordinarily movements of this kind are in organized op- position to officeholders and naachine-mana- gers, and are conducted in the interest of the people. Is there any evidence that the will of the people has been openly defied in the nomination of Mir. Blaine Is there any evidence that the delegates in effecting choice on the fourth ballot misrepresented the constituencies which empowered them to act in their nsme2 These are important questions for the In dependent Republicans to consider; for unless they can convict the delegates of the high political misdemeanor of dsfying and misrepresenting the Republican constitu- encies, there can be no legitimate cause for revolt. It will be a revolt against the intel igence and will of the people; and that is very different from revolt against political managers in the interest of the people.
 Another thing which the Independents will do well to bear in mind is the effect which Democratic victory would have upon Civil Service reform, which has got 8 good start and is growing in usefulness and popular favor. If the Democrats win this year this great reform will receive ''set-back" which it will take long time to recover frsm.
