STATEMENT OF MRS. ELLEN G. BUTLER.
CHAIR FST0vN MASS

Eighteen years ago / was SO sick with what my
physicians pronounced Consumption that neli ;nf
my friends nor myself thought that II was posslble
for me to recover. / had a terrible cough, with
great loss of flesh, night-sweats, and had quite
severe hemorrhages as often as once week.
Seeing that was getting worse every day from
the treatment of my physician, was induced to
call on Dr. Schenck ON one of his visits TO Boston
After examining my lungs, he said that they were
sound, and that my trouble came from the liver,
which was so badly swollen and infamed as to
press on the lungs, causing the cough and memoir.
images He prescribed his PuImonic Syrup, SeaTeed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, which soon gave me
great relief, and by their use, for few weeks, 1
was entirely cured. have since advised tpeir use
in great many cases of lung disease, and they
have always done all you claimed for them.

THE TYRANNY OF DEBAUCHED
APPETITES.
Shall vicious appetites rule this
land? Shall debauched, debauching
thirst be the absolute sovereign of
this nation? Shall the hunger of de-
pravity and the lust of iniquity be the
letters and CHAINS which will enslave
our people in bondage more abject
and miserable than any known to CIV
ilized man? Shall drunkard- making,
pauper-making, matchmaking, wild
ow-making, and misunderstanding be
the highest and most honored of en-
| Payments, and shall the drunkard-
makers, pauper-makers, widow-mak-
ers and children-starvers be our lords
paramount, who shall make our laws,
select our judges, appoint our rulers,
and drive us like cattle, hitler and
yon as they shall choose? Shall we
having escaped the tyranny of king
landholder, and soldier and aristocrat
of the old world fail under the vastly
more loathesome despotism of pro-
fessional law-breakers, and selfish
and sinister panderers to deprayed
appetites? This is the vital question
of the hour. The professional drunk
ard-makers, pauper-makers and chill
dren-starvers seek to rule us that the,
may have greater scope and libert.
in their vile work. They are using
the wretched victims whom their pros
tituting arts have debauched and de

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Iron Our Regular cOrrsspondsn,,l
WASHINGTON March 3, 1884.

w eAAsAbh ~ NN
Congress spent tho major part OF
tho week in debating two bills, both
of much consequence. In the House
the discussion was upon the pleuro
pneumonia bill. II was diffuse and
irrelevant ut times, but any legisla-
ton that affects in comprehensive
manner tho cattle interest OF the
country is Of vast Importance, and it
il q cause for congratulation that the
bill was passed, In tho Senate, tho
bill providing for the construction OF
seven steel cruisers for the Navy,
with the addition OF a steel ram and
three torpedo boats was passed after
prolonged debate.
Payne of Oklahoma, like all OF the
great men of the West has come to
Washington, ] ran across him the
other day and was startled. He is
oyer six feet high and looks strong as
on OK, Decidedly the best specimen
OF cowboy we have had in Washing
ton, and just such specimen MS Walt
Whitman would adore. He talks
like the leader of a holy crusade, md
and says that whenever he really gets
a decision that he is wrong from any
competent tribunal he will desist
from his efforts TO establish himself
and his followers in the Indian Ter
tory Whether genuine or not he is
an original and interesting character
moro so than Belford, or Finnerty.
Or the "famouser" Ochiltree.
Speaking of these great men re
minds me of q difficult undertaking
which Mr.. Arthur has accomplished
this week-he has had Bolford, OF
Colorado, Mt dinner. Perhaps no
president ever had more doubtful
job, but upon the occasion OF this
State dinner Belford managed to
achieve full evening dress This
probably gave Mr.. Arthur much re-
lief, for he doubtless expectedhe would
come in the same costume which he
wore ut the Tabor wedding, namely;
swallow tail cont, white ntcktie, q
cloud" pair Of spotted trowsers, and
boots that had been BACKED for o
fortnight Belford kept wide awake
during the repast, and subsequently
when Madame nilsson sang in the
presence OF the large company pres
cnt in the drawing room, Mr.. Belford
was quite overcome with his emotion.
There was another event at the White
House last week not down on the
regular programme. Barney Biglin
and the other New York boys came
over and they we're entertained sub
rosa of course, with m old time din
ner at which the President presided.
The Woman Suffrage Association
will soon be in possession of the M
tion'a Capital and Capitol this week.

THE CHANGE OF REPRESENT
T4TTON.

The Republican State Convention at
Madison last Wednesday voted in favor
of the proposition making the basis OF
representation in future Republican State
Conventions one delegate for each 800
votes cast for the Republican candidate for
president at the last preceding presiden-
tial election and an additional delegate
for each major fraction, but each county
shall be entitled to one delegate. While
some things may be said in favor of this
change it is certainly open 10 serious OBJ
iect;ons. To abridge Republican repre-
sen tation from Democratic counties may
be Just but it is neither polite, fair nor
wise from political standpoint. Theor-
ize or moralize all we may but the fact
remains patent, all the same, that men, to
a great extent, are governed in their polit-
ical bias by rewards and the satisfying OF
Eheir ambitions. When in a hopeless
minority Republicans cannot expect
Office and if other favors can be thrown
in their path by way of incentives tor
political activity and interest without any
great wrong being done to their brethren
in strong Republican counties. who are
rewarded from time to time with the
emoluments of office, all well and good.
1t is the Republicans in the Democratic
communities that need encouragement
and should have all the honors possible
shown them. They now feel that they
are scarcely welcome any longer in a
Republican body because, foraooth, they
hail from localities where, be it said, it
costs something and requires nerve to
stand up for Republican principles.
From this position on representation we
may expect another one taken, to-wit,
that no candidate shall be nominated for
a state office who halls from Democratic
county. We trust the coming state con-
vention will reconsider this action on the
