From personal ex experience, as well rs from
observation of its marked efficacy In other
cases that have como under our notice, we
cheerfully recommend RED STAn CoUoH
CURE as II safe and reliable family medicine.
Combining the power to relieve and cure
promptly, with the rare quality of being en-
tireiy free from opiates, poisons and narcot-
les, as demonstrated by the analyses or
recognized medical authorities, it may justly
be termed a valuable discovery.
We concur in the official opinion of the

WASHINGTON, March l1.-Gen. Hazen
testified in his W behalf before the
court martial yesterday. He admitted
writing the articles in controversy, but de-
MED any intention to show disrespect or
d~iscourtesy to the Secretary of War. He
gave rs his reason for making the state
ments that he had been held TO mo
serious responsibility for no effectively
rescuing the Greedy party; that it had
been published all over the world that it
was he who was in fault, and that in his
W defense he simply wished to state a
fact that Greedy could have been rescued,
and that he (Hazen) did all in his power
to have him rescued. The Secretary of
War, in his annual report, had largely
confirmed the opinion expressed in
the press that he (Hazen) was re-
sponsible for the death of the men. With
ont concluding the examination, court
adjourned.

senate Proceedings.
W~AsHtNaToN, March 17.-Thc back
bone resolution was laid before the Sen
ate, and Mr.. Eustis made a speech upon
il. He said a great wrong had been done
the people of Louisiana, and he wished
to enter his protest against its consnmma
ton. The title To the lands was Illegal
and fraudulent, and set up to defreul
s%ctilers Of their rights. This very title
had been denounced by the New Orleans
Pacific Company in documents which
Geen presented in Congress and in the
interior Department as actually bascless
and Illegal. Everybody was perfectly
agreed that TIC Backbone Company was
O nuts ance and a disgrace; that IL never
lived for any corporate purpose what
ever, but was the mere skeleton Of a der
elict association. Yet, in 1881, by one of
the most extraordinary proceedings on
record. this dcfunct company made an
assignment to the New Orleans Pa
cifc Company, and it was upon
such titles that the latter based
its cams. The transfer was radically
vicious and absolutely VOID. The o
sideration for ii was the enormous sum of
81. One,third Of the stockholders de-
nounced the act before the Interior De
pnrtment as a sham and a fraud. He
was glad TO know that the Secretary of
the Interior was going to investigate this
matter, and he hoped in the future there
would be an administration which would
be in the interest Of the people and pro
tect them from the rapacity of rich rail
road corporations.
Mr.. Teller defended his course, and
said not a point had been made by the
Senator from Louisiana tEustis) which
had not been passed upon by the Attor-
ney General and the Judiciary Committee
of the House. Mr.. Teller presented
virtually the same line Of argument as
was made on a previous occasion, and
was followed by Mr.. Van Wyck in about
the same strain as before.
At the close of Mr.. Van Wyck's speech
the Senate went into executive session
and shortly adjourned.

RlaIr and Prohibition.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire
whose chief title to fame has hitherto
been his educational bill, struck out.as
a would-be leader Of the Republican
party at the Boston Centennial of TEN.
peraDce reform. He predicted that In
1883 the Republican party would
bravely take up the prohibition issue
and push 1t until constitutional prohi-
bition was an accomplished fact.
1t would have been surprising if
such conservative Senators Of the
Republican party as Edmunds, Hoar
or Sherman had taken this gro ind, but
it is not astonishing that Blair should
have taken it. His educational bill, in
which he advocated a scheme for
distributing the surplus revenue Of the
United States among the various
States for school purposes, showed
him to be a dangerous centraliza-
ZIONIST, given to the most liberal con-
struction Of national powers and blind
to the evils OF a system that would
tend to extinguish the principle of
local self-government and the moral
value of the spirit of independence
that is developed when a State attends
to its own business.
Suicidal aggressiveness on the part
Of the liquor interest may drive the
country, State by State, to prohibition
by the high license route, or so me
more direct route, but the Blairs will
not be in the lead and they will not be
permitted to take the lead. Prohibit
ton, If It comes at all, will come by a
harmonious series of State statutes,
and not by a national law OF constitu-
tional amendments. People are tired
Of being prohibited unless they can
prohibit themselves.

Al Pryors churoh.

A regular meeting Of the Pryors
Church club was held last night, al
which there was a large attendance.
The meeting was called 10 order by
james Hill. Several cOlOred men ex.
pressed their sentiments In favor Of
the candidates, and 1t was noticed that
in this stronghold Of old time Radical.
ism a strictly conservative feeling was
manifested.
There seemed to be nothing Of
special interest before the meeting
except to listen to the spouters. The
latter we're in full force, and it is need
less to say they spouted to their
hearts content. Col. Fred Beck,
one of the veteran strikers,
whose occupation seems now
somewhat gone, was the first to open
the ball. He was opposed to every
body in general and nobody in
particular and sat down perfectly
satisfied with himself. About this
time pandemonium or sheol or some
thing or other broke loose and one
could hardly hear his ears.
"Miss Speaker" said fourteen people
at once. "Sit down" "Git out" 'Go
dar yo'sef." "You are anodder." In
the midst of the excitement Willie
Mills lost his hat and Sol White re-
marked he believed he'd 60 home. A
fellow by the name Of Andrew Lewis
then yelled at the top Of his voice,
" Hurrah for Worrell," and order was
at once restored. Mr.. Lewis then
made a splendid speech in favor Of the
entire Democratic ticket. He was fol-
lowed by p. G. Downs, who also spoke
in high terms of the good judgment
of the convention in placing such a
good ticket before the people,

A Picture of Prohibition.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Citizens of Cincinnati who are inter.
ested in the prohibition question-who
appreciate the v~astness of the interests
involved in brewing, distilling and re-
tail enterprises-will do well to read
the address of Mr.. John B. Finch.
chairman of the National Prohibition
League, printed elsewhere In this
paper, 1t shows the spirit of the Pro-
hibition element toward citizens for
eign born or of foreign descent. 1t
lays down the Puritan plan as the one
which must be finally pursued.
1t decries the liberal customs
which have come with a lib
eral foreign element. 1t d~enounces
those cities in which there is a large
proportion Of German population, and
which refused to be strait-laced on
Sunday. 1t is full Of covert attacks
on German citizens, and insists that
the safety Of the republic is in a de-
molition of the customs which they
enjoy. 1t declares war. 1t represents
that the impending conflict in this
country is between prohibition and
anti-prohibition.
We do not quote literally from the
address, but that we state the real
meaning of it we think every candid
man who reads it will admit.
Mr.. Finch states the future position
of the Republican party. He lays
down the principles which govern q
large portion of it now. The Repub.
lican organization is dying On account
Of the decadence Of the issues on
which it lived so long. There is nc
party so likely to swallow it up as the
Prohibition party. Even as soon as
next year the main fight may be be-
tween Democrats and Prohibitionists.
Ever since the Prohibitionists enter
ed upon political organization, the
Republican leaders have been earnestly
inviting them to join hands. They
have been assuring the prOhibitionists
that the only way to radical temper
ance legislation is through the Republi-
a party. They are trying to coax
the Prohibitionists into the Republican
fold this year.
Look at the difference between the
Democratic and Republican declara-
tions and performances on this subject.
The Democracy have uniformly de-
clared for license, a form Of treatment
of the liquor question directly opposed
to prohibition. The Democrats in the
present Legislature voted unanimous
ly to submit to the people a license
amendment to the constitution. The
Democratic candidate for Governor
this year has declared with much en-
phasis against prohibition.

WILL THE GOOD CITIZENS SUB
NIT?

The County has suffered from
packed %juries.
1t has suffered from scrip specula-
ton.
1t has been robbed by false vouchers,
1t has been robbed by false pay rolls.
1t has been robbed by corrupt con-
tracts.
If the Democratic ticket is elected
there will be a change IN all this, and
if it is not elected, there is good reason
to believe that matters will grow rap
idly worse.
In proof of the assertion that mat
tiers will grow from bad to worse let US
give a few facts. Look at the men
supporting Beck and Company, and
the arguments to which they resort.
Beck has given them the key, and not
one of them makes the slightest at
tempt to answer any charge made.
Take Mr.. hewitt Cooks speech. What
is there in it to satisfy any good citi-
zen? Take his appeal to the ignorant
negroes and his reference to the
scrip speculation of Beck, and tell US,
good citizens of Warren county, are
you willing that such speakers and
such hearers shall decide your most
important interests?
Take Mr.. Denio's little talk and his
piece in the evening paper in advocacy
of Beck. Are they satisfactory? He
makes no effort to answer any charge
against Beck.
None of them do, because they can
not answer them.
The whole plan of the oppo-
sition seems to be that Beck
bias the q bar'l and they "don't
give a d-n" for any obiec-
tions the property owners and good
citizens may urge.
If the good people of. this county
have not fallen so low, they will
submit to having their rights as citi-
zens destroyed by money, they will
soon convince the opposition they are
wasting their time.

It was said they would steal the canals,
but they still are ours. It was said
they would steal the Cincinnati water
works, but we still have them. The
refunding scheme was killed after
advise was given by the best hnanciers
Of Cincinnati to that effect. AS TO

there were more soldiers holding Office
under them than under any Republican
administration The States prison
under Democratic management
had not made any money but
convict contract labor had been abol-

the contract aystsm to the system of
State account and make money during
the change. The piece price plan is
better than the contract system, for
two reasons: 1t furnishes more accu-
rate information on which to base
State accounts, and secondly, it gives
the State more control over the men
and better chances for humane treat
ment. We have put Ohio in the front
of prison reform States. Now my
time is about up and / only wish to
say n thing more, that is that
| want Judge Foraker to tell US
whether or not he is for or against
prohibition.
Judge Hoadley devoted a good deal
of his time to answering questions
from the audience. There was no
chance given either Hoadley or
Foraker for continued argument, the
confusion and Interruptions by the
audience were continued. Tumultu-

AN OUTRAGE.

The condition Of the road from here
to the National Cemetery is a disgrace
to the county Of Warren. We know
that some members of the Board OF
Supervisors are ready to say it is not
their business 10 keep it up, that it is
the duty Of the National Government.
That may be so, but until the Govern
ment can be induced to do it, the
county exnecessitate must keep the
road in a passable' condition.
Our Board of Supervisors represent
the county and they should have had
the road repaired long ago. There is
only about six hundred yards Of the
road in a really bad condition and there
is dirt at hand to repair it and gravel
on top Of the adjoining bank to put on
it.
One may go ove the road and their
is a team nearly always in sight, it is
so much used. 1t should be fixed, but
we doubt that it will be, for we rather
think that some members of the
Board enjoy the complaints made
about it, because they have been justly
censured for useless extravaganza in
other places.

Mississippi at the Exposition.
IdilOr Commercial Herald.

RAYMOND, Oct. 6, 1885.
In representing to the world the
varied resources of Mississippi, and
indicating to the visitors Of the Ameri-
can Exposition the culture of our peo-
pie, by exhibit of their handlwork, it
is particularly desirable that each
section and county in the State should
he so represented as to enable the
stranger to form a just conception of
the tone of society, and the product Of
the soil in that particular locality.
Our people are celebrated for their
magnaminity and hospitality; our soil
for its fertility, and diversified pro-
ducts; our climate for its genial and
bracing influences, and our people
should be celebrated in no less degree
for their culture and refinement. To
justify this assertion, it is not necessary
for the people Of this locality to make
new articles to exhibit, but simply
place on exhibition those they have.
To-day there are in the city Of Vicks-
burg works from the pen. the chisel,
brush and the needle Of sufficient merit
to do credit to the most enlightened
people Of any age, and products from
the farms of Warren county, that for
diversity, would rival those Of many
nationalities possessing these virtues,
and advantages and failing to present
evidences of them at a time when our
State is about to enter into a~friendly
competition with her sister common
wealths, there to be rated, not by what
she could have exhibited, but by that
she has on exhibition, would look as
though we were deficient in that ele-
ment which prompts US to say, when
the interest Of Mississippi are at stake,
that "this is my own my native land"
The success of the Exposition is, it
is safe to say, beyond doubt; that Of
Mississippi is in a great degree DEEPEN
dent upon the interest manifested by
her citizens.
Indications from many parts Of the
State are very lattering and l look
with hope TO the enterprising people Of
Warren, and the city Of Vickshurg to
have their section so represented as to
do credit both to them and their State.
Respectfully,
RAMSEY WHARTON.
