KEEP IT PURE.
THE LIFE Is THE BLooD-PREvRNT DIS.
EAsE-eURGEEY THE LAST RFsoRT-A
TELLING LETTER
=. McDougall, A

Here is fact for YOU 10 think over, viz
Medical science proves that diseases, no
matter how great variety they seem 10 have,
rrocted lrCm comparatively few causes. IL
L. iGr this reason that some single medicin.s
relieve or cure so wide raOge of complaints
-s"rns of them appearing almost directly
opposite in their natures. When a medical
preparation acts az once upon the digestive
and urinary organs, and also purifes the
blood. the list of difficulties subject to its
control is astonishing. But while many
things are said to possess this power, these
which actually DO exert il are very rare.
Ii is conceded that Dr.Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y, is the most
effective preparation now in use for all dis
eases arising from foul or impure state of
the circulation. Hence it is more than likely
that if the writer of the following letter had
habitually taken "Favorite Remedy" ten
years ago, he would never have suffered
from Cancer.
Tittsfeld, Mass, March %, 1884.
DR.. ID. Kennedy. Ropdout, N. Y:
Dear SIr:-About six years ago l was
obliged TO resort to external treatment for
the removal of caDcerous growth on my
lip. On my return home, became sensible
that my blood needed thorough cleansing.
My whole system, too, required toniDg up.
While casting about for the best medicine to
do this, your "Favorite Remedy" was so
highly con m.nded 10 my hearing that / re.
solved 10 try il. ! did 80, and the result
surprised me, it was effected so quickly and
completely. i soon got over the depression
produced by the operation, and since the
"Favorite Remedy" which have continued
to take IN small doses, has kept me in such
health and strength as 1 never had before,
nor expected to have. IL Is the best blood
purifier In the world. am sure of that.
Yours, &C.,

The Blair Bill.

We have taken the trouble lately to
critically and thoroughly examine the
Blair educational bill. For years we
have been afraid Of cats in meal-tubs.
If it was certain that the Democratic
party would control the country for ten
years, we should not be so suspicious of
grants and distributions of money for
proper purposes-in fact, our constitu-
tional views have never been strait
laced, if we did not suspect some fur
Their wrong against the South by those
who have never failed to show their
hatred or some attempt to riyet a new
chain, or to cut off q Samsonan lock from
the now rapidly-growing South. We
are well satisfied that the illiteracy of
the host of made-citizens by Republi-
canism in our midst will work danger
TO our section, and that the education Of
our white population to the fullest and
highest extent becomes all important as
well as the education of the colored
children. 1t is but too true that this
Republican bill is but giving us back
money wrongfully taxed out of us, but
it is probably the only way we can
get it back. II is true that but little,
if any, kindness, favor, or good is
intended to the white people of the
South by the originators of this bill,
but as We have first been spoiled
and then taxed, we should get as near
even as we can in any lawful way.
We, as We said, have thoroughly ex-
amined this bill, and are satisfied that
under Democratic rule it cannot be
made dangerous to our interests, and
that it is as fully guarded and the State
as fully protected in their local control
as any bill containing any grant to the
States can be. We would have pre-
ferred that the whole amount should
have been set apart out Of the present
surplus in the Treasury, and not left to
future appropriations but on the whole,
We had better take the bill as it is than
loose it by attempted amendments

The kind of Capitalization we fear is
that which takes away essential rights
or powers of the States, or confers
upon the Federal Government powers
not given it IN the Constitution.
The kind we do not fear is that which
bestows benefits upon the States or the
people without either taking away rights
or imposing obligations.
The bill of Messrs. Reagan and O'ilara
is of centralizins tendency in the
worst sense. 1t assumes the existence
in the Federal Government of powers
nowhere granted in the organic law.
Ii gives to amendments of that law a
broader construction than their authors
intended or the courts have sane
toned. BY implication it forbids the
exercise by States Of authority never
questioned.
The educational bill of Mr.. Blair is
of an entirely different character. 1t
assumes no authority whatever over any
community or State, but simply over a
surplus in the Federal Treasury. 1t
takes nothing, directly or indirectly,
from the universally admitted powers
of the States. but. on the contrary, aids
the States in the exercise ofthose powers.
Its only fault-if that be faults
that it NAV create in the minds of the
people a high regard for the General
Government. And as that is nowhere
forbidden, but, on the contrary, was the
earnest desire of all the fathers, we sug-
gest that the successors of even the
strictest constructionists cannot base an
objection to the bill upon that.-Pe-
tersburg Inder-APpedt.

Party Differences.

In long article the Nashville Anieri-
can warns the Democratic party of Ten
nessee not to encourage internal disscn-
sions. We quote few paragraphs
which are applicable to Virginia
1.-The Louisville Courier-Journal,
with a few Democratic newspapers in
the South following its lead, has as
sumed the role of party organ, using
the party lash and the strongest of
epithets, instead of argument, to en-
force the acceptance of its opinions.
1--WE propose to inquire, what may
be expected for the Democratic party
if this leadership prevails; especially,
fin Tennessee, what is to become of
the Tennessee Democracy?
sin Tennessee this leadership en-
bodies an attempt to carry out one lead
ing idea that is, to create and encour-
age antagonisms inside the party"
We quote elsewhere in to-day's Dis
patch from an article in the Courier
Journal which assumes that all Demo-
Gratis who expect to continue in good
standing in the Democratic party must
learn TO keep step to the music of those
Democrats who are in favor of the in
ternal tax upon tobacco and fruit-bran-
dies. But the same paper advocates
also in effect the policy of turning out
of the Democratic party Mr.. RANDALL
and the Democrats who agree with him
in his tariff notions.
Are the Democrats Of Virginia will
ing TO encourage such suicidal policy {?

The Negro Problem.

The New Orleans Picoyune sums up
the case in the few words following
I'm so far as the black man is the
victim Of any form Of oppression he de-
serves the sympathy Of all men.
Wherever he is refused educational ia
cilities and religious advantages. where
ever he is incommoded unnecessarily as
a traveller in public conyeyances, there
is urgent demand for reform in his in
terest. We can 60 that far with Mr..
Gable, but we cannot advocate the de-
graduation Of the white race for the sake
of the questionable elevation of the
black"
That is all the negro can expect at
the hands Of the people either of the
North or Of the South. We defined
our position on this subject clearly and
repeatedly in 1883, after Governor
CAMERON SO unfortunately appointed
two negro trustees Of the public schools
Of Richmond. We don't expect Ma
bone to renew that discussion this
year, nor to repeat CAMERoN's mis-
take, nor to undertake TO justify CAME
RoN's appointments aforesaid.

Was It the Cat?

The Providence (R. H. Journal says !:
! at will be a matter Of some little in
terest TO have settled before the Hon.
John w. Daniel, Of Virginia, delivers
| his address Mt the dedication of the
Washington monument whether he de-
handed, in speech during the last
campaign, that the country must have
new flag"
Tien why does not our Pro violence
cor emporary settle the matter by an
nouncing that Major DANIEL never
made any such demand. 1t ought to
krow that such is the case, and should
not let its reputation for enterprise
suffer by getting left as it has been left.
On first blush se can only account for
its is;.;:Se 10 meet the pn2lic demand
for light, =. The ground that it is
again mai about something. When
it gets mad it lspses into state
of forgetfulness. The above para
graph refers to certain language that it
was alleged was used by Major DANIEL
in speech which he made, at Fin
castle we believe, in the last campaign.
The Journal copied this alleged Ian
guage at the time, and Immediately
went into paroxysm so violent as to
alarm us. We seriously feared that all
the good we had done it had been diSsi-
pated at one fell swoop, and that we
would have to admit that it was incura-
BILE. But we FASTENED to assure it that
Major DANIEL did not use the Ian
gusge imputed to him, nor anything
like it, and asked for denial
from Major DANIEL. This denial
came promptly, and was about as
emphatic as the English language could
make it, and although we requested the
Journal to republish it as matter of
justice to Major DANIEL, if it or any
other denial has appeared in the
columns Of that paper we have not
sect it. However, it is just possible
that DANA's cat was on visit to
Providence about the time that Major
DANIELS denial reached there and ate
up the copy Of the Dispatch containing
it. We therefore give the Journal the
benefit of doubt and again call upon
it to put Major DANIEL right before its
readers.

the suicide of Captain j. d. Burke,
editor of the Magnolia Gazette, at his
home, on Sunday. He retired on Sat
urday night in his usual spirits, no one
suspecting that he would soon kill him
self. When found next morning he
was breathing heavily, with frightful
wound in his head. He remained un-
conscious until death, and left no ex-
PLANTATION Of his crime. He was a ter
rible sufferer from rheumatism, and a
few days previously had been drinking
heavily. This had a very depressing
effect ON his system. After committing
the deed he had replaced the pistol I'M
der his pillow. He leaves daughter.
He was writer of considerable ability.
He has many friends throughout the

had brought from Fatherland young

wife. Like many bold spirits whose
descendants form the bulwark Of Ameri-
can liberty, these two young people had
disposed Of their services for term Of
years in order to get money TO pay their

sweeter. The young couple fixed upon

The Charleston Ners and Courier un-
dertakes to discredit the explicit state
ments of gentleman Of the highest
character without any just ground.
The reason given why it discredits the
sincerity Of Mr.. Randall's declarations
in favor of tariff reform is that he is in
favor of abolishing the internal-reyenue
tax-that abomination Of abomina-
tions-a system Of taxation the en-
forcement of which has inherently in it
the living seeds of corruption and ty-
ranny. In its practical operation its
officers inundated and debauched vo-
tiers on large scale, and oppressed and
tyrannized over the poor men who ope-
rate small distilleries and tobacco-fac-
tories, and for corrupt consideration
aid the large distilleries and tobacco
factories which have the means to pay
them handsomely to defraud the Gov
eminent Of its resources.
That which is the ground of the
Courier's distrust of Mr.. Randall is
that which greatly exalts him in the
estimation of more than 80 out of every
100 Virginia Democrats. Men of Mr..
Randalls stamp are not the men for us
to distrust He stood up boldly for us
against heavy majority in his State
and in the United States, when we were
in dire need Of help. and saved us in
those terrible reconstruction times from
the most CALLING acts of legislative
tyranny. He is not the sort of man for
us to distrust. We ought rather dis
trust the theorizing Free-Trader, who
favors a system Of direct taxation, which
is begotten of tyranny and born of cor
ruptiOn. because he fears that q tariff
for revenue for all the purposes of
the Government will be too beneficial
to our own manufactures, and who
seems not to understand that the pre-
sent high protective tariff needs to be
reformed by large but judiciOuS reduc-
tons in order to produce enough reye-
nue. for the purposes of the Govern
ment. We have faith in Mr.. Randalfs
ability, integrity, and courage, and we
believe he is heartily in favor of judi
cious and substantial reform, which
will greatly lower the tariff, although
he is from a State large majority of
whose people favor a high protective
tariff. He stood fearlessly firm to his
convictions against an overwhelming
majority Of the people of his State in
reconstruction times, when he battled
fearlessly for us and saved us from the
deepest humility and bitterest fate.
All honor to such man. We esteem
his practical judgment the more be-
cause he opposed and defeated the UNI
wise effort in favor of a horizontal re-
duction of the present iniquitous tariff,
which, while it lowered the tariff, but
retained the miquitous determinations
in favor of monopolies which exist in
the present tariff. 1t adopted and en-
dorsed the unjust principles of the pres
ent iniquity. only sought to reduce
it, thus basing action upon mere eXpe-
diency and not upon principle. Besides,
the effort was known to be impractical
bic. because of the opposition of the
Senate and the President. 1t was there
fore waste of time.
