My Crutches Gone.

have suffered from rheumatism for seven or eight years. For one year was compelledto use crutches. I tried varions remedies, especially every sort of liniment, but none of them did ne any good. l saw in the newspapers an advertisement of SWift's Specific for rheumatism, and resolved 10 try it. have taken four bottles. Alter l had taken it awhile I was enabled throw away my crntches. l commenced using Swlft's Specific last November, and have had no further use for crutches, and only suffer little at times now, and would not have suffered at all if l had continued to take the medicine. My experience with liniments is that they are of but little benefit, and that only temporary. The dis. ease is in the blood and must be eradicated, and that is the reason l took s. s. s. It is the best blood purifier 1 ever used.

The Youngest Can Use It.

My child, when about one month old was afflicted with dreadful breaking out on the side of his face. I took him to the doctor, who did not think there was much the mat. ter, but tho child continued to grow worse. The little fellow was suffer ing so much and was so fretful that we had no rest night or day. We consulted other physicians and they did what they could, but brought no relief to the little suffer. I tired everything at hand or that l could hear of, but without the desired ef- feet. About this time I saw an ad- vertisemcnt of Swift's Specific. It was recommended for skin diseases. purchased four bottles. The first bottle did him a great deal of good. After using the third bottle the dis ease entirely disappeared, and the child is now perfectly we'll. would recommend s. s. $. as. a household remedy, as It has brought both health and happiness to my own.

 The Baptist brethren in their con vention at Augusta seem to have a mighty poor opinion of women as sitting members, but they esteem them highly as collectors. They are handy to have around in church matters when money is wanted.
 At this distance there is nothing to show that if peace is maintained between Russia and England now It will be on anything like a lasting basis. The Bear IS on the road southward and he will get to the sea in time unless the Lion meets and whips him back. Indeed, it is sad on good authority that the Russian engineer staff has already selected a port on the Arabian Gulf near the frontier of Sinde. It is called Son meanee, and is mere hamlet now, but il Russia gets it, it will be made an important seaport town.
 The secret of Senator Eustis' op- position to the Administration is to be found in the fact that President Cleveland declines to be made a party to Ring Rule" in Louisiana. Senator Eustls is one of those old time partisans who think the coun- try was made for politics and polite ians, and that Presidents duty is simply to cater to the wants of his party He is unable to understand how any one can adhere to the idea of country first, party afterwards. The only proper use of party is to advance the country's interests. That Senator Eustis will havesa chance to learn during the next four years.
 The report of the Naval officers lately in Panama as to the outlook of the De Lessep's canal show rath- CT lugubrious prospect ahead of that scheme. It is evident from their ob- servation that it will be nearer ten years than three when the last blow is struck--if such a thing ever oc- CUTS. The excavation is about double the original estimates. the original cost was put down at $l20,- 000,000 and the work Tn sight makes it sure to cost at least $350,000,0 ,000. The upshot of It all is that the com pany will be bankrupt before it gets through, the French Government will come to it's aid as England has to the aid of the European creditors of Egypt, and then will come diplomat ic contingencies in which our Gov ernmcnt's recent action on the 18th mus will be valuable precedent

 senator Warner Miller. of New York returns from Southern tour convinced that the election of a Democratic President is regarded in the South as an eradication of the old lines of strife, and is there fore having n most wholesome effect in that section. The wholesome eff feet on both sections IS so apparent that all intelligent Republicans rec ognize it, and all patriotic Republi- cans are thankful for it.
 The salary of the occupant of the White House is never applied for by the President, but is made out in the form of voucher at the end of each month, and signed by the Treasurer of the United States in regular order with hundreds of other vouchers. The Private Secretary receives the money, hut the Department requires the receipt to be signed by the Pres ident personally. The monthly voucher is $4, l66.66; but for March Mir. Cleveland drew $3,SSS.S7 and Mir. Arthur $277.79.
 The Mormon brethern put It on pretty steep in their appeal ito the President and people of the United States The fact is, the Edmunds law was not framed, particularly, to please them On the contrary, it was designed to break up, if possi- blc, the practice Of polygamy, ard compel the "Saints" to live as the sinners do, in the bonds of decency and Christian charity. The fact that the law IS found to pinch the saints is evidence that it is accom- plishing it's purpose.

said that a tariff raises the price OF
labor to the extent of the tariff duty inn
posed upon the article. If such were the
case, then it would be the easiest matter
in the world to enhance the price of any
article to any amount. If protection bene-
fits the laboring man as it is claimed, and
that it is chiefly for his benefit, the ques-
ton necessarily arises whether the con-
sumner is not entitled to as much consid-
alton as the producer. The boycotting
movements Of such organizations as the
knights of Labor are but the doctrines OF
protection applied to the labor market,
for these organizations say to employers
that they can only purchase labor in a
particular market; and that is just what
protective tariff says to the consumer.

Virginia's New Senator.

Senator-elect Daniel was born at Lynch
burg, Va, September 5, 1S43. His father
was Judge Of the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals. He was student when Virginia
passed the ordinance of secession. Two
days later he volunteered as private in
the cavalry. On May l, 1861, he was
commissioned second lieutenant of the
Twenty-seventh Virginia Infantry. He
rose to the rank of major, after much
hard fighting and many wounds. AS an
officer of the staff of General Jubal A.
Early he was present at the battle of the
Wilderness, where, May 6, 1864, he was
shot from his horse, his thigh crushed by
the ball.
After the war he began the study of
law, and later took the law course in the
University of Virginia. He has written
two text books. one on Negotiable In
struments,'' and the other on "Attach-
ments,' and commands a profitable
practice.
Major Daniel has served in both houses
of the Legislature in Virginia, and was a
candidate for the Governorship of the
State in 1881, resigning his seat in the
Senate for that purpose. He is a ready
debater, and is in great request as pub
lie speaker.
Shortly after the war the scar-marked
and crippled veteran married lady of
Lynchburg. His home is about mile
from that place. He is the father of sew
eral children.
Mr. Daniel will not take his seat in the
United States Senate until March 4, 1887.

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

The death of Vice-President Hendricks
has brought on a general discussion of
the question OF Presidential succession.
The Constitution makes but partial pro-
vision for succession to the President in
case of his death or disability. The sue
cession in that case devolves upon the
President, and in case of his death
or disability upon the President of the
Senate pro tempore. In this latter
case the President of the Senate would
be President until a new election
could be had. To avoid the necessity for
this is now the aim of the various
methods suggested, which are to provide
for the succession. The plan which
seems to meet with most general accept
ance is that providing for the Presiden-
tial succession through the Cabinet, the
Secretary of State having the preference
on the death of the Vice-President, and
SO on down. This is perhaps as good a
plan as will be suggested, and it has the
great merit of continuing the Admins
tration in the hands of the party re-
turned to power. This would provide for
the continuance of the policy inaugu-
rated by the party to whom the
administration of public affairs
had been entrusted. To this
plan it may be objected that
the Constitution says that the Presi-
dent OF the United States must be ma
tive born citizen, and it might happen
that the members of the Cabinet would
not all be native born citizens. That is
true, but in that case the Secretary upon
whom the succession would otherwise de-
volve would be under disability, and
the succession would go to the Secretary
next in the order OF succession. That an
entire Cabinet would be foreign born, and
thereby incapaciated to succeed, is con-
tingency so remote that it scarcely calls
for any consideration. 1t is an important
matter and should receive that consider
alton to which its Importance entities it,
and it is better that it be provided for in
a time of peace and prosperity than to
postpone it to an uncertain future.

Didn't Want to Interview Him,

Judge Albion w. Tourgee relates this
story in the Pittsbarg Dispatch: cit was
in Cleveland, and Henry Ward Beecher
and 1 were stopping at the Kennard
House. He was to lecture there the
next night, and chanced to room right
acrsss the hall from me. Sam Payne
was reporter on the Press He was a
green-looking country boy who hadn't
been on the paper long, and about as
rough and uncouth-looking citizen as
you could well find Sam went up to in
terview Beecher. My door was partly
open and saw him go up to Beecher's door
and knock When the reverend gentle
man opened the door Payne presented his
card. Henry Ward glanced at it and said
enormously: No, can't be interviewed
l am tired and busy, and can't be an
noyed with any interviewing The re-
porter looked at him moment, and re-
piled with dignity, We'll, Mr. Beecher,
l don't want to interview you l heard
that you were in town, and knew that
you would feel hurt if gentleman of my
prominence didn't call as a matter OF
courtesy Then, with an elaborate bow
he walked away. Beecher didn't say a
word, but stood and watched him until
he went out of sight,

adultery are proper, and will apply to all
who are guilty of that crime.
We do not like sec. q of this bill.
This section confers upon United States
commissioners all the powers which JUS
tees of the peace have, and for this there
is no necessity whatever, while it is
another very important legalization OF the
doctrines of Capitalization. Whether
such commissioners would have power to
remove cases from justices courts to
their own is question. 1t is possible
that they would.
This new bill is the most radical ofany
vet introduced for the solution of the
Utah question, but whetherit will become
law remains to be seen. The temper of
the country is such on this Utah question
that almost any legislation on it is apt to
be passed, and this temper of the country
together with the fact that each new
measure is more radical than the last
should make the people of Utah pause
and reflect. A wholesale and persistent
violation of the law of the land is con-
tinual invitation to war.
