CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has seme affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. AT times symptoms
of indigestion are present, as tiatulency, un-
easiness of the stomach, etc. a moisture,
like perspiration, producing a very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, aliaying the intense
ito hing, and affecting a permanent cure.

When the original homestead law
went into effect, vast tracts Of rich
lands in Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and elsewhere were rapidly taken
up by white settlers. at that time, and
for long years thereafter, the blacks, by
reason OF their dependent condition,
their lack Of means and lack Of correct
information, were wholly unable to
compete for any part Of the donation,
till all Of 1t that was valuable had been
absorbed.
Now. let congress provide for the sur
vey, and by suitable restrictive legisla-
ton, for the homestead settlement of
Oklahoma by the eolored people erclu-
siUely. The right Of congress to do this
cannot be successfully questioned, and
the justice Of such disposal IN apparent

In the Kansas Legislature this week,
the senate passed "a concurrent resolu-
ton memorializing congress to offer for

ting that the lands in question were Of

" representatives would not concur in

nently wise and proper, we think. In
the proceedings, Mr.. McNeal Of Barber
n quoted as saying that he once thought
such action should be had; but he now
believed that lands before thought to DO
almost worthless will nearly all be taken
up by actual settlers. This process is
now going on rapidly. The toughest of

There may be time when a residue OF

lie taken for actual settlement, but that

Without attempting any justification
Of JEFF. Davis or his policy as president
Of the Southern Confederacy, we must
say that a great deal Of unnecessary
abuse is being heaped on the old man
just now. Our Kansas legislature this
week made asses of themselves by pass
ing a lot Of resolutions that were unnec-
essary. 1t appears that with other state
commissioners, Frank Bacon, Of this
state united in an invitation to JEFF.
Davis to assist in receiving Liberty Bell
which was transported TO New Orleans.
The Kansas legislature on Monday
passed the following foolish concurrent
resolution:
WHEREAS, On the 18th day Of Jaru-
airy, 1885, Frank Bacon, commissioner
of the state Of Kansas at the Worlds
exposition then and now being held at
the city of New Orleans, La, Joined
with certain other commissioners in ex-
tending All invitation To Jefferson Davis,
late president of the southern confeder-
acy 10 participate in the excursion for
the reception Of the Liberty Bell, and
WHEREAS, On the 18th day Of Janu-
airy, 1885, said Frank Bacon joined with
others in doing honor to that arch trail
tor, Jefferson Davis, coupling his rame
and presence with the name and pres
cnce of that sacred emblem at the expo
siticp at New Orleans; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY the house of represen-
tatiycs, the senate concurTing therein,
that I'm jOinlrg in the invitation to the
representative Of rebellion and human
slavery, Jefferson Davis, to take part In
the excursion an at the reception of
the Liberty Bell, I'm doing honor To the
greatest foe tO human llLeTtY with which
the country has ever been cursed, said
Frank Bacon misrepresented the senti-
ment OF all the people Of Kancas and
outraged their feelings Of tender regard

Edward FenlOn, prominent stock
man and manager Of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Live Stock company, in re-
cent interview speaking of the proposed
cattle trail, said:
From the information Ihave don't
believe the state Of Kansas will allow
the Texas people TO drive through that
state. The Texans are in very bad
state. don't think the Kansas peo-
pie will allow them TO drive through
there this year. They may make
proposition to change the trail next
year so that they won't want, under any
circumstances, hurt either Kansas or
the Indian Territory, apd in the mean
time ask a suspension for this year of
the quarantine against them in Kansas
but am afraid they won't succeed
even in that. There was very serious
loss in Kansas last year from Texas
fever, and the feeling against Texas
drives Is very bitter. am inclined to
think that If necessary precautions are
taken the drive can be made with very
little loss. The bill proposed in congress,
IL carried out, will result in great benefit
TO Texans and no greatinjury to the bal
ance Of the cattle country. The greatest
obstacle the Texas people have to oyer
come will be the bitter feeling Of the
Kansas people. Heretofore they had rid
den rough-shod over the Indian Terrific
~ and Kansas and have engendered a
good deal OF bad feeling on account Of
their own bad behavior. The men who
have suffered severe losses are espec-
tally opposed to them. As manager Of
the largest cattle company in the In
dian Territory l am willing to make
any concession that will enable them to
make their drive lift can be done with
out entailing heavy losses on their
neighbors. The solution Of the Texas
problem should be brought about by
compromise and by persons interested
rather than by legislation. If Texas
people show fair spirit they may be
permitted to Cross Kansas this year.
there Is no disposition on the part
Of Kansas people to act unjustly they
are simply disposed. to protect them
selves"
What news have you from your
ranch?" -i
This has been the seYerest winter
from the Yellowstone to the Gulf of
Mexico that has been known for sew
ersl years and the cattle are suffering.
