Habitual constipation is not only one
of the most unpleasant, but at the same
time one of the most injurious condi-
tons of the human system, and is bnt a
forerunner of disease, unless removed.
This is usually ACCOMPLISHED by the use
of purgatives, which for the time afford
relief, but after their immediate effects
have passed they leave the system in a
worse state than before. To effect a
cure it is necessary that the remedy
used should be one that not only by its
cathartic effect relieves the Bowels, but
at the same time acts as tonic, so as to
restore the organs TO u sound, healthy
condition. This prickly Ash Bitters
will do. 1t removes the cause and res
torres health.

Almost before we know it there will
be landed aristocraey in this country
and it will not be composed of Ameri-
cans. Few realize the extent to which
the public lands of the West and South
west have been seized by English CAPT
talists, many of them of rank. In
Texas alone over 100000 acres are
owned by Englishmen and about as
much land is controlled by them in New
Mexico and Colorado, while in Kansas
not less than a million acres are held
by British syndicates. Dakota and
Minnesota have also large tracts Of land
under the same foreign control and
Florida has also parted large sire of
her territory to alien Misunderstanding

We give in another column, an ex-
tended interview with Hon. E. T. Lewis
taken from tile n. 0. States of the 18th
inst. 1t viii be interesting to the many
settlers on the Backbone railroad lands,
in this and other parishes as it gives a
full history of the matter and especially
of the manner in which the Interior
Department sought to deprive them of
their rights by hastily issuing patents
to the railroad company at the closing
hours of the late administration. Some
100000 acres were patented to the COM
pany on the Sd of March and they
claimed over 100000 more but Secretary
Lamar, Mr.. Teller's successor undoubt-
eddy forbid their issuance until he
could investigate the matter. Public
attention has been drawn to the scan
dalous conduct of the Secretary of the
Interior, and it is hoped that notwith-
standing his efforts in the interest of
the railroad something may yet be done
to rescue these lands from their grasp.
Gen. Lewis term has expired and he
will no longer be able to watch over the
interests of the settlers on these lands,
but as will be seen he had, before leav-
ing Washington long consultation
with Senator Eustis who assured him
that he intended to renew the contest.
1t is to be hoped he will do so, for
there is nothing of greater Importance
than this to many Of his constituents.
A careful reading of the interview
will enable his constituents te deter
mine for themselves whether or not
they have had in Gen. Lewis a faithful
representative in Congress.
