Liver Complaint.

Yes; you may say complaint =
for if there is anything makes a poor
mortal complain, it is to have his
liver out of order. The liver is the
great scavenger of the body. 1t
gathers up refuse, works it into bile,
and then works The bile off. 1t has a
heavy contract; and sometimes fails.
Then there is general disturbance.
That disturbance is quieted by taking
Browns Iron Ditters. Mr.. W. a.
Brown, of Marshalltown, Iowa, says,
"Brown's Iron Bitters relieved me of
liver complaint after other remedies
had failed"

Spauldnig For Speaker.
LOwensboro Messenger

In the election of Hon. Ignalius
Spalding as Representative in Union
county, Western Kentucky will have
man to put forth as a candidate for
Speaker, who will be the peer of any
member of the House, and who would
fill this high and important position
with great honor. lie is a man Of
the highest character and of splendid
ability; Il master in his profession of
the law; Of lofty, generous, and
patriotic view ofpublic life and duty ;
Of dignilled address; and of that
type that inspires the confidence and
respect ofall with whom he is thrown.
lie is not man who would aspire to
the Speakership merely as stepping
stone TO something higher, for lie is
positively without political ambition ;
but he would take it with the sole
purpose of discharging faithfully til e
duties Of the position. The Messen-
ger undertakes to say that, should he
be chosen, he will better facilitate the
business of the House and give more
general satisfaction as a speaker than
any man who has filled the position
for many years. Were there not
other reasons of greater Importance,
we might urge that Western Ken
lucky is now entitled to the Speak er-
ship, but we suggest the name of
Ignatius Spaulding solely on account
of his eminent qualification for the
position,

ASSISTANT SECRETARY jerks, OF the
interior department at Washington, has
decided that Edna Rose Ward, the little
daughter of Fred Ward, who, with his
brother, was killed by a mob at Devils
Lake, d. r.. April %, 1885, is entitled to
the quarter section of land for which her
father lost his life. The decision vindi-
Gates the Ward brothers in their right to
this claim, and it is important as a prece-
dent in similar land cases. By this decis-
ion it is established that an alien who has
not declared his intention of becoming n
citizen acquires no rights by settling on
public lands; the wrongful removal of a
settlers house by an adverse claimant
does not affect his rights, and the guard
ian of a minor heir of a deceased pre-
emptor can file a declaratory statement
and complete the claim.

AMONG the number of ladies who last
Saturday called at the White House to
pay their respects to the President was a
handsome, matronly looking lady, who
came from some place in the northern
part of New York. Upon taking the
President hand she said, pleasantly
Mr.. President, | will call here again
in six months, and by that time | want to
sec Mrs. Cleveland. Now, don't forget
it.
The President, smiling, said; Give
me a little more time, please. 1t takes
time To make such a selection.
Not ono moment more, said the lady
as she passed out Of the East room you
have already had time enough, and for all
know you may have already made a
selection. There should be a Mrs. Clcve-
land In this house, and ! shall want to see
her when | call again.
The incident was much enjoyed by
some other ladies who heard the CONVEX
sltion. Indeed, ii did not seem t. give
the President any annoyance, for the
smile never left his face during the recep-
ton.

EvARTs is in the senate and is a posi-
bic nominee for the presidency. Bing-
ham is back from Japan after many years
absence and has been a frequent visitor at
the state department during the past two
weeks, closing up his diplomatic business.
These two men were very conspicuous in
the impeachment trial of Andrew John
son, and Secretary Bayard, while in chatty
moods recently. has several times quoted
one of these distinguished Republicans at
the expense Of the other. 1t was in the
course of that long drawn out trial, he
says, that Evarts made one of his charac-
%tcristic speeches. His single argument
consumed a solid week. When the long
winded orator was nearing the close of
his sixth day, Bayard says, Bingham
turned and said in an undertone:
'Evarts, to make his speeches immortal,
thinks he must make them eternal. The
secretary tells this now, and chuckles over
it with an appearance of much satislac-
