FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER,
AND ALL MALARlAL DISEASES.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever ,wheth-
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, with sper-
feet restoration Of the general health, 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, il its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, afterhaving taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic, a single dose
of .KENT's VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient. Use no other.

penis" These are the words. There is no
guaranty of national unity so long as these
prevail in the minds Of any considerable num-
Der of representative men. It may be that in
1883, or 1892, as in 1861, the South will not
consent to a peaceable change in the admins
tration. The same deathless principles
for which they went into rebellion then
will be as vital four and eight years hence.
Stripping this question of sentiment, as it has
been of resentment, it is evident that the
loyal people of this Nation have an important
duty before them. Once more the Democratic
party is in power. They are there by the mar
rowest of pluralities, but they are there none
the less, and already the ante-bellum spirit of
the South is rising. Men of the South, for
getting the terrible lesson of the war, imagine
they see the approach of the resurrection of
the sfdeathless principles" for which they
fought. One of two Things: these principles
were infamous and are dead or they were
righteous and are alive The duty of loyalty
is to inculcate the love of country, the hatred
of treason, and the despising of unrepentant
traitors, at whose instigation so many precious
lives were lost

THE DOCTORS WAR.

The regular annual or biennial doctors
row has broken out over the City Hospital,
and, of course, the Board of Aldermen has
taken up the matter. There is only one safe,
practical and sensible plan, as it seems to us,
for the conduct of the City Hospital, or of any
other public institution, and that is to employ
careful, competent, and proper per-
son for superintendent and then hold him
responsible for the management and the re-
suits. The City Hospital cannot be turned
into practice shop for all sorts of medical
colleges, and professors" and matriculants,
without serious consequences We cannot
have an allopathic day, a homeopathic day,
physio-medical day, hydropathic day,
an eclectic day, ct cetera, without turning the
whole business into burlesque. The posi-
ton assumed by the Board of Aldermen
strikes us as the perfection of nonsense. Be-
cause taxpayers may believe in one "school"
or the other is no possible reason why
the hospital should be made med
ical ''crazy-quilt' to suit the varied
opinions of the people who support it
through taxation. There may be some tax
payers who believe in the 'faith cure" Are we
to understand that the aldermen would have
the hospital superintendent open the
institution to some crank with long
prayers and a small vial of OIL to
practice in the wards, or to hold a
clinic for the benefit of the salvation armyg
This principle is not applied in any other pub
lie institution that we know of. II there is a
physician at the Insane or the Deaf and
Dumb, or the Blind Asylums, or elsewhere,
there is no pretense of taking cen
sus of the taxpayers, and gauging
the medical practice therein in ac-
cordance with the opinions Of the public.
If there is a chaplain at any one of these in
stitutions we do not understand that one day
there is an Episcopalian service the next a
Baptist, the next Presbyterian, and so on

JEFF DAVIS.


Are we not having surfeit of that senile,
soldering traitor Mr.. jefferson Davis, who
lags superfiuous, drooling his treason and his
platitudes at every possible opportunity And
strangely enough these opportunities seem to
be wonderfully increased since the success of
the Democratic party, and the presumed fact
the saddle" This garrulous old man now
stands out as representative Southern Dem
ocrat. He is the man that the Charleston
News and Courier thinks can afford to l'qook
with scorn and contempt" upon General Sher-
man. This is the man who as recently as on
Thursday last wrote two letters. in one vigor-
ously denying that he was not true to the
cause Of rebellion, and in the other congratu-
lating the ex-confederate soldiers of Maryland
that they fought Gin defense of those principles
for which their fathers successfully fought"
in the Revolution, which he accommodates to
his admirers by terlning it ''rebellion." 1t
was pitiable display of toadyism that sent
the Liberty Bell to give Davis an opportunity
to pose and blubber over it in sight Of the
whole country. What is the significance of a
Democratic victory, that this living putrefac-
ton Of disloyalty and treason is elevated to
an Importance he never attained before2 Who
is he that his every utterance must be tele-
graphed broadcast, and especially the declara-
ton that the cause of rebellion is but sleeping
or is in ambush until opportunity shall offer
for It's vindicationf What has the pride of
conscious rectitude come to, that loyalty must
truckle to this man, and be spit in the face
for the pains of seeking to placate him2
If the South be right, and there is nothing
in loyalty; if the North was murderous ag-
gressor, there ought at least to be that pride
In the Northern heart that would keep any
man from going out Of his way to LET a fallen
enemy crow over him. So far as Davis is
concerned, he is in the clutch of history, and
has won place by the side Of Benedict Arnold
Realizing his inability to escape that fate, or
so stepped in the crime of rebellion as to be
unmindful of honor, Davis never loses occa-
sion to confirm his infamy by giving utterance
to the sentiment that the vital force. the
principle of rebellion. is not dead and mover
can be; leaving it to be inferred that only the
opportunity is wanting to make the Southern
Confederacy reality. There is danger in tie
friendship Of such men. The velvet paw Of
accepting the situation contains, as has been
shown, the claws that would tear the life out
of the Union if they could. 'The South

ciples, and has dane nothing Of which 1t re-

OUR friends of the Democratic Legislature
Investigating" business than sets well on their
political stomachs. DR.. J. NJ Goar, Demo
cratic trustee of the Soldiers Orphans Home,
and who should be good authority with his
party, sent letter to Speaker Jewett, yester-
day, in which he makes specific and very
damaging charges against the management of
that institution. AS is well known, DR.. Goar
is himself under very serious charges, but he
processes willingness to meet them before
committee, and he also asserts that the
chairman of the benevolent committee of the
House proposed to give him clean bill of
health if he would quietly resign. This DR..
Goar very properly declined to do, and publicly
avows his readiness to face his accusers. AT
the ame time he makes charges that the Dem
ocrats dare not attempt to evade. AS between
DR.. Goar and the management at Knightstown,
it is family quarrel, and we do not care to mix
in it except so far as the good of the State de-
manQS but we desire TO call aCCenClOn TO the
fact that Governor Porter, in his messages
in 1883 and in 1885, especially called the at
tenticn of the Legislature to this particular
institution, and in the last one urged strongly
an inquiry to see if it were not possible to
strengthen and simplify its management.
We do not see how the Legislature can
avoid making the most complete
and thorough investigation. The effort to
make DIR. Goar a scapegoat has proven fail
ure. The institution cannot rest under the
charges he has brought, nor can the General
Assembly evade its plain and pcremptory
duty. The action of the House, however,
shows remarkable and suspicious effort to
do this very thing They are willing to in
vestigate Or. Goar, but don't want to touch the

taxed heavily; but because of maudlin argu-
ments and of supposed political influence, the
drink traffic practically escapes.
LOOK AFTER THE FLEE DEpENsEs.

If ever Legislature had plain duty before
it, coupled with present warning that might
easily have assumed horrible proportions, it is
the one now in session in this city. The dis
astrous fire at the Hospital for the Insane at
an early hour yesterday morning strips from
the Legislature every apology for delay. The
fire, while barely stopping short of holocaust,
with all the horror that such term implies,
demonstrated that the asylum's appliances for
distinguishing fires are by no means adequate.
Had they been, the fire last night would have
been cut off in its incipiency, and might have
been checked and extinguished at any time up
to the fortunate arrival Of the city engines,
There is no need of attempting to portray the
horrors that must have ensued had the
flames consumed the main building, right up to
the walls of which they burned. Of the LOO
people in the two vast structures, probably
half were in the department near which the
fire took place. From the details published in
to-day's' Journal, it is quite evident that the
asylum is in no condition to be defended
against fire. There is no sufficiency of water,
and no effective means Of raising and throwing
it, as was demonstrated on this occasion. BY
coincidence, yesterdays Journal contained a
suggestion urging that pipes be laid
connecting the asylum with the city's
water-works system, by which the supply
would be made inexhaustible, and the pressure
from the water works would be sufficient
to throw a stream to any portion of
the two structures. The Legislature of 1885
has been warned. If any fire follows its de-
structiveness will be gagged by what is done
now, or rather by what is neglected now.
Water mains should be laid at once and every
precaution taken to avoid the danger that
came SO near resulting in fresh horror yes
terday morning. The improvement should be
should BE- made at once, and made well.
Nor should the Legislature stop at this, but
order a'complete inspection of all the States
institutions, and especially asylums, to see
what is needed in the way of fire defense, and
to make the needed improvements at once.
The Blind Asylum, being within the eity, is
probably pretty well. provided for but
it should be Investigated. The Deaf and
Dumb Asylum should also be given every
possible means of fighting fire, as should the
