INFLAMMATORY RHETIMATISM

INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM.
l have been afflicted for nearly four.
teen years with the severest form of in.
famrZatory rheumatism. For large
portion of the time was confined to
bed, and suffered the most excruciating
pain, my legs badly swollen. My case
was thought incurable by the physic-
ians, and have often hoped that death
might ensne and relieve me Of pain.
Last month secured at the suggestion
of u friend, one dozen bottles of SWift's
Specific. and after using about six bot
ties am entirely free from pain, the
first time in nearly fourteen years. My
joints are becoming more supple and
the swelling gone. am ready to an

the case. G. W. ST. CLAIR.

good advice: eff you can think of any
thing that can be done to beautify and

keep your capital MT home; patronize

always get your work done in your own

The Northern Democratic papers,
with their usual asinine incapacity to
understand progressive political ideas.
are demanding to know what the Re
publicans are agoing to say about the
fact that the nomin es of both parties
for governor of Virginia were distin
guished rebels. Mr. Wise, the Repub
lican standard bearer, is a son of Gov
Henry A. Wise; Fitzhugh Lee, the
Democratic nominee, is a nephew OF
Robert +. Lee. Both men served in
the rebel army.
Lee, who has been educated ut West
Point, left the United States army t.
accept position i'm the Confederate
service, and become distinguished as a
cavalry commander. He has never
shown any ability in civil life, and is
not supposed to have any IF the quail.
ties that would make him prominent
as n political leader. His politics ir
the same that they were twenty years
ago. He is Virginia Bourbon, and
has all the stubborn incapacity of his
class to comprehend the logical results
of the war He is a reactionist, and
his sole claim to recognition by his
party Is his fame as rebel leader. He
stands on platform which calls upon
Democrats to ''preserve the freedom OF
suffrage which they have succeeded in
establishing. This phrase, "freedom
of suffrage" means, in plain English.
the freedom of Virginia Bourbons to
stuff ballot-boxes, to prevent negroes
from voting, to falsify the count OF
ballots, to do ANYTHING and everything
ia perpetuate reactionary Bourbon
rule in the Old Dominion. Lee repre-.
sents this, and no more.
Dir. Wise represents the progressive
element among Virginians. He is one
of the men who accepted in good faith
the decree of the sword, to whose
arbitrainent tie South appealed when
the control of the national admins
tration was taken out of its hands in
1860. He recognized the changed
status of things which was the result
of wiping slavery out of existence, and
has come to the front as a progressive
instead ola reactionary leader. Since
the War he has been mucb I'm pol,I;o
life, and has gained a reputation as a
bold, energetic, sagacious and honora-
BILE political leader, and is one of the
best public speakers In the Old Domin-
ion. His election will mean the per.
manent retirement of the Bourbon
Ku-Klux minority from power, and the
extension of free ballot and an hon
est count of his vote to every citizen,
white or black, no matter how humble
he may be.-Bldde.

An Apothegm.

Robert ColIyer tells us of one of the
best and wiSest things Gen. Grant
ever said. Men are more scarce than
heroes, remarked the soldier, with the
brevity which is begotten of wit.
The hero is apt TO be linear-he goes
further in one direction than any of
his fellows; but the man who, accord
ing to Grant, is scarcer than heroes, is
one who is great all round the circum-
ference of duty and achievement.
1Ieroism is ometimes born of single
noble impulse; true manhood is the
calm result of strong convictions. Grant
was right. ~ y Herald.

The people have read with gratifica-
ton Gen. Grants exalted opinion of
Gen. Lee as a commander. Grants
opinion of Lee is happily supplement-
ted by Lees of Grant. This is now
for the first time given to the public by
DIR. Swift, as coming from a member of
Lees staff. In the presence of Gen.
Lee an officer spoke slightingly of Gen.
Grant. Gen. Lee looked into the crit
les eye steadily and said
"Sir, your opinion is a very poor
compliment TO me. We all thought
Richmond. protected as it was by our
splendid fortiiactions and defended
by our army Of veterans, could not be
taken. Yet Grant turned his face to
our capital and never turned it away
until we had surrendered. Now have
carefully searched the military records
of both ancient and modern history,
and have never found Grants superior
as n general. doubt if his superior
can be found in all history"

Believing that the people of Michi-

zens would encourage movement for

of Grant memorial i'm Detroit, pro-
viding sos, 900 was raised by popular
subscription, and to give 81 900 provid-
ing $50, 900 was raised by the people.
Their suggestion received the cordial
Endorsement of the press. but nothing
has been done as yet to perfect an or
gnnization of public spirited citizens to
assume the direction of the move
ment. Without organized effort moth
ing can be accomplished. The sug-
gestion has been made that the Grand

work. Mabley & Go. will be glad to
aid the soldiers Of Michigan to secure
a fitting testimonial to the illustrious
