THE "GRANp oLO MAN.

Age "dots not dim the brilliancy Of
powers, such 9s,GLApsToNE's, nor does
custom stale the infinite resources OF a
premier so patriotic and well meaning.
There may be young men in Britain
who sneer at tho old minister's procraA-
tinatlon and alleged want Of activity,
bat the honor of the British empire is
scrupulously.maintained by. Mr.. GLAD.
STONE, and with that discretion born Of
age, he does not propose to resort to the
terrible ultimate OF war until all over
lures for peace have been exhausted,
and his country is ready at word 70
stand against the world.
All honor 10 such man. He has
now filed out the measure of his three
score years and ten and tho majority of
his gray hairs have whitened in the
public service. The younger and war
like elements OF the premier's empire
have grown impatient ut what was
termed his tiinidity and have sought to
drive him to war, but he has hewn to
the line of patriotism, has avoided un-
seemiy expressions, has held wisely
the peace of England above all other
considerations, and while preparing Tor
war on large scale has been most pa
cific and diplomatic in his utterances.
The credit of s55,000,O0O voted to him
almost without discussion, ana on his
personal utterances day before yester-
day, is most astonishing appreciation
of his conservative course by the solid
body of the English people and is an
other star in the crown of patriot and
statesman.
Through all this treublous period of
England's fortunes Mr.. GLADSTONE
has been cool, consistent and firm, and
it is doubtful if any other Englishman
could so admirably have conducted af-
fairs as this great, conservative COM
moner. Without the dash and daring
and brilliancy Of DIsRAELI, he has
been sustained by patriotic and eau
tious solidity that England will likely
appreciate in few months, while to the
long historical line of evidences OF
the value of"old men for council" he
has added one of the strongest of Illus
trations. 1t may be at times popular to
sheer at the caution and procrastination
of age, but when the times that try
mons souls arise, the conservatism and
deliberation that wait upon gray hairs
are the jewels of diplomacy and the safe.

The Dangers of Blood Poisoning,


Since the death of President Garfield,
there seems to have been an increase in
the number of recorded cases of blood
poisoning.
A few weeks ago the Rev. Noah
Schenck, d. D., OF Brooklyn, had an
operation performed on his foot, in
flammation set in and death ensued. II
a man be in good health, q wound heals
rapidly; if the blood is corrupt, it is SOW
to heal. Impure blood irritates and In
flames the whole system. 1t follows
then, if the blood purifying organs are
deranged-since every particle of blood
courses through these organs over one
hundred times an hour-in very short
time the blood poison must destroy all
vitality.
In the winter season nature demands
Matchmaking food; in the spring she sets
up cooling process; and, to accomp-
lish this, she ordains that the change
from winter to summer shall be grad
nal; if her laws were never violated,
this provision would be sufficient; they
are violated, therefore, we must fur
nish her help in this spring house
cleaning time; otherwise the seeds of
disease remain within us.
Blood is made in the stomach; it is
purified by the skin, lungs, liver and
kidneys. During long, cold winter,
the liver and kidneys are overworf ed |;
the consequence is that in the spring
these organs are Frustrated; the prost-
ration la indicated by extremely dull,
heavy feelings and a WEAKNESS which
seems to 20 to the bone; headaches,
furr"d tongue, lack of appetite, itching
and dlscolored skin, mental irritability,
depression of spirits, neuralgia, pains,
conv,ulsions, chills and fever,
"malaria.o
These little irregularities Of feeling
are Natures warming; If neglected,
disease may get the upper hand. j.
you introduce into the blood little kid
ney and liver poison, you can artiti-
cislly produce the above symptoms; 1t
follows, therefore, that TO remove them,
vitality must be restored to those blood
purifying organs. If they cannot pre-
form their work no amount of medicine
taken for other organs can have any
permanent effect In the System.
Brigadier- General ID. Il. Bruce,
business manager of the Syracuse IN. r.
Journal in 1888, found that he was not
coming through the spring In good
form; he was not sick, but only out OF
condition; to the timely use Of . few

THE OPPORTUNITY A GOLDEN

1t is a matter of great satisfaction to
the HERALD to see with what alacrity
and enthusiasm its recent utterances in
the direction of greater railroad facilities
for this city have been taken up by the
towns and localities to the west of us.
The HERALD insisted that only agita-
ton was necessary to secure the coop
that Dallas, by striking now, could OBJ
tain the assistance needed from all the
communities west Of us. Since these
articles have appeared in tho HERALD
all the towns mentioned, such as Gra-
ham, Decatur, Bowie, Montague. etc.,
have, through their accredited organs,
spoken, and in no uncertain terms, and
are unanimously of the conviction that
whatever Dallas in fairness wants from
these people can be easily and speedily
secured.
The problem is one of simple constit-
uent elements. Dallas wants and in.
deed badly needs direct railway
communication with the north
west. 1t will cost but comparatively
little money to make the desired and
necessary COL nections. All the points
to be reached are impressed with the
imp ortance AID gravity of the situation,
and are willing to do all that could be
asked of them. The gratifying fact is
further dwelt upon that connection
with Dallas is far preferable to all
others.
Will Dallas fail to do her part? AS the
most especially and directly interested
party, will this citizenship, comprising
at least $1,000, and representing many
millions in goods and property at stake,
forget its cunning to such an extent
that these desired connections will be
ignored, and the city be left to struggle
along alone as country town merely?
While yet the iron is hot and public
sentiment west of us is aglow with en-
thusissm, let Dallas utilize the possible
tiles of the hour, and distance all rivals
at one blow. All west Texas wants
connection with us, and let US not
neglect our opportunities.
