1t would seem to be truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the heal
ing art, that to remove the disease, not allevi-
ate its symptoms, should be the chief aim of
medication. Yet in how many instances do
we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that Hostetter' 8
Stomach Bitters is successful in so many
cases, with which remedies previously tried
were inadequate to cope, 10 attributable to
the fact that it is a medicine which reaches
and removes the causes of the various mala-
dies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever
and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism,
disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and
other maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out bv il. Ii goes to the fountain

A coon ENOUGH DOLLAR.

zone way to make the silver dollar
popular would be to make it dollar,
remarks the Philadelphia Times.
1t is too late in the day TO talk that
kind of nonsense and make people be
lieve there's an argument in it. 1t Is
the simplest thing in the world to turn
smart paragraphs on the "buzlard"
dollar and the daddy" dollar and the
"seventy.ninc.cent" dollar, but the peo.
pie of this country have got their eyes
too wide open to be deceived by'news.
paper sophistrics which they have the
patent facts in their pocket books to
contradict.
The chief objection to the silver dol
lar is the inconvenience of handling it
in large quantities as compared with
the silver certificates. This inconvc-
Nnience would be quite rs great were 1t
an cighty-nine cent or ninety.nine
cent dollar. 1t would be just as big
and bulky and unhandy, and in reality
no more of dollar" than 1t is now.
Its popularity consists in its purchasing
power, which is one hundred cents
Leave out the alloy altogether and 1t
would purchase no more. To make
the silver dollar popular" then, is not
''to make it dolllr,' for it is that al
ready, but to make silver and gold the
common basis of plentiful paper
currency.
1t is great mistake to suppose that
the silver dollar is deprecated coin.
What is there that it will not buy
equally with a gold dollar? Who
would not rs rule prefer to carry five
silver dollars in his pocket to carrying
five gold dollars Who is not glad to
get the silver dollar? Who would
rather remain idle than work for 1t?
Whose note goes to protest by reason of
its not being a dollar Who refuses to
take the silver dollar In trade? Who
is not willing TO sell goods for it, Civ.
ing exactly as many yards or as many
pounds or as many dozens as he would
for a hundred copper pennies or
twenty nickels or ten dimes or four
quarters or the gold itself?
What egregious folly it is, then, to
suggest that anything is necessary to
make" that dollar which already
serves every conceivable purpose that
any kind of dollar possibly can serve
in the ordinary transactions of life.
No legislation is needed to "mako'
it. Let the representatives of the peo.
pie in Congress see carefully to it that

MIR. VANCE's REPEAL BILL.

The bill which Mr.. Vance has intro.
duccd in the Senate concerning the
Civil Service law possesses one super
eminent and all-embracing merit. 1t
proposes no dilly-dallying by way Of
amendment or compromise, but applies
at once, and without circumlocution or
apology, the heroic remedy of repeal,
1t is not at all probable that the bill
will pass, for as other meritorious qucs-
tions not seldom are, it is seriously
handicapped by considerations of ex.
pediency. The Republicans are afraid
and tie Democrats dare not.
They imagine or apprehend that the
law. having its origin in a supposed
necessity for reform is the type or en-
bodiment of that reform in the eyes of
many of their constituents who fail, as
yet, to see that the system supposed to
be based on that necessity IS as devoid
of all vitalizing reformatory elements
as q dead tree is of sap. Neither party
is quite ready to take the chances of in
tlicting such shock upon public senti,
ment as an abrupt repeal of the law
might possibly involve; while the
party that should oppose repeal would
naturally exult in the opportunity of
building itself up on the ruins of the
other party, which making repeal au
issue, should thereby suffer shipwreck,
Such question, however, should turn
upon no uncertain points or weak hy.
potheses.
The brave, honest statesmanlike
course would be for both parties to
forego all partisan advantages, one way
or another, so far as this Legislation is
concerned, and make common cause
against a system in which neither party
has any deep or abiding faith. Such q
course would leave the assumed scnti.
ment of the country in favor of the law
"a sentiment, by the way, which is
vastly overrated-with nothing what
ever to stand on. 1t is this open.hand.
ed non political policy which the bill
of Mr.. Vance suggests, not in the in.
terest of the Democratic party, nor to
the prejudice of the Republican party,
but in the interest of justice and re-
form of the public service on common.
