DEAR UNoLE:-There is a lady living
here, Mrs. -, who has had catarrh for
many, many years. | have known she
had it for 10 or 20 years, and my father
once doctered her, as she was then a tcn-
ant on our place. For the last ~ wears
she has been bed-ridden, the catarrh or
cancer, (the numerous physicians have
never decided which,, during the "a years
in the bed, had eaten all the roof of her
mouth ont, She was so offensive no one
could stay in the room; she could not
eat anything, but could swallow SOU if
it was strained. She gave up to die, and
came so near perishlng all thought she
would die. Her son bought B. b. B.,
Botanic Blood Balm, and she used sew.
eral bottles, which effected an entire cure.
She is now well and hearty. | have not
exaggerated n particle. Come, see for
yourself, and look at her head and
mouth. She is a truthful. woman, talks
very little, but she can tell you of the
many horrors of the disease. Come and
see her.
"Oh, might kiss those eyes of fire,
Ten thousand scarce you'd quench desire.
still would | steep my lips in bliss,
And dwell an age on everv kiss.

his blood; he is utterly too fresh. B. b.

bottle will cure him. But that dude is
not all alone in his terrestrial glory-not

siderably ''rattlcd' just now about that

Mr.. A. p. W., of Hampton, Ca, has
recently emerged from one of the most
remarkable cases of Blood Poison on
record. His body and limbs had no less
than four hundred small ulcers-his
bones tormented him with pains-his ap
petite failed-his kidneys presented
frightful symptoms-and all doctors and
100 bottles of the most popular Blood
Poison remedy failed to give him any re-
lief. He secured B. B. b., the concen
trated quick cure, and five bottles healed
the ulcers, relieved all pain, cured his
kidneys, restored his appetite, and made
him a healthy and happy man. Any one

h
WE notice that the call for the meeting
of the congressional committee in the
first congressional district, seems to con
template that that committee will con-
slider the question of calling conventions
for the nomination of judicial officers.
When the committee meets, it will doubt.
less consider by what authority it can
call conventions for nominating judicial
officers. That is a business with which
a congressional committee has nothing
to do.-KnoruHe Journal.
The Congressional Committee of the
First district is the creature and repre-
sentative of the Republican party, and
has always heretofore been accorded the
right to designate the time and place for
judicial conventions in this district, as
there is no other recognized agency by
which such conventions can be called.
We suggest that the Journal will have
enough to do to manage the conventions
of the Knoxville district without medling
with the affairs of the first district.
WHEN the Democratic party elected
Cleveland, Republicans expected to see
the offices pass into Democratic hands,
and had Mr.. Cleveland announced a de-
sire to have Republicans vacate, in order
that Democrats should go in, there would
have been a general acquiesence in such a
policy. But instead of this, he gave Ut
terance to a policy that his Republican
predecessors had observed under the civil
service law, that no faithful officer would
be removed IN account of his politics,
This gave offense to the leaders OF the
Democratic party, and yielding to their
charges, made in secret the heads OF Re
publican office holders have been cut Off
rs fast as they could work the political
gullotine.
The heads of Democratic office holders
appointed in violation of the spirit of the
civil service law, to succeed Republicans
removed on secret charges, are now in a
fair way to be cut off by the Senate. 1t is
said to be a poor rule that won't work
both ways.

August election, with Mr.. Long of

OF course they would he counted out.
For years and years prior to the war. the
Wings were counted out in every State
where Democracy had the opportunity.
Just q few months ago duly elected Re
publicans in the great State of Ohio were
counted out in Cincinnati by frauds and
forgeries, as effectually as they will be
in Alabama. That is nothing new for
Democracy. Counting Republicans out
is regarded in many sections as doing

The Issue Between the President and



Senator Edmunds to-day reported the
following resolutions from the Senate
committee on the judiciary, accompanied
by a long report:
Resolved, That the Senate, hereby ex-
presses its condemnation of the refusal of
the Attorney General, under whatever in.
iluence to send to the Senate copies of pa.
pers called for by its resolution of the
25th of January, and set forth in the re-
ports OF the committee on the judiciary,
as a violation of his official duty, and
sub versive Of the Fundamental principles
of government and of the good admins
tration thereof.
Resolved, That it is, under these cir
cumstances the duty of the,Senate to refuse
its advice and consent to the proposed re.
movals of officers, the documents and pa
pers in reference to the supposed official,
or personal misconduct of whom are
withheld by the executive or any head
OF department when deemed necessary
by the Senate and called for in consider
ing the matter,
Resolved, That the provisions of sec
ton 754 Of the revised statutes declaring,
that persons honorably discharged from
the military or naval service by reason Of
disability resulting from wounds or sick
ness incurred in the line of duty; shall be
preferred for appointments to civil offices;
provided they are found to possess the
business capacity necessary for the prop
er discharge of the duties of such Office
ought to be faithfully and fully put into
execution, and that, to remove, or pro-
pose to remove, any such soldier whose
f~aithfulness, competency and character
are above reproach and to give place to
another who has not rendered such ser
vice, is a violation of the spirit of the law
and of the practical gratitude Of which
the people and government of the United
States owe to the defenders of constitu-
tional liberty and the defenders of the
government, All of which is respectfully
submitted"

Mr.. CLEVELAND before and since his

posed by the Democrats since the war, it
is destined to be repudiated by the people.
