Rheumatism

1t is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity Of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
1t is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.

dent of the Northern Pacific Express
Company, did not, however, favor the
movement, and proved, with facts and
figures compiled for the purpose, that
the express line was doing more than
paying its operating expenses. and
that it would be poor policy to do
away with it now,
The attitude OF the democratic
party, when it took the government,
was distinctly that Of reform. The
last democratic contest Was made
chiefly upon this issue, and the result
WIS claimed as a triumph of reform.
The democrats eagerly accepted the

come of such virtuous pretentions.
The assertion that this exposure
makes the cabinet as it is now organ
lied a disgrace to the country is not
a partisan charge, for it is made by
the two democratic journals of na-
tional character and authori!y-the
San and the World. 1t is no com
mon improperly which prompts
these great organs Of democracy to
speak out. This affair will teach
those democrats who in the past have
been SO ready to charge against the
republican party all the mi5aeed5 Of

is to find officers worthy of high trust,
and the impossibility in these times
of avoiding scandal.-Or OreGOnian.

A Chicago man has been arrested
for seizing girl around the neck

Seattle P.-I: The Secretary of
the Interior has at last ordered the
Issuance OF patents to the Puyallup
Indians in accordance with the direc-
lion of President Arthur of Oct. 23.
1884, and there is now reason to hope
that these Indians will soon receive
full title to the lands they so richly
deserve. There WAS nn sufficient
reason for delaying the issuance of
these patents for single day. The
lhuiahs were as clearly entitled to
them as men could be entitled to any
thing, yet 1t Is Low fifteen mouths
since the President ordered that they
lie issued, and the order has not been

DEAR ARGUs--No more red roses.
but any quantity of red noses have
been in full bloom here the past
week; but do not think far a moment
that this change was caused by any
over indulgence in Tom md Jerry or
other stimulating beverages. No.
sirj it was the tail end Of a genuine
Dakota blizzard, that swooped down
upon Us and caused the former to
wilt and the LITTER to bud out in such
profusion, Three days it lasted, and
ended in q regular down east snow

on board runners, drawn by dilapi
dated old horse adorned with COW
bell around his neck. to the magnif-
cent turnout of the millionaire, with
prancIng horses and chimes of silver
bells. But alas! All has vanished

High rubber boots are necessary
% wade through the streets, and if
the runners were taken off the
sleighs and the occupants used oars,
they could get along nicely, for some
OF the streets are filled with water
from curb to curb.
If the Dispatch were hero Captain
Morgan could make fortune. He
would find DIS much water here in the
streets as in Dungeness harbor at low
tide, and as she is used to bump
over the mud flats there she would
have no difficulty in getting over the
crossings BY the way, have you
heard of the latest surgical operation?
A gentleman, while shaving, had
the misfortune to cut the point of
his nose off. It was not the kind of
q nose that is suggestive OF our
Uncle with the three giided balls
for sign, Indicating his business,
nor was it one of the "petite" kind
OF which it would not require more
than half a dozen to clapboard the
side of barn with, but 4 genuine
respectable nose, or else the mistake
the doctor made would not have oc-
CURED. In his excitement he dropped
his razor and cut one of his toes oil.
Summoning his wife, she at once sent
for a doctor, and he in his haste to
mend matters sewed the end OF the
toe to the victims nose, and the point
of the nose to his toe and the mis-
take was not discovered until too late
to remedy it. Now he is going to
sue the doctor for nal practice, for the
poor man, every time he wants to
blow his nose, has to take off his
boot, and this cold weather he has to
blow his nose pretty often. How he
must suffer
Fred T. Merrill, the champion
biciclist, will visit Port Townsend in
the beginning of February. He has
accomplished the difficult feat of rid
ing only one wheel, taking the little
one off from tbs machine. Do not
fail to see him.

Our Legislators will soon wend
their silent way homward some to
the plaudits of we'll pleased constitu-
ents, others to the oblivion which
they perhaps deserve. No higher
trust comes to a man than that oi
leglalating for his fellow men; yet
some use their opportunity while
clothed with little brief authority
to barter away the interests of the
''dear people" they are supposed to
represent, in return for personal
aggrandizement. To vote and act
ONES honest convictions, with a high
and patriotic resolve to secure ii
possible the greatest good to the
greatest number, is difficult enough
at best, to stand firm under the
pressure" brought to bear upon
members of the legislature, from ont
side and interested sonrces. requires
all the manhood of our best men.
Ordinarily, the greatest danger Is in
legislating too much. So many ris-
ing statesmen" imagine they must
distinguish themselves, that they
proceed to undo everything that was
ever done before. In some respects.
the lawmakers soon to aisperse from
Olympia are an able body OF men;
comprising some of the best legal
talent in the Territory, they would
certainly compare favorably with
most any similar organization in the
country; yet their work on the whole
we think viii not be more satisfac-
tory than legislation has been hereto
fore. One serious fault the people
will find with them will be their ex-
travagance. Their appropriations
amount to something Ike S30000C.
Nothing like it has ever been heard
of heretofore. Groaning Taxpayers
will hardly be pleased TO know that
the carefully boarded baloRce in the
treasury has been wiped out" as if
by magic and debt of two hundred
thousand dollars or over saddled
upon the territory. True, the money
will be expended at home, which viii
compensate somewhat for the drain
on our territorial finances; but tie
prospect is not the brightest, after
all. Although the internal improve
meats are for the most part greatly
needed, yet We fear the territory Is at
tempting too much at once, It does
not offer as inviting q prospect toin-
tending settlers as when we were ont
of debt and had balance in tie
treasury. Economy will probably be
an issue in the next election.
