ELLICOTT CITY, Md, 6 8, 1884.
Dear Sir II nave been sufferer
for long time with dyspepsia. and
have tried most everything in the
way of medicine, but nothing gave
me any relief. l procured one bottle
of your "AROMANNA," and had only
been taking it about six days when I
began to feel it was doing me good.
l told a number of my neighbors
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it is the only medicine
that will do all that it Is recommend,
ed to do. One thing about "ARo-
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing the system 1t does not weak
en-. but builds up, adds new strength
and imparts new vigor. I do not
think can say too much In favor of
it. You are free to use my name in
any way you see best, to proclaim the
merits of "ARoMANNA." 1t will pay
any sufferer to try it.

awfully wicked for the Mormons to
take such stand, and resist this heroic
reformation by legislative enactmen:

neither the moral nor constitutional

that, too, without asking leave of these

RUssIA'S NEW MOVE.

Russia having failed to scare the Re-
gency of Bulgaria into an acquiescence
in her arbitrary demands topostpone
the meeting of the Great Sobranie
which is to elect a successor to Prince
Alexander, has resorted 70 intrigue to
accomplish what 1t has attempted
hitherto through buster and threats.
Russia has bargained with Germany
and Austria that she will not occupv
Bulgaria; and those two nations have
agreed with Russia to declare the newly
elected Sobranje illegal, with the hope
that the Bulgarian Regency Will resign.
1t is well known that the present Re
gency has manfully withstood the i'm
perial demands of Russia, and that
it is not inclined to concede all
that Russia demands-in fact
is not friendly disposed to what i'm
perial Russia considers her interests.
and hence the anxiety to have this
Regency dismissed, and the newly
elected Sobranje. which partake of the
same spirit as the Regency, broken up
and a new one elected more friendly
disposed towards Russia's scheme of
towards COnstantinople
and the Mediterranean through Bull
garian Territory. But how that can
be so long as the people entertain their
present sentiments towards Russia will
be difficult to understand; and What
can happen to change that sentiment is
not yet IN sight. Unless it is that bv
pOstponing an election, and keeping
the little principality in an unsettled
state, Russia hopes that in their dis
pair the people will become anxious for
annexation TO Russia. and thus secnra

BRAVE BULGARIANs.

There can be only admiration for the
members of the provisional government
of Bulgaria. They are brave and patTi-
otto to the degree of desperation. stand
ing by their duty and their country
in the face of threats and dangers
which would appallIes noble and deter
mined men. From the first they have
conceived that their whole duty was to
their country and people, and they
could not be cajoled by promises nor
frightened by threats into turning aside
from the path of fsithfulness to causes.
Russia has done everything to coeIce
! the Regency, except to march an army
into Sofia and employ the sword and
bayonet to do what could not be in
duced by coaxing and threats; Turkey
has thrown her influence against the
brave Bulgarians, and some of the
other great powers have saught to ap-
pease and please the Gar by endeavors
to bring about a surrender of the Bull
garians to the Russian demands; but
all to no purpose. 1t is now announced
that the Russian agent in Bulgaria has
made q formal demand on the govern
ment that the meeting of the great
Sobranje for the election of a successor
to Prince Alexander be postponed.
Even this has not deferred the Regency,
which positively refused to accede to
the demand, and at once started for
Tirnova, the ancient capital, where the
sessions of the Sobranje are to begin
next Wednesday. The outcome of this
stubborn patriotism on the one side and
powerful interference on the other NAV
prove most disastrous 70 the noble Bull
gariaDs who seem to know their rights.
and to possess the moral courage at
least to defend them but whatever NAV
be the result the sympathies of the
brave and Independent everywhere will
go with the grand patriots who are so
jealous of their liberties. If Great
Britain and Germany do not protect
the Bulgarians against the grasping
Gar, it will be because those nations
ha e lost their courage and fear the
great Northern Bear.
It now looks as if the Great Sobranie. !
unless stopped by soldiers, will not only
but proceed to elect Prince
and call him to return to
the throne from which he was driven |
Dy Russian intrigue. In that event a
contest at arms cannot well be avoided.
and it will be fortunate if other powers
than Bulgaria and Russia shall escape
being drawn into the active struggle.

EVERYONE TO his PROFESSION.

1t is good ADVICE which urges the
cobbler to stuck to his last. In Denver
Rev. Myron Reed has been a most pop
Mar preacher. His congregations were
always large and the newspapers took
pleasure in publishing his sermons. as
the public did in reading them. Per
haps the gentleman was the best-lIked
preacher in the city. But the politicaI
bee got to buzzing IN his hat and instead
of casting the insect out of reach of his
ears he seems TO have nurtured it and
encouraged the bUzzing. The result is
That few days ago the Democrats of
centennial Sta nominated the Rev
Reed for Congress, and the gentlemen
has gone into the campaign with all the
earnestness and determination of one
who thinks he ought to win and who
expects to win. Mr.. Reed has posed as
a Teformer; he has found fault with
men because they drank, has denounced
trickery in and out of politics, has pro-
claimed against corruption in any of
the walks of life, has spplauded courage
and manliness, and generally has stood
forth and been regarded as
model man. This was all very well in
the pulpit; his profession was that of |
preacher, and people respected him for
II. But wnen he becomes a politician
he is not shielded by the sacredness of /
his calling; he necessarily casts aside |
the robes OF the church, and arrays
himself in a garb which incites mud
throwing. Mr.. Reeds experience has
not been unlike that of other cobbIers
who have failed to stick to their lasts.
The newspapers are fairly Kidding the
poor mGn. They are showing the falls
ity of his claims as reformer; that in
stead of being an honest reformer, he is
in need of very great re-
formation; they are charging that
while be breaches cold water he enjoys
8 cocktail with other men, and drinks
whisky whenever he wants to; he pro-
fesses great love for the laboring man,
and yet it is alleged that he grinds

that he is sailing under false

ocrsf, for before be came to Colorado
he was an active Republican, aud
sought a Congressional nomination in
Indiana; it is alleged that only shert
time before his nomination by the
Democrats he appro lched the Republi-
cans of Denver with the view 20 getting

Now aIl this may be false, and do .
Mr. Reed great injustice, but it is just
what he might have expected, and !
again teaches that the man should ,
stick to his own profession and not fly
TO those that he knows not of. 1t is

THAT THE political parties IN this
country divide the voters almost equally
is demonstrated by an examination OF
the election returns. The st. Louis
GLObe-DenlOcrat publishes the returns
from torty-four Congressional districts
two years age, from which it is seen
that the pluralities range from 81 to S37.
In some of these districts $1,000 votes
were cast, the average being 900. With
the party strength so evenly divided
political changes are not at all i'm
probable. Two years ago twenty-four
Democrats and twenty Republicans
were elected to Congress with plurali-
ties under 800 Now, if the Republi-
cans hold their own this year, and gain
members, they will have
a majority in the House of Representa-
tives. Its not probable that they will
be able to do this; gains are much more
likely to be made by the Democrats, as
the prestige goes with the administra-
but where so little difference
exists, results cannot be counted on be-
fore they come.
