The Young Men to the Front.
Jackson Tribune and Sun.

Jackson Tribune and Sun.
The young mems right to assist in
shaping the policies of government
and naming the men who are to fill
positions Of trust, is recognized by the
sage fathers, who are willing that
their sons should have a voice in poll
teal matters. If this right is to be
denied, the fathers may seriously
ask, "why educate my son, if he is
to be a nonentity in political mat
ters" Bob Taylor is clearly the
candidate of the young men, and is
Endorsed by all the old men who are
not tied to the old and dangerous Or
der of things. There are men now
seeking to be perpetuated in Office,
who hold their places, not by virture
of services to the Democratic party,
but by appeals to passions and pre-
JUDGES which are deadly to true pro-
gress. If the signs of the times augur
anything, numbers of "war horses"
are done neighing in public places.

Constitution Of the United States,

grievously violated and trampled

How to Build a Railroad.
Omaha Bee.

Omaha Bee.
The modern way of building a rail-
road on nothing and making it pay
ing enterprise for the projectors, is
well illustrated in the case of the
Arkansas Central narrow guage road,
costing, for the 4S miles constructed
and equipped, less than $4,000 a
mile. From the counties and cities
along its line the owners obtained
bonds and grants to the amount of
nearly 100000. The State gave it
$260,OOO for arranging that the bed
could be utilized for levee purposes,
and lent it 81 100000 worth of State
bonds. The road was then bonded
for $2,5OO,0OO, and a considerable
amount of stock certificates issued.
Then the road made default in pay
ment of interest, and a receiver was
appointed who made a liberal issue of
certificates for completing and repair
ing it. Then it was sold at auction
and bought in for $40, 900 in receivers
certificates, purchased at a heavy dis
count. Any syndicates, desiring to
60 into the railroad business should
cut this out for future reference.

BLOOD AND MONEY

The blood of man has much to do in shap-
ing his actions during his pilgrimage
through this troublesome world, regardless
of the amount of present or expectant money
in pocket or stored away in bank. 1t is q
conceded fact that we appear as our blood
makes us, and the purer the blood, the hap
pier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are
hence the oft repeated interrogatory, Chow
is your blood" With pure streams of life
giving fluid coursing through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical frames,
our morals become better, our constitution
stronger, our intellectual faculties more
acute and grander, and men, women and
children happier, healthier and more lovely.
The Unprecedented demand, the unparel-
leled curative powers, and the unmstakable
proof from those of unimpeachable charac-
ter and integrity, point with an unerring
finger to B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as
for the best, the cheapest, the quickest and
the grandest and most powerful blood reme-
dy ever before known to mortal man, in the
relief and positive cure of Scrofula, Rheu-
matism, Skin diseases, all taints of blood
poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc. r rF vi
B. B. B. is only about three years old-a
baby In age, giant in power-but no reme-
dy in America can make or ever has made
such q wonderful showing in its magical
powers in curing and entirely Graduating
the above complaints, and gigantic sales in
the face of frenzied opposition and would.
be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduced
are pouring in upon us, speakingin its loud
est praise. Some say they receive more
benefit from one bottle OF B. B. B. than they
have from twenty, thirty and fifty and even

BOB TAYLOR.
His Traits of Character by One Who
Knows Him.

Louisville Times.
Bob Taylor, who has been nominal
ed by the democrats for governor of
Tennessee, is most admirable and a
most lovable man. A gentleman who
is well acquainted with him, and as
ISOLATED with him in the forty-sixth
congress, says that he never heard
Taylor utter word during the term
that might not have been spoken
with perfect propriety in the presence
of a pure woman. While one of the
most genial men living, he is very
temperate, and withstood all the
temptations, of the national capital
without becoming ensnared in their
tolls. His father was congressman
in former days, and Landon C. Hay
mes, the famous orator, was his uncle.
Young Taylor is no mean orator.
His style is very dramatic and his
eloquence most fervid, though his
language is rather ford, a defect that
attaches to most mountain orators.
His canvass for congress in 1878 was
phenomenal one. By sheer elo-
quence he overcome a majority Of
1000. 1t is the fashion tosay that Tay-
lor fiddled his way to congress, but, the
truth is he spoke his way there. His
brother A. A. Taylor, is the republi-
can nominee against him. They are
well matched upon the stump, and
if they make joint canvass of the
state, it will be as exciting as the Gel
ebrated contests between Polk and
Jones, and between Andy Johnson
and Gentry and Henry. Though op-
posed to each otherin politics, theaffec-
ton the two brothers have for each
other is most. tender. Their lives have
been beautiful, and no one who knows
them apprehends that anything will
be said or done by either of them dur
ing the canvass to estrange them.
