The Verdict of The Press.

The press of both parties is now dis
cussing the telephone scandal with vigor
and diffuseness. This is as it should be.
1t is something more than a political
scandal; it is a National disgrace. The
distribution of gift stock among Senators
and Congressman at a time when legisla.
ton affecting the interests of the enter
prise was before the Committees on Pat.
ents is a %scandalous proceeding that re.
quires a searching Congressional inquiry.
The extraordinary measures adopted by
the Departments of Justice and the Int
rior to test the validity of the Bell patents
when the Attorney General and promi,
nent bureau chiefs are large stockholders
in rival telephone companies, demand i'm
mediate Executive action, or if that be
withheld, a thorough investigation by the
House of Representatives with n view TO
impeachment.
The majority of our Democratic friends
stop short Of these conclusions, but there
are few of them that venture to defend
the Attorney General. Indeed, there is a
general recognition of the fact that his
connection with the Southern telephone
ring is so d~iscreditable as to render his
resignation absolutely necessary. On the
whole, we are inclined to congratulate
the Democratic press upon its fearlessness
and independence in rebuking prominent
officials of its w party. 1t has approach,
ed the subject with marked reluctance
and deliberation, but when it once cot at
the scandal, it discussed it with boldness
and i~ncisivc vigor.
The verdict Of the Democratic press,
with few dissenting voices, is that the
Acknowledgement must either sell his
stock or resign. The verdict of the Re
publican press is that he must either be
removed or impeached. The verdict of
every journal of influence and character
is that the telephone scandal requires a
thorough, searching, impartial investiga.
ton at the hands of Congress, whether
the Attorney-Genera stays in or goes

4 YOUNG LADy'S LETTER.

Ahh' July - iNOf'
DEAR UNCLE:-There is u lady living
here, Mrs. --, who has had catarrh for
many, many years. | have known she
had it for Is or 20 years, and my father
once doctered her, as she was then a ten
ant on our place. For the last y years
she has been bed-ridden, the catarrh or
cancer, the numerous physicians have
never decided which,. during the q years
in the bed, had eaten all the roof of her
mouth out, She was so offensive no one
could stay in the room; she could not
eat anything, but could swallow soup if
1t was strained. She gave up to die, and
came so near perishmg 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 one ptrticle. Come, see for
yourself, and look at her head and
mouth. She is n truthful woman, talks
very little, but she can tell you of the
many horrors of the disease. Come and
see her.
ooh, might | kiss those eyes of fire,
Ten thousand scarce would uench desire,
Still would ! steep my lips in bliss,
And dwell an age on every kiss.
The young dude needs something for
his blood; he is utterly 100 fresh. b. b.
B. Is the best thing for HIM, because one
bottle will cure him. But that dude is
not all alone in his terrestrial %glory-not
by a jug full Many others are con.
sidera6ly 'rattled' just now about that
blood poison business, but B. B. b. will
cure for the least money and in the short
est time. Tho boom is coming. Purify,
purify.
Next to a walking match is Mr.. r. r.
Saulter's walking fifteen miles in one
day, fishing and hunting. He lives al
Athens. Ga is IS years cid, has had a
running ulcer on his leg 50 years-ona
half a century and previous to that day
had not walked over half a mile per day
for 30 years. Mr., Saulter, the Banner.
Watchman and Rev. DR.. Calvin johnson
say that B. B b. cured the nicer and re-
stored him.
ooh. Josie said little gleeful Maud,
1--WE are going 10 have some honey made
at our house, "How do YOU know"
asked Josie. because mamma sent the
servant after three BIS. and | don't know
what bees are good for only to make
honey"

THE industrial growth of the South, a
disclosed by the statement of The Balhs

highly encouraging. 1t not only gives
reason to believe that the industries of
this important section are being rapidly
developed, so that it will hereafter con-
tribute more largely than ever before to
the prosperity of the whole country. But
it also strengthens the hope that the
Southern States may ere long come to
understand their own interests in respect
to the financial policy Of the Government.

started at the South means moro votes

party has steadily adhered, and against

Is his disregard for the law Postmaster
General approaches the sublime. He
put his w Interpretation on the direc-
tions of Congress in regard to paying
the American ocean steamship lines; he
has commissioned postmasters whom the
law commanded should not be commits
stoned; and nov he has coolly broken a
mail contract with a Mississippi River
steamboat company, because he thought
he could get the service performed more
cheaply. Economy is indeed a beautiful
thing; but it is barely possible that the
damages which the steamboat company
may recover for this performance will
make Mr.. Vilas's cours anything but
inexpensive. Sublime above the law as
the Postmaster. General is, he should re.
member that there is only one step down
to the ridiculous, and that a Congress.
sional investigation might make him
take it.

WE are not yet at the end of the first
year of q Democratic reform Admins
tration. Aside from the incredible
laundering of the State Department, three
great scandals already bring discredit
upon the President, His Attorney Gen.
cral, and host of other prominent of
ticers selected by him, are found to have
accepted stock in a company for services
which they were expected to render in
making themselves and their associates
rich, His Secretary of the Navy has
been forced to confess that he had no
justification for forcing the bankruptcy
of a ship builder who had deserved the
gratitude of the country. His Post.
master-General is a~rraigned for open and
fragrant violation of a law regarding the
foreign mail service, and has been de.
tected in putting men into office illegally.
This is not a good beginning. If the
President does not want his Administra.
ton to become a stencil in the nostrils
even more hurtful to the Democratic
party than the Legislative scandals in
Ohio, he will begin to purge it at once.

Gratis, dissatisfied with President Cleve.
land, call for election Of 4 president and

Texas, favors this scheme, and we should
think he would. BY rolling up 135, 900
majority for Cleveland last November,
Texas gave the Democratic national
candidates a small popular majority in
the United States. As Democratic ma.
%jorities can be made any size to suit down
there, and can be added to indefinitely in
the other Gulf and South Atlantic States a
popular vote for president and vice-presi-
dent would simply mean a nominal

Nipped in the Bud.

For eleven years | have suffered from a
canCerous sore on my throat. AT times it
became very angry in appearance, dis
charging large quantities of matter and
giving me intense pain. | used the ordi-
nary household remedies only, and it
would dry up and a scab would form over
it, then it would increase in size again
and trouble me greatly, and finally break
and discharge freely. Thus for years it
has been annoying me. A lancer doctor
in Atlanta decided it was a cancer, and
wanted to cut it out. | could not master
courage to let him use the knife on my
throat. About that time saw the adver-
tiSemcnt of Swift's Specific, and the
statement Of some One suffering like my
self. | determined to try it, and in May,
1894, | commenced its use. My general
health began to improve from the first. |
wa unable to eat anything scarcely, and
became quite feeble; but my appetite in
creased, and | can eat anything now.
The sore has healed up and | am in per-
feet health. The only sign is a small red
spot about the size of a pea, but it gives
me no pain. Am sure that a few bottles
more will even remov that. 1t has done
more for me than all other remedies used
