Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back. loins and lower part Of
the abdomen. causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the
kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms Of indigestion are present,
fatulency. uneasIness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, bleeding and
itching piles yield at once to the application
of DIR. BOsanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the tumors, allaylng the intense itching, and
effecting a permanent cure. Price 80 cents.

The Short Line directory is actively
at work making its financial arrange
ments to build the road. They have
received offers for their bonds that will
enable them to build it, but they desire
to secure the necessary money only on
the most favorable terms. The final
determination as to routes will soon
have to be made, and we are anxious
to see the directors respond to the re-
quests made by our friends at Waverlv.
Waverly is a good old town; it is a well
built, substantial place, that would be
OF advantage to a railroad, and it ought
not to be left three miles from a rail-
road, that can reach it almost without
any sacrifice of distance, and with no
sacrifice at all as to route. The powers
that be should weigh this matter well,
and whenever they do they will run
into Waverly.

Hon. VIM. H Letcher has consented

Hon. VIM. H Letcher has consented
to become a candidate for circuit Judge.
This puts three gentlemen in the field
Messrs. Richard Field, of Lafayette;
John A. Lacy, Of Pettis, and VIM. H,
Letcher, of Saline; all worthy and able
gentlemen. Mr.. Field is only being
urged by his friends and the bar Of this
county because they think him peculi-
arly suited to the position, by educa-
ton, temperament and steady business
habits, beside having youth and health
upon his side to justify his entry upon
a judicial career We trust that in such
a serious matter as the election of a
judge the question of locality, or dis
tribution of Office, will not be urged.
Lafayette county does not present Mr..
Field to get all office, but to secure
what it thinks the right man in the
right place.

We print in our local columns an
article taken from the Marshall, Saline
county, Progress, regarding the re-
election OF Judge Jno. E. Ryland as
criminal Judge. The Progress eulo-
glzes Judge Ryland as an able and
conscientious officer, and takes the
position that he should be retained in
the position which he so cre6itably and
satisfactorily fills. This feeling seems
to prevail in all four of the counties in
his district, and from present appear
ances the Judge will have no opposi-
ton.

ANARCHY.

The right of the workingman to quit
work when he wants to is unchallenged.
The right of another man to take his
place if he desires to do SO and has the
opportunity is equally incontestible.
When the laborer endeavors to get JUS
tice he has the sympathy of all humane
and reasonable men; but when in the
name of labor men are alta cked for
going to work, and when dynamite is
brought into requisition in America by
red handed and black-souled anarchists,
who desire nothing but rapine and
murder. then all minor questions sink
into insignificance, and the punishment
of murderers and incendiaries becomes
the paramount thought in every honest
American heart. The scenes that have
been enacted in Chicago and Milwau-
kee are awful to think of, but they do
not cause American manhood to fear
for the future. Rather in the united,
solid, unbroken public sentiment of
resentment and indignation that they
provoke do they prove the soundness
of principle which exists in the body OF
the people, and the wisdom with which
our ancestors builded when they relied
upon them to be conservatOrs of their
liberties and of the peace. The anar-
chist has no place in our civilization,
and he has been fool enough to give
the people a chance to teach him that
he has not.
In response to a question by Mr..
Hepburn, of Iowa, Mr.. Hewitt said in
the house, Wednesday :--"The demo-
Gratis of this house have a majority.
There is a bill pending which will re-
duce taxes about $25, 200, 900. 1 know
efforts have been made to prevent the
consideration and passage of that bill,
and l will go with the gentleman from
Iowa, in sack cloth and ashes. if neccs-
sary, in order to make atonement for
the failure of this house and my party
and administration to fulfill the pledges
they made to the people when they
asked for their votes and received the
verdict which placed them in power.
Yes-yes, we shall be traitors to every
obligation which we assumed, to every
duty which we + sent here to fulfill,
unless we wake up to the sentiment of
the people on this great question and
instead of imposing taxes and making
new appropriations, reduce the taxes
and tighten the load on the energies of
the people," Mr.. Hewitt's head is emf
nently level.
