our Baby.

..In March last, our baby when six months old, was taken down with what the physicians called
 .bronchitis'' Gan ordinary cold) and was very sick for two weeks she seemed to be filled deep in tue chest with phlcgm which we were unable to loosen. she could not lie down
 at all, but had to be held upright else it caused her to cough severely;
 the physician did not give her any
 relief, although the prescriptions were changed every day and some.
 times twice day; this treatment continued about ten days and we Il. nalIy determined to try a bottle oI i Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. We obtalned bottle and after giving a few doses she was relieved, breath ling easier and throwing of the phlegm and getting to sleep, getting well in a few days, and we believe we owe her life to the use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Our old
 est girl is subject to croup and has Lad several severe attacks but the Cough Remedy has brought her out all right with two good doses and we would not go over night without bottle in the house. We have great
 faith in It." Signed, Wilbur k. Wells. Lulie L. Wells, 1881 c street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Sold by w. c. Weimer. u

WE notice that many of the papers of the State are severely criticising the W. C. T. U. for the active part that organization has taken in the interest of the Blair bill A large majority of the papers of the State are in favor of prohibition and of the W. c. T. U. but they regard the Blair bill as a purely political measure affecting the vital interests Of the political welfare of the coun- try. It is not safe to tack such 8 measure on the temperance cause. We think it very clear that the pas sage and operation of the Blair bill would not assist the temperance cause in the least.

A FEW papers in the State are consistently urging what they claim to be the necessity for a constitu
 tional convention. Is is argued that the present constitution is full of glariag defects, and that the com- mon interests of the country demand q convention to remedy these de- fleets. It is claimed that there are too many elections, too many ses- sions of the legislature, too many notaries public, too much exemption in the mortgage system, and that & convention should be called to rem edy all these deficiencies. It is more than probable that a conven- ton would not make any beneficial change in any of these fundamen- tals of our organic law There is as great diversity of opinion as to a remedial system for the specified de fleets as there is as to whom the ancient Cain married. The proba- bility is that there would be such a clash of contrasted opinion that the new constitution would not be any better than the old one, if as good. Fifteen amendments were made to the last constitution and new one would have to be finished in the same way. Why not remedy the present constitution with amend ments? Besides this the cost of convention should be seriously con sidered. The cost would amount to at least $200,000 And tue consti- tutIon would necessltate a prolonged session of the legislature. More cost. Tue statutes of the State would have to be revised. More cost. This would call for 9 new di- gest. More cost. This is not an oyerdrawn statement Of the case. The State is prospering under the old constitution, our various indus tries are growing in prominence and wealth, and our institutions are building up and solidifying. We do not need new constitution.

THE Blair bill is a republican po- litical scheme of the deepest dye. It is deep, cunningly devised plot to inveigle the southern democracy ln- to the support of the outrageous tar if that annually filches millions of dollars from the laboring classes. Seventy four million dollars collect ed from the people by an exacting war tarff are, by the Blair blll, 10 be distributed among the southern states as a brlbe to buy up demn- cratic votes to keep the tariff Tn op- erstion. Here is the secret Of the whole matter, we will steal ten mil lions from you and give you five millions back to help us steal twen- ty millions more. This is the phy- losephy of the famous educational bill concocted by Senator Blair. It is argued that we need the money for educational purposes, the Hitter acy of our state demands the pas- sage of the bill. We grant that we need money, we need better educa- tional facilities, buswe do not want to encourage and foster principle that is wrOnp that fiIchas milliOns of money from the people to educate our children. It is not the way to promote education. Every demo- crat Tn the country should oppose the passage of such measure.

Pine Bluff Commercial: The in. telligent people of the state are grad ually realizing the fact that the Blair bill is a blli in the nature of a bribe, held out to them to accept a mess of pottage in consideration of their forsaking the teachings of the constitution of their fathers. As time goes on and the deformIties of this bill of abominations are blazon- ed before the public the conviction grows that it is one of the most in sidious of bribes. With the present congress rests the responsibility of destroying all such schemes.

Fayettville Democrat: There IS a good deal being said Tn the state press about young men for office. It is our understanding that most of the officials in the state are young men, and unless it is proposed to turn the whole thing over to tue "kids" we see little relevancy in the discussion. Any good democrat, reg ularly nominated, whether old or young in age, i. good enough for the Sentinel. We do not propose to so conduct primary canvass as the support of either would amount to qualification.

Hamburg News: The national democratic party is unqualifiedly committed to tariff reduction and to the best interests of the laboring masses of the country, but a failure to give It a united support means a failure to accomplish it's aims and purposes; it means postponement of the fight against corruption and oppression, and another fifteen or twenty years license to blosted cor porations to pillage and rob the peo- pie. The disaffected and and polit- lcal adventurers should be relegated to quiet retreats, and the decks cleared far sweeping democratic victory this fall.

CONGRESS has a bill before it for consideration to investigate the va rious trusts and combinations of the country. These truats and eombi- nations are for the purpose of hand ling certain articles of commerce. They are for the ostensible purpose of benefitting trade, but for the real purpose of evading the law. They should be carefully investigated, and all the facts about them should be arrayed before the people.

 GEN. GREELY has appealed to the appropriations committee for an ap- propriation to sustain the signal ser vice for the benefit of the west.
