HOW'S
Your Liver !?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; ; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
1t acts with extraor-
dinary power and efficacy.

THE FOURTH PARTY.

The Fourth party, or Harris party,
is evidently one of the rule or ruin
kind. 1t kicks and bolts and runs in
dependent candidates and cuts up
generally. 1t insists on a primary in
one county and opposes primary in
another, demands that all Democrats
must vote the straight ticket in one
county or be numbered among the
goats, and insists III other counties
that the regular nominees of the par
ty shall be defeated. The one idea
which controls the Fourth party is
the election Of Harris to the Senate.
1t matters not what other Democrats
chances are injured Harris must
be taken care of at all haz-
yards. The only bolts from the
Democracy in the state are the fourth
party Harris bolts. The fonrth party
means business. 1t has no remorse
Of conscience, but when it goes in to
win it goes to work day and night.
1t has power. too. 1t is backed by
the internal revenue department; it
includes among its leaders the ablest
and shrewdest of politicians; it is
fred with the zeal Of personal advo-
cacy, and it is jealous in maintaining
the policy "to the victors belong the
spoils." Verify, the fourth party is a
hummer in the way of q persistent
faction, and it huns for one man on
ly.-Banner.

CIVIL SERVICE AND COMMON SENSE.

TO me Edttor OF The Trfbune
Sir: The reason for a Civil Service of highest value
is 10 have an honest, efficient and patriotic admins
,ratlon of the business affairs in the Nation. And
next IN relieve the President of the power and labor
Of appointing and removing mere executive or business
officers.
The patronage Of tho governing party Is already
too great and grows daily greater. There are men
who make their only bread from politics, and have De
come simply bandith in aims and methods.
This vast patronage-in the hands of the Chief Ex-
ecutive aud controlled by party-s not only de
structive OF effective service but dangerous 10 the
M, OF the Republic. The attempts at " Civil Service
REFORM have utterly failed because the methods are
entirely impracticable.
The true reform IS in placing the appointing power,
by change in the Federal Constitution, In some other
banda than the Presidents. Suggestions: Let the
Senate Of the United States choose Board OF Ap-
polnt ment and Dismissal" for all political Offices
Let the Senators of the two largest parties choose this
Board-each party choosing half Of the Board
Let the Boatd have the same tenure Of office IA
the Judges of the supreme Court of the Union, ana
be In perpetual sessiOn. Let the Board vote IN mass
and majority determine the qualifications OF each
applicant for Office, appoint and dismiss Tor cause
So suon Is this Board IS ready for work the law hav-
ing determined what classes are non poticaD shaii
make list Of all the officers in the classes Named Win
their several political connections. Then they shall
anpoin as soon as a vacancy occurs from the party
then having a minority of the office holders till the
numbers are practically equal Then when vacancy
occurs fl shall be so filed to keep up the equality
Aud the same principles shall govern IN ih' ohce-
hora,t,er IN bc created This seems to me 10 be a
sure reform and remedy for all the Ills complained
OF now. so, , - l.,
sympathy with the President by his power OF choice
and removal-the aut0cratic power OF the majority
with all us efficiency and responslby wills Is
