Constitutional Catarrh

No single disease has entailed more suffer
ing or fastened the breaking up of the cOnsti-
tuition than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of
taste, of sight, of hearing, the human voice,
the mind-One or more, and sometimes all,
yield to its destructive influence. The poison
it distributes throughout the system attacks
every vital force, and breaks up the most ro-
bust of constitutions. Ignored, because but
little understood, by most physicians, impo-
tently assailed by quacks and charlatans.
those suffering from it have little hope to be
relieved of it this side of the grave. 1t is time,
then, that the popular treatment of this terri
BILE disease by remedies within the reach of all
passed into hands at once competent and
trustworthy. The new and hitherto untried
method adopted by DIR. Sanford in the pre-
paratOn of his RAD. CAL CURE has won the
hearty approval of thousands. 1t is instanta-
neous in affordng relief in all head colds
sneeZng, snuffling and INSTRUCTED breathing
and rapidly removes the most oppressive
symptoms clearing the head, sweetening the
breath, restoring the senses of SMELL taste and

tendency of the disease towards the lungs,
liver and kidneys.

upon the immense advantage Of a pro-

prosperity OF this country with the
poverty OF free trade England.
Senator Hale's resolution for the APP
pointment of q special senate committee

violations, by federal officials, OF the
civil service law, has been passed BY the
senate and the committee appointed.
They will begin the Investigation as
soon as soon as possible. The subject Is
large one and inclndes officials from

A FAIR OFFER.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 10th, 1888.

Daily LIGHT:
Who will be nominated at Chicago?
Less than three months from this time
the convention will meet, hence all re-
publicans are getting interested in the
above question. 1t is q much easier
question to ask than to answer. 1t Is
doubtful il the best informed republican
in Washington would attempt to say
who the candidate will be. He may be
anyone Of the dozen gentlemen men
toned or he may be as yet unnamed.
Let US consider how the chances stand
at present.
Senator Sherman is developing con-
siderable strength in the south, but un-
less he can make some friends In other
states, his nomination Is extremely
doubtful. Senator Harrison and Judge
possess much strength In the northwest,
but the ill-feeling that has already crop.
ped out between: their followers, dis
poses of the chances Of both Of them
Mr.. Chaunoey Depew has considerable
following In the eastern states, and just
now he is credited with having a real
boom In Pennsylvania. So far no one OF
the other candidates appears to be at
tempting to antagonize Mr.. Depew, but
then his following is perhaps too small
as yet to make that necessary. That Is
the situation as it exists today. The
gentlemen mentioned are the only ones,
whose friends have, so far, attempted to
boom them for the nomination. All the
rest are apparently waiting for that con-
centratioD Of sentiment that has as yet
refused to take place in anyone's favor
except MIR. Blaine's.
The pension claim agents Of this city
got SCORE In the senate on Thursday.
Senator Plumb had read q letter re-
ceived by an ex-soldier in Kansas, and
written by Washington pension agent.
which minated that the writer had
special facilities for pushing private
pension claims through congress. The
letter asked for fee of S25, $40 in ad-
vance and balance upon passage of bill.
Mr.. Plumb said he believed that large
sums of money were being obtained
from ex-soldiers by men who render
them no service whatever.
Senator Hale wanted to know the
name of the firm which sent the letter;
in view of the fact that the rules Of the
pension committee prohibited all attor-
neys or claim agents making any argu-
ments before the committee, it was
plain tnat they could render no service
TO the ex soldier, therefore the letter
was clearly intended to deceive and de-
fraud the man to whom 1t was written.
Mr. Plumb preferred not to mention the
name Of the firm until the whole matter
had been thoroughly investigated by the
pension committee. Senators Davis
Cockrell, Plumb and Hale each took this
occasion to deDOunce the Washington
claim agents as "sharks."
The dependent pension bill has beer
under consideration by the house com
mittee on pensions, but as yet no actor
has been taken on 1t. Petitions have beer
presented in the house from Pennsyl
Vania and Ohio, asking for the passage
Of a service pension bill and the per diem
pension bill.

respects to the presidents message in {

INFANTIlE
SKIN DISEASES

y Our oldest child, now six years Of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with
yirulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family ply 81
cian, who attempted to cure it; but it spread
with almost incredible rapidity, until the low
er portion Of the little fellows person, from
the middle of his back down to mis- knees, was
one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day Finally, we were advised to try the
CUTICURA REMEDIES. The effect was simply
marvellous In three or four weeks COM
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fell
lows person as white and healthy as though he
had never been attacked. In my opinion your
valuable remedies saved his life, and today he
is a strong, healthy child, perfectly WELL no
repetition of the disease having ever occurred.

70 SToP BLEEDING AT THE NOSE
A simple plan of stopping bleeding
of the nose has lately been advised.
Grasp firmly the nose with the finger
aud thumb for 10 or 10 minutes; by
thus completely stopping the move
ment of air through the nose (which
displaces frcshly-formed clots) you
will favor the CLOTHING of the blood,
and will frequently stop hemorrhage.

The BRAIN OF THE CHIMPANzEE.-
1t has been found that the essential
characteristics of the brain of the
New York chimpanzee, Familiarity
known as Mr.. Crowley, were human.
Its weight was about .hird of that

chimpanzee knew more than some

SO much fame as did Mr.. Crowley.
His gifts were numerous, and the

How many men are there among us
who can follow out for day, or even
for an hour, consecutive series of
thoughts? The art of thinking is
nearly lost art. When we have
nothing to do-no books and no news
papers we either eat or go to sleep,
or spend our time in mentally rehears.
ing detached fragments of our past
experience, or vainly and irrationally
forecasting the future. 1t is time
worse than wasted. And yet vast re-
gions of vital and creative meditation
are open to us on every side if we
would only venture. Let us stop
over-reading, and the over-production
of poor books would cease of itself.

The Republicans of Idaho have
struck it in new place. Their
territorial convention whereased that
at is the avowed policy of the Dem
ocratic party to reduce the tariff up
on lead, and bring us into such ruin
Gus competition with the peon slave
labor of Mexico as will result in the
closing down of our mining industry"
We had not before thought such inn
becility as this existed anywhere in
the United States. The production
of lead is not an industry Of Idaho.
Good lead mines are lying idle and
unclaimed in this State for the reason
that the production Of that metal is
Improbable even under high tariff.
The production of silver, however, is
an industry in that Territory. Her
silver mines have yielded millions of
profit to their owners.- Ventura
lCal.) Democrat.
Thos. j. Sutton, who was many
years ago one of the proprietors of
this paper, and its editor, is now on
the editoriol staff of the Ventura
Democrat, and he is no doubt the
author of the above, and imagines he
is speaking from personal knowl-
edge of the industries of Idaho as
they are now. fittings have changed"
since Tom was a citizen of the Gem
of the Mountains. New industries
have sprung up since then, and the
Gem has forged ahead at rapid
rate. The chief mining industry of
Idaho now is that of galena- silver
mining, the ores carrying both lead
and silver. When Tom was resi-
dent of Idaho no one dreamed that
silver galena mines would ever be
discovered within her boundaries.
We owe our great increase in popu-
lation chiefly to this industry. When
Tom was here the population of Ida
no was 10000. Now it is 100000
Our population was at a standstill
until the production of lead in com
bination with silver became an in
dustry OF our Territory. This indus
try gave an impetus to agriculture
that caused large areas to be cult
waited to supply the markets of these
galsna districts. OF the l44 900 tons
of lead produced in the United
States last year, 10000 tons came
from Idaho. Tom, when you have
occasion to speak of Idaho again
"post YOURSELF" and don't describe
her as you knew her in years gone
by, in her infancy, when she didn't
amount to much. She is no longer
small potatoes and few in a hill. She
has grown to large proportions and is
now a blooming, healthy, buxom
maiden, and has many more "string:
to her bow" than when you knew
her, and her old clothes no longer fl
her. Before closing we cannot re
, frain from jabbing the Democrat with
an interrogation. If good lead mine.
are lying idle and unclaimed in Cali
fornia for the reason that the produc
ton of that metal is Improbable ev
en- under the present tariff, why advo
cate reduction of the tariff, which
is already too low? Lead mining is
now an important industry of tn,
Pacific coast, and it is poor policy
and un-American, to attempt to les
sen it.
