In this connection there can hardly be a more
interesting subject than the ultimate effect of
catarrh upon the hearing. The process of this
disease is poisoning the breath, rottinc away
the delicate machinery, of smell and taste,
poisoning the lungs and the blood, and passing
into the stomach, enfeebing the digestion,
vitiatng the secretons aud polinting the very
fountains of life; all this has perhaps been very
generally discussed, but the very frequent eff
feet of catarrh of the nose and throat upon the
hearing has not been touched upon as often as
the subject warrants.
A very little study of anatomy will show the
reader that the junction OF the back passage of
the nose and the upper parts of the throat is
connected with the ear by minute and delft
cate passage known as the Eustachian tube.
Along this tube the catarrh process extends,
producing congestion and Inflammation. BY the
further extension of this process to the mucous
lining of the tympanum of the is caused in

rarin' Reform In West virginia.

Some days ago the. Cincinnati Enquirer
correspondent interviewed EX-Attorney
General G. G. Watts in this city on the
tariff, in which the General is pleased tc
express himself that the Democrats will
sweep the State-Congressmen, Legisla'
ture and all. The general was certainly
in very happy and credulous frame O
mind. He says that the discussion O.
the revenue reform invariably results ii
large accessions to the Democratic ranks
from among the brainiest Republicans
in the State. "In this Ohio county
especially, it was thought that the idea
OF revenue reform and the accompanying
cry OF free trade would hurt the purity q
good deal. 1 was talking to Senator
Wood to-day, and, while much encour,
aged, was not at all surprised by what he
told me-"
Just what the genial ex-senator told
Mr.. Watts is not divulged, but when the
Enquirer correspondent tackled him fol
the startling information he had i'm
parted to the Kanawha politicians,
Woods discrectly refused to submit to
the pumping process. The correspond
ent says:
l had conversation with Senator
Wood, who, declining the formality OF an
interview, stated that, so far us Ohio
county was concerned, the more discus
sion there was OF the revenue reform,
the more popular it became, and the
more friends nocked to its standard
that a full discussion showed that no
blow was aimed ut any OF our industries,
but that it was only sought to remove
unnecessary and properly adjust and
distribute Unnecessary rcmainingtaXes,
and that the accomplishment OF this
could only result in the general good.

There is very sad case OF u govern
ment official ut Point Pleasant, West
Virginia, who is violating the civil SER
vice rules in most outrageous manner.
1t is no other than DR.. W. S. Hoy, a
very active and earnest Democrat, who
holds an appointment under the Pen
sion Department as examining surgeon.
DR.. Hoy was appointed through the in
iluence OF Eustace Gibson. Hoy's case
is most fragrant violation Of law. In
his line OF duty he has examined num-
Der OF veteran soldiers, and to them he
has issued u circular. He says: 81 re-
member you very distinctly and kindly,
and especially as one Of the numGr-
Gus soldiers it has been my good pleas
ure to examine, trust that our relation.
ship has been Of such kindly nature
that l would not be presuming too much
10 ask personal favor at your hands."
These last words he puts into significant
capitals. The favor is that theperson he
so distinctly and kindly remembers shall
work and vote for certain Democratic
candidate for prosecuting attorney Of
Mason county. DR.. Hoy will appreciate
it highly, and "any time"-these words
no puts in impressive italics-he can ro-
pay tho favor he will do so.
If ever there was clear case this is
one. "This gentleman" says the New
York Tribune, twill adorn private life
rather than official station, and should
have tho chance to show how well he
can do it."

We cannot conceive the use, the good
or the profit Of all the numerous false
reports that have been circulated about
Blaine. The reports in themselves are
so thin in texture that any sensible man
will at once stamp themas being fakedby
some writer for purposes of gain. His
letter announcing his decision declining
to run for the Presidency has been sub
iected to the criticism that it was insin-
cere and that one could read between
the lines. When the carpers got tired
of harping on this line they devoted
their attention to Mr.. Blaine's health,
and confidently asserted that he was q
very sick man. The changes were rung
on this topic until new ono was in
vented, which claimed that the Plumed
Knight had reconsidered his letter OF
declination and was again sin the hands
Of his friends" Running to the end oil
the string about matters OF present in.
terest the inventors turned back 10 inc
last campaign and brought out u story
that Blaine had written a conciliatory
letter to Conkling which had been inter
copied by Chairman Jones and Hon
Stephen B. Elkins. No well informed
man believed this, but Chairman Jones
has gone to the trouble to deny its
truth. He said to a reporter when ques
toned about it: ~ never saw or heard
Of such letter. 1t is story OF the same
character as thereportsnow being spread
that Mr.. Blaine has written alctter with
drawing his withdrawal; that he will
write letter refusing to accept the
nomination il rendered to him; THAT hi
is very i'll, and so on"

In the parish OF Concordia, L., there
were 4,240 registered voters in 1884
white and colored, Of whom 44s were
whites and 1888 colored. At the cleo
ton the other day the Democratic vote
was returned at 4,249 and the Republi.
can vote at 145, or a total OF 1891. So
you see that all the darkies land three
or four thousand oftho AIS whites voted
the Democratic ticket.
However the vote in Concordia, unan.
imous and numerous as it was, did NOT
equal the unanimity and university Of
the parish OF Tensas. In that parish
there were 1850 registered voters, Of
whom AL were white and 1859 colored.
Well, they too voted the other day, and
the returns show that an even 1900
Democratic votes were cast and not one
Republican vote. So here is another
case where tho colored brethren and
several thousand OF the AL whites voted
the Democratic ticket.
Madison parish is like unto Tensas in
its Democratic overwhelmingness. There
they had 3,Osl voters OF the African
persuasion on the registry rolls, and go
whites, and there, by the same strange
metamorphosis, the entire vote, to the
extent Of $3.50, was returned solid for
the Democracy. Not one for the Repub.
lican candidate.
This miserable farce is called an cleo
ton, and it is the farce by which the
eight votes OF Louisiana arc to be count

didate this year.

remarks as follows:
"only a suspension Of the law could
produce an unnecessary and exagger-
ated majority, and Louisiana and the

A NEW RAILROAD ROUTE
From tho Ohio River Road to CharlostO
Some neutrality-suspicious.

Some NnlunDlc-SnsgestlOhS'
For The EntcHigcRcer.
One of the results Of the great State
development scheme is n movement
which has been set on foot to invite the
attention of some OF the prominent and
successful railroad men Of West Vir-
ginia to what seems to be feasible and
promising route for a new railroad
which will connect the city OF Wheeling
with Charleston directly, and will pass
through territory rich in coal and tim
Der, and comparatively speaking well
populated. With map before him one
can much more readily perceive the adj
vantages OF the proposed route, which
will leave the Ohio River road Mt Willow
Island and follow Cow creek to its head,
crossing the divide in low gap, with a
cut on to Douglass run, and follow that
to Goose creek, hence up Road Fork to
the low gap ut the head OF Bear run,
and over ON to Buckeyes run, down q
made grade now existing there to
North Fork OF Hughes river, and down
the river to Cairo, ut which place it is
proposed to take the track of the Richie
Mines road, which has good grade for
ten or twelve miles to the head OF Devil
Hole creek. Here it is likely tunnel
would be required to lead through on to
Mcfarland run which would be fol-
lowed to South Fork OF the Hughes
river, thence it is proposed to pass up
Dutchman run, at the head OF which it
is thought cut would lead over onto a
tributary OF the Little Kanawha, down
which tributary the road would run to
the mouth Of the West Fork and up
West Fork passing Arnoldsburg, At
the head OF West Forks, perhaps, tun-
mel would be required to lead on to the
water Of the Elk river, and down it to
Charleston. The distance would not
exceed 20 miles or 100 at the most.
