ACCORDING to a Washington dis
patch Senator Sherman has com
menced backing and filling in order
to catch the popular breeze. He
invited the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, of which he is
Chairman, and the Congressional
delegations from California, Oregon
and Nevada to dinner at his house
on the Dist ult. Of course it was
given out that the party was to be
Of a purely social character, with
out any political significance bat,
in view OF the general surrounding,
people will have some opinions OF
their own. Ms. Sherman has rec
ord on the Chinese question not
we'll calculated to command the
admiration of the citizens of the
Pacific Coast, but, under the gentle
influence of society" he might be
induced to modify his position, or
change it altogether. When Mr.,
Kenna showed, in recent debate,
that Mr.. Sherman had completely
revised his position on the question
of tobacco tax, The latter proclaim
ed that he would be unworthy to
represent the people of Ohio if he
did not change his views occasion
ally.

A Reprieve for the Condemned.

! Wretched men and women long
condemned to suffer the tortures of
dyspepsia, arc filled with new hope
after a few doses of Uostetter Stom-
ach Bitters. This budding hope
blossoms into the fruition of GER
tainty, if the ,Bitters are persisted
in. 1t brings reprieye to all dys-
peptics who seek its aid. FIatu-
lence, heartburn, sinking at the
pit of the stomach, between meals,
the nervous tremors and insomnia
of which chronic indigestion is the
parent, disappear with their hate
fuI progcnitor. Most benefcient of
stomachics ! who can wonder that
in SO many instances it awakens
grateful eloquence in those who,
benefited by it, speak voluntarily
in its behalf. 1t requires a graphic
pen to describe the torments of dys-
pepsia, but in many of the testi-
monials received the proprietors of
the Bitters, these are portrayed with
vivid truthfulness. Constipation,
biliousness, muscular debility, ma
larial fever and rheumatism are re-
lieyed by it.

THE birth place of General Sher-
idan seems to be hard to locate.
The Generals mother claims he
was born on the 9Th day Of March,
1881, in Somerset, Perry County,
Ohio, three years after their land
ing in America. He began life, &C
cording to his mother, as a clerk in
a hardware store III 1913; this he
soon gave up to accept position
in dry goods store, which posi-
ton he held until his appointment
to West Point in March, 1913.
Luke McCabe, of Milwaukee, and
John McCabe, Of Philadelphia,
cousins of the General, say that he
was born in County Cavan, Town
land of Beah, in the parish of Kill
linkere, Ireland.
Andrew McCabe, another cousin
Of the Generals says, until seeing
his birthplace credited to the Uni
ted States, in the various biograph-
ical sketches of him, after his fame
as General began to grow, l never
heard the Irish nativity of the Gen
eral disputed.

ACCORDING to a gentleman who
has ample means of information on
the point, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, but who for good reasons
does not allow the publication Of
his name, President Cleveland has
taken steps to relieve Congress and
the Democratic party of any disad-
vantages that may have been i'm
posed upon them by his message
in the settlement of the taxation
question. The President is repre-
scented to have said to a distin-
guished visitor, in substance, that
his message was an abstract propo-
sition, and that while he still be-
lieved in the doctrines set forth in
that document, he did not intend
and had not intended at any time,
that it should map out positively
and in detail the kind of a bill he
would be willing to sign. On the
contrary, recognizing the supreme
importance of some REIMBURSEMENT
and reduction Of taxation, he was
ready to cooperate frankly and

A SPECIAL from Washington says
the report Of the Secretary of War
on the "rebel flag" resolution adopt
ed by the House on the motion of
Boutelle, of Maine, has been on the
Speakers table several days, but
in the absence of Mr.. Carlisle has
not been presented to the House.
1t will show that all the Confede-
rate flags that have been returned
have been sent back by Republican
Secretaries of War, and that not
one had been sent back under the
present Administration Of Depart
ment. The report may be present
ed to the House III a few days, and
it is limited that S. S. Cox is loaded
with speech on the subject. Wise,
of Virginia, is also likely to have
something to say, and Boutelle and
Tom Reed will of course disport
themselves.

By reference to an order from
Judge Wright, which appears in
another column, it will be seen that
Court has been postponed until the
10th of April. The postponement
may have caused a little inconven-
fence to a few of our citizens, and
also a small expense to the county,
but the news came in time to reach
large majority of witnesses and
Jurors, so that the Inconvenience
was limited and the expense merely
nominal.

WHAT is meant by natural born
citizen? In general, a. citizen born
in the United States. But this is
not a rule without an exception.
Persons born in q foreign country
may be native born citizens of the
United States. On the other hand
there may be those who first see the
hight in this country who are not
citizens-children of foreign Min
listers, for example. Born at Wash
ington they are citizens of England,
or Germany, or whatever country
their father represents. Percentage
as well as place of birth is to be
considered in determining the citi-
zenship Of children born either
within or without the United States.
A child born abroad of American
parents is in law native born
American citizen and, if a male,
eligible to the Presidency. That is,
if the parents are citizens, and, like
AIr. Blaine and family, are merely
travelling or temporarily sojourning
in foreign parts. And the same
may be true of parents residing
abroad for years-as in the case Of
Minister or Consul in the service
Of our government. Itmattcrs not
whether the parents are native or
naturalized citizens. Even if an
American citizen should take for
eign wife in a foreign country &
child born to them abroad would
be an American citizen, since the
citizenship of the father determines
that Of both mother and child.
Among the questions asked in the
numerous communications we haye
received is this: Suppose a person
was born in Texas before its an
nexation by the United States, is
he a natural born citizen and eligi-
Die to the Presidency? Our reply
is that he is not. He was born on
foreign territory, in q foreign coun-
try. He is an alien by birth. He
became a citizen, not by virtue of
his birth, but Ly what is termed
"collective naturalization" He is
therefore a naturalized, not a native
born citizen.
And this is also true of all per
sons who were born in Florida,
louisiana and California before
and became citizens after such ter
ritory was acquired by the United
States. They are not native born,
but naturalized citizens of the
United States.-N. Y. Herald.

thoroughly with Congress in the
accomplishment of that end, even
if the bill agreed upon by the House
and Senate should not coincide with
the line marked out in his message.
He is said to have intimated that
he would even agree to a material
reduction or total abolition Of the
internal revenue if Congress in its
wisdom should decide upon that
means of arresting the surplus. In
other words, the President, while
adhering strictly to the belief set
forth in his message, and regarding
that as the best plan on which to
arrive at a solution of present diff
culties, regarded a reduction OF
taxation as of prime importance,
and if he could not have 1t in one
way was willing to get it in another.
If Congress could agree, he would
not stand in the way Of the accom-
plishment of the general end de-
sired, if the proposition submitted
to him should be within reasonable

 The bayou there is turbd and foul; It flows through malarious swamps lower than itself. The Creole planters there are ,4onest and temperate folk. bat they are wretchediy poor. They raise only rice, and live on it and fish. The wet rice fields come up to the very doors of their cabins. The lep- rosy which certain families among them have inherited is developed by these con- ditions. Five years ago Prof. Joseph Jones, president of the State Board of Health, went himself with his son to ex- plore the cypress swamps and lasoons of the lower Lafourche. II is the region of the shadow of death. He found many poor 'epers hiding there. They were as dead men who walk and talk. They could handle burning coais; they felt no longer cold, nor heat nor pain. Their bodies ere corpses. One man lived alone in a hut, matched with palmettoes, which he had built for himself eating only the rice which he had planted No man nor wom- an had come near him for years.
