complaint, advised the use of your medi-
cine and assured me of his confidence in
it as a cure for rheumatism. / at once

sibly relieve me, but not having much
faith in it or anything else; but, thank
God, am very much relieved, and |

a Double Help for the Bilious.

In addition to that chief remedial
measurable use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters-persons suffering from an acute
bilious attack, will facilitate recovery by
the use ct first Of milk and lime water
and thin grueis, and by very gradual
return to the use of solid foods. Fatty
substances should be excluded from the
diet. Blue pill is a remedy Of doubtful
safety, particularly if there be nausea and
vomiting, frequent concomitants of liver
trouble. The Bitters, provided its re-
formatory action be not retarded and
narred by gross indiscretions in diet, will
soon restore the equilibrium Of and action
of the liver stomach and bowels, all three
disordered by billiousness. In all forms
of malsrial disease. which in every one
of its phases presents indications of liver
trouble, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the foremost of specifics. The light Of
over thirty years experience also shows II

Addresses n baptist Association.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispstch.l
TOWNSVILLE, AMHERST COUNTY. VA, I
August "A. 1888.
The ninety-sevenih annual meeting OF
the Albemarle Baptist Association closed
last night after three days session.
There was n great crowd, fine preaching,
and much good eating.
One Of the most interested attendants
ut the meeting was our candidate for
Congress, Harry Tucker. AT the close of
the Baptist meetings on the second day the
right OF way was given Mr.. Tucker, and
in less than five minutes after Rev. Mr..
Clopton, of Richmond, left the pulpit IN
the grove Mr.. Tucker stood in it with
something less than an acre OF people
before him. Among the preachers who
sat before him we're Rev. Drs. j. William
Jones, A. T. Dickinson, j. @. Long, j.
b. Turpin, Edmund Harrison. and o
dozen or two more. and they all were
perfectly delighted with the address. As
a specimen OF his happy hits take this :
81 thank you, my Baptist friends, for
this kind hearing You give. l never felt
more than now that the best thing IN the
world is to be Baptist and Democrat,
but don't let the Presbyterians in the
Valley know that said this, if you
please"
Every word was in the most exquisite
good taste, and the address was through
out OF high order MN.

Tnat .arayo Clerical ERROR"

To the Editor of the Dispdtch:
The Heraid's Washington CORE
spondent. from whom you copied yes
terday, in referring to a mistake in
law fifteen years ago by which
fruits were admitted free, does not
correctly state the case. The mistake
occurred in this manner In setting up
the bill in the Governm mt Printing
Office the printer, instead OF making it
read "fruit plants, inserted comma
between fruit and plants, thus making
two things where only one was intended,
and it passed through all hands con-
cerned up to the President without qpes-
ton. The insertion or omission Of q
hyphen between the two words could not
possibly make any difference whatever
in the meaning any more than between
the words court house, ripe fruit. apple
brandy, corn bread, &c. The omission
OF hyphen between corn and bread
surely would not give us botn of these
articles, but the insertion of O comma
would. Yours, d. NJ.
The Hcratd's whole story is nothing
but sensational exaggeration. There
is nothing in its correspondents mares
nest. The Herald has seemed to be
trying TO reform, but it always has re-
lapse. 1t is still true to its earliest cha.
racteristics.

Kissing After "The Quick or the
Dead"


Frederick Heinsman had his sweet
heart, Sarah Kirchner, before the Tombs
Court the other day on the charge Of
kissing one of bis back teeth ont. This
is the story Miss Kirchner told the JUS
tice: She WAS engaged TO Heinzmsn,
who continually complained that she was
too Indifferent. Last evening as they
stood alone on Fulton ferry-boat he re-
iterated this reproach. She at once
threw her arms around his neck, placed
her lips to his and kissed him until a
loose double tooth came out. Heinz
man said he had had Katherine arrested
while in anger and would withdraw his
charge. The two lovers walked away
arm in arm. Frederick is. apparently
satisfied that Sarah is not Indifferent.

We mentioned yesterday tho fact that
the Republican, in Congress once passed
law encouraging the immigration OF
the Chinese into this country. We have
noticed disposition on the part OF some
Republican journals to dispute this fact.
In Speaker CARnrsLE's speech at the
ratification meeting in New York city on
the 2Sth OF June he said
"The Republican party was the only
party that ever enacted statute TO en-
courage and legalize the importation OF
foreign labor under contracts 10 serve
the importers. l allude to the con-
gressional statute OF 1864, which was
passed at time when there we're scarcely
enough Democrats III either House TO
cali the yeas and nays"
A Republican paper undertakes to de-
fend the passage OF that law by the Re-
pubIicans on the ground that it was
war measure. Isn't that adding insult
TO injury? The Confederacy had no
country in the world from which TO re-
cruit its small armies; but the United
States had all the world. Not satisfied
with drawing upon all Christendom-not
satisfied with the thousands and tens
OF thousands Of white foreigners whom
they gathered together to oyerpower the
South, the Republicans called upon the
Chinese-the Mongols-the of-scou1-
ings Of the earth--to come to this
country and work on the Pacific rail-
roads whilst tho white natives were put
ting down the rebellion.
The confession tells the story. The
Republicans made it lawful for the
Chinese to come to this country.

estimate Of the voting population in
1880. Tho fact Is that at the last cleo
ton tho vote was in round numbers
1900 Republicans TO 5000 Democrats.
These figures would seem to show that
oil the Republicans are negroes. Yet
we suppose that 10 per cent OF the Re-
publican voters are whites. The voting
population is much larger than it was in
1880. Anyhow, il LasosroS u defeated

prepared one. In view OF the methods
that are being used to defeat
him, and of the assaults uton

cool and self-possessed. He goes on
working more actively, if possible. after
