The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition
by the state of the hairI
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Samson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness a serious
affection and julius Cesar was never
quite satisfied with himself because his
poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in its various
expressions, lines, changes and complex
ion the state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
vet has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints a rose Of
singular beauty and flush, more marked
in contrast with the alabaster appearance
of the forehead and nose and lower part
of the face, is one of those whom the
skilled physician will tell you will some
day dread the funereal month of March,
because it is then that consumption reaps
its richest harvest. Consumption they
tell US is caused by this that and the other
thing, by microbes in the air, by micro
organisms in rhe blood, by deficient nu-
triton, by a thousand and one things,
but whatever the cause, decay begins
with a cough and the remedy that will
effectually stop the cause OF that cough
cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a wasting.
To stop it etfectually, remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This Is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-tangled notion
of narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
toned preparation of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and ex-
pense. 1t is not a mere cold dryer. 1t is
a system-searcher and upbuilder and a
consumption expelant. Where others
fail, it wins, because it gets at the con-
stitutional cause and removes it from the
system.
j. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on
Jan. 10, 1888, reported that she had de-
rived more real benefit for the length of
time, from Warmers Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy than he had for
years from the best state physicians.
If you have a cough, night sweats,
positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh-you, have no consumption, !"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away, you may know
that soon the funereal month of March
will claim you, unless promptly and faith
fully you use the article named. If other
remedies have failed try this one thor
oughly. If others are offered, insist the
more on trying this unequaled prepare
ton.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease
to become seated.

How We Elect a President,

Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is so much talk going on
Just now about the constitutiOnality
of our Presidential elections, that the
idea suggests itself of what would
really happen if we were to go back
to the true constitutional idea of the
electoral system. 1t was intended by
those great Fathers Of our country,
who are supposed to have never made
mistake, and to have buildcd a
Government superior to any thing
which the world ever knew or ever
could know, that we should not vote
for President or Nicn-President at
all, but that we should vote for Il set
of men who, after the Venetian Sys-
TEN, should, out of their own superb
or knowledge, select such officers for
us. That is still our law; and any
Presidential EleCtor chosen next fall,
by any party, and elected by the pco-
pie, will have the unquestionable
right to cast his vote for anybody
that seems to him most iii, whether
it be Henry George or Francis Train.
That is the Constitution. But if one
of them We're to attempt 20 exercise
this independent judgment, with
/ which the Constitution clearly cm-
powers him, chen there would bc

Hon, JOIN r. NEAL, Congress
man from this district, has introduced
a bill in the House to repeal the in
ternal revenue law. While the wi
ping out of therevenue on whisky and
tobocco is undoubtedly in accord
with Democratic principles, it is not
likely to prevail altogether. There
are exceptions to all rules, and the
country can very well afford to con-
tinue the exception in this case, at
least until some better method OF
holding whisky in check is devised.
The principle of the internal revenue
law is certainly undemocratic, but
we are doubtful if a repeal of it at
present will be to the best interest OF
the people.
