The HOt-Water Cure.

A Knoxville lawyer, after trying
various remedies for Bright's disease
without being at all benefited, was ad-
vised to try hot water. He says: ''To
make long story short, | began
drinking it. l felt sure that it could
do no harm, and it cost nothing. |
drank glass of hot water that night
before retiring. | drank another the
next morning before breakfast, one
before dinner, before supper, and on re-
tiring. l remained in the town where
| was for little more than week.
The third day after beginning the use
of the water ! felt more comfortable
than | had for months. | threw away
my gin and morphine. At the end of
the week | could walk with my head
erect. was sleeping well at night
and enjoying my meals. l have con-
tinued the use of the hot water, and to-
day L am a stronger man than | have

Germany's Bold Young Prince.

. Picture to yourself It young man in
his 30th year, feet in height, straight
as an ash sapling, with finely formed,
slender limbs, narrow hips, swelling
chest, and square, broad shoulders,
with a smallish head on long, full
throated neck, held proudly upright,
and an oval face, with an aquiliue
effect of profile, clear cut, strong chin,
bended nose, prominent though not
high cheek bones, and good open fore
head-all as regular in ensemble us a
Greek triumphal arch, with clear,
sharp, cold gray-blue eyes, light-brown
hair, close-cut behind, but longer on
the crown, and rising from the temples
to form Il sort of ridge from the part
ing across the brow, and a yellowish
mustache curled up at the ends-and
you have such a portrait as words can
paint of William, crown prince of
Prussia and coming German emperor.
All Europe, with a thousand sons of
royal houses, does not present another
such regal figure. The kaiser who is
dead and the kaiser who is dying have
by their photographs familiarized all
the civilized world with two striking
and splendid physical ideas of a soldier
who looked every inch a king. But
each gained much by the effects of
beard, of lines of care in the face, and
of imposing corporeal bulk. They
were impressive in the sense of a
noble old mastiff, or of huge, honest,
deep-chested boar-hound. This young
man suggests instead the notion of a
perfectly-bred sleuth-hound, under
whose smooth, delicate soft coat lie
muscles of steel, and in whose mouth
sinister legacy of nature-is the in
herent taste of human blood. Not that
his face is sullen or savage in its eX-
preston. Its habitual cast in repose
is calm, self-possessed, somewhat medi-
tative, without wrinkles either on the
brow or al the ends of the mouth. The
eyes, too, are grave, intent, without
being severe. And | saw this face
light up the other night, when William,
after bidding the English princes
goodbye ut the station, turned and
walked down the space cleared through
the cheering crowds to his carriage
with a very sweet and winning smile.
Nothing could have been more gra-
cious or kindly than his blonde counten-
ance, as William glanced along the
rows of faces us he walked and lifted
his finger to his cap in easy, pleased
recognition of the cheers.-NeU IorE

BENToN,s HAIR GROWER.

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming BALD, all who do not want to
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the scalp
should use Benton's Hair Grower.
EIGHTY PER CENT. of those using it
nave grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through
sickness and fevers the hair sometimes
falls off in short time, and although
the person may have remained bald
for years, if you use Benton's Hair
Grower according to directions, you
are sure OF a growth of hair. In hun.
dreds of cases we have produced good
growth of hair on persons who have
been bald and glazed for years. We
have fully substantiated the following
facts.
We grow hair in every case no mat.
ter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations it contains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or min
eral poisons.
1t Is specific for falling hair, dan
druff, and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is hair food, and
its composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
it's vitality.
If your druggists have not got it we
will send it prepaid on receipt of price

Contrast In City Life.

On the Tenth street side of the Jeffer-
son Market Court Building in New
York is the entrance to the prison.
Forty prisoners day, says writer in
the Sun, ON an average the year
around, not excepting Sundays, enter
by the granite steps and iron doors
and pass to judgment in the police
court within. All grades of crime are
represented. Burly brutes who have
beaten their wives; besotted wretches,
With concaye faces trampled in
By the iron hoof of sin;
women in all stages of the doomed life
which begins with Haunting finery and
ends in the river; children whose be-
ginnings were with crime.
On a top floor of a dwelling within
sight of the prison entrance there has
lived for more than a year a family
whose father has been confined to the
house by sickness. On many days the
sick man has sat by the front window
looking out upon the stream of culprits
passing into the prison. On fine days
he sits close to the open window and
looks up and down the street. His
women folk watch him tenderly. They
help him to his seat, they fold him care
fully in wraps. They bring him food
and drink. They sit and sew and chat
with him. Their busy needles fly
swiftly, but they find time to look up
anon with pleasant smiles and kindly
words.
Day by day this sweet picture of
devotion looks out upon this passing
stream of crime. The peaceful domes-
tic scene stands out in strong contrast
with the coarse and brutal panorama,
perpetual rebuke to the weak-minded
transgressors who can find no way to
meet trouble bu. by drunkenness, and
no way to pleasure but by debauch.
A ST. Louis man says that he once
had chance to buy the patent for the
Nicolson pavement for 81, 900. A year
after he declined the offer the holder
of the patent collected 800, 900, in
royalties from the City of St. Louis.

ind the Episcopalians and Roman Cath

9ettigrew was selected to make the mo-
ion. Your Honor" he SAID. Il desire

moments thought, 1.-The court will sit
tomorrow as usual" Very well, your
Honor" replied Pettigrew, adding as
he turned away. 4 know there is a
precedent, for Pontius PLATE held court
on the first Good Friday
The same Judge was great stickler
for etiquette, and when one hot July
day Pettigrew came into the court room
in black coat and yellow nankeen
trousers the Judge took him sternly to
task, asking him whether he did not
know that the rules of that court re-
quired its counsellors to appear in
''black coat and trousers" '.Well, your
Honor" said Pettigrew innoeently, Il
submit that am within the rule, for

''But they're not black trousers" in
sisted the Judge; ''blaek coat and trous-
ers means that both shall be black. :"
Then" said Pettigrew, 81 call your
Honor's attention to the fact that the
Sheriff of this court is in contempt of
its rules, for they require him to attend
upon its sessions in cooked hat and
sword, and while his hat seems to be
cooked his sword certainly is not" The
Judge said no more about the trousers.

PARTY CHANGES.

II our political history is correct in
dication, the country is evidently on the
eve OF another change of parties-such a
change as has occurred at intervals since
the foundation of the government. The
old federal party, of which Alexander
Hamilton was an exponent in his day,
like Napoleon l, rose, reigned and fell"
1t had its origin in efficient causes: it
grew from youth to manhood;
declined, and passed out of ex-
istence. 1t was followed by the
wings, whose Leaders, Clay and
Webster, impressed upon their time their
own and the principles Of their party.
The wings went down in the shadows cast
by the events of 1861. In their turn they
were succeeded by the republicans who
rose with the tide of revolution, nourshed
twenty years upon the emoluments of
power but like the BabylOnish mon
arch read the handwriting on the
wall in the election of Cleveland in 1884
The same principle of consoli-
dation and Capitalization which animates
the republican party of to-day also
vitalized its two predecessor federal
and whig parties. The two latter had
their day, but we're finally overthrow and
RELOCATED to oblivion by the people. The
signs of the times indicate similar fate
is soon to overtake their successor, the
republican party. II, too, has had its day,
and the signs of its complete reputation |
by the voters of the United States are
everywhere apparent. Its avowed pur-
pose-the destruction of slavery-has |
been accomplished. It's mission is ended. |
There is no further use for it, except in |
keeping up unnecessary taxation, and
that the people of this country will not
endure much longer from any party.
The defeat of the republican candidate for
the presidency next November will be the
signal for the disarmament of that or
ganizaiion. Thus will take place another
party change, and the form under which
the old federal principle shall again ma
terialize must be determined by existing
political causes.

WEEKLY STATESMAN.
WHO ARE OUR coNGREssNEN, ANYWAY
AUSTIN, TEXAS.

The report of the committee cent BY
our state 10 Washington, to plead the
states demand for deep water port
presents marvellous issue. Texas has
thirteen men who are supposed to repre-
sent her in the federal congress, and il
was TO see those men Texas sent a COM
mittee two thousand miles TO Washington.
Texas has a right to command, not petit
tion, those men, and yet how Yves her com
mittee received: That committees mis-
sion was to inform those gentlemen that
the state of Texas, to whom they owed
their political existence and allegiauce,de-
sired them to com bine their Efforts and IL
fuence TO secure the concentration Of all
federal appropriations on one point on
the Texas coast in order that the state
might have suitable and commodious
deep water entry port. Two of those
thirteen gentlemen did not think it worth
their while to meet with that committee,
and of the others that committee reports
"a few of the delegation were willing to
concentrate, few positively refused, the
rest appeared undecided" upon what
meat doth these, our Casara, feed that
they are grown so greatI" Who made
them greater than our state, or by what
right do they refuse to do the peoples
bidding? Is there 10 remedy And has
it come, to this that We must do AZ sug-
gested in the report of the commit
tee, abandon all hope for relief
from the general government and
this Torso 9th, because our lordly represent
atives in congress don't see proper to do
as we command themI If this be true,
then Why continue longer the farce of
electing congressman and senators, why |
not constitute Messrs. Grain, Stewart and
the other honorable gentlemen close |
corporation of lordiings, priyy council,
a something, anything, only giving them
power to think and act as they please?
There is a way out of this dilemma.
Deep water must be made state issue
this year, and not q man should be ere
dentialed to represent Texas in congress,
who will not pledge himself to act
in this mater as the state di-
rects, and that is that he must
lend his every effort to secure one and a
sufficient appropriation to establish such
a port as Texas needs and must have. |
This is the reigning and supreme issue
now in Texas, and upon it equarely and
firmly every candidate for congressional
honors should be made TO stand The
state cannot nor will she permit any
further triiling in this vital matter Texas
will rule in this question as our muchly
assuming congressman will soon find out.

DEEP WATER FOR TEXAS.

Not day passes that does not empha-
size the necessity of a deep water port on
the coast of Texas. If our congressman
will use the same ability, energy and dill
gence in laboring to secure permaue mt
deep water for Texas that they practice
in discussing the abstract principals of
political economy, they will honor them
selves and do the state the highest service
they can possibly render. It is matter
of small concern to the people what indi-
yiduals fill offices aud draw salaries. but il
is OF great importance to them that
they elect representatives who will take
care of their business interests.
With an empire in territory; with soil
as rich and productive as can be found on
earth; with immense annual crops of cot

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

/ Sam A. SpaIks, Sheriff Of Bell county:
Dear Sir-Ycurs Of March Z at hand
and. il answer thereto. l am directed by
/ the governor to thank you for the good
/ opinion you are kind enough TO express
/ for him. In the matter Of rtquisition:
he is obliged in the interest of the state to
decline issuing IN great many cases. as
the benefit to be obtained By the return
and even conviction Of the offender would
not compensate for the great expense
which would be incurred.
Under the old law issuing acquisitions,
the governor could control the cost to be
paid; under the present, even if the party
Is never tried, the state has to pay a fixed
amount whether it costs that much or not
to get the man.
When the governor came into office
there had, under the old system, to be
provided for deficiency of $274,O00, due
sheriff5 and officers of courts in criminal
cases; under the new law, if he took eff
the brakes and issued acquisitions in
every case asked for, the deficiency would
be over million, and doubtless chapter
14S, acts 1887 would either be repealed, or
so modified as not TO be of the same ben
eft to sheriffs as it is now. Hence, IN the
interest of the sheriffs of Texas, of whom
he is proud to say he was once one and
of the taxpayers, he has TO use the utmost
caution in issuing papers for criminals in
other states, and, before doing so, requires
the certificate of the district attorney, so
that, if returned, then conviction is proba
BILE, and, that the states witnesses can be
got at, as he does not think it to be con-
ducive to the public interest that men
should be brought at large expense back
into the state, only to be acquitted or
have their case dismissed. And yet,with all
his caution, up to to-day, in little over
year, he has issued 290 acquisitions on
other states for criminals. l write you
thus fully, knowing that your own good
sense will show you that in this caution
the governor is both regardful of the in
terests of the sheriffs and the public. In
the case of johnson, if You send the
proper certificate from the district attor-
ney, certified copy of the indictment
and an affidavit chat the said Johnson is
a fugitive from justice from out of the
state of Texas requisition will be is
sued. am, respectfully,
