Is that Hoods Sarsaparilla has cured thousands of people who suffered severely with rheumatism. It neutralizes the tactic acid in the blood, which causes those terrible pains and aches, and also yitalizes and enriches the blood, thus preventing the recurrence of the disease. These facts warrant us in urging you. if you suffer with rheumatism, to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.

The South and Its SOIIdity.

We think the President of the United
States should pursue wise policy to-

one, for in a conciliatory policy. the
white citizen only, comes under that
head for consideration. We are aware
Of the fact that some white southern
republicans are IN favor Of the local
affairs Of the south being controlled by
white citizens only; but how can you
make distinction based upon color,
when the laws of the land are against
ltP We do not believe with Hon.
Roger A. Pryor, that the doctrine of
protection will iberate these States
from the chains which have bound
them TO the free trade democracy.
These States were solid before the
Tariff became All issue. Dollars and
cents have little control in the south
as compared with their prejudiced hate
OF the newly made citizen. The south.
according to the sentiments expressed
In the southern press, are welded to
the idea that the white citizens OF the
south must govern all other colors of
citizens, and what they care most about
is not SO much as to who governs the
United States. as 1t is who governs the
southern States. There Is no Issue that
can be presented to them that will not
be secondary to their Idea of local self
government. In the light Of history
and reason for the past twenty-four
years. is there anything to encourage
one that conciliatory policy will rem.

first to last has been of conciliatory
nature towards tie south, and the more
it Is tried. the less respect they of the

leading white journal, says: Among
the most enthusiastic supporters of the
Sub Tropical Exposition are the colored
people of this city. No class Of people
have labored harder for Its success, and
none deserves more credit for that sue
cess. From its inception to its full
growth the colored people stood by it
manfulIy and worked for it in season
and out Of season. Their own depart
ment at the Exposition is one of the
most attractive, and it should be
visited by all who are interested IN the
progress and development of the
colored race. This department is under
the management of A. Q. Lightboune
and Bishop Arnett.
The adjourned meeting of the
Executive Committee of the colored
peoples department was called to order
yesterday. The object Of the meeting
was to listen to the report relating to
the invitation extended to Hon. Fred
erick Douglass, which had been
answered by telegram. The telegram
was read by Rev. j. II. Welch, Chair
man of the Committee. stating that
Hon. Frederick Douglass accepted the
Invitation to be present at the Sub
Tropical Exposition on April 4th, 9Th
and 9Th. This was received with loud
and long applause. The Secretary was
requested to address Invitations to the
Board of Trade, City Council, Mayor
and the Governor of the State to be pres
ent at the reception of Hon. Frederick
Douglass. Bishop D. A. Payne was
appointed Chaplain. The colored
people intend to give Mr.. Douglass the

Nonsense.

The Alexandra Gazette has the fol-
lowing:
The New York Herald says: "On
the whole the solid South is not good
for the Northern Democrats" 1t may
not be. but it IS the only thing that
keeps the South from becoming a Sec
ond Jamaica, that preserves the mate
rial interests of the Southern people
and that prevents the fairest portion
of the country from relapsing into a
wilderness Inhabited only by wild
beasts and hoodooed semi-savages. II
the Herald lived in the South it would
favor Southern solidity as earnestly as
1t now opposes it. because it would
know that only by such solidity can
the South, and all its people, and all its
interests, be preserved from general
wreck and ruin. AS that condition
would re- act injurlously upon the
North, it seems strange that the
people of that section, instead of
assisting their Southern fellow-citizens
in preventing IL, should be doing all in
their power to bring 1t on.
This sort OF talk may do well to
buOoO WIZ huOW uO DOGOCls Uub uudu"
swerable facts right here In our own
State show how extremely absurd it is.
Norfolk has large majority of colored
citizens. and at this time has Kepub-
lican Mayor, yet 1t is growing and i'm
proving every day at rapid rate.
Petersburg had until last May been
under so-called ''nigger rule" for ten
or fifteen years. yet Petersburg con-
t1nued to grow and prosper all the
time.
Now let US look from that picture to
another, not so bright but still very
instructive. Let us look at Alexan-
dria. the home of the Gazette, and here
we find city which for many years has
had Democratic government. and yet
it has, not groom and pr0spered as have
Norfolk and Petersburg.
Does not this contrast completely
disprove these wild assertions about a
city or town where the Republicans

Late Marriages Recall Stories That
Are Worth Reading

Many diplomats have recently we'd
ded Americans, writes correspondent
from Washington. A few years ago,
however, there was even a greater
eagerness to wed American girls. One
Die Campo, of the Chllian Legation,
angled earnestly and widely for an
American girl with fortune. He was
a rogue, and kept the city in an uproar
by his sprees. After an unusually i'm
FASHIONED appeal to a Washington girl
he was recalled, and. returning by way
of Panama, he wrote letter to her,
purporting to come from a friend, de-
scribing in vivid language an account
of the rejected Del Cempo's death by
the dread fever of the tropics. His
obituary was done up by himself In
good shape. The girl was still lament
ing her coldness to the sensitive South
erner when she heard from the Chilian
vino took her lovers place that the
former attache of the Chilian Legation
was now attache OF horse-car in the
Chilian capital.
These modern romances of American
girls and foreign noblemen can not
match the alliance of forty years ago,
the famous marriage of the old Count
de Bodisco. the Russian Minister. and
Miss Harriet Williams, the George
town beauty. He was old and deere
pit. 1t was SAID that he wore '.plump-
ers" in his cheeks and dressed his poor,
broken old form so that he would look
like man of forty, after he saw the
beautiful schoolgirl at her fathers
house in Georgetown. For she was a
school -girl-only fourteen when he mar
ried her. He sent her to Europe to
finish her education, and when she
came back she was said to be the most
beautiful woman In America. A mag
nifcent, fair woman, with golden hair
and brown eyes, was this young wife of
the old Count de Bodisco. After leav-
ng here her husband returned to Rus
sia, and she became the reigning belle
of st. Petersburg.
More pathetic than this story, for it
vas surely athletic for a girl of four
teen to marry a man of seventy. was
the story of his sister. Miss Fanny
Williams. At the time Count de Bod
isco was Minister he had with him as
attaches two nephews of the same
name, whom in his last hours he ac-
knowledged as his illegltimate sons.
One of these nephews loved the sister
of his Incompatible aunt. The Count
de Bodisco claimed that the Russian
law forbade such an intermarriage, and
the two were separated. She went TO
st. Petersburg with her beautiful sister.
became engaged to Russian noble
lnan, and on the eve of her marriage
was found dead, with the ivory minia-
ture of her first lover in her hand. The
tales of the old days are best.

Detecting Lead in Water.

The minutest quantities of lead in
potable waters may be detected by a
simple method. The apparatus needed,
according to the National Druggist, is
an ordinary tumbler and two perfectly
bright and clean knitting-needles. Fill
the glass nearly full of the water to be
tested and add eight or ten drops of
acetic acid, or. in its absence, a tea
spoonful of vinegar. If the water be
quite turbid, double or even treble this
quantity may be used. The needles
should be carefully revolved OCCASION
ally. If lead be present in the minut.
est quantity, in the course of a short
time dark or black spots will appear
upon the needles, and in the course of
six or eight hours the entire surface in
contact with the water will be covered
with gray coating, the depth of color
of which will depend upon the amount
of lead in the find. From time to time
a needle should be withdrawn and ex-
amined with a magnifying glass, if
necessary, to determine whether or not
a deposit is being formed. The same
needle should be withdrawn each time,
and one needle should be left in con-
tact with the fluid three or four hours
longer than the other. After removal
they should be placed in dust-free box
and left for twenty-foCr hours, as in
cases where the amount of lead is ex-
ceedlngly small a deposit may be form
ed which cannot be Immediately de-
tected. but which, after stand ing for
twenty-four hours, becomes very per-
ceptible, the color being yellow or
reddish yellow.

THE South is rapidly developing the
iron industry and bids fair to become a
great rival of the North in that branch
of industry. The total production of
pig iron in the South in 1888 was l, ,062,-
600 net tons. Of this Alabama made
341, ,0C0 tons; Tennessee, 27S.O0O tons,
and Virginia, 217.00o tons. This an
increase of 10000 tons over 1887,
while in the rest of the country the pro-
duction of pig iron was about so COO
tons less than in 1887.

and all parts of this great country;
this has never been seriously at
tempted. Why should the South be
further exempt from submitting to law
and order? The attempt OF Ex-
President Hayes to conciliate the
South, helped them to disregard law
and fastened their solidity. In 1877
President Hayes spoke In Atlanta,
Georgia, as follows: ''What troubles
our people at the North, what has
troubled them. Were they feared that
these colored people. who had been
made freemen by the war. would not
be safe in their rights and interests in
the South unless 1t was. by the inter-
ference of the General Government"
Many good people had that idea. l

who have thought or who have have

believed that your rights and interests
acould be safer if this great mass Of in
tellagent ,Utite men toere let alone by the
General Government. (Immense en-
thusiasm and cheering for several
minutes.) AMI now let me say another
thing. We have been trying it for
these six months, and, in my opinion,
for no six months since the war have
there been so few outrages and inva-
sions of your rights, or you so secure
in your rights. persons and homes, as
in the last six months.
We are now confronted with the
consequences of Ex-President Hayes
acts and utterances towards conciliat.
ing the South. He opened the door of
pacification. How his good intentions
were received by the intelligence and
wealth of the South, is well-known to
us all. What the result will be If we
allow this growing soil of fraud to con-
tlnue, thinking men are apprehensive
Of. We have tried this policy and it has
totally failed. Why try it longerp
The Atlanta Constitution asks the
question what is the South going to do2
Remain in the political minority and
thereby shut out from political power?
If necessary, yes, for greater things
than spoils or patronage would be other
wise lmperilled." Again the Consti,
tuition says in reply to an article in the
New York Herald on the solid South.
1.-The Herald has very little chance to
unlock this problem of ours, when it
uses political key. Politics is not
only a science; it is passion with US
But the roots of this problem take hold
on deeper and more essential things.
When considering it we no more heed
political suggestions than the man In a
light ouse notes the whispering wings
OF seabirds when his ears are strained
to the rolling thunder Of the ocean"
The ground gained by the Southern
Democracy through ex-President
Hayes policy, and the evils that have
been the result of 1t will never be rem
edied by conciliation. The means used
to obtain solid South will be resorted
to, to maintain it. The question pre-
pounded and answered by the COnsti-
tuition is significant.
