and was received everywhere with the
warmest expressions of approval The
Congress has assembled upon the invi-
tation of President Harrison, expressed
by the authorization of Congress, for the
purpose of formulating plan for closer
commercial relations with the Central
and South American States. 1t is de-
signed to open new channel of trade
for American producers, and to enter
markets now monopolized by European
manufacturers, and could not fail to be
a bountiful source of revenue to Amer
lean tradesmen. The delegates are now
on tour embracing all the commercial
and manufacturing points of interest in
the country, and express wonder and
admiration at the great resources of the
almost boundless Republic.

So confident are the manufacturers of
that world-famed remedy, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, that it will do
all they represent, in the cure of liver,

Messing its thousands of cures for many
years past, they now feel warranted in
selling it (as they are doing, through
druggiStS) under positive guarantee of
its giving satisfaction in every case, or
money paid for it will be refunded. No
medicine OF ordinary merit could be sold
under such severe conditions with profit
to its prOprietOrs, and no other medicine
for the diseases for which it is recon-
mended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or no pay. In all
blood taintS and impurities of whatever
name or nature, it is most positive in its
curative effects. Pimples, blOtches, erup-
tiOns and all skin and scalp diseases are
radically cured by this wonderful medi-
cine. Scrofulous disease may effect the
glands, causing swellings or tumors; the
bones, causing "fever-sOres," white
swellings" or hip joint disease" or the
tissues. of the lungs, causing pulmonary
consumption. No matter in which one
of its myriad forms it crops out, or man
ifests itself, Golden Medical Discovery
will cure it if used perseveringly and in
time.

BOURBON PILLAGERS.
Pittsburgh commercial-Gazette.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
1t seems to make a wonderful differ
ence among Democratic leaders in the
South as to whether the people are
plundered by carpet-baggers or robbed
by native-born Bourbons. When the So
called scalawag Legislatures were squan-
dering the public funds in extravagant
schemes the Democratic organs, North
and South, were full of bitterest COM
plants and most savage condemnation.
Even the most trif1ing charges were
widely heralded and greatly magnifed,
and it was set down as a demonstrated
fact that the only party in the South fit
to govern State affairs was the ''white
mans party" The ''scalawag" govern
ments were abolished by the bludgeon
and the shotgun, and white supremacy
substituted. Just how much has been
gained by the change is difficult to de-
termine since there is no disposition
own handiwork. and the right of others
to meddle is not recognized.
Louisiana comes to the front as ter
rible example of the ineficiency of a
purely Bourbon Government. The State
Treasury has been robbed of over mil
lion dollars; the stealing has been going
on for years, yet nobody pretends to
know exactly how it was carried on.
But the Bourbon press is not in-the least
disturbed over the revelations. 1t is per-
fectly well understood that the robbers
belonged to their party, and that goes a
long way toward making their offense
excusable. To have been pillaged by
scalawags or carpet-baggers would have
been absolutely uncomfortable.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-10-10
GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY.

If all the charges are true, and some
of the most serious ones are demonstrat-
ed almost to a certainty, against James
E. Campbell the Democratic candidate
for Governor, he is high up in the
'sboodler" rank and instead of posing be-
fore the people of Ohio as the Moses of
, reform, should be serving time in the
penitentiary. Last week the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, over the signature of
its editor, Mr. Murat Halstead, charged
Mr.. Campbell with being financially in
terested in certain ballot-box contract,
which, in the form of bill to sell the
government $4,000 of the boxes, he in
troduced into Congress and tried to get
it passed in the House. Mr.. Campbell
replied that Mr.. Halstead was liar;
whereupon the Commercial Gazette pub
lished on Friday facsimile of the con-
tract, whereby the subscribers to 81 ,000,-
600 of the shares of certain shady Or
ganization, of which one John r. Nc
Lean appears to have been the head,
were to divide the million or more of
profits to be derived from selling $4,000
$40 ballot-boxe to the government at
$25 each, in proportion to the amount
they subscribed. The signature of Jas.
E. Campbell, appears three times on this
contract, for $1,000 each time, which
would entitle him under the terms of
the contract to e-twentieths of the
profits after 10 per cent. had been paid
to Mclean, OF $135,0O0 Mr. Campbell
introduced and endeayored to pass bill
in Congress, which would have resulted
directly in putting this large sum in his
own pockets, had it been successful,
contrary to the United States Statutes,
which imposes fine of $4,000 and two
years imprisonment upon Congressman
who engages in that kind of specula-
tion. Unless the Democratic candidate
for Governor can overturn the evidence
as it now appears to be, in the interest
of decency he should relieve his party of
the odium of his candidacy.

THERE has been nothing in the con-
duct of any County Office which has
been held by the Democracy in this
county during the last quarter of CEN
tury to warrant the claim that any of
their candidates this year will manage
the public business better than Repub-
licans, but the contrary is true. During
that period at least, whatever trouble
has come to the county by reason of in
competency and dishonesty, is traceable
to Democratic officeholders.

The Democratic journals which were
30 glib in their utterances about the
debt statements of July and August
have certainly failed to observe the Sep
tember report. Why this reticence?
Well, it is likely it don't suit them. 1t
shows a reduction of $13,684, ,094 in the
public debt, including s10,000,000 of II
per cent. bonds paid off and the interest
stopped. During the first seven months
of the Harrison administration the debt
has been reduced over S58,000,000, or at
the rate of $100,OO0,OOO year. 1t is
clear that the treasury is not yet empty
and that the Republicans have not
'squandered" all the money as our Dem
ocratic friends would have the people
believe,
