A Word About CataTrh

" 1t is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semi-huid envelope surrounding the delicate
tissues of the air and food passages that CatarrE
makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats
into the very yitals and renders life but long
drawn breath OF misery and disease, dulling the
sense of hearing. trammeliug the powers of
speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tanning
the breath, and killing the refined pleasure OF
| taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from sim.
pie cold in the head, it assaults the mem mbrane-
Gus lining and enyelops the bones eating
through the delicate coats and causing inflam-
nation, slouahing and death. Nothing short of
total eradication will secure health to the pa
tient. and all alternatives are simply procrasti-
mated suferings, leading to fatal termination.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE, by Iyhdid;ion and by
Internal administration, has never failed even
when the disease has made frightful inroads on
delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste
have been recovered, and the disease thor

A Speech That Has the Right Kind of a

AUGUSTA (Ga-), May lst-The Southern Man
ufacturers Association met here to-day TO con-
slider the condition of the cotton manufacture
ing in the South and TO discuss the sdvisability
of a permanent organization and whether cot
ton bagging could not be substituted for jute
bagging.
President Hickman made vigorous address
on the state of the traffic. in the course of
which he said: 1--WE should control the mark
cts of South America and Mexico, and to ac-
complish this end we should work for and in
woke Government aid Our flag should float
over every bale of goods which leaves
our ports. The British Government is tax
ing advantage of the supposed trouble
between China and our Government, with the
hope of prejudicing that country against our
goods, and has rasSed law requiring every
piece of goods manufactured in this country
and passing through England to China to be
America. We would like to have our own
goods reach China without passing through
England and without the use of English bot
toms. Give us American ships. Let China see
the American flag. If our Government would
lend a helping hand in placing our products in
foreign lands it would not be long before you
would see manufactured in the United
States of America goods made in Man.
chester, England"
Resolutions were adopted to memorialize
Congress to grant subsidies to steamships to
Central and South America: also pledging the
Southern manufacturers 10 pay ten cents per
other light bagging than in jute bagging.
The impression seems TO prevail that the
baling of the cotton crop in bagging is not alto
gether practicable. but the spirit of the manu-
facturers is to do all in their power to AID the
planters.

OFFICE SEEKERS.
The White House Will be Besieged Again
TO-day-The Public Printer

WASHINGTON, May 1st.-The return of the
PRESIDENT tonight has revived hope again in
the breasts of offiee-seekers and the White
House will be surrounded tomorrow.
1t IS generally believed the President will fill
the Offices of Chief of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, Public Printer and First Comp
troller OF the Treasury within the next ten days.
In the ilrst and last offices there are vacancies
Chief Graves OF the Bureau resigned about q
month ago, TO take effect to-day and as the
othee has large appointing patronage. with no
civil service to bother, the lucky appo;ntee can
do much good. Meredith of Chicago is looked
upon as the strongest candidate for it.
For Public Printer the situation has not
changed, aud the fight lies between Palmer, OF
Chicago; Nichols, of North Carolina, and Os
borne, of California. Should Meredith gel
the Bureau 1t is not thought Palmer can gel
this, and Nichols seems to be barred from any
serious consideration by the Presidents state
ment that no Eastern firm would be selected
Osborne S chances seem to be the most excellent
of the three, but dark horse is Helm, of Indi
ana, and he is looked upon by knowing ones as
the coming man.
A. c. Mathews, of Illinois, is the most formid
able candidate for First Comptroller but may
not win through Illinois having so many can
didates for other important places.
