Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption. pr. Kings New Life Pills. Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. J. w. Wells Druggists.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Its well known hat the Demo
cRAT-STAR has been opposed to the
calling of a Convention to frame Il
new Constitution from the day
that the subject was first preached
until the present. Our arguments
against such a step have been be
fore our readers week after week,
and it is useless for us to reiterate
or look back.
The die is cast.
We are to have a Convention at
an enormous expense to the tax
payers of the State, and if the
manipulators OF the scheme are
not.careful, above the average class
OF politicians. we will have a era
" patchwork bed.quilt to lie I'M
der, which will hold 1eas enough
to "ticke the catastrophe" Of the
rising generation for years to
come.
The Bill is carefully worded.-
All the approaches tothe pre-
cincts of the Constitutional Con.
vention are covered, so that the
0riginators OF the scheme will be
pretty sure to 30 back as delegates
and scoop mp glory at the rate of
four dollars a day, and fat mess
Of mileage.
As this is an Office elective by
the people, the present members
Of the Legislature, who framed and
voted for this bill are eligible as
delegates, forit especially provides
that ANY elector shall be elligi-
Bile as a delegate and that The
Convention shall be the judge of
the qualification and election Of
its members
This is all very nice. The men
who originated the scheme, and
voted for the bill expect to 90 back
to make the new Constitution,
and they have made themselves
the sole arbiters Of the question
of the eligibility and ~qualifca-
tions Of the delegates.
As to the item Of cost we may
safely set down the expense of
this unwise legislation at $4,000
in round numbers. 1t cost the
State of Florida, outside the eX-
pense of a new code, $4,000. to
get patchwork constitution, not
ESSENTIALLY better than the old one,
and the necessary expenses OF a
new code will not be less than
$4,000.
SO you e the new COnStitu-
ton which we have been opposing
in the interest of the taxpayers is
going to be an expensive luxury.
and it would be cheap at any
price if We could remedy existing
evils. This, under present circum-
stances, is impossible. So we will
have the'play Of Hamlet withHam-
let left out, which means in,plain
English that we shall have a new
Constitution but little better
than the old one at the enormous
cost of $4,000!
We simply ask the people of
Mississippi this question:
as the game worth the candle p

That Assault.

Our Selectmen are evidently determined
to find out and punish the parties who
threw ice or other missiles at the special
train Monday evening the 18th instant,
aud have offered a reward of $75 for evil
dence leading to conviction of the par
ties, also a reward of SIS for evidence
leading to conviction of parties who used
vulgar or insulting language on the streets
or at the railroad station that night
This is right.
Gen. Dyer, the chairman OF the board,
also wrote In letter published by the
Fairfield Journal II assure you that no
decent citizen In our town countenances
for moment anything of the kind We
shall do what we can to bring the guilty
parties to justice. Russell Post was very
much excited last evening on learning the
true state of affairs and heartily join with
the town liz Offering q reward Tor the ap-
prehension of all "hooaiulIs VINO In any
way insuted your people who so gener-
ously offered their assistance In replenish-
ing the treasury of the Post"
10 is by no means certain that these
"hoodlums" were Skowhegan hoodlums
there being pretty good evidence that
some of them at least came on the special
train, were rusticating In the vicinity OF
the shoe factory when the train left the
station, that they got left and took the
method of throwing ice to show their
spite. 1t is quite as likely they belonged
to the Waterville or Fairfield contingent
as to that of Skowhegan.
