Whereas. it has pleased Almighty God

select the remedy appropriate to his case.
whether it be tonic, laxative or altera-
tive. In doing so l lave recommended
Pe-ru-na, Man-a-lin and La-cu-pi-a,
because many years of thorough trial of
them has convinced me they are the
best that can be procured. Other tonics,
after a short popularity, are heard no
more of, but Pe-ru-na has made a con-
tinual growth in its long history of use
fulness, and has honestly won the high
est rank as a reliable remedy. Tho same
can be said of the laxative, Man-a-lin,
and the Alternative, La-cu-pi-a.
To sum up, we have three sources Of
blood impurities: First, failure of the
organs of digestion to properly prepare
the food for the blood; second, a failure
of the exoretory organs to extract from
the blood the aceumulations of worn out
material; and third, the presence of some
specific poison like scrofula or syphilis,
inherited or acquired. No one medicine
can be made to cure all three. Each re-
quires special medicine. Pe-ru-na is
specific for the first, Man-a-lin for the
second, and La-cu-pi-a for the third. It
requires but the slightest attention to Sc
lect the right remedy, in which case
failure to receive permanent cure is
practically out of the question.

S. Long Of West Virginia and B. j
Sage of Louisiana have collect
lively written and will soon publish
a book entitled: ''Why the Solid
South; or the reconstruction and its re-
suits. 1t undertakes to narrate fairly
and dispassionately in concise aud popu-

how Republicans obtained control, and
how they lost it; the figures and facts as

debt and taxation under these
governments, and the prospect

auspices. The book speaks of the death
of Abraham Lincoln as an appalling ca
lamity 10 the South, argues that Andrew
johnson followed strictly Lincoln IS plan
of restoration, and contends that il Lin
coin had lived he would have been able
to defend that plan against the assaults

its author, who thus becomes directly re-
sponsible for the truth Of his statements;
and the claim OF the book in its pre-
face written by Gen. Herbert,

all the chapters the facts are under
stated rather than overstated. The race
question and race troubles are extern
sively discussed. The statement is
made that there is no intention TO agitate
for repeal of the fifteenth amend ment

Throckmorton Times.

Prospectors for homes and Investments
in lands are beginning to push out from
the railroads and Throckmorton is CATCH
ing q goodly share of them. Few, after
seeing our beautiful and fertile prairies
and table lands and investigating the
prospects of our town, go away without
making a purchase. The probabilities
are that they will reap the same reward
that those who purchased along the lines
of the Fort Worth and Denver and Texas
and Pacific railroads q very few years
ago when lands were only So TO 81 per
acre are now reaping in selling at from
SIS to $50 an acre. Prices are low now 4,
3 90 TO 81 per acre, ana the prospect
excellent for rise to $40 or $40 an acre
within two or three years.

FL Paso Heard From
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The board OF
trade of FL Paso wired the ways and
means committee and the Texas dele
CATION to-day protesting against the
duty Of one and one-half cents u pound
on silver Iced ores. They state
that the bnlk OF these ores
are imported from Mexico and
that to close the smelteIs would paralyZe
the dry ore industries of New Mexico,
Arizona and Texas, and would destroy
the commerce between Mexico and the
United States, as these ores constitute
almost the sole purchasing product
which Mexico has to exchange for COM
modities and wares of American manu-
features.
NO MONEY FOR IRRIGATION.
The prospects for any appropriations
for irrigation are growing less each day.
The fight Is now against Maj. Powell,
who has had charge of irrigation matters,
who has engendered the ill-will of Sena-
tor Plumb of Kansas. They are at log
gerheads, and Plumb will use every en-
OGdh Oh ~ prevent the pdSSGSS VI any II
rigatiOn scheme.
1t is by no means certain that the bill
which passed the senate appropriating
Sc 900, 600 for Galveston harbor will meet
seemilar action in the house. In fact it
is very doubtful if Galveston will secure
anything more than the usual appropIi-
alton in the river and harbor bill. The
REPUBLICANS ARE ALARMED
at the large sums of money which have
been appropriated for public buildings
and other public needs. The millions
necessary for pensions and other national
purposes stare them in the face. They
are divided on the tariff, which will be
hard nut to crack this session.
Altogether they are between the
"devil and tho deep blue sea, with
chances in favor of their going to the
former, AT any rate they will deliberate
long while before they con-
sent to appropriate 81, 900 900 for
for that matter. Your correspondent
has talked with the leaders in the house
on the subject, all of whom are of the
opinion this lare appropriation will not
be made. AS previously stated both
Sabine and Arkansas Pass will probably get
suitable appropriation for deep
water improvements. This is the situa-
ton now and will so remain unless there
is a decided change in the temperament
or the subject on the part of the powers
that control appropriations.

A Two-FoLD PURPOSE .
Pension Matters.

WASHINGTON, April EN- his report
TO Secretary Noble on the business of his
Office, Gen. Raum, commissioner OF pen
sions, says he will be able by the last of
May to cause an examination of every
claim pending in the office on the lst
day of January last, have every
claim allowed that is completed, and
calls for evidence made in those
not completed The result has been Sc
cured, Gen. Raum' g letter says, largely
by two orders issued the latter part of
December last. The first order required
that an examination of claims pending
in the Office should be made, aud that
all cases which appeared to be complete
should he placed upon the "com-
pleted files AdjudicatiIg divisions
were directed to spend five days
in each week examining claims on
these files, and one day exclusively to
making calls for additional evidence in
pending claims. As a result of the ex-
animation made 500, 557 claims were put
on the completed files A subse-
quent order directing that the claims
should be placed on the file upon applica-
ton accompanied by statement of facts
showing that the claims were completed
has up to date added %, $50 cases to those
already on the completed files. Dur
ing the past three months SO, 229 OF these
cases have been acted on, leaving only
1878 cases remaining on the files. Appls-
cations at the rate of $50 day are
being received, and hereafter every
claim placed on these files Will be taken
up and acted upon within week. The
record of the past month shows that
l6 ,874 pension certificates, SlS3 of them
original cases, were issued, being the
largest number ever Issued in one month
by the pension bureau.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The tariff bill
will be reported this week Mr.. Carlisle
is now engaged upon the minority re-
port. No minority bill will be presented,
and the Democrats will fight the Repub-
lican bin in the house. The majority of
the Democrats in the house think
it bad politics and entirely in
advisable to present mill
ority bill. They are entirely satisfied
that the Mckinley bill is wholly indie
fensible, and they can afford to go the
country on the stand they take against
this measure. To present minority bill
now would create unnecessary eTnbRr-
easements. This is the view taken by
majority Of the Democrats. Some of the
Democrats regard the Mckinley bill as SO
bad they cannot believe it is intended to
stand alone. They believe that
Secretary Blaine has had q hand
in preparing 1t, and that high duties
have been put upon raw hides and other
things in order to facilitate GickeT look
ing TO free trade with South and Central
America.
Senator Frye of Maine, who is the
chairman OF the commerce COM
mite, thus speaks on the sub
ject: Ell should think that we
could well establish reciprocal relations
with any Of the countries Of the Western
hemisphere which would adopt our tariff
system and schedules. ] adopt our tariff
system and schedules. l am quite in
clined to believe that il would bo wise to
establish these relations with all the
countries between the borders of Canada
and the isthmus of Panama. It
would not be IN any sense an
abandonment OF any part Of our
system of protection, and il would
guarantee to lis the almost exclusive
trade of these countries. In extending
the boundaries of our tariff system along
so much more of the coast line We would
of course have 10 undertake the added
responsibility of protecting ourselves
from smuggling, but L am inclined to
think that we would reap a great ad-
vantage from the relation, -

The coWardly action Of the house COM
mittee on territories in refusing to adj
nit Arizona aud New Mexico this session
discloses a two-foId purpose. The sem
ate majority is to be strengthened by

Will expose this nefarioUs business and
