Regarded from sectional stand
point it makes very little difference
practically whether the next Speaker
shall be Northerner or Southerner
The South should be governed by
considerations of eSpediency in this
matter. But recently the South was
in imminent danger of Republican
interference in its elections. The
Democracy of the North came to the
rescue, and its service deserves grace
full recognition. The North has per-
haps earned the Speakership. The
South can afford to do without it if
need be. The moderate and dignified
course of the Southern members of the
present House has had much to do with
modifying the North. Let the South
maintain that attitude, and not many
years will pass before the spirit of Sec
tional jealousy and distrust will have
entirely died ont. Jacksonville Fla J

The Alexandria Bridge.
sTEAMBoATMEN PROTEST AGAINST
THE SITE AND URGE THE SELEC-
TON OF ANOTHER.

A communication signed by Capt.
C. P. Trnslow, president; Capt. Chas.
w. Drown, traffic managey Captain
Geo. G. Hamilton, secretnry and the
stockholders and captains of the Red
River pilots and number of steam
boat agents has been forwarded to
Secretary of War Redfield Proctor,
protesting against the site of the pro-
posed railroad bridge across Red river
at Alexandria, La.
According to the plans of the rail-
road engineers the bridge is to be
placed across the lower portion OF the
upper falls, one Of the most objection
able places in the opinion of steam
boatmen, that could have been selec-
ted. During periods of low water
there is very strong current on both
the upper and lower falls and at such
times navigation has been found ex-
tremely difficult aud frequently atten-
ded with accident aud delay On mp
stream trips it is often necessary to lay
hawsers, ranging from 1900 to 1000
feet in length, above the head of the
falls and use steam appliances to haul
the boats over, freqcently parting the
lines and placing the boats and car
goes in jeopardy. On the down trip
with the same conditions of current
and narrow and crookd channel, they
sometimes become unmanageablesa nd
are liable to serious injury. These
risks are run in navigating the falls
with no artificial obstruction in the
way, and naturally the dangers wonld
be greatly increased by the constrnc
ton of bridge at the points indi
catsd.
The steamboatmen are opposed tt
any eridge across Red river, knowing
full we'll that any such structure
across any navigable stream, however
we'll located and carefully planned
is always found to be more or less al
obstruction to navigation, but if {
bridge is to he built they urge tina
it be located either a short distanc.

GOOD ADVICE IN A NUTSHELL.

There are four organs i'll the human
BODY which are vital in their functions
and delicate in their structure, and which
give ms an immense amount of trouble.
These are the Heart, Stomach, Kidneys
and Liver. If they give rs trouble it IS
because we neglect OF abuse them, and OF
course we must take the consequences
The diseases of these organs are very nu-
merous and often dangerous. Luckily we
now have a remedy which has proved
just the thing for this class of diseases.
1t is Pe-ru-na, a purely vegetable COM
pound, that strikes right at the root OF
the whole trouble. This preparation was
used by DR.. Hartman most successfully in
his general practice for years before it
was placed before the general public;
and if was its remarkable success i'll his
private practice that led him TO place 1T
