REPRESENTATIVE Mills

Representative Mills, who
has been doing a little cam
paigning in Iowa, is back in
Washington hard at work
on his book on the tariff.
Mr.. Mills says he found the
greatest enthusiasm existing
among the Iowa democrats
and from his own observa-
tions he is ofthe opinion that
Boies will be reelected and
that the entire ticket and leg
islature will also be carried
by the democrats. Mr.. Mills
expect to make Washington
his headquarters until Octo-
ber, when he is under engage
ment to make a number OF
speeches in the Ohio cam
paign. He is a warm admir-
er of Governor Cambell and
expects to Gee him defeat the
high priest of protection; he
is also confident that the
next Ohio legislature will GER
tainly be anti-republican, If
it is not controlled by demo-
Gratis exclusively.
1t begins to look very much
like Mr.. Harrison would have
a first class negro revolt on
his hands if he dares to send
a white man to Hayti, as
minister in place OF Fred.
Douglass whose resignation
has been accepted. Proml-
nent negroes here say that
they will do everything in
their power to keep the negro
voters of Ohio at home on
lection day if Mr.. Harrison
does not appoint a negro to
the vacancy or promise to
do so before the Ohio election
takes place. On the other
hand those who profess to be
familiar with Mr.. Blaine's in
tention say that he is deter
mined that a white man shall
be sent to Hayti to assist in
carrying out his policy with
regard to that country.
President Polk Of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance is
out in a interview claim
ing the earth so as to speak,
and taking special occasion
20 make attacks upon Sena-
tors, Vance, Ransom, Cor
don, Morgan, Pugh, Gormon
and Sherman, as well as Rep
resentative Oates of Alabam-
q, and stating positively
that the Alliance would have
a National ticket in the field
next year. Mr.. Polk is said
to be very much offended be-
cause the Maryland Alliance
convention was friendly to-
wards Senatar German in
spite of his efforts to make it
otherwise.
Washington has already
secured pledges Of six votes
in the National Democratic
Committee which will next |

ing made to secure others.

Negroes for California.

A dispatch from San Fran
cisco to the New York Times
says: Senator Leland Stan
ford is giving aid and encour
agelnent to thousands of
Southern negroes. who are
establishing large colonies in
California. 1t is expected
that 10000 negroes will be-
come residents of the State
within the next twelve
months. In view OF these
facts the politicians are a.
larmed, as the colonist are
quite Ill ely to bewilder the
shrewdest political manager
on the coast. The Rev. r. G.
O. Benjaman, a prominent
and wealthy colored man of
this city, is at the head OF the
movement. In an interview
to-day he said:
"Our object in bringing ne
groes to California is to sup
plant the Chinese. The celes-
tials are not citizens or vo-
ters, and the colored people
are both. We have already
signed contracts in orr pos
session, which will guarantee
employment to all the people
we bring here. We have &C.
cured $4,000 acres of excel
lent land, situated in Fresno
and Shasta counties, and all
of iI;may be irrigated. This
will provide homes for an i'm
mense number of colonists.
Our people are now arriving
from the Southern States at
the rate of five families a
week. Within the next twelve
months I expect I will have
situated in California 5000
families. See how rapidly it
will increase the population
forty thousand more indus
trious people.
ut has been arranged, 40,
continued the enterprising
young colonist, "that the
people will be given employ
ment when they get here, and
they will be provided with
small tracts of land which
they will be given from five
to eight years time to pay
for, and a portion Of the pay
ments can he made by work
ing for the owners. They will
raise vines and fruit trees
principally. The managers
of the Southern Pacific rail
road have agreed to give us
the very lowest rates on which
to travel, avoiding, Of course
the violation Of the inter
state commerce laws. Sena-
tor Leland Stanford is favor
bly, impressed with our
scheme, and has lentus much
encouragement. The colo
nists will come principally
from Alabama, Texas, North
and South Carolina"
Mr.. Benjaman leaves for the
South in afew days to arrange
to send out a large number
of colored people. Large
numbers are sacrificing their
homes to secure money to pay
their way.
In the meanwhile, leading
Democratic newspapers are
making loud protestations
against this influx OF colored
colonist, The Oakland Times
in an editorial to day, says:
California has now in the
Chinese as close an approach
to the servile class as is eth

 h64 becoming more and I,JNWx M more common, and fYHEE& WsET##Ih the medical profession fHIATX 4xAtl7lHHTgkTANIT have discovered at tHaf45fT Xifsstt yYEl~A last @ remedy which is N$#kR HI f> certain to cure this

 1ssEg started the furore for FAILED TO HEED THE this medicine among FIRST SYMPTOMS. physicians was the wonderful and almost miraculous cure of Alexander Horn ot the Marine Asylum, Phil adelphia Penn. Thousands of physicians all over this country are today prescribing the same marvellous remedy which cured him and made him able to walk again, when for twenty one years before he had been so para lyzed that he had not lifted his foot from the floor Some doctors recommend and pre- scribe this medicine openly, others secretly. At any rate, it seems unfair that sufferers should pay fee to physicians when they can purchase at any druggists for $1.O0 per bottle this wonderful remedy, which is acknow1edg- ed at the present day the great paralysis cure and preventive.
 The remedy is Dr Greene's Nervura, and J. S. Phillips, Esq, the prominent notary public ot Philadelphia, was the first to certify to MT Horns remarkable cure, and thus bring it be- fore physicians and the public.
 In talking with the well known John 5. Doremus, Esq, 2S3 Ellison St., Paterson, N J. he referred to the really astonishing cura- tive powers ot Dr Greene's Nervura in the following emphatic terms: "Miss Pauline Roe had terrible stroke ot paralysis, and having myself received such great benefits I 6p1 hnT h use it as a last resort. She did so, and the change since taking this medicine has been most remarkable. Surely through the mys- edv, pr Greene's Nervura, Miss Roe has re- ceiyed a new lease of life. l shall be ready at any and all times to testify to the remark able restoration to health ot this lady, and the wonderful effects of Dr Greene's Ner- yura."

 Mrs J. Fisher of fl Vanderbilt Ave, Brook lyn, was restored from paralysis by the same remedy in a no less wonderful way.
 Now that all may recognize the approach of this treacherous disease and take it in time to surely prevent it, the first or premonitory symptoms are given. Paralysis is curable, and it can always be prevented by Dr Greene s Nervura if taken in time.
