Why Not?
RIaekhnrn's Free South.

FEtN NbuNHs
 The chiyalry of American politics is is just now manifested in the proposi- ti0n to make Henri Watterson the democratic nominee for the presidency. Newspapers advocate him with that zeal which charaeterizes a well-bred lover in the praise of his sweetheart. They are ardent, but strictly becom- ing; their panegyric is intense, but well and chastely expressed. They make perfect picture, and gaze with quiet rapture on the bright ideal.
 Nor should they be blamed for this. In fact, the Free South itself partakes of the exalted and exalting enthusiasm. The editor of the Louisville Courier Journal is great man, In him is em- bodied all of good that past era con tained, with the intellect and optimism of our living present. The South, both helpless and despeIate when van pushed, needed one to give her hope and at the same time subdue the evil passions which internecine strife had engeDdered. He, only a man of the ranks, stepped forward to do this ser vice for his people. He was money less-as poor as the humb,est among them; but his eyes gleamed with im- perishable thought, and with heart full of love, truth and courage, he seized the pen and wrote. His states manship helped the South to see her errors; his practical patriotism, his in. corruptible honesty. his tenacity of purpose, brought about an earnest en- deavor to correct them. His logic was ever the logic of common sense, and in time it told in behalf of those for whose benefit it was consistently used; it created public sentiment in the North III favor of kindness and for bearance toward the people of the South who were so suddenly confronted with new order ot things unparal- leled in the history of the world, and 1t brought to Il halt and tempered down that blind partisanship around him which saw no way out of aI appalling situation but through the dark un- reason of brute force. Under the leadership of such as he, With himself at the head, the New Sunth has risen from the ashes of the Old, regenerate and yet the same, neither forgetting nor hating. but living in the eternal present., prosperous, nationally patri- otic, part now and forever of the in- dissoluble American Union.
 He is democrat, and formidable partisan when the gage of battle is thrown down; but his blows are from | the hands of q master, and he is always | the true Ameritan citizen. A man of letters. he honors the profession of | journalism. His humor is pleasant; his wit incisive, but never cruel We're | he to become president, least of all | men we know would modern conven- 1 tionality circumscribe bim: the lowest could approach him without awe, and the highest feel that they were in the presence of an equal. He is a genius
 whom labor has made great; he fully
 comprehends and loves the spirit of our institutions, and would
 as our chief magistrate, send q current of kindly feeling through the
 popular heart of the whole land. Let the democracy consider Henri Waiter l son.

This is Meant for You.

It has been truly said that one half the world does not know how the other half lives. Comparatively few of us have per feet health, owing to the impure condition of our blood. But we rub along from day to day, with scarcely a thought, unless forced to onr attention, of the thousands all about us who are suffering from scrof- ula, salt rheum and other serious blood disorders, and whose agonies can only be imagined. The marked success of Hoods Sarsaparllla for these troubles, as shown in our advertising columns frequently, eer- tainly seems to justify urging the use of this excellent medicine by all who know that their blood is disordered. Every claim in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparllla is fully backed up by what the medicine has done and is still doing. and when its pro prietors urge its merits and its use upon all who suffer from impure blood, in great or small degrees, they certainly mean to include you.

Railroad Mileage.

The first locomotive was built and made it's successful trial trip in Eng Ian, but America was quick to adopt the locomotive and has distaneed Flu rope and nearly all the rest of the world combined in its use. The Rail- way Age has just published an interest ing diagram, showing the railway mile age of each state January l. 1892, and the combined railway mileage of the world. By this table it appears that the total railway mileage of the world is 3s5 500 miles, of which the United States alone have IT 900, or 45 per cent of the total. and North America is6. 300, or nearly one-half. Europe has Al 900 miles, or 30,000 less than the United States alone; Asia, 20e90; South America, t.000; Australia, l3,- 900 and Africa, 5000 miles.

TIE people of the entire state will mourn the death of Mrs. A. R. Win field, which occurred in Little Rock at $40 o'clock Saturday morning, the 9th inst. Tie Little Rock Gazette of Sun day says of the sad event:
 Her Illness had not been regarded as serious until few days since, when her condition became quite critical, and she continued to grow worse, grad ually sinking, until she passed peace fully away, surrounded by many dear and kind friends. Mrs. Winfield was well known and highly respected in this city, where she passed many years. She was the wife of the late lamented Rev A. R. Winfield, for many years pastor of tue First Metho- dist church, South.
 She was born in Virginia in 1880, and came to Little Rock forty years ago. Being a woman of high and mo- ble Christian spirit. she endeared her self to all with whom she came into contact. She leaves son. MT. Edwin Winfield the only surviving member of the family, and legion of friends to mourn her loss.
 Mrs. Winfield had many friends in Forrest City who join in the universal sorrow at her death. Mrs. NJ. k. Win field of this city is sisterin-law of the saintly woman who has just passed to her reward, and to her and all the sorrowing relatives TIE l'IMEs ex- tends sympathy.

BRO. BLACKBURN of the Free South has evidently been attending the theaters in Little Rock, and must have suffered in the flesh like the balance of us. We endorse his protest against the lack of consideration displayed by al legged well-bred women in this particu- lar. The Free South hits them this well deserved whack:
 A Kansas man, who was given a seat in theatre directly behind two women who wore hats as big as barn doors, asked to have his money re turned to him because he conld not see the actors on the stage on account of the women's egregious and disgraceful head-gear. His request was refused, and he instituted suit. We hope he will win. There is no reason why his money should not have been refunded, any more than there is why females, claiming to be well-bred, should per sist in the disgraceful custom of carry ing miniature mountains on their heads at places of public amusement.

TIE Nashville American is not a Hill organ. It even does not hesitate to speak lightly of that. great states man. A recent editorial in that paper concludes as follows:
 If we have to 'eat crow" we shall do it with as good grace as possible. We have had to swallow some very nause- ous dishes in our time. and may do so again; but we do not believe we shall ever have to do anything so reyolting as to vote for David E. Hill.
 This is hard shot to come from one of the staidest and most conservative democratic journals of the country, and indicates disposition on the part of the respectable element of the par ty to revolt against Tammany dicta- ton. But even Tammany is prefera- ble to forcebillism, and if it is demon- strated that only Tammany stands be. tween the South and that hideous measure, the American may as well begin expanding it's organs of degluti- tion. Bro. Neal of the Helena World also cannot refrain from digging Hill in the ribs. It says:
 Whatever Hills admirers may say of him, there is one fact they persistent ly overlook. The Democratic party of the United State is no one man party and no one man will ever own and c0mtro it. Mr Hill is making desper- ate efforts to do both, and is only earn ing the contempt of the best element of his party.
 TIE TIMES would regret to see Hill nominated. It does not believe he will be nominated. If nominated, it does not believe he could be elected. That he is a shrewd and successful political trickster is all that can be said of him. He is not a statesman even Tn the most contracted degree, and his nomi- nation would result in the utter route of the democratic cohorts next Novem- l ber

THE Augusta brass band escaped the vigilance of it's keepers and wan dered down to McCrory, where it sere- naded the editor of the Chronicle. The effect upon that unfortunate quill driver may De inferred by perusal of the following notice of the visitation:
 .'The clear sweet notes of the cornet, swelling out upon the night air, ac- companied by the soft tones of the alto horn, together with the deep, throb- ping of the bass, interspersed with the other instruments, all combined to weave the witching spell that held us all entranced. Rapid, exhaustless, deep" their music flowed and 'oped new fountains in the human heart. '
 The Chronicle man was alive at latest accounts and there appears to be d chance of his recovery. The brass band is again safely housed at Angus

', ano..ars some of fine brethren

IT appears some of the brethren of the press have been little hasty Tn proclaiming candidates for office. We expect to see others similar to the fol- lowing item from last weeks Fayette- vile Democr;:t:
 The Democrat can state that Hon. II. A. Dinsmore will not be a candi- date for governor. He has received many flattering solicitations from prominent democrats from all parts of the state. which is very gratifying to him, and the more so because he has never tried to create a sentiment in favor of such candidacy.

MR. BLAINE's letter announcing his unanalified withdrawal from the con test for the republican nomination for president struck Brer Quay and Brer Foster with a dull tlud. Their oppo- sition to Harrison was of an unrecon- cilab,e variety, and there is no man whom they can pit against him with any show of success since the Maine statesman is out of the range of possi- bilitirs. These two worthles are out of job.

TN iustice to i.s readers in. Memnhis

IN justice to its readers the Memphis Commercial should reduce it's subserip- tion rates or furnish better service. Its cheap printers are doing very poor work, it's typographical get-up being a miserable botch. In no respect does the paper reach it's past high standard. We very much fear the Commercials "eheap" help will, m the end, prove the eostliest investment it has ever made. Heretofore we have relied upon the Commercial as the most accurate. painstakng daily that reached our table. but for the past two weeks all it's departments have deteriorated un- til it is anything but "joy forever"

Honorable F. NJ. Hubbard. district judge of the Eight judicial district of Iowa, in passing sentence upon some liquor dealers for violation of the pro- hibitory laws of the state, said: While there are greater crimes known to the law which are punishable with great severity, there are none which involve more of those qualities known as des- picable meanness and audacity than the selling of intoxicating liquors. One can have no adequate conception of acataract until he has seen Niagara. nor of the terrible fury and grandeur of a storm in mid-ocean, until he has witnessed one; no one can know the utter degradation and total depravity to which his species can be brought un- til he looks upon the ruin caused by your hellisl traffic. You are persist ent, defiant law breakers, and shame lessly boast that in defiance of the law and moral sense of the community you will continue in your wicked and crim- inal practices. It has therefore now become the imperative duty of this court to let fall upon you SD heavily the arm of the law that you shall eith- CT be driven from your nefarious traffic or ruined in your fortunes of wicked prosperity. You have become a stench to the nostrils of the community, and all the good men are praying that you be speedily reformed or summarily de- stroyed. By the providence of God and the favor of this court, these prayers shall be speedily answered by signal and exact justice for your crimes. And finally let me entreat you If you are not lost to every sentiment of humanity, to desist from your crim- inal, vagabond traffic and betake your
 selves to some honest calling for q livelihood, that you may yet become virtuous, useful citizens and entitled to the respect of a Christian community.

For reciprocity to benefit the farmer,
it must be established with those coun-
tries that buy his surplus products. Our
reciprocity, SO far, has only been with the
agricultural countries to the south OF us
that can buy our reapers, sewing ma
chimes and ploughs for half OF what the
laborer in this country must pay for them.
The Republicans are trying to thaw a
little comfort out OF the cold crumb OF
fact that the Democrats OF Colorado and
Nevada may break away from the Demo-
cratic party to join the new Silver party.
As the three electoral votes OF Nevada and
the four votes OF Colorado have been
counted as sure for the Republican party ;
and as the Silver party in these states
will draw to it both Republicans and
Democrats, it is indeed strange that the
Republicans should find any satisfaction
in the inevitable loss OF seven votes in
the electoral college.

OUR OWN WELFARE.

The Northern Pacific railroad is just
about ready to begin the work Of building
their road on this side, If we are ready to
have them come.
Until the road is built in on this side,
We must expect to contend with the south
side, with heavy odds against us.
Already that side is reaching across
the bay for the trade of the country along
the Humptulips and Quiniault valleys, a
country by every law of nature naturally
tributary to us. Bids are going in for
carrying the mail from Oyehut to Ocosta,
and Ocosta will be made the distributing
point for that country. unless we are up
and doing. This is no time for sleep.
We can and should have direct steamer
communication with Oyehut, and every
inducement should be held out to bring
the settlers in that country here.

Democrats Ratify,

The democracy of Aberdeen was jubi-
liant Saturday night, the occasion being
the ratification of the nominations of the
Chicago convention. Sky-rockets, torch
lights and banners marked the route of
the procession as it marched through the
principal streets of the city.
Some of the legends on the transpar-
ences were very catching, especially We
noted:
"10,O00,000 acres Of land returned to
settlers by Grover"
"The voice Of Organized Labor: No
Trade Dollar Reid"
"The winning ticket, Cleve & Steve"
"McKinley's motto God bless the rich,
the poor can beg"
After the procession, the crowd assem-
bled on Heron street, where they were
addressed by Jno. j. Carney and others.
After the speaking, number of demo-
Gratis gathered together to become better
acquainted with the visiting brethren,
and the introduction was gracefully per-
formed by S. Stapleford, president of the
democrat club. President Stapleford's
toast was one of the successes of the eve
ming, "Grover and little Ruth"

THEIR COMPILATIONS.
Communicated

For county with nine thousand in
habitants Chehalis is ''way up" so far as
the number of her papers are concerned.
There are nine of them and in view Of
the coming election it may be Of interest
to have an impartial estimate of their
political compilations:
The Oakville Globe has slight Demo-
cratic tendency, but is independent be-
cause of location.
The Elma Chronicle takes it's demo-
cracy like the Kentucky colonel does his
whiskey-straight.
The Montesano 'Vidette' was awarded
the county printing on the highest bid by
a Republican board Of county commits
siooers. This proves its politics like the
@. E. D. of demonstrated geometrical
problem.
The Montesano Democrat was but is
not. 1t has hardened unto the voice Of
the charmer; and from simon pure de-
mocracy has taken to the milk that will
hereafter be drawn from the Peoples
party's breast.
The Aberdeen Bulletin is unique. II
is free-trader by nature and belief; but
straight out Mckinley Republican from
necessity
The Aberdeen HERALD is for CLEVELAND
and tariff reform. Otherwise it is chas
ing rainbows and INDUCING in irridescen
dreams Of rosy-hued millennium wher
politics will cut no figure in municipa
and county elections.
The Hoquiam 'Washingtonian's' hear
was buried with the Blaine boom at Min
neapolis, but it will make gag an(
swallow Ben, and be for any other Re
publican on the ticket.
The Ocosta Pioneer is an instance o
Republican who can't quite be Re
publican, because it has been gifted will
that sort Of feeling that allies it to-
closely with the people.
The Westport World is for summe
consumption, and knows il has no bust
ness with politics; yet the ghost Of demo
cracy finds its way at times into both tn

- THE BEST

In modern pharmacy is, undoubted-
ly, Ayers Cathartic Pills. Except
in extreme cases, physicians have
abandoned the use of drastic purga-
tives, and recommend a milder, but
no less effective medicine. The favo-
rite is Ayers Pills, the superior
medicinal virtues of which have
been certified to under the official
seals of state chemists, as well as
by hosts of eminent doctors and
pharmacists. No other pill so well
supplies the demand of the general
public for safe, certain, and agree

ayers Pills are the best medicine ever
used; and in my judgment no better general
remedy was
