It has been in use for more than twenty

significant fact.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise to a host of imitators, unscru-

prating our testimonials and the names
of our patients, to recommend worthless
concoctions. But any substance made

Mr. Blaine has written the following
letter. which some cay means a positive
withdrawal from tho Presidential race,
while others say 1t does not:

Tariff Reform Means Free Trade.


Experience goes to prove that the de.
mand for tariff reform" cannot be ap-
peased by any concession short of abso-
Int surrender OF the protective principle.
1t must he met and silenced by overwhel-
ming defeat whenever and wherever OPP
portunity offers, for as the more candid
among agi;ators admiG freely, it is tariff
repeal toward which they are pressing,
and without which they will decl ne to be
satisfied.
Although the existing tariff law places
more dollars worth of imports on the free
list than was proposed by the much-laud-
ed Mills bill-and while there is nothing
the average family needs to buy that is
not cheaper than under any former law
there is no abatement in the demand for
tariff "retDrm" And none need be ex.
pected so long IS the utmost demand OF
the Golden school of economists is not
complied With. e., free trade for every
article in the supply OF which foreigners
may Gesi TO compete. Proof of this can
be found in the fact that the self-styled
Performers" just as vigorously denounce
the Mckinley tariff, RELOCATING to the free
list one-half of all imports, as they oppos-
y co hlbE II III INV
number of dntiable articles was more
than donlle that of today. They are no
better pleased with the tariff of 81 per
ton on steel rails than with the $l7 enact
ed by for ncr law. They have no word of
commentator for the reduction of TWEEN
ty i've per cent. to fifty per cent. of the
tariff on most kinds of lumber, on mails,
and long list of metal wares. In short,
they refuse to be couiforted so long as
foreigners are required to pay anything
for competing in the markets OF this conn
try. Their silence as to the provision for
reciprocity in trade with friendly nations
seems properly traceable to the fact of OPP
position because foreigners are thereby
compelled to concede some of their selfish
demands for commercial privileges that
cost them nothing.
Argument seems wasted on the average
free trade sboutcr. The only safe course
is to ignore bis demand aud continue to
shape our economic legislation with a
view to steady and profitable employment
of the labor and resources OF the country,
thereby insuring national independence
so far as nature, aided by the energy aud
ingenuity of our people, lender such in
dependence possbiity.-4mricdn Econ

The Senate has refused by vote of
eighteen to order Hurts bill allowing
women to practice law to Its third read
Ing and epgrossment.
P. B. Sublctt, of Stanton, appeared
before the committee on roads in favor oil
the Kent railroad commission bill Thurs
day afternoon, while delegation from
Lynchburg opposed it. The committee
finally decided to report the bill adves ly,
Kent, Brown, of Bedford, and Withow
alone voted for it. Shepperson was absent
and the other nine members voted againt
the measure.
The House passed Mr.. Munford's sub
stitute for Mr.. Magruder's supply lien
bill. The substitute gives the capitalist:
priority of lien upon the corporate fran
chises, &c. of mining and other com
panies for money loaned, and the fur
nishers ofsupplies the same preference o.
lien on tho gross product of such com
panies, and the second lien on the other
property. This bill does not in any way
affect the claims for wages of ldborers oil
other employees.
The bill was communicated to the
Senate at once. In that body Mr.. Little
asked that it might be placed on tho
calendar. but it went to a committee.
The ladies have had their full share Of
attention at this session of the Legisla-
ture, at least so far as the upper branch
of it is concerned. Tuesday the Senate
was for some time occupied in listening tC
debate on Mr.. Floods bill to amend sec
ton 3, }l5, of the Code, in relation to the
husband and wife testifying for or against
each other. The measure proposes to
ALLOW wife to testify in civil cases in
which the husband is a party in interest
either for or against the latter. 1t was
ordered to its engrossment.
The house made the Kent bill the spe-
cal order for Friday, 18th. 1t is moi
probable that much time will be consum
ed in the discussion of the measure as it il
a foregone conclusion that it cannot pass
Those who oppose it will probably he
willing to let the advocates of the meas
ure do the talking.
Senator Harnsberger offered a resolu'
tlon, which was agreed to, requesting th'
Auditor of Public Accounts to furnish tn,
Senate with a statement showing the
balance due by the treasurer of cacf
county and city in the State.

A Lobby of Male Doctors Die

A Lobby Of Male Doctors Did IL.
We copy the following extract from the
Baltimore daily NacS, one of the best,
wide.awake papers IN Maryland:
"The Lobby succeeded in defeating the
bill in the Virginia Legislature, providing
for female physicians in the female wards
of the insane asylums. This bill was
passed almost unanimously by the House,
but since that time such bitter opposition
has been waged On it by lobby Of male
doctors, that it was defeated by vote OF
II to "a There is much Indignation among
the masses over the defeat OF this bill.
IL is very generally demanded"
1t is to be hoped that a stringent law
will be enacted to punish all lobbyists,
who, prompted by selfish motives, disre-
gard the public welfare, and defeat the
