The Curtis Medical Institutes:
GENTLEMEN: After q course of treat
ment at your institute take pleasure
in recommending it to those who suffer
from that awful disease, catarrh. l
have experienced some trouble with my
throat and nose for several years but
not until within the last eighteen
months did the disease become fully
developed. I tried several physicians
with fruitless results, other than
probable stay Of the disease. l had
noticed your advertisements from time
to time, but in common with others, set
1t down as quack.
During the month of February last,
the disease reached such stage that
there was but little rest for nae day or
night, especially at night, and being
anxious to find relief from some source,
decided to give your treatment an hon
est trial. During the first month 1t was
question as to what would be the
result. At last healing process began
which gradually continued until now
feel that am entirely cured of the dis.
ease. To those suffering with catarrh
heartily recommend your treatment,
even in the worst stages the patient
may feel assured of much benefit and if
persistently followed may expect per-
manent cure. In conclusion 1 wish to
say that did your institution great
injustice IN founding an opinion before
Investigating, and feel that we should
ever be upon our guard not to permit
prejudice to condemn that which our
better judgment may afterward accept.
Wishing you the success which the
merits of your treatment justly de-
serves. Most gratefully.

RoLITICAL FIGURING.

The Roanoke Record published yes
terday table of delegates elected in
which it figures out 1875 delegates for
O'Ferrall, 1874 for Tyler and 81 for
Buford. Its Tyler column only foote up
127, but chat is mere error in addi-
ton. But the process by which this re-
suit is arrived at is remarkable. Tyler
is given 4 in Clarke. The O'Ferrall
delegates have the solid credentials of
Clarke, though there is contest over
A of them. Tyler is given / in Surry,
claim that cannot be substantiated.
He is given in Rappahannock. Colonel
O'Ferrall has pledges from and only 8
are in doubt.
In Franklin Tyler is given 3; there
are in doubt and it is believed they
will go to Buford. Tyler is given Z in
Prince William; Colonel O'Ferrall has
pledges from IL, and Tyler cannot get
over g. He is given 16 in Botetourt;
Botetourt is contested. He is given G
in Campbell when he is entitled to but
4. In Wythe he is given is, which will
go to Kent. In case Kent is withdrawn
Tyler will get IA.
But to make the figures come up,
Tyler is given IL in Giles and II in
Scott, two counties which have not vet
elected delegates. Scaling the Records
table down to what Tyler is absolu tely
sure Of SO votes must be taken from
the 1874 given him, leaving 46 as his net
strength.

AN END TO p1soRIM1NAT TON.
Presiden1 Cleveland May Modify Har-
rson's Tariff Policy.


WASHINGTON, March %. - President
Cleveland has asked Secretary Gresham to
prepare statement of the existing state of
the negotiations under the Mckinley tariff
law with Venezuela, Hayti and Colombia,
and is likely som to modify the proclama-
tiou of President Harrison imposing dis
eliminating duties on coffee and hides from
those countries. A strong protest was fled
by the government of each country against
the imposition If the discriminating duties
a year ago, but President Harrison refused
20 be moved by /. The third section of the
Mckinley law provided chat the duties
should be imposed upon certain products of
those countries which imposed duties or
other exactions upon the agricultural or
other products ofthe United States, which,
in view of the flee introduction Of such
sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides into
the United States, be may deem to be rsci-
procally unequal and unreasonable
A PROTEST.
The representatives of the three govern
ments affected protested that their tariff
system made no discrimination against the
United States in favor of other countries,
but our government insisted that in view Of
the special concessions granted these and
other South American countries they should,
Ike their other southern neighbors, grant
US discriminating exemptions from duty.
The coffee trade from Venezuela was most
affected by the Presidents proclamation,
and most Of it was diverted to England.
Venezuela coffee has continued to come into
the United States % some extent, however
since the duties took effect and nearly $4,-
O,OO0 from the three countries affected
have been entered at the custom
house and paid duty during the
past year, Our export trade to
the three countries has Teen in the mean
time falling off, and President Cleveland is
disposed to restore the old relations. He
may secure some slight concessions by
showing a more friendly spirit than was
shown by the last administration, and this
is supposed to be his object in calling upo IL
Secretary Gresham for the papers. An in
timation TO the representative of Venezuela,
Colombia and Hayti that this government
was disposed TO treat with them upon more
favorable terms than year ago would soon
probably restore the old cordial relations
with benefit to both sides.
