Rheumatism,

Rheumatism is caused by URIC
Acid in the blood, and is an unfdil-
ing indication that the Kidneys are
performing their functions imper-

gravatcd by dampncss, exposure to
cold, improper food, drinking to en-

same, imperfect action of the Kid

THE URovER's MISTAKE,

How He Made the Acquaintance Of "Gran-
ny" Harrison.
During the brief administration Of
PresideAt William Henry Harrison
who was Familiarity known to the
Wings as the "Cincinnatus of the
West" and to the Democrats as
"Granny Harrison" "A plainly
dressed man, looking like solid,
honest farmer, appeared one Satur-
day at the horse market in Washing
ton, where drovers were used to
come in from the country to sell their
cattle. Here he purchased fine
Durham from u Montgomery county
drover.
where shall drive it," inquired
the drover,
"To the White House. Twill show
you the way"
why, you don't mean to say,
friend, that you've bought this ere
beast for Granny HARRISON" de-
manded the drover, with dilated
eyes.
Eyes, indeed / have, replied the
other.
The drover left his cattle in the
care of his son and drove the Dur
hmm in the direction indicated, be-
quilting the tedium of the way with
friendly chat. II am n Democrat
myself, he volunteered, and voted
for Van. of course, but the other day
at the Inauguration I'll be doggoned
if | didn't throw up my hat and
hurrah for Granny Harrison with
the rest.
"Thank you, said the other.
"Oh, you are II Wing, bnt might
have known that, for of course you
have a salvation in the White

smile.
WAL, now, do you see much Of
Granny Harrison?'
Quite Il good deal. "
"Hqw do you like the old felbw?'
"That is hard to say. To9well,
most likely"
BY this time they had reached the
White House, and the purchaser
ppened tho gate that leads p the
stable, Several men servants came
forward, touching their hats.
Take care of This COW and attend
to her, said the purchaser, and hen,
turning to the drover, he askel him
to come into the house and take
some breakfast.
THANK you, l don't caro- i'll do
Say, could you get me sight Of old
Granny Harrison?"
Didn't you see him at thcinau-
guration?"
Law, yes, but not nigh enough to
kp9w what he looked like, Would
like to get aRq9thher sqplirntb at him
anyway"
"Then come in, friend" and the
stranger Hshered him into the family
breakfast room, where breakfast
was standing ready.
Here were more servants, who,
with deep bows, placed chairs at the
table. The drover began to he alarm.

IIarpcr's Weekly gives what is
doubtless the true reason for Ger
many's exclusion of American beet
from her markets; that is. the dis
eliminating duty imposed on Ger
man beet sugars by the tariff act
The Weekly adds;
"Thcrcforc the blow at our agrl-
cultural interests comes from oui
boon government. 1t is one of the
fruits OF It's protective legislation,
and especially of the corrupt triumph
of the sugar trust, aided by the scna-
tors who transferred their allegiance
from the government and their states
TO the monopoly which was able to
procure the Legislation that will add
millions to its animal profits. These
profits must come from the pockets
of the people. The direct levy is
made upon the consumers OF sugar,
but the indirect levy, as with all tariff
taxes. is the heaviest, and falls, again
like most of our tariff taxes, on the
farmer. who is our chief exporter

Alabama Politics.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March S.-The
Peoples Adcocate, the populist organ,
says it has discovered a scheme to de-
feat Senators Morgan and Pugh and fill
their places with Secretary Herbert and
Congressman Oates, both favorites OF
the administration. Money was to be
used and the administration was to
lend its helping hand. The combina-
ton was to work as follows: Judge
Richardson, of Huntsville, was to with
draw from the race for Governor and
throw his strength to William C. Oates,
who was to be nominated by fair means
or foul and counted in if necessary.
a majority of the Legislature was to be
counted in who could be controlled by
the administration. These should elect
Secretary Herbert in the place of Sen
ator Morgan. After serving n term
a; Governor, Oates was to withdraw
and throw his influence to Richardson
who in turn was to help Oates defeat
Pugh, Alabama's junior Senator. The
safety of Herbert first was insisted upon
by the President.
