AN EAGER AND A NIPPING WIND,

A continuous downpour of rain, inclem- ent weather, generally in winter and spring, are unfavorable to all classes of invalids. But warmth and activity in- fused into the circulation counteracts these 1nfluences and interpose defense against them. Eostetter's Stomach Bit ters, most thorough and effective of stom- achics and tonics, not only enriches the blood, but accelerates it's circulation. For a chill, or premonitory symptoms of rheu- matism and kidney complaint, particu- larly prevalent at these seasons, it is the best possib be remedy. It is also invaluable for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa- tion and nervousness. Never set out on a winter or spring journey without it. El- derly persons and the delicate and convales- cent are greatly aided by it.

THE daring enterprise of Chicago men IS proverbial. It is doubtless due to the lack of fences in Illinois. When boy steps out of the house and finds no fence around the yard it creates the impression that the world is his front yard. There is no limit to his boundless ambition. The boy who lives in house with a fence around the yard always feels that a "pent-up Utica contracts his powers.''

A TELEGRAM from Baltimore says: "Mr. Carnegie is in the steel rail trust which last year had contracts with the Sparrows' Point people for rails with forfeit clause providing a payment of S1000 day for non-complianoe with the contracts. This forfeit had to be paid the year through. It is true that the Maryland Steel Company is in the hands of receiver, but any one who thinks the concern dead will find it a mighty lively corpse.''

COLONEL HOWELL of Georgia and Colonel Dsnson of Alabama are best known to the readers of The AGE HERALD of all the charter members of the new party known as the "American Bimetallic Party.' The new departure appears to be an effort to se- cure a land slide from the Democratic party, slice from the PopulIsts and a mite from the Republican party, and with these elements form band with sufficient strength to boost Joe Sibley of Pennsyl- vania as a Presidential possibility. The movement partakes somewhat of the green back party, and will probably be about as long lived. Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Butler of North Carolina and Tillman and Evans of South Carolina are among the associates of Colonel Denson and Colonel Howell in this effort to antagouize Democ- racy and build upon the howl for "more money" Strange mixture, that. The Democrats of the South are going to be very slow to join movement like this-to sever party relations and turn their votes over to such a conglomeration as the one proposed. All political battles will be fought between Democracy and Republican, ism. There is DO standing room on middle grounds.

THE New Orleans people are very much pleased with the action of Congress in voting them the sugar bounty-not that they care anything for the filthy lucre, but because they can now gratify their es- thetic taste by maintaining French opera. The threatened loss of the sugar bounty caused the financial failure of the French opera this winter and the Crescent City people were very much mortified. A few jealous people in rival cities went so lar as to say that New Orleans could not appreciate French opera and hence it's fail- ure-but it was not due to lack of appre- citation, but to a lack of sugar bounty. There will now be no more breaking of contracts by the manager of the French opera and no more popular concerts to en- able Monsieur Fragroche. and Mile. Catalini to get back to Paree. No more will the doors of the historic temple of the lyric drama on Bourbon street be closed in mid season. We rejoice with New Orleans in her good fortune, but cannot help fearing that New York will now apply to the gov ernment for a bounty 10 maintain her Ger man opera, which promises to need help more than the French article.

THE Chinese invented gunpowder, but they don't know how to use it with any great success. They have long been famil- jar with iron, but the art of working it has not advanced. Most of the Chinese tools are made by hand. At present large part of the iron used in China is made up of cast off horse shoes, which are sent out from Europe by the shipload. The Chinese make razors, knives and all kinds of implements out of this iron, and there is great demand for it all over the em pire.
 
 WHEN Senator Tillman of South Caro- lima was in Birmingham at the reunion he wore big slouch hat and looked like one of the ''wool hat boys.' Since he has become a Senator he is putting on airs, as the following from the Philadelphia Times would indicate: ''The Southern Populist may be surprised to find Ex Governor Till man dressing as well as the average Con- gressmau, occupying an expensive suite of parlors at fashionable hotel and doing other queer things not in the Populist code during his present trip in Washing ton; but Ex Governor Tillman as Senator Tillman is beginning early and just the same as others before him. Five years ago he had never seen locomotive. Today he is a leader and an apostle in Populist cir cles, with none of the plantation airs nor the South Carolina bayseed in his compost ton. The Populists are just beginning to ind out what kind of fellow Tilltnan is, and their best surprises are yet 10 come.'
