Did you ever happen To remark how
large n proportion of southern ladies
are bellies? car Northern idea Of Il
belle is of II being in petticoatS of such
egrrgious lovelincss and grace that she
shines conspicuous among her sisters
and eXcites more than her reasonable
share of masculine admiration. There
are bellies in the North. a ball may
have its belle; season may have It's
bellies Charming young women who
are special favOrItc- III society are Of
ten spoken of as bellies even to the
nOrthward of Mason and DiXOn'S line.
But whereas with us the title is ephe-
neral, the expression OF passing sen

The title clinys to its preseason, and
long after the gaiety OF her youth has
given place To sober charnS and de-
mpanor she is still described aS that
erstw belle who so dazZied her con

Der that he ever heard OF Il kentucky

rial out of which bellies are made seems
hardly to account for this disprOpor
tionate development.
There must be some other reason fOI
it,and there are grounds for the BELLE
that such n reason exists in certain
characteristics of the southern man
IL is asserted by women of experience,
who have been out in society in the
South that, socially speaking, the
Southern man Is as different from tn,
Mort hern man as men are from women
or fish from flesh. The Northern MAJ
is polite (when he is polite), but tn,
Southern mans poiteness runs int,
gallantry. "A Northern woman wht
has been an object of masculine atten

member it all her life, and to recall i
with regret. The southern women a :,
bellies because the Southern men max,
them so. That seems to- be the seCre
Of it. Northern men may smile at it
but Northern women will take it NOR
seriously, and wish, not imprObably
that IL happened also to them.

THE TITLE MARKET,

Foreign Princes, "Dooks," and Things
Come High-But the Daughters of Mo-
nopoly Must Have Them.
The recent marriages of Wander
bilt girl and a daughter of Mr.. w.
G.. Whitney to some sprigs Of Eng
lish aristOclacy has led to an inves-
tigation Of what has heretofore hap
pened in a similar way and the facts
are interesting. Some Americans
who have made fortunes in IVA
rious' ways have grown "uppish''
and appear to think that this "blaws-
ted" country is not fit to live in.
The following is list of the
American heiresses that have given
immense doweries to titled foreign
husbands within the quarter of a
century. Prior t" twenty-five years
az" there We're very few marriages
of this kind, probably due chiefly tc
the fact that there were not so MANY
great fortunes in this country.

REMEDIAL METHODS.

"Many inyalids believe that remedies
necessarily imply medicines, and med
icines only. This is serious mistake,
for it not only leads them to be content
with such limited effects as drugs are
able to produce, but prevents them
from acquiring proper knowledge of
the remedial resources which exist
within the organism itself-the very
agencies by which in health, the vital
powers are developed and maintained.
"In the compilation of these REPORTS
we have ascertained that the nature of
these physical agencies, as adapted to
remedial purposes are at easy COM
mand, and we have no hesitancy in
saying that after careful investiga-
ton, at the hands of trained represent
tatives of our Secret Inquiry Bureau,
that these remedial methods obtain
their development and achieve their
greatest results through using I'm

DEAR SIR: The interests of National
bankers require immediate financial
legislation by Congress. Silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes must be
retired and the National bank notes
upon a gold basis made the only money.
This will require the authorization of
from $5OO,OOO,OO0 to sl,O00,OO0,OO0 of
new bonds as basis Of circulation.
You will at once retire one-third of
your circulation and call in One-half
of your loans. Be careful to make a
money stringency felt among your
patrons, especially among influential
business men. Advocate an extra ses-
sion of Congress for the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman law
and act with the other banks of your
city in securing a large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal
per accompanying form. Use personal
influence with congressman and par
ticularly let your wishes be known tC
your senator. The future life of ma
tiOnal banks as fixed and safe invest.

as there is an increasing sentiment il
favor of government legal tender note:

DEAR SIR: 1t is advisable TO do all
in your power to sustain such promi-
nent daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and reii-
giOus press, as will oppose the issuing
Of greenback paper money, and that
you also withhold patronage of favors
from all applicants who are not will
ing to oppose the government issue of
money. Let the government issue the
coin and the banks the paper money
Of the country, for then We can better
protect each other. To repeal the law
creating national bank notes, or to re-
store to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money, and will therefore
seriously affect your individual profit
as bankers and lenders. See your
Congressman at once, and engage him
to support our interests that we may
control legislation.

Martin vs. LOCkhart,


mercy Of this gang Of political free
hooters. 1t il matter OF history, wei
known all over North Carolina and the
south, that they rejected the returns Of
precincts at their will and
CHANGED THE RESULT or THE kLEc-
TONS
at their pleasure. In this Congress
sional district, however, in the election
in question, the frauds OF the preeircts
were so colossal that this Contestee
was not driven to resort to his Return
ing Boards. The Office Of these boards,
IN our case, was only to count the
fraudulent returns and declare them.
The provisions Of this law giving to
these county returning boards the
power to con6scate the constitutional
franchises Of the citizen without no.
tice and without q trial surpasses, in
depravity, any legislative or judicial
OUTRAGE EVER COMMITTED
By an English speaking people 1t
would have been a blot upon the his
tory Of England, even before ex-post
factO laws and bills of attainder were
booted out OF the British constitution.
Under such a law and under such an
execution of it, this COntestee holds his
seat. 1t is submitted that the moment
we look at the law and look at the his
tory Of its execution, every presumption
is against those who claim under it
and under the light, or rather in the
dismal shadow, OF this law must be read
all the testimony in this case.
COntestee's answer indicates that he
hopes to cover up the frauds, through
which he holds his seat, by shouting
"POpulist" at this Conte slant, who was
elected bya
| MAJORITY OF THREE THOUSAND.
Somebody has told the COntestee that
the Republican House would be pre-.
JUDGED against the POpulists because
in the North and West, there is no fu.
sion or affinity between them. In thu
South, the POpnlist party is the ally o.
the Republican, not because they agree
on doctrine, but because both of then
have been prosecuted and disfranchiset
by the Democratic banditti who usurp
ed power in these States. Republican,
and POpulists combine for eelf-defence
The POpulist party comprises whit
men who have been in the habit Of vOt
ing and having their votes counted
and who know how to shoot. TO thes

REPUBLICANS OWE THEIR LIBERTY.
This COnte stant was supported by tn
Republican party of this district, nc
because they agreed with him on finan
